Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the many faxes we have received regarding this program and this good life. This Dr. Khalid ibn Salih Muhammad ibn Jahjar is sharing with us and says: Among the greatest causes for achieving a good life is the remembrance of Allah, of which the Shaykh mentioned a number. But among them is prayer, for it expands the chest, guiding the servant to repentance and seeking forgiveness. So a good life is not achieved except by returning to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and by maintaining the five prayers at their times.
Answer:
We mentioned this in our speech or in our comment on the interjection that came just before this. So we said that prayer contains two great benefits in the remembrance of Allah. The first benefit is that it forbids from shameful deeds and wrong. The second benefit is that the remembrance of Allah is greater, for it is the remembrance of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and this is what expands the chest[Ar-Ra'd 13:28]. Yes.

Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured."
الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ
