Each phrase in salah isn’t just a recitation—it’s a doorway to transformation. 1️⃣ The shahadah renews your identity as a believer. أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَةَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ عُمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ "Ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan rasul Allah." And if you renew our identity at least 9 times a day, how could you ever lose yourself? 2️⃣ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ "As-salaamu 'alayna wa'ala ibadillah as-saliheen" This phrase of salaam sends peace to every righteous soul and reminds you that you are not alone. You are part of our ummah, loved and connected through Allah. Every single moment of prayer is transformative-if you allow it to be. This Dhul Hijjah, go beyond the motions.
