💡 Explanation: Between one prayer and the next, small sins and mistakes can happen. The next prayer wipes them away, like the river example in this chapter. So no matter how the day has gone, the next prayer is a fresh start — never let one bad part of the day stop you from praying.
💡 Remember:
Between one prayer and the next, small sins and mistakes can happen.
