What is salah?

Prayer, or Salaah, is one of the five essential pillars of Islam. Taking time out to pray five times a day helps us remember Allah and our purpose in life – to worship Him. When we turn towards Mecca, we are united with all the Muslims around the world who face the same direction, and when we raise our hands to begin Salaah, we put aside the stresses and worries of life to remember our Lord.
