There are many verses in Quran that show how is the prayer (salah) is important.Some of these verses are:" Recite what is sent of the book (Quran) by revelation to you and establish regular prayer, for prayer keeps you away from shameful and unjust deeds (sins)... "(Quran, chapter 29, verse 45)" Guard strictly (five obligatory) as-salawat (the prayers) especially the middle salah (ie the best prayer, Asr) and stand before Allah(God) with obedience (and don't speak to others during the salah or prayers)".(Quran, chapter 2, verse 238)" Say (O Mohamed) to Ibadi (my servants) who have believed, that they should perform as-salah (prayers) and spend in charity out of the sustenance,..."(Quran, chapter 14, verse 31)Other verses warn those give up prayers. Some of these verses are:"... there has succeeded them a posterity who have given up as-salah (the prayers) and have followed lusts. So, they will be thrown in Hell."(Quran, chapter 19, verse 59)"...So woe unto those performers of salah (prayers)(hypocrites), Those who delay their salah (prayer from their stated fixed times)...."(Quran, chapter 107, verses 4-5)Prophet Mohamed said that abandoning the Salah (prayers) expels the Muslim out of Islam religion. Salah is the first of the Islam 5 pillars after testimony. (see related question below).
The different positions involved in performing the salah are standing, bowing, prostrating, sitting, and reciting specific prayers.
No, it is not permissible to pray Salah before the designated time.
Incorporating dhikr after salah in daily prayers is significant because it helps to maintain a strong connection with Allah and serves as a reminder of His presence in our lives. Dhikr also helps to purify the heart, increase mindfulness, and bring about a sense of peace and contentment.
It is like the morning prayers , but in the first rak'ah before reading surah al fatha say allah akber seven times and five times int the second rak'ah .
In salah, there are several positions that are performed in a specific order. These positions include standing, bowing, prostrating, sitting, and reciting prayers. Each position has its own set of movements and recitations that are done in a prescribed manner. The sequence of these positions is important in performing salah correctly.
Before worship Muslims have to be sure that they are pure and clean and wearing clean clothes and must perform wudhu I.e. washing the hands, face, and feet before offering prayers
Prayers, or Salah, are a fundamental practice in Islam, serving as a means to connect with Allah and express gratitude and devotion. They are performed five times a day at specific times, allowing Muslims to pause and reflect on their faith. Through these prayers, believers seek guidance, forgiveness, and strength, reinforcing their relationship with Allah and acknowledging His mercy and greatness. Ultimately, Salah fosters a sense of community and discipline among Muslims worldwide.
The duration of Salah (prayer) can vary depending on the specific prayer and the individual's pace, but typically, each of the five daily prayers takes about 5 to 10 minutes to complete. The Fard (obligatory) prayers, like Dhuhr, Asr, and Maghrib, usually take around 5 to 7 minutes, while the longer prayers such as Isha may take slightly more time. Additional Sunnah or Nafl prayers can extend the duration. Overall, the total time spent on daily prayers can range from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the individual's practice and the number of additional units performed.
Muslims can worship inside Mosques in form of Salah, Reciting Koran, Dhikr or any other way they want to worship Allah. In addition to obligatory five prayers a day they can also say additional prayers.
The four fardh (obligatory acts) of wudhu (ablution) are washing the face, washing the hands up to the elbows, wiping a quarter of the head or the entire head, and washing the feet up to the ankles. These actions are essential for a valid wudhu before performing prayers in Islam.
