Prayer is the most important type of worship, for it displays a person’s sincerity and loyalty to God. In the words of God’s Messenger(S.A.W.), it is the pillar or main support of religious life (Daylami, al-Firdaws, 2:404). There are several kinds of prayers, as follows: Obligatory; The five daily...

An intention that leads to the appropriate intended action being taken may save a person.  An intention that does not result in any determination to bring about the intended result cannot save a person.  To have an intention means to have an aim and a purpose....

Thus a believer may attain Paradise after a short life, while an unbeliever who has lived just as long will attain eternal punishment and misery. Otherwise, according to external justice, people must be rewarded according to the amount of their good and bad deeds, as...

1. Purification From Hadath (Ritual Impurities) Before the prayer(salah), a person must be purified of ritual impurities known ashadath, which prevents the person from performing worship.

Steps 1. Prepare for prayer. Preparing for prayer includes cleaning yourself, wearing clean clothes, and finding a clean and pure place to pray.

Those who comply with the imam for the congregational prayer must make the intention for both the prayer and compliance with the imam. After the imam pronounces the opening takbîr, the congregation also performs the takbîr, and then recites Subhânaka. According to the Hanafis, the congregation does...

The Messenger always prayed to God before any action.  When we look through the books of Tradition (Hadith), we find no case in which he did not pray. As mentioned earlier, prayer is a mystery of servanthood to God, and the Messenger is the foremost in servanthood. This is...

In addition to these supplications for specific cases, the Prophet also left behind comprehensive supplications of various lengths. We present some of them here: God, I ask You for all good, including what is at hand and what is deferred, what I already know and...

Be ever mindful and protective of the Prescribed Prayers, and the Middle Prayer (the Morning or Afternoon Prayer), and stand in the presence of Allah in utmost devotion and obedience. (al-Baqarah 2:238) If they repent and (mending their ways) establish the Prescribed Prayer, and pay the Prescribed...

Surely, the Prayer restrains from all that is indecent and shameful, and all that is evil. Surely Allah’s remembrance is the greatest (of all types of worship, and not restricted to the Prayer). (al-Ankabut 29:45) Be ever mindful and protective of the Prescribed Prayers, and the Middle...

583. Abu Hurayra, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said,  “Anyone who prays in Ramadan motivated by belief and in expectation of the reward will be forgiven his past wrong actions.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Iman, 37;...

When the Prayer is done, then disperse in the land and seek (your portion) of Allah’s bounty, and mention Allah much (both by doing the Prayer and on other occasions), so that you may prosper (in both worlds). (al-Jumu’ah 62:9–10) 564. Salman al Farisi, may Allah be...

558. Abu Qatada, may Allah be pleased with him, reported said that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “When one of you enters the mosque, he should not sit down until he has prayed two units.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Salah, 60; Sahih Muslim,...

556. Abu Hurayra, may Allah be pleased with him, said,  “My friend, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered me to do three things: to fast three days every month, to do the two units of the Duha Prayer and to do the witr before sleeping.” (Sahih...

554. Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “The Witr is not an obligation like the Prescribed Prayer, but it is the tradition of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. He said, ‘Allah is single (witr) and loves odd numbers, so...

O King of Mercy, who restores life to the rocks and soil and with His grace brings those whose spirit is also open to devilry into the realm of angels-furnish us with endowments beyond our capacity and improve us in our endowments! Either show those...

You are the source for all the sparkling and fading lights.  We come into the world, grow up, and die, whereas You are the Necessarily Existent One beyond any time or space. You call hundreds of thousands into being at every moment, You manifest Your existence...

If we are like much-loved doves in Your private garden, then bless us with an unending breath and a tongue that never tires out in our requital for our existence and everything You have given us! We become enthusiastic only if You enthuse us and...

The Almighty Creator is He whose existence is the origin of all existence, whose might is the source of power for everything, and whose will is the only means by which all things and events occur. The very soul of our essence is nourished by divine...
