Success comes through prayer / salat.

[YALASH]

Peace!

Worship is objective of creation of human. Best way of worship is five daily paryers to God at prescribed times with all dues. Not forgetting to offer salat while doing domestic chores, businesses and leisure activities.

Prayer / salat is the core of faith, according to blessed holy prophet of Islam.

To inculcate a living connection between God and human is the call of reformation today. Reforms are aimed to establish the spiritual kingdom of God in hearts. Self is addressed first.

Some people has forgotten God. In accordance to the prophecy of the blessed holy prophet, despite the shineness of holy Quran, its teaching is being faded from some people’s hearts. A lack of determination to take the world to One God is being felt. Besides, there is a never ending wait for a spiritual figure that would come to use force to spread peace.


Holy Ahmadiyya caliph’s community has pledged to take peaceful faith to the ends of earth with peace and love. Religion never spreads with wealth and might. Success to achieve the huge goal demand prayer / salat.

These were the prayers of blessed holy prophet which brought success for poor early believers to defend themselves when wars were waged upon them in Badr, Ohad and in Ahzab. A revolution was brought in the world, not by the power but by the prayers of blessed holy prophet who had completely absorved himself in Allah (metaphorically). Might can win territories but not hearts. Power to win hearts comes from humble prayers / salat.

May everyone is granted firm faith, help to observe prayers, beneficence, grace and blessings.

I agree wholeheartedly. Yalash, you write well. There is a saying in my religion, "Always remember, never forget [God]). One thing people must realize is that there is only one God. There are not 5 or 6 different Gods, fighting each other. This is very basic. There is only one God. Prayer is vital and I pray every day. I know that the spiritual world is more real than this one. The soul exists eternally, while the body is temporary. There is a saying, "When the Self shines, the world disappears, and when the world appears, the Self disappears." As well as that when you know God, all fetters fall away. I humbly accept my lack of knowledge, yet I've experienced these ideas to a small degree. I've had revelations, and I've experienced some benediction, so that I know it is real, and it is entirely possible to be transformed by love. My post called "Radiant Apocalypse" is about this, that humanity as a whole will be at peace. Many mystics prophesied this. Cynics speak negative, cynical views, but countless religionists, and non-religionists, simply; people, agree, if they put words to it. The positive value of a single person is astronomical, in a word, beyond value. So all of us together? There are many enlightened people in this world. There does seem to be a bit of sway away from God, that is, genuine followers of God are kept out of view, as well as shunned, discredited and degraded. When this happens, well, quite simply, it is a dark occurrence. There are genuine mystics, prophets, sages of all religions, who have genuine revelations, and if their teachings were followed by more, then we would be at peace and enlightened as a world. As you say, success comes through prayer. Many people in today's world see some value in meditation; many, that is, feel a calling to pull away from the instant gratification way of life, but. . . perhaps it is rare to find someone able to come to peace in this age, to be transformed. This transformation is foremost a transformation of consciousness, and of habit. We feel we are separated, from the world, from God, from our true selves, and it is indeed a "dream of separateness." Thus there are two different consciousnesses, or, of course, more than two; but there is material consciousness, and spiritual consciousness. There is separated consciousness, and the consciousness of unity. The one cannot conceive of the other, but the consciousness of unity cannot be deluded by illusion. As Watts writes, "that distant source I sought was the foundation I began my search from." So the difference is between praying sometimes, in our material consciousness, and having some small benefit from it; of course, how can you not have benefit from 15 minutes, 30 or an hour, of relaxation, meditation, of the expansiveness? For we briefly touch a higher consciousness-force, but there is a difference between this and complete immersion and ultimately transformation, which cannot come from a small amount of practice and dedication. As I say, I have a limited understanding of this, but I understand there to be a spiritual consciousness, a unified consciousness, which we can attain by fixing our minds in knowledge. And I believe peace and bliss in consciousness are possible, and also that this would be a higher fulfillment than anything else. So this is why I am in agreement with you, Yalash. I am sure we will be at peace, I am sure that we can heal the world, which is full of suffering. We need to spread the love and peace of God in song and prayer and dance and fellowship and knowledge. Peace and love be to you for writing this entry, Yalash.

Is there an issue you would like to discuss Yalash?

"Religion never spreads with wealth "

I'll subscribe to any religion that finds me a wealthy wife. ;)

There are too many religions and they are feuding, warring with one another. They are hardly at peace with one another. History endorses this fact. I am not particularly religious despite the fact that I was born of a Hindu orthodox family.

Religions more often than not are rooted in mythological stories.
