And following it is what the people of the exoteric (Ahl al-Zahir) have reported in lexicons and other linguistic books of clarifying what they claim to be intended by the name of the obligatory prayer (al-Salah al-Mafrudah) in the revealed books, and what the people of monotheism (Ahl al-Tawhid) say regarding His Almighty's intent by its name in the revealed books, which is:

Know that the name of prayer according to the people of the exoteric is applied to supplication, glorification, and seeking forgiveness.

As for the people of the esoteric (Ahl al-Batin), as our Great Master—may God sanctify his soul—interpreted it in the treatise Batin al-Salah (The Esoteric of Prayer), it is the humility of the Veil (al-Hijab) before its Eternal Creator.

He also established in his treatise that prayer is through the person of [the letter] Meem, due to His Almighty’s saying: {Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of God is greater.} (Al-Ankabut: 45).
