Introduction

In the Name of Allah, the All Compassionate, the All Merciful

All praises and thanks are to  God, the Provider, Merciful, and the Master of the day of judgement,  May  peace,  blessing  and  salutation  be  upon  the  seal  of  Prophets  and Messengers - Mohammad (cpth). ["Cpth: Communication with Al‟lah and peace are through him.  ]  The  leader of all Prophets, our  lover and  guidance  who communicates and  links himself to The Almighty God, he taught human beings to love communicating with their Provider-the Almighty God. As he reconnects the believers after being cut off from their Creator and  Provider extracting the  rules  to  link  and communicate  with  God  from the Holy Qur’an, may peace and blessing be upon him, his companions, his family and those who follow him in good deeds.

The honourable teachers:

The interpretation of the  holy Qur’an and understanding its sublime meanings,  give you the best skills to bring up the students in good and perfect ways. God Has descended the holy Qur’an for us to follow it perfectly, He Has created human being "with the ability to thinkgranting him the thought. The holy Qur’an calls and asks human to think so as to know his duties and the importance of the holy Book of God-(Qur’an).

In these procedures, youth "students" and others will really know the wisdom which is folded in prayer (the link and communication with God), what it is, and how to perform it correctly. Also, they will also be acquainted with the details of interpretation of Fortress Al-Fatiha and other short Fortresses of Am’ma part, which many people used to recite in prayer, this will lead them to better understanding of what they recite in prayers.

Also,  there  are  three   noble  Hadiths   from  the  holy  Prophet  that  teach  people  the fundamentals of good character,  high morals, why God  has created human and sent him to this world, how to get strong belief, and how to handle others in good and kind ways, without oppressing any creature on earth with no tangible reason whether it is bird, plant or any other living thing, remembering that God  has created everything in this Universe for the favour and service of you oh man.

Again, there are stories of facts narrated by the great Scholar M. A. Sheikho  (God  has sanctified his secret) which will ease the understanding of this book to the students owing to the  fact that they teach them how to  use their  great thought properly through which God  Has  favoured  man above all other creatures. They have to  think  well, spend their time  in beneficial activities as ordered by God  instead of earthly passive desires.  They have to be hard-working in everything such as worship, education and be kind and good to others.  God  Has created man in this world to do  good deeds which will carry him to Paradise.  He  should  help  all  people  through  his  good  deeds,This  good  should  be  to everybody no  matter his colour or race and wrong no body because  God  is not pleased with the oppressors. The Almighty Says: (Who has created death and life that He may test you which of you is  best in deed (good deeds) and He  is  the  Almighty, the  oft- Forgiving) Fortress 67, Al- Muluk, verse 2.

So, why has God  made Prayers (link and communication with God) compulsory to man? You will get the clear answer from this book together with the aim and wisdom behind it which are for man to fully accept and face God in his heart.

What does a worshiper  gain by accepting and getting near to  God?  By this  nearness to God his heart will be full of perfection, kindness and righteousness and he will love good and helping others. All that will lead him finally to eternal happiness and Paradise.  God Says:(Those whose souls are taken by the Angels while they are in a pious state (i.e. pure  from the evil, worshiping  nonbut  God  alone) saying to them peace  be  upon you enter Paradise  because  of  (the  good) you  use  to do  (in the  world))  Fortress 16,  An- Nahl, verse 32.

Without  perfect  prayers  (the  link and  the  communication with  God)  human spirit  will never  require  good  deeds  and  will  be  prohibited  from  successes  in  this  world.  The greatest deeds are guiding and helping others and the teachers have the great opportunity to achieve them through guiding and helping students to become successful tomorrow.
