Ego by Iqbal 3 - Ego's Escape From Mechanism To Freedom
'If ye do well to your own behoof will ye do well: and if ye do evil against yourselves will ye do it.'
(Kehf : 18:29)
Islam recognizes a very important fact of human psychology: the rise and fall of the power to act freely, and is anxious to retain the power to act freely as a constant and undiminished factor in the life of the ego. The timing of the daily prayer which, according to the Qur'an, restores 'self possession' to the ego by bringing it into closer touch with the ultimate source of life and freedom, is intended to save the ego from the mechanizing effects of sleep and business. Prayer in Islam is the ego's escaper from mechanism to freedom.
