Omar Suleiman

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.

That is, again, obligatory five times a day, no matter where you are.

So outside a coffee shop in the grass, outside a coffee shop.

And I try to make it a point to tell people if I'm about to pray in front of them.

So like, you know, in the airport, let's say, for example, I'll go to the corner next to a gate.

Yeah.

And if there are people sitting there like, hey, I'm about to engage in a prayer.
