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 its origins to the miraculous night of al-Isra and al-Mi'raj when the Prophet Muhammad received salah directly from the Divine Presence at Qaba Qawsayn. Drawing on Hadith, Quranic verses, and classical scholarly narrations, he illuminates why the Prophet described prayer as the coolness of his eyes and his truest source of joy. The lecture is a heartfelt call to Muslims — especially those who struggle with consistency — to reconnect with salah as a living bond with the Prophet and a private communion with Allah.
