| | Salat |
 | | Salat is the ritual worship of the Muslim community; as worship through prayer, and it is distinguished from du'a, personal prayer or supplication by an individual or group. |
 | | The salat, one of the five pillars of the faith, is mentioned in the Qur'an as a duty performed by believers who give the Zakat, or alms. |
 | | The salat, as an obligation upon all Muslims and a sign of submission and humility, and adherence to the Islamic community, is held to be a sign of the true believer, who thus, for his devout and conscientious regular worship, will gain admittance to paradise. |
