salaah

Prolong the Qiyaam (standing) after rising from Rukoo' (bowing) and the Jalsah (sitting) after rising from Sajdah (prostration), so that you may maintain an equilibrium among all the positions of Salaah. The standing after the rising from Rukoo' (bowing) is a stance of praising Allah, so utter many greetings, praises and extolments of Allah in it.

Midfielder Salaah Al Yahyaei came close to an instant riposte for Oman, only for Palestine captain Ghanim Mahajna to turn his shot to safety at full stretch.

As in Friday's opening 1-0 win over Nepal, Hamed al-Azani's side were largely in control early, but several missed opportunities meant Oman were unable to capitalise, with Afghanistan goalkeeper Faisal Hamidi making an excellent stop to deny Salaah al-Yahyaei in one of the standout moments of the first half.

By Sheikh Abdul-Aziz Ibn Baz (rahimahullah) Some of the due rights on us towards our Lord is the performance of Salaah in congregation and avoid behaving like the hypocrites who are described by Almighty Allah as: The hypocrites, they think they are over-reaching Allah, but He will over-reach them.

The second pillar of Islam, Salaah [prayer] has been described as follows by Sir Arnold: "The religion of the Muslim is continuously present with him and, in the daily prayer, manifests itself in a solemn and impressive ritual which cannot leave either the worshipper or the spectator unaffected."

Allah Almighty Says (what means), "And abide in your houses..." [Qur'an 33:33] Of course women can go out for Salaah (prayer) in the Masjid (mosque), participate in any other activities she may need and to do Da'wah.

I have made some of my offspring to dwell in an uncultivable valley by Your Sacred House (the Ka'aba at Makkah) in order, O our Lord, that they may perform salaah (prayer).

The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said: Islam is founded upon five pillars: The declaration that there is no true deity worthy of worship besides Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, the performance of prayer (salaah), giving zakaat (due alms), fasting in the month of Ramadan, and pilgrimage (Haj) to the inviolable House of Allah for whoever has the means.

So make hearts among the people incline toward them and provide for them from the fruits that they might be grateful.} [Qur'an 14:37] Note that though Ibraaheem, may Allah exalt his mention, acknowledges in his supplication the scarcity of food and water faced by his family--an urgent matter of life and death--the first affair of significance that Ibraaheem, may Allah exalt his mention, places before Allah Almighty is the high purpose of his intent: To facilitate his family in the establishment of Salaah (prayer).

This recitation in every rak'ah is one of the pillars of Salaah, or prayer.
