Surrendering ego and desires in prayer from "summary" of The Spiritual Reality of Prayer (Salat) by Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman
The act of prayer is not merely a physical ritual but a spiritual practice that requires a deep level of surrender. When we stand before our Creator in prayer, we must let go of our ego and desires, allowing ourselves to be completely vulnerable and open to the Divine presence. This act of surrendering is essential for truly connecting with the spiritual reality of prayer. Our ego often acts as a barrier between ourselves and the Divine, clouding our intentions and distracting us from the true purpose of prayer. By surrendering our ego, we humble ourselves before Allah, acknowledging our limitations and weaknesses. This humbling experience allows us to let go of our pride and arrogance, creating space for a deeper connection with the Divine. Similarly, our desires can also hinder our ability to fully engage in prayer. When we bring our desires into our prayers, we risk diluting the purity of our intentions and shifting the focus away from worshipping Allah. Surrendering our desires means letting go of our attachments to worldly pleasures and submitting ourselves completely to the will of Allah.- Surrendering ego and desires in prayer is about relinquishing control and trusting in the wisdom and guidance of Allah. It is a profound act of submission and humility, allowing us to transcend our own limitations and connect with the infinite power of the Divine. Only through this act of surrender can we truly experience the spiritual reality of prayer and draw closer to Allah.
