ASLAMU LAYKUM WARAHMATULAHI WABARAKAATU!


The Right Way To Pray

1- Intention (niyah)

The prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) used to say:

All actions are by intention, and every man shall have what he intended.

Note: You shouldn't say the intention by mouth cause it is Innovation Make it in your heart

2- Takbeer

The First step to enter the prayer is Takbeer .. the prophet peace be upon him used to say:

Allaahu Akbar

(notes)…

1.You should raise your hands with the takbeer. Look at the picture

2.Then you should place your right arm on you left arm

3.You should place the right arm on the back of your left palm, wrist and forearm

3.Then you should incline your head during prayer and fix

4.your sight towards the ground .... as the Prophet peace be upon him do....

3- Opening Supplications

The prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) used to say one of this opening Supplications, You can choose the easiest one for you:

1."Subhana Kallah humma wabi hamdika watabara kasmuka wata 'ala jad-duka wala ilaha ghayruk"

This means: You are Glorified, O Allaah, and Praised; Your Name is Blessed; Your Majesty is Exalted, and none has the right to worshipped but You.

2."Allah humma ba'id baynee wa bayna khatayana kama ba'adta baynal mashriqi wal maghribi, Allah humma naq-qinee min khatayaya kama yunaq-qath thuwabul abyadu minad danasi , Allah hum maghfilnee min khatayaya bil maee wath thalji wal bardi."

This means: O Allaah! Separate me (far) from my sins as you have separated (far) the East and West. O Allaah! Cleanse me of my sins as white cloth is cleansed from dirt. O Allaah! Wash me of my sins with water, ice and snow.

4- Recitation of Suratul Fatiha:

Bisimllah hir-rahman nir-raheem Alhamdu lil-lahi rab-bil 'alameen Ar-Rahma nir-raheem Maliki yawmid-deen Iyyaka na'budu wa iyyaka nasta'een
Ihdinas siratal mostaqeem Siratal lazeena an'amta 'alayhim ghayril maghdubi 'alayhim walad dal-leen ...................Ameeen


5- Recitation after Suratul Fatixa:

The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) would recite another suurah after al-Faatihah, making it long sometimes, and on other occasions making it short because of travel, cough, illness or the crying of infants

5- Bowing (Rakuuc')

After completing his recitation, the prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) would pause for a moment, then raise his hands in the way described earlier , say takbeer

Allaahu Akbar…

(Notes)

1-You should raise your hands with the takbeer. Look at the picture

2- Be careful: When you start to pray don't look at the sky because it is forbidden as the Prophet peace be upon him said :" People must refrain from looking up at the sky in prayer, or their sight will not return to them (and in one narration: or their sight will be plucked away)

Then .. you make Ruku' and say :

Subhana Rabbi yal azim

(Notes)

Be careful…
The Prophet said : Verily, I have indeed been forbidden from reciting the Qur'aan in rukoo' or sujood. In the rukoo', therefore, glorify the Supremity of the Lord, Mighty and Sublime, in it; as for the sujood, exert yourselves in supplication in it, for it is most likely that you will be answered ...so it is forbidden to read Quran in Rukoo' or Sujood

7-Straightening up from Rukoo':

Sami' Allah hu liman hamidah

Then .. while he is still standing he would say :
Rab-bana wa lakal hamd

(Notes)

When you Straightening up from Rukoo': you would raise your hands like what we discribed early in the Takbeer.

8-Prostration (The sujud):

The prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) would say takbeer:

Allaahu Akbar

& go down into sajdah saying :

Subhana Rabbi yal a'la

(Notes)

1- You should say Subhana Rabbi yal a'la three times on each Sujud .

2- The right postion of Sujud:

a)You would support yourself on your palms [and spread them]
b)put his fingers together
c)point them towards the qiblah
d)Make your nose touch the ground cause the prophet said : There is no prayer for the one whose nose does not feel as much of the ground as the forehead
e)Put your knees and toes down firmly and point with the front of the toes towards the qiblah and put your heels together and keep your feet upright.
f)These are the seven limbs on which he (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) would prostrate: the palms, the knees, the feet, and the forehead and nose.

9-Rising from Sajdah:

The prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) would raise his head from prostration while saying :
Allaahu Akbar

Then you will sit in a specific postition and say:

Rabb ighfirlee wa irhamnee

(Notes)

1- The right position of sitting down:
The Prophet peace be upon him would lay his left foot along the ground and sit on it [relaxed].
2- You should stay a while in this sitting, cause the prophet peace be upon would sit straight on his left foot, upright, until every bone returned to its position.

10-The second Sajdah

The prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) would say takbeer:

Allaahu Akbar

& go again to Sujud postition saying :

Subhana Rabbi yal a'la

(Notes)

1- You should say Subhana Rabbi yal a'la three times on each Sujud.

2- The right postion of Sujud:

a)You would support yourself on your palms [and spread them]
b)put his fingers together
c)point them towards the qiblah
d)Make your nose touch the ground cause the prophet said : There is no prayer for the one whose nose does not feel as much of the ground as the forehead
e)Put your knees and toes down firmly and point with the front of the toes towards the qiblah and put your heels together and keep your feet upright.
f)These are the seven limbs on which he (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) would prostrate: the palms, the knees, the feet, and the forehead and nose.

11- The Second Rak'a:

The prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) used to say Faatihah which we teach you how to say it in step number 3

& then do all the steps which the prophet peace be upon him did in the first Rak'a


I HOPE THIS IS USUFULL TO THOSE WHO WERE SEEKING TO LEARN HOW TO PERFORM PRAYERS (SALAAT).

Yes indeed Ilham.
Even those of us who pray 5 times a day may have some flaws, and you did a very good job into decriping it with so much detial brother Abdinasir. Thank you (Jazak'allaho khir) for taking the time to do that.
