How to read namaz. Let's learn how to do namaz correctly. Can the sunnah of morning prayer

With the help of which a person conducts a dialogue with the Almighty. By reading it, a Muslim pays tribute to devotion to Allah. Performing namaz is obligatory for all believers. Without it, a person loses contact with God and commits a sin, for which, according to the canons of Islam, he will be severely punished on the Day of Judgment.

It is necessary to read namaz five times a day at a strictly prescribed time. Wherever a person is, no matter what he is doing, he is obliged to pray. Fajr, as Muslims also call it, is especially important; it has enormous power. Its fulfillment is equivalent to a prayer that a person would read all night.

What time do you perform morning prayer?

Fajr prayer should be performed early in the morning, when a white stripe appears on the horizon and the sun has not yet risen. It is during this period of time that devout Muslims pray to Allah. It is advisable that a person begins the sacred action 20-30 minutes before sunrise. In Muslim countries, people can be guided by the adhan coming from the mosque. It’s more difficult for people living in other places. How do you know when to perform Fajr prayer? The time of its occurrence can be determined by a special calendar or schedule called Ruznama.

Some Muslims use mobile applications for these purposes, for example “Prayer Time ® Muslim Toolbox”. It will help you know when to start prayer and determine where the holy Kaaba is located.

In the Arctic Circle, where day and night last longer than usual, it is more difficult for people to decide on the time at which to perform namaz. Fajr, however, must be performed. Muslims recommend focusing on the time in Mecca or in a nearby country, where the change of day and night occurs at a normal rhythm. The last option is preferable.

What is the power of Fajr prayer?

People who regularly pray to Allah before sunrise show deep patience and true faith. After all, in order to perform Fajr, it is necessary to rise before dawn every day, and not sleep in a sweet dream, succumbing to the persuasion of the shaitan. This is the first test that the morning has in store for a person, and it must be passed with dignity.

People who do not succumb to shaitan and read prayer on time will be protected by the Almighty from adversity and problems until the next day. In addition, they will succeed in eternal life, because the observance of prayer will count for everyone on the Day of Judgment.

This prayer in Islam has enormous power, because on the eve of dawn, the angels of the passing night and the coming day are next to a person, who carefully watch him. Allah will then ask them what his slave was doing. The angels of the night will answer that, when leaving, they saw him praying, and the angels of the coming day will say that they also found him praying.

Stories of the Sahabah who performed the morning prayer against all odds

Fajr requires strict observance, no matter what circumstances arise in a person’s life. In those distant times, when the Prophet Muhammad was still alive, people performed real feats in the name of faith. They performed namaz in spite of everything.

The Sahabah, the companions of the Messenger of the Almighty, performed morning Fajr even when wounded. No misfortune could stop them. Thus, the outstanding statesman Umar ibn al-Khattab read a prayer while bleeding after an assassination attempt on him. He never thought of giving up serving Allah.

And the companion of the Prophet Muhammad Abbad was struck by an arrow at the moment of performing prayer. He pulled her out of his body and continued to pray. The enemy shot at him several more times, but this did not stop Abbad.

Sada ibn Rabi, who was also seriously wounded, died while performing prayer in a tent specially built for the sacred event.

Preparation for prayer: ablution

Prayer in Islam requires certain preparation. Before proceeding to any prayer, be it Fajr, Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib or Isha, a Muslim is required to perform a ritual ablution. In Islam it is called voodoo.

A devout Muslim washes his hands (hands), face, rinses his mouth and nose. He performs each action three times. Next, the believer washes each hand up to the elbow with water: first the right, then the left. After this he wipes his head. With a wet hand, the Muslim runs along it from the forehead to the back of the head. Next, he wipes the ears inside and out. Having washed his feet to the ankles, the believer should complete his ablution with words of remembrance of Allah.

During prayer, Islam requires men to cover their bodies from the navel to the knees. The rules for women are stricter. It should be completely covered. The only exceptions are the face and hands. Under no circumstances should you wear tight or dirty clothing. The person’s body, his vestments and the place where he prays must be clean. If wudhu is not enough, you need to perform full body ablution (ghusl).

Fajr: rakat and terms

Each of the five prayers consists of rak'ahs. This is the name for one cycle of prayer, which is repeated two to four times. The quantity depends on what kind of prayer a Muslim performs. Each rakah includes a certain sequence of actions. Depending on the type of prayer, it may vary slightly.

Let's look at what fajr consists of, how many rakats a believer must perform and how to perform them correctly. Morning prayer consists of only two consecutive cycles of prayer.

Some of the actions included in them have specific names that came to us from the Arabic language. Below is a list of the most necessary concepts that a believer should know:

• niyat - intention to perform namaz;
• takbir - exaltation of Allah (the words “Allahu Akbar”, meaning “Allah is Great”);
• kyyam - staying in a standing position;
• sajda - kneeling pose or prostration;
• dua - prayer;
• Taslim - greeting, the final part of the prayer.

Now let's look at both cycles of Fajr prayer. How to read a prayer, people who have only recently converted to Islam will ask? In addition to following the sequence of actions, it is necessary to monitor the pronunciation of words. Of course, a true Muslim not only pronounces them correctly, but also puts his soul into them.

First rakat of Fajr prayer

The first cycle of prayer begins with niyat in the qiyam position. The believer expresses his intention mentally by mentioning the name of the prayer.

Then the Muslim should raise his hands at ear level, touch his thumbs to his earlobes and point his palms towards the qibla. While in this position, he must recite takbir. It must be spoken out loud, and it is not necessary to do it out loud. In Islam, one can exalt Allah in a whisper, but in such a way that the believer can hear himself.

Then he covers the left hand with the palm of his right hand, clasping the wrist with the little finger and thumb, lowers his hands just below the navel and reads the first surah of the Koran “Al-Fatiha”. If desired, a Muslim can recite an additional chapter from the Holy Scriptures.

This is followed by a bow, straightening and sajdah. Next, the Muslim straightens his back, remaining in a kneeling position, once again prostrates himself before Allah and straightens up again. This concludes the performance of the rakat.

Second rakat of Fajr prayer

The cycles included in the morning prayer (fajr) are performed in different ways. In the second rak'ah there is no need to recite the niyat. The Muslim takes the qiyam position, folding his hands on his chest, as in the first cycle, and begins to recite Surah Al-Fatihah.

Then he makes two prostrations and sits on his legs shifted to the right side. In this position, you need to say the dua “At-tahiyat”.

At the end he recites the taslim. He pronounces it twice, turning his head first towards the right shoulder, then towards the left.

This ends the prayer. Fajr is performed by both men and women. However, they perform it differently.

How do women perform morning prayer?

When performing the first rakat, the woman should keep her hands at shoulder level, while the man raises them to his ears.

She makes a bow from the waist that is not as deep as a man, and while reading Surah Al-Fatiha, she folds her hands on her chest, and not below the navel.

The rules for performing prayer differ slightly from those for men. In addition to them, Muslim women should know that it is prohibited to perform it during menstruation (haid) or postpartum bleeding (nifas). Only after being cleansed of impurity will she be able to perform the prayer correctly, otherwise the woman will become a sinner.

What should a person do if he misses his morning prayer?

It is worth touching on another important issue. What should a Muslim do if he missed his morning prayer? In such a situation, the reason why he made such an oversight should be taken into account. A person’s further actions depend on whether she is respectful or not. For example, if a Muslim set an alarm clock, deliberately went to bed early, but despite all his actions overslept, he can fulfill his duty to the Almighty at any free time, since, in fact, he is not to blame.

However, if the reason was disrespectful, then the rules are different. The Fajr prayer should be performed as quickly as possible, but not during those time periods when prayer is strictly prohibited.

When should prayer not be performed?

There are several such intervals in a day during which it is extremely undesirable to pray. These include periods

• after reading the morning prayer and before sunrise;
• within 15 minutes after dawn, until the luminary rises in the sky to the height of one spear;
• when it is at its zenith;
• after reading asra (afternoon prayer) until sunset.

At any other time, you can make up for the prayer, but it is better not to neglect the sacred action, because the pre-dawn prayer read on time, into which a person has put his heart and soul, as the Prophet Muhammad said, is better than the whole world, more significant than everything that fills it. A Muslim who performs Fajr at sunrise will not go to hell, but will be awarded great rewards that Allah will bestow on him.

Where should a woman start performing prayer? Before answering this question, it is necessary to understand what namaz is, how to read it, and find out the procedure for performing namaz for women.

Namaz is the most important pillar of the Islamic faith, one of the five concepts that define the very essence of religion. Every Muslim man and woman is obliged to perform namaz, because this is the very worship of the Almighty, a prayer to Him and a sign that the believer completely submits to the Lord and surrenders himself to His will.

Performing namaz cleanses a person’s soul, helps illuminate his heart with the light of goodness and truth, and raises his significance in the eyes of Allah. In essence, namaz is a person’s direct communication with the Lord. Let us remember how the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) spoke about prayer: “Namaz is the support of religion. Whoever abandons prayer destroys his religion.”

For a Muslim, namaz is a way to cleanse the soul from sinful thoughts, from the human desire for vices, from the evil that has accumulated in the soul. Namaz is necessary not only for men, but also for women. Once the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him!) addressed his supporters: “Will dirt remain on your body if you bathe five times in the river that flows in front of your house?” They answered the Prophet: “O Messenger of Allah, there will be no dirt left.” The Prophet (peace be upon him!) said: “This is an example of the five prayers that a believer performs, and through this Allah washes away his sins, just as this water washes away dirt.”

What is the key, even critical, importance of prayer for a Muslim? The fact is that according to prayer on the Day of Judgment, the Lord will determine a person’s value for Himself and will consider his earthly actions. And Allah does not discriminate between men and women.

It is known that many Muslim women are afraid of the very beginning of performing namaz, because they do not know how to do it correctly. In no case can this become an obstacle to a woman’s path to fulfilling her obligations to the Lord. By not performing prayer, a woman deprives her soul of peace and tranquility; she does not receive generous rewards from Allah. Her family will not be peaceful and prosperous, and she will not be able to raise her children according to Islamic standards.

Namaz for beginners should be carried out under the supervision and with the help of experienced Muslims who are ready to help an inexperienced beginner.

How to perform namaz correctly for women?

First of all, you need to find out what salt is, how many obligatory prayers there are and how many rakats they include.

Solat is a prayer, an appeal to Allah, a namaz. The prayer consists of three parts - fard prayer, sunnah prayer, and nafl prayer. The most important step on the path to performing prayer is fard prayer, which is obligatory for every Muslim.

Rakat is the name given to the order in which certain actions are performed during prayer. The morning Ard-Fajr includes 2 rak'ahs, the midday (az-Zuhr) - 4 rak'ahs, the afternoon (al-Asr) - 4 rak'ahs, the evening or al-Maghrib - 3 rak'ahs. For the night prayer al-Isha, 4 rak'ahs are allocated.

The rakat includes one rukah (as bows from the waist are called in Islam), as well as two sajdas (as bows to the ground are called). To start performing this prayer for beginner women, it is important to memorize the suras and duas used in performing the prayer as soon as possible, learn the rakats and the order of their performance. You need to know at least 3 Quranic surahs, about 5 duas and Surah Fatiha. In addition, the woman will have to learn how to perform wudhu and ghusl.

A beginning woman can be taught how to perform namaz by her husband or relatives. You can also use training videos, of which there are many on the Internet. With the help of the video, a Muslim woman will clearly see the actions during prayer, their sequence, learn the order of reading duas and surahs, and learn to hold her hands and body in the correct position. It is worth remembering the words of al-Luknawi: “Many actions of a woman during prayer differ from the actions of men...” (“Al-Siyaya”, volume 2, p. 205).

Namaz for beginners from two rak'ahs

The morning Fajr prayer contains only two rak'ahs, so it cannot be called complex. In addition, this prayer is used when performing additional prayer.

The procedure for performing morning prayer for women is common to all Muslims. The main difference between male and female Fajr prayer is the position of the limbs. To correctly perform this type of prayer, a woman needs to not only pronounce judgments and duas in Arabic, but also be sure to understand the meaning behind them. In this article we will give the procedure for performing namaz with the translation of surahs. Of course, if a woman could attract an Arabic language teacher to memorize the surahs, this would be an ideal option. But, in the absence of one, you can use training programs. The most important point is the correct pronunciation of all words in Arabic. To make it easier for a beginner woman, we have translated the suras and duas into Russian, although, of course, such a translation cannot fully reflect the pronunciation of the words.

Two rak'ahs of fard prayer

• Before performing namaz, a woman must achieve complete ritual purity. For this purpose, ghusl and wudu are made - this is what Islam calls two types of ritual ablution.
• The woman's body should be almost completely hidden. Only the hands, feet and face remain open.
• We stand facing the Kaaba.
• We inform Allah with our hearts about what kind of prayer we are going to perform. For example, a woman can read to herself: “For the sake of Allah, I intend to perform 2 rakats of fard of today’s morning prayer.”
• Raise both arms so that the fingertips reach shoulder level. The palms should be turned towards the Kaaba. We pronounce the initial takbir: اَللهُ أَكْبَرْ “Allahu Akbar.” During Takbir, a woman must look at the place where her head will touch when bowing to the ground. We hold our hands at the chest, place our fingers at shoulder level. The feet should be parallel with the distance of approximately one hand minus the thumb
• After pronouncing Takbir, we fold our hands on our chest. The right hand should lie on the left hand. Men take their left wrist when praying, but women do not need to do this.
• Having reached the above-described position and still looking at the place of saj (prostration), we read the dua “Sana”: “Subhanakya Allahumma wa Bihamdikya Wa Tabarakya-Smuk” I wa ta'ala jaddukya wa la ilaha gairuk." (Allah! You are above all shortcomings, all praise is to You, the presence of Your Name is endless in everything, Your Greatness is high, and besides You we worship no one). Let us remember Aisha, who told people the following hadith: “The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) began the prayer after the opening takbir with this doxology: “Subhanaka...”.
• The next stage is reading أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ “Auuzu bil-lyahi mina-shaytaani r-rajim” (I seek refuge with Allah from Satan being stoned).
• We read بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحيِمِ “Bis-mi Llyahi-Rrahmani-Rrahim” (In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful).
• Without changing the position of the body, we read the most important surah Fatiha in prayer:

بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّ‌حْمَـٰنِ الرَّ‌حِيمِ

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّـهِ رَ‌بِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

الرَّ‌حْمَـٰنِ الرَّ‌حِيم

مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ

إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ

اهْدِنَا الصِّرَ‌اطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ

صِرَ‌اطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ

غَيْرِ‌ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ

Alhamdulillahi Rabbi al-'alamiin! Ar-Rahmani-r-Rahim! Maliki yawwmiddin. Iyyaka na'budu wa iyyaka nasta'in. Ikhdi-na-s-Syrat-al-mustaqim. Syrat-al-lyazina an ‘amta ‘alayhim. Gairi-l-magdubi ‘aleihim wa lyaddaaa-lliiin.”

(Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds! The Gracious, the Merciful, the King on the Day of Judgment. We worship You and ask You to help! Lead us along the straight road, Along the path of those whom You have blessed - not those who are under anger, and not lost).

• Maintaining the position of the body, we read out any sura known to us. Surah Al-Kawthar is perfect:

إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ‌

فَصَلِّ لِرَ‌بِّكَ وَانْحَرْ‌

إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الْأَبْتَرُ‌

“Inna a’taina kal-kausar. Fasalli li Rabbika vanhar. Inna shaniaka huwa-l-abtar.” (We have granted you al-Kawsar (countless blessings, including the river of the same name in Paradise). Therefore, perform prayer for the sake of your Lord and slaughter the sacrifice. Verily, your hater himself will be unknown).

In principle, when praying for beginner women, it is enough to read Surah Fatiha and then proceed to perform the Hand.

The hand is done as follows: we bend in a bow, leaving the back parallel to the floor. We say “Allah Akbar”. For representatives of the fairer sex, it is not necessarily enough to just lean forward a little, because it is quite difficult to completely straighten your back and not every woman is capable of this. When performing the Hand, the hands should rest against the kneecaps, but there is no need to clasp them. Leaning in this way, we say:

سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ

“Subhaana Rabiyal Azyym” - (Glory to my Great Lord).

This phrase is pronounced 3 to 7 times. Required condition: the number of utterances must be odd.

• Exiting the “bow” position is also accompanied by reading the sura:

سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ

رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الحَمْدُ

“Sami’Allahu liman hamidah.”

(Allah hears those who praise him).

“Rabbana wa lakal hamd.”

(O our Lord, to You alone is all praise!)

• Having straightened up, we perform Sajd again, while saying “Allahu Akbar.” Different parts of the body are lowered to the floor gradually: first we press our knees to the floor, then our hands, and finally our nose and forehead. It is important that the head is positioned during Sajda directly between the hands, spread in such a way that the fingers pressed to each other point towards the Kaaba. The elbows should be located close to the stomach. We press our calves tightly to our thighs; we cannot close our eyes. Having reached this position, the Muslim woman says:

"Subhana Rabbiyal A'lyaa." (Glory to my Lord supreme).

• We return to a sitting position, while saying “Allahu Akbar.” We take a new sitting position: we bend our knees and place our hands on them. We hold this position until “Subhanallah” is said. Again we say “Allahu Akbar” and take the position of Sajd. In Sajda we say three, five or seven times: “Subhana Rabbiyal A’lyaa.” An important point: the number of repetitions should be the same in both Sajd and Ruka.
• The first rakat of prayer ends with rising to a standing position. Of course, at the same time we say “Allahu Akbar”: praising the Almighty is obligatory in almost every action during prayer. We keep our hands folded on our chest.

Second rakat of fard prayer

• We repeat all the steps described above, but from the moment we read Surah Fatiha. After reading the sura, we use another text, for example, “Ikhlas”:

قُلْ هُوَ اللَّـهُ أَحَدٌ

اللَّـهُ الصَّمَد

لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ

وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ

“Kul huwa laahu ahad. Allahu ssamad. Lam yalid wa lam yulyad. Wa lam yakullahu kufuvan ahad.” (He - Allah - is one, Allah is eternal; He did not beget and was not begotten, and no one was equal to Him!) (Sura 112 - “Ikhlas”).

An important point: when performing namaz, Muslims are prohibited from reading the same surahs in different rakats. There is only one exception to this rule - Surah Fatiha, which is an indispensable part of any rakah.

• We use the same scheme of actions as during the first rakat up to the second Saj. Having bowed, we do not rise, as described above, but sit down. The woman sits to the left, with her legs drawn up to the outer thighs, pointing to her right. It is important that the woman performing namaz sits on the floor and not on her feet. Place your hands on your knees, pressing your fingers tightly.
• Having accepted this position, it is necessary to read the most important dua Tashahud: All rights reserved. رَكاتُهُ، اَلسَّلامُ عَلَيْنا وَعَلى عِبادِ اللهِ الصّالِحينَ، أَش All rights reserved. ُ الله،ِ اَللّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلى آلِ All rights reserved. َبارِكْ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَما بارَكْتَ عَلى إِبْ مَجيد “At-tahiyayatu Lillyayahi Vas-Salavaatu wat-Tayibat As-Salayamu aleyka Ayuhan-nabiyu wa rahmatu Llaahi va barakayatuh. Assalamu Aleyna wa ala ibaadi Llaahi-ssalihin Ashhadu Allah ilaha ila Allah Wa ashhadu Anna Muhammadan Abduhu wa Rasuuluh "(Greetings, prayers and all good deeds belong only to Allah Almighty. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, the mercy of Allah and His blessings Peace be upon us, as well as I testify to all the righteous servants of Allah that there is no god worthy of worship except Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger).

When saying “la illaha” you need to raise your right index finger up. At the words “illa Allahu,” we lower our finger.

• The next part of the prayer is the reading of the dua “Salavat”, glorifying the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him!).

اللهمَّصَلِّعَلىَمُحَمَّدٍوَعَلَىآلِمُحَمَّدٍكَمَاصَلَّيْتَعَلَىاِبْرَاهِيمَ

وَعَلَىآلاِبْرَاهِيماِنَّكَحَمِيدٌمَجِيدٌ

اللهمَّبَارِكْعَلىَمُحَمَّدٍوَعَلَىآلِمُحَمَّدٍكَمَابَارَكْتَعَلَىاِبْرَاهِيمٍ

وَعَلَىآلاِاِبْرَاهِيمِاِنَّكَحَمِيدٌمَجِيدٌ

“Allaahumma sally 'alaya sayidinaa mukhammadin wa 'alaya eeli sayidinaa mukhammad, Kyama sallayte 'alaya sayidinaa ibraahim wa 'alaya eeli sayidinaa ibraahim, Wa baarik 'alaya sayidinaa mukhammadin wa 'alaya eeli sayidinaa mukhammad, Kyam aa baarakte 'alaya sayidinaa ibraakhima va 'alaya eeli Sayidinaa ibraakhima fil-'aalamiin, innekya hamiidun majiid.”

(O Allah! Bless Muhammad and his family, as You blessed Ibrahim and his family. And send down blessings on Muhammad and his family, as You sent down blessings on Ibrahim and his family in all the worlds. Verily, You are the Praised, the Glorified).

• Immediately after the dua for the glory of Muhammad, we read an appeal to Allah: َلاَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَغْفِرَةً م "Allahumma" inni zolyamtu nafsi zulman kasira wa la yagfiruz zunuuba illya ant . Fagfirli magfiratam min ‘indik warhamni innaka Antal Gafuurur Rahiim.” (“O Allah, truly I have been extremely unfair to myself, and only You forgive sins. So forgive me from Your side and have mercy on me! Verily, You are the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful.”
• Dua for the glory of Allah is replaced by Salutation. It must be read with your head turned to the right and looking at your right shoulder. We pronounce:

السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ

“Assalaiyamu ’alaikum wa rahmatu-llaah” (peace and blessings of Allah be upon you).

We turn our heads to the left, look at our left shoulder and say: “Assalaiyamu 'alaikum wa rahmatu-Llaah,” which means “Peace be upon you and the blessing of the Almighty.”

This ends the two-rak prayer.

If desired, the worshiper can expand the prayer by reading “Astagfirullah” three times at the end of the prayer session, then “Ayatul-kursi”. In addition, you can pronounce the following taxibs 33 times:

سُبْحَانَ اللهِ - Subhanallah.

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ - Alhamdulillah.

We say “Allahu Akbar” thirty-four times.

After this you need to read:

لاَ اِلَهَ اِلاَّ اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ.لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ

وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

“La ilaha illalah wahdahu la sharikalyah, lahalul mulku wa lahalul hamdu wa hua ala kulli shayin kadir.”

The next part of the extended version of the prayer is reading the dua from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him!). You can read any other dua that does not contradict Sharia. When reading, we hold our open palms together in front of our faces, tilting them slightly upward.

Two-rak'ah sunnah and nafl prayers

Sunnah and nafl prayers are usually performed during the morning prayer immediately after its fard rakats. In addition, after the fard rakats of Zuhr prayer, 2 rakats of sunnah and nafl are used.

Also, 2 rak'ahs of sunnah and nafl are used after fard (Maghrib), fard (Esha) and immediately before Witr prayer.

The sunnah and nafl prayers are almost similar to the two-rakt fard prayer. The key difference is the intention, since immediately before performing the prayer, a Muslim woman needs to read the intention for this particular prayer. If a woman performs sunnah prayer, then she should also read the intention about it.

Correct reading of three-rak prayers by a woman

How can a woman correctly read the fard prayer, which consists of 3 rak'ahs? Let's figure it out. Such a prayer can only be found in the Maghrib prayer.

The prayer begins with two rak'ahs, similar to those used in the two-rak'ah prayer. In simplified form, the order is as follows:

1. Surah Fatiha.
2. A short surah.
3. Saja.
4. Second sajja.
5. Surah Fatiha (re-reading).
6. One of the surahs familiar to the woman.
7. Hand.
8. Saja.
9. Second sajja.

After the second saji of the second rakah, the woman needs to sit down and recite the dua Tashahud. After reading the dua, a Muslim woman can move on to the third rakat.

The third rakat includes Surah Fatiha, Ruku, Sajja and the second Sajja. Having completed the second sajja, the woman sits down to read the dua. She will have to recite the following suras:

• Tashahud.
• Salavat.
• Allahumma inni zolyamtu.

Having finished with this part of the prayer, the Muslim woman says a greeting similar to the greeting from the two-rak prayer session. The prayer is considered completed.

How to perform Witr prayer

Witr prayer includes three rak'ahs, and its performance is significantly different from those described above. When performing, specific rules are used that are not used in other prayers.

A woman needs to stand facing the Kaaba, pronounce the Intention, then the classic Takbir “Allahu Akbar”. The next step is to pronounce the dua “Sana”. When the dua is pronounced, the first rakat of Witr begins.

The first rakah includes: Surah Fatiha, short surah, rukah, sajdah and second sajdah. We stand to perform the second rakah, which includes “Fatihah”, a short surah, ruka, sajah, second sajah. After the second sajja, we sit down and read the dua Tashahud. It is important to ensure correct landing. We rise for the third rak'ah.

In the third rak'ah of Vitra prayer, the Fatiha surah and one of the short surahs known to a woman are read. An excellent option would be Surah Falak:

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَ‌بِّ الْفَلَقِ ﴿١﴾ مِن شَرِّ‌ مَا خَلَقَ ﴿٢﴾ وَمِن شَرِّ‌ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ ﴿٣﴾ وَمِن شَرِّ‌ النَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ ﴿٤﴾ وَمِن شَرِّ‌ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ ﴿٥﴾

“Kul a”uzuu bi-rabbi l-falak. Minn sharri maa halak. Wa minn sharri ‘gaasikyyn izaa vak’ab. Wa min sharri nafazaati fii l-“ukad. Wa minn sharri haasidin isaa hasad.”

(Say: “I seek refuge with the Lord of the dawn from the evil of what He has created, from the evil of darkness when it comes, from the evil of witches who spit on knots, from the evil of the envious when he envyes.”

Note! When performing Witr prayer for beginners, it is permissible to read the same surahs in different rakats.

At the next stage, you should say “Allahu Akbar”, raise your hands as when performing the initial takbir and return them to their original position. We say dua Qunut:

اَللَّهُمَّ اِنَّا نَسْتَعِينُكَ وَ نَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَ نَسْتَهْدِيكَ وَ نُؤْمِنُ بِكَ وَ

نَتُوبُ اِلَيْكَ وَ نَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْكَ وَ نُثْنِى عَلَيْكَ الْخَيْرَ كُلَّهُ نَشْكُرُكَ

وَ لآ نَكْفُرُكَ وَ نَخْلَعُ وَ نَتْرُكُ مَنْ يَفْجُرُكَ

اَللَّهُمَّ اِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَ لَكَ نُصَلِّى وَ نَسْجُدُ وَ اِلَيْكَ نَسْعَى وَ نَحْفِدُ

نَرْجُوا رَحْمَتَكَ وَ نَخْشَى عَذَابَكَ اِنَّ عَذَابَكَ بِالْكُفَّارِ مُلْحِقٌ

“Allahumma inna nastainuka wa nastagfiruka wa nastahdika wa nu’minu bika wa natubu ilyayka wa netawakkulyu aleyke wa nusni aleyku-l-khaira kullehu neshkuruka wa laa nakfuruka wa nahlau wa netruku mey yafjuruk. Allahumma iyyaka na'budu wa laka nusalli wa nasjudu wa ilyayka nes'a wa nahfidu narju rahmatika wa nakhsha azabaka inna azabaka bi-l-kuffari mulhik"

(“O Allah! We ask to lead us along the true path, we ask You for forgiveness and repent. We believe in You and rely on You. We glorify You in the best possible way. We thank You and are not infidels. We reject and renounce the one who does not obey You. O Allah! We worship You alone, pray and make prostrations to the ground. We strive and direct ourselves towards You. We hope for Your Mercy and fear Your punishment. Verily, Your punishment befalls the unbelievers! "

Dua “Qunut” is a very difficult surah, which will require a lot of time and effort for a woman to memorize. If a Muslim woman has not yet managed to cope with this surah, she can use a simpler one:

رَبَّنَا اَتِنَا فِى الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَ فِى اْلآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَ قِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ

“Rabbana atina fi-d-Dunya hasanatan wa fi-l-Akhirati hasanatan wa kyna azaban-Nar.”

(Our Lord! Give us good things in this and the next life, protect us from the fire of Hell).

If a woman has not yet memorized this dua, she can say “Allahumma-gfirli” three times, which means: “Allah, forgive me!” It is also acceptable to say three times: “Ya, Rabbi!” (O my Creator!).

Having pronounced the dua, we say “Allahu Akbar!”, make a hand, soot, another soot and sit down to recite the following texts:

• Tashahud.
• Salavat.
• Allahumma inni zolyamtu nafsi.

Witr ends with a greeting to Allah.

Four-rakah prayer for beginners

Having gained some experience in performing prayer, a woman can proceed to 4 rakats.

The four act prayers include Zuhr, Esha fard and Asr.

Performance

• We stand so that our face is turned towards the Kaaba.
• We express our intention.
• We articulate Takbir “Allahu Akbar!”
• We say the dua “Sana”.
• We stand to perform the first rak'ah.
• The first two rak'ahs are read as in the 2-rak'ah Fadr prayer, with the exception that in the second rak'ah it is enough to read "Tashahud" and after Surah "Fatiha" nothing else needs to be read.
• After completing two rak'ahs, we recite the dua Tashahud. Then - “Salavat”, Allahumma inni zolyamtu nafsi. We do the greeting.

Women need to remember the rules of performing namaz. The body must be covered; prayers cannot be performed during menstruation and after childbirth. The prayers that the Muslim woman missed at this moment do not need to be restored.

Any religion has its own set of rules on how to read prayers correctly, how often to do it and with what attitude to approach such a responsible mission. Every Muslim approaches the reading of prayer responsibly, because, as the Koran says, it brings one closer to Allah. For a beginner, this task seems difficult at first. Therefore, the number of young Muslims who are negligent in this activity is inexorably growing. This is why it is so important to learn how to read namaz correctly, putting deep meaning and message into every word.

In the Muslim religion, namaz is a mandatory daily ritual of reading certain five-fold prayers. It is very important not to miss this event, read with abandon and let every word pass through you. Only in this case will Allah bless the person, protect and guide him.

If a believer does not fulfill his religious duties, reads prayer irregularly and does not do this at all, does not put deep meaning into prayers, then the Almighty turns away from the person and even curses him.

Also, prayer is an opportunity to concentrate and understand your feelings, put your thoughts in order, and even make a difficult decision if such a thing “looms” over a person.

Why do they read namaz? Every true Muslim will confirm that it should be read because:

1. Namaz takes care of the state of mind. Such a prayer can be compared to a session of an ideal psychoanalyst who understands the intricacies of the patient’s soul. With the help of prayer, Allah influences the believer, giving him strength, calmness, and tranquility.
2. Prayers develop a sense of respect for God. The holy book Koran says that there is no need to pay attention to those who ignore prayer. One should do one’s work with inspiration, then the believer will enlist the support of the Almighty.
3. Namaz gives a feeling of joy and contentment. In an amazing way, prayer gives strength and energy. Even after reading for a long time, a person does not feel tired. On the contrary, he feels a surge of strength, wants to fulfill his duties and give this feeling to others.

Namaz combines strict necessity, obligation with personal desire and aspiration. As a result, the person becomes happy. But this end result is only possible when all the rules are followed.

How to prepare for prayer?

An adult must begin prayer. His mind must be bright, and he must be aware of what will happen.

Physical training includes:

• ablution before prayer, especially if a person feels dirty and unkempt;
• put on clean clothes that should cover all necessary parts of the body;
• you should turn your face towards the Kaaba - the Islamic shrine located in Mecca.

You should definitely pay attention to the position in which the prayer will be read. A man should place his feet shoulder-width apart, his arms should be lowered and relaxed, his gaze should be in front of him, slightly lowered.

Women stand straight, their legs should be joined together, and their arms should be placed along the body.

Also, the believer must prepare emotionally, tune in to the desired “wave,” and be frank and sincere.

When the preparation is completed, the Muslim pronounces the words - the predecessors of prayer.

Preparation also includes a thorough knowledge of the elements of prayer. There are rakats and soot. The first is systematically repeating movements, gestures and words during prayer. The second is prostration, an obligatory element of prayer.

Rakaats, in turn, are divided into obligatory and desirable. A responsible Muslim must observe them all. An exception is if a person is very sick and is unable to complete all the procedures.

What time to read namaz?

Namaz includes 5 prayers. Each of them must be read at a designated time. All parts of reading are very important, so timing and gradualism are very important in this process.

At what time to read namaz? This question is especially concerning for beginners. There are even special sites that provide a return report to the appointed time. But not everyone can take advantage of such innovations, so it is better to immediately decide when to read the prayer.

Morning reading is done shortly before dawn. Despite the early hour, a large number of people begin to read the prayer.

Daytime prayer in summer is read after the intense heat has subsided. In winter, this can be done earlier because the sun sets faster.

The pre-evening prayer is performed at a very subtle moment that should be caught. This is done when the sun has changed its color before sunset. For young, inexperienced Muslims, it can be difficult to catch this time. This is where the help of more experienced mentors comes in handy.

When the sun sets, it is time for evening prayer.

Night reading should take place in the first third of the night.

Over time, with more experience, it will be much easier for a beginner to keep track of time. Then the chances of skipping reading are minimal.

Which direction should you read the prayer?

Namaz is impossible without observing an important condition - reading in the direction of the qibla. Qibla literally means “that which is opposite.” This direction leads to a sacred point called the Kaaba, which is located in the city of Mecca.

This geographical point is also extremely important in the construction of mosques. This is a kind of religious magnet that attracts Muslims from all over the world. No matter where on the planet a person finds himself, he knows where to turn in order to feel the unity of spirit.

The younger generation has difficulty determining the right direction to read the prayer. In which direction should you read the prayer if there is no one to tell you or help you? Modern technologies will cope with the task perfectly.

For example, using a Yandex map will speed up the search for the Kaaba. To do this, perform the following manipulations:

• enter “Mecca” in the Yandex search, click “Find”;
• select “Maps”;
• on the right find “Show” - “Satellite” or “Hybrid”;
• use the “Ruler” tool, Kaaba is the end point;
• By zooming out or zooming in on the map, you need to select the starting point where the believer is currently located.

In this way, a direction will be laid out, which should always be addressed day after day.

If a person deliberately chose the wrong direction or did not even try to find the right one, then his prayer will be considered invalid. In the event that a person assumes that he is reading in the right direction, but this is not the case, the prayer will count.

If suddenly a Muslim chooses the wrong direction and realizes this during prayer, he must turn in the right direction without stopping it.

How to start reading prayer for beginners?

Children are taught to pray from early childhood. Gender does not matter; both girls and boys should read the fivefold prayer. Starting from adulthood, the procedure is mandatory.

For a beginner, this procedure is a colossal effort, but not because you need to learn all the prayers. The main thing is to concentrate and not get distracted. If the prayer is read with errors, and the Muslim is confused, then the prayer simply will not count.

The Koran says that if a believer has pure aspirations and thoughts, then even small errors in reading will not disrupt the power of prayer. You must constantly strive for the ideal, try to make fewer mistakes each time, and then everything will succeed.

You should also make certain bows and gestures at the right moment. At first it is difficult for an inexperienced person to combine reading and monitoring his actions.

We can highlight the following algorithm of actions for beginners:

• strict adherence to the time and number of readings;
• cleansing and washing;
• choosing the right clothes, hiding body parts from prying eyes;
• finding the right direction;
• desire to pray.

For Muslims, these demands are feasible because they have been taught them since childhood. For those who have just adopted the faith, the rules are difficult for them. But even in this case, everything can be achieved if you have faith.

How to read namaz correctly for men?

The reading of prayer by a man and a woman is different. Therefore, it is rational to find out how to correctly read namaz for men, how it differs from the female version.

First, you need to stand up and express your sincere intentions. Depending on what time of day the prayer is read, the number of obligatory and desirable body movements will differ.

1. You should raise your two hands towards the Qibla and spread your fingers. Touch your earlobes with your thumbs.
2. Fold your hands like this: place your right hand on your left, the thumb and little finger of your right hand should clasp your left hand.
3. In this position, touch the area just below the navel.
4. Lower your hands and bow.
5. Then you need to straighten up and then touch the soot with your forehead.
6. Straighten up and remain in a sitting position.
7. After a few minutes, descend into soot again.

Each stage is accompanied by the reading of certain prayers and poems.

How to read namaz correctly for women?

Every Muslim woman knows from childhood how to read prayer to women correctly. These rules are no different from the male version. Some believe that women can pray not 5 times a day, but less. But this is a mistaken opinion.

The only simplification is that they can choose a place for prayer (a mosque or within the house).

This feature is due to the fact that some mosques do not have a separate entrance for women or do not have a special hall. In this case, it is better for them to pray at home so as not to distract men with their presence (this is prohibited by the Koran).

The holy book also says that the home option is preferable for women also because it is more difficult for her to tear herself away from household chores and raising children.

Like men, Muslim women must take a responsible approach to this activity and concentrate.

How many times do they read namaz?

Namaz is read strictly 5 times a day. Each link has its own exact time. If believers for some reason miss it or do it later, then it does not count.

It is important not to miss prayers and strictly adhere to the schedule. Then the Almighty will bestow his love, will help in business and will bestow love on the person.

Video “How to read namaz correctly”

The video below will show you how to read the prayer correctly.

Prayer text

Depending on the time of day, the prayer changes. If we are talking about morning reading, then the text of the prayer will be as follows:

“O Allah, Lord of this prayer! Give Prophet Muhammad dignity. And help us take advantage of his protection.”

“I am far from Satan, I am getting closer to the Lord. Our praise belongs to Allah alone. We worship you alone and ask for help. Guide us on the right path."

This short passage shows how much respect the reader should have for his Lord.

All speech is pronounced in the native language.

Some sites even have transcription and translation.

What prayer is read at night?

Night prayer or tahajjud should be done around one in the morning. The minimum required cycles of body movements is 2 times, the maximum is 12.

Muslims believe that night prayer is special. He brings the believer closer to the Almighty, bestows health, and protects him in all endeavors and deeds.

The Koran confirms this opinion, which is why this prayer is treated with special reverence.

What should you read after prayer?

Example of dua after prayer:

“O Allah, you are the world. Blessed are You, possessing greatness and generosity. There is no other God but Allah. To him belongs the power and the praise.”

When should you not read namaz?

Let's consider the following cases:

1. Morning prayer occurs between dawn and sunrise.
2. It is also not recommended to read namaz when the sun is at its zenith.
3. 30 minutes before sunset (it has turned red) you cannot read anything except afternoon prayer.
4. During the khutbah - a religious sermon.

Video “How to correctly read prayer to a woman”

Women will also find it useful to visually familiarize themselves with the materials. This will minimize errors and fill spiritual “gaps.”

The video below is an example of how a prayer should be read to a woman.

How to quickly learn to read namaz?

Only experience and effort will help you pray without mistakes and with inspiration. You should read not only obligatory, but also desirable prayers.

Also useful for a beginner:

• patience;
• maximum concentration;
• discipline.

It should be remembered that excessive speed in this matter is disastrous. It is better to read slowly, but correctly and without mistakes.

Should I read the prayer out loud or silently?

Sacred Muslim truths state that prayer should not be read very loudly, but not in a whisper. You should select a medium sound level.

It is believed that daytime prayers are read in a whisper, but morning and evening prayers are read out loud. This was preceded by an interesting legend.

Once upon a time, Muslims were mocked by idolaters. Hearing the loud reading of the prayer, they immediately began their actions.

To eliminate attacks, believers began to read prayer in a whisper or silently.

This means that initially the prayer was read exclusively out loud, and then they began to do it silently.

Reading prayer is a responsible and rather difficult task for beginners. In order not to get confused and to do everything in a timely and correct manner, you need time and knowledge.

With the help of this instruction you can quickly learn how to read the prayer. In general, separate books are devoted to how to read namaz, given the enormous importance of this type of worship for a Muslim. But here you can get an extremely short introductory course on a single prayer of two rak'ahs. Having learned this prayer tutorial, you will be able to understand how to read all other prayers.

The method of reading namaz is given according to the Hanafi school of fiqh (Islamic law)

Instructions on how to read namaz

1.	While standing, express your sincere intention (niyat) to perform namaz: “For the sake of Allah, I intend to perform namaz of 2 rak’ahs.”
2.	Raise both hands, fingers apart, palms facing the Qibla, to ear level, touching your earlobes with your thumbs and say “Allahu Akbar.”
3.	Then place your right hand with the palm of your left hand, clasping the little finger and thumb of your right hand around the wrist of your left hand, and lower your folded hands just below your navel and read Surah Fatiha: "Auzu billahi minashshaytaani r-rajim Bismillahi r-rahmaani r-rahim Alhamdu lillahi rabbil galyamin Arrahmaani r-rahim Maaliki Yaumiddin Iyyakya nagbydu va iyakya nastagyin Ikhdina s-syraatal mystakyim Syraatallyazina angamta aleikhim Gairil Magdubi Aleikhim Valad-daaallyin" Aamin!..

4.	Having lowered your hands, say: “Allahu Akbar” and make a hand” (waist bow). While bowing, say: “Subhana-Rabbiyal-“aziym”
5.	After ruku" straighten your body to a vertical position, saying: "Samigallahu-limyan-hamidah"
6.	After straightening, with the words “Allahu Akbar”, perform sajda (bow to the ground). When performing soot, you must first kneel down, then lean on both hands and, only after that, touch the soot with your forehead and nose. When bowing, say: “Subhana-Rabbiyal-Aglya.”
7.	After this, with the words “Allahu Akbar,” rise from the soot to a sitting position.
8.	After pausing in this position for 2 seconds, with the words “Allahu Akbar”, lower yourself into soot again.
9.	Stand up straight.
10.	Repeat steps #3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
11.	Read the prayer (du "a) "Attahiyyat": "Attahiyaty lillahi vassalavaty vatayibyatu. Assalamu aleyke ayuhannabiyu wa rahmatyllahi wa barakatykh. Assalamu aleina va galya gyybadillahi s-salihiin. Ashhady alla illaha illallah. Wa ashhady anna Muhammadan. Gabdyhu wa rasuluh."
12.	Say the greeting: “Assalamu galekum wa rahmatullah” with your head turned first towards the right shoulder and then towards the left.

This completes the prayer.

Conditions for performing namaz (reading namaz)

To perform prayer, five conditions (sharts) must be met:

1. The first condition of prayer is cleansing from impurities (najasa). In other words, this is the removal of impurities from the place of prayer, from the body and clothing. Women should do istinja (cleansing the relevant organs after urination), and men should do istibra (complete cleansing of the corresponding organ after urination. To do this, it is recommended to cough, stomp on the spot a little and bend to the sides). To clean the anus after relieving yourself, you must first wipe it dry with paper, then rinse it with water and wipe it dry again with paper. When performing namaz, try to be dressed in clean clothes and make sure that your prayer mat (you can use a towel, sheet, etc. instead of a mat) is clean. Being clean means that if you were offered to eat at this place, you would gladly agree.
2. Small ablution (taharat, wudu) and complete ablution (ghusl). Small ablution is taken after you have relieved yourself and followed the instructions in point 1 on cleansing the genitals. Complete ablution (ghusl) is taken: in men - when semen is released during intercourse or sleep (emission), in women - during the postpartum cleansing period or the menstrual cycle.
3. The third condition of prayer is covering certain parts of the body (satrul-awrat), opening which is considered haram (forbidden). For men, the aurat is the part of the body from the navel to the knee. A woman has aurat - almost her entire body, except for her hands (up to the wrist) and face.
4. The fourth condition of prayer is facing towards the Kaaba(located in Mecca, Saudi Arabia) - Istiqbali-Qibla. Those who are in Mecca and see the Kaaba must face the Kaaba directly, and those who are away from Mecca and cannot see the Kaaba must face it as accurately as possible, using a compass, if there are no other landmarks.
5. The fifth condition of prayer is timely execution each of the five prayers. Prayer performed before the appointed time is not valid. The schedule of prayer times for each area is established according to the calendar according to the geographical location. You can see the daily prayer schedule on our website on the right.
