Prayer why Salat and whats that all about?

In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful. All praise be 


to God, Lord of the Universe; the Compassionate, the Merciful. 


Sovereign of the Day of Judgment! You alone we worship; and to 


You alone we return for help. Guide us to the straight path; the 


path of those whom You have favored; not of those who have 


incurred Your wrath, nor of those who have gone astray. Amen.

Islam is the final culmination and fulfillment of the same basic truth 


that God revealed through all His prophets to every people. A way 


of life symbolized by peace-peace with God, peace within oneself, 


and peace with the creations of God through submission to God and 


commitment to His guidance.

SALAT (Prayer): The Second Pillar of Islam

Meaning and Concept

Prayer (salat) is a devotion which consists of verbal supplication 


coupled with certain body movements to augment the spiritual 


effect of devotion in the presence of the Almighty God, which 


leads to communion with the Lord of all the universe. It is started 


by the Takbir (saying Allahu-Akbar, i.e., "God is the Greatest") and 


ended by Taslim (saying Assalam Alaykum Wa Rahmatullah, i.e., 


"Peace and mercy of God be upon you.")

Salat (Prayer): The Second Pillar of Islam

Performance of prayer is the second fundamental principle in Islam 


after belief in God and Prophet Muhammad, (peace be upon him) It 


symbolizes the spiritual relation between the person who has faith 


in God. The Muslim is enjoined to perform five obligatory prayers 


every day to keep himself in touch with his Lord, to invoke and 


implore Him, and to refrain himself from committing lewdness or 


indecency. The prayers do not only ensure psychological ease to 


the Muslim in this present life, but they also pave the way to him to 


gain eternal happiness in the Hereafter.

Prayer should be performed promptly, perfectly, sincerely, and 


regularly at the appointed hour by a Muslim, who must keep it up 


under all conditions; even in times of traveling and sickness it must 


be observed with full humility. In this sense, the Holy Quran says:



{Verily As-Salat (The Prayers) is enjoined on the believers at 


(fixed) hours} (Quran 4:103)


Further evidence from the Quran states:

" And they were commanded not, but that they should worship 


God, And worship none but Him Alone (Abstaining from ascribing 


partners to Him), And perform As-Salat (Iqamat As-Salat) and give 


Zakat, And that is the right religion." (Quran 98:5)

In the first of these two verses, God 


tells people that prayer is a prescribed 




duty on all believers and that they 


should fulfil this duty at its fixed time. 


In the second verse, God makes it 


well-known to mankind that He has 


created them in order to worship Him 


alone, to be sincere in their devotion 


to Him, to perform prayer and to pay 


the Zakat (obligatory charity) to those 




who deserve it. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "The 


obligation which distinguishes between us and the unbelievers is 


prayer". Therefore, whoever desists from prayer becomes an 


unbeliever." Thus, prayer is a duty on the Muslim in all 


circumstances. Even if he is sick or frightened he should perform 


his daily prayers, sitting, standing or lying. If he is unable to 






perform them in any of these ways, he is permitted to perform them 


with his eye movements, or even in his heart.

Those Upon Whom Prayer is MandatoryPrayer is mandatory on 


every adult and sane Muslim. The Prophet (peace be upon him) 


said:

"The pen is lifted from three [persons who will not be taken to 


account]: the insane whose rationality has been overcome until he 


recovers, the sleeper until he wakes, and the children until they 


attain puberty". (Ahmad and Abu Dawud)

The father and mother should teach their children how to perform 


prayer. They should order them gently to perform it when they 


reach seven years and punish them for neglecting it when they 


reach ten years. In this way they get used to it, and it becomes a 


natural practice that they will uphold after puberty.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:

"Teach your children prayer when they reach seven, and punish 


them (for neglecting it) when they reach ten, and also separate t


hem from sleeping together. " (Ahmad)

The following are the words to a typical Muslim prayer:

Opening recitation: Al Fatiha

In the Name of God the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

The Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds

Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Master of the Day of Judgment

You alone do we worship,

And it id Your aid we seek

Guide us unto the straight path,

The path of those upon You have bestowed Your grace,

And not the path of those who have gained Your anger,

Nor have gone astray... Amen.

Then the worshipper says "God is Most Great" and goes into the 




bowing position and says three times

"Glorified is my Lord the Most Great".

Then he returns to the 


standing position and says 


"God listens to those who 


praise Him. My Lord, all 


praises are truly unto 


You."

He then would go into the 


position of prostration 


and with his forehead on 


the ground say "Glorified 


is my Lord the Most High" three times. He would then sit back and 


say "My Lord forgive me and have mercy on me" and then go back 


into the prostrating position once more.

Concluding the prayer, the Muslim utters these final words of 


the prayer:

All salutation, all physical prayer and

momentary worship are for God.

Peace be upon you, O' Prophet,

and God's mercy and blessings be upon you.

Peace be on us and on all righteous servants of God.

I bear witness that no one is worthy of worship except God

And I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

O' God, send grace and honor on Muhammad and

On the family and true followers of Muhammad

just as you sent Grace and Hon our on Abraham

and on the family and true followers of Abraham

Surely, you are praiseworthy, the Great.

O' God, send your blessing on Muhammad and

the true followers of Muhammad, just

as you sent blessings on Abraham

and his true followers

Surely, you are praiseworthy, the Great.

(♥) May Allah  have peace and Mercy upon us
