With Sabeeha Rehman
Five times a day, Muslims around the world turn towards Mecca and perform Salat - the ritual of prayer to God. Men, women, and children - they pray in mosques, they pray in public places, and they pray in the privacy of their homes; they pray in congregations, and they pray in solitude; they pray at dawn, and they pray at dusk. Throughout the centuries and across the globe, the ritual of prayer has remained constant and uniform. What is the genesis of prayer in Islam? What does the performance of prayer signify? Join us with our host, Sabeeha Rehman, and through her lens, visualize the beauty of salat, listen to the voice of recital, and experience the ritual of prayer.
Sabeeha Rehman is the Director of Interfaith Programs at the American Society for Muslim Advancement (ASMA), and is a member of the Shura Council of the Women's Islamic Initiative in Spirituality and Equality (WISE), a program of ASMA.
