Even though young children do not yet have to pray (though many join in!) the spirit and inner life of prayer can be taught from now - by word, story and the example of parents and teachers. What Imam al-Ghazali explains about the essential internal conditions necessary for true prayer are in fact necessary during every moment of daily life for all people of any age. And in one sense we can say that our lives are prayers. Our daily lives must be permeated with reverence, humility, good intentions, understanding, veneration, hope, and shame, the Heart's presence and sincerity. These elements are what Imam al-Ghazali discusses in his Mysteries of Prayer.
