Education Program Regarding the Impact of Prayer on Physical and Mental Health for Children in Gampong Reuleut Timur

Abstract

Prayer is an obligation that must be carried out by Muslims. Solat literally means prayer. In terms of prayer, prayer is an action performed starting from takbiratul ihram and ending with greetings in which there are prayer readings performed in accordance with religious regulations. The data collection method used is library research. In this library research study, the research is qualitative because the data description is descriptive. Prayer is said to be prayer because the movements of prayer all contain the meaning of prayer shown to Allah SWT. All prayer readings are a form of glorifying a servant to his God. These series of sayings and movements are not just words and movements without meaning or significance, but each one contains history, philosophy, faith, goals and a lot of wisdom for the person who performs it. Apart from the obligatory worship, prayer also has many benefits, one of which is psychological or mental health. The psychological aspect itself is a feeling that arises from within our heart or soul. From a psychological aspect, one of the benefits obtained is peace of mind. Prayer makes our souls more calm and peaceful. Apart from that, prayer can also reduce excessive stress. Prayer makes a Muslim feel calmer in heart, clean in spirit, and balanced in soul.
