We continue the story about performing prayer for beginners. In this article, with the permission of Allah, we will talk about how to perform prayer for a beginner, what violates prayer, and we will answer common questions about prayer
Each prayer consists of a certain amount rak'ats– a set of actions that include reading certain surahs of the Koran while standing, making one bow from the waist (ruku) and two bows to the ground (sajdah).
Morning prayer ( Fajr) consists of two rak'ahs,
lunch ( zuhr) - from four,
afternoon ( asr) also from four,
evening prayer Maghrib- from three,
and night prayer isha- from four.
However, in addition to the obligatory part (fard), each prayer also includes a certain number of desirable prayers (sunnat), which are not necessary to perform, however, a reward is also promised for their performance. Beginners, of course, should first accustom themselves to regularly performing the obligatory part of the five prayers, but then they should try to perform sunnat prayers in addition to the main ones.
Also, scholars of the Hanafi madhhab consider it obligatory ( wajib) performing namaz vitr, consisting of three rak'ahs which is performed after the night Isha prayer.
After you have performed ablution and closed the aura, stand on the prayer mat (if you do not have one yet, you can use a clean towel or sheet for this purpose), facing the qibla, and express the intention in your heart ( niyat) perform prayer. During the intention, you need to name the prayer that you are going to perform (obligatory or desirable and its name is Fajr, Zuhr, Asr).
The intention is pronounced mentally, approximately in the following words: “I intend to perform fard (obligatory part) of this morning for the sake of Allah.(For example) Fajr prayer(or name the prayer you are going to perform).
Note: the intention to perform namaz must be pronounced mentally, but the introductory takbir, surahs of the Koran and the necessary duas are pronounced out loud(not necessarily loudly, you can whisper, but so that you can hear yourself, moving your lips and tongue).
1. After expressing your intention, raise your hands with your palms facing outward towards your shoulders and say (out loud!) the phrase “Allahu Akbar!” (this is the so-called introductory takbir) (as shown in the picture). When raising your hands, make sure that your sleeves do not fall down and the aura does not open - this can ruin your prayer!
2. Then fold your hands on your chest (right over left) and read Surah Al-Fatiha
Surah Fatihah (Opening)(approximate transliteration and translation):
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
[Bismillahi r-rahmani r-rahim]
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful
الحمد لله رب العالمين
[Al-hamdu lillahirabbil-alamin]
Glory to Allah, Lord of all worlds
الرحمن الرحيم
[ar-rahmanir-rahim]
The Gracious, the Merciful
مالك يوم الدين
[maliki yaumid-din]
Lord of the Day of Judgment
إياك نعبد
[iyyakya nabudu]
We worship you alone
و إياك نستعين
[ua iyyakya nastayyin]
and to You alone we cry for help
اهدنى الصراط المستقيم
[ikhdinas-syratal-mustaqiyim]
Guide us on the righteous path
صراط الذين أنعمت عليهم
[sypatallazina an'amta aleikhim]
the path of those whom You have bestowed with Your blessings
غير المغضوب عليهم
[gairil-magdubi aleihim]
those who have not incurred Your disfavor
و لا الضآلين
[wa yad-doooollin (Amin)]
and those who have not fallen into error. (Amen)
(as mentioned above, for the first time you can limit yourself to pronouncing the phrases “Bismillah”, Alhamdulillah” “La ilaha illallah”).
While reciting surahs, the gaze is directed to the intended place of prostration.
3. With the words “Allahu Akbar” pronounced make a bow – ruku’. Women do not bow as deeply as men. The gaze is directed to the toes; the hands lie on the knees without clasping them.
4. After performing the hand, straighten up again to a standing position.
5. With the words “Allahu Akbar” bow to the ground (sajdah). To perform it, they first kneel down, then lean on their hands and then touch the surface of the earth with their nose and forehead. The toes (at least two fingers) should touch the ground, the elbows touch the floor and press against the body, and the stomach should be pressed against the thighs.
6. With the words “Allahu Akbar,” rise to a sitting position for a short period of time, which is sufficient to pronounce the phrase “Subhanallah.” Then say “Allahu Akbar” again and make a second prostration.
Here The first rak'ah of prayer ends.
7. With the words “Allahu Akbar”, rise to a vertical position for the second rak’ah of prayer and fold your hands on your chest as described above.
2nd rak'ah:
8. First, as in the first rak'ah, read Surah Al-Fatihah (or say the words of dhikr - remembrance of Allah). Usually in the second rak'ah they also say some kind of short surah, but a beginner can limit himself to only one surah Al-Fatiha. Then perform ruku' and sajdah as described above.
9. After making two prostrations, sit on your feet (as shown in the picture), your hands are on your knees, both legs are shifted to the right side. You should sit not on your left leg, but on the floor. In this position, the dua Attahiyat is pronounced.
Approximate transliteration and translation:
التحيات لله و الصلوات و الطيبات
[At-tahiyyatu lillahi was-salayatu uat-tayyibat]
Salutations to Allah, prayers and good deeds.
السلام عليك أيها النبي و رحمة الله و بركاته
[As-salamu alaikya ayyuhan-nabiyyu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatukh]
Peace be upon you, O Prophet, the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
السلام علينا و على عباد الله الصالحين
[As-salamu alaina wa ala ibadillahis-salihin]
Peace be upon us and the true servants of Allah.
أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله و أشهد أن محمدا عبده و رسوله
[Ashhadu alla ilaha illallah wa ashhadu anna muhammadan abduhu wa rasulyukh]
I testify that there is no god but Allah
and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.
Attention! When pronouncing the words “La Illaha”, you need to raise the index finger of your right hand, and while pronouncing the words “Illa Allah”, lower it.
11. If you perform morning prayer (fajr) after pronouncing the dua At-Tahiyat, the greeting (taslim) is pronounced at the end of the prayer. With the words “Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah,” turn your head towards your right shoulder, and then - with the same words - towards your left.
If you perform a prayer consisting of more than two rak'ahs, then after pronouncing the dua At-Tahiyat (without saying the greeting of the end of the prayer!) you need to rise to a standing position and perform one more (if you are performing the Maghrib prayer) or two more rak'ahs (if you are performing the Zuhr, Asr, Isha prayers). After completing the last (third or fourth rak'ah), sit down again and say the dua At-Tahiyat again, then say the greeting “Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah!”, turning your head first to the right shoulder, then to the left.
After performing the prayer, you can turn to Allah with your personal requests (in any language, not necessarily Arabic).
Note:
In the third and fourth rak'ahs of the obligatory prayer after reading Surah Fatiha, there is no need to read the second sura. If you perform a sunnat prayer consisting of four rak'ahs, then the second surah is pronounced in the third and fourth rak'ahs.
Witr prayer
As mentioned above, Hanafi scholars consider it obligatory to perform Witr prayer: the prayer performed after the night Isha prayer and before the time of Fajr prayer. Witr prayer consists of three rak'ahs. Before committing it, the intention is pronounced approximately as follows: “I intend to perform Witr prayer for the sake of Allah”- it is not indicated whether this is a sunnat or a fard prayer, since there is disagreement among scholars on this issue. In the third rak'ah of this prayer, after reading Surah Al-Fatiha, you need to read a short surah, then say “Allahu Akbar”, raise your hands in the same way as for the opening takbir, then fold them on your chest and say the dua Qunut:
Approximate transliteration:
“Allaahumma Inna Nepaiinuka wa Nakachiaka wa Nakfruk, wa Netuub Ilyaika, wa no’min bikya va Natavakkyal‘ alyaki, wa nusani ‘alyaikal-haira kullyakh, wa yaskurukoya va okfuruku, wa wa-a-alain waverku manuan. Allahumma iyakya na'budu wa lyakya nusalli wa nasjudu, wa ilaikya nas'a va nakhfid, wa narjuu rahmatakya wa nakhshaa 'azaabak, inna 'azaabakya bil-kuffaari mulhik.'
“O Allah! We appeal to Your help, ask to lead us along the right path, ask You for forgiveness and repent. We believe and rely on You. We praise You in the best possible way. We thank You and do not deny You. We reject and leave (leave) all those who commit lawlessness. Oh Lord! We worship You alone, we pray and bow to the ground before You. We strive and direct ourselves towards You. We hope for Your mercy and fear Your punishment. Verily, Your punishment befalls the atheists!”
If a person has not yet learned the dua Qunut, you can say the following dua:
“Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan, wa fil-aakhyrati hasanatan wa kynaa ‘azaaban-naar.”
“Our Lord! Give us good things in this life and in the future, protect us from the torments of Hell.”
What actions violate prayer?
1. During prayer you cannot talk, laugh - moreover, loud laughter(that people standing nearby can hear it) - violates not only prayer, but also ablution. However, smiling (without sound) does not violate the prayer.
2. You cannot make any sounds or sigh. Sneezing or coughing does not break the prayer.
3. You cannot cry for worldly reasons (crying out of fear of Allah is allowed).
4. You cannot perform multiple small actions unnecessarily (adjusting clothes, scratching). Minor actions done for a good reason are forgiven, but care must be taken to keep them to a minimum.
Superfluous actions are defined, according to the strongest opinion, as actions which, if seen at a distance by an observer who does not know that you are praying, would completely convince him that you are NOT praying. If you have doubts, then this is not an unnecessary action - and it does not violate the prayer. Generally, three continuous major actions are considered superfluous (based on Ibn Abidin's Radd al-Mukhtar).
5. A man and a woman cannot perform namaz while standing in the same row (there must be some distance or barrier).
Frequently asked questions about prayer:
Is it possible to perform prayer using a piece of paper or a book? Beginners often perform namaz by looking at a book or piece of paper with a hint. This should be avoided, because in this case it turns out that you are performing many unnecessary actions that make your prayer invalid.
Is it possible to pray during Haida or Nifas? - No, a woman does not perform prayer during menstruation (haid) and postpartum bleeding (nifas). If she does perform namaz at this time, she falls into sin. For the validity of worship, it is very important to learn to correctly determine the beginning and end of the haida - because if you start praying before your period has ended, such prayers will not be valid, and vice versa, if you do not pray when your period has already ended, it will turn out that you miss prayers without a valid reason. In both cases, you will have to make up for missed prayers later. You can read about Haida here The prayers missed during this time (Haida and Nifasa) do not need to be made up.
Do I need to make up for missed prayers?- Missed prayers - for any reason (except those missed due to menstruation and postpartum bleeding) - must be made up! So if you overslept the morning prayer or were unable to pray at work or school, you definitely need to make up for these prayers later.
If a person did not begin to pray when he came of age(in particular, a woman - not from the moment when her period began), but more mature age, is it necessary to make up for these prayers? – Yes, such prayers must be completed.
How to pray at work or school?– People often say that they are unable to pray at work or at school. These reasons are not considered valid - you should make every effort to find a time and place for prayer.
What if my parents do not allow me to perform namaz?– Unless there is direct violence against you (for example, you are not threatened with death or serious injury - and you must be confident that the threat will actually be carried out!), and this is unlikely in the case of loved ones, you should begin to pray, despite their dissatisfaction. Your family is not at home all day, they are not watching your every move - so choose a time when you are not being paid attention to, find a quiet place in the house and pray. Be patient and firm in your decision - inshaAllah, over time, your family will come to terms with your choice and will even respect you for your strength of character.
Is it possible for women to read namaz in a separate women's jamaat?(not behind a male imam, but choose some knowledgeable sister and perform prayer behind her). Hanafi scholars consider such an action to be makrooh tahrimi (close to forbidden), so one should refrain from this (although the scholars of the Shafi'i madhhab allow this).
Women sometimes ask: Is it possible to pray with a child in your arms? or what to do if, during prayer, a child climbs onto the mother’s back or into her arms (or touches her): In this article you can read a detailed explanation of this issue “Prayer with a child in your arms”
Muslima (Anya) Kobulova
Based on materials from the Darul-Fikr website
The intention to pray must come from the heart. Before starting prayer, you need to realize and understand this intention. It is not necessary to say something out loud, the intention must come from the heart.
- You can think about how many rakats you are going to offer and for what purpose. Whatever it is, the prayer must be sincere.
Raise your hands to ear level and say in a calm tone, “Allah is Akbar” (الله أَكْبَر).“Women should raise their arms to shoulder level, palms up. This means “Allah is great.” This is done while standing.
Place your right hand on your navel on top of your left (women should place their hands on their chest), eyes focused on the place where you stand. Don't look around.
- Read Istefta Dua:
subhanakal-lahumma
wabihamdika vatabarakas-muka vataaaala
Judduka wala ilaha gairuk.
Aaudu billaahi meenash-shaitaanr rajim.
bis-millahir rahmaanir rahim. - Next, read Surah Al-Fatihah (the first surah of the Quran), this surah is read during every rak'ah:
Bismillahi-r-Rahmani-r-Rahim (In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious for everyone in this world and only for believers in the Hereafter)
Alhamdulillahi rabbil "alamin (Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds)
Ar-Rahmani-r-Rahim (To the All-Merciful and Most Merciful)
Maliki Yaumiddin (To the King on the Day of Judgment!)
Iyyaka na'budu wa iyyaka nasta'in (We worship You and ask You to help!)
Ikhdina ssyratal mustak’yim (Lead us along the straight road)
Syratal lyaziina an'amta "alaihim, gairil magdubi alaihim va lyadolin. (on the road of those whom You have blessed, not those who are under anger, and not those who are lost).
Get on your knees. When standing up, say “Allah is Akbar.” Bend over so that your back and neck are straight and parallel to the ground, looking at the ground. This position is called "ruku".
- Bending properly, say “Subhanna -rabbeyal - azzem - wal - Bi - haamdi” (“May Allah hear the one who praised him”), these words are pronounced three times or more, the number of repetitions should be odd.
Raise your hands. As you rise, bring your hands to your ears and read “Samey - Allahu - leman - hameda.” (“Allah will hear those who offer their prayers to Him.”)
- As you say these words, lower your hands.
Lower yourself and bow to the ground (sujut), lowering yourself and saying “Allah - Akbar.”
- Once in position, say “Subhanna - Rabbeyal - Allah - wal - bi - haamdee” three or more times, the number of repetitions should be even.
Rise from Sujut and sit on your heels (Jilsa). Place your hands on your knees. Say "Rabig - Figr - Ni, Vaar - haam - nee, Vazh - bur - ni, Vaar - faa - ni, Vaar zug - ni, Vah - dee - nee, Vaa, aafee - ni, Vaa - fuu - anni." (Oh Allah, forgive me).
- Return to the sujut position and say “subhanna - rabbeyal - Allah - wal - Bi - haamdee” three times or more, the number of repetitions is even.
Rise from Sujut. Stand up and say, "Allah is Akbar." You have performed one rakkat. Depending on the time of day, you need to perform up to three rakkat.
- In every second rakkat after the second sujut, kneel down and read “Atta - hiyatul - Muba - rakatush - shola - waa - tuth thaa - yi - batu - lillaah, Assa - laamu - alaika - ayyuhan - nabiyuu varan - matullaahi - wabba - rakatuh , Assaa - laamu - alayna - wa alaa - ibaadil - laahich - sho - le - hin. - ala - aali - Muhammad" ("Greetings to Allah, prayers and best words, peace to you, O Prophet, and the Mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and the pious servants of Allah. I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I testify, that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger."
- This is called "tashshahud".
End your prayers with as-salaam. After tashshahud, pray to Allah and end as follows:
- Turn your head to the right and say the words “As Salam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu.” On the right is an angel who keeps track of all good deeds.
- Turn your head to the left and say "As Salam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu." On the left is an angel recording bad deeds. Prayers completed!
Performing namaz is one of the obligatory pillars of the Islamic religion. It must be followed by every true believer. Prayer frees the mind, calms the soul and purifies the consciousness. Namaz is a five-fold prayer that helps Muslims turn to God and cope with difficult situations. But in order to read namaz correctly, it is necessary to follow certain rules and perform namaz at certain times of the day and night.
Times and names of prayers
Each prayer includes several rak'ahs, sequences of actions. They consist of reading certain surahs of the Koran in a standing position and two types of bows: to the waist and to the ground.
- Morning prayer is called Fajr and consists of 2 rak'ahs. It is performed from the moment the first signs of dawn appear until the final sunrise. The prayer stops as soon as the sun completely leaves the horizon.
- Lunch – Zuhr – 4 rakats. Starts a couple of minutes after noon.
- Afternoon - Asr - 4 rak'ahs. It takes place a few hours before sunset. It is fundamentally necessary to finish praying before the sun begins to disappear below the horizon.
- Evening - Maghrib - 3 rak'ahs. It is performed immediately after the sun has set, but before the evening glow has disappeared.
- Night – Isha – 4 rak’ahs. Done late in the evening. The time for prayer is until dawn. However, it is better not to delay and perform the prayer on time.
In addition to the basic actions, there are desirable prayers for which Allah will reward believers. For beginners, of course, to begin with, it is enough to learn the main part of the ritual and get used to a regular schedule of five times prayer. But after this becomes a habit, it is advisable to add the rest of the sunnat prayers.
Preparation for prayer
Before you start praying, you need to:
- Cleanse the body: perform small ablution, wudu. If necessary, the believer must make ghusl.
- Wear clean and neat clothing: Muslim women must cover their awrah, but they may not cover their face, feet or hands. In this case, the hair should be hidden under clothing. Men do not need to cover their heads.
- Observe the timing of a particular prayer.
- Turn towards the qibla, the shrine of the Kaaba, which is located in Saudi Arabia, Mecca.
- Lay down a prayer mat, a clean towel or sheet.
- Get into a pose. Women should stand straight, legs together, and arms along the body. Men should place their feet shoulder-width apart, lower their arms freely, and look down in front of them.
- Mentally express the intention in your heart to read the prayer. Every Muslim must begin such an important task with sincerity and respect and approach with full responsibility the intention of performing prayer for the pleasure of the Almighty God.
Once all of the above points have been completed, the believer can begin prayer.
How to read namaz correctly
If the intention is pronounced silently, then everything else - the introductory takbir, dua, suras of the Koran - is spoken out loud. Not necessarily in a full voice, perhaps in a whisper, because the situation is not always conducive to complete unity.
- From the position in which you are standing, raise your palms to your shoulders and say out loud the expression “Allahu Akbar!” This will be the opening takbir. Watch the aura: the sleeves should not fall down. Otherwise, the prayer will not be performed.
- Cross your arms at chest level. Place your right palm on top. Read Surah Al-Fatihah.
- Bow at the waist. Remember, men should bow lower than women and look down at their feet. Place your hands on your knees, but do not clasp them.
- Return to the starting position.
- Make a prostration and simultaneously say the phrase “Allahu Akbar.” To do this, kneel down, then lean on your palms and elbows and touch the ground with your nose and forehead. As you do this, press your toes into the ground.
- With the same words, go to a sitting position and say the phrase “Subhanallah.”
- Prostrate again and at the same time say the phrase “Allahu Akbar.”
- Return to the starting position to make the second rak'ah.
- Start, as at the very beginning, by reading Surah Al-Fahita. You can choose the words of dhikr, read some small surah.
- Now bow to the waist and to the ground, as you did during the first rak'ah.
- Sit on your feet so that your palms are on your knees and both legs are turned to the right side. This way you will sit not on your feet, but on the floor. In this position, recite the dua Attahiyat. Afterwards, if you are performing Fajr prayer, say the end of the prayer.
If you are reading a prayer that consists of three or four rakats, then after the dua, change your position: get up, stand straight and do the next rakats. Then Muslims can turn to Allah Almighty in free form in any language with prayers and requests for personal matters. The Lord will definitely hear you after prayer and help you.
How women perform namaz
Namaz is an order of Allah Almighty. The Holy Qur'an reminds us of the obligatory nature of prayer more than a hundred times. The Koran and Hadith-i Sharifs say that prayer is obligatory for Muslims who have intelligence and have reached maturity. 17th and 18th verses of sura " Room» « Praise God evening and morning. Praise be to Him in heaven and on earth, at nightfall and at noon" Surah " Bakara"Verse 239" Perform holy prayers, middle prayers"(i.e. do not interrupt prayers). The tafsirs of the Koran say that the verses that talk about remembrance and praise are reminiscent of prayers. In verse 114 of Surah “ Hood“It says: “Perform prayer at the beginning and end of the day and at nightfall, because good deeds drive away evil ones. This is a reminder for those who reflect."
Our Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wassalam) said: “Allah Almighty has made the daily five-fold prayer a fard for his slaves. For correctly performing ablution, ruku (bow), and sajdah (bow), during prayer, Allah Almighty gives forgiveness and bestows enlightenment.”
Five daily prayers include 40 rak'ahs. 17 of them are in the farz category. 3 wajibs. 20 rak'ahs of sunnat.
1-Morning prayer: (Salat-ul Fajr) 4 rak'ahs. The first 2 rak'ahs are sunnah. Then 2 rakats of farz. 2 rak'ahs of the sunnah of morning prayer are very important. There are scholars who say that they are Wajib.
2-Noon prayer. (Salat-ul-zuhr) Consists of 10 rak'ahs. First, 4 rakats of the first sunnah are performed, then 4 rakats of farz, and 2 rakats of sunnah.
3-Pre-evening prayer (Ikindi, salat-ul-Asr). Only 8 rak'ahs. First, 4 rakats of sunnah are performed, after which 4 rakats of farz are performed.
4-Evening prayer (Aksham, salat-ul Maghrib). 5 rak'ahs. The first 3 rak'ahs are fard, then we perform 2 rak'ahs of sunnah.
5-Night prayer (Yatsy, salat-ul Isha). Consists of 13 rak'ahs. First, 4 rak'ahs of sunnah are performed. Followed by 4 rakats of farz. Then 2 rak'ahs of sunnah. And finally, 3 rakats of Witr prayer.
Sunnat for pre-evening and night prayers from the category Gair-i muakkada. This means: at the first seat, after Attahiyata, read Allahumma sally, Allahumma barik and all duas. Then we get up for the third rak’ah, read “Subhanaka...” The first sunnah of the midday prayer is “ Muakkada" Or a strong sunnah, for which a lot of thawab is given. It is read in the same way as farzas; in the first sitting, immediately after reading the attahiyat, you need to get up to begin the third rak'ah. Having risen to our feet, we continue the prayer, starting with bismillah and al-Fatiha.
For example, the sunnah of morning prayer reads like this:
| 1. Intention (Niyat) 2. introductory (Iftitah) takbir A woman must be covered from head to toe so that her figure is not outlined. Only the face and palms remain open. He doesn’t raise his hands to his ears like men. Hands are raised to the level of the chest, an intention is made, takbir is made, hands are placed on the chest. The prayer begins. Pass through the heart " I intend, for the sake of Allah, to perform 2 rakats of the sunnah of today’s morning prayer, towards the Qibla" Then the takbir is pronounced " Allahu Akbar“When women fold their hands, they do not clasp the wrist of the left with the fingers of their right hand, but place their hands on their chest, placing the palm of their right hand on the hand of their left. Joining your hands on your chest. |
|
|
Qiyam, standing in prayer. Without taking your eyes off the place where the forehead is applied during sajda, a) read “ Subhanaka..", b) after " auzu.., bismillah..» read Fatiha. c) after Fatihi, without bismillah, a short surah (zamm-i surah) is read, for example surah “ Fil». |
 |
| 3. RUKU’U After zamm-i sur, saying “ Allahu Akbar"make a ruku'u. Women bend less than men. Knees slightly bent. The fingers do not clasp (as in men) the knees. Open palms are placed on top of the knees. Say three times " Subhana Rabbiyal Azyym" Pronounced five or seven times. |
 |
|
Stand up with the words " Sami'Allahu liman hamidahRabbana lakal hamd" The standing after this is called " kauma». |
 |
| 4. Prostration (sujud) Allahu AkbarSubhana Rabbiyal a'la». |
 |
|
With the words " Allahu Akbar» legs folded at the knees point to your right. Palms rest on hips, fingers in a free position. |
 |
|
AllahuakbarSubhana Rabbiyal a'la" (Sitting between sujuds is called “ jalsa»). |
 |
|
The second ra'kat is performed in the same way as the first. In Sujudah, say “ Subhana Rabbiyal-a'la" and with the words " Allahu Akbar"get to your feet. When standing up, do not push off the ground or move your legs. First, the forehead is removed from the floor, then the nose, first the left, then the right arms, then the left knee is removed, then the right. Standing on your feet after bismillah, the Fatiha is read, then the zam-i sura. |
 |
|
After with " Allahu Akbar"is performed ruku'u. During ruku'u, he will lean forward slightly. Without taking your eyes off your feet, say “ Subhana Rabbiyal Azyym». |
 |
|
Stand up with the words " Sami'Allahu liman hamidah", the eyes look at the place of sajda. When fully erect, say “ Rabbana lakal hamd». |
 |
| Prostration (sujud) Without stopping on your feet, go to sujud with the words “ Allahu Akbar" At the same time, put in order: a) The right knee, then the left, the right palm, then the left, then the nose and forehead. b) The toes are bent towards the Qibla. c) The head is placed between the hands. d) The fingers clench. e) All parts of the body are pressed against each other and to the floor f) In this position, pronounce “ Subhana Rabbiyal a'la». |
 |
|
With the words " Allahu Akbar» legs folded at the knees point to your right. Palms rest on hips, fingers in a free position. (Sitting between sujuds is called “ jalsa»). |
 |
|
After a short sitting with the words " Allahuakbar", go to the second sujud. In this position, pronounce “ Subhana Rabbiyal a'la». |
 |
| 5. Tahiyyat (TASHAHHUD) When sitting (tashahudda), women point their legs folded at the knees back to their right. The fingers on the knees are pressed together. |
 |
|
After reading " Attahiyata», « Allahumma barik.." And " Rabbana atina..", the greeting (salaam) is given first to the right "", then to the left " Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah» |
 |
After salam, it is said “ Allahumma antassalam wa minkassalam tabarakta ya zal-jalali wal-ikram" Next, you need to get up and, without uttering words, begin the obligatory (fard) morning prayer. (Because conversations between sunnah and farz, although they do not violate the prayer, but reduce the number of thawabs). This time you will need to make an intention for two rakats of morning prayer: “I intend, for the sake of Allah, to perform 2 rakats of today’s morning prayer, which is obligatory for me, towards the Qibla.”
After prayer, say three times “ Astagfirullah", then read " Ayatul-Kursi"(255 verse of sura " Bakara"), then read 33 tasbih ( Subhanallah), 33 times tahmid ( Alhamdulillah), 33 times takbir ( Allahu Akbar). Then read " La ilaha illalah wahdahu la sharikalyah, lahalul mulku wa lahalul hamdu wa hua ala kulli shayin kadir" All this is said quietly. Say them loudly bid'at.
Then dua is made. To do this, men extend their arms to chest level; their arms should not be bent at the elbows. Just as the Qibla for prayer is the Ka'bah, for dua the Qibla is the sky. After the dua the verse is read “ Subhanarabbika.."and the palms are passed over the face.
In four rak'ahs of sunnat or farzah, you need to stand up after the second rak'ah and read " attahiyyat" In the sunnah prayer, in the third and fourth rak'ahs, the zam-i sura is read after the Fatiha. In obligatory (fard) prayers, the zam-i surah is not recited in the third and fourth rakats. It also reads “ Maghreb» namaz, in the third rak'ah the zamm-i surah is not read. In Uitr prayer, in all three rakats after Fatiha, the zamm-i surah is read. Then the takbir is pronounced, and the hands are raised to the level of the ears, and placed back below the navel, then the dua is read “ Qunut" In the sunnat, those who are gayri muakkada (the sunnah of asr and the first sunnah of ishaa prayers) in the first sitting after the Attahiyat also read “ Allahumma sally.." And " ..barik..»
How does women's prayer differ from men's prayer?
The difference is in the following provisions:
1- When entering prayer, women raise their hands to shoulder level. Then, folding their hands, they do not clasp the wrist of the left hand with the fingers of their right hand, but place their hands on their chest, placing the palm of their right hand on the hand of their left.
2- Not move their legs together when moving to the waist bow position (rukuu). For ruku, bend over less, slightly bending your knees and Not aligning your back and head in a horizontal position. The palms are simply placed on the knees, Not wrapping your fingers around them.
3- When bowing to the ground (sujud), hands are placed on the floor along with elbows and closer to the stomach. The whole body is pressed against the hips and the floor.
4- When sitting (tashahudda), the legs folded at the knees are directed back to the right. The fingers on the knees are pressed together.
5- When turning to Allah Almighty (supplication, dua), join open palms together and hold them in an inclined position opposite the face.
7- They don’t say the prayer loudly. On holidays, after the obligatory (fard) prayers, the Tashriq Takbirs are said quietly, silently.

What you need to learn in order to start praying
To do this, you need to learn and pronounce from memory in the following sequence:
[ATTENTION! When writing Arabic words and religious terms, as well as prayers and verses, letters of the Russian alphabet are used. The transliteration used gives only an approximate reading of Arabic words, but does not reflect the phonetics of the Arabic language. For correct pronunciation You must seek help from an Arabic language teacher, and if this is not possible, use audio or video materials].
After pronouncing the introductory takbir (Allahu Akbar), one must say:
1) “Subhanaka...”: “Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika wa tabarakasmuka wa Taala jadduka wa la ilaha gairuk”
(Glory to You my Allah and praise to You, and blessed is Your name, and there is no other god besides You!).
2) “A’uzu...Bismillyakh...”: “A’uzubillyahi minnash-shaitanir-rajim. Bismillyahi-r-Rahmani-r-Rahim!
(I resort to the protection of Allah from the cursed (stoned) shaitan. In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful!).
3) Sura No. 1 - “ Fatiha»:
“Alhamdulillahi Rabbi-l-‘alamiin! Ar-Rahmani-r-Rahim! Maliki yawwmiddin. Iyyaka na "I'll be wa yyyaka nasta"in. Ikhdi-na-s-Syrat-al-mustaqim. Syrat-al-lyazina an ‘amta ‘alayhim. Gairi-l-magdubi ‘aleihim wa lyaddaaa-lliiiin.”
(Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds! The Gracious, the Merciful, the King on the Day of Judgment. We worship You and ask You to help! Lead us along the straight road, Along the path of those whom You have blessed - not those who are under anger, and not lost).
4) Another short surah or any three verses of similar size.
For example, Short suras:
a) “Inna a” secret kel-kausar. Fasalli li Rabbika vanhar. Inna shaniaka huwa-l-abtar.”
Verily, We have given you plenty! Pray to your Lord and kill him! After all, your hater is scanty (a tailless sheep; a man without offspring (Sura 108 - “Kausar”).
b) “Kul Huwallahu ahad. Allahu Samad. Lam yalid wa lam yulad, wa lam yakullahu kufuvan ahad.”
Say: “He is Allah - one, Allah is eternal; He did not give birth and was not begotten, and no one was equal to Him!” (Sura 112 - “Ikhlyas”).
It is also necessary to memorize and recite in prayer from memory:
1. When bowing from the waist (Ruku’u), say three times: “Subhana Rabbi-al-Azym” - (Glory to my Great Lord!).
2. When bowing to the ground (sujud), say three times: "Subhana Rabbi-al-A"laa" - (Glory to my Most High Lord!).
3. When sitting in prayer:
a) “At-Tahiyatu...”: “At-tahiyyatu lillyahi vassalyavatu vattaibat. As-salamu ‘alaike ayyukhanabiyu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Assalamu alaina wa alaaa ‘ybadillahi-s-salihiin. Ashhadu allyaaa ilaha illallah wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan ‘abdu-Hu wa rasuluh"
Salutations to Allah and prayers and best words. Peace be upon you, O prophet, and the mercy and blessings of Allah. Peace be upon us and the righteous servants of Allah! I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and His messenger).
b) “Allahumma sally...”: “Allahumma salli ‘ala Muhammadin wa ‘ala ali Muhammad kema sallayta ‘ala Ibrahima wa ‘ala ali Ibrahima innaka Hamidun, Majid"- (O Allah! Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You blessed Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. Truly You are Worthy, Glorious!).
c) “Allahumma barik...”: "Allahumma barik 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala ali Muhammad kema barakta 'ala Ibrahima wa 'ala ali Ibrahima innaka Hamidun Majid"- (O Allah! Give blessings to Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You gave blessings to Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. Truly You are Worthy, Glorious!).
d) “Rabbanaa atinaa...”: “Rabbanaa atinaa fiddunyaa hasanatan wa fi-l-ahirati hasanatan wa kyna azab-an-nar”- “Our Lord! Grant us goodness both in our near life and in the afterlife, and protect us from the punishment of fire.” (2: 201)
e) “Rabbanagfirli...”: “Rabbanagfirli wa livalidaiya wa lil mu’minina yauma yakumul-hisaab.”- (Our Lord, forgive us on the day of judgment. Forgive also my mother, my father and all believers).
f) “As-salamu ‘alaikum wa rahmatullah” – (Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah)
A hadith from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: “The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) began the prayer after the opening takbir with this doxology: “Subhanaka...”.
[Tirmidhi – Salat 179 (243); Abu Daud - Salat 122 (776); Ibnu Majah - Ikamati-s-Salat 1 (804)].
In a hadith from Ibnu Mas'ud it is transmitted: "The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) told us: "If any of you makes the Waist Bow (ruku'u), let him say three times: "Subhana Rabbi-al-Azim." And this is the smallest amount. When performing the Prostration (sujud), let him also say three times: “Subhana Rabbi-al-A”la.” And this is also the smallest amount."
[Abu Dawud – Salat 154 (886); Tirmidhi – Salat 194 (261)].

Prayer (Namaz)

- Morning – 2 fards.
- Daily – 4 fards.
- Afternoon – 4 fards.
- Evening – 3 fards.

Raise both hands, fingers apart, with palms facing the Qibla, to ear level, touching your thumbs to your earlobes and say takbir iftitah (initial takbir) “Allahu akbar.”
Takbir. The gaze is turned to the place of soot (the place that the head touches when bowing to the ground). The palms are turned towards the Qibla, the thumbs touch the earlobes. Feet are parallel to each other. There is a distance of four fingers between them.
Then place your right hand with the palm of your left hand, clasping the wrist of your left hand with the little finger and thumb of your right hand, and lower your folded hands in this way just below your navel and read Surah Fatihah:
“Auzu billahi minashshaytaani r-rajim
Bismillahi r-rahmaani r-rahim
Alhamdu lillahi rabbil ‘alamin
Iyyakya na'budu wa iyakya nasta'iin
Ikhdina s-syraatal mystakyim
Syraatallyazina an'amta aleikhim
Gairil magdubi aleikhim valad-doolliin.
Aamin. “ (Pronounced silently)
Qiyam. The gaze is turned to the place of soot. Hands folded on the stomach, just below the navel. The thumb and little finger of the right hand wrap around the wrists of the left hand. Feet are parallel to each other. There is a distance of four fingers between them.
Having lowered your hands, say: “Allahu Akbar” and perform ruku’ (waist bow).
Ruku'. The gaze is directed to the tips of the toes. The head and back are at the same level, parallel to the surface of the place of prayer. Legs straightened. The fingers are spread apart and clasp the knees.
After straightening, with the words “Allahu Akbar”, perform soot. When performing soot, you must first kneel down, then lean on both hands and, only after that, touch the soot with your forehead and nose.
Soot. The head is between the hands. The forehead and nose touch the floor. Fingers and toes should point in the direction of the Qibla. The elbows do not touch the carpet and are moved away from the body. The belly does not touch the hips. The heels are closed.
After this, with the words “Allahu Akbar,” rise from the soot to a sitting position.
Then, with the words “Allahu Akbar,” stand up to perform the second rak’ah. The hands close in the same place.
II rak'at (salat for a beginner)
First, as in the first rak’at, read Surah “Fatiha”, an additional surah, for example “Ikhlas” (although for beginners you can limit yourself to only reading Surah “Fatiha” - see above), perform ruku’ (upper bow) and soot.
After the second sajdah of the second rak’at, sit on your feet and read the prayer (du’a) “Attahiyyat”:
“Attahiyaty lillaahi vassalavaty vatayibyatu
Assalaam aleyke ayukhannabiyu wa rahmatyllahi wa baraka'atykh
Assalaam aleyna wa ‘ala ‘ibadillahi s-salihiin
Ashhad alla illaha illallah
Wa ashkhady anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasylyukh’
Attention! When pronouncing the words “la illaha,” the index finger of the right hand rises, and when saying “illa illaha,” it goes down.
Qa'da (sitting). The gaze is directed to the knees. Hands are on your knees, fingers in a free position. The landing is shifted to the shin of the left leg. The right leg is slightly moved to the side, the toes are bent towards the Qibla.
Salam (greeting) to the right side. Hands on knees, fingers in a free position. The foot of the right foot is placed on the carpet at a right angle, the toes are directed towards the Qibla. The head is turned to the right, looking at the shoulder.
Salam to the left. Hands are on your knees, fingers in a free position. The foot of the right foot is placed on the carpet at a right angle, the toes are directed towards the Qibla. The head is turned to the left, looking at the shoulder.
This concludes your prayer.
In conclusion, you can turn to the Almighty Creator with your du’as.
Du'a. Hands are joined and raised, fingertips are at shoulder level. The palms are open upward and placed at an angle (approximately 45°) to the face. The thumbs are pointed to the side.

an additional sura or verse equal in length to a small sura, for example “Kyausar”
5. After ruku’ straighten your body to a vertical position.
7. After this, with the words “Allahu Akbar,” rise from the soot to a sitting position

Prayers for performing namaz
Namaz is the daily sacrament of a Muslim turning to Allah through reading prayer texts five times. Prayers for namaz are divided into 5 temporary stages, the fulfillment of each of which is mandatory.
In order to perform namaz, a devout Muslim must be spiritually prepared for the sacrament:
- perform the ritual of ablution - “takharet”;
- be sober (drugs and alcohol are prohibited the day before);
- choose a clean, quiet and well-lit place for prayer;
- Muslim clothes are selected to be clean, washed, and not lower than the ankles;
- Before resorting to sacred prayers, you must turn your face towards the Qiblah (Kaaba) and read “niyat” - words indicating the intention to pray.
Prayers for namaz: types and their features
Before detailed description sacraments, let's look at several concepts known to every Muslim. The above-mentioned Kaaba (Qibla, Qibla) is the house of Allah. Rakaat (rakagat) is the order of words and physical actions in Muslim prayer.
Rakaats include:
- reading Sura - chapter of the Koran;
- reading Ayats (structural unit (verse) of the Koran);
- hand - bows from the waist, palms should reach knees;
- sujud - deep (down to earth) bows; kiyam—kneeling; Taslim - greetings to those standing nearby.
According to legend, the prophet Moses dictated to Muhammad during a night journey the importance of five daily prayers (salats). Let's look at them in more detail:
- Salat assubh is a “morning prayer” performed between dawn and sunrise, which includes two rakats - fajr.
- Salat azzuhr is a ritual performed from the moment the sun is at its zenith - “midday prayer” containing four rakqats - zuhr.
- Salat Asr is an “afternoon (pre-evening) prayer” carried out immediately after Zuhr, also four-rakkat.
- Salat Maghrib is a sunset (evening) prayer with three rakqat, performed in the interval after sunset until dark.
- Salat Isha is a four-rakah night prayer, performed at the end of all previous salahs.
Rules for performing namaz
Muslims must perform all prayers in Arabic, as prescribed in the Koran. Therefore, every true Muslim studies the Koran throughout his childhood, and not just studies, but crams scripture to perfection.
Each word or phrase corresponds to a specific action (bow, handshake, kneeling, etc.). Moreover, an incorrectly applied unnecessary action or the deliberate use of incorrect speech patterns or sound distortion makes the prayer invalid.
Muslim religions strictly restrict women's rights in everyday life. These restrictions also apply to the reading of prayer. For example, it is not advisable for a woman to go to the mosque. She must pray at home, and during the ceremony she must be covered with an opaque blanket. It is forbidden for Muslim women to raise their arms high and spread their legs wide, and she must even pull in her stomach while bowing.
Daily muslim prayers designed to strengthen faith and impeccable worship of Allah. Brought up in the strictest religious traditions, Muslims are very sensitive and strict about their beliefs and their faith; the Christian faith in this regard is inferior to Eastern religions.
For failure to perform prayer for unjustified reasons, the soul of every Muslim suffers a serious sin, which Allah immediately punishes. And a person has to pray to Allah in more serious ways than praying five times a day.

Prayer for Namaz: comments
One comment
I read the article, I didn’t understand one thing, you wrote that before reading the prayer, namely the day before, you cannot drink alcohol or drugs, in principle they cannot be used by believers doing namaz, regarding the criteria that need to be done before prayer, I can add that not only you need to be in clean clothes, you also need to wash your face, hands and feet before prayer, thereby ridding yourself of all negativity through water. For those who find it difficult to perform namaz 5 times a day at a certain time (you are at work or some other everyday problems) you can combine 2 prayers at one time.
