9 Easy-to-Memorize Daily Prayers

Dream - Prophet Muhammad SAW taught Muslims to always pray to Allah SWT in carrying out all their activities. Even though he was guaranteed to enter heaven, the Prophet never stopped praying daily prayers to ask for His protection.

Prayer is a form of a servant humbling himself, showing his needs, and humbling himself before the Most Glorious Being.

Praying is also an effort to cleanse the soul from bad things. Even prayer is called the last effort made after humans have made every effort.
