What are the social benefits of salah?

Answer 1

Social Benifit of Salaah

The concept of praying 5 times daily prayers alone can breed a disciplined, punctual, devoted aspect to any individuals life.

As multiple relatively short yet long termed sustainable activity; neither is it a streinous exercise regime, nor a long drawn out yoga session, but a repeated attempt at centralizing, regenerating, refocusing and re aligning ones magnetic axis of life once more to zero degrees. Meaning ridding oneself of societal, emotional, behavioural and mental extremes.

By repetition results unintentional perfection. the medical benefits are a by product, aiding the overall health of this group of society.

The societal benefits resultant of congregational prayer are multifold.

Imagine a community where at sunset, the arrival of evening brings stillness and brotherhood, in contrast to the usual raucousness and rowdiness witnessed by many.

Having to return to the evening prayer over an hour later, its participants once again stand side by side in a show of unity and brotherhood, to regain their senses, take the days "edge" off, relax minds and muscle, and emerge holistic well rounded individuals, far from any intent to harm any human or animal let alone property of their fellow beings.

The congregants know, and are subject to repeated attempts at perfection of straightening up, that there lays great wisdom behind the emphasis of straightening their rows to the point of aligning their shoulders able to be illustrated by a sword.

This unifies their hearts in line with one another, revealing people of a common interest and goal which key components in individual psychological wellbeing. These are just some of the benefits. Minimum you are left with the benefit of a crime-free, drug-free society, who can ask for anything better today?
