A:

A sincere believer will say that what is often lacking in prayers is faith. Without faith the Holy Spirit can not guide us away from sin.

A non-believer will say that prayers do not stop us from sins because the Holy Spirit does not exist - he is imaginary. With no God and no Holy Spirit, it is our own responsibility, guided not by the Holy Spirit but by our consciences, to do good to others.

Each person must choose whether to believe that God does not help those with not enough faith, even just to help them avoid sin, or whether to believe that prayer is just talking into an empty void.

How do Muslims worship during Ramadan?

During Ramadan, Muslims pray the 5 prayers and extra. They try to finish reading the full Qur'an as many times as they can. They make dua, pay zakkah, saddaqah, and try to not do anything that will give us sins. The sins in Ramadan are like double and so are the hasnahs or the good deeds.


Why does Hamlet want all his sins to be remembered?

Hamlet's line from Act 3 Scene 1 is "Nymph, in thy orisons be all my sins remembered." "Nymph" is a nickname for a girl, suggesting that she is divinely pretty. "Orisons" are prayers. Hamlet comes across Ophelia who is apparently reading a book of a religious nature (Her father has given her this particular book with instructions to stand around reading it where Hamlet will pass by; the idea of having her read the book is to explain why she is just standing there. In Polonius's words it will "colour [her] loneliness".) Hamlet sees this and assumes that she is praying. What he says means "Lady, in thy prayers may all my sins be remembered", or "Lady, may all my sins be remembered in your prayers." He is basically asking her to pray for him and for the forgiveness of his sins. This is at once a conventional thing to say but also a way of asking her to forgive whatever it is that he has done to make her refuse to see him and to turn back all of his letters. Hamlet does not know why Ophelia has suddenly turned against him--he may believe that it is because of bursting into her bedroom half-undressed like he did. By asking her to pray for forgiveness of his sins, he may be reminding her of the line from the Lord's Prayer, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us."
