Prayer (salaat, plural: salaah) is one of the five pillars of Islam. It is incumbent upon all Muslims, including children aged ten and over, to complete their five daily prayers according to the method described here in order for them to be valid. It is believed that communication with Allah will bring life to the prayerful and bring them courage. Muslims believe that Allah speaks to us through the Quran, and salaah is our means of responding.
