Box: (20824)RIYADH 11465 TEL.4030251- FAX. &30142 PermissionNo. ll73lM On 22/2/t4ll H This book may not be reproduced without prior written permission from the office PREFACE PRAISEbe to "Allah 6Wn "who ordained As Salaat (Prayer)as an act of worship on His servants, and may the utmost peaceand blessingsof Allah(SWT) be uponHis prophetwho taughtthe Ummah (Muslim nation) how best to performthe prayer. I do not intendtowrite a longpreface, but I merelywish to makea briefexplanation of my reasonsfor undertakingthis work. lt is natural that by virtue of its importance, many bookshave in the pastbeen written on the Sa/aatby different muslims in different parts of the world - may Allah 6WD reward them all for their efforts. And,while a largenumber of the works so far carriedout onSalaathave generally been well appreciated,it is however no secret also that many books on this subject suffer serious shortcomings which notably may be summarisedas follows: (1 ) Apparent lack of subject comprehensivenessin mostbooks. While, certainly, no single writer can comprehenda subject aswide as Salaat, but it is true that many books on this subjectonly make scantytouch on it. (2) The unfortunateexistence in many of the books of various matters such as recitations,supplications and even acts purportedto be part of the prayer but which cannotbe correctlytraced to having been recited and/.or performed by the Prophet(PBUH) or even by his rightly guidedCaliphs (successors). (3)Theabsence of arrangementand order in most bookswith regardto the various mattersrelating to the prayer. (4) The virtual absencein most booksof 2 TRANSLITERATIONto the various supplicationswhich a person needs to recite in the course of the Prayer. Needlessto say, but, the importanceof transliterationto the non-Arabicspeaking Muslimscannot be over-emphasised. It is in view of the foregoing that the thoughtof compilinga more appropriate treatiseon I lat aroseto me and it is by the graceoI Allah 6Wf ) that it is now in our handsalthough I am quiteconscious of how unequalI am to a subjectsuch as this one to which a man of muchgreater capabilitiesthan myselfwas required.I am, however,sustained bythe conviction that the readers will overlook mY shortcomings and treat them with indulgence. In compiling this treatise, lhave endeavouredto touchover almost all the importantaspects of the prayerand there is perhapsno other bookwhich provides such an elaborateaccount of the subject although,as mentionedearlier,Salaat is just such a wide subjectthat even this treatise is still in want of much other informationon the samebut which, Insha - Allah,shall be takeninto accountin the next reproduction. How far I have succeededin this work is not for me to say but it is my sincerehope that it will, lrshaAllah,go a long way in f ulfilling the gaps and shortcomings found in other books written so lar on the subject.The book,however cannot and, is not meant to be a substituteto the other works on the .g/aaf but rather complementive.Meanwhile, man isto err and this work may not necessarilybe free f rom errors whether tech n ica I, typographicalor otherwise.Hence, I make a kind appeal to all those who maY discoversomething incorrect in this work to communicate the same to the publishersfor due correctionin the next re-print. Compilingsuch a work, did not onlY require my referenceto a wide range of booksincluding the HolyOur'an, Hadith booksand Fiqh(jurisprudence) books but also to seek the help of other learned muslim brethrenand in this regard,my appreciationgoes to SheikhHamoud M. Al lahimand brother Abdalla Karshe both of Riyadh- maythe AlmightyAllahbless themfor their continuous counselling and advice.Similarly, this work would not havebeen complete had it notbeen for the tireless efforts of brother Muhammed AmeenCave of the Co-operativeoff ice for Call and Guidance,Riyadh who not only did the system data entering but even helpedso much in the f inalproof-reading - may Allah reward him for his shareof contributionin this work. NATHIFJ. ADAM RIYADH,21st May,1991 In this Book the words (SWT) inserted after the name of Allah stand for ,,SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA" WhiCh means "The Glorified,the Most High"; while, the words(PBUH) inserted after the nameof the Prophetstand for " pEACEBE UPONHIM". 6 AS-SALAAT (PRAYER) INTRODUCTION Salaat (PraYer) is one of the main obfigations which "Attah 6Wn" has ordainedon His servants.lt is the first act of worshipdecreed on the Muslim Nation (Ummah) bY "Allah 6Wn " and was ordained on the night of the Prophet's (PBUHlascensionto the sevenheavens. lt is the secondof the five pillarsof lslam after the proclamationof the "Shahada" (the words of witness)' It is enjoined on the Muslims as an obfigatory act by" Allah 6wff'as can be noted from the following verses of the HolyOur'an: ,'ESTABLISHREGULAR PRAYERSAT THE SUru'S DECLINE TILL THE NIGHT, AND THE DARKNESS OF THE '(Our'a MORNTNGPRAYER"" "' n 17:781 I In anotherverse "Allah 6Wn" says: ..AND ESTABLISH REGULAR PRAYERS AT THE TWO ENDS OF THE DAY AND AT THE APPROACHES OF THE NIGHT.'' (Our'an11:114!. The importanceof the Salaat has also been explicitly expressed by Allah's Messenger(PBUH), as can be notedfrom the followingsayings: "What lies between a perfect man and disbelief is the leaving of prayer". (Related by lmamsAhmed and Muslim) The Prophet(PBUH) also said: "The obligation which separates us from them (the non-believers)is the prayer and he who renounces it becomes a disbeliever." (Relatedby lmams Ahmed and Muslim) The abovequoted Our'anic commands by "Altah ,Swff'and the honouredsayings of the Prophet(PBUH) clearly indicate the importanceof Salaat such that it is unanimously agreed bY all Muslim scholarsthat renouncingit is regardedan act of disbelief(Kufr).

(Our'an 23:1-2l, 3 It is a deliverance on the Day of Judgementfor thosewho usedto observe it well. The Prophet(PBUH) says: "The first thing that the servant of "Allah (SWT)"will be calledto accounlfor on the Dayof Judgementwill be the prayer;and if it was goodthe person'sdeeds will have been good,but if it was bad,the person's deedswill have been bad". (Reportedby lmambhukari) Prayer purifiqp the soul, refines the character and inculcatesin man the excellentvirtues of truthfulness,honesty and modesty.lt keepsone who performsit from falsehood and from all forbidden actions as is categoricallyconfirmed by the following verseof the Holy Our,an: "...VERILY, PRAYER REFRAINSFROM INDECENCYAND EVIL..."(Our'an 29:45) 4 WUDHU(ABLUTION) Prior to entering Salaat,the person is requ ired to underta ke a certain purification procedureknown as"W udh u" withoutwhich, the person'sprayer would not be acceptablein the sight of "Allah (SWT)."Allah, the AlmightY,saYs: ,'O YE WHO BELIEVE.

  • Haidh (Menstruation Or Period)
    Women's Issues Made Simple Batul S. Arastu - XKP Published: 2013 Categorie(s): Non-Fiction, Religion, Islam Tag(s): "women issues" "muslim women" "ghusl in islam" "ayatullah sist- ani" "islamic hijab" menses paak istehaza istadha xkp Menstruation qaleelah mutawasit kaseera haidh haiz Menopause ruling for menstrual 1 Chapter 1 Author’s Preface Before I came to Qum I had many questions regarding specific issues related to women, the Islamic rules women must follow. One of the main issues all women face is that of different blood cycles. There are a lot of Fiqh (Jurisprudence) books that cover these sensitive topics for women, but I often found them very confusing for myself. Alhamdulillah, join- ing the Houza (Seminary) in Qum helped me in understanding these confusing issues. Apart from wanting to share what I learnt, I wanted to make my life easy so I decided to write a very simple book that talks mainly about different issues women face. In this book we will be mainly discussing different blood cycles and the different women who are special in their own way. When you read this book you will be able to figure out what kind of a blood cycle you have and InshaAllah you will be able to perform your duties as per the laws of Islam, which is obligatory on all of us. This book is written according to the rulings of Ayatullah Khomeini and Ayatullah Seestani. Although most of the Maraaji’ have similar views on these issues, it is important that sisters who follow other Maraaji’ should check with their own Marja`, because there may be minor differences in the rulings.

  • Digital Islam in Indonesia: the Shift of Ritual and Religiosity During Covid-19
    ISSUE: 2021 No. 107 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 12 August 2021 Digital Islam in Indonesia: The Shift of Ritual and Religiosity during Covid-19 Wahyudi Akmaliah and Ahmad Najib Burhani* Covid-19 has forced various Muslim groups to adopt digital platforms in their religious activities. Controversy, however, abounds regarding the online version of the Friday Prayer. In Islamic law, this ritual is wajib (mandatory) for male Muslims. In this picture, Muslims observe Covid-19 coronavirus social distancing measures during Friday prayers at Agung mosque in Bandung on 2 July 2021. Photo: Timur Matahari, AFP. * Wahyudi Akmaliah is a PhD Student at the Malay Studies Department, National University of Singapore (NUS). Ahmad Najib Burhani is Visiting Senior Fellow at ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute and Research Professor at the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), Jakarta. The authors wish to thank Lee Sue-Ann and Norshahril Saat for their comments and suggestions on this article. 1 ISSUE: 2021 No. 107 ISSN 2335-6677 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Before the Covid-19 pandemic, the use of digital platforms in religious rituals was already becoming an increasingly common practice among Indonesian preachers to reach out to young audiences. During the pandemic, some Muslim organisations and individual preachers have speeded up the use of such platforms as a way to communicate with people and to continue with religious practices among the umma. • Among religious rituals that have shifted online are the virtual tahlil (praying and remembering dead person), silaturahim (visiting each other) during Eid al-Fitr, haul (commemorating the death of someone), and tarawih (night prayer during Ramadan).

    COURSE NOTES All that is good and correct is from Allah (subhanahu wa-ta‘ala) alone – the compilers are solely responsible for any mistakes and errors. Divine Link – Fiqh of Salah Shaykh Yaser Birjas 2 Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim 01 | Introduction Five days before the Prophet (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) passed away, he was on his deathbed. When you are on your deathbed and talk, you will be saying the most important things in your life. These are the last moments of you life. Think about that time and imagine that you were told that you would be dying in a few days. As you talk to people, what message would you deliver to people? It would be the most important things to you. The Prophet (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) five days before he passed away was suffering from the pains of death, and he was suffering for more than fourteen days. One of the companions came and saw him (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) aching so much. He said, “Ya Rasulullah, you are suffering so much pain. Why is that?” He (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “I suffer double the pain any of you will suffer.” He said, “Is it because you are getting double reward?” He (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “I hope so.” At that time, he (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) would feel the pain and cover his face, and then when it would stop, he would uncover his face and say, “La ilaha ilAllah. Death has its agonies and pains.” He used to fall unconscious and recover and fall unconscious and recover.
