[GJM] Prayer 5 times a day..psycho-social and ecological impacts

[Dr.Muhammad Mukhtar Alam]

Dear Robert,
 
Muslims have been practicing salat five times a day all throught the year and at all places..These are mandatory prayers. The prayer are done with the intent of pleasure of Almighty . I am sure you have Muslims doing it the masjids of London. 
 
About the yogic practices, there is not much compulsion and its communication by the Gurus are primary for health benifits. I do not see people doing it regularly and it is not part of lives all the time at all the places. Muslims practice prayer always. Those who are not doing are violating the commands. Ecologically, practice of prayer 5 times is relevant as this helps in transforming consciousness ,behavior, consumption patterns..I have heard Imams praying for guidance to all..Ya Allah.. hidayat ko aam kar de..I am sure you are aware that Muslims pray for everything and dependance on the grace of Almighty only is the highest degree of peity..
 
Globalisation of culture of prayer 5 times a day is an ecological imperative too..Please find attached a paper  where ,I have drawn from from the holy texts and called for adoption of interfaith commons.
 
I had the opportunity to talk to Catholic priests, Sadhus in Chitrakoot and Hardwar and other while studying for 'models of one governance protocol'

Dear Muhammad,

           Are you actually saying that Muslim prayer can actually improve the
world situation? I would be interested to know. It reminds me of TM and the
Maharishi Mahesh Yogis concept of so-called "yogic flying" in which
large groups of people can influence world events for the good.
