H. E. Sayyed Muhmmad Hussein Fadlallah explains the profound spiritual function of the five daily prayers. He compares prayers to a belt that is tightened regularly to keep one from sin, with each prayer serving as a reminder and a reinforcement of one's commitment to Allah. He emphasizes that prayers cancel past misdeeds because they are a form of repentance, which requires genuine remorse and a firm decision not to repeat the sins.
