Five Daily Prayers in Islam Called Salah

Light is dancing right inside words

One, two, three, four, five times everyday

Every step of the way

As I head towards the Mihrab

I get ready to recite a prayer

To recite your name

ORDER NOW

Facing Kiblah and keeping the faith,

I bow to Allah and pray to him

Five times everyday

I ask Him to forgive my sins

And guide me along the treacherous way

As I get ready to recite a prayer

I look forward to entering paradise some day

Salah is one of the five pillars of the Islam faith

The pillars that define the religion of Islam

It has been mentioned repeatedly in Quran

The importance of prayer

Is best described through Salah

As I get ready to recite a prayer

I trust in Allah

I pray in the Mosque five times everyday

I pray to please you Lord

As I walk towards the Mosque

I always remember to ask you

For the forgiveness of my sins

As I get ready to recite the prayer

I seek to stay away from sins

Each step I take towards the prayer

Helps me appreciate your blessings

I always adhere to the words of Quran

That require me to pray before death comes

I say my prayers even in times of challenges

And in better days as well

As I get ready to recite a prayer

I know Salah reigns above all else

I reflect upon Our Prophet’s words

About punishment that awaits all

Who miss a prayer here and there

Fifteen punishments

That’s the specifics from Our Prophet

Regarding the punishment

As I get ready to recite the prayer,

I understand Our Prophet’s Salah command

I begin my day with Fajr

And my face glows with joy

As the day drags on

I dare not miss the Salah of Zuhr

Missing Zuhr due to work

Will deny me access to wealthy blessings

As I get ready to recite the prayer,

I anticipate Lord’s blessings.

ORDER NOW

I observe Asr as well

Asr is the early afternoon prayer

I also observe Maghrib

To regain my strength

And thank the Lord for the day

As I get ready to recite the prayer

My heart overflows with thanksgiving.

I end my day with Ishaa

The last prayer of the day

I reflect on the peaceful day it has been

And look forward with prayerful anticipation

For a peaceful night

And an equally peaceful day ahead

As I get ready to recite Ishaa

As the next day dawns,

I set out to reach a new milestone

I may not have read Salah punctually yesterday

Today I want to be on time

All five times

As a bow down to recite the prayer

I am careful about punctuality

With each Salah recital

Comes the responsibility

To spread the word

To all Muslim brothers and sisters

Across the world

As bow down to recite the prayer

I know it intercedes for us all

Missing the prayers will bring loss

Upon the life of a Muslim

I will never miss the prayer

Disrespecting our Prophet

By not praying five times a day

Is a sin

Yet praying leads us to paradise

As I bow down to recite the prayer

I await entry into paradise

Failure to recite Salah leads one to hell

No one wants to end up in hell after death

It helps us all if we all read Salah diligently and punctually

For forgiveness, strength, blessings, prosperity and peace of mind

As I get ready to recite the prayer

I know that many rewards await those who recite Salah.
