Reflecting on life's purpose from "summary" of The Spiritual Reality of Prayer (Salat) by Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman
Reflecting on the purpose of life is a fundamental aspect of prayer. It is through this reflection that we are able to understand our existence and our role in this world. By contemplating our purpose, we are able to align ourselves with the divine will and seek guidance on how best to fulfill our responsibilities. Through prayer, we are reminded of the transient nature of this world and the importance of focusing on the eternal. It is through this reflection that we are able to gain clarity and perspective on our lives, leading to a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment. By turning our attention inward during prayer, we are able to connect with our inner selves and gain insight into our true desires and aspirations. This self-reflection allows us to identify areas in our lives where we may be straying from our true purpose, and provides us with the opportunity to realign ourselves with our spiritual goals. Prayer serves as a reminder of our ultimate purpose in life - to worship and serve the Creator. It is through this act of worship that we are able to cultivate a deeper sense of gratitude, humility, and devotion, leading to a more meaningful and purposeful existence.- Reflecting on the purpose of life through prayer allows us to live with intention and mindfulness. It enables us to transcend the mundane aspects of daily life and connect with the spiritual realm, fostering a sense of peace, contentment, and fulfillment. Through prayer, we are able to find meaning and purpose in all that we do, guiding us towards a more purposeful and fulfilling life.
