      A Simple Step by Step Guide to the Muslim Prayer - Dr. Muddassir Khan

      PREFACE

      Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem—In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

      This book is based on the Quran and the authentic statements of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The books of many scholars, both past and present, have been referred to when preparing this book. The books of scholars such as Imam ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah, Shaykh Abdul Aziz Bin Baz, Shaykh Muhammad bin Salih Al-Uthaimeen, Shaykh Mohammad Nasir Ad-Din Al-Albani, and M. Abdul Karim Saqib (Allah have mercy on them).

      Prayer is obligatory on a Muslim five times a day. It is a pillar of Islam and a starting point for a person to become a better Muslim. Prayer in Islam requires you to perform it correctly based on the teachings of the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. Concentration in prayer is paramount and this guide teaches you how to improve your concentration.

      New Muslims are eager to know how to pray. This guide teaches them in an easy stepwise manner. It will also help those who know the basics of prayer to master it and experience sweetness in their prayer. Everyone should learn the steps of prayer and how to pray correctly. This guide teaches you the meaning of the prayer so that you can easily concentrate while praying.

      I pray that Allah gives us all the ability to learn how to pray correctly and to concentrate on our prayers.

      Ameen.

      Jazak Allaahu Khair

      The Messenger sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: If there was a river at the door of anyone of you and he took a bath in it five times a day, would you notice any dirt on him?

      They said, Not a trace of dirt would be left.

      The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, added, That is the example of the five prayers with which Allah blots out evil deeds.

      Step 1

      This step requires you to memorize a few Arabic phrases and verses. The prayer can only be said in Arabic. With constant repetition, you will gradually memorize these phrases without any difficulty.

      1—Allahu Akbar

      2—A’udhu billahiminash-shaytanir-rajeem

      3—Bismillahir-rahmanir-raheem

      4—First chapter of the Quran (Surah Al-Fatiha):

      ‘Al-hamdu lillahi rabbil-alameen.

      Ar-rahmanir-raheem.

      Maaliki yawmid-deen.

      Iyyaka na’budu wa iyyaka nasta’een.

      Ihdinas-siratal-mustaqeem.

      Siratal-ladheena an’amta ‘alayhim. ghayril-maghdhubi ‘alayhim wa ladh-dhalleen.’

      5—Ameen

      6—Subhana rabbi al-’atheem

      7—Sami’ Allahu liman hamidah

      8—Rabbana wa lakal-hamd

      9—Subhana rabbi al-a’la

      10—Rabbigh fir lee

      11—The Tashahud:

      ‘At-tahiyyatu lillahi was-salawatu wat-tayyibat.

      As-salamu ‘alayka ayyuhan-nabiyyu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.

      As-salamu ‘alayna wa’ala ‘ibadillahia-saliheen.

      Ash-hadu al-la ilaha ill-Allahu

      wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasuluh.’

      12—Salutations on the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam,:

      Allahumma salli ‘ala Muhammadin wa ‘ala aali Muhammadin

      kama sallayta ‘ala Ibraheema wa ‘ala aali Ibraheema,

      innaka hameedum-majeed.

      Wa barik ‘ala Muhammadin wa ‘ala aali Muhammadin

      kama barakta ‘ala Ibraheema wa ‘ala aali Ibraheema,

      innaka hameedum-majeed

      13—As-salamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullah

      So, these 13 phrases and verses are all that is required to pray. Later after mastering them you can learn other phrases and verses from the Quran gradually.

      Step 2

      Now we will learn how to pray a 2 unit prayer such as the morning (Fajr) prayer.

      Al-hamdu lillahi rabbil-alameen.

      Ar-rahmanir-raheem.

      Maaliki yawmid-deen.

      Iyyaka na’budu wa iyyaka nasta’een.

      Ihdinas-siratal-mustaqeem.

      Siratal-ladheena an’amta ‘alayhim. ghayril-maghdhubi ‘alayhim wa ladh-dhalleen

      Since you are praying 2 units of prayer after reciting Tashahud you should complete the prayer by reciting the salutations on the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam.

      Say, ‘Allahumma salli ‘ala Muhammadin wa ‘ala aali Muhammadin kama sallayta ‘ala Ibraheema wa ‘ala aali Ibraheema, innaka hameedum-majeed.

      Wa barik ‘ala Muhammadin wa ‘ala aali Muhammadin kama barakta ‘ala Ibraheema wa ‘ala aali Ibraheema, innaka hameedum-majeed.’

      Step 3

      The compulsory prayers are five—Fajr, Dhur, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha. You can know the timings of the prayer in your location from the application ‘My prayer’. Fajr consists of two units of prayer and can be prayed in the way described in Step 2. Dhur, Asr, and Isha consist of four units of prayer. Maghrib consists of three units. So, the total units of compulsory prayers in the day are seventeen (2+4+4+3+4).

      To pray a 4 unit prayer you should pray the first 2 units similar to the 2 unit prayer until the Tashahud. After reciting the Tashahud stand up for the third unit of prayer from the sitting position by saying, ‘Allahu Akbar.’ Raise your hands after the second unit when standing up and then place them on the chest. The third and fourth units of prayer are similar to
