Salah provides not only physical and mental rest but also activates our muscles, ensuring smooth circulation of blood. Engaging in Salah helps us alleviate stress, anxiety, loneliness, and fear.

“The prayer is the coolness of my eyes”

Salah, the Islamic act of prayer, offers numerous benefits to individuals, both spiritually and scientifically. Alongside its spiritual effects, Salah has positive impacts on our bodies, helping us stay active.

During Salah, the movements involved—such as standing, bowing, and prostrating—constitute mild exercises. These movements help circulate our blood smoothly, strengthening our muscles, and keeping us physically active.

 Furthermore, deep breathing during Salah, as we transition between different positions like standing, bowing, and prostrating, provides relaxation and helps alleviate stress and anxiety. This practice also reduces the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease.

Salah fosters mindfulness by encouraging focus on the words and meanings of the prayer.

Moreover, Salah provides structure to our daily lives, with five prayer times throughout the day. This regularity promotes punctuality and develops a sense of discipline in us.

Scientific research indicates that offering Salah in the mosque allows us to communicate with others and aid in reducing feelings of loneliness.

Salah gives us purpose for each day and provides inner peace and satisfaction.

Offering Salah allows us to express gratitude for the blessings of God, including family and health.
