"Spiritual health has to do with the qalb (spiritual heart) of a person. If I showed up to you with a blood test, and all the results are abnormal, you would think it was a very serious matter. Same with spiritual health. First things first. Fix your salah! Salah is the daily check. Prayer is when the lover is talking to the Beloved. Can a lover say that when I am alone with my beloved, and talking with my beloved, I feel no love at all?
If someone says they can't taste sweet flavour, no matter how much sweet you give them, that means that they are ill. So when your Salah is blank, is that not a matter of utmost concern?
Why don't we pray a goal oriented prayer? The goal of salah is to love, remember Allah. Salah is a test of our spiritual health."
(Shaykh Mufti Kamaluddin Ahmed, lecture "Physical and spiritual health").
