Namaz. Step-by-step guide to performing prayer

Prayer (Namaz)

While standing, express your sincere intention (niyat) to perform namaz: “For the sake of Allah, I intend to perform fard* of this morning prayer.”

• *Fard is obligatory in Islam. Failure to perform fard is considered a sin.

In this case, we give a simplified example of performing morning prayer, in which there are 2 rakats (cycles of body movements).

Remember that each prayer includes a certain number of cancers of sunnah (desirable) and fard (obligatory).

1. Morning – 2 fards.
2. Daily – 4 fards.
3. Afternoon – 4 fards.
4. Evening – 3 fards.
5. Night – 4 fards.

Raise both hands, fingers apart, with palms facing the Qibla, to ear level, touching your thumbs to your earlobes and say takbir iftitah (initial takbir) “Allahu akbar.”

Takbir. The gaze is turned to the place of soot (the place that the head touches when bowing to the ground). The palms are turned towards the Qibla, the thumbs touch the earlobes. Feet are parallel to each other. There is a distance of four fingers between them.

Then place your right hand with the palm of your left hand, clasping the wrist of your left hand with the little finger and thumb of your right hand, and lower your folded hands in this way just below your navel and read Surah Fatihah:

“Auzu billahi minashshaytaani r-rajim

Bismillahi r-rahmaani r-rahim

Alhamdu lillahi rabbil ‘alamin

Iyyakya na'budu wa iyakya nasta'iin

Ikhdina s-syraatal mystakyim

Syraatallyazina an'amta aleikhim

Gairil magdubi aleikhim valad-doolliin.

Aamin. “ (Pronounced silently)

Qiyam. The gaze is turned to the place of soot. Hands folded on the stomach, just below the navel. The thumb and little finger of the right hand wrap around the wrists of the left hand. Feet are parallel to each other. There is a distance of four fingers between them.

Having lowered your hands, say: “Allahu Akbar” and perform ruku’ (waist bow).

Ruku'. The gaze is directed to the tips of the toes. The head and back are at the same level, parallel to the surface of the place of prayer. Legs straightened. The fingers are spread apart and clasp the knees.

After ruku’ straighten your body to a vertical position.

After straightening, with the words “Allahu Akbar”, perform soot. When performing soot, you must first kneel down, then lean on both hands and, only after that, touch the soot with your forehead and nose.

Soot. The head is between the hands. The forehead and nose touch the floor. Fingers and toes should point in the direction of the Qibla. The elbows do not touch the carpet and are moved away from the body. The belly does not touch the hips. The heels are closed.

After this, with the words “Allahu Akbar,” rise from the soot to a sitting position.

After pausing in this position long enough to say “Subhanallah”, with the words “Allahu Akbar”, lower yourself into soot again.

Then, with the words “Allahu Akbar,” stand up to perform the second rak’ah. The hands close in the same place.

II rak'at (salat for a beginner)

First, as in the first rak’at, read Surah “Fatiha”, an additional surah, for example “Ikhlas” (although for beginners you can limit yourself to only reading Surah “Fatiha” - see above), perform ruku’ (upper bow) and soot.

After the second sajdah of the second rak’at, sit on your feet and read the prayer (du’a) “Attahiyyat”:

“Attahiyaty lillaahi vassalavaty vatayibyatu

Assalaam aleyke ayukhannabiyu wa rahmatyllahi wa baraka'atykh

Assalaam aleyna wa 'ala 'ibadillahi s-salihiin

Ashhad alla illaha illallah

Wa ashkhady anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasylyukh’

Attention! When pronouncing the words “la illaha,” the index finger of the right hand rises, and when saying “illa illaha,” it goes down.

Qa'da (sitting). The gaze is directed to the knees. Hands are on your knees, fingers in a free position. The landing is shifted to the shin of the left leg. The right leg is slightly moved to the side, the toes are bent towards the Qibla.

Say the greeting: “Assalamu ‘alaikum wa rahmatullah,” turning your head first towards the right shoulder and then towards the left.

Salam (greeting) to the right side. Hands on knees, fingers in a free position. The foot of the right foot is placed on the carpet at a right angle, the toes are directed towards the Qibla. The head is turned to the right, looking at the shoulder.

Salam to the left. Hands are on your knees, fingers in a free position. The foot of the right foot is placed on the carpet at a right angle, the toes are directed towards the Qibla. The head is turned to the left, looking at the shoulder.

This concludes your prayer.

In conclusion, you can turn to the Almighty Creator with your du’as.

Du'a. Hands are joined and raised, fingertips are at shoulder level. The palms are open upward and placed at an angle (approximately 45°) to the face. The thumbs are pointed to the side.

Prayers for performing namaz

Namaz is the daily sacrament of a Muslim turning to Allah through reading prayer texts five times. Prayers for namaz are divided into 5 temporary stages, each of which is mandatory.

In order to perform namaz, a devout Muslim must be spiritually prepared for the sacrament:

• perform the ritual of ablution - “takharet”;
• be sober (drugs and alcohol are prohibited the day before);
• choose a clean, quiet and well-lit place for prayer;
• Muslim clothes are selected to be clean, washed, and not lower than the ankles;
• Before resorting to sacred prayers, you must turn your face towards the Qibla (Kaaba) and read “niyat” - words indicating the intention to pray.

Prayers for namaz: types and their features

Before describing the sacrament in detail, let us consider several concepts known to every Muslim. The above-mentioned Kaaba (Qibla, Qibla) is the house of Allah. Rakaat (rakagat) is the order of words and physical actions in Muslim prayer.

Rakaats include:

• reading Sura - chapter of the Koran;
• reading Ayats (structural unit (verse) of the Koran);
• hand - bows from the waist, palms should reach the knees;
• sujud - deep (down to earth) bows; kiyam—kneeling; Taslim - greetings to those standing nearby.

According to legend, the prophet Moses dictated to Muhammad during a night journey the importance of five daily prayers (salats). Let's look at them in more detail:

• Salat assubh is a “morning prayer” performed between dawn and sunrise, which includes two rakats - fajr.
• Salat azzuhr is a ritual performed from the moment the sun is at its zenith - “midday prayer” containing four rakqats - zuhr.
• Salat Asr is an “afternoon (pre-evening) prayer” carried out immediately after Zuhr, also four-rakats.
• Salat Maghrib is a sunset (evening) prayer with three rakqat, performed in the interval after sunset until dark.
• Salat Isha is a four-rak night prayer, performed at the end of all previous salats.

Rules for performing namaz

Muslims must perform all prayers in Arabic, as prescribed in the Koran. Therefore, every true Muslim studies the Koran throughout his childhood, and not just studies, but crams the holy scripture to perfection.

Each word or phrase corresponds to a specific action (bow, handshake, kneeling, etc.). Moreover, an incorrectly applied unnecessary action or the deliberate use of incorrect speech patterns or sound distortion makes the prayer invalid.

Muslim religions strictly restrict women's rights in everyday life. These restrictions also apply to the reading of prayer. For example, it is not advisable for a woman to go to the mosque. She must pray at home, and during the ceremony she must be covered with an opaque blanket. It is forbidden for Muslim women to raise their arms high and spread their legs wide, and she must even pull in her stomach while bowing.

Daily Muslim prayers are designed to strengthen faith and perfect worship of Allah. Brought up in the strictest religious traditions, Muslims are very sensitive and strict about their beliefs and their faith; the Christian faith in this regard is inferior to Eastern religions.

For failure to perform prayer for unjustified reasons, the soul of every Muslim suffers a serious sin, which Allah immediately punishes. And a person has to pray to Allah in more serious ways than praying five times a day.

Prayer for Namaz: comments

One comment

I read the article, I didn’t understand one thing, you wrote that before reading the prayer, namely the day before, you cannot drink alcohol or drugs, in principle they cannot be used by believers doing namaz, regarding the criteria that need to be done before prayer, I can add that not only You need to be in clean clothes, and you also need to wash your face, hands and feet before prayer, thereby ridding yourself of all negativity through water. For those who find it difficult to perform namaz 5 times a day at a certain time (you are at work or have some other everyday problems), you can combine 2 namaz at one time.

How to read namaz for women: prayer for beginners

Where should a woman start performing prayer? Before answering this question, it is necessary to understand what namaz is, how to read it, and find out the procedure for performing namaz for women.

Namaz is the most important pillar of the Islamic faith, one of the five concepts that define the very essence of religion. Every Muslim man and woman is obliged to perform namaz, because this is the very worship of the Almighty, a prayer to Him and a sign that the believer completely submits to the Lord and surrenders himself to His will.

Performing namaz cleanses a person’s soul, helps illuminate his heart with the light of goodness and truth, and raises his significance in the eyes of Allah. In essence, namaz is a person’s direct communication with the Lord. Let us remember how the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) spoke about prayer: “Namaz is the support of religion. Whoever abandons prayer destroys his religion.”

For a Muslim, namaz is a way to cleanse the soul from sinful thoughts, from the human desire for vices, from the evil that has accumulated in the soul. Namaz is necessary not only for men, but also for women. Once the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him!) addressed his supporters: “Will dirt remain on your body if you bathe five times in the river that flows in front of your house?” They answered the Prophet: “O Messenger of Allah, there will be no dirt left.” The Prophet (peace be upon him!) said: “This is an example of the five prayers that a believer performs, and through this Allah washes away his sins, just as this water washes away dirt.”

What is the key, even critical, importance of prayer for a Muslim? The fact is that according to prayer on the Day of Judgment, the Lord will determine a person’s value for Himself and will consider his earthly actions. And Allah does not discriminate between men and women.

It is known that many Muslim women are afraid of the very beginning of performing namaz, because they do not know how to do it correctly. In no case can this become an obstacle to a woman’s path to fulfilling her obligations to the Lord. By not performing prayer, a woman deprives her soul of peace and tranquility; she does not receive generous rewards from Allah. Her family will not be peaceful and prosperous, and she will not be able to raise her children according to Islamic standards.

Namaz for beginners should be carried out under the supervision and with the help of experienced Muslims who are ready to help an inexperienced beginner.

How to perform namaz correctly for women?

First of all, you need to find out what salt is, how many obligatory prayers there are and how many rakats they include.

Solat is a prayer, an appeal to Allah, a namaz. The prayer consists of three parts - fard prayer, sunnah prayer, and nafl prayer. The most important step on the path to performing prayer is fard prayer, which is obligatory for every Muslim.

Rakat is the name given to the order in which certain actions are performed during prayer. The morning Ard-Fajr includes 2 rak'ahs, the midday (az-Zuhr) - 4 rak'ahs, the afternoon (al-Asr) - 4 rak'ahs, the evening or al-Maghrib - 3 rak'ahs. For the night prayer al-Isha, 4 rak'ahs are allocated.

The rakat includes one rukah (as bows from the waist are called in Islam), as well as two sajdas (as bows to the ground are called). To start performing this prayer for beginner women, it is important to memorize the suras and duas used in performing the prayer as soon as possible, learn the rakats and the order of their performance. You need to know at least 3 Quranic surahs, about 5 duas and Surah Fatiha. In addition, the woman will have to learn how to perform wudhu and ghusl.

A beginning woman can be taught how to perform namaz by her husband or relatives. You can also use training videos, of which there are many on the Internet. With the help of the video, a Muslim woman will clearly see the actions during prayer, their sequence, learn the order of reading duas and surahs, and learn to hold her hands and body in the correct position. It is worth remembering the words of al-Luknawi: “Many actions of a woman during prayer differ from the actions of men...” (“Al-Siyaya”, volume 2, p. 205).

Namaz for beginners from two rak'ahs

The morning Fajr prayer contains only two rak'ahs, so it cannot be called complex. In addition, this prayer is used when performing additional prayer.

The procedure for performing morning prayer for women is common to all Muslims. The main difference between male and female Fajr prayer is the position of the limbs. To correctly perform this type of prayer, a woman needs to not only pronounce judgments and duas in Arabic, but also be sure to understand the meaning behind them. In this article we will give the procedure for performing namaz with the translation of surahs. Of course, if a woman could attract an Arabic language teacher to memorize the surahs, this would be an ideal option. But, in the absence of one, you can use training programs. The most important point is the correct pronunciation of all words in Arabic. To make it easier for a beginner woman, we have translated the suras and duas into Russian, although, of course, such a translation cannot fully reflect the pronunciation of the words.

Two rak'ahs of fard prayer

• Before performing namaz, a woman must achieve complete ritual purity. For this purpose, ghusl and wudu are made - this is what Islam calls two types of ritual ablution.
• The woman's body should be almost completely hidden. Only the hands, feet and face remain open.
• We stand facing the Kaaba.
• We inform Allah with our hearts about what kind of prayer we are going to perform. For example, a woman can read to herself: “For the sake of Allah, I intend to perform 2 rakats of fard of today’s morning prayer.”
• Raise both arms so that the fingertips reach shoulder level. The palms should be turned towards the Kaaba. We pronounce the initial takbir: اَللهُ أَكْبَرْ “Allahu Akbar.” During Takbir, a woman must look at the place where her head will touch when bowing to the ground. We hold our hands at the chest, place our fingers at shoulder level. The feet should be parallel with the distance of approximately one hand minus the thumb
• After pronouncing Takbir, we fold our hands on our chest. The right hand should lie on the left hand. Men take their left wrist when praying, but women do not need to do this.
• Having reached the above-described position and still looking at the place of saj (prostration), we read the dua “Sana”: “Subhanakya Allahumma wa Bihamdikya Wa Tabarak” I-smukya wa ta'ala jaddukya wa la ilaha gairuk." (Allah! You are above all shortcomings, all praise is to You, the presence of Your Name is endless in everything, Your Greatness is high, and besides You we worship no one). Let us remember Aisha, who told people the following hadith: “The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) began the prayer after the opening takbir with this doxology: “Subhanaka...”.
• The next stage is reading أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ “Auuzu bil-lyahi mina-shaytaani r-rajim” (I seek refuge with Allah but from Satan, who is stoned).
• We read بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحيِمِ “Bis-mi Llyahi-Rrahmani-Rrahim” (In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful).
• Without changing the position of the body, we read the most important surah Fatiha in prayer:

بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّ‌حْمَـٰنِ الرَّ‌حِيمِ

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّـهِ رَ‌بِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ

إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ

اهْدِنَا الصِّرَ‌اطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ

صِرَ‌اطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ

غَيْرِ‌ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ

Alhamdulillahi Rabbi al-'alamiin! Ar-Rahmani-r-Rahim! Maliki yawwmiddin. Iyyaka na'budu wa iyyaka nasta'in. Ikhdi-na-s-Syrat-al-mustaqim. Syrat-al-lyazina an ‘amta ‘alayhim. Gairi-l-magdubi ‘aleihim wa lyaddaaa-lliiin.”

(Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds! The Gracious, the Merciful, the King on the Day of Judgment. We worship You and ask You to help! Lead us along the straight road, Along the path of those whom You have blessed - not those who are under anger, and not lost).

• Maintaining the position of the body, we read out any sura known to us. Surah Al-Kawthar is perfect:

إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ‌

فَصَلِّ لِرَ‌بِّكَ وَانْحَرْ‌

إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الْأَبْتَرُ‌

“Inna a’taina kal-kausar. Fasalli li Rabbika vanhar. Inna shaniaka huwa-l-abtar.” (We have granted you al-Kawsar (countless blessings, including the river of the same name in Paradise). Therefore, perform prayer for the sake of your Lord and slaughter the sacrifice. Verily, your hater himself will be unknown).

In principle, when praying for beginner women, it is enough to read Surah Fatiha and then proceed to perform the Hand.

The hand is done as follows: we bend in a bow, leaving the back parallel to the floor. We say “Allah Akbar”. For representatives of the fairer sex, it is not necessarily enough to just lean forward a little, because it is quite difficult to completely straighten your back and not every woman is capable of this. When performing the Hand, the hands should rest against the kneecaps, but there is no need to clasp them. Leaning in this way, we say:

سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ

“Subhaana Rabiyal Azyym” - (Glory to my Great Lord).

This phrase is pronounced 3 to 7 times. Required condition: the number of utterances must be odd.

• Exiting the “bow” position is also accompanied by reading the sura:

سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ

رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الحَمْدُ

“Sami’Allahu liman hamidah.”

(Allah hears those who praise him).

“Rabbana wa lakal hamd.”

(O our Lord, to You alone is all praise!)

• Having straightened up, we perform Sajd again, while saying “Allahu Akbar.” Different parts of the body are lowered to the floor gradually: first we press our knees to the floor, then our hands, and finally our nose and forehead. It is important that the head is positioned during Sajda directly between the hands, spread in such a way that the fingers pressed to each other point towards the Kaaba. The elbows should be located close to the stomach. We press our calves tightly to our thighs; we cannot close our eyes. Having reached this position, the Muslim woman says:

"Subhana Rabbiyal A'lyaa." (Glory to my Lord supreme).

• We return to a sitting position, while saying “Allahu Akbar.” We take a new sitting position: we bend our knees and place our hands on them. We hold this position until “Subhanallah” is said. Again we say “Allahu Akbar” and take the position of Sajd. In Sajda we say three, five or seven times: “Subhana Rabbiyal A’lyaa.” An important point: the number of repetitions should be the same in both Sajd and Ruka.
• The first rakat of prayer ends with rising to a standing position. Of course, at the same time we say “Allahu Akbar”: praising the Almighty is obligatory in almost every action during prayer. We keep our hands folded on our chest.

Second rakat of fard prayer

• We repeat all the steps described above, but from the moment we read Surah Fatiha. After reading the sura, we use another text, for example, “Ikhlas”:

قُلْ هُوَ اللَّـهُ أَحَدٌ

لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ

وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ

“Kul huwa laahu ahad. Allahu ssamad. Lam yalid wa lam yulyad. Wa lam yakullahu kufuvan ahad.” (He - Allah - is one, Allah is eternal; He did not beget and was not begotten, and no one was equal to Him!) (Sura 112 - “Ikhlas”).

An important point: when performing namaz, Muslims are prohibited from reading the same surahs in different rakats. There is only one exception to this rule - Surah Fatiha, which is an indispensable part of any rakah.

• We use the same scheme of actions as during the first rakat up to the second Saj. Having bowed, we do not rise, as described above, but sit down. The woman sits to the left, with her legs drawn up to the outer thighs, pointing to her right. It is important that the woman performing namaz sits on the floor and not on her feet. Place your hands on your knees, pressing your fingers tightly.
• Having accepted this position, it is necessary to read the most important dua Tashahud: All rights reserved. بَرَكاتُهُ، اَلسَّلامُ عَلَيْنا وَعَلى عِبادِ اللهِ الصّالِحينَ، All rights reserved. All rights reserved. All rights reserved. All rights reserved بْراهيمَ وَعَلى آلِ إِبْراهيمَ، فِي الْعالَمينَ، إِنَّكَ حَميدٌ مَ جيد “At-tahiyayatu Lillyayahi Vas-Salavaatu wat-Tayibat As-Salayamu aleyka Ayuhan-nabiyu wa rahmatu Llaahi va barakayatuh. Assalamu Aleyna wa ala ibaadi Llaahi-ssalihin Ashhadu Allah ilaha ila Allah Wa ashhadu Anna Muhammadan Abduhu wa Rasuuluh "(Greetings, prayers and all good deeds belong only to Allah Almighty. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, the mercy of Allah and His blessings Peace be upon us, as well as I testify to all the righteous servants of Allah that there is no god worthy of worship except Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger).

When saying “la illaha” you need to raise your right index finger up. At the words “illa Allahu,” we lower our finger.

• The next part of the prayer is the reading of the dua “Salavat”, glorifying the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him!).

“Allaahumma sally 'alaya sayidinaa mukhammadin wa 'alaya eeli sayidinaa mukhammad, Kyama sallayte 'alaya sayidinaa ibraahim wa 'alaya eeli sayidinaa ibraahim, Wa baarik 'alaya sayidinaa muhammadin wa 'alaya eeli sayidinaa muhammad, Kamaa baarakte 'alaya sayidinaa ibraakhima va 'alaya eeli Sayidinaa ibraakhima fil-'aalamiin, innekya hamiidun majiid.”

(O Allah! Bless Muhammad and his family, as You blessed Ibrahim and his family. And send down blessings on Muhammad and his family, as You sent down blessings on Ibrahim and his family in all the worlds. Verily, You are the Praised, the Glorified).

• Immediately after the dua for the glory of Muhammad, we read the appeal to Allah: All rights reserved. مِنْ عِنْدِكَ، الغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ “Allahumma inni zolyamtu nafsi zulman kasira wa la yaghfiruz zunuuba illya Ant . Fagfirli magfiratam min ‘indik warhamni innaka Antal Gafuurur Rahiim.” (“O Allah, truly I have been extremely unfair to myself, and only You forgive sins. So forgive me from Your side and have mercy on me! Verily, You are the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful.”
• Dua for the glory of Allah is replaced by Salutation. It must be read with your head turned to the right and looking at your right shoulder. We pronounce:

السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ

“Assalaiyamu ’alaikum wa rahmatu-llaah” (peace and blessings of Allah be upon you).

We turn our heads to the left, look at our left shoulder and say: “Assalaiyamu 'alaikum wa rahmatu-Llaah,” which means “Peace be upon you and the blessing of the Almighty.”

This ends the two-rak prayer.

If desired, the worshiper can expand the prayer by reading “Astagfirullah” three times at the end of the prayer session, then “Ayatul-kursi”. In addition, you can pronounce the following taxibs 33 times:

سُبْحَانَ اللهِ - Subhanallah.

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ - Alhamdulillah.

We say “Allahu Akbar” thirty-four times.

After this you need to read:

لاَ اِلَهَ اِلاَّ اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ.لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ

وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

“La ilaha illalah wahdahu la sharikalyah, lahalul mulku wa lahalul hamdu wa hua ala kulli shayin kadir.”

The next part of the extended version of the prayer is reading the dua from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him!). You can read any other dua that does not contradict Sharia. When reading, we hold our open palms together in front of our faces, tilting them slightly upward.

Two-rak'ah sunnah and nafl prayers

Sunnah and nafl prayers are usually performed during the morning prayer immediately after its fard rakats. In addition, after the fard rakats of Zuhr prayer, 2 rakats of sunnah and nafl are used.

Also, 2 rak'ahs of sunnah and nafl are used after fard (Maghrib), fard (Esha) and immediately before Witr prayer.

The sunnah and nafl prayers are almost similar to the two-rakt fard prayer. The key difference is the intention, since immediately before performing the prayer, a Muslim woman needs to read the intention for this particular prayer. If a woman performs sunnah prayer, then she should also read the intention about it.

Correct reading of three-rak prayers by a woman

How can a woman correctly read the fard prayer, which consists of 3 rak'ahs? Let's figure it out. Such a prayer can only be found in the Maghrib prayer.

The prayer begins with two rak'ahs, similar to those used in the two-rak'ah prayer. In simplified form, the order is as follows:

1. Surah Fatiha.
2. A short surah.
3. Saja.
4. Second sajja.
5. Surah Fatiha (re-reading).
6. One of the surahs familiar to the woman.
7. Hand.
8. Saja.
9. Second sajja.

After the second saji of the second rakah, the woman needs to sit down and recite the dua Tashahud. After reading the dua, a Muslim woman can move on to the third rakat.

The third rakat includes Surah Fatiha, Ruku, Sajja and the second Sajja. Having completed the second sajja, the woman sits down to read the dua. She will have to recite the following suras:

Having finished with this part of the prayer, the Muslim woman says a greeting similar to the greeting from the two-rak prayer session. The prayer is considered completed.

How to perform Witr prayer

Witr prayer includes three rak'ahs, and its performance is significantly different from those described above. When performing, specific rules are used that are not used in other prayers.

A woman needs to stand facing the Kaaba, pronounce the Intention, then the classic Takbir “Allahu Akbar”. The next step is to pronounce the dua “Sana”. When the dua is pronounced, the first rakat of Witra begins.

The first rakah includes: Surah Fatiha, short surah, rukah, sajdah and second sajdah. We stand to perform the second rakah, which includes “Fatihah”, a short surah, ruka, sajah, second sajah. After the second sajja, we sit down and read the dua Tashahud. It is important to ensure correct landing. We rise for the third rak'ah.

In the third rak'ah of Vitra prayer, the Fatiha surah and one of the short surahs known to a woman are read. An excellent option would be Surah Falak:

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَ‌بِّ الْفَلَقِ ﴿١﴾ مِن شَرِّ‌ مَا خَلَقَ ﴿٢﴾ وَمِن شَرِّ‌ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ ﴿٣﴾ وَمِن شَرِّ‌ النَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ ﴿٤﴾ وَمِن شَرِّ‌ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ ﴿٥﴾

“Kul a”uzuu bi-rabbi l-falak. Minn sharri maa halak. Wa minn sharri ‘gaasikyyn izaa vak’ab. Wa min sharri nafazaati fii l-“ukad. Wa minn sharri haasidin isaa hasad.”

(Say: “I seek refuge with the Lord of the dawn from the evil of what He has created, from the evil of darkness when it comes, from the evil of witches who spit on knots, from the evil of the envious when he envyes.”

Note! When performing Witr prayer for beginners, it is permissible to read the same surahs in different rakats.

At the next stage, you should say “Allahu Akbar”, raise your hands as when performing the initial takbir and return them to their original position. We say dua Qunut:

اَللَّهُمَّ اِنَّا نَسْتَعِينُكَ وَ نَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَ نَسْتَهْدِيكَ وَ نُؤْمِنُ بِكَ وَ

نَتُوبُ اِلَيْكَ وَ نَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْكَ وَ نُثْنِى عَلَيْكَ الْخَيْرَ كُلَّهُ نَشْكُرُكَ

وَ لآ نَكْفُرُكَ وَ نَخْلَعُ وَ نَتْرُكُ مَنْ يَفْجُرُكَ

اَللَّهُمَّ اِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَ لَكَ نُصَلِّى وَ نَسْجُدُ وَ اِلَيْكَ نَسْعَى وَ نَحْفِدُ

نَرْجُوا رَحْمَتَكَ وَ نَخْشَى عَذَابَكَ اِنَّ عَذَابَكَ بِالْكُفَّارِ مُلْحِقٌ

“Allahumma inna nastainuka wa nastagfiruka wa nastahdika wa nu’minu bika wa natubu ilyayka wa netawakkulyu aleyke wa nusni aleyku-l-khaira kullehu neshkuruka wa laa nakfuruka wa nahlau wa netruku mey yafjuruk. Allahumma iyyaka na'budu wa laka nusalli wa nasjudu wa ilyayka nes'a wa nahfidu narju rahmatika wa nakhsha azabaka inna azabaka bi-l-kuffari mulhik"

(“O Allah! We ask to lead us along the true path, we ask You for forgiveness and repent. We believe in You and rely on You. We glorify You in the best possible way. We thank You and are not infidels. We reject and renounce the one who does not obey You. O Allah! We worship You alone, pray and make prostrations to the ground. We strive and direct ourselves towards You. We hope for Your Mercy and fear Your punishment. Verily, Your punishment befalls the unbelievers! "

Dua “Qunut” is a very difficult surah, which a woman will need a lot of time and effort to memorize. If a Muslim woman has not yet managed to cope with this surah, she can use a simpler one:

رَبَّنَا اَتِنَا فِى الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَ فِى اْلآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَ قِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ

“Rabbana atina fi-d-Dunya hasanatan wa fi-l-Akhirati hasanatan wa kyna azaban-Nar.”

(Our Lord! Give us good things in this and the next life, protect us from the fire of Hell).

If a woman has not yet memorized this dua, she can say “Allahumma-gfirli” three times, which means: “Allah, forgive me!” It is also acceptable to say three times: “Ya, Rabbi!” (O my Creator!).

Having pronounced the dua, we say “Allahu Akbar!”, make a hand, soot, another soot and sit down to recite the following texts:

Witr ends with a greeting to Allah.

Four-rakah prayer for beginners

Having gained some experience in performing prayer, a woman can proceed to 4 rakats.

The four act prayers include Zuhr, Esha fard and Asr.

Performance

• We stand so that our face is turned towards the Kaaba.
• We express our intention.
• We articulate Takbir “Allahu Akbar!”
• We say the dua “Sana”.
• We stand to perform the first rak'ah.
• The first two rak'ahs are read as in the 2-rak'ah Fadr prayer, with the exception that in the second rak'ah it is enough to read "Tashahud" and after Surah "Fatiha" nothing else needs to be read.
• After completing two rak'ahs, we recite the dua Tashahud. Then - “Salavat”, Allahumma inni zolyamtu nafsi. We do the greeting.

Women need to remember the rules of performing namaz. The body must be covered; prayers cannot be performed during menstruation and after childbirth. The prayers that the Muslim woman missed at this moment do not need to be restored.

The rules for performing prayer for a woman are suitable for both girls and girls. Unlike men, women are advised to perform namaz at home. If a Muslim woman is in a mosque, she should stand behind the men praying. You cannot stand in the same row as men - such a prayer will not please Allah.

The history of the emergence of the Muslim religion Islam. According to numerous scientific studies, the most ancient religion on our planet is Islam.

Namaz is a key event in the life of a Muslim. Constant connection with Allah is real happiness for a person. This is the duty of everyone who believes in the Creator. But how can a beginner man start reading prayer?

Many women feel that it is impossible to live happily in a polygamous marriage. This misconception is based on insufficient knowledge. In this article we will talk in detail about polygamy.

Interpretation of the 99 names of Allah. The meaning of the names of the Almighty Creator, translation with photographs and a table for easy memorization

A Muslim must be grateful and submissive to Allah, and worship Him, including through prayer. The most important evidence of faith is the phrase “La ilaha illallah,” which we will talk about in this article.

The Koran says that a repentant person is close to Allah. The Almighty loves and accepts people who are aware of their mistakes and delusions. This is why saying Astaghfirullah is so important. Semantic translation and meaning of the word Astagfirullah

Adhan is read 5 times a day immediately after the time for obligatory prayers. Azan is a call for Muslims to perform collective prayer. Iqamat is an announcement about the beginning of reading fard prayer.

Have you noticed that many Muslims mainly cite hadiths, and then the Koran? Often the verses are not cited as evidence at all. And the most important thing is that many of the quoted hadiths are fictitious and contradict the Book of Allah, while the Koran is a categorical argument of the Truth and is unique to man!

With the help of this instruction you can quickly learn how to read the prayer. In general, separate books are devoted to how to read namaz, given the enormous importance of this type of worship for a Muslim. But here you can get an extremely short introductory course on a single prayer of two rak'ahs. Having learned this prayer tutorial, you will be able to understand how to read all other prayers.

The method of reading namaz is given according to the Hanafi school of fiqh (Islamic law)

This completes the prayer.

Conditions for performing namaz (reading namaz)

To perform prayer, five conditions (sharts) must be met:

1. The first condition of prayer is cleansing from impurities (najasa). In other words, this is the removal of impurities from the place of prayer, from the body and clothing. Women should do istinja (cleansing the relevant organs after urination), and men should do istibra (complete cleansing of the corresponding organ after urination. To do this, it is recommended to cough, stomp on the spot a little and bend to the sides). To clean the anus after relieving yourself, you must first wipe it dry with paper, then rinse it with water and wipe it dry again with paper. When performing namaz, try to be dressed in clean clothes and make sure that your prayer mat (you can use a towel, sheet, etc. instead of a mat) is clean. Being clean means that if you were offered to eat at this place, you would gladly agree.
2. Small ablution (taharat, wudu) and complete ablution (ghusl). Small ablution is taken after you have relieved yourself and followed the instructions in point 1 on cleansing the genitals. Complete ablution (ghusl) is taken: in men - when semen is released during intercourse or sleep (emission), in women - during the postpartum cleansing period or the menstrual cycle.
3. The third condition of prayer is covering certain parts of the body (satrul-awrat), opening which is considered haram (forbidden). For men, the aurat is the part of the body from the navel to the knee. A woman has aurat - almost her entire body, except for her hands (up to the wrist) and face.
4. The fourth condition of prayer is facing towards the Kaaba(located in Mecca, Saudi Arabia) - Istiqbali-Qibla. Those who are in Mecca and see the Kaaba must face the Kaaba directly, and those who are away from Mecca and cannot see the Kaaba must face it as accurately as possible, using a compass, if there are no other landmarks.
5. The fifth condition of prayer is timely execution each of the five prayers. Prayer performed before the appointed time is not valid. The schedule of prayer times for each area is established according to the calendar according to the geographical location. You can see the daily prayer schedule on our website on the right.

The time of morning prayer begins from the moment of dawn and lasts until the beginning of sunrise. Morning prayer consists of four rak'ahs, two of which are sunnah and two are fard. First, 2 rakats are performed as sunnah, then 2 rakats are performed as fard.

Then we recite two rak’ats of fard. Fard of the morning prayer. In principle, fard and sunnah prayers are no different from each other, only the intention that you perform fard prayer changes and for men, as well as those who have become imams, you need to read surahs and takbirs aloud in prayer "Allahu Akbar".

Fard of morning prayer

The fard of the morning prayer, in principle, is no different from the sunnah of the prayer, only the intention that you perform the fard prayer changes, and for men, as well as those who have become imams, in prayer you need to read Surah al-Fatihah and a short surah, takbirs "Allahu Akbar", some dhikrs out loud.

Then read Salawat "Allahuma sally ala Muhammadin wa ala ali Muhammad, kyama sallayta ala Ibrahima wa ala ali Ibrahima, innakya Hamidum-Majid. Allahuma, barik ala Muhammadin wa ala ali Muhammad, kyama barakta ala Ibrahima wa ala ali Ibrahima, innakya Hamidum-Majid "Then read the du"a of Rabban “Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan va fil-akhyrati hasanat va kyna ‘azaban-nar”.

Raise your hand to make a dua "Allahumma anta-s-salamu wa minka-s-s-salaam! Tabarakta ya za-l-jalali wa-l-ikram" This completes the prayer.

The issue of religion and prayers has become a frequent issue lately. More and more people want to enrich their spiritual life. In general, learning to say Namaz is a mandatory requirement for every Muslim believer; not performing Namaz is a sin. All believers should read Namaz, just like all Christians pray with an appeal to the Higher Powers. We will try to figure out step by step what to do for those who have recently accepted Islam and do not yet fully understand.

Actually, it means prayer, ritual, one part of the five pillars of Islam. Previously, prayers were pronounced in a full voice with a strong pronunciation of the formulas of the monotheism of Allah. Of course, in the Koran there is no framework for reproducing prayers, but there are many indications of parts, such as prayer times, formulas, specific manipulations, and the like. The actions are copying all the actions of the Prophet Muhammad. Modern uniformity was formed over a century and a half and was recorded in writing. The main prayer is several parts of prayer poses accompanied by the recitation of formulas. Actions follow each other in a certain sequence, violating it, the process is considered invalid, and pronunciation is required in Arabic. So, daily spiritual actions consist of the following necessary prayers:

1. Morning - Fajr.
2. Midday - zuhr.
3. Early evening – Asr.
4. Evening – Maghrib.
5. Night - isha.

It will be performed both individually and en masse absolutely everywhere, in a suitable place of stay. Midday on Fridays takes place in the mosque, but the floor where prayers are performed must be thoroughly washed. It is also possible to use a special carpet, it is called sajjada. During the period of mass prayer, people are close to the imam - the representative who leads the process. But as for female representatives, they must be in a different room from the men, or stand behind.

In the process, similar to Christianity, it is forbidden to speak, eat, drink, laugh and make any extraneous noise. Of course, you understand that you cannot turn to Allah in an alcoholic, delirious state. There are exceptions to the rules, and for example, patients and people with health limitations can perform the ritual while sitting, or even lying down, praying mentally. In the modern world, in many Muslim countries, there is no special control over the observance of prayer; technique is a matter of conscience of the believer. It is important not to force yourself to do this; your intentions and desire are sincere, to make an appeal. Of course, the appearance is also necessary, to correspond, that is, the clothes are clean, without stains, and the time is as prescribed by the Koran, taking into account the definitions for each prayer.

It’s okay if you became a Muslim not long ago and don’t know for sure about the literacy of performing namaz, that is, the prayer process. The main thing is your pure and sincere desire to learn. The simplest and most effective method to implement is to start visiting the mosque and repeat the prayer after someone. This is a great option for newbie men, read the Quran first and be prepared accordingly. Consider all the actions and body position of the person saying the prayer. Start by learning the time to pronounce each type of prayer and the rules for performing it. And also, remember the words and order of performing namaz, for starters, at least three short suras. This is not at all difficult, like all beginners, complications and mistakes may arise, but this does not mean that the prayer will not be accepted by higher powers. Strive to perform all actions from the heart, sincerely.

How to learn to perform namaz for a girl

An inexperienced Muslim woman must know certain rules before starting to perform namaz, since, unlike Christianity, there are restrictions regarding the female gender. The correctness of reproducing the prayer is equal for everyone, the only difference is the position of the arms and legs during the process. A woman, like any Muslim, needs, in addition to knowing the correct pronunciation in Arabic, to delve into the meaning.

It is extremely important to read words correctly so that every inexperienced woman can perform prayer when writing prayers; sometimes the Russian alphabet is used. So, the girl needs to arrive clean and visit the toilet before starting the prayer. Make sure that the body is completely covered, leaving only the areas of the face, arms, hands, and feet. Then, raise your hands, fingers up, to your shoulders, and point your palms towards the Kaaba. The pose is as follows: your hands remain on the chest line, your legs are parallel to each other. After completing the reading, fix your hands on your chest, place your right hand on top of your left, and begin prayer.

How to learn to do namaz from scratch

It has already been said that when performing namaz, a newcomer to the Muslim faith is best to repeat after an experienced one.

This way you will avoid repeating and getting used to erroneous prayer. But you can also gradually learn on your own how to act correctly during prayer. Start by reading any four lines of the Holy Quran, memorize them and understand their meaning. Of course, it will be difficult for beginners at first; sometimes it seems that you have absolutely no idea where to even start. Put your own thoughts and your appearance in the right order, tune in to a sincere appeal to Allah. It is recommended to first read one of the main prayers - rak'ah.

It consists of a cycle of prayer poses and techniques accompanied by the recitation of formulas. Two types of rak'ahs are written - fard and sunnah, they are spoken out loud, with the exception of midday prayer. For a person who is not limited by illness, has reached maturity, and is not on the road, these two prayers are obligatory. Before starting to read, worshipers are required to completely cleanse the body; this includes not only visiting the toilet. To do this, you need to cough several times and stomp a little.

The position should be in the direction of the front part towards the Kaaba, that is, the shrine located in the city of Mecca. You can use a compass to determine its direction, try to follow the directions. The main rule is to observe the prescribed time for performing prayer; if you start a little earlier, the prayer will not be considered valid. There are schedules for each geographical location of the Muslim country, following them, you can practice on your own and in the mosque.

(Persian نماز‎) or salat (Arabic: صلاة‎) is a canonical prayer, one of the five pillars of Islam. The prayers of the first Muslims consisted of loudly pronouncing together the formulas of monotheism and the exaltation of Allah. There are no clear instructions in the Koran for performing prayers, although there are many indications of such particulars as prayer times, prayer formulas, certain movements, etc. The entire order of performing prayers developed as an imitation of the prayer postures and movements of the Prophet Muhammad and is enshrined in the memory of the first Muslims. The uniformity of prayer was practiced over almost a century and a half and was recorded in writing by the Hanafi jurist Muhammad al-Shaybani (d. 805).

The words of the Iqamat in the madhhab of Imam Abu Hanifa:

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar

Ashhadu alla ilaha illa Allah
Ashhadu alla ilaha illa Allah

Ashhadu Anna Muhammadar Rasulu Allah

Hayya ala ssalah

I rak'at

1. While standing, express your sincere intention (niyat) to commit namaz:

"For the sake of Allah, I intend to make fard* of this morning namaz A".

Important Notes:
*Fard is obligatory in Islam. Failure to perform fard is considered a sin.

In this case, we give a simplified example of performing the morning namaz a, in which there are 2 cancers (cycles of body movements).

Remember that everyone namaz includes a certain number of cancers of the sunnah (desirable) and fard (obligatory).

Morning - 2 sunnahs, 2 fards
Daytime - 4 sunnahs, 4 fards, 2 sunnahs
Afternoon - 4 fards
Evening - 3 fard, 2 sunnah
Night - 4 fard, 2 sunnah

2. Raise both hands, fingers apart, with palms facing the Qibla, to ear level, touching your thumbs to your earlobes and say takbir iftitah (initial takbir) “Allahu akbar.”

Takbir. The gaze is turned to the place of soot (the place that the head touches when bowing to the ground). The palms are turned towards the Qibla, the thumbs touch the earlobes. Feet are parallel to each other. There is a distance of four fingers between them.

3. Then place your right hand with the palm of your left hand, clasping the little finger and thumb of your right hand around the wrist of your left hand, and lower the hands folded in this way just below the navel and read:

"Suru Fatiha"

"Auzu billahi minashshaytaani r-rajim
Bismillahi r-rahmaani r-rahim
Alhamdu lillahi rabbil 'alamin
Arrahmaani r-rahim
Maaliki Yaumiddin
Iyyakya na´budu wa iyayakya nasta´iin
Ikhdina s-syraatal mystakyim
Syraatallyazina an'amta aleikhim
Gairil Magdubi Aleikhim Valad-Doolliin..."
Aamin!.. (Pronounced to oneself)

But you, as a beginner performing your first prayers in your life, can limit yourself to only reading Surah Fatiha.

Qiyam. The gaze is turned to the place of soot. Hands folded on the stomach, just below the navel. The thumb and little finger of the right hand wrap around the wrists of the left hand. Feet are parallel to each other. There is a distance of four fingers between them.

4. Having lowered your hands, say: “Allahu Akbar” and make a hand” (waist bow).

Hand." The gaze is directed to the tips of the toes. The head and back are at the same level, parallel to the surface of the place of prayer. The legs are straightened. The fingers are spread apart and clasp the knees.

5. After the hand, straighten your body to a vertical position.

6. After straightening, with the words “Allahu Akbar”, perform soot. When performing soot, you must first kneel down, then lean on both hands and, only after that, touch the soot with your forehead and nose.

Soot. Head - between hands. The forehead and nose touch the floor. Fingers and toes should point in the direction of the Qibla. The elbows do not touch the carpet and are moved away from the body. The belly does not touch the hips. The heels are closed.

7. After this, with the words “Allahu Akbar,” rise from the soot to a sitting position.

8. After pausing in this position long enough to say “Subhanallah”, with the words “Allahu Akbar”, lower yourself into soot again.

9. Then, with the words “Allahu Akbar,” stand up to perform the second rak’ata. Hands close in the same place.

II rak'at

First, as in the first rak'at, read Surah "Fatiha", an additional surah, for example "Ikhlas" (although for beginners you can limit yourself to only reading Surah "Fatiha" - see above), perform ruku (upper bow) and soot.

10. After the second soot of the second rak'at, sit on your feet and read the prayer (du'a) "Attahiyyat":

"Attahiyaty lillaahi vassalavaty vatayibyatu
Assalaam aleyke ayuhannabiyu wa rahmatyllahi wa baraka'atyh
Assalaam aleyna wa ala ibadillahi s-salihiin
Ashhad alla illaha illallah
Wa ashkhady Anna Muhammadan "abduhu wa rasylyukh"

Attention! When pronouncing the words “la illaha,” the index finger of the right hand rises, and when saying “illa illaha,” it goes down.

Ka´da (sitting). The gaze is turned to the knees. Hands are on your knees, fingers in a free position. Both legs are slightly shifted to the right. You should sit not on your left leg, but on the floor.
