The more a person connects with their prayer, the more they connect with the concept of sacrificing for the sake of Allah ﷻ. It’s not just about ‘sacrificial animals’ in a literal sense, but also a figurative one. What is your ‘Ismail?’ Wrestle with it; struggle with it for Allah ﷻ; and let prayer be the fuel for that fire of motivation. The struggle is real for everyone; may Allah ﷻ help us to battle our lower selves.
