    Sayyid Al-Hakeem's Ramadan Lecture: Prayer’s Effect and the Right of Remembrance in Imam Sajjad's Epistle of Rights

    In his Ramadan lecture, Sayyid Ammar Al-Hakeem, Head of the National State Powers Alliance, continued his discussion on the spiritual effect of prayer as outlined in The Epistle of Rights by Imam Ali ibn Al-Hussein, Al-Sajjad (peace be upon him). H.E. examined the ninth effect concerning the right of prayer and remembrance - essential obligations every Muslim must uphold in daily life.
    Sayyid Al-Hakeem highlighted how prayer strengthens divine remembrance, citing key Quranic verses that reveal this profound connection:
    "And establish prayer at the two ends of the day and the approach of the night. Indeed, good deeds do away with misdeeds. That is a reminder for those who remember." 
    ( 11:114 Holy Quran)
    H.E. emphasized that prayer exemplifies righteous deeds that purify sins and invite forgiveness.
    “And I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed. Indeed, I am Allah. There is no deity except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance."
    ( 20:13-14 Holy Quran)
    H.E. underscored the need for contemplative engagement with Quranic guidance, noting how prayer reinforces monotheism and righteous deed.
    The lecture also referenced verses stressing continuous remembrance after prayer:
    "O you who have believed, when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu'ah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew."
    ( 62:9 Holy Quran)
    "And when you have completed the prayer, remember Allah standing, sitting, or [lying] on your sides."
    ( 4:103 Holy Quran)
    Concluding, Sayyid Al-Hakeem affirmed prayer as the foundation for spiritual growth with Allah. H.E. illustrated how prayer is a source of inner peace, mercy, and compassion, considering it a way to tame one’s wants and raise the spirit.
    The lecture continued in an atmosphere of faith and reasoning, where Sayyid Al-Hakeem promised to continue lecturing more religious effects in the future.
