Praying Namaz, also known as Salah, is one of the five pillars of Islam and holds significant importance in the lives of Muslims. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to perform the five daily prayers (Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha):
Perform Wudu (Ablution):
- Before starting the prayer, Muslims perform Wudu, a ritual purification involving washing specific body parts (hands, mouth, nose, face, arms, head, and feet) with clean water.
Face the Qibla:
- Determine the direction of the Qibla (the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia). This direction varies depending on your geographic location. Using a compass or smartphone app can help you find the Qibla direction.
Intention (Niyyah):
- Before starting each prayer, make a sincere intention in your heart for the specific prayer you are about to perform. The intention should be for the sake of Allah and align with the specific prayer time.
Start the Prayer (Rakah):
- Each prayer consists of a specific number of Rakahs (units of prayer). The number of Rakahs varies for different prayers:
- Fajr: 2 Rakahs
- Dhuhr: 4 Rakahs
- Asr: 4 Rakahs
- Maghrib: 3 Rakahs
- Isha: 4 Rakahs
- Each prayer consists of a specific number of Rakahs (units of prayer). The number of Rakahs varies for different prayers:
Takbir al-Ihram:
- Raise your hands and say "Allahu Akbar" (God is the Greatest) to commence the prayer. This is called Takbir al-Ihram.
Recite Al-Fatihah:
- After Takbir al-Ihram, recite Surah Al-Fatihah, the first chapter of the Quran, in every Rakah.
Recite Additional Verses (Optional):
- After Al-Fatihah, you can recite additional verses (Surahs) from the Quran in each Rakah, or you may continue with another chapter.
Ruk'ah (Bowing):
- During the first and second Rakahs, perform Ruk'ah by bowing down with your hands resting on your knees, and say "Subhana Rabbiyal Azeem" (Glory be to my Lord, the Almighty).
Sujood (Prostration):
- After Ruk'ah, perform Sujood by prostrating on the ground with your forehead, nose, palms, knees, and toes touching the floor. Say "Subhana Rabbiyal A'la" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High) while in prostration.
Tashahhud:
- In the final Rakah, sit in a specific position and recite the Tashahhud, a declaration of faith and praise to Allah.
Finish the Prayer:
- To complete the prayer, turn your head to the right and say "Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah" (Peace and mercy of Allah be upon you) and then turn to the left and repeat the greeting.
