It was here in Makkah where our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be
upon him) was visited by the Archangel Gabriel. Muhammad was flown from
his house in Makkah to Jerusalem mounted on Al-Buraq, which travelled at
the speed of light.
When he arrived in Jerusalem Prophet Muhammad led the previous
Prophets in prayer at AL-Masjid Al-Aqsa. After he was descending to the
heavens it was there that the prayer was established and made
compulsory.
It’s till today that the nation of Muhammad (peace be upon him)
answer the call to prayer in order to thank, praise and remember Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala (Exalted is He).
As the sound of the Adhan (call to Prayer) is heard throughout
the world, Muslims stop and turn to the Lord, thanking Him, remembering
Him, bowing down to him in prayer.
Salah is the most important Pillar of Islam after the two Shahadah (testimony of faith): ‘Ash hadu an la ilaha illa Allah, wa ash hadu anna Mohammadan rasoolu Allah’ (I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is His Messenger).
The aim of the project is to introduce salah to those who
don’t know how to pray at all, for beginners or for those who have some
idea or for those who want to perfect their prayer.
