PRAYER

 Allahu Akbar - God is Great

Ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah - I bear witness that there is no god except the One God.

Ashadu anna Muhammadan Rasool Allah - I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God

Hayya 'ala-s-Salah - Hurry to the prayer (Rise up for prayer)

Hayya 'ala-l-Falah - Hurry to success (Rise up for Salvation)

Assalatu khairum-minan-naum - Prayer is better than sleep (This part is only recited for morning prayers.

Allahu Akbar - God is Great

La ilaha illa Allah - There is no god except the One God


There is one difference in the call to prayer between Shia'a Muslims and Sunni Muslims.

Shia'a Muslims also add in, optionally:

Ashhadu ena Aliun Wali Allah - I bear witness that Ali is the vicegerent of Allah.

Another part Shia'a Muslims add is:

Ḥayya ʿala khayr al ʿamal - The time for the best of deeds has come.Prophet Muhammad heard of the revelation and adopted it as a call for prayer.


Some also believe that another person had had a vision prior to the companion and thus the prophet became sure that it was a revelation from Allah and adopted it.

......

During the time, there was no official way for people to know the time for prayers and the prophet preferred the call better than the methods used by Christians and Jews.

...

They win by integrating the call to prayer as a collective reminder—a habit that keeps the mind and (body) reoriented towards the holy of holies (the origin). This proclamation of Faith is ultimately the factor to cement integrity and quell the doubts before we can stray far, as the call of prayer, is in effect, a call to come home.

but quesiton so are you implying that we should be adopting a similar method in our prayers

or should we just understand that we are not the best in incorporating what God has to offer in us-

Hmm but even leading up from this the question would be so what? Is there a way we can understand and accommodate better?

oooyo i think the so what is quite clear_-_

we can see the choice laid in front of us. And this would be a choice some people would choose to take, and it'd aid them to claim new converts and stabilise faiths :D

on another note, itd be good to decrease doubt, once we recognize that half of the power in religion lies in the methodology— in tune to this particular context
eh eh ye what makes you think that this isnt relevant ?


hmm i dont think its irrelevant
i think im misunderstanding your explanations

ABSURDISM, EXISTENTIALISM, FREE WILL, POSTMODERNISM

 After the war, Introduction The first world war threw society into a state of disillusionment, and a fracturing of the staunch belief in morals became prominent, sparking literary advancements that challenged romantic ideals, advocating for a new perception of stability and sensibilities. In the poem Gerontion by T.S. Elliot, the modernist stance of fragmentation and the pursuit of purpose lies in man’s actualization of himself. Meanwhile, Samuel Beckett’s waiting for Godot written in the post-war environment of World War II can be viewed as an attack on modernism, rejecting its ideological claims to legitimise purposeful meaning that interprets the world of Estragon and Vladimir with a Grand Existential Narrative . Nonetheless, both these arguments provide a post-war lens that views life without inherent importance nor singular purpose/essence, resulting in the rise of ‘absurdism’— a search for answers in a world that offers no true answer . In this essay, the aforementioned conc...

7 WAYS for achieving your purpose

 CHOOSE YOUR DIRECTION make use of free will.   Jesus and the blind man. Why does Jesus ask him what he wants when it is obvious he want to see? Choose area (learning, marriage, finance, friendships) of importance to you, and make 3-10 goals. What measurable  and compelling goal is possible? Set the goal, and then you have the direction. Reticular activating system: it helps you find whatever you are focusing on.  E.g. Search for blue items. Okay, how many purple items are there? you don't know. Because you only focus on what you look for. Your brain gets excited and get power the moment it knows what direction it is about to take. Decide  your exact deadline when you will achieve it. Also, ascertain what you want to sacrifice . (time/money/patience/difficult situations) The price will be  "Where there is no vision, people perish"-Solomon  CHOOSE YOUR REASONS Do you have insight to yourself? Be a person of deep water, look deeper. Introspect. What...

Conflating the liberty of freedom and burden of choice, and finding the balance in between

"...the individual ceases to be himself; he adopts entirely the kind of personality offered to him by cultural patterns; and he therefore becomes exactly as all others are and as they expect him to be...The person who gives up his individual self and becomes an automaton, identical with millions of other automatons around him, need not feel alone and anxious any more. But the price he pays, however, is high; it is the loss of his self." -Escape From Freedom by Erich Fromm, first published by Holt, Rineheart and Winston, New York, 1941. http://www.alternativeinsight.com/Escape_from_freedom.html and then comes the question many strive to answer; what do we risk to lose when we are already in an individualised state of mind? Even more, i think. The attraction of the self makes it even harder to conform, whilst the pressure for conformity never ceases—in fact the pressure exponentially increases—staring you down through that bright screen all day and for most of the night.
