Product Information

Allaahumma Baarak Alaa Muhammadin Wa’ Alaa Aale Muhammadin —•Oh Allah, send your blessing on Muhammad (PBUH) and the true followers of Muhammad (PBUH), There are many forms of worship within Islam and Salat is among the most important obligations for the Muslim.Namaz is a lot of significance in our daily lives and we need to be aware of. When it’s time for Salah, ensure you have wudu and you are wearing clothing that, at a minimum, covers your awrah. The awrah for men is to cover everything from and including the navel to the knees. Women must cover everything except the hands, feet and face. If you are praying Dhuhr, ‘Asr, Maghrib or ‘Isha, do not perform steps 25 to 28. Instead, you must repeat step 10 - reciting Surah al-Fatihah while standing. fa’ghfir li ma’ghfiratan min ‘indika warhamni —• so grant me forgiveness from you and have mercy on me.

Then as you stand up fully straight again say, ‘Sami‘-Allahu liman hamidaH’ - ‘Allah heard the one who praised Him’. Then say, ‘Rabbana laKal hamd’ - ‘O our Lord, all praise belongs to You’. Duaa: Rabbana Aatina Fid Duniya Hasanataw Wafil Aakhirati Hasanataw —•“Our Lord, grant us the good of this world and that of the Hereafter

Salah is the second of five pillars of Islam. Performing Salah five times daily is compulsory for all Muslims past puberty, which is the age of legal responsibility. It gives us an opportunity to communicate with Allah, remember Him, show our gratitude to Him, with the act of prostration being the moment we are closest to Him. Salah is a gift for every believer and it is the first thing we are accounted for on the Day of Judgement. Note: All of Fajr must be read out loud for men praying in congregation. Dhuhr and ‘Asr must be made in complete silence and under your breath. The first two Rak‘ahs of Maghrib and ‘Isha should be read out loud, the remaining are to be read in silence. HOWEVER, if you are praying the four Rak‘ah of Dhuhr, ‘Asr or ‘Isha, please ignore step 31! Instead, repeat steps 29 and 30 again. Place your right hand over your left, just below the naval. Women should place their hands over their chest.

It is then highly recommended to recite some supplications (du‘a). One very simple and comprehensive one is, ‘Rabbana aatina fid-dunya hasanataw wa fil-aakhirati hasantaw wa qina ‘adhaaban Naar’. This means, ‘O our Lord give us good in this world and good in the hereafter and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.’
