How to perform? Recitations Starting Takbeer (“Allahu Ekber” - “The God is The Greatest”) Standing (Reciting Prayers, then “Bismillaahir rahmaanir raheem” - “In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful” Fatiha and other Suras from Qur’an) Bowing (“Subhanna rabbiyal 'Azeem” - “Holy is my Lord, the Magnificent”) Raising (“Sami' allaahu liman hamidah” – “Allah listens to him who praises Him” ) Prostration (“Subhaana rabbiyal 'Alaa” - “Glory to my Lord, the Most High”) The Last Sitting (At-Tasahhud and Salawat) Salaam (“As Salaamu 'alaikum wa rahmatulaah” – “Peace and blessings of God be upon you”)
The Fatiha In the name of God, the infinitely Compassionate and Merciful. Praise be to God, Lord of all the worlds. The Compassionate, the Merciful. Ruler on the Day of Reckoning. You alone do we worship, and You alone do we ask for help. Guide us on the straight path,the path of those who have received your grace; not the path of those who have brought down wrath, nor of those who wander astray.
The Ikhlas In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Say: He is Allah, the One. He is Allah, the Eternal,Who was never born, nor ever gave birth. The One beyond compare.
Why Muslims perform? Because: Salaat is commanded in Qur’an and described in Hadith Be ever mindful of prayers, and of praying in the most excellent way; and stand before God in devout obedience.Qur'an 2:238 And before God prostrate themselves, willingly or unwillingly, all things and beings that are in the heavens and the earth, as do their shadows in the mornings and the evenings.Qur'an 13:15 Our Lord (glorified and exalted be He) descends each night to the earth's sky then there remains the final third of the night, and He says: "Who is saying a prayer to Me that I may answer it?Who is asking something of Me that I may give it him?Who is asking forgiveness of Me that I may forgive him?"Hadith Qudsi 35
Discussion What Muslims think when they are performing Salaat? What can you (not) do during Salaat? Why is it an obligation? Did any non-Muslim try it? Don’t Muslims get bored with Salaat? What kind of prayers (worships) do other religions have? Where would you turn in Ka’ba?
