How to Pray

How to Pray
Five times each day, Muslims bow down to Allah in prayer. If you are learning how to pray, or are just curious about what Muslims do during prayer, follow along with these general guidelines.

Here's How:

1.Make Wud'u as its mentioned in the first post.

2.Make sure your body and place of prayer are clean. Make the intention to perform your obligatory prayer.

3.Standing, raise hands up and say "Allahu Akbar" (God is Most Great).

4.Standing with hands folded over chest, recite the first chapter of the Qur'an(Surah Fathiha)in Arabic. Then recite any other verses of the Qur'an that you would like.

5.Raise hands up, saying "Allahu Akbar." Bow, reciting three times, "Subhana rabbiyal adheem" (Glory be to my Lord Almighty).

6.Rise to standing while reciting "Sam'i Allahu liman hamidah, Rabbana wa lakal hamd" (God hears those who call upon Him; Our Lord, praise be to You).

7.Raise hands up, saying "Allahu Akbar." Prostrate on the ground, reciting three times "Subhana Rabbiyal A'ala" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High).

8.Rise to a sitting position, saying "Allahu Akbar." Prostrate again in the same manner.

9.Rise to a standing position, saying "Allahu Akbar."

10. This concludes one "rak'a" (cycle or unit of prayer). Begin again from Step 3 for the second rak'a.

11.After two rak'as, one remains sitting after the prostrations and recites the first part of the Tashahhud in Arabic.

12.If the prayer is to be longer than these two rak'as, one now stands up and begins again to complete the prayer, sitting again after all rak'as have been completed.

13.Recite the second part of the Tashahhud in Arabic.

14.Turn to the right and say "Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah" (Peace be upon you and God's blessings).When your saying the salam think that your saying this to the two aingles who is on your sholders.(Rakeeb and Atheed alaisalam)

15.Turn to the left and repeat the greeting.

Tips:

1. If Arabic is not your native tongue, learn the meanings in your language while trying to memorize the Arabic.
2. Software programs are available that can help you learn the correct positions and Arabic pronunciations. Better yet, pray with other Muslims to learn.
3. This is just a general outline; ask other muslims in your area for more infomation.If you dont have any known people mail me napster2hacker@gmail.com

A Quick Introduction To Islam

The word "Islam" is an Arabic word which means "submission to the will of God". This word comes from the same root as the Arabic word "salam", which means "peace". As such, the religion of Islam teaches that in order to achieve true peace of mind and surety of heart, one must submit to God and live according to His Divinely revealed Law. The most important truth that God revealed to mankind is that there is nothing divine or worthy of being worshipped except for Almighty God, thus all human beings should submit to Him. Continue

The Amazing Quran

Calling the Qur'an amazing is not something done only by Muslims, who have an appreciation for the book and who are pleased with it; it has been labeled amazing by non-Muslims as well. In fact, even people who hate Islam very much have still called it amazing. Continue

Women In Islam: Beyond the Stereotypes

What comes to your mind when you think of a Muslim woman? A mysterious, veiled victim of male oppression, awaiting Western liberation? A slogan-shouting terrorist? An uneducated foreigner with whom you have little or nothing in common? Unless your social circle includes Muslim friends and acquaintances, the chances are that your impressions of Muslim women have largely been formed by negative media stereotypes - images that usually have little to do with real life, and may have been designed to attract more viewers, sell more products, or gain support for someone's political agenda.

THE EXCELLENCE OF THE UMMAH OF Rasulullaah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)

The Tauba of the previous ummahs (nations) was that Allah made a halaal thing haraam due to their sins. Allah also used to write their sin on their doors or on their limbs.

However, Allah has been extremely bountiful to the ummah of Rasulullaah (sallAllaahu-alaihi-wasallam) by not exposing their sins in this manner.

Whenever the sinner turns to Allah asking for forgiveness, Allah says, “My slave has sinned and has realized that he has a Rabb Who is Forgiving and Who has the power to take him to task.” Allah then forgives the person.

Allah says, “Whoever commits a sin or oppresses himself, and then seeks forgiveness from Allah, he shall find Allah to be Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.” A person should repent every morning and evening for his sins.
