Salah (lit. prayer, worship, pi. salawat. The verb from which it is
derived is salla meaning to hallow); as an act of God it is translated as
to bless; as an act of men it is translated as to pray. It is possible,
since the word is used only in its so-called second mode, that it is not
originally an Arabic word, but one derived from Aramaic). Salah is the
canonical, or ritual, prayer, as opposed to the spontaneous petitioning of
God which is called du 'a'. It consists of a series of movements and
recitations, and is thus a ritual, more of a liturgy, or an act of worship,
than the supplication usually associated with the word prayer in the West.
As an act of worship, the salah models the body, mind, and soul - the
latter in the form of speech - to the invisible prototype of awareness of
God. The performance of the salah five prescribed times daily is
obligatory (fard), beginning at the age of reason, which is deemed to be
seven years. The performance of additional salah prayers is possible but
not obligatory. These voluntary prayers are called nawafil. The obligatory
salah is, however, one of the Five Pillars, and is clearly the most
import-ant after the shahadah.
The salah is composed of a series of movements repeated several times.
Each series, or cycle of sacred speech and movement, is called a rak'ah, a
bowing. Some prayers are silent in whole or in part; that is to say, the
fatihah and the chosen surah of the Quran are then not pronounced out loud.
Other prayers are spoken aloud throughout, and others again are mixed, two
cycles aloud and the rest silent. Prayers which are performed aloud at
their correct time are performed in silence when they are made later.
The obligatory prayers, and a simple method of determining their time, are
the following:
1. Salat as-subh, or morning prayer is two raka'at said out loud. Its time
is between the moment of dawning when a thread of light appears on the
horizon, until the actual rising of the sun. This period of time is called
al-fajr which is also the name for a voluntary, silent prayer of two
raka'at which can be performed at this time. The same word, al-fajr is
applied to the canonical morning prayer itself. The Salat as-subh is
commonly performed as a missed prayer, that is to say, it is performed upon
waking, and in silence.
2. Salat at-thuhr, the noonday prayer is four silent raka'at. It is
performed after the moment when the shadow of a stick set vertically in the
ground has reached its shortest length at noon and has begun to lengthen as
the sun passes its zenith, until the time of al-'asr.
3. Salat al-'asr, the late afternoon prayer is four silent raka'at. It is
performed from the moment when the shadow of a vertical stick is equal to
the length of the stick and the minimum shadow of the stick at noon, at the
sun's zenith (from about 3:30 pm), until the setting of the sun. According
to hadith, once the 'asr prayer is performed, no other prayer can be
performed until after the sunset prayer is completed.
4. Salat al-maghrib, or sunset prayer is three raka'at the first two
raka'at are out loud, the third silent. The prayer may be performed any
time during the period of approximately twenty minutes starting four
minutes after the sinking of the sun below the horizon until the last red
glow in the sky.
5. Salat al-'isha, or night prayer is four raka'at, the first two out loud,
the last two silent. It is per-formed after the onset of night until dawn,
but is preferably accomplished before midnight. In congregational prayer
it is accomplished within one and one-half hours after the sunset prayer.
In polar regions, where special conditions prevail, the prayer times must
be determined by some agreed convention such as, for example, choosing the
intervals that would occur at Mecca.
The obligatory (fard) prayer may be performed alone, or in groups led by an
lmam. A call, the adhan, is made at the beginning of the prayer period to
summon people to the mosque for prayer. The iqamah is the secondary call
for assembly and rising, which is made inside the mosque immediately before
the prayer.
There are moments when salah is forbidden: at the rising of the sun; when
the sun is overhead at the zenith; and at the actual moment when the sun is
setting. A prayer should not be begun at these moments, but may be
continued through these if begun before. On Fridays the thuhr prayer is
replaced by the congregational prayer (salat al-jum'ah) for those present
in the congregational mosque; it consists of two raka'at prayed silently
under the leadership of an Imam. On a journey (in the days of camelback
travel the minimum distance of such a journey was the equivalent of
forty-five to sixty miles, or seventy-five to one hundred kilometers) in
which the traveler spends the night away from home, or spends less than
three nights in one place, prayers of four raka'at may be shortened to two
raka'at. From the fourth night spent in one place the normal prayer length
is resumed.
To perform the prayer, the person must be in the state of ritual purity
conferred by the greater ablu-tion (ghusl) and the lesser ablution (wudu').
The prayer must be performed in a clean place (not, therefore in a bath
house, cemetery, slaughter-house, and so forth) facing the qiblah
(direction of Mecca), if this can be determined. If it cannot be
determined, prayer can be performed in any direction (as it is done when
one is inside the Ka'bah).
A man's body must be covered from the navel to the knees; a woman's from
the neck to below the elbow and to the ankles. All of the woman's hair
must be covered. Shoes are removed in a place of prayer, (Some lmams wear
slippers or sandals which they wear only inside a mosque.) If there is
coming and going, the space in front should be symbolically delimited by
some object placed in front of the worshiper. For this reason, those
praying a solitary prayer choose for preference to stand before the wall or
a pillar. The worshiper must formulate the intention of the prayer to be
performed by naming it.
The motions of the prayer are as follows:
1. Standing with the feet only slightly apart, the worshiper raises his
arms to the level of his ears, palms open forward, and declares out loud
Allahu akbar. This raising of the hands to the level of the head needs to
occurs only at this first takbir. This opens the prayer. Then the hands
are placed at the sides, or clasped right over left at the waist above the
navel, or clasped at the center of the chest, or above the heart. All of
these have precedents in the Sunnah of the Prophet, may peace be upon him.
In this standing position, the worshiper pronounces the fatihah, which may
or may not be preceded by the basmalah. At the end of the fatihah, the
worshiper says: amin. If there is an lmam, and the fatihah has been said out loud, this amin is pronounced as a response by the congregation. In
the first two raka'at of the prayer (but not in subsequent raka'at), after
the fatihah, some verses from the Quran are recited. This ended, the
worshiper then says: Allahu akbar (this is always said aloud), and bows,
placing his hands upon the knees.
2. In this position, which is called the bow, he says silently:
Subhana-Llahi-l-athim (Glory to God the Mighty) three times, or a similar
formula.
3. Rising now to the standing position, the worshiper says out loud
sami'a-llahu liman hamidah (God listens to him who praises Him) Then he, or
the congregation following an lmam, says as response: Rabband wa
laka-l-hamd (Our Lord, and to Thee belongs praise).
4. Saying: Allahu akbar out loud while still standing upright, the
worshiper then prostrates himself, touching the forehead to the ground and
with both palms on the ground. In this position, which is called sajdah,
he says silently: subhana Rabbiya-l-A'la (Glory to my Lord the Most High),
or a similar formula, three times.
5. He raises himself to a seated position and says: Allahu akbar. In this
seated position, he says a formula such as: Rabbi-ghafir-li, (Lord, cover
my transgressions). The correct posture for this seated position involves
placing the outside of the left foot underneath oneself with the right foot
crouched and the big toe of the right foot hooked on the ground. As
hooking the toe on the ground is very difficult, and even painful if not
practiced from childhood, no insistence is placed upon this precise
position, and all sitting positions with the knees upon the ground can be
seen.
6. After having marked a momentary halt seated thus, the worshiper
pronounces again: Allahu akbar, and makes a second prostration (sajdah)
exactly as the first.
This completes one cycle (rak'ah). If this is the first rak'ah of any
prayer (except the single rak'ah of the voluntary night prayer, the witr),
the worshiper stands up, pronounces: Allahu akbar, and repeats the cycle
again as the second rak'ah. At the end of the second and fourth (and
final) rak'ah of all prayers, and the third (final) rak'ah of the sunset
prayer, before rising from the sitting position, or before ending the
prayer, while in this sitting position, the worshiper utters a formula
known as at-tahiyyat, or the at-tashahhud:
At-tahiyyatu li-Llahi wa-s-salawatu wa-t-tayyitibbau; as-salamu 'alayka
ayyuha-n-nabiyyu wa rarmatu-Llahi wa barakatuh, wa-s-salamu 'alayna wa 'ala
'ibadi-Llahi-s-salihin. Ashhadu an la iliha illa-Llah, wa ashhadu anna
Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasuluh.
Salutations, prayers, and good works are all for God. Peace on thee, O
Prophet, and God's Mercy, and His blessings. Peace be on us and on all
God's righteous servants. I testify that there is no god but God; and I
testify that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger.
There are in practice minor variations to this formula. During the saying
of the shahadah, it is the custom to point the finger upwards. The
worshiper seals the prayer by turning his head to the right and saying:
as-salamu 'alaykum, and then repeating these words to the left.
It is usual, after prayer, to remain seated in order to recite one or more
formulas repeated thirty-three times, counting on the fingers. This is an
introduction to a du'a', an individual supplication, which is made with the
hands upraised slightly, the palms open upwards. At the end, marked by the
words: al-hamdu li-Llah (praise be to God), the open hands are drawn across
the face as if a blessing had fallen into them. Then the worshippers rise
and greet those next to them with the words: as-salamu 'alaykum. Some then
perform individual, voluntary prayers, except after the 'asr. These are
usually of two raka'at.
In addition to these voluntary, or Sunnah prayers performed before or after
the main prayers, there are additional voluntary and optional prayers at
specific times, however the number of obligatory prayers is five daily. It
has been related of the great teacher al-Junayad of Baghdad that he
performed three hundred raka'at each day at his shop in the market and four
hundred at his house each night, in addition to reciting certain formula
thirty thousand times each day. Al-Junayd was not forgetful of God!
The Friday congregational Jum'ah prayer of two raka'at replaces the normal
noonday prayer and is preceded by a sermon (khutbah). The Friday prayer is
performed in a large congregational mosque which can accommodate a greater
number of worshippers than a neighborhood mosque. It also has a preacher
in addition to an lmam, or a preaching lmam; to give teachings requires, in
principle, greater knowledge than does leading the prayers. The Friday
prayer brings together a larger number of people from different
neighborhoods, thus increasing a sense of community. Other exceptional
prayers are those of the festivals. On the morning of the festivals of the
'Id there is a special prayer of two raka'at for which, in principle, the
whole community, or even the whole city, gathers together in a special
prayer ground. The peculiarity of the 'Id prayer is that it is opened with
eight takbir, pronounced slowly one after the other, before the first
fatihah. Six takbir are pronounced before the second fatihah.
It is best not to interrupt a prayer except for good reason, but a prayer
which is interrupted is simply said again. Different procedures exist if
an error was made during a prayer. After the closing salutation, he
immediately performs two prostrations from the sitting position, called the
prostrations of attentiveness. They are finished by the greetings just as
if it were the final two sujud of a prayer.
Prayers which are missed at the correct time should be made up afterwards,
and are prayed silently. Menstruating women do not pray and do not make up
missed prayers. With this exception, the obligation of salah for women is
no less than for men.
The form of the salah is from the Sunnah of the Prophet, may Allah's
prayers be upon him. The inspired nature of the salah is from Gabriel who
came and performed it five times at the right moments of the day and night
with the Prophet, may peace be upon him. The takbar, or Allahu akbar - God
is greater than anything - which opens the prayer is the door into the
Divine Presence, and the subsequent takbar confirm that God alone is the
Power over everything.
The prayer must be performed in Arabic, which is at once a sacred and a
liturgical language. The prayer is a vehicle by its nature, and by its
symbolism. The individual is diminished in the bow, and is extinguished in
the protestation (sujud), which takes the shape of the letter mim, the
letter of death. The first sajdah is the fana', or the extinction of what
is created, leaving, in the symbolism of the sitting, the baqa' or "that
which persists", which is the immortal soul. In the second prostration,
the fana' al- fana', all remnants of the contradiction or disequilibrium
that the illusion of creation poses in the face of the Divine Reality
symbolically disappear. The Arabic words, which are sacred words in a
sacred language, are an essential aspect of the efficacy of the rite.
Ibn 'Ata' Allah says in his Hikam:
Ritual prayer is the place of intimate discourses and a mine of reciprocal
acts of purity wherein the domains of the innermost being are expanded and
the rising gleams of light ray out. He knew of the existence of weakness
in you, so He made, the number of ritual prayers small; and he knew of your
need of His grace, so he multiplied their fruitful results.
Ritual prayer is a purification for hearts and an opening up of the door of
the invisible domains
The Ritual Ablution and Prayers
Wudhu: Ablutions before the Prayer
1. Say: Nawa'itul wudhu lisalati lillahi ta'ala. Bismi'llah ir-Rahman
ir-Rahim. This is a statement of intention. I intend this wudu for prayer
for Allah.
2. Wash hands-three times
3. Rinse mouth-three times (right side, left, then both together)
4. Rinse nose-three times
5. Wash face-three times

foot with right hand-three times.
10. Then say: Ash'hadu an la ilaha illa'llah wa ash'hadu anna Muhammadan
'abduhu wa rasuluh (while saying this raise right index finger, indicating
the unity) This means: I believe there is no god but God and I believe that
Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.
Call to Prayer (Adhan)

To every morning prayer (al-fajr), after the words hayya 'ala falah, these
words are added: Asalatu khairum minan naum (twice), meaning prayer is
better than sleep.
After the Athan (above) the following prayer is said:
Allahumma rabba hazihida' wa titammati wassala til qa imati ati muhammada
nil wasilata wal fadilata wab'ashu maqa mam mahmuda nilazi wa 'atah. O
Allah! Lord of this perfect call and ever living prayer, grant Muhammad
nearness and excellence and raise him to the position of glory which Thou
hast promised him.
A second call to prayer (al-Iqamah)
This is given just immediately before the prayer saying each line once
instead of twice and adding: Qad qama tis salatu; qad qama tis salah just
after hayya 'ala falah: stand for prayer, stand for prayer.
