Step by Step Guide to Prayer by E-Da`wah Committee

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Peace, mercy and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad.

The Prayer is one of the main and most important pillars in Islam. It is a connection between a person and Allah, the Creator.

A person must pray five times a day as Allah Almighty prescribed and made it obligatory upon each Muslim to pray five times a day.

These five prayers are Fajr (Dawn Prayer), Zhuhr (Noon Prayer), `Asr (Afternoon Prayer), Maghrib (Sunset Prayer) and `Ishaa' (Night Prayer).

A Muslim must cover his `awrah (private parts) and what is meant by awrah? It is the part that a person should cover while praying.

For a man, `awrah is from his navel until his knee and this is the minimum requirement for a man to pray. For a woman, a Muslim woman must cover all her body except her face and hands.

As we mentioned in another video, a person must perform wudu' (ablution) before prayer. After that, a person can offer prayer.
