BEFORE 1. Cleanliness

PRAYER 2.
3.
Wudu
Awrah
AGENDA 4.
5.
Facing the Qiblah
Prayer Times
6. Intention before Salah
Cleanliness

1. This is the cleanliness of the body, clothes, and

where the prayer will be performed.
2. We should also wash and dry ourselves properly
every time we use the restroom and remember to
wash and clean our hands. We know how easily
germs spread from our very own hands to our
bodies as well as to other people.
Wudu
It is a compulsory act of washing up
before a prayer.

"O, you who believe! When you prepare

for a prayer, wash your faces, and your
hands (and arms) to the elbows; rub your
heads (with water); and (wash) your feet
to your ankles."

[Quran 5:7]
As we understand by this
verse is the four Fard of
wudu;

1. WASHING THE FACE

2. WASHING THE HANDS

AND ARMS UP TO THE
ELBOWS Continuing
3. WIPING HEAD WITH A
WET HAND
Wudu
4. WASHING FEET UP TO
THE ANKLES
Awrah
Covering certain parts of the body

Before we begin to pray, we must make

sure that certain parts of the body are
covered. For males, at least the part from
the belly to the knees should be covered.
For females, excluding the face, hands,
and feet, all the rest should be covered
Facing the Qiblah

During prayer, we must face the Kaaba (The house

of Allah) in Makkah, Mecca in Saudi Arabia. This
is called Facing the Qiblah. We can decide the
direction of the Qiblah using a compass. If we do
not have one, we can use the sun. If there is no way
of finding the Qiblah then we decide on the
direction and make the intention of "I have turned
towards the Qiblah". This intention should be made
by the heart and recited with the tongue.
Prayer Times
Each prayer must be performed within its
time. For example, the afternoon prayer
can only be performed after the time of
noon and the evening prayers. The
afternoon prayer has passed, and before
the time of the evening prayer has
entered. This means the afternoon prayer
can only be performed between the noon
and the evening prayers. The afternoon
prayer will not be valid if prayed outside
its time.

Making intention
for the salah
Before we begin, we must make intention for the prayer
we are about to perform. For example, if we are praying
the Fard of the Morning Prayer for the sake of Allah.
 THE SIX PRINCIPLES
(DURING PRAYER)
DURING 1. Takbeer

PRAYER 2.
3.
Qiyam
Qiraat
AGENDA 4.
5.
Ruqu
Sujud
6. Qada-I Akhirah
Takbeer
We must make Takbeer at the beginning of
the prayer. Takbeer is "Allahu Akbar". It is
like a key opening a spiritual door. We have
to enter Allah's presence with respect.
Qiyam
Standing up straight. At this position, we need to
stand straight long enough to recite a verse.

Qiyam is an integral part of the prayer. The

prayer begins in the standing position and some
prayers require the Qiyam, such as Salat al-
Janazah.
Qiraat
Qiraat are called readings or recitations
because the Quran was originally spread
and passed down orally, and though there
was a written text, it did not include most
vowels or distinguish between many
consonants, allowing for many variations.
Ruqu

The act of belt-low bowing in standardized prayers,

where the backbone should be in rest, before
straightening up to go for sujud.
Prostrating • Sujud is one of the main pillars of daily prayers of Islam.
A single act of sujud is called a sajdah.
 Qada-l Akhirah
It means sitting in the last rak'ah of prayer after sajdahs (prostrations). Sitting after
the second and fourth rak'ahs in the prayer is called qa'da. The sitting in prayer is
performed after the second and third rak'ahs of Maghrib and Witr prayers, which
consist of three rak'ahs.
