Lex Fridman Podcast · #352 – Omar Suleiman: Islam · 17 Jan 2023 podcast

You reiterate the Shahada, which is the first pillar of Islam.

I testify that there's only one God and that Muhammad is his servant and messenger.

And then you read what's called Salah Ibrahimiya, which is the Abrahamic prayer.

So you send peace and blessings upon Muhammad and his family and Abraham and his family.

Abraham peace be upon him is really at the core of this religion.

And so at the prayer, at the end of the prayer, you send peace and blessings and prayers upon, again, both Muhammad and his family and Abraham and his family.

And then you have another chance to make some of your own personal prayers.

And then you say peace be on to you and the mercy of God to your right, peace be on to you and the mercy of God to your left.

And that means everything and everyone to your right, everyone and everything to your left.

So you imagine a congregation when you're in worship, right?

You're sending that to the angels and the human beings next to you, your fellow worshipers next to you.

And you'll even say, you'll seek forgiveness from God afterwards.

There's supplications that surround the prayer.

And you will say, O Allah, O God, you are peace, and from you is peace, and to you belongs all glory and all praise.

Almost to say that you received something in this prayer, that you receive a great sense of inner peace, and now you're spreading that, right?

So as it

really comes into you, then you can give to the world around you what you generate in your own heart.

And in prayer, you generate a great sense of tranquility, a great sense of peace.

The Quran says, verily in the remembrance of God do hearts find contentment.

And prayer is an exercise in the remembrance of God.
