Muslim's Prayers

By Messenger Elijah Muhammad

Reprinted from page 63 of  The Supreme Wisdom, Vol. 2

    Muslims pray five times a day, not once a week or once a year.

    They pray at sunrise, at noon, at mid-afternoon, at sundown, and before retiring.

   If awakened through the night, another prayers is made! In fact.,  two prayers  should be said during the night, making a total of seven prayers a day.

    There is no worship of a Sunday or Sabbath in Islam, all the days are worship days.

    The Muslims wash and clean all exposed parts of their bodies before each prayer, which is made facing in the direction of the SUNRISE (East).

MUSLIM  PRAYER SERVICE IS UNEQUALED

    Study the Muslim's way of worship and you will agree  with me that there is no better way of divine worship. Why? For one thing, the Muslim always washes and cleans himself before communicating with Allah (God). In other words, he first cleans his own body and then invites the clean Holy Spirit to come (into his body). That is the best state (of body as well as of mind) in which to say one's prayers.

MUSLIM  PRAYER SERVICE BEST SUITS THE SO-CALLED NEGROES

    I say that no  religious worshipper could beat such a preparation for his  prayer service or use more honor and submission  to his Maker as I have described in preceding paragraphs.

    The Muslim's Prayer Service or use   more honor and submission to his Maker as I have described in preceding paragraphs.

    The Muslim's Prayer Service, therefore, is the best to be used by the so-called Negroes in America, for its words fit their condition more than any other people on earth.

    Until now, we have been turned from our God (Allah) towards the devil, believing in and worshipping a trinity of Gods, with our faces down or upward  towards the sky, and our thoughts of God in the sky.

DESCRIPTION OF PRAYER

    The Muslim begins his prayer by declaring that ALLAH IS THE GREATEST and that he bears  witness  that there is "No God by ALLAH," and that none  deserves to be served (worshipped) but Him. He further declares that Muhammad is His Apostle (an Apostle whom Allah would raise up from the lost and found people of the see of Abraham in the Days of Judgement).
