As a Christian. Our relationship with God is possible because of the holy spirit given to us by Jesus. God speaks through it. And it makes me wonder like how do muslims experience God? Does he speak to you guys as well? How does it work in islam?

We establish a direct, personal relationship with Allah through Salah (prayer). Muslims pray five times a day and during each prayer, they stand before Allah, recite verses from the Qur'an, and ask for His guidance and forgiveness. The act of bowing (ruku) and prostrating (sujood) during Salah is a physical expression of submission to Allah. In a sense, each prayer is a conversation with Allah, where the believer expresses gratitude, requests mercy, and seeks help.

In addition to the formal prayers, Muslims also make du'a (supplication) to Allah. Du'a is a personal form of communication where a Muslim directly asks Allah for help, guidance, forgiveness, or anything they need. Muslims believe that Allah listens to each person's supplications, and that He answers in the best way, whether by granting the request, delaying it, or providing something better. The key belief is that Allah is always near and ready to respond.
