What do you need to start reading prayer? Correct prayer - how to perform prayer correctly. Muslim prayer against problems, trouble, misfortune and grief

After believing in God and His Messenger - Prophet Mu X ammada, peace be upon him, performing the five obligatory Namaz (Prayers) is the best deed of a Muslim. One day to the Prophet Mu X Ammad, peace be upon Him, was asked what action is best. He replied:

الصَّلاةُ لِوَقْتِهَا أَيْ فِي أَوَّلِ وَقْتِهَا

which means: “Obligatory Prayers performed on time.” Passed this on X adi With Imam Al-Bayha To y.

When we say “Namaz”, we mean worshiping God in the way that was conveyed to the Prophet Mu X ammadu, peace be upon him. All Prophets, from the Prophet A lady before Prophet Mu X ammada, peace be upon them, ordered their followers to perform Namaz as commanded by God.

Since ancient times, Namaz has been the most important act after faith in God and His Messenger, and each of us must plan our daily routine so as to be able to perform Namaz on time. It is a great sin when a mukallaf ignores performing Namaz, justifying himself by saying that he is busy: shopping in a store or waiting for a flight at the airport and is not able to come home or go to the mosque - he is still obliged to perform Namaz on time. Even when a person is sick and lies in bed, as long as he is sane, he is obliged to perform Namaz. The above indicates that performing the obligatory Namaz is a priority over other matters.

PREPARATION FOR NAMAZ

There are obligatory and optional Namaz, for which a reward is given. The optional Namaz requires the same preparations as the five obligatory Namaz. There are several requirements for a person who wants to perform Namaz: the person praying must be a Muslim who has reached the age of Mumayyiz - this is usually seven years according to the lunar calendar (about 6 years and 9 months according to the generally accepted calendar in the world).

T ah A rat (Purification)

To perform Namaz, a Muslim must be able to " T ah A rat." T ah A rat includes: cleansing from naj A sy (impurity), Al- U at du` (partial washing of the body) and Al- G Usul (complete washing of the body) - for the one who is obliged to do it.

Purification from najasa (impurities)

According to Shar And‘and some substances are impurities. Their presence on a person’s body, clothes, at the place of Prayer, as well as on one’s person (for example, in a pocket) while performing Namaz is not allowed. Let's list some of them: urine, feces, blood, vomiting, discharge from male and female genital organs, with the exception of mania (according to the school of Imam Sh A fi‘iy maniyas are not impurities).

In order to cleanse oneself after urinating, a person blots the urine with toilet paper, then pours water on the areas contaminated with urine.

If feces are released, a person removes it from the body with toilet paper, then pours water on the contaminated areas to remove traces of uncleanness.

It is also acceptable to use only toilet paper, or only water. However, using toilet paper alone has its own conditions. You can limit yourself to using paper if the urine has not spread beyond the exit from the urethra. If the urine goes beyond these limits, then it is necessary to use water. Also in the case of feces: if the impurities have gone beyond the zone located inside the buttocks brought together when the person is in a standing position.

Al- U at du` (minor or partial washing of the body)

All said A h The Most High in the Sacred TO ur`an (Sura 5 “Al-M A`ida”, Ayat 6):

﴿ يَأَيُّهَا الذّينَ ءَامَنُوا إِذَا قُمْتُمْ إِلى الصَّلاةِ فَاغْسِلوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ إِلى المَرَافِقِ وامْسَحُوا بِرُءُوسِكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ إِلى الكَعْبَيْنِ ﴾

This Ayat means: “Oh you! Those who believe, if you stand for Namaz (that is, before Namaz), wash your faces and hands up to the elbows (including the elbows), wipe your heads (that is, at least part of the head) and wash your feet up to the ankles (including the ankles).”

Al- U at du` consists of mandatory requirements and optional, but recommended actions. Mandatory requirements are those without which Al- U at du` is invalid. Recommended actions are those, if not performed, Al- U at du` is valid, and a reward is given for their implementation. Al- U at du` performed only with water.

How to perform Al- U at du`

  1. It is recommended to draw water into your nose, bringing the water to your nose with your right hand, and then blow your nose with your left hand - 3 times (Fig. 3).
  2. Necessarily make an intention to commit Al- U at du`. When the water touches your face, you should “say” in your heart:
    “I intended to fulfill Al- U at du`».
  3. Necessarily wash your face (skin and hair) completely: from the place on the forehead, where most people have hair, to the chin, from one ear to the other (Fig. 4). A thick beard is washed superficially (it is not necessary to wash it to the very roots of the hair).

    Fig.3 Fig.4

    If the point in the middle of the forehead, where the hair begins, is connected with a thread to the upper part of the base of the ear (where it connects to the head), then everything that appears below the thread (hair, skin, part of the ears) will be the area which necessary rinse (Fig. 4-a, 4-b).
    It is recommended to wash your face 3 times.

  4. Necessarily Wash your hands up to your elbows once, including your elbows. It is recommended to wash each hand 3 times: first the right, then the left (Fig. 5).
  5. Necessarily wipe the head or part of it (Fig. 6).
  6. It is recommended to wipe the ears 3 times.
  7. Necessarily wash your feet, including your ankles. It is recommended to wash 3 times, starting with the right foot.
  8. Necessary in order to carry out mandatory actions from paragraphs. 1-10 occurred in the above sequence.
  9. After completion of Al- U at du` it is recommended to read “Du‘ A` "Al- U at du`»».

These words mean:

“I testify that there is no deity but God - Allah A ha, who has no partner, and I testify that Mu X ammad - His servant and Messenger.

Oh All A h! Let me be among those who have repented and let me be among those who have purified themselves. You are above all shortcomings. Praise and Glory to You. I testify that there is no god but You. I ask Your forgiveness and repent before You.”

Note

When performing Al- U at du` and Al- G It is preferable to use a small amount of water for usul. In the collection “ WITH A heh Muslim” it is said that the Messenger of Allah A ha, peace be upon Him, used a mudd of water (a handful - two palms of an average person brought together) to perform Al- U at du` and CA‘ (four handfuls of an average person) to perform Al- G usul. Also in the collection “Sa heh Muslim” mentioned that the Messenger of Allah A ha used six mudds of water for Al- U at du` and thirty mudds - for Al- G usul.

What stops Al- U at du`

If you were in a state of "Al- U at du`", and then one of the circumstances occurred that stopped Al- U at du`, then you cannot perform Namaz until you perform Al- U at du` again. Circumstances that violate Al- U at du`:

TO "al-ajnabiy" does not include close relatives: mother, father, sister, brother, etc., with whom, according to Shar And‘atu, you can’t get married.

If at least one of these circumstances occurs during Namaz, then Namaz is immediately violated and Al-Al-I should be performed again. U at du` and perform Namaz.

Al- G usul (full body ablution)

In order to perform Namaz, a Muslim is obliged to perform Al- G usul in the following cases:

How to perform Al- G usul

  1. Necessary make an intention to fulfill Al- G usul as soon as the water touches the body. You should “say” in your heart: “I intend (intended) to fulfill the obligatory (fard) G usul";
  2. Necessarily Wash the entire body with water, including all hair. It is recommended to do this 3 times;

When performing Al- U at du` and Al- G It is necessary that everything that obstructs the flow of water through the body is removed (for example, nail polish or mascara on eyelashes).

Tayammum (purification without water)

In some cases (if there is no water or its use is harmful to health), instead of Al- U at du` or Al- G Usul, Tayammum is performed, i.e. cleansing with the help of earth (sand), as stated in the Holy TO ur`ane:

﴿ فَلَمْ تَجِدُوا مَآءً فَتَيَمَّمُوا صَعِيدًا طَيّبًا فَامْسَحُوا بِوُجُوهِكُمْ وأَيْدِيَكُم مّنْهُ ﴾

(Sura 4 An-Nis A`", Ayat 43),

which means: “If you do not find water, then perform Tayammum with clean soil. Wipe your faces and hands with it.”

Prophet Mu X ammad, peace be upon him, said:

جُعِلَتْ لَنَا الأَرْضُ كُلُّهَا مَسْجِدًا وَجُعِلَتْ تُربَتُهَا لَنَا طَهُورًا

It means: “It is permissible for us to pray on clean land and it is permissible to use it for ritual purification - Tayammum.” This saying was conveyed by Imam Muslim.

In order to perform Tayammum, a person must be sure that the time for Namaz has come. Tayammum is valid only for one obligatory Namaz. Before each obligatory Namaz, Tayammum is performed again. For optional Namaz, one Tayammum is sufficient.

How to perform Tayammum

The person performing Tayammum must be sure that the earth (sand) with which he is going to perform Tayammum contains dust and that it has not been used previously to perform Tayammum (Fig. 1).

Performing Tayammum:

  1. Necessarily- hit the ground with your palms and make an intention, “saying” with your heart: “I intended (intended) to perform Tayammum in order to have the right to perform the obligatory Namaz.” Intention arises from the moment the hands are raised from the ground after hitting it and continues until the hands touch the face; (Fig. 2);

  2. Necessarily– wipe the entire face (borders of the face: see the section “How to perform al- U at du`") – fig. 3;
  3. Necessarily– hit the ground with your palms 2nd time and wipe both hands with them (those parts that are washed during Al- U at du`).

  4. It is recommended to first wipe the right hand and then the left hand (Fig. 4). Necessary be sure that the earth (sand) remaining on the hand that is wiping the other hand has reached all parts of the hand being wiped (Fig. 5-8).

When is Namaz performed?

Obligatory Namaz is performed only after will be sure that the time for this Namaz has come. Therefore, it is necessary to know how to determine the time of onset and end of each obligatory Namaz.

Five Obligatory Prayers

All said A h in Sacred TO ur`ane:

﴿ حَافِظوا عَلى الصَّلوات ﴾

(Sura 2 “Al-Ba To Ara, Ayat 238").

It means: “Perform the five obligatory Prayers.”

The Messenger of Allah said A ha, peace be upon him:

خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ كَتَبَهُنَّ اللهُ عَلى العِبَاد. من أَتى بِهِنَّ لَمْ يُضَيّعْ منهُنَّ شَيئًا اسْتخفَافًا بِحَقّهِنَّ كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللهِ تَبَارَكَ وتَعالى عَهْدٌ أن يُدْخِلَهُ الجَنَّة. ومن لَمْ يَأْتِ بِهِنَّ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللهِ عَهْدٌ إن شاء عذَّبَه وإن شاء غَفَر لَه

It means: “There are five Namaz that Allah A h commanded His servants to do it. To the one who performs them properly, without violations, Allah A h promised Paradise. The one who did not perform Namaz as expected is in danger: God did not promise him deliverance from the torment of hell - Allah A h will either punish him or grant him forgiveness.” This saying was narrated by Imam A. X mad.

Every Muslim mukallaf (of age, not mentally ill), that hir (that is, a woman in a pure period, when she does not have menstruation or postpartum discharge) must perform five Namaz per day.

The following five Prayers are obligatory:

  1. Namaz “A” hZ uhr” (Afternoon Prayer);
  2. Namaz “Al-‘A” With r” (Pre-Evening Prayer);
  3. Namaz “Al-Ma” G rib” (Evening Prayer);
  4. Namaz “Al-‘Ish” A`” (Night Prayer);
  5. Namaz “A” WithWITH dec X” (Dawn Prayer).

Each of the obligatory Namaz has its own specific time at which it must be performed. Performing the obligatory Namaz before or after a certain time without a valid religious reason is a sin.

All A h bestowed knowledge on the Prophet Mu X ammadu through Archangel Gabriel, peace be upon them, how to determine the time of each Namaz.

How to determine Namaz times

Namaz “A” With WITH ubkh” (Dawn Prayer)

Namaz time “A” WithWITH dec X” (in Fig. A) begins with true dawn, i.e. just after a thin horizontal white streak appears on the eastern horizon. Namaz time “A” WithWITH dec X” continues until sunrise, that is, until the solar disk appears on the eastern horizon (in Fig. - B).

Namaz “A” h Z uhr” (Afternoon Prayer)

Namaz time “A” hZ"ур" begins from the moment the sun deviates from the zenith towards the west (in Fig. - C) and continues until the length of the shadow from a certain object becomes equal to its height plus the length of the shadow from this object at the moment when the sun was at zenith (in Fig. - D).

Namaz “Al-‘Asr” (Pre-Evening Prayer)

Namaz time “Al-‘A” With r” begins immediately after the time for Namaz “A” ends hZур” (in Fig. – D), and ends with sunset, i.e. when the solar disk completely disappears behind the horizon (in Fig. E).

Namaz “Al-Maghrib” (Evening Prayer)

Namaz “Al-Ma” G rib” begins after full sunset (E) and continues until the red sunset streak on the western horizon disappears (F).

Namaz “Al-‘Isha” (Night Prayer)

Al-Ish Namaz time A`" begins immediately after the end of the time of Namaz "Al-Ma G rib”, and ends with the advent of the true dawn.



How to dress for Namaz

A woman must have her entire body covered (with clothing that hides the color of her skin), except for her face and hands. The body should remain covered during the entire Namaz. If during Namaz, when bending over, the scarf covering a woman’s head, for example, slides forward, exposing her neck, her Namaz is not accepted. Also, a woman should be sure that her body is covered on all sides except the bottom (top and side). For these purposes, you can wear a special dress over your main clothes that would completely cover the body on all sides except the bottom. The second dress has another benefit: it hides the shape of a woman’s body.

For a man, the area from the navel to the knees on all sides except the bottom should be closed during the entire Namaz. Also his clothes must be opaque, that is, hiding the color of the skin.

NAMAZ

Every mukallaf Muslim must perform five prayers per day, which are called obligatory. Failure to perform any of the obligatory Prayers without a valid religious reason is a great sin.

One of the advantages of performing obligatory Namaz is that a person is forgiven minor sins committed between Namaz. Prophet Mu X ammad, peace be upon him, said:

أَرَأَيْتُمْ لَوْ أَنَّ نَهْرًا بِبَابِ أَحَدِكُمْ يَغْتَسِلُ مِنْهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ
هَلْ يَبْقَى مِنْ دَرَنِهِ شَىْءٌ؟

meaning: “If any of you had a river running near your yard and you bathed in it five times a day, would there be any dirt left on your body?” The companions replied: “No, I wouldn’t stay.” Then the Prophet said:

فَذَلِكَ مَثَلُ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسِ يَمْحُو اللهُ بِهِنَّ الْخَطَايَا مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ

“This is like praying five times a day, thanks to which sins are forgiven.”.

How to perform Namaz “A” hZ uhr" (Afternoon Prayer)

Namaz "A" hZ uhr" consists of 4 rak'ats (Namaz cycles).

The following requirements must be met:

  1. Direction towards Ka'bah: Necessarily– stand with your chest turned towards the Revered Ka’bah, which is located in the city of Mecca;
  2. Intention: Necessarily make an intention in your heart to perform Namaz “A” hZ uhr". Do this while saying the words: “All A hu Akbar" ("God is Almighty"). It is enough to “say” in your heart: “I intended to perform the obligatory Namaz “A” hZ uhr"";
  3. Saying the words of Takbir: Necessarily- say: “All A hu Akbar" so that you can hear yourself (also necessary hear yourself in all subsequent verbal hands). It is recommended (but not required) for men to raise their hands to ear level and touch the pads of their thumbs to their earlobes, and for women to raise their hands to shoulder level (Fig. 1);

  4. Standing (Fig. 2): Necessarily– stand in obligatory Namaz while reading Surah “Al-F” A you X a”, if a person is able to do it. It is recommended to keep your hands below the chest and above the navel (for men) or on the chest (for women), with the right hand on top of the left or holding the wrist of the left hand;

  5. Reading Surah Al-F A you X A": Necessarily reading Surah Al-F A you X a" (1st Sura TO ur`ana - see below).

    Interpretation of Surah Al-F A you X A"

    1. I start with the Name All A ha – the One Almighty Creator. He is the Merciful, the Bestower of blessings for everyone in this World, and the Merciful only for believers in the Next World.
    2. Praise be to All A hu, Lord of the worlds, for everything that He gave to His servants (Angels, people, jinn). All glory - Allah A Hu, Creator and Lord of the worlds.
    3. He is Ar-Ra X m A n (Merciful for everyone in this World) and
      He is Ar-Ra hee m (Merciful only for believers in the Next World).
    4. All A h – One Lord of the Day of Judgment, the Day of Reckoning and Retribution. And no one except Him has power over anything on this Day. All A h rules over everything.
    5. To You alone we offer the highest degree of worship and to You we cry for help.
    6. Keep us on the Path of Truth (on the Path of Islam), goodness and happiness.
    7. Lead us along the Path of Your pious servants, to whom You granted to believe in You and to whom You showed Your Grace, directing them along the straight Path (the path of Islam), along the path of those whom You have blessed (along the Path of the Prophets and Angels). But not along the path of those whom You punished, and who strayed from the Path of Truth and Good, deviating from faith in You, and not showing obedience to You.

    If someone cannot recite Surah Al-F correctly A you X a", he must read any passage from the Holy TO ur'ana, which he can read well, and the number of letters in it must be no less than the number of letters in Surah Al-F A you X a" (156 letters).
    If anyone knows one or more Ayats from Surah Al-F A you X a", then he can repeat them several times so that the same or more letters are pronounced as in the whole Surah "Al-F A you X A".
    If a person cannot read a single Ayat from Surah Al-F A you X a”, then reads other Ayats from TO ur`ana, the number of letters in which is not less than in Surah “Al-F” A you X A".
    And if a person cannot read anything from TO ur`ana, then you must read Z Ikr (words of remembrance of All A ha), for example such as:

    سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ ِللهِ وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ
    "Sub Ha na-ll A h, at al- X amdu lill I h, at a l I silt I ha illall A h, at all A hu Akbar"
    (“All A h above all shortcomings, Praise and Glory - Allah A huh, there is no deity except All A ha, All A h Almighty").

    The worshiper pronounces these words as many times as is sufficient to ensure that at least the same number of letters is obtained as in Surah Al-F A you X A".
    Narrated by the Imams of An-Na at A at Iy and Ibn X ibb A It is known that one day a man came to the Prophet, peace be upon Him, and asked: “O Messenger of Allah A ha! Truly, I cannot learn to read TO ur`ana. Teach me something that will replace reading TO ur`ana". The Prophet, peace be upon him, replied: "Tell:

    سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ ِللهِ وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ
    "Sub X anal A h, at al- X amdu lill I h, at a l I silt I ha illall A h, at all A hu Akbar. U a l I X A at la at a l I To at uh ata illya bill I hil-‘Aliyil-‘A зъs m"".

    In a different X adi With The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: "If you can read TO ur`an, then read it. If not, then read “Al- X amdu-li-ll I h, l I silt I ha illya-ll A h, All A hu Akbar."
    For example, say the words “All A Hu Akbar” twenty times is enough.
    If a person cannot read Surah Al-F A you X a", nor anything else from TO ur`ana, as well as Z calves, then he during the time required for moderate recitation of Surah Al-F A you X a,” stands silently.
    After reading Surah Al-F A you X a" it is recommended to say: " A m And n" ("Oh, All A h! Grant me what I ask of You." It is also recommended to read at least one Ayat from TO ur'ana in the 1st and 2nd rak'ah (Namaz cycle) - see below. Before reading Surah Al-F A you X a" in the 1st rak'at it is recommended to read "Tauajjuh" (Du' A`, beginning Namaz) and then "Isti' A for" (appeal to Allah A hu to the Almighty for protection from shaitan (the devil), cursed by God)- see below);

  1. Al-I'tid A l (Straightening): Necessarily return after Ruku‘ to the “standing” position, while should remain at rest for the time required to pronounce the words “Sub” Ha nal A h" (Fig. 4). During straightening, it is recommended to bring your hands to your ears, touch the pads of your thumbs to the earlobes - for men, or to shoulder level - for women, and say at the same time:
    سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ
    "Sami'a-ll A hu estuary X amidah" ​​("All A h – All-Hearing. We hope that He will accept our praise." When returning to a standing position, it is recommended to say:
    رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ

    "Rabb AndG fir l And, at a-r X amn And, at a-jburn And, at a-rfa‘n And, at a-rzu To n And, at a-hdin And, at A ' A fin And" (“Oh, my Lord! Grant me forgiveness, have mercy on me, help me, raise my level, give me food, lead me further along the True Path and protect me from illnesses”).
    When Sitting, it is recommended that the left leg be under the buttocks, and the right leg should stand vertically on the floor, similar to Sujud.

For seating methods, see paragraph “9”. Another way of sitting: on both crossed feet. When sitting, it is recommended to keep both hands on your knees. The fingers of the left hand lie on the left knee and are directed towards Ka'ba, the fingers of the right hand, except for the index, lie on the right knee. In Tashahhud, when pronouncing the words “illall” A h" the index finger of the right hand is slightly raised and remains in this position until the end of the seat (Fig. 8-b).

  4. Then Necessarily– stand up and perform the next two rak’ahs in the same way as points “5” to “11” were performed. When rising to the 3rd rak'at, it is recommended to raise your hands to ear level, touch the pads of your thumbs to the earlobes - for men, or to shoulder level - for women, and say at the same time: “All A hu Akbar." However, when standing on the fourth rak’at, it is not recommended to raise your hands.

What does Namaz violate?

It is necessary to know the circumstances that violate Namaz.

Among them are the following:

  1. Failure to perform one obligatory part of Namaz.
  2. Pronouncing extraneous words that are not related to Namaz, if at the same time the worshiper remembers that he is performing Namaz.
  3. A lot of extraneous movements, if they take up the time of one rak’at, according to some scholars. According to other scholars, Namaz is violated by 3 outside movements in a row. The opinion of the first scientists is preferable.
  4. Making sudden movements, such as jumping.
  5. Adding extra rukn-actions, for example, if a person performs 2 Ruku' instead of one or 3 Sujud instead of 2 in one rak'at intentionally, remembering that Namaz is being performed.
  6. Making at least one playful movement (for example, if a person stuck his tongue out at someone or winked playfully).
  7. Eating or drinking even in small quantities, remembering that Namaz is being performed.
  8. Al violation U at du`, for example, when gas or urine comes out.
  9. With the intention to interrupt Namaz or hesitation as to whether to interrupt Namaz or not, as well as with the intention to interrupt Namaz due to any circumstance (for example, if someone has set the condition: “If the doorbell rings, I will interrupt Namaz,” or hesitates in this. In this case, the person’s Namaz is immediately violated).

How to read Namaz to someone who cannot perform Sujud on earth

A person who can stand and can perform Ruku', but cannot perform Sujud, performs Namaz as follows:

  1. He stands in the direction TO ybla and says: "Allahu Akbar" with the intention of performing Namaz.
  2. Reads the Surah "Al-F A you X A" standing.
  3. Performs Ruku' as usual, with palms at knee level. You should remain in this position in a state of rest for the time necessary to pronounce the words "Sub Ha nal A h".
  4. You should return to the “standing” position and remain at rest for the time necessary to pronounce the words "Sub Ha nal A h".
  5. Then the worshiper sits on a chair (chair, bench) - fig. a, leans forward so that the forehead is in front of the knees, and is at rest for the time necessary to pronounce the words "Sub Ha nal A h"(Fig. b).

  6. “Sit between Sujuds” - return to the “sitting” position and remain in this position in a state of rest for the time required to pronounce "Sub Ha nal A h".
  7. 2nd Sujud - you should bend over in the same way as in the 1st Sujud and remain in this position at rest for the time required to pronounce "Subh en all A h".
  8. Then the worshiper gets up to read the 2nd rak'at.
  9. He repeats all the points as in the 1st rak’at, but after making the 2nd Sujud, he does not get up, but sits and reads Tashahhud And "A WithСъ Alyat Al-Ibr A him And Yay." If the worshiper read Namaz "A With—Sub X» , then after sitting in the 2nd rak’at he says: "As-sal I mu 'alaikum wa Ra X matullah", in this case, it is recommended to turn your head to the right, then, pronouncing the same words, turn your head to the left (Fig. c, d). With this, the worshiper completes his Namaz. In the same way, the worshiper reads the remaining Namaz, adding the appropriate number of rak’ats.

How to read Namaz to someone who can stand, but cannot perform Ruku‘ while standing and Sujud on the ground

Whoever can stand while reading Namaz, but cannot perform Ruku' and Sujud, does the following:

  1. Stands in the direction TO ybla and with the intention of reading Namaz says: “All A hu Akbar."
  2. Standing, reads Surah Al-F A you X a” - so that you can hear yourself (Fig. d).
  3. Makes Ruku' and remains in this position in a state of rest for the time required to pronounce “Sub Ha nallah" (Fig. e).
  4. Then it straightens up and remains in this position in a state of rest for the time required to pronounce the words “Sub Ha nal A h".
  5. Sits on a chair (chair) and performs the first Sujud, bends forward so that the forehead is in front of the knees, remains in this position at rest for the time required to pronounce “Sub Ha nallah" (Fig. h).
  6. Returns to the “sitting” position, remains in this position in a state of rest for the time required to pronounce “Subh en all A h" (Fig. g).
  7. He performs the second Sujud in the same way as the first, and remains in this position in a state of rest for the time required to pronounce “Sub” Ha nal A h".
  8. He gets up to perform the second rak'ah, does everything in the same way as in the first rak'ah, but after the second Sujud sits to read Tashahhud and "A With-Sal I t Al-Ibr A h And m And Yay."
    If the worshiper read Namaz “A WithСъ dec X", then ends it after the 2nd rak'ah by saying "As-Sal I mu'alaikum." He performs the remaining Namaz in the same way, adding the appropriate number of rak'ats.

How to read Namaz to someone who cannot stand at all

The person praying sits towards TO ybla.

He says: “All A hu Akbar” with the intention of performing Namaz (Fig. m).

Reads Surah Al-F A you X a" sitting (Fig. n).

He does Ruku‘ and Sujud in the same way as was described in the previous topic (“How to read Namaz to someone who can stand, but cannot perform Ruku‘ and Sujud”), but since he cannot stand, he does everything while sitting.

Jama'at (Collective Namaz)

A person receives a great reward when he performs Namaz collectively. This can be either in the mosque or elsewhere. During collective Namaz, one worshiper stands in front (imam), and others following the imam in Namaz stand behind him. The one who follows the imam in collective Namaz is called “ma’mum”. The reward for Namaz performed collectively is 27 times greater than for Namaz performed alone. This is stated in X adi With e:

صَلاةُ الرَّجُل فى الجَمَاعَةِ تَزِيدُ على صَلاتِهِ وَحْدَهُ سَبْعًا وَعَشْرِينَ

It means: “For Namaz performed collectively, the reward is 27 times greater than for Namaz performed individually.” Passed this on X adi With Imam Muslim.

When performing Namaz, the imam should:

  • Stand behind the imam.
  • Say the Takbir after the imam pronounces the Takbir.
  • Have the intention in your heart to follow the imam, for example: “I intended (intended) to follow the imam when performing the obligatory Namaz “A hZ uhr"".
  • You should wait until the Imam moves to the next position of Namaz, and then move to this position yourself.

How to read Namaz to someone who is late for the beginning of Namaz

A late person can be called one who came to the collective Namaz after the imam began to perform it, and did not have time for the imam to read Surah Al-F A you X a” (i.e. when the imam stood or performed Ruku‘, I‘tidal, Sajdah or read Tashahhud). If a latecomer managed to join any part of the collective Namaz, then he receives the reward of the collective Namaz.

What should a latecomer do?

The latecomer begins Namaz by saying the words “All A hu Akbar” with the simultaneous intention of performing Namaz. Then he follows the imam in his actions.

If the imam finishes reading Surah Al-F A you X a”, and the person who is late for the beginning of Namaz just begins to read it, then when the imam finishes reading and makes Ruku’, the person who is late stops his reading of Surah “Al-F A you X a" and follows the imam.

If the imam performs Ruku', then the one who is late for the beginning of Namaz, after pronouncing the words “Allahu Akbar”, immediately proceeds to perform Ruku’. This entire rak'ah will be counted towards him if he managed to remain at rest for a time sufficient to pronounce “Sub Ha na-ll A h" until the imam performed I'tidal. If the person following the imam did not have time for the imam’s Ruku’, then this rak’at is not counted for him, and it will be necessary to read it after the imam completes Namaz.

If the imam was in a “standing” position after Ruku‘, in Sajdah or sitting, then the latecomer takes the same position as the imam, but this rak‘ah is not counted towards him. He needs to read it after the Imam completes the Namaz. If a latecomer joined the Imam when he was reciting the last Tashahhud, then he follows the Imam, but after the Imam completes Namaz, he will need to read all the rak'ats of Namaz.

Performing Namaz-duties

Prophet Mu X ammad, peace be upon him, said:

مَنْ نَامَ عَنْ صَلاةٍ أَوْ نَسِيَهَا فَلْيَقْضِهَا إِذَا ذَكَرَهَا لَيْسَ لَهَا كَفَّارَةً إِلاَّ ذلِكَ

meaning: “Whoever overslept and did not read Namaz, let him read it as soon as he remembers. He has no other atonement." This saying was conveyed by Imam Al-Bukhariy.

Whoever overslept the time of Namaz reads Namaz as a duty.

If a person forgot to perform Namaz and remembered only after the time for this Namaz had passed, then he also reads Namaz as a duty.

As for the one who has missed a lot of Namaz and does not know their exact number, he reads the Namaz-debts until he is sure that he has repaid the entire debt in full. A Muslim does not leave his debts; he hurries to pay them off without delay.

It is better to repay debts for Namaz in the following order: A WithWITH dec X, A hZ ur, Al-‘A With r, etc.

Whoever died without having time to fulfill the Namaz-debts, but had the intention of completing them to the end and was not lazy, then Allah A h will not punish him.

A woman during the period of menstruation and postpartum cleansing does not read Namaz and does not pay debts for Namaz missed on these days.

Jumu'a (Friday Namaz)

Friday is the best day of the week. There are special blessings on Friday. Muslim men must attend Friday Prayer.

In the Sacred TO ur'ana it is said (Sura 62 "Al-Jumu'a", Ayat 9):

﴿ يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا إِذَا نُودِىَ لِلصَّلاةِ مِن يَوْمِ الجُمُعَةِ فاسْعَوْا إِلى ذِكْرِ اللهِ وَذَرُوا البَيْعَ ذلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ﴾

It means: “O you who believe! When the call for Friday Namaz comes, then hurry to Prayer and sermons in which there are mentions of Allah A Ha, and stop all types of buying and selling - it will be better for you, oh, if only you knew!

Prophet Mu X ammad, peace be upon him, said:

رَواحُ الجُمُعَةِ واجِبٌ على كُلّ مُحْتَلِمٍ

It means: “Performing Friday Namaz is obligatory for every mukallaf (male)” This saying was conveyed by An-Nasa'i.

Women, although they are not obligated, can perform Friday Namaz. This Namaz is performed collectively, usually in a mosque, during Namaz “A hZ ur", instead of Namaz "A hZ ur" of this day. Instead of four rak'ats of Namaz "A hZ ur" you perform only two rak'ahs. You begin Namaz with the intention of performing collective Friday Namaz instead of Namaz “A” hZ uhr". If you missed the collective Friday Namaz, then you perform Namaz “A hZ ur" in four rak'ats. During Friday Namaz, Muslims listen carefully to two sermons before the start of Namaz. Friday Namaz is performed immediately after reading two sermons.

Namaz "Jan" A for" (Funeral Prayer)

Performing the funeral Prayer for a deceased Muslim is a collective duty for the Muslim community. Just as during obligatory Namaz, those praying must be able to Al- U at du`. However, during the Prayer for the deceased, neither Ruku' nor Sujud is performed.

How to perform Namaz “Jan” A behind"

  1. Stand with your chest in the direction of Ka'bah.
  2. While pronouncing the words “All A hu Akbar” make an intention: “I intend to perform Namaz “Jan” A for" (Funeral Namaz) for this deceased Muslim."
  3. Whisper (so that you can hear yourself) read Surah Al-F A you X a", then say: "All A hu Akbar."
  4. Tell:

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ

/All A humma sj alli 'al I Mu X ammad/

It's better if you read in full " WITH Alatul-Ibr A h And m And Ya," and then say, "All A hu Akbar."

  1. Read the Du' A` to a deceased Muslim:

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ

/All A humma- G fir lahu at a-r X amhu/

It means: “Oh God, forgive him and grant him mercy” if the deceased is a man.

And if this is a woman, then read the following Du‘ for her A`:

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهَا وَارْحَمْهَا

/All A humma- G fir lah A at a-r X amh A/

It means: "Oh my God! Forgive her and give her mercy."

It is advisable to mention in Du‘ A` and other Muslims:

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِحَيِّنَا وَمَيِّتِنَا وَشَاهِدِنَا وَغَائِبِنَا وَصَغِيرِنَا وَكَبِيرِنَا وَذَكَرِنَا وَأُنْثَانَا. اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ أَحْيَيْتَهُ مِنَّا فأَحْيِهِ عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ، وَمَن تَوَفَّيْتَهُ مِنَّا فَتَوَفَّهُ عَلَى الإِيمَانِ

/All A humma- G Fir Lee X ayyin A at and mayitin A at aw A Hidin A at A ha`ibin A at A With A gi Rin A at and kyab And Rin A at A h akarin A at a un sa n A. All A humma mana X yaytahu minn A fa'a X th And hi ‘ala-l-Isl I m, at and man ta at affaytahu minn A veil at affahu ‘ala-l- And m A n/

It means: "Oh, All A h! Forgive our living and dead, those present and absent, our young and old, our men and women. Oh All A h! Grant to the one who is alive to practice Islam, and grant to the dying one to die in faith.” Narrated by Du' A` At-Tirmi h yy.

Then say: "All A hu Akbar."

  1. It is recommended to say:

اللَّهُمَّ لاَ تَحْرِمْنَا أَجْرَهُ وَلاَ تَفْتِنَّا بَعْدَهُ

/All A humma l I that X rymn A ajrahu at a l I Tuftinn A ba‘dah(u)/

It means: "Oh, All A h! Grant us rewards for the Prayer read to him, and protect us from error.”

  1. Tell: "As-Sal I mu'alaikum." It is recommended to say: “As-Salamu ‘alaikum at and Ra X matullus A h", turning your head to the right and then to the left.

When offering condolences to a Muslim whose Muslim friend or relative has died, it is advised to say:

أَعْظَمَ اللهُ أَجْرَكَ وَأَحْسَنَ عَزَاءَكَ وَغَفَرَ لِمَيِّتِكَ

/A' h ama-ll A hu ajrakya at a a X sana 'az A`akya at A G afara li-mayitikya/

It means: "May Allah A h will reward you, give you a lot of patience and forgive your loved one.”

And when consoling a Muslim whose non-Muslim relative has died, say the following:

أَعْظَمَ اللهُ أَجْرَكَ وَصَبَّرَكَ

/ A' h ama-ll A hu ajrakya at A sj abbarakya/

It means: "May Allah reward you A h for your good deeds and will give you patience.”

Interpretation of Ayat "Al-Kursi"

"I begin with the Name All A ha – the One Almighty Creator. He is the Merciful, the Bestower of blessings for everyone in this life and the Merciful only for believers in the Next World; There is no deity except Allah A ha, the One and Only and One Creator. Nobody and nothing are worthy
worship other than God;

Al-Hayu - All A h Alive. His Life is Eternal - without beginning and without end. His Life is different from the life of the created: His Life is without spirit, without blood, without body and is not like the life of anyone else. We live with body, blood, soul. The Creator is alive, but not like any living thing. His Life is different from the life of all existing ones.

Al- TO ayum - The Almighty does not need anyone or anything. Everyone else needs Him. Everything that is included in the Universe - Heaven, Hell, earth, sky, people, Angels, genies - needs All A to the Almighty. He has neither fatigue nor sleep.

He is the Lord of all, the Creator of the heavens, the earth and what is between them, above them and below them. All A h Omniscient. Inhabitants of heaven and earth (Angels, people, including Prophets, Messengers, A at lia, and the jinn) know only what Allah has given them to know A h. And only All A h knows about everything.

Al-Kursiy is a grandiose body that is located in the upper world. It is much larger in size than heaven and earth combined. Seven heavens and seven lands compared to Al-Kursiyy are like a ring thrown in the desert. By the Will of All A The earth, sky, stars, and the Universe are preserved. It is not difficult for Him to preserve all this in the form in which it was created by Him. By maintaining this, He does not get tired.

Al-‘Al And y – Creator who has no shortcomings.”

Rukn Namaz is an integral part of Namaz.

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 rakats, 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.

  1. 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.
  2. Cross your arms at chest level. Place your right palm on top. Read Surah Al-Fatihah.
  3. 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.
  4. Return to the starting position.
  5. 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.
  6. With the same words, go to a sitting position and say the phrase “Subhanallah.”
  7. Prostrate again and at the same time say the phrase “Allahu Akbar.”
  8. Return to the starting position to make the second rak'ah.
  1. Start, as at the very beginning, by reading Surah Al-Fahita. You can choose the words of dhikr, read some small surah.
  2. Now bow to the waist and to the ground, as you did during the first rak'ah.
  3. 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.

Namaz, as is known,- one of the most important pillars of Islam. Through prayer, a servant of Allah worships his Lord through body and spirit.

In the Holy Book of Islam and the Noble Sunnah of the Final Messenger of the Almighty (s.a.w.) there are many references to the importance of prayer for believers. Thus, in Surah “Spider” our Creator actually commands us to perform prayer:

“Read what is revealed to you from the Scripture and perform prayer. Indeed, prayer protects from abomination and reprehensible" (29:45)

The practice of Sunni Islam rests on four madhhabs, the presence of which marks the flexibility of the entire religious system. In this material we will tell you how prayer is read by men within the framework of these generally accepted theological and legal schools in Sunnism. Due to the fact that the Hanafi madhhab dominates among Russian-speaking Muslims, video material on the procedure for performing prayer according to this particular theological and legal school will be presented as an illustration.

Let us recall that the mandatory conditions for recognition of prayer as valid are: a person’s confession of Islam and his spiritual fullness, adulthood (from the point of view of Sharia), prayer at a strictly established time for it. (prayer schedule for Russian cities is presented), the presence of taharat, cleanliness of clothing and the place where namaz is performed, observance of the aura (so that private parts are not exposed during prostrations), turning to the Qibla (Kaaba), the person’s intention to read namaz.

Let us describe the step-by-step performance of prayer using a specific example with a video.

The order of reading the prayer

(using the morning example)

This prayer includes two rak'ahs of sunnat and farda. The believer must initially say out loud or silently to himself: intention(niyat) to perform morning prayer. It goes on to say takbir tahrim - "Allahu Akbar!"(“Allah is great!”). This type of takbir indicates the beginning of prayer. After it, a person is prohibited from uttering extraneous words and making movements not directly related to prayer. Otherwise, it will not be considered completed.

It is important to pay attention to how the hands are positioned during takbir tahrim. The Hanafi and Maliki madhhabs affirm the need at the sunnah level for men to raise their hands to the back of their heads and touch their earlobes with their thumbs, while in the Shafi'i and Hanbali schools this is not necessary. After this action it reads dua-sana:

“SubhanakAllahumma wa bihamdika, wa tabarakasmuka, wa taala jadduka, wa la ilaha gairuk”

Translation:“Glory and praise to you, Allah! Your name is pious, Your greatness is above all. And there is no one worthy of worship except You."

Note that within the Shafi'i madhhab used another dua-sana:

“Uadzhyakhtu wajhiya lil-lyaziya fataras-samauaati wal-ard, haniifam-muslima, wa ma ana min al-mushrikin, innas-salati wa nusuki, wa makhyaya, wa mamati lil-lyahi rabbil-'alamin, la sharika lyakh, wa bi zalikya umirtu wa ana minal-muslimin"

Translation:“I turn my face to Him who made the heavens and the earth. And I'm not a polytheist. Truly, my prayer and my good behavior, life and death belong only to Allah - the Lord of the worlds, Who has no partner. This is exactly what I was ordered to do, and I am one of the Muslims (who submitted to the Almighty Creator).”

At this moment, according to the madhhab of Imam Abu Hanifa, men should place their hands below the navel. The thumb and little finger of the right hand clasp the wrist of the left. In the Shafi'i madhhab, the hands should be above the navel, but below the chest. Malikis usually have their hands down. In the Hanbali madhhab there is no consensus on where exactly to place the hands - below or above the navel. The solution to this issue is left to the discretion of the most devout.

Rakaat No. 1.

Standing - kyyam

Following the dua-sana, formulas are read "taauz":“Aguzu bil-Lyahi min ash-shaitan ir-rajim”(“I take refuge in Allah from [the filth] of the stoned devil”), basmalla:"Bismillayah ir-Rahmaan ir-Rahiim"(“In the name of Allah [I begin the business]”) and "Fatiha". Then any other surah or consecutive Quranic verses (at least three). An example of an additional Qur'anic text that can be chanted in the first rak'ah is Surah Kausar:

“Innaa agtainaa kyal-kyausar. Fasalli li-rabbikya wa-ankhar. Innaa shaa niyakya huwal-abetar" (108:1-3)

Translation of meaning (according to E. Kuliev):“We have given you Abundance (the river in Paradise, which is called al-Kawsar). Therefore perform prayer for the sake of your Lord and slaughter the sacrifice. Truly, your hater will himself be childless.”

The vertical position of the person praying when reading “Fatiha” and other parts of the Koranic text is called “kyyam” (standing).

Bow bow - hand’

Next, the believer makes a bow from the waist (ruku’ or rukug), rests his palms with fingers slightly apart on his kneecaps, as shown in the photo, trying to keep his back straight parallel to the floor, and says to himself three times: "SubhanaRabbial-Gaziym"(“Pure is my Great Lord”). Then you should get out of the “ruku” state into a vertical position with the words: "SamigAllahu li-man hamida"(“Allah hears the one who pronounces praises”). Then the worshiper pronounces the formula to himself: "Rabbana lakal-hamde"(“O our Lord, to You be praise”). When exiting the waist bow, the person’s arms are lowered along the body.

Let us note that in the Shafi'i and Hanbali madhhabs, before starting the bow, a person must raise his hands, as in the case of takbir tahrim among the Hanafis and Malikis. At the same time, for the latter, this movement within prayers with an even number of rakats is uncharacteristic.

Prostration - Sujud

The next element of prayer is sajd (or sajdah) - prostration with the words tabir tahrim. Opinions in different madhhabs differed on how to perform this action. Most Muslim scholars of different schools, relying on the Sunnah of the Grace of the Worlds of Muhammad (s.g.w.), stated that first the knees are lowered to the floor, then the hands and, finally, the head, which is located between the hands. In the Shafi'i madhhab, hands are placed at shoulder level. The fingertips must be kept not torn off the floor and directed towards Kyibla. There is no need to close your eyes in Sujud.

Sajda symbolizes the submission of the faithful to the will of the Almighty. In fact, this is the main element of prayer - a person lowers his most important and highest part of the body (head) to the very bottom (floor/ground). It is necessary that both the forehead and the tip of the nose touch the surface, and that the toes do not leave the floor. In this position the words are pronounced three times "Subhana Rabbial-Aglya"(“Pure is My Lord, Who is Above All”). The worshiper leaves the sujud with the takbir “Allahu Akbar.” At the same time, first he raises his head, then his arms and sits down on his left leg. In a sitting position, the hands are placed on the hips so that the fingers touch the knees. The believer remains in this position for several seconds, after which he again bows to the ground according to the algorithm described here.

Exit from sajda in odd rakats is carried out in such a way that first the worshiper lifts his face from the floor, then his hands. The person returns to a vertical position (with the words “Allahu Akbar”), similar to the qiyam of the first rak’ah. Thus, the second rak'ah of prayer begins.

Rakaat No. 2

In qiyam, Surah “Fatihah” is again read first, followed by any other sura or at least three successive verses. However, these must be different from the passages used in the first rak’ah. For example, let’s take Surah “Ikhlas”:

“Kul hu Allahu ahade. Allahu samade. Lam yalide wa lam yulade. Wa lam ya kul lahu kufuan ahade” (112:1-4)

Translation of meaning:“Say: “He is Allah the One, Allah the Self-sufficient. He did not beget and was not begotten, and there is none equal to Him.”

Tashahhud

In the second rak'ah, the Muslim makes bows and bows to the ground, similar to those performed in the first rak'ah. The only difference is that after Sujud, the worshiper remains in a sitting position - quud (in this case, the right foot is positioned perpendicular to the floor, and its toes should be directed towards Qibla, while the left foot lies freely, pressing its upper part to the floor under the weight of the worshiper) and says to himself dua tashahhud:

“At-tahiyatu lillahi was-salauatu uat-tayibat. As-salamu galaikya, ayukhan-nabiyu, wa rahmatullahi wa barakatukh. As-salamu alaina wa ala gyybadillyahis-salihin. Ashkhadu alaya-ilayaha illallahu wa ashhadu an-na Muhammadan gabuduhu wa rasulyukh"

Translation:“Salutations to Allah, prayers and excellent expressions, peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings, peace be upon us and the righteous servants of Allah. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and His messenger.”

A desirable action (mustahab) when sitting and reading tashahhud is considered to be raising the index finger of the right hand while reciting to oneself a fragment of the shahada about faith in the Almighty (“Ashkhadu alaya-ilayaha illallahu”). On the next sentence (“wa ashhadu an-na Muhammadan gabuduhu wa rasulukh”) you need to lower your finger and return the brush to its original state.

Salavat

Following the tashahhud, if the prayer consists of two rak'ahs (for example, sunnat and fard in morning prayer, sunnat in midday, evening and night prayers), salawat is read. This is actually a prayer for the Final Messenger of God (s.g.v.), consisting of two similar parts:

“Allahumma salli ‘ala Muhammadin wa ‘ala ali Muhammad. Kamaa salayta ‘ala Ibrahiima wa ‘ala ali Ibrahiima, in-nakya Hamiyidun Majid. Allahumma barik ‘ala Muhammadin wa ‘ala ali Muhammad. Kamaa barakta ‘ala Ibrahiima wa ‘ala ali Ibrahiima, in-nakya Hamiyidun Majid"

Translation:“O Allah, bless (mention with praise among the angels) Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You blessed Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. Verily, You are Worthy of Praise. Glorious! O Allah, send blessings (continue to exalt) on Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You did on Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. Verily, You are Praiseworthy, Glorious!”

At the end of the salavat it is read Ayah from Surah Bakara:

“Rabbanya attina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil akhirati hasanatan, wa kyina gazabannar” (2:201)

Translation of meaning:“Our Lord! Grant us goodness in this world and goodness in the Hereafter, and protect us from torment in the Fire.”

Salam

Following this, the worshiper, alternately turning his face left and right and looking at his shoulders, says salam:

“As-Salamu halaykum wa rahmatullah”

Translation: "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah."

There are many opinions as to who exactly the greeting is addressed to. To summarize the different points of view, this action symbolizes the greeting that the believer pronounces to other worshipers, angels who record human deeds, and Muslim jinn.

At this point, the prayer, consisting of two rak'ahs, ends. After salam, the worshiper says the word three times "Astagfirullah"(“Forgive me, Lord”) And ends the prayer with dua:

“Allahumma antyas-salamu wa minkyas-salayam, tabaraktya ya-zal-jalyali wal-ikram”

Translation: “O Allah, You are peace, and from You alone comes peace. Give us a blessing."

The person praying pronounces these words with his hands raised at chest level. After that, he lowers his hands, running them over his face.

The reading of the prayer is clearly demonstrated in the video.

Important Features

The parts of prayer that are sunnat are performed in such a way that the believer says all the words to himself. In the fard part things are a little different. Takbir tahrim, the rest of the takbirs when performing ruku and sajdah, salam are pronounced out loud. At the same time, in the fards of morning, evening and night prayers in the first pair of rakats, “Al-Fatiha” and an additional surah (or verses) are also read loudly to the worshipers.

Namaz, consisting of 4 rak'ahs, is performed in almost the same way. The only difference is that in the 2nd rak'ah after tashahhud, the worshiper must stand on the 3rd rak'ah and perform it like the first, and the 4th like the second with salawat, salam and the final dua. It should be noted here that in four-rakah fard prayers, during standing (qiyam) in the 3rd and 4th rak'ahs after Fatiha, not a single short surah is read. Instead, the believer immediately bows from the waist.

A similar procedure for performing namaz is characteristic of all Sunni madhhabs.

Number of rak'ahs, names and all five prayers

Morning prayer (Fajr)- two rak'ahs of sunnat and two fard.

Time: from dawn to early sunrise. The hadith of the Final Messenger of God (s.g.w.) states that “if a person manages to perform the first rak’ah of the morning prayer (meaning its fard part) before sunrise, then his prayer is counted” (Bukhari). If the believer is late, then this prayer must be re-read half an hour after the sun rises.

Midday prayer (zuhr, oilya)- four rakats are sunnat, four farda and two sunnat.

Time: from the moment when the celestial body ceases to be at the zenith (zaval), and until the moment when the shadow of the object is larger than itself. There is disagreement in the theological community on the issue of the release of the time for midday prayer. Imam Agzam Abu Hanifa believed that this moment occurs when the shadow of an object is twice its length. However, other Hanafis, as well as representatives of the other three madhhabs, insisted on the position that the time for the Zuhr prayer expires as soon as the shadow becomes larger than the object.

Pre-evening prayer (Asr, Ikende)- four rakats of fard.

Time: from the moment when the shadow of an object is larger than itself, until sunset. There is a special formula for calculating the time of pre-evening prayer, thanks to which you can determine approximately when you should start praying. To do this, you need to know exactly when the celestial body leaves its zenith and at what time sunset occurs. This period is divided into 7 parts, of which 4 are allocated for the time of Zuhr prayer, and 3 for Asr prayer.

Evening prayer (Maghrib, Akhsham)- three rakats of fard and two sunnat.

Time: after sunset and before the evening dawn disappears.

The prayer, which consists of three rak'ahs, is performed in such a way that after the tashahhud of the second rak'ah, the believer rises to the third. Within its framework, he silently recites Surah “Fatiha” and bows from the waist. This is followed by a way out of this situation, bowing to the ground and sitting (kuud), within which the believer reads tashahhud, salavat, a verse from Surah “Bakara”, says greeting (salaam) and completes the prayer.

Night prayer (isha, yastu)- 4 rakats of fard and two sunnat.

Time: from the disappearance of the evening dawn to the beginning of the morning dawn.

Times when it is forbidden to pray

In one of his hadiths, the Mercy of the Worlds, Muhammad (s.g.w.), forbade the reading of prayer (salat):

1) when the sun rises until it rises, i.e. approximately 30 minutes after sunrise;

2) when the celestial body is at its zenith;

3) when the sun sets.

(A hadith with a similar meaning is cited by Bukhari, Muslim, an-Nasai, Ibn Majah).

Let us note that the sunnat parts of the five obligatory prayers mentioned above belong to the sunnah-muakkadah. These are the voluntary actions that the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) never missed. However, there is a subtype of sunnah that the Final Messenger of the Almighty (s.g.w.) could sometimes miss. In fiqh, such actions are called “sunna ghair muakkada.” Let us list the cases when this sunnah occurs in relation to prayer:

1. Four rak'ahs before, that is, before the fard part of the prayer.

2. Two rakats after the midday (zuhr) prayer, that is, after two rakats of the sunnah-muakkad of this prayer.

3. Two rakats after the night prayer (isha), that is, after two rakats of the sunnah-muakkad of this prayer.

4. Two rakats after Friday prayer, that is, after the last four rakats of the sunnah-muakkad of juma prayer.

May your prayer be accepted by Allah!

Procedure for performing the midday prayer

The midday prayer consists of four rak'ahs (cycles). It is done as follows:

1. Having previously fulfilled all the conditions necessary to begin performing prayer, face the revered Kaaba, discarding all extraneous thoughts. Turn your heart and attention to Allah, thinking of His Greatness, mercy and love for His creatures, with the awareness that He is watching over you. In this case, the legs should be shoulder-width apart, the feet should be on the same line, the arms should be lowered, the gaze should be directed to the place where the forehead touches when bowing to the ground.

During the entire prayer, women need to show composure of their body: their legs should be together, their hands should be pressed to the body;

2. Intention.

Starting prayer, Necessarily make the intention in your heart to perform the appropriate prayer. Do this at the same time as saying takbira, that is, the words “Allahu Akbar” for entering prayer. For example: “I intend to perform the obligatory (fard) midday prayer for the sake of Allah.”. That is, you must mentally express your intention to perform namaz, indicate in it that you are performing the obligatory (farz) prayer, and what kind of prayer (morning, midday or afternoon, etc.). It is advisable to indicate in the intention whether this is a timely prayer or a refundable one, as well as the number of rakats. It should be remembered that prayer is performed only for the sake of Allah.

However, before takbir, it is sunnah to first say the intention out loud, and this is done so that it is easier to focus on it mentally.

3. Saying takbir.

Necessarily standing, recite the introductory takbir:

اَللهُ اَكْبَرُ

"Allahu Akbar" (Allah is great). After pronouncing it, you are already in prayer. Takbir and subsequent verbal arcana and prayers should be pronounced so that you yourself can hear the reading, observing, as expected, all the rules of reading and pronouncing the letters without distortion, without adding or subtracting a single letter. All prayers must be read only while exhaling.

When pronouncing takbir, it is recommended to raise your hands so that your thumbs are at the level of your earlobes, your palms are facing forward, and the remaining fingers are slightly bent and also pointing forward.
Women also raise their hands in the same way.

4. Standing.

Necessarily stand while performing ritual prayer, if a person can. In this case, it is recommended to fold your hands below the chest and above the navel so that the right palm is on the wrist of the left hand and holds it.

5. Reading Surah Al-Fatihah(first sura of the Koran).

Necessarily reading Surah Al-Fatihah so that they themselves can hear the reading, observing all the rules of reading (tajweed) and the sequence of verses and pronouncing the letters without distortion. The correct reading of Surah Al-Fatihah must be learned directly from the lips of a competent teacher and this should be done without delay.

If someone cannot recite Surah Al-Fatihah correctly, then he should recite any verses of the Holy Quran whose total number of letters is equivalent to the number of letters in Surah Al-Fatihah (156 letters). If a person knows one or more verses from Surah Al-Fatihah (Basmala is also a verse in Surah Al-Fatihah), he can repeat them so many times to get the same number of letters as in Surah Al-Fatihah " If a person cannot read anything from the Quran, he should read the words of remembrance of Allah (dhikr):

سُبْحانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلهِ وَلآ إِلهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ واَللهُ اَكْبَرُ

“Subhanallahi, wal-hamdulillahi, wala ilaha illallahu wallahu akbar”
(Allah is pure from all shortcomings, praise and glory be to Allah, there is nothing worthy of worship except Allah, Allah is Great).

The worshiper pronounces these words so many times that there are at least the same number of letters as in Surah Al-Fatihah. For example, it is enough to say the words “Allahu Akbar” twenty times. If a person cannot read either Surah Al-Fatihah or anything else from the Koran, cannot read dhikr (for example, a person who has just accepted faith), then he stands silently for as long as it takes a moderate reading of the sura. Al-Fatiha."

آمينَ يا رَبَّ الْعالَمينَ

"Amin, I am Rabbal-'alamin"

(O Allah, Lord of the worlds, fulfill my request!).

It is also advisable to read after Surah Al-Fatihah at least one or three verses from the Koran in the first and second rak'ahs. Before reading Surah Al-Fatihah in the first rak'ah, it is recommended to read the prayer "Iftitah" (see Appendix 5) and then "Isti'az".

6. Bow from the waist(hand‘).

After reading Surah Al-Fatihah Necessarily bow from the waist so that the palms of both hands rest on the cups of your knees. In this case, the elbows are slightly moved to the sides, the back, neck and head are in one straight line. In this position you need to stay in a state of rest. for a while(at least for a time sufficient to pronounce “Subhanallah”). This delay is called "fog". It should be noted that bowing, like all other subsequent actions of prayer, should not be performed for any other purpose than to fulfill an element of prayer. It is recommended that when performing a bow from the waist, raise your hands to ear level in the same way as when entering prayer, and say: “Allahu Akbar.” Also, during a bow, it is advisable to say three times:

سُبْحانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظيمِ وَبِحَمْدِه

“Subhana Rabbiyal-‘azimi va bihamdihi”

(My Great Lord is above all shortcomings, praise be to Him).

7. Straightening(i'tidal).

Necessarily return after bowing to the starting position “standing” and stay in this position for a while (tumanina). It is recommended that while straightening, raise your hands to ear level, as before, and say:

سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ

"Sami'Allahu liman hamidah"

(Allah accepts the praises of the one who praises Him), stretching the pronunciation over the entire period of straightening. After you have finally straightened up, it is advisable to say:

رَبَّنا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ

"Rabbana lakal-hamd"

(O our Lord! Praise be to You!).

8. Prostration(sujud).

Then Necessarily bow to the ground, pressing your forehead to the floor (rug). To do this, first kneel down, then lean forward, rest both hands on the floor and touch the floor with your forehead. Part of both knees, part of the palms of both hands, the bottom of the toes (with the fingers pointing towards the Qibla) and part of the forehead (the nose also touches the floor) should touch the floor. At the same time, the weight of the head presses on the forehead. Stay in this position for some time, during which it is recommended to say three times:

سُبْحانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلى وَبِحَمْدِه

"Subhana Rabbiyal-a'la wa bihamdihi"

(My Great Lord is above all shortcomings, praise be to Him).

It is also recommended to say “Allahu Akbar” before bowing to the ground. When bowing to the ground, it is desirable that the hands are at shoulder level, the fingers are slightly pressed together and directed towards the Kaaba. For men, it is recommended that when bowing to the ground, the elbows should be moved to the sides and raised from the floor, the stomach should not touch the hips. Women, when bowing to the ground and from the waist, keep their elbows pressed to the body, and when bowing to the ground, the elbows are also raised from the floor, but the stomach touches the hips.

There should be no obstacles between the forehead and the place where it rests, for example, hair, a hat or a scarf, at least part of the forehead should touch the floor directly.

9. Sitting between two prostrations.

Necessarily after bowing to the ground, sit down, straightening your torso, and remain in this position for some time. When rising from a prostration, it is advisable to say “Allahu Akbar.” While in a sitting position, it is recommended to say:

رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لي وَارْحَمْني وَاجْبُرْني وَارْفَعْني وَارْزُقْني وَاهْدِني وَعافِني

“Rabbigfir li, warhamni, vajburni, warfa‘ni, warzukni, vahdini, wa‘afini.”

(Oh my Lord! Give me forgiveness, have mercy on me, help me, raise my level, give me food, lead me further along the true path and protect me from illnesses).

When sitting, it is recommended to tuck your left leg under you so that your foot is under your buttocks, while your right foot is positioned vertically on the floor and rests on your toes pointing forward, towards the Qibla, as if bowing to the ground. This way of sitting is called "iftirash". It is recommended to place your hands on your knees while sitting, with your fingers pointing towards the Kaaba.

10. Required execute second prostration. It is performed in the same way as the first one. At the same time, bending down and rising, say takbir. With the performance of the second prostration, the first rak'ah (cycle) of prayer ends.

11. After that Necessarily need to stand up full length for execution second rak'ah. To do this, first take the “sitting on your knees” position, then, resting your hands on the floor, palms down, stand up to your full height and take the “standing” position, as at the beginning of the previous rakah. During the ascent, it is recommended to say “Allahu Akbar”. Repeat after this all points from 5 to 10. This ends the second rak'ah.

12. After the second prostration of the second rak'ah (in prayers consisting of 3 or 4 rak'ahs), it is recommended to sit down and read "Tashahhud"(its other name is “At-Tahiyat”, and after it “Salavat” Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It is advisable to sit in the “iftirash” position (see point 9). If necessary, you can sit on both crossed feet.

It is recommended to keep both hands on your knees. The fingers of the left hand lie on the left knee and are directed towards the Kaaba, the fingers of the right hand lie on the right knee, except for the index, which rises slightly when pronouncing “Illallah” (in “Tashahhud”) and remains in this position until the end of the sitting. In this case, the gaze from the place where the forehead touches is directed to the rising index finger, even if you cannot see it due to darkness or for another reason. The raised finger is slightly bent, the middle, ring and little fingers of the right hand are slightly clenched into a fist, and the thumb is lightly pressed against the index finger.

13. Then Necessarily necessary stand up and perform the next two rak'ahs in the same way as described in paragraphs 5 - 11. When getting up on the third rak'ah, it is recommended to raise your hands to the level of your ears, while simultaneously saying “Allahu Akbar.” However, you should not raise your hands before the fourth rak'ah.

14. After performing the second sajda in the last rakah Necessarily sit down and read “Tashahhud” and “Salavat”. It is recommended to hold your hands as indicated in paragraph 12. The index finger is slightly raised when pronouncing “Illallah” and remains in this position until the end of the prayer. It is recommended to sit on the floor, bending your left leg and putting it under your right leg, which remains in the same position as when bowing to the ground (Fig.9). This way of sitting is called "tawarruk".
However, after “Tashahhud” it is recommended to read “as-Salat al-Ibrahimiya” in full, then it is advisable to say dua. You can also read this famous dua:

اَللّهُمَّ إِنّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذابِ جَهَنَّمَ وَمِنْ عَذابِ الْقَبْرِ وَمِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيا وَالْمَماتِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسيحِ الدَّجّالِ

“Allahumma inni a‘u h u bik min 'a h abi jahannama wa min 'a h abil-kabri wa min fitnatil-makhya val-mamati wa min sharri fitnatil-masihi-ddajjali.”

(O Allah! I seek help and salvation from You from the torments of Hell, and from the torments of the grave, from the delusions of life and death and from the evil of the turmoil of the false messiah Dajjal).

15. Final “Salaam”.

Completing the prayer, Necessarily pronounce "As-Salamu 'alaikum", but it is recommended to say:

اَلسَّلامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ

“As-Salamu ‘alaikum wa rahmatullah”, turning your head first to the right, then to the left. The midday prayer ends with the recitation of these words.

Procedure for performing afternoon and night prayers

Afternoon and night prayers are performed in the same way as midday prayers. The intention should indicate that the obligatory afternoon (or night) prayer is performed. In the first two rak'ahs of the night prayer, men are recommended to read a short surah out loud after Surah Al-Fatihah. This is also allowed for women if there are no strangers nearby.

Procedure for performing evening namza

The three rak'ahs of the evening prayer are performed in the same way as the first three rak'ahs of the night prayer, but with the intention of performing the obligatory evening prayer. After the second sajda of the third rak'ah, paragraphs 14 and 15.

Procedure for performing morning prayer

The two rakats of the morning prayer are performed in the same way as the first two rakats of the night prayer, but with the intention of performing the obligatory morning prayer.

After the second sajdah of the second rak'ah, perform paragraphs 14 and 15. Also after saying "Rabbana lakal-hamd", straightening up after bowing from the waist (in i'tidal) the second rak'ah, it is recommended to read the dua "Qunut".

"It was narrated by Imams an-Nawawi and Ibn Hibban that one day a certain person came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked: “O Messenger of Allah! Truly, I cannot learn to read the Koran. Teach me what will replace reading the Koran.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: “Say: subhanallahi, wal-hamdulillahi, wala ilaha illallahu wallahu akbar, wala hawla wala quwwata illya billahil-'aliyil-'azim."
“In another saying, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “If you can read the Koran, then read it. If not, then read: al-hamdu lillah, la ilaha illallah, Allahu akbar.”

“When reading “Salavat” in “Tashahhud” of obligatory prayers, the word “sallim” is not pronounced. “Tashahhud” is read without this word.”

"Having said “Salam” and turning your head to the right, it is advisable to mentally greet all the believers (people, angels and jinn) who are on your right side. Then, in the same way, turn your head to the left and say “Salam”, while mentally making the intention to greet everyone believers on your left."

Namaz, as is known,- one of the most important pillars of Islam. Through prayer, a servant of Allah worships his Lord through body and spirit.

In the Holy Book of Islam and the Noble Sunnah of the Final Messenger of the Almighty (s.a.w.) there are many references to the importance of prayer for believers. Thus, in Surah “Spider” our Creator actually commands us to perform prayer:

“Read what is revealed to you from the Scripture and perform prayer. Indeed, prayer protects from abomination and reprehensible" (29:45)

The practice of Sunni Islam rests on four madhhabs, the presence of which marks the flexibility of the entire religious system. In this material we will tell you how prayer is read by men within the framework of these generally accepted theological and legal schools in Sunnism. Due to the fact that the Hanafi madhhab dominates among Russian-speaking Muslims, video material on the procedure for performing prayer according to this particular theological and legal school will be presented as an illustration.

Let us recall that the mandatory conditions for recognition of prayer as valid are: a person’s confession of Islam and his spiritual fullness, adulthood (from the point of view of Sharia), prayer at a strictly established time for it. (prayer schedule for Russian cities is presented), the presence of taharat, cleanliness of clothing and the place where namaz is performed, observance of the aura (so that private parts are not exposed during prostrations), turning to the Qibla (Kaaba), the person’s intention to read namaz.

Let us describe the step-by-step performance of prayer using a specific example with a video.

The order of reading the prayer

(using the morning example)

This prayer includes two rak'ahs of sunnat and farda. The believer must initially say out loud or silently to himself: intention(niyat) to perform morning prayer. It goes on to say takbir tahrim - "Allahu Akbar!"(“Allah is great!”). This type of takbir indicates the beginning of prayer. After it, a person is prohibited from uttering extraneous words and making movements not directly related to prayer. Otherwise, it will not be considered completed.

It is important to pay attention to how the hands are positioned during takbir tahrim. The Hanafi and Maliki madhhabs affirm the need at the sunnah level for men to raise their hands to the back of their heads and touch their earlobes with their thumbs, while in the Shafi'i and Hanbali schools this is not necessary. After this action it reads dua-sana:

“SubhanakAllahumma wa bihamdika, wa tabarakasmuka, wa taala jadduka, wa la ilaha gairuk”

Translation:“Glory and praise to you, Allah! Your name is pious, Your greatness is above all. And there is no one worthy of worship except You."

Note that within the Shafi'i madhhab used another dua-sana:

“Uadzhyakhtu wajhiya lil-lyaziya fataras-samauaati wal-ard, haniifam-muslima, wa ma ana min al-mushrikin, innas-salati wa nusuki, wa makhyaya, wa mamati lil-lyahi rabbil-'alamin, la sharika lyakh, wa bi zalikya umirtu wa ana minal-muslimin"

Translation:“I turn my face to Him who made the heavens and the earth. And I'm not a polytheist. Truly, my prayer and my good behavior, life and death belong only to Allah - the Lord of the worlds, Who has no partner. This is exactly what I was ordered to do, and I am one of the Muslims (who submitted to the Almighty Creator).”

At this moment, according to the madhhab of Imam Abu Hanifa, men should place their hands below the navel. The thumb and little finger of the right hand clasp the wrist of the left. In the Shafi'i madhhab, the hands should be above the navel, but below the chest. Malikis usually have their hands down. In the Hanbali madhhab there is no consensus on where exactly to place the hands - below or above the navel. The solution to this issue is left to the discretion of the most devout.

Rakaat No. 1.

Standing - kyyam

Following the dua-sana, formulas are read "taauz":“Aguzu bil-Lyahi min ash-shaitan ir-rajim”(“I take refuge in Allah from [the filth] of the stoned devil”), basmalla:"Bismillayah ir-Rahmaan ir-Rahiim"(“In the name of Allah [I begin the business]”) and "Fatiha". Then any other surah or consecutive Quranic verses (at least three). An example of an additional Qur'anic text that can be chanted in the first rak'ah is Surah Kausar:

“Innaa agtainaa kyal-kyausar. Fasalli li-rabbikya wa-ankhar. Innaa shaa niyakya huwal-abetar" (108:1-3)

Translation of meaning (according to E. Kuliev):“We have given you Abundance (the river in Paradise, which is called al-Kawsar). Therefore perform prayer for the sake of your Lord and slaughter the sacrifice. Truly, your hater will himself be childless.”

The vertical position of the person praying when reading “Fatiha” and other parts of the Koranic text is called “kyyam” (standing).

Bow bow - hand’

Next, the believer makes a bow from the waist (ruku’ or rukug), rests his palms with fingers slightly apart on his kneecaps, as shown in the photo, trying to keep his back straight parallel to the floor, and says to himself three times: "SubhanaRabbial-Gaziym"(“Pure is my Great Lord”). Then you should get out of the “ruku” state into a vertical position with the words: "SamigAllahu li-man hamida"(“Allah hears the one who pronounces praises”). Then the worshiper pronounces the formula to himself: "Rabbana lakal-hamde"(“O our Lord, to You be praise”). When exiting the waist bow, the person’s arms are lowered along the body.

Let us note that in the Shafi'i and Hanbali madhhabs, before starting the bow, a person must raise his hands, as in the case of takbir tahrim among the Hanafis and Malikis. At the same time, for the latter, this movement within prayers with an even number of rakats is uncharacteristic.

Prostration - Sujud

The next element of prayer is sajd (or sajdah) - prostration with the words tabir tahrim. Opinions in different madhhabs differed on how to perform this action. Most Muslim scholars of different schools, relying on the Sunnah of the Grace of the Worlds of Muhammad (s.g.w.), stated that first the knees are lowered to the floor, then the hands and, finally, the head, which is located between the hands. In the Shafi'i madhhab, hands are placed at shoulder level. The fingertips must be kept not torn off the floor and directed towards Kyibla. There is no need to close your eyes in Sujud.

Sajda symbolizes the submission of the faithful to the will of the Almighty. In fact, this is the main element of prayer - a person lowers his most important and highest part of the body (head) to the very bottom (floor/ground). It is necessary that both the forehead and the tip of the nose touch the surface, and that the toes do not leave the floor. In this position the words are pronounced three times "Subhana Rabbial-Aglya"(“Pure is My Lord, Who is Above All”). The worshiper leaves the sujud with the takbir “Allahu Akbar.” At the same time, first he raises his head, then his arms and sits down on his left leg. In a sitting position, the hands are placed on the hips so that the fingers touch the knees. The believer remains in this position for several seconds, after which he again bows to the ground according to the algorithm described here.

Exit from sajda in odd rakats is carried out in such a way that first the worshiper lifts his face from the floor, then his hands. The person returns to a vertical position (with the words “Allahu Akbar”), similar to the qiyam of the first rak’ah. Thus, the second rak'ah of prayer begins.

Rakaat No. 2

In qiyam, Surah “Fatihah” is again read first, followed by any other sura or at least three successive verses. However, these must be different from the passages used in the first rak’ah. For example, let’s take Surah “Ikhlas”:

“Kul hu Allahu ahade. Allahu samade. Lam yalide wa lam yulade. Wa lam ya kul lahu kufuan ahade” (112:1-4)

Translation of meaning:“Say: “He is Allah the One, Allah the Self-sufficient. He did not beget and was not begotten, and there is none equal to Him.”

Tashahhud

In the second rak'ah, the Muslim makes bows and bows to the ground, similar to those performed in the first rak'ah. The only difference is that after Sujud, the worshiper remains in a sitting position - quud (in this case, the right foot is positioned perpendicular to the floor, and its toes should be directed towards Qibla, while the left foot lies freely, pressing its upper part to the floor under the weight of the worshiper) and says to himself dua tashahhud:

“At-tahiyatu lillahi was-salauatu uat-tayibat. As-salamu galaikya, ayukhan-nabiyu, wa rahmatullahi wa barakatukh. As-salamu alaina wa ala gyybadillyahis-salihin. Ashkhadu alaya-ilayaha illallahu wa ashhadu an-na Muhammadan gabuduhu wa rasulyukh"

Translation:“Salutations to Allah, prayers and excellent expressions, peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings, peace be upon us and the righteous servants of Allah. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and His messenger.”

A desirable action (mustahab) when sitting and reading tashahhud is considered to be raising the index finger of the right hand while reciting to oneself a fragment of the shahada about faith in the Almighty (“Ashkhadu alaya-ilayaha illallahu”). On the next sentence (“wa ashhadu an-na Muhammadan gabuduhu wa rasulukh”) you need to lower your finger and return the brush to its original state.

Salavat

Following the tashahhud, if the prayer consists of two rak'ahs (for example, sunnat and fard in morning prayer, sunnat in midday, evening and night prayers), salawat is read. This is actually a prayer for the Final Messenger of God (s.g.v.), consisting of two similar parts:

“Allahumma salli ‘ala Muhammadin wa ‘ala ali Muhammad. Kamaa salayta ‘ala Ibrahiima wa ‘ala ali Ibrahiima, in-nakya Hamiyidun Majid. Allahumma barik ‘ala Muhammadin wa ‘ala ali Muhammad. Kamaa barakta ‘ala Ibrahiima wa ‘ala ali Ibrahiima, in-nakya Hamiyidun Majid"

Translation:“O Allah, bless (mention with praise among the angels) Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You blessed Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. Verily, You are Worthy of Praise. Glorious! O Allah, send blessings (continue to exalt) on Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You did on Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. Verily, You are Praiseworthy, Glorious!”

At the end of the salavat it is read Ayah from Surah Bakara:

“Rabbanya attina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil akhirati hasanatan, wa kyina gazabannar” (2:201)

Translation of meaning:“Our Lord! Grant us goodness in this world and goodness in the Hereafter, and protect us from torment in the Fire.”

Salam

Following this, the worshiper, alternately turning his face left and right and looking at his shoulders, says salam:

“As-Salamu halaykum wa rahmatullah”

Translation: "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah."

There are many opinions as to who exactly the greeting is addressed to. To summarize the different points of view, this action symbolizes the greeting that the believer pronounces to other worshipers, angels who record human deeds, and Muslim jinn.

At this point, the prayer, consisting of two rak'ahs, ends. After salam, the worshiper says the word three times "Astagfirullah"(“Forgive me, Lord”) And ends the prayer with dua:

“Allahumma antyas-salamu wa minkyas-salayam, tabaraktya ya-zal-jalyali wal-ikram”

Translation: “O Allah, You are peace, and from You alone comes peace. Give us a blessing."

The person praying pronounces these words with his hands raised at chest level. After that, he lowers his hands, running them over his face.

The reading of the prayer is clearly demonstrated in the video.

Important Features

The parts of prayer that are sunnat are performed in such a way that the believer says all the words to himself. In the fard part things are a little different. Takbir tahrim, the rest of the takbirs when performing ruku and sajdah, salam are pronounced out loud. At the same time, in the fards of morning, evening and night prayers in the first pair of rakats, “Al-Fatiha” and an additional surah (or verses) are also read loudly to the worshipers.

Namaz, consisting of 4 rak'ahs, is performed in almost the same way. The only difference is that in the 2nd rak'ah after tashahhud, the worshiper must stand on the 3rd rak'ah and perform it like the first, and the 4th like the second with salawat, salam and the final dua. It should be noted here that in four-rakah fard prayers, during standing (qiyam) in the 3rd and 4th rak'ahs after Fatiha, not a single short surah is read. Instead, the believer immediately bows from the waist.

A similar procedure for performing namaz is characteristic of all Sunni madhhabs.

Number of rak'ahs, names and all five prayers

Morning prayer (Fajr)- two rak'ahs of sunnat and two fard.

Time: from dawn to early sunrise. The hadith of the Final Messenger of God (s.g.w.) states that “if a person manages to perform the first rak’ah of the morning prayer (meaning its fard part) before sunrise, then his prayer is counted” (Bukhari). If the believer is late, then this prayer must be re-read half an hour after the sun rises.

Midday prayer (zuhr, oilya)- four rakats are sunnat, four farda and two sunnat.

Time: from the moment when the celestial body ceases to be at the zenith (zaval), and until the moment when the shadow of the object is larger than itself. There is disagreement in the theological community on the issue of the release of the time for midday prayer. Imam Agzam Abu Hanifa believed that this moment occurs when the shadow of an object is twice its length. However, other Hanafis, as well as representatives of the other three madhhabs, insisted on the position that the time for the Zuhr prayer expires as soon as the shadow becomes larger than the object.

Pre-evening prayer (Asr, Ikende)- four rakats of fard.

Time: from the moment when the shadow of an object is larger than itself, until sunset. There is a special formula for calculating the time of pre-evening prayer, thanks to which you can determine approximately when you should start praying. To do this, you need to know exactly when the celestial body leaves its zenith and at what time sunset occurs. This period is divided into 7 parts, of which 4 are allocated for the time of Zuhr prayer, and 3 for Asr prayer.

Evening prayer (Maghrib, Akhsham)- three rakats of fard and two sunnat.

Time: after sunset and before the evening dawn disappears.

The prayer, which consists of three rak'ahs, is performed in such a way that after the tashahhud of the second rak'ah, the believer rises to the third. Within its framework, he silently recites Surah “Fatiha” and bows from the waist. This is followed by a way out of this situation, bowing to the ground and sitting (kuud), within which the believer reads tashahhud, salavat, a verse from Surah “Bakara”, says greeting (salaam) and completes the prayer.

Night prayer (isha, yastu)- 4 rakats of fard and two sunnat.

Time: from the disappearance of the evening dawn to the beginning of the morning dawn.

Times when it is forbidden to pray

In one of his hadiths, the Mercy of the Worlds, Muhammad (s.g.w.), forbade the reading of prayer (salat):

1) when the sun rises until it rises, i.e. approximately 30 minutes after sunrise;

2) when the celestial body is at its zenith;

3) when the sun sets.

(A hadith with a similar meaning is cited by Bukhari, Muslim, an-Nasai, Ibn Majah).

Let us note that the sunnat parts of the five obligatory prayers mentioned above belong to the sunnah-muakkadah. These are the voluntary actions that the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) never missed. However, there is a subtype of sunnah that the Final Messenger of the Almighty (s.g.w.) could sometimes miss. In fiqh, such actions are called “sunna ghair muakkada.” Let us list the cases when this sunnah occurs in relation to prayer:

1. Four rak'ahs before, that is, before the fard part of the prayer.

2. Two rakats after the midday (zuhr) prayer, that is, after two rakats of the sunnah-muakkad of this prayer.

3. Two rakats after the night prayer (isha), that is, after two rakats of the sunnah-muakkad of this prayer.

4. Two rakats after Friday prayer, that is, after the last four rakats of the sunnah-muakkad of juma prayer.

May your prayer be accepted by Allah!
