Prayer in Islam
~ 77 ~
I should like to sum this up by quoting a part of a
sermon by Jesus Christ, relating to prayer. These
words of Jesus Christ, to which Islam also
subscribes, are the very essence of prayer:
Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock,
and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who
asks will receive, and anyone who seeks will find, and the
door will be opened to him who knocks. Would any of you
who are fathers give your son a stone when he asks for
bread? Or would you give him a snake when he asks for a
fish? Bad as you are, you know how to give good things
to your children. How much more, then, will your Father
in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
(Matthew 7:7-11).
