Which is good. I found a book that guides you to integrate all the words step by step so you can actually do Salah almost right away and as you get more comfortable, you add more words until it is complete.
You are very welcome my noble brother...and Ma shaa Allah, May The Lord of heavens and earth The Most Merciful bless you and help you with all good Ameeeen
Indeed, Salah is a source of peace how not when it is the connection between you and your Lord The Creator...what more beautiful than submitting to The One Who created us, Who is taking the best care of us and giving us all good...what more beautiful to fall on face and call Him: O God Praise be to you...and cry for Him in that state and asking His forgiveness, love, pleasure and mercy...
Nothing is more beautiful that that moment ever; it has its own sweetness...you are not in the world when you are on the floor remembering The AlMighty and talking to Him..only Him and you and none knows what you are saying but Him...
The Best Lord I have ever known and will know and nothing and none like Him The Exalted...when you know Him and get closer and closer to Him When you are living as His slave and make Him the first the last the everything and above all then I swear you will feel it...that you own the whole world and what's in it all...
No matter what may happen then it is nothing...you fear nothing cause you have Him and the only thing you will fear is to displeases The One you love The Most to lose His love ....
He never disappointed me ever...always giving me the best of the best (even if I can't see that what He Is giving is the best still the best cause He knows what the best for the one He created while I the slave know nothing) and whatever bad thing happen to me then it is because of me being sinful and even with me being sinful still He listens to me when i return to Him in repentance asking for His forgiveness...He forgives and accepts His slave repentance and encourage me always to go ahead not looking back after learning from my mistakes, always carrying me when I slip and fall... laa ilaha illa Allah.
Do i need anyone in this world? No, i need none cause I have The One The Most Perfect Who gave me everything...All Praise, Thanks and Glory be to Allah Who belongs to Him all Might and Majesty...
If Allah wasn't my Lord then I don't wanna be...cause life worth nothing without Him my Lord my Love and Everything. laa ilaha illa Allah.
I love this verse from Qur'aan:
""Verily, my Salat (prayer), my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). (
162) Surat Al An'aam
May Lord make us deserve being His slaves and help us to worship Him right; keeping us firm on His path of guidance Ameeen
Forgive me for the long post but I just can't hold my self when I think about Him...
