Can We Talk/Pray To Allah Directly 1on1?
If we believe in the hai, then he is alive and connected, and if we believe he is sami, then he hears us as well, infact if we believe that we are directly guidable, then the direct connection is what needs to be established. If you look at the iqaam as Salah, and ponder on the meaning of iqaam, from the surah e kahf, where Moosa does the iqaam of the jidar that was falling down, the meaning of iqaam becomes clear, i.e. restoration, as Moosa restores or rectifies the wall that was falling down. Now if you rectify or iqaam your Salah, which in Arabic means connection, then you are restoring your lost connection to Allah when you iqaam your Salah.
