Brother Ebrahim.
Assalaamu-alaikum
I listened to your program last night (from Canada) where you read about the physiological benefits of salaat to the body. My fear is that people can dilute and contaminate their niyyah if they perform salaah for any other reason than to obtain the pleasure of Allah. We should focus on the spiritual benefits of salaah as espoused by the quran and sunnah. It is not my intention to criticize you or the sister who wrote the article. In fact I quite enjoy listening to your show from Canada. I used to tell non-muslims that one of the benefits of fasting was so we could feel the pain of the hungry, poor people, until I heard some ullema point out that the only reason we fast according to the quran is to increase our taqwa. This is not to say that we should not help the poor. The quran encourages charity, but Allah says in the Quran and I think this applies to salaah as well, the near transalation of the ayat being “Say: My prayer and my sacrifice, my life and my death is only for Allah rabb-ul-alameen”.
Wassalaam
