Dosalah:How to do Salah: a step-by-step guide

“Learn How to Perform Salah Step by Step, According to the Quran and Sunnah

In this guide, Doslah will walk you through the obligatory daily prayers, their deep spiritual significance, and the correct method of performing Salah—step by step, as taught in the Quran and authentic Sunnah.” Salah, sometimes referred to as Salat or Namaz, constitutes one of the Five Pillars of Islam and is a fundamental act of worship for all Muslims. It is a direct method of engaging with Allah (SWT), soliciting His blessings, and executing a religious obligation.What is the proper way to perform Salah?

Salah’s compulsive frequency throughout a day: how many times?

Five daily prayers—salah—are required in Islam for every Muslim. One does these prayers at designated times both during the day and at night. Fajr (Dawn Prayer), before sunrise; Dhuhr (Midday Prayer), following the sun’s zenith; Asr (Afternoon Prayer), late afternoon; Maghrib (Sunset Prayer), just after sunset; Isa (Night Prayer), following twilight until midnight.

In Islam, missing these prayers without a good cause is seen as a sin. Muslims can, however, also offer voluntary prayers (Sunnah and Nafl) for further benefits.

The Islamic Value for DoSalah

Salah is essential in the life of a Muslim since it is a direct relationship with Allah (SWT).

It guides and facilitates forgiveness.

It straightens the soul and distances a Muslim from sinfulness.

Mentioned in the Quran, this is a required act of worship.

How to DOSalah Correctly

Use these guidelines to confirm your Salah is valid:

Make wudu (ablution)—wash yourself before you pray.

Face the Qiblah, Kaaba in Mecca, for directions of prayer.

Make the intention (Niyyah) in your heart clear about which prayer you are doing.

Say “Allahu Akbar,” or takbir, and start the prayer.

Say Surah Al-Fatihah, then another surah or set of verses.

Ruku (bowings) and Sujood (prostration).

Finish the Rak’ahs (Units); every prayer counts exactly a certain number.

Finish with salam; turn your head left and right and say “Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah.”

Frequent Inquiries Regarding Salah

Can I miss Salah if I have business?

No, salah is required and should not be omitted without a good Islamic justification, such as disease or dire circumstances. If you miss Salah, you must immediately make up for it by performing Qada.

 Suppose I have no idea how to pray?

 

Salah is something one must learn. See a competent Muslim for direction, view videos, or consult original Islamic texts.

Are there any other prayers apart from the five?

While not mandatory, we strongly recommend Sunnah and Nafl prayers, as well as Tahajjud, Witr, and Duha.

Supererogatory salah 

 Supererogatory Salah Muslims can do supernumerary salah as a form of prayer at any time, except when banned. We relate to similar salah as nafil. Sunnah prayers are prayers that The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) performed regularly or those he encouraged, but are n’t considered obligatory. 

Sunan Ar- Rawatib 

Sunan ar-Rawatib ( Arabic السنن الرواتب, romanised as Sunan ar-Rawātib) refers to the regular voluntary( Sunnah) prayers that accompany the five diurnal obligatory( Fard) prayers. These prayers are largely recommended and were constantly performed by the Islamic Prophet Muhammad. Performing them reaps enormous benefits and helps compensate for any crunches in the needed prayers. Sunni Muslims perform them at the times given for the five  diurnal obligatory prayers, either before or after them.

Within Sunni  seminaries of law, their value is equal to 10 or 12 rak’a, divided among the five prayers ( banning Asr). The Sunan ar-Rawatib are conducted before the needed prayers are performed between the adhan and iqama of their associated salah, whilst those performed after the necessary prayer may be performed until the conclusion of the associated salah’s specified period. 

 Sunan ar-Rawatib are divided into two  orders 

1. Sunnah Mu’akkadah( Emphasised Sunnah). These are the prayers that the Islamic prophet Muhammad constantly performed and strongly supported;  therefore, they’re largely recommended. 

 2. Sunnah Ghair Mu’akkadah(Non-emphasised Sunnah). The Islamic prophet Muhammad didn’t always do these prayers, and they are n’t as explosively stressed. 

Culinary Nourishment for the Spirit

Prayer strengthens faith, dependence on God, and puts daily life within the perspective of life to come after death and the last judgement.

Health Benefits

Salah movement has many physical and physiological benefits. The body goes through a unique exercise routine during the salah, therefore, it maintains fitness in healthy individuals, leading to improved flexibility, muscle strength, and endurance.

Conclusion & Encouragement

Five times a day, salah is a basic obligation of every Muslim. It keeps a believer in touch with Allah (SWT), cleanses the heart, and deepens faith. Muslims can satisfy this pillar of Islam and get great benefits by knowing its value and carrying it out correctly.

Beginning your Salah now will help you spiritually!
