EFFECT OF PRAYER ON SOCIAL LIFE
The reforming effect of prayer is certainly not confined to the individual only. It encompasses a wide range of social domains, so that the life is organized and straightened according to Allah's will.
In order to fulfill the objectives of prayer, the Qur'an links keeping up prayers to social reformation and doing good deeds.
The Holy Qur'an declares:
"...and you shall speak to people good words and keep up prayer and pay zakat (the poor-rate..." Holy Qur'an (2:83)
"Have you not seen those to whom it was said: Withhold your hands, and keep up prayer..."
Holy Qur'an (4:77)
"And We made them imams who guided (people) by Our command and We revealed to them the doing of good and the keeping up of prayer..."
Holy Qur'an (21:73)
"Those who, should We establish them in the land, will keep up prayer and pay zakat (the poor-rate) and enjoin good and forbid evil; and Allah's is the end of affairs."
