Prayer worship in sûfî sources

Prayer is the main pillar and pillar of the religion of Islam. It is one of the most important acts of worship that brings the servant closer to Allâh, realizes reconciliation, and earns Allâh's approval. Every prophet who was the addressee of the divine order was held responsible for prayer. The prophets, who are held responsible, guided their ummahs by performing the prayers themselves. The last prophet Hz. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) showed great sensitivity to prayer with the order he received from the Qur'an. He declared that closeness to Allâh can only be achieved through this worship. As in all worship, prayer has conditions, both external and internal. While the fuqaha brought the exoteric conditions to the agenda, the esoteric conditions were mostly brought up by the Sûfîs. According to Sûfîs, esoteric conditions are important as well as esoteric conditions. Due to this importance, Sûfîs emphasize some concepts such as intention, sincerity, huşû, ru'yetullah, cem', sincerity, bestowal. In our study, it has been tried to present the views and thoughts of the Sûfîs on prayer, as well as to give the approaches, views and thoughts of the fuqaha on prayer in general.
