The Hanafi madhhab is the most popular, tolerant and most widespread madhhab in the world of Islam. Among Sunnis, more than 85% of Muslims are Hanafis.

For those who decide to start prayer, I advise you to first learn the suras, verses and words that we say during prayer. You need to learn it correctly and without messing with words. And the movements performed during prayer are the easiest to learn.

Here I offer everything you need to know in prayer:

I suggest you print them out and carry them with you all the time and read them everywhere. Learn very quickly, in about 1 - 2 days. It is not difficult.

ATTENTION: after reading Surah Al-Fatiha, the word “Amin” is said quietly so that even a neighbor cannot hear it. Yelling the word "Amen" is prohibited!!! During prayer, place your feet shoulder-width apart.

Salat (prayer, namaz) is a pillar of religion. Performing it correctly, in accordance with the Sunnah, is the duty of every Muslim. Unfortunately, we often treat the fulfillment of this basic requirement of religion carelessly, following our whims, caring little about performing the prayer in accordance with the order that has come down to us from the Prophet.

This is why most of our prayers remain devoid of the blessing of the Sunnah, although fulfilling them according to all the rules will not require much time and labor from us. All we need is a little effort and diligence. If we spend a little time and attention to learn the correct way of praying and make it a habit, the time we now spend in praying will remain the same, but due to the fact that our prayers will be performed in accordance with the Sunnah , the blessings and rewards for them will be much greater than before.

The noble companions, may Allah be pleased with them all, paid great attention to the performance of each act of prayer, while continuing to learn from each other the observance of the Sunnah of the Prophet. Due to this necessity, this modest article collects methods of prayer practice according to the Sunnah according to the Hanafi madhhab and indicates errors in performing prayer, which have become widespread in our time. By the grace of Allah, the listeners found this work very useful. Some of my friends wanted to make this article available in print so that larger number people could benefit from her advice. So, the purpose of this brief overview is to explain the performance of prayer according to the Sunnah and its application in practice with due care. May Almighty Allah make this work useful for all of us and give us tawfiq in this.

By the Grace of Allah, there are a large number of books, large and small, which describe the performance of prayer. Therefore, the purpose of this work is not to present an exhaustive description of prayer and its rules; we will focus only on a few important points that will help bring the form of prayer in line with the requirements of the Sunnah. Another purpose of this work is the need to prevent errors in performing prayer, which have become widespread in our days. InshaAllah, the brief advice given here will help bring our prayers in accordance with the Sunnah (at least appearance our prayers) so that a Muslim can humbly come before the Lord.

Before you begin your prayer:

You must be sure that all of the following are done as expected.

1. You need to stand up, facing the qibla.

2. You need to stand straight, your eyes should look at the place where you will bow to the ground (sajdah). Bowing your neck and placing your chin on your chest is disliked (makruh). It is also wrong to assume a position where your chest is tilted. Stand straight so that your eyes are directed towards the place where you are making prostration (sajdah).

3. Pay attention to the position of your feet - they should also be directed towards the qibla (turning your feet to the right or left is also contrary to the Sunnah). Both feet should be turned towards the qibla.

4. The gap between both feet should be small, about the size of four fingers.

5. If you perform namaz in jama'at (collectively), you need to be sure that you are all standing in a straight line. The best way to make the line straight is for each person to place the ends of both heels at the very end of the prayer mat or on a line that is marked on the mat (which separates one part of the mat from the other).

6. When you stand in jama'at, make sure that your hands are in close contact with the hands of those standing to your right and left, and that there are no gaps between you.

7. Leaving ankles closed is unacceptable, under any conditions. Obviously, the unacceptability of this during prayer increases. So make sure that the clothes you wear are higher than your ankles.

8. Sleeves should be long enough to cover the entire arm. Only the hands can be left open. Some people pray with their sleeves rolled up. It is not right.

9. It is also disgraceful (makruh) to perform prayer in clothes that you would not wear in public.

When you begin your prayer:

1. Make a niyat, or intention, in your heart - that you are going to perform such and such a prayer. There is no need to say words of intention out loud.

2. Raise your hands up to your ears so that your palms are facing the qibla, the tips of your thumbs should touch your earlobes or run parallel to them. The remaining fingers are straight and pointing upward. There are those (who, when performing prayer), turn their palms (more) towards their ears, and not towards the qibla. Some practically cover their ears with their hands. Some make a sort of weak symbolic gesture, not raising their hands all the way to their ears. Some people grab part of the ear with their hand. All these actions are wrong and contrary to the Sunnah, so they should be abandoned.

3. Raising your hands up in this way, say: “Allahu Akbar.” Then using your thumb and little finger right hand, wrap them around the wrist of your left hand and hold it that way. Then, you should place the three remaining fingers of your right hand (behind) your left hand so that these three fingers are facing towards the elbow.

4. Place your hands slightly below your navel, positioning them as described above.

Standing:

1. If you are performing your prayer alone or leading it as an imam, first of all, say the du’a Sanaa; then Surah Al-Fatiha, then several more Surahs. If you follow the Imam, you should say only the du'a Sanaa and then stand silently, listening carefully to the Imam's recitation. If you do not hear the recitation of the Imam, you should recite Surah Al-Fatihah mentally in your heart, but without moving your tongue.

2. When you read (namaz) yourself, it will be better if, while reading Al-Fatiha, you hold your breath on each verse and begin the next verse with a new sigh. Do not recite more than one verse in one breath. For example, hold your breath on (the verse): “Alhamdulillahi Rabbil-Aa’lyamin,” and then on: “Ar-Rahmani-r-Rahim,” and then on: “Maliki yaumid’din.” Say the entire Surah Al-Fatihah in this way. But it will not be a mistake if you say more than one verse in one breath.

3. Do not move any parts of your body unless necessary. Stand still - the quieter the better. If you want to scratch or do something similar, use only one hand, but do not do it unless very necessary, using a minimum of time and effort.

4. Transferring the entire weight of the body to only one leg so that the other leg remains as if weightless, so that the body acquires a certain bend, will be against the etiquette of prayer. Refrain from doing this. It is better to distribute your body weight equally on both legs, or if you do have to transfer your entire body weight to one leg, you need to do it in such a way that the other leg does not bend (does not form a crooked line).

5. If you feel the urge to yawn, try to refrain from it.

6. When you stand in prayer, direct your eyes to the place where you bow to the ground. Refrain from looking left, right or straight.

When you make a bow (ruku’):

When you bend over for a bow (ruku’), watch for the following:

1. Bend your upper body so that your neck and back are almost at the same level (one line). Do not bend above or below this level.

2. When performing the hand, do not bend your neck so that your chin touches your chest, do not raise your neck above the level of your chest. The neck and chest should be at the same level.

3. In your hand’, keep your feet straight. Do not place them sloping inward or outward.

4. Place both your hands on your knees so that the fingers of both hands are not closed. In other words, when you hold your right knee with your right hand and your left knee with your left, there should be space between each two fingers

5. When you stand in a bow, your wrists and arms should remain straight. They should not bend or crook.

6. Remain in a bow at least for the time during which you can calmly say: “Subhan Rabbiyal-Azym” three times.

7. When you are in a bow, your eyes should be fixed on the soles of your feet.

8. The weight of the body should be distributed on both feet and both knees should be parallel to each other.

When you get up from the hand position’:

1. As you rise from the arm position back to the standing position, be sure to stand straight without twisting or bending your body.

2. In this position, your eyes should also be directed to the place where you are making prostration (sajdah).

3. Sometimes someone just pretends to stand up straight, instead of standing up completely and standing straight, sometimes someone starts making sajdah without straightening up properly from the ruku position. In this case, it becomes obligatory for them to prostrate again. So try to refrain from doing this. If you are not sure that you have straightened yourself properly from the ruku’ position, do not begin to bow to the ground (sajdah).

When you perform sajdah (prostration):

Remember the following rules when performing sajdah:

1. First of all, bend your knees and stand (kneeling) on prayer rug so that the chest does not lean forward. The chest should be lowered down when the knees are already on the floor.

2. Until your knees are on the floor, refrain as much as possible from bending or lowering your upper body. Laxity with regard to this special rule of prayer etiquette has become especially common these days. Many people immediately tilt their chest as they begin to descend into sajdah. But the correct method is the one described above. Unless this (the above) is done for a serious reason, this rule cannot be neglected.

3. After you kneel down, you lower yourself onto your hands, then lower the tip of your nose, then your forehead.

In sajdah (prostration):

1. While in a prostration, hold your head between your two hands, so that the ends of your thumbs are parallel to your earlobes.

2. When bowing to the ground, the fingers of both hands should remain pressed to each other, with no space left between them.

3. Fingers should be pointed towards the qibla.

4. Elbows should remain raised off the floor. Placing your elbows on the floor is incorrect.

5. Hands should be kept away from the armpits and sides. Do not cover your sides and armpits with your elbows.

6. At the same time, do not keep your elbows too spread out in different directions, thereby creating discomfort for those who pray next to you.

7. Your thighs should not touch your stomach, keep your thighs and stomach away from each other.

8. During the entire prostration, the tip of the nose should remain pressed to the floor.

9. Both feet should be placed vertically on the floor, with the heels pointing up and the toes turned up, pressed to the floor and pointing towards the qibla. If someone cannot do this for some reason physiological reasons, he must curl his fingers as far as possible. It is wrong to place your toes parallel to the floor without serious reasons.

10. Make sure that your feet do not leave the floor during the entire prostration. Some people perform sajdah without keeping any of their toes on the floor for a moment. In this case, their prostration is considered unfulfilled, and accordingly, the entire prayer becomes invalid. Be very careful to refrain from making such a mistake.

11. You need to be in the sajdah position for so long that you can calmly say “Subhan Rabbiyal-Aa’la” three times. Raising your head from the floor as soon as your forehead touches the ground is prohibited.

In between two bows to the ground:

1. Having risen from the first bow to the ground, sit directly on your hips, calmly and comfortably. Then perform the second prostration (sajdah). Making a second prostration, without straightening, immediately after you have raised your head a little is a sin. If someone does (prostration) in this way, he will have to start the prayer again.

2. Tuck yourself in left leg(like the blade of a hockey stick). Place your right foot vertically, so that your toes point towards the qibla. Some people tuck both legs under them and sit on their heels. It is not right.

3. While you are sitting, both hands should be on your hips, but your fingers should not go down (to the knees themselves), the fingertips should just reach the place where the edge of the knee begins.

4. While you are sitting, your eyes should be fixed on your knees.

5. You must remain in a sitting position for as long as you can say: “Subhanallah” at least once. If while sitting (between two prostrations) you say: “Allahumma gfirli varhamni vasturni vakhdini varzukni,” it will be even better. But there is no need to do this while performing fard prayer ( obligatory prayer), it is better to do this when performing nafil prayer (additional prayer).

The second bow to the ground and the rise after it (rising up after it):

1. Make the second prostration in the same order as the first - first place both hands on the floor, then the tip of the nose, then the forehead.

2. The complete prostration must be the same as was discussed above in connection with the first prostration.

3. When you rise from the sajdah position, first lift your forehead from the floor, then the tip of your nose, then both hands, then your knees.

4. When getting up, it is better not to lean on the floor for support, however, if this is difficult to do (it is difficult to stand up without support) due to body weight, illness or old age, leaning on the floor for support is allowed.

5. After you rise to your original position, say: “Bismillah” before reciting Surah Al-Fatihah at the beginning of each rak’ah.

In the qa'da position (sitting between two rak'ahs of prayer):

1. Sitting in the position (qa'da) should be done in the same way as was described above in the part where it was said about sitting between two prostrations.

2. When you reach the words: “Ashhadu alla ilaha,” when reading (du’a) “At-tahiyyat,” you should raise your index finger with a pointing motion and lower it back when you say: “il-Allah.”

3. Method of making a pointing movement: you make a circle by connecting your middle and thumb, close your little finger and ring finger (the one next to it), then raise your index finger so that it points towards the qibla. You should not raise it straight up towards the sky.

4. Lowering the index finger, it is placed back in the same position that it had before the beginning of the pointing movement.

When you turn (to say salam):

1. When you turn to say salam in both directions, you should turn your neck so that your cheek is visible to those sitting behind you.

2. When you turn to (pronounce) salam, your eyes should be fixed on your shoulders.

3. Turning your neck to the right with the words: “As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullah,” intend to greet all people and angels on the right. In the same way, when giving salaam to your left, have the intention of saluting all the people and angels on your left.

Method of making du'a

1. Raise both your arms up until they are in front of your chest. Leave a little space between both hands. Don't keep your hands close to each other and don't keep them far apart.

2. During du'a, the inside of the hands should be facing the face.

Namaz for women

The above method of performing prayer is intended for men. The prayer performed by women differs from that of men in some respects. Women should pay close attention to the following:

1. Before starting prayer, women should make sure that their entire body, except the face, hands and feet, is covered with clothing. Sometimes women pray with their hair uncovered. Some leave their wrists exposed. Some people use a scarf so thin or small that the hanging locks of hair can be seen through it. If during prayer at least a quarter of any part of the body remains open for such a time, which is enough to say: “Subhan Rabbiyal-Azym” three times, then such a prayer becomes invalid. However, if a smaller part of the body remains open, the prayer will be valid, but (on such a person praying) sin will still remain.

2. For women, performing the prayer in the room is better than on the veranda, and performing it on the veranda is better than performing it in the courtyard.

3. At the beginning of prayer, women do not need to raise their hands to their ears, they only need to raise them to shoulder level. And your hands should be raised inside a scarf or other cover. You should not remove your hands from under the blanket.

4. When women cross their arms, they should simply place the palm of their right hand over the end of their left hand. There is no need to fold your hands at the level of the navel, like men.

5. When bowing from the waist (ruku’), women do not have to completely straighten their backs, like men. Also, they should not bend as low as men.

6. In the arm position, men should wrap their fingers around their knees; women only need to place their hands on their knees so that the fingers are located close to each other, that is, so that there is space between the fingers.

7. Women should not keep their legs completely straight; instead, they should bend their knees slightly forward.

8. In the ruku position, men should keep their arms extended to the sides. Women, on the contrary, should press their hands to their sides.

9. Women should keep both legs close to each other. Both knees should be almost connected so that there is no distance between them.

10. When performing sajdah, men should not lower their chests until they place both knees on the floor. Women do not need to adhere to this method - they can immediately lower their breasts and begin making sajdah.

11. Women should perform sajdah with their stomach pressed to their thighs and their arms pressed to their sides. In addition to this, they can place their feet on the floor, pointing them towards right side.

12. Men are not allowed to place their elbows on the floor during sajdah. But women, on the contrary, must place their entire arm, including their elbows, on the floor.

13. While sitting between two sajdahs and reciting At-Tahiyat, women sit on their left thigh, pointing both legs to the right and leaving their left leg on the right shin.

14. Men are required to carefully observe the position of their fingers during ruku', and keep them together in sajdah, and then leave them as they are during the rest of the prayer, when they do not make an effort to join or reveal them. But women are required to keep their fingers close to each other so that there is no free space between them. This must be done in the ruku' position, in sajdah, between two sajdahs and in qa'da.

15. It is makrooh (not desirable) for women to perform namaz with jama'at, performing prayer alone (will be) preferable for them. However, if their male mahrams (members of their family) perform namaz in the house, there will be nothing wrong if women also join them in jama'at. But in this situation it is necessary that they stand exactly behind the men. Women should not stand next to men in the same row.

Some essential rules of behavior in the mosque

1. When entering the mosque, say the following du’a:

“Bismillah salaam you ala Rasulullah. Allahumma aftahli abwaba rahmatik"

(“I enter (here) with the name of Allah and a prayer of blessing on His Messenger. O Allah, open to me the doors of Your Mercy.”)

2. Immediately after entering the mosque, make the intention: “I will remain in (the state of) i’tikaf all the time I am in the mosque.” Having done this, insha Allah, one can hope for spiritual benefits from i'tikaf (staying in the mosque).

3. When going inside the mosque, it is best to sit in the front row. If the first rows are already occupied, sit where you find a free seat. Walking over people's necks is unacceptable.

4. You should not greet those who are already sitting in the mosque and are busy with dhikr (remembering Allah) or reading the Koran. However, if one of these people is not busy and is looking at you, there is no harm in you greeting them.

5. If you want to perform sunnah or nafil prayer in the mosque, choose a place where the least number of people can pass in front of you. Some people begin their prayers in the back rows while there is plenty of free space in the front. This makes it difficult for other people to walk between them to find an empty seat. Performing prayer in this way is a sin in itself, and if someone passes in front of the person performing the prayer, then the sin of passing in front of the person praying also falls on the one performing such prayer.

6. After entering the mosque, if you have some free time before starting the prayer, then before sitting down, perform two rak'ahs (prayers) with the intention of tahiya al-masjid. This is a very commendable thing. If you do not have time before prayer, you can combine the intention for Tahiya al-Masjid with the intention for Sunnat prayer. If you do not have time even to perform the sunnat prayer, and the jama’at has already gathered (ready for prayer), this intention can be added to the intention for the fard prayer.

7. While you are in the mosque, continue to do dhikr. It is especially useful to say the following words:

“Subhanallah wal-hamdullilahi wa la ilaha il-Allah wa Allahu Akbar”

(“Glorified is Allah, all praise be to Allah, there is no God but Allah, Allah is Great”).

8. Do not allow yourself to be drawn into unnecessary conversations while you are (in the mosque), which may distract you from worship and prayer or dhikr (remembering Allah).

9. If the jama’at is already ready (already gathered) for prayer, fill out the first rows first. If there is free space in the front rows, you are not allowed to stand in the back rows.

10. When the imam takes his place on the minbar to deliver the Friday khutbah (sermon), it is not allowed to talk, greet someone or respond to a greeting until the end of the prayer. However, if someone starts talking at this time, it is also not allowed to ask him to remain silent.

11. During the sermon (khutbah), sit as you sit in qa’da (during prayer). Some people sit this way only in the first part of the khutbah, and then place their hands differently (remove them from their hips) in the second part. This behavior is wrong. You should sit with your hands on your hips during both parts of the sermon.

12. Refrain from anything that may spread dirt or odors throughout the mosque or cause harm to anyone.

13. When you see someone doing something wrong, ask them not to do it, calmly and gently. It is unacceptable to openly insult him, reproach him, or quarrel with him.

ATTENTION: for more details about prayer and how to perform ablution, you can

One of the obligatory pillars of Islam that every Muslim must perform is praying five times a day (salat) to Allah Almighty at the prescribed time of day. At the same time, in order to perform namaz, certain conditions must be met. How to perform namaz correctly and what should every Muslim know before performing it?

How to read namaz correctly - preparation

Before starting prayer, it is necessary to perform a small (wudu) ablution or, if necessary, a complete ablution (ghusl).

In addition to ablution, the following conditions must also be met:

• Vestment. For women, it is allowed to leave their feet, hands and face open. In this case, the head, including the hair, must be covered. Men's heads remain uncovered.
• The prayer should be performed towards the Kaaba (Mecca, Saudi Arabia).
• A specific time must be observed for a specific prayer.
• You need to express your intention to perform namaz (in the shower).

If all of the above points are fulfilled, then you can begin to perform namaz.

How to read namaz correctly. Five obligatory daily prayers: names and times

• Fajr - morning prayer. This salad is performed at dawn until full sunrise, when the sun completely crosses the horizon.
• Zuhr – midday prayer. You can pray a few minutes after the sun passes its zenith. The period in which you need to pray ends with the beginning of the Asr prayer.
• Asr - before evening prayer. It starts approximately two hours before sunset and needs to be done before the sun begins to disappear below the horizon.
• Maghrib - evening prayer. Should be done evening prayer immediately after sunset, until the evening glow is still there.
• Isha – night prayer. With the onset of late evening, when it is already completely dark outside, you can perform isha prayer. His time spans the entire night until dawn.

How to read namaz correctly - rules

Let's look at performing namaz using an example morning Fajr prayer(consists of 2 ra’kaats). It is important that the person praying reads the prayer silently or in a whisper.

• Stand towards the Kaaba. Lower your arms along your body and you need to look at the floor, about a meter away from you. Don't close your eyes.

• Then the arms are bent at the elbow, open palms are raised from yourself to ear level, the takbir is pronounced: “Allahu Akbar!” (Allah is Great!). In this case, the fingers should be connected together. After pronouncing takbir, you cannot do any actions that could disrupt the prayer, because it will not be taken into account by the Almighty (laughing, talking, looking around, scratching something, and so on).

• Afterwards, the hands are connected on the stomach above the navel. In this case, the right hand is placed on the left, clasping it at the wrist. The first ra'kaat of prayer begins. Sana is read - praise to Allah:

“Subhanaka-llahumma wa-bi-hamdika wa-tabaraka-smuka wa-ta'ala jadduka wa jalla sana'uka wa-la 'ilaha gairuk" (“Glorified are You, O Allah, with Your Purity! Let us begin with praising You. Blessed is the Name Thine. Great is Thy Power. Mighty is Thy Glory. "

• Then it is said: “A’uzu bi-l-lyakhi mina-sh-sheitani-r-rajim!” (“I resort to the protection of Allah from the cursed and rejected Shaitan!”).
• Next, you need to read Surah Al-Fatihah (“The Opener”).

Bi-smi-llahi-r-rahmani-r-rahim.
Al-hamdu li-llahi rabbi-l-alamin.
Ar-rahmani-r-rahim.
Maaliki yawmi-d-din.
Iyyaka na'budu wa iyyaka nasta'in.
Ikhdina-s-siraata-l-mustakiim.
Siraata-l-lyaziina an'amta alaihim.
Gairi-l-magdubi aleihim wa la-d-daaaalliin.

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds,
The Gracious, the Merciful,
Lord of the Day of Retribution!
You alone we worship and You alone we pray for help.
Lead us direct way,
the path of those whom You have blessed, not those on whom wrath has fallen, and not those who are lost.

• After completing the opening sura, you need to say: “Amen!” and immediately another surah is read. This could be Surah “An-nas” (People), “Al-ikhlas” (Purification of Faith), “Al-falak” (Dawn) or any other by heart.
• After the second sura, the takbir “Allahu Akbar” is again pronounced with a raise of hands and a bow (hand) is made. At the same time, open palms are lowered to the knees, and the following is said: “Subhana rabbiyal-azim!” (Glory to the Greatest Lord!) – 3 times.

• Then, rising, he says: “Sami’a-l-lahu liman hamidah!” (Allah hears those who praise Him!).
• When fully erect: “Rabbana wa-laka-l-hamd!” (Our Lord, all praise is only to You) and takbir: “Allahu Akbar!”

• After takbir, prostration (sujud) is made. It works as follows. Your knees begin to bend, then you need to stand on them, then lower your hands in front of you and touch your forehead and nose to the floor. Your hands should be clasped at ear level at this time. In this case, the feet remain on their toes. Pronounced: “Subhana rabbi-l-a’la!” (Glory to the Lord Almighty) – 3 times.

• Then takbir and, without getting up, sit on your left leg, bending your foot under you with your toe inward, and straighten your right leg parallel to the floor. The palms are placed on the knees, the fingers are joined and the hands lie along the hips. Then, “Allahu Akbar” is said again and a second bow is made, repeating the phrase three times: “Subhana rabbiyal-a’la.”

• Next, takbir “Allahu Akbar” and you need to stand in reverse order. First, your arms and head come off the floor, and then you need to get up from your squat and straighten up. This is how the first ra'kaat ends.

• This is followed by a repetition of the first ra’kaat and at the end of the second bow, the takbir is pronounced and again you need to sit on your feet. In this case, the index finger of the right hand must be straightened towards the Kaaba. The prayers “Tashahhud” and “Salyavat” are read. During these prayers, the straightened finger should move up and down without stopping.

“At-tahiyyatu li-llahi wa-s-salyawatu wa-t-tayyibat! As-salamu ‘alaika ayyuha-n-nabiyyu wa-rahmatu-llahi wa-barakatuh! As-salamu 'alaina wa-'ala ibad-llahi-s-salihin! Ashkhadu ‘al-la ‘ilaha ila-llahu, wa-‘ashkhadu ‘anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa-rasuluh!’ (All greetings are to Allah, all prayers and righteous deeds. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, the mercy of Allah and His blessings! Peace be upon us and all the righteous servants of Allah. I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is His slave and messenger.)

Salawat: “Allahumma salli ‘ala Muhammadiv-wa-‘ala ‘ali Muhammadin kama sallayta ‘ala Ibrahima wa-‘ala ‘ali Ibrahima, innaka hamidun-majid. Allahumma barik 'ala Muhammadiv-wa-'ala 'ali Muhammadin kama barakta 'ala Ibrahima wa-'ala 'ali Ibrahima, innaka hamidun-majid" (O Allah! Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You blessed Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. Truly , You are Glorious, Praiseworthy and Great. O Allah! Show Your generosity to Muhammad and his family, as You bestowed Your generosity on Ibrahim and his family.

• After salawat, you need to turn your head to the right and say: “As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatu-l-lah” (Peace and mercy of Allah be upon you), and then to the left and again: “As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatu-l-lah.”
• Fajr prayer is over. All other prayers, except Maghrib, consist of 4 ra’kaats. After the first two, when the tashahud is pronounced until “Ashhadu ‘al-la ‘ilahu illa-llahu ...”, the takbir “Allahu Akbar!” is said again, you need to get up and repeat two more ra’kaats. Maghrib consists of 3 ra'kaats.

Before you start praying, you need to become familiar with when you can’t perform namaz, what violates namaz, how to do ablution correctly and much more. At first it may seem that everything is very difficult, but it is not! The most important thing is that after prayer you will feel inner peace and satisfaction! Peace and blessings of Allah be upon you!

Performing namaz is one of the obligatory pillars of the Islamic religion. It must be followed by every true believer. Prayer frees the mind, calms the soul and purifies the consciousness. Namaz is a five-fold prayer that helps Muslims turn to God and cope with difficult situations. But in order to read namaz correctly, it is necessary to follow certain rules and perform namaz at certain times of the day and night.

Times and names of prayers

Each prayer includes several rakats, sequences of actions. They consist of reading certain suras Quran in a standing position and two types of bows: at the waist and to the ground.

• Morning prayer is called Fajr and consists of 2 rak'ahs. It is performed from the moment the first signs of dawn appear until the final sunrise. The prayer stops as soon as the sun completely leaves the horizon.
• Lunch – Zuhr – 4 rakats. Starts a couple of minutes after noon.
• Afternoon – Asr – 4 rak’ahs. It takes place a few hours before sunset. It is fundamentally necessary to finish praying before the sun begins to disappear below the horizon.
• Evening - Maghrib - 3 rak'ahs. It is performed immediately after the sun has set, but before the evening glow has disappeared.
• Night – Isha – 4 rak’ahs. Done late in the evening. The time for prayer is until dawn. However, it is better not to delay and perform the prayer on time.

In addition to the main actions, there are desired prayers, for the fulfillment of which Allah will reward the believers. For beginners, of course, to begin with, it is enough to learn the main part of the ritual and get used to a regular schedule of five times prayer. But after it becomes a habit, it is advisable to add the rest of the sunnat prayers.

Preparation for prayer

Before you start praying, you need to:

• Cleanse the body: perform small ablution, wudu. If necessary, the believer must make ghusl.
• Wear clean and neat clothing: Muslim women must cover their awrah, but they may not cover their face, feet or hands. In this case, the hair should be hidden under clothing. Men do not need to cover their heads.
• Observe the timing of a particular prayer.
• Turn towards the qibla, the shrine of the Kaaba, which is located in Saudi Arabia, Mecca.
• Lay down a prayer mat, a clean towel or sheet.
• Get into a pose. Women should stand straight, legs together, and arms along the body. Men should place their feet shoulder-width apart, lower their arms freely, and look down in front of them.
• Mentally express the intention in your heart to read the prayer. Every Muslim must begin such an important task with sincerity and respect and approach with full responsibility the intention of performing namaz for the pleasure of the Almighty God.

Once all of the above points have been completed, the believer can begin prayer.

How to read namaz correctly

If the intention is pronounced silently, then everything else - the introductory takbir, dua, suras of the Koran - is spoken out loud. Not necessarily in a full voice, perhaps in a whisper, because the situation is not always conducive to complete unity.

1. From the position in which you are standing, raise your palms to your shoulders and say out loud the expression “Allahu Akbar!” This will be the opening takbir. Watch the aura: the sleeves should not fall down. Otherwise, the prayer will not be performed.
2. Cross your arms at chest level. Place your right palm on top. Read Surah Al-Fatihah.
3. Bow at the waist. Remember, men should bow lower than women and look down at their feet. Place your hands on your knees, but do not clasp them.
4. Return to the starting position.
5. Make a prostration and simultaneously say the phrase “Allahu Akbar.” To do this, kneel down, then lean on your palms and elbows and touch the ground with your nose and forehead. As you do this, press your toes into the ground.
6. With the same words, go to a sitting position and say the phrase “Subhanallah.”
7. Prostrate again and at the same time say the phrase “Allahu Akbar.”
8. Return to the starting position to make the second rak'ah.

1. Start, as at the very beginning, by reading Surah Al-Fahita. You can choose the words of dhikr, read some small surah.
2. Now bow to the waist and to the ground, as you did during the first rak'ah.
3. Sit on your feet so that your palms are on your knees and both legs are turned to the right side. This way you will sit not on your feet, but on the floor. In this position, recite the dua Attahiyat. Afterwards, if you are performing Fajr prayer, say the end of the prayer.

If you are reading a prayer that consists of three or four rakats, then after the dua, change your position: get up, stand straight and do the next rakats. Then Muslims can turn to Allah Almighty in free form in any language with prayers and requests for personal matters. The Lord will definitely hear you after prayer and help you.

22:12 2014

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Pray as you saw me praying”(Bukhari)

Below we have collected for you training videos and a detailed description of the entire prayer from beginning to end. May this material benefit Muslims.

Brief training in prayer. For those who want to learn, but don't know where to start.

Every Muslim should know that the acceptance of his actions by Allah Almighty depends on his compliance with the following two conditions: First, the act must be done sincerely and only for the sake of Allah Almighty. At the same time, when performing this act, a Muslim should fear only Allah, love Him more than anything else and hope only for His mercy. Secondly, a Muslim must perform this or that act in the same way as the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, did it, i.e. in accordance with his Sunnah.

The absence of one of these conditions makes the ritual of worship invalid, be it prayer, ablution, fasting, zakat, etc. Therefore, in an effort to put an end to disagreements and misunderstandings related to prayer and purification, we exclusively relied on the verses when writing this article Holy Quran and authentic hadiths of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

Starting the small ablution, you must say: “Bi-smi-llah!” (“In the name of Allah!”). Then you need to wash your hands three times. Then you need to rinse your mouth and nose three times and wash your face three times from one ear to the other and from where the hair grows to the end of the jaw (or beard). Then you need to wash both hands three times from the fingertips to the elbows inclusive, starting with the right hand. Then you need to wet your palms and rub your head with them. When wiping your head, you need to run your hands over it from the end of the forehead to the beginning of the neck, and then in the opposite direction. Then you need to insert your index fingers into the ear holes and wipe the outside of the ears with your thumbs. Then you need to wash your feet from the toes to the ankles inclusive, starting with the right foot. It is necessary to wash the spaces between the toes and pay attention to ensuring that the water reaches the heels. After completing ablution, it is advisable to say: “Ashhadu alla ilaha illa-llahu wahdahu la sharika lah, wa-ashhadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa-rasuluh, allahumma-j'alni mina-t-tavvabina wa-j'alni mina-l-mutatakhhirin! » (“I testify that there is no deity except Allah alone, Who has no partners, and I testify that Muhammad is His slave and messenger! O Allah! Make me one of the repentant and make me one of the self-purifying!”)

If a medical bandage or plaster is applied to any organ of the body, then when performing a small or large ablution, it is necessary to wash the healthy areas of the body and wipe the bandage or plaster with a wet hand. If wiping a bandage or plaster with a wet hand harms the damaged organ, then in this case you should perform a sand bath.

WASHING WITH SAND (TAYAMMUM)

Sand washing is permitted if:

1. there is no water or there is not enough water to perform a small or large ablution;

2. a wounded or sick person is afraid that as a result of a small or large ablution his condition will worsen or his illness will prolong;

3. it is very cold, and a person cannot use water for small or large ablution (heat it up, etc.) and is afraid that the water will harm him;

4. there is little water and only enough for drinking, cooking and other necessary purposes;

5. it is impossible to reach water, for example, if an enemy or a predatory animal does not give the opportunity to approach the water, or if a person fears for his life, honor or property, or if he is imprisoned, or if he is unable to draw water from a well and etc.

Actions that invalidate sand ablution

Anything that invalidates wudu and wudu as stated earlier will also invalidate wudu. If, after performing ablution with sand, water is found or it becomes possible to use it, then ablution with sand also becomes invalid. A person who has performed namaz after he has performed ablution with sand should not perform this namaz again if he has found water. The expiration of a particular prayer does not invalidate sand ablution.

Procedure for performing sand ablution

After a person intends to perform a sand bath, he must say: “Bi-smi-l-lyah!” (“In the name of Allah!”), and then place your palms once on the place chosen for performing ablution with sand. Then you need to clean your palms of sand by blowing on them or clapping them together. Then you should wipe your face and hands with your palms.

Sand washing is permitted only with clean sand or similar substances.

You cannot perform ablution with sand in the presence of water, as this is contrary to Sharia, and in this case, the performed prayer will be considered invalid. Therefore, you cannot perform ablution with sand in the presence of water, even if the time of prayer is coming to an end: you must perform a small or large ablution with water, and then perform the prayer.

Ashhadu alla ilaha ila-llah, wa-ashhadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluh!” (“All greetings are to Allah, all prayers and righteous deeds! Peace be upon you, O Prophet, the mercy of Allah and His blessings! Peace be upon us and all the righteous servants of Allah! I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is His slave and messenger!")

Wa barik ala Muhammadin wa ala ali Muhammad, kama barakta ala Ibrahima wa ala ali Ibrahim! Innaka hamidun majid! (“O Allah! Praise Muhammad and his family just as you praised Ibrahim and his family! Verily, You are praiseworthy, glorious! And bless Muhammad and his family just as you blessed Ibrahim and his family! Verily, You are praiseworthy, glorious!”)

Then he must perform the remaining rak'ats of prayer in the same way as he performed the second rak'at, with the only difference that in subsequent rak'ats it is not necessary to read the sura after Surah al-Fatiha. Having completed the last rak'ah, the worshiper must sit down in the same way as he sat down before, with the only difference being that he must place the foot of his left foot under the shin of his right and sit on the seat.

Lyahu-n-ni'matu wa-lahu-l-fadlu wa-lahu-s-sana'u-l-hasan! La ilaha illa-llahu mukhlisina lyahu-d-dina wa lau kariha-l-kafirun!” (“There is no deity except Allah alone, Who has no partners! Power and praise belong to Him! He is capable of every thing! There is no strength and might except with Allah! There is no deity but Allah, and we do not worship anyone except Him !

It is advisable to read after each prayer “Ayat al-Kursi” (“Ayat on the Throne”): “Allahu la ilaha illya huwa-l-hayyu-l-kayyum, la ta’huzuhu sinatun wa la naum, lahu ma fi-s-samawati wa ma fi-l-ard, man za-l-lyazi yashfa'u indahu illya bi-iznih, ya'lyamu ma beina eidihim wa ma halfahum, wa la yuhituna bi shey'in min ilmihi illya bi-ma sha, wasi' and kursiyuhu-s-samavati wa-l-arda wa-la ya'uduhu hifzukhuma, wa-huwa-l-aliyyu-l-azim!” (“Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Living, the Almighty. Neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is on earth. Who will intercede before Him without His permission? He knows them the future and the past, while they comprehend from His knowledge only what He wills. His Throne (the Foot of the Throne) embraces the heavens and the earth, and He is not burdened by their protection. 255). Between those who read this verse after prayer and heaven there will only be death.

It is also advisable to read Surah al-Ikhlas (Sincerity) after prayer: “Bi-smi-llahi-r-rahmani-r-rahim! Kul huwa-llahu ahad! Allahu samad! Lam yalid wa lam yulid! Wa lam yaku-l-lyahu kufuvan ahad!” (“In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful! Say: “He is Allah the One, Allah the Self-sufficient. He did not beget and was not begotten, and there is no one equal to Him.””).

Sura “al-Falyak” (“Dawn”): “Bi-smi-llahi-r-rahmani-r-rahim! Kul a'uzu bi-rabbi-l-falyak! Min sharri ma halyak! Wa min sharri gasikin iza vakab! Wa min sharri-n-naffasati fi-l-ukad! Wa min sharri Hasidin iza Hasad!” (“In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful! Say: “I seek refuge in 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 envies."

Sura “an-Nas” (“People”): “Bi-smi-llahi-r-rahmani-r-rahim! Kul a'uzu bi-rabbi-n-us! Maliki-n-us! Ilyahi-n-us! Min sharri-l-waswasi-l-khannas! Al-lyazi yuvasviu fi suduri-n-us! Mina-l-jinnati va-n-us!” (“In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful! Say: “I seek refuge in the Lord of men, the King of men, the God of men, from the evil of the tempter who retreats (or shrinks) at the remembrance of Allah, who inspires in the breasts of men and is from the jinn and men.”" ).

Say 10 times after dawn and sunset prayers: “La ilaha illa-l-lahu wahdahu la sharika lah, lahu-l-mulku wa-lahu-l-hamdu yukhyi va-yumit, wa-huva ala kulli shey’in kadir!” (“There is no deity except Allah alone, Who has no partners! Power and praise belong to Him! He gives life and kills! He is capable of every thing!”)

It is also advisable to say after dawn prayer: “Allahumma inni as’aluka ilman nafi’a, wa rizkan tayyiba, wa amalyan mutakabbala!” (“O Allah! I ask You for useful knowledge, a wonderful destiny and deeds that You will accept!”)

(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
Hayya ala ssalah

Hayyah alaal fallah
Hayyah alaal fallah

Kad Kamati ssalah
Kad Kamati ssalah

Allahu Akbar
Allahu Akbar

La ilaha illya Allah

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 your palm on left hand, clasping the wrist of the left hand with the little finger and thumb of the right 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 iyakya 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. Thumb and the little finger of the right hand clasp 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.

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.

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 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 rahmatillahi 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.

11. Say the greeting: “Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah” with your head turned 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.
