Salat Poem by Asif Andalib

We go for ablution
Before performing Salat
And stand on a clean place for Salat
Because God is the most holy
Then we express our intention to do it
Since at first God wished to create
Then we raise our hands
To surrender to God
Then we recite Surah Al-Fatiha
The best prayer
And couple of other chapters
From the holy Koran
Since they are full of advices
Then we bow and prostrate
To remember God
Since God remembers those
Who remember Him
Then we pray for prophet Abraham
And prophet Muhammad
Since God becomes happy
If we pray for them
At last we convey Salam
To the angels
Who note down our actions
Since they are also our guardians

We do not change the place
Where we stand
During performing Salat
Unless it is absolutely necessary
Since God does not move
But we bow, prostrate and sit in Salat
Because God's body can move
Inside His glow

We bow in Salat
To show our respect towards God
We prostrate in Salat
In utmost awe and surprise
Imagining we are touching at first
Right foot of God's body
With our hands, forehead and nose
Then we do it again
Imagining God's body
Has moved a little bit
From Right to left
And we are touching
Left foot of God's body

We do not eat, drink and enjoy sex
During Salat
Since God's body doesn't do these things
We do not sleep and drowse
During Salat
Since God's body doesn't do these things
We do not tell lies and say worthless things
During Salat
Since God's body doesn't do these things

That's why Salat is the best worship
And the easiest way to please God.
