      The Longing of the Soul does not aim to represent a guideline for the correct understanding and the correct execution of the Prayer rituals, nor does it represent a guideline for the Islamic jurists. This book tries to reawaken the sacred sensibilities we have lost. The essential goal lies in the attempt to bring back the love we have lost in terms of the acts of worship the Almighty enjoined us to fulfill, the joy of obedience to His command, and the pleasure of having faith in Him.
