Pray As You Have Seen Me Pray

Ma sha Allah, today I found a great video. It answers virtually every question one could have about the salat, or prayer, that Muslims make every day to Allah subhanahu wata ala. Why do Muslims pray five times a day? Because we were commanded to by Allah, Who alone created and sustains everything else in the Universe. Who could possibly appreciate the Majesty, Power, and Mercy of Allah, and then refuse to bow down to Him in prayer? Refusing to obey the command of Allah to prostrate was Satan's sin. Allah subhanahu wata ala commanded all of the Angels and Jinn, including Satan, to prostrate to Adam, may peace by upon him, to acknowledge Adam's place in Creation. Satan refused to obey Allah, his own Creator. Why? Because in his pride Satan did not accept that Allah's Supremacy meant he had to obey completely. It was only one prostration that cost Satan so much. How much sorrow for those people who refuse to prostrate to Allah, Himself? This video's Google description details the topics covered, but please note that the video ends before covering the prayer itself. In sha Allah, whoever uploaded this portion of the video may upload the rest soon. And I hope to post that portion too, in sha Allah.
