This book of Prayer is called [Al-Jami' li-ahkam is-salah], because I recorded in it all the issues of prayer addressed by the shar' texts, without including those subjects discussed by the jurists that relied upon analogy (qiyas), discretion (istihsan) and the like. This is because worships ('ibadat) particularly are tawqifi, which means they must be only deduced from the texts, namely: The Book (Qur'an) and the sunnah (traditions of the Prophet (saw)). Therefore, the ahkam (rules) in this book are considered jurisprudence of texts only. When referring to the sunnah texts I observed to take them from their sources of hadith books, rather than from fiqh (jurisprudence) books, because there is generally a difference between the words of the ahadith in the hadith books and the jurisprudence books. I have committed myself in deduction to refer to the sound (saheeh) and good (hasan) ahadith that were considered so by the majority or some of the scholars of hadith. I did not use any hadith for deduction I knew it is considered invalid (da'eef) by all of the hadith scholars. As regarding the ahadith which there is difference between the scholars about its invalidity, I might use it or leave it based on whether it agrees or not with the sound and good ahadith. I have reached to the provisions of this book through personal deduction, and did not take them from the deduction of other mujtahideen. They are rather independent of their work, but they could match with their views or differ a little or a lot.

Life greets us in different ways each day: We experience joy, confusion, doubt and grief. We walk through seasons of loneliness and times of closeness with God, family and friends. Each event, the birth of a new baby, the death of a loved one, the sound of a familiar melody, can be an occasion for prayer. In A Book of Simple Prayers, beloved songwriter Gloria Gaither shares the prayers she has prayed in moments like these. At times questioning, playful, trusting or anxious, this collection of Gloria's prayer poetry is a medley of honest and open-hearted conversation with God. With her renowned mastery of language and matchless instinct for just the right turn of phrase, she invites us to pray along with her, expressing our hopes and heartaches to the God who listens.
