How
to prayer the Prophet

Baaz

THE PROPHET'S
MANNER OF PERFORMING PRAYERS
(MAY PEACE AND BLESSINGS OF ALLAH BE UPON HIM)

All praise be to Allah alone, and His peace and blessings
be upon His messenger and bondman our Prophet Muhammad, his family and
his companions.

The objective of this
concise pamphlet is to explain how Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings
of Allah upon Him) used to perform his prayers). I would like to
present this explanation to every male and female Muslim so that they
may strive to take up the Prophet's manner in performing their prayers
as a model for them. It was narrated by Al Bukhari that Prophet Muhammad
(Peace and blessings of Allah be ob him) had said:
(( صلوا كما رأيتموني أصلي))
"Perform your prayers in the same manner you had seen me doing."
Therefore, here id the explanation for the Prophet's manner of prayer:

1. To perform completely the ablution adopting
the method commanded by Allah in the Quran:

{
يأيها الذين امنوا إذا قمتم إلى الصلاة فاغسلوا وجوهكم و أيديكم إلى
المرافق وامسحوا
برؤوسكم و أرجلكم إلى الكعبين }

"O ye who
believe, when ye prepare for prayer, wash your faces and your hands (and
arms) to the elbows, rub your heads (with water) and (wash) your feet
to the ankles."(5:6)
The Prophet (peace and
blessing of Allah be on him) said:
(لا تقبل صلاة بغير طهور )
"Prayer
without ablution is invalid."
2. To turn
one's face and whole body towards the Ka'aba, The Holy House at Makkah,
intending by heart to perform the prayer which he wants to fulfill,
whether it is an obligatory prayer pr
a supererogatory prayer, the worshipper in all cases, should not
pronounce his intention openly, because neither the Prophet nor his
companions used to utter the intention for prayer, Thus , pronouncing
the intention for prayer in audible voice is a heresy and an illicit
action, Whether the individual be an Imam or performs his prayer curtain
for his prayer. Directing the face towards the Qibla (the Ka'aba at
Makkah) is an imperative condition for every prayer. However, there are
few exceptions for this rule explained in authoritative books for whom
wish to refer.
3. To pronounce " Takbirat Al
Ihram" that is to say الله أكبر "Allahu Akbar " celebrating by that the
greatness of Allah and looking meanwhile, downwards to the place where
he will prostrate,
4. To raise one's hands up
to the level of the shoulders or near to the lobes of his ears, while
pronouncing "Takbirat Al-Ihram".
5. To put
one's tight hand over his left hand and left wrist, and put them both
over his chest, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him) used to do.
6. It is advisable that the
worshipper recite this opening supplication saying:
"اللهم باعد بيني و بين خطاياي كما باعدت بين
المشرق و المغرب اللهم نقني من خطاياي كما ينقى الثوب الأبيض من الدنس
اللهم اغسلني من خطاياي بالماء و الثلج و البرد "
"Allaumma baid bayni wa bayna khatayaya kama baadta bayena
al-mashriki walmaghribi, Allahumma naqqiniy min khatayaya kama yonaqa al
thawbo alabydo min aldans,…..Allahumma igysilniy min khatayaya bilmai
wathalgi walbarad."

This supplication means:
"O Allah,
separate mw from my sins as you have separated the east and west. O
Allah , cleanse me of my sins as the white rope is cleasnse from dirt. O
Allah, wash off my sins with water, snow and hail."
Or , he may say instead:
((سبحانك اللهم و بحمدك و تباركت اسمك و تعالى جدك و لا إله
غيرك ))
"Sobhanaka Allahumma wa
bihamdika watabaraka Ismoka wata'la jaddoka walailaha ghayroka"

This supplication means: "
Praise and glory be to Allah. Blessed be Your Name, exalted be Your
Majesty and Glory. There is no god but You."

Or he may say any other supplications
which the Prophet, (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) used to say
in his prayers. It is better to recite these supplications alternately,
the first one in the morning prayer "Fajr ", the second in the noon
prayer "Zuhr", each one by turn, in conformity with what the Prophet
used to do.
After reciting the opening
supplication, the worshipper says:
(( أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم ))
((Aouzo billahi min al-shatani-r-ragim.))
Which means :
"I seek protection of
Allah against the accursed Satan."
Then he
says:
((بسم الله الرحمن
الرحيم))
"Bism illahi-Rahmani Raheem"
Which means:
"In the name of
Allah, the All Merciful, the All Compassionate." And recites the Fatiha
(The opening Sura of the glorious Quran.) Prophet Muhammad, may peace
and blessings be upon him, said:
(( لا صلاة لمن لم يقرأ بفاتحة الكتاب))
"Prayer without reciting the fatiha is invalid."
The worshipper should say "A'meen" after reciting the Fatiha
loudly if the prayer is said loudly and whisper it in inaudible prayers.
To be in conformity with the traditions of the Prophet, the worshipper
is advised to recite verses from medium size Suras of the Quran in the
Zuhr (noon), Asr (late afternoon), and Isha (night ) prayers. As for the
Fajr (morning ) prayer, the worshipper is advised to recite a passage
from the long Suras of the Quran. He has the choice in Maghrib prayer (
Evening prayer ) either to recite passages from the long Suras or from
the short Suras of the Quran.
7. Then, the
worshipper bows in "Ruku" raising his hands up to the level of his
shoulders or ears while saying " Allahu Akbar" " Allah is Great" then
bends down, making his head and back on one level and putting his hands
with the fingers spread on his knees. The worshipper should feel
serenity and tranquility while bowing, he should say thrice at least: (( سبحان ربي العظيم )) ""Subhana Rabbiayl A'zim"
which means: "Glory be to my Lord, the Almighty."
It is advisable to say while bowing in addition to that:

(( سبحانك اللهم ربنا و
بحمدك ربنا اغفر لي ))
"Subhanak-Allahumma
Rabbana wa bihamdika, Allahumma Ighfir liy"

Which means: "Glory be to Thee , O Allah,
and I praise Thee, forgive me my sins."
8. To
raise one's head up from bowing, raising one's hands to the level of
his shoulders or ears, saying, in case id being Imam or praying alone:
(( سمع الله لمن حمده))
"Sami'a Allahu liman hamidah"
Which
means :
" Allah listen to him who praises
Him."
While resuming the standing position,
he should say:
(( ربنا ولك
الحمد حمدا طيبا مباركا فيه ملء السماوات وملء الأرض و ملء ما بينهما ما
شئت من شيء بعد ))
"Rabbana wa laka al
hamdu hamdan katheera'n tayyiban mobarakan feehiy mil'a ssamawati wa
mila alardhi wa mil'a ma baynahom awa mil'a ma shita min shiyin ba'ad"
This supplication means: "Our Lord, praise be fore Thee
only, praises plentiful and blessed as to fill the heavens, the earth,
what in between, and fill that which will please Thee besides them."

But if the worshipper is a
follower, and led in his prayer by the Imam he should say when rising up
"Rabbana wa laka alhamd……etc.
(( ربنا و لك الحمد ...........الخ ما تقدم ))
It is advisable for the Imam, the follower, or who prays
alone to add also:
(( أهل
الثناء و المجد أحق ما قال العبد و كلنا لك عبد, اللهم لا مانع لما أعطيت و
لا معطي لما منعت و لا ينفع ذا الجد منك الجد ))
(( You Allah who deserve all praises and all glory, your
praising is the best and most true of whatever Your servant can say, we
all are Your servants, Our Lord, no one can ever deprive aught of what
You have bestowed and no one can ever give aught of what You have
deprived."
The worshipper is advised to put
his hands on his chest, as he had done before he bowed. Both Wa'il Ibn
Haggar and Sahli Ibn Sai'yd reported that this was the manner of the
Prophet when he used to raise his head up after bowing.
9. To prostrate saying الله أكبر "Allahu Akbar" "Allah is
Great ". He should touch the ground with his knees before touching it,
if that is possible to him, If not, he is permitted to touch the ground
by his hand before his knees. His fingers and toes should be directed
towards the Qibla Makkah, and his hands should be stretched, and the
fingers close together and not separated, In prostration, the worshipper
should use these seven organs:
The forehead,
the nose, both hands, both knees and the internal parts of the toes.
These seven organs should touch the ground. Then the
worshipper should say thrice or more:
((سبحان ربي الأعلى ))
"Subana
Rabbiyal A'ala"
Which means:
"Glorified is my Lord, the Exalted."
It is advisable to say:
"Subhanaka
Allahuma Rabbana wa bi hamdika, Allahuma Ighfir-liy."
" سبحانك اللهم ربنا ,و بحمدك- اللهم اغفر لي "

This means:
" Glory be to Thee, Our Lord, and I praise Thee. Our Lord,
forgive me my sins,"
It is recommendable for
the worshipper to exceed more and more in supplications and ask for more
from his Lord, because the Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be
on him, said
