Abstract

This article discusses one of the ritual actions among Muslims, namely Shalat or Prayer. The meaning of Shalat based on Islamic law is some words and deeds that begin with takbir and end with greetings, Muslims worship Allah SWT or God of the Universe according to predetermined conditions. The meaning of movement and speech in Shalat needs to be researched to socialize the benefits of prayer so that the faith of Muslims is getting stronger and stronger. The method used in this research is semiotics, a scientific study that is oriented towards signs, signifier, and signified. The discussion on the object of study is carried out through the representation of the sign or representation in terms of the object (denotatum), namely the analysis of the performance of the prayer ritual by using the concepts of icons, indexes, and symbols in it. This study found the fact that spiritual rituals, Shalat is a kind of ritual where various types of worship activities are gathered both outwardly and inwardly. The combination of physical movements with tuam’ninah (slowly), poetic utterances that are sung softly and whispered in the heart with full tawajjuh (heartfelt supplication facing) to God has an impact on physical health, mental health, and spiritual health.
