Publisher's Synopsis
Prayer is very important pillar of Islam Prayer in Islam is mandatory for all except prepubescent children. The basic definition of praying in Islam is that it's an act of worship repeated 5 times per day, every day at certain times. It combines physical, spiritual and mental aspects of each human into just a few minutes during each prayer. It's believed that reading the Qur'an is how God talks to us, but praying is when we can talk to God. It's also one way to thank God for everything; both the good and the bad. Praying is the 2nd pillar of Islam and it's emphasized to a great extent in many verses in the Qur'an, as well as in many of the Prophet's hadith. And very rarely in the Qur'an does the mention of prayer come by itself. It's usually accompanied by giving alms (zakat), fasting (seyam) and belief. It reflects how all the acts of worship are bound as one unit; inseparable. This book clarifies mistakes and omissions in the Prayer and their rectifications. In this book we present all the following mistakes in prayer:
- Mistakes which require sajdt al-sahw
