All about Salat-Salah Islamic prayer

Bismillahi ARRAHMANI ARRAHIM wa salla ALLAHU ala Rassoulihi al-karim wa ala aalihi wa sahbihi wa sallam


[Quran 13:40] Your ONLY mission (O Muhammad) is to deliver (Quran), while it is we who will call them to account.

[Quran 42:48] You (O Muhammad) have no duty EXCEPT delivering (Quran).

[Quran 5:99] The messenger has no function EXCEPT delivering (Quran)




We’ll talking insha ALLAH in this post about the second pillar of Islam which is “Salah” Islamic prayer ; then what is Salah meaning? Salah, also spelled Salat, Arabic Salāt, the daily ritual prayer enjoined upon all muslims as one of the five Pillars of Islam (arkān al-Islām). There is disagreement among Islamic scholars as to whether some passages about prayer in the Muslim sacred scripture, the Qurʾān, are actually references to the Salat. Within Muhammad’s lifetime, five obligatory prayers, each preceded by ablution, were observed: Salāt al-fajr (dawn), al-ẓuhr (midday), al-ʿaṣr (afternoon), al-maghrib (sunset), and al-ʿishāʾ (evening). Under such special circumstances as illness, a journey, or war, a modification or limited postponement of these Salats is allowed



Though individual performance of Salat is permissible and can be offered in any clean space at home or at work, collective worship in the mosque has special merit. With their faces turned in the direction of the shrine of the Kaʿbah in Mecca, the worshipers align themselves in parallel rows behind the imam, or prayer leader, who directs them as they execute the rakʿahs (physical postures coupled with Qurʾānic recitations).On Fridays, instead of the prayer just after noon, a congregational prayer (Salāt al-jumʿah) is offered; it includes two sermons (khutbah) delivered from the pulpit. Special congregational prayers are offered in the middle of the morning on the two festival days (ʿīds), one immediately following the month of fasting, Ramadan, and the other following the pilgrimage, or hajj. Although not obligatory, individual devotional prayers, especially during the night, are emphasized and are a common practice among pious Muslims

In Islam there are deffirents times of performing Salah: daily: are the five prayers Assubuh- Adhuhr- Al-âsr- Al-Maghrib- Al-Îsha .  Weekly: Salatu al-Jumuâa. Yearly: Salatu Al-Âïd (Âïd Al-Fitr the first day After Ramadan and Salatu Âïd al-Adha in Ten Dul’Hijjah and there are other Slawat prayers like Salatu al-Kussuf during Solar Eclipse…etc


 

And Salah are three types ; “Fard”: Of the fard category are the five daily prayers, as well as the Friday prayer (Salat al-Jumu'ah), while the Eid prayers and Witr are of the wajib category. ... Fard prayers (as with all fard actions) are further classed as either fard al-ayn (obligation of the self) and fard al-kifayah (obligation of sufficiency / “Sunnah Muâkkadah”: Sunnah muakkadah refers to any voluntary act of worship (such as the Eid prayer, or the two rakat Alfajr before Salatu al-subuh prayer and al-witer …) which the Prophet continuously performed and almost never abandoned. These are not obligatory, but a person who abandons them is considered blameworthy / “Mustahabb” :  Mustahabb or recommended, in terms of jurisprudence, are such actions which are not obligatory or forbidden, but doing them is better than leaving because they lead to pleasing the God. there are lots of recommended Prayers  in Islam like: Night prayer, Salatu ad’duha after sunrise… etc


Before talking about performing salah we should know first that every salat in Islam do have conditions to be accepted and do have fard and sunnah acts which means obligatory and non-obligatory acts of prayer

The conditions of Salah

 Al-Islaam (Salah is only accepted from a Muslim

 Al-‘aql (Sanity. The insane is not held accountable for his/her actions

Al-tamyeez (puberty

 State of purity (having wudu or taking a ghusl to remove ritual impurity

 Removal of filth (clothing should be free from impurities and also place of worship 

Covering the awrah

 Commencement of time The salah must be prayed in its proper time and not a minute before

 Facing the direction of the qiblah

An-niyah (the intention for the prayer being prayed should be present

 Be clean after menstrual blood or after birth blood for women

Conditions are prerequisites for the salah. A person is not excused from them regardless if he was ignorant of its obligation, or if he forgot, or if he deliberately left it



 

These are the fardhs that one must fulfill during the performance of a prayer. Those pillars are also called “Rukn of Salah.”

Opening Takbir (Takbir al-Iftitah): To say “Allahu Akbar” when starting a prayer

 The Standing (Al-Qiyam): To stand for a while when praying

 The Recitation (Al-Qira’ah): To recite al least three short verses from the Noble Quran when standing during a prayer

 Bowing (Al-Ruku): To bow down in such a manner that the hands are placed upon the knees after the completion of the recitation of the Noble Quran

 Prostration (Al-Sajdah): To place on the ground the forehead, the nose, hands, feet, and knees after having risen from the bowing al-Ruku

 Final Sitting (Qa’da al-Akhirah): To sit at the last rakah of the prayer for as long as one can recite the supplication called “Attahiyyatu.” Muslim, Salat 215

  

How to Perform Salah 

Now that our wudu has been properly made we can proceed and begin to pray salah. Here are the steps of the salah

Standing

Takbiratu al-Ihram; saying ALLAHU Akbar

Fatihah – Recitation

Ruku – Bowing

Sujud – Prostration

Tashahud – Sitting

To understand the steps of the salah it is important to understand that the prayer is made up of rakah, or units of prayer. Every rakah has the same basic steps within it.

There will be a part when you are standing

A part when you recite from the Quran

A part when you bow down

A part where you prostrate make sujud

Depending on which prayer you are performing there will be slight differences in how these rakah are performed. Here is a summary of how each of the five daily prayers differ from one another

Fajr Assubh – has two rakah, or two units

Dhur – has four rakah

Asr – has four rakah

Maghrib – has three rakah

Isha – has four rakah

Fajr  Salat Assubh 


We perform Dhuhr and Assr with the same way


Salat Al-Maghrib



Salat Al-Isha
