not accepted except from a Muslim; and the proof is His saying :() And whoever

desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he,

in the Hereafter, will be among the losers. [Family of Imran:85)], And the actions

of a disbeliever are rejected, even if he does any (good) deeds.And the proof is His saying

) ): It is not for the polytheists to maintain the mosques of Allah [while]

witnessing against themselves with disbelief. [For] those, their deeds have

become worthless, and in the Fire they will abide eternally. [The Repentance:17]

and His saying :() And We will regard what they have done of deeds and make

them as dust dispersed. [The Criterian:23]

The Second Pre-Condition ] and its opposite is madness. The]:TheIntellect[]

pen is lifted from the insane person until he recovers (from his madness). And the proof is

the narration: The pen has been lifted from three: The sleeper until he wakes up;

(the age of puberty))1(.

The Third Pre-Condition (]: (age of] Recognition ] ] and its opposite is

smallness. And its limit is seven years; then he is ordered to pray. From his saying ():

4/15


3

[4] -Washing the legs up to the ankles.

[5] -The Sequence (of the ablution)[ ].

[6] -The Continuation[

].

And the proof is His saying :() O you who have believed, when you rise

to [perform] prayer, wash your faces and your forearms to the elbows and

wipe over your heads and wash your feet to the ankles. ; the verse[The

Table Spread:5].

And the proof for the sequence[ ] is the narration: Begin with what Allah

has begun with)3 (.

And the proof for continuation [ ]is the narration (about) the shine of the

companion, from the Prophet (): when he saw a man, and on his foot was

a small part equal to the space of a dirham; (and) the water did not reach

it. So, he commanded him to repeat (the ablution))4(.

And compulsory ( ) is to mention if one remembers In the Name of Allah.

The nullifications of it (the ablution) are eight:

[1] -Whatever comes out from the two private parts.

[2] -Any filth impure (substance) that comes out from the body.

[3] -Loss of intellect (i.e. through sleep or insanity).

From the body, the garments and the area (of prayer). And the proof is His saying :()

And your clothing purify [The Cloaked One:4].


5/15


4

The Sixth Pre-Condition :[] Covering the private area .() The people of

knowledge are in agreement the invalidity of the prayer of one who prays naked while

having the ability (to clothe oneself). And the limits for the private area()for a man are

from his navel to his knees, and the same for the female slave. As for a free woman, all of

her is a private area(

)except for her face [in prayer]. And the proof is His saying (

):

O children of Adam, take your adornment at every masjid [The Heights:4] i.e.

with every prayer.

The Seventh Pre-Condition :[] The entrance of the time (of prayer), and the

proof is from the traditions [ ], the narration (about) Jibreel (peace be on him) when he

led the Prophet ()during the first times and the last (times in prayer), and said to him: O

Muhammad, the prayer is between these two times)5( and His saying (

): Indeed,

prayer has been decreed upon the believers a decree of specified times. [The

Women:103]; i.e. obligatory at the times. The proof of the times is His saying ) ):

Establish prayer at the decline of the sun [from its meridian] until the darkness

of the night and [also] the Qur'an of dawn. Indeed, the recitation of dawn is ever

witnessed. [The Night Journey:78].

The Eighth Condition [

]:Facing the Kiblah (

);and the proof is His saying(

):We have certainly seen the turning of your face, [O Muhammad], toward the

heaven, and We will surely turn you to a qiblah with which you will be pleased.

So turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. And wherever you [believers] are,

turn your faces toward it [in prayer].[The Cow:144].

The Ninth Pre-Condition ]:The Intention] [ ], its place is in the heart, and

utteringit is an innovation, and the proof is the narration by Umar who said the Messenger

of Allah () said: The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every

person will get the reward according to what he has intended)6(.

The pillars ] ]of the prayer are fourteen:

[1] - Standing, if one has the ability.

[2] - The opening Allah-u-Akbar [

].

[] -Reciting the Opener [ ].

[]Bowing [].

[5] - Rising from it.

[6] - Prostrating [

] on the seven limbs.

[7]Straightening [

] from it.

[8] - Sitting between the two prostrations.

[9] - Calmness [ ] during all of the pillars.

[10] - The Sequence[ ].

[11] - The Final Testification[

].

[] -Sitting for it.

[13] - Saying the prayers on the Prophet ().

[14] - Saying the salutations [ ].

The First Pillar: Standing, if one has the ability,and the proof is His saying :()

and stand before Allah, devoutly obedient.[The Cow:238].

The Second [Pillar]: The opening Allah-u-Akbar [

] and the proof is the

narration: its beginning is opening Allah Akbar ] ] and its end is the

salutation [ ])7(. After it is the opening supplication - and it is recommended [ - [

saying: Glory and praise be to You, O Allah. Blessed be Your name and exalted

be Your majesty, there is none worthy of worship except You)8(.

And the meaning of:


7/15


6

Glory be to You, O Allah-[ ]: i.e. I deem you far above all imperfections in a

manner that befits Your Majesty.

And with your praise- [ ] i.e. glorify your greatness.

There is none worthy of worship except You- [ ] i.e. there is nothing that has the

right to be worshipped on the earth or in the heaven except You, O Allah.

I seek refuge in Allah from the rejected devil [ ]. The meaning:

I seek refuge - [ ] means I seek refuge and I seek security and I seek protection with

You, O Allah.

From the rejected devil [

]: the outcast and far from Allahs mercy. He cannot

harm me in my religion [ ]or in my world [ ].

[The Third Pillar]:Reciting the Opener [ ]which is a pillar [], in every unit [],

like in the narration: the prayer is not valid if one does not recite the opening

book)9(. It is the foundation of the Quran.

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful - [

]:

is blessing and helping.

[All] praise is [due] to Allah -[

]: [

]: praise. The definite article (

)indicates all

true praises. As for beauty that one does not do anything in it, such beauty and the like is

named complement and not praise.

Lord of the worlds -[

:[ [ ] He is the one who is worshipped, the Possessor,

the Ruler, the one who raisers all of the creation with the blessings. The worlds [

]:

everything that is other than Allah is the world. And He is the Lord of all.

The Entirely Merciful -[ ]: He has general mercy for all of the creation.

The Especially Merciful(): He has specific mercy for the believers. And the proof is

His saying :() And ever is He, to the believers, Merciful. [The Combined

Forces:43].

Sovereign of the Day of Recompense - (

): The Day of Reward and

Reckoning, the Day when all will be rewarded for his deeds, if they are good, then there

will be good and if they were bad, then there will be a bad (result). And the proof is His


8/15


7

saying :() And what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense?

Then, what can make you know what is the Day of Recompense? It is the Day

when a soul will not possess for another soul [power to do] a thing; and the

command, that Day, is [entirely] with Allah. [The Cleaving:17-19].

And the narration from him (): A wise man is the one who calls himself to account

(and refrains from doing evil deeds) and does noble deeds to benefit him after

death; and the foolish person is the one who subdues himself to his temptations

and desires and seeks from Allah the fulfilment of his vain desires)10(.

It is You we worship - [

]: i.e. We dont worship anyone except You. A promise

between the slave and his Lord that he will not worship except Him.

And You we ask for help-[

]: A promise between the slave and his Lord that he

will not ask anyone for help other than Allah.

Guide us to the straight path - [

]: [

] means show us and guide us and

keep us firm. The path [

]:Islam; they say: the messenger and they say: the Quran.

And all of these meanings are true. The straight [

]: is that which has no curves in it.

The path of those upon whom You have bestowed favour -[

]: i.e.

the favoured path for them. And the proof is His saying :() And whoever obeys

Allah and the Messenger - those will be with the ones upon whom Allah has

bestowed favor of the prophets, the steadfast affirmers of truth, the martyrs and

the righteous. And excellent are those as companions. [The Women:69].

Not of those who have evoked [Your] anger - [

]: and they are the Jews,

with them is knowledge but they do not act on it. We ask Allah to protect you from their

way.

Or of those who are astray - [

]: and they are the Christians, who worship Allah

with ignorance and misguidance. We ask Allah to protect you from their way; and the

proof of the astray His saying :() Say, [O Muhammad], "Shall we [believers]

inform you of the greatest losers as to [their] deeds? [They are] those whose effort

is lost in worldly life, while they think that they are doing well in work." Those


9/15


8

are the ones who disbelieve in the verses of their Lord and in [their] meeting

Him, so their deeds have become worthless; and We will not assign to them on

the Day of Resurrection any importance. [The Cave:103-105].

And the narration from him (): You would tread the same path as was trodden

by those before you exactly so if they had entered into the hole of the lizard, you

would enter it. We said: Allah's Messenger, do you mean Jews and Christians (by

your words)" those before you"? He said: Who else (than those two religious

groups)?.The [Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim] two reported it )11(.

And the second narration is: The Jews split up into seventy one sects and the

Christians split up into seventy two sects. And this nation will split up into

seventy three sects. All of them will be in the fire except for one. We said: Who

are they O Messenger of Allah? He said: Who are upon the same way that I and

my Companions are upon )12(.

[The Fourth Pillar]:Bowing[].

[The Fifth Pillar]:Rising from it.

[The Sixth Pillar]:Prostrating ]

] on the seven limbs.

[The Seventh Pillar]:Straightening [

] from it.

[The Eighth Pillar]:Sitting between the two prostrations. And the proof is His saying

) ): O you who have believed, bow and prostrate [The Pilgrimage:77]. And the

narration from him (): I was commanded to prostrate myself on seven bones)13(.

[The Ninth Pillar]:Calmness [ ]during all of the acts.

[The Tenth Pillar]:The sequence[

] between the pillars.

And the proof (for the last two pillars) is the narration (about) the bad prayer narrated by

Abu Huraira () who said: While we were sitting with the Prophet (): a man

entered and prayed. Then he stood and then came and he greeted the Prophet

( ) and he said, "Go back and pray, for you have not prayed. He did it three

(times). Then he said, "By the One Who sent you with the truth as a Prophet, I

cannot do better than this, so teach me. So the Prophet ( ) said to him, "When

you stand for the prayer say Allah-u-Akbar, and then recite of what is easy for


10/15


9

you from the Quran, and then bow, until you feel calm in bowing, and then raise

and stand straight; then prostrate until you feel calm in prostration, then sit up

until you feel calm while sitting; Then do this in all of your prayers)14(.

[The Eleventh Pillar]:The final testification [

]; is an obligatory [

] pillar [

], as

in the narration narrated by Ibn Masood () who said: We would say before the

testification [

] was made obligatory on us, Peace [] be upon Allah from

His slaves, peace be upon Jibril and Mikail; and the Prophet ( ): said: 'Do not say

"Peace [] be upon Allah from his slaves, for truly Allah He is Peace []."

Rather say:

[

([(

All compliments, prayers and pure words are due to Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet,

and the mercy of Allah and his blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous slaves

of Allah. I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah and I bear

witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

And the meaning of:

Compliments-[ ]: all the greatness are for Allah, possesses and deserves it, such as the

acts of inclining, bowing, prostrating, remaining and continuing and all that is used to

profess the greatness of the Lord of worlds, then it is for Allah. So whoever directs anything

from it to other than Allah, he is a polytheist, disbeliever.

Prayers -[ ] its meaning: all of the supplications. And they say: the five daily prayers.

Pure words - [ ]:Allah is Good[

] and He does not accept any of the sayings and

actions except those that are good [

].

O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and his blessings - [

]:weare supplicating for the Prophet () to have peace and have mercy and blessing and to be

raised high. The one who is being supplicated for is not supplicated with Allah.

Peace be upon us and upon the righteous slaves of Allah - [ ]:

you are sending peace upon yourself and to every righteous slave in the heaven and the

earth.

And peace - [

] is a supplication.


11/15


10

Righteous slaves - [ ] are being supplicated for, and they are not being supplicated

with Allah.

I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah in His oneness without

any partners for Him [

]: You testify the testimony with

certainty that no one in the earth and in the heaven has the right to be worshipped except

Allah. And the testimony that truly Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah means that truly

he is a slave who is not to be worshipped, and a messenger who is not to be rejected.

Rather, he is to be obeyed and followed. Allah honoured him with being a slave and with

the Message; and the proof is His saying :() Blessed is He who sent down the

Criterion upon His Servant that he may be to the worlds a warner [The

Criterian:1].

[Twelfth Pillar: Sitting for it.]

[The Thirteenth: Saying the prayers on the Prophet ().]:

[

[

O Allah: bless Muhammad and his family as You blessed the family of Ibrahim. Verily You

are Praiseworthy and Glorious.

Prayers[] from Allah is His praising of His slave in the highest of gatherings, as has

been reported by Al-Bukhaaree in his sound collection []from Abu-lAaliyah who

said: ThePrayers [] of Allah is His Praise for His servant in the highest of gatherings.

And they say: it means mercy. And the first is correct. From the angels: it means asking for

forgiveness. And from the humans: it means the supplication.

Grant favours -[

] and what is after it from sayings and actions of the supplications is

recommended [ .[

[The Fourteenth Pillar: Saying the salutations.]

* * *


12/15


11

Its compulsories ] :]are eight

[1] - All of the Allah-u-Akbars except for the opening Allah-u-Akbar.

[2]Saying:Glory be to my Lord Almighty-[

]in bowing.

[3] - Saying:Allah listens to him who praises Him-[ ]for the one leading

the prayer and the one praying alone.

[4] - Saying:Our Lord, to You be the praise-[ ]for all (one leading the prayer

and the one praying alone).

[5] - Saying:Glory be to my Lord Most High-[

.] in prostrating

[6]Saying: Lord forgive me - [

.]between the two prostrations

[7] - The first testification [ ].

[8] - Sitting for it.

The pillars [] that are wrongly done by leaving it forgetfully or intentionally the prayer

is invalid.

The compulsories [

] that are wrongly done by intentionally leaving it the prayer is

invalid. And due to forgetfulness the prostrations for forgetfulness is required. And Allah

knows best.

And the peace and blessing of Allah be on Muhammad and his family and his companions.
