Sillah is a blog established by a regular Muslim hoping to do something about the seemingly constant complaint of praying but ‘not feeling it’. Muslims have been praying for over 1400 years. Today, millions of muslims all over the world perform their salah regularly. It’s hard to believe that no one is having a deep experience in their salah and yet so many still cling to this practice. There’s got to be some ideas on how to make the most of it.
That’s where Sillah comes in. The idea is that by bringing people to a space made for sharing about prayer, best practices can emerge on the ways to improve salah from many different points of practice.
WHO IS SILLAH FOR?
Some Muslims have been praying since childhood, while others for only a handful of months. Everyone though, is hoping for a deep and intimate spiritual experience with Allah Exalted above all. Each person can come to Sillah from wherever they are starting and find useful information and connections to move them further along their journey of connecting to Allah.
HOW DO I USE IT?
If you’re using Sillah, you’ve become a part of the community. Consider sharing a resource or personal story about your own prayer experience. Feel like you have nothing to offer? Complete a research survey so I can get a better idea of what resources to highlight. Feel free to browse through the blog and comment on what you’ve found useful or new applications to the ideas. There are so many Muslims who are practicing and struggling with salah, and there is so much we can learn from one another. In the end, all that Sillah hopes to provide is connection through prayer: connection through prayer to one another, and connection through prayer to Allah.
