Believers should never forget Allah, and should always turn to Him in their thoughts and deeds. Prayer is not merely sending one's wishes to God; believers should also express gratitude to Him for His blessings. Prayer is an essential part of connecting with Allah and is a way for believers to call upon Him in times of hardship and stress. It is a way of acknowledging one's weaknesses and limited power before Allah's infinite might and asking for help. It also serves as a reminder of Allah's existence, greatness, and might.
Those who understand prayer recognize that Allah is always listening and responding to one's sincere prayers and requests. The Qur'an emphasizes that it is an easy way to reach God and that He is always near and responsive to those who call on Him. Prayer is not an obsolete tradition, but rather serves as a reminder of Allah's presence and of one's place as His servant, and can bring a sense of relief and security to the believer. Prayer is an important spiritual practice for believers of Allah, and it does not need to be accompanied by any particular ritual or ceremony. It is instead a sincere act of submission and remembrance of Allah's existence.
Superstitious practices, such as fastening clothes to trees or blowing into water, are seen as an opposite of the Qur'anic rationale and are misguided attempts to ask for help from unknown sources. Visiting tombs should instead be done to remember death and the power of Allah. Ultimately, it is important to remember Allah's command to “Remember the Name of your Lord, and devote yourself to Him completely” and to turn to Him alone in prayer.
