Abdul Karim Yahya - Prayer: Tears of Joy

About this lecture

In this lecture, Sheikh Abdul Karim Yahya explores the profound gift of the five daily prayers, tracing their origin to the night of al-Isra and al-Mi'raj when the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ received them directly from the Divine Presence at Qaba Qawsayn. Drawing on Hadith, Seerah, and the wisdom of classical scholars, he illuminates why salah was the Prophet's greatest source of joy and comfort — his qurratu 'ayn — and calls believers to make excellence in prayer the true expression of their love for the Prophet ﷺ, especially in the blessed month of Rabi' al-Awwal.
