Pray like Prophet Muhammad prayed

This hadith speaks to the importance of praying in a manner similar to that of Prophet Muhammad. It was narrated from Abu Salamah that Abu Hurairah used to lead them in prayer, and he said the takbir when he went down and came up. When he had finished, he said “By Allah, I am the one among you whose prayer most closely resembles that of the Messenger of Allah”. This shows us how important it is for us to pray as Prophet Muhammad did so we can be closer to him spiritually. We should strive to make our prayers resemble those done by Prophet Muhammad as much as possible so we can benefit from his spiritual guidance and closeness with God Almighty.
