Human being is a combination of body and divine soul, and as body needs daily nutrition, soul needs it too – in a form of prayer and supplication. Spirituality and connection to the source of this soul which is God, the Almighty is the main goal of prayer. This concept is mentioned in almost all divine religions, including Islam and other Abrahamic religions. In the Qur’an, the divine scripture of Muslims human being is called the vicegerent of God on earth (Q 38:72). This clearly demonstrates the divine soul in human beings, and to feed this soul, man needs daily prayers. This article elaborates on the importance of prayer in Ši?a denomination as the second largest denomination in Islam and also sheds light on different types of prayer, definitions and the main outcomes of prayer in daily life. The research is based on exploratory and descriptive approach based on library studies.
