Be devoted in your prayers; Be mindful of your actions during prayer; Strive for perfection in your prayers; Have a clean heart before meeting Allah.

The hadith narrated by Yahya from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Ali ibn Husayn ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib said speaks of the prayer routine of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. He would say “Allah is greater” when he was lowering and raising himself in prayer until he met Allah. This shows us how devoted the Prophet ﷺ was to his prayers and how important it was for him to be mindful of his actions during them. It also serves as a reminder for us to be mindful of our own prayers and strive to make them as perfect as possible so that we can meet Allah with a clean heart.
