It is an expression of our association with the creator. Being His creation, we need a way to associate with Him ( both psychologically and emotionally ) whether the times are good or not. Sometimes to stay steadfast on the right path ( to ask for patience and help ) and other times as a token of gratitude. Irrespective of the fact the times are good or not, we need a direct way to associate with the creator, and a way to do that is Salah, as taught by the creator Himself through his prophets.
But than it has to be in my native language. Because when i say something in Arabic my subconscious mind doesn’t get an image or feeling about what i say. While when i say something in my native language i can literally feel. I hope you understand what i am saying. Why is language so important? Why is Arabic so important?
All the prayers ( dua ) in Salah can be said in one’s native language except for Quran in Qiyam; as Quran is Arabic and no translation can replace it as being Quran. https://youtu.be/Fyg0rIjimhI
