Congregational Prayer (Islam)
Salat al-jama‘ah (Congregational Prayer) or prayer in congregation ('' jama'ah'') is considered to have more social and spiritual benefit than praying by oneself. When praying in congregation, the people stand in straight parallel rows behind the chosen imam, facing qibla. The imam, who leads the congregation in salat, is usually chosen to be a scholar or the one who has the best knowledge of the Qur'an, preferably someone who has memorised it in its entirety (a ''hafiz'') . In the first row behind the Imam, if available, would be another ''hafiz'' to correct the Imam in case a mistake is made during the performance of the salat. The prayer is performed as normal, with the congregation following the actions and movements of the imam as he performs the salat. Requirements for the imam The congregational prayer is led by an imam. The imam should be male, just, and well aware of Islamic jurisprudence. The Imaam stands in front by himself while the followers stand behind him ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Sunnah
In Islam, , also spelled ( ar, سنة), are the traditions and practices of the Islamic prophet Muhammad that constitute a model for Muslims to follow. The sunnah is what all the Muslims of Muhammad's time evidently saw and followed and passed on to the next generations. According to classical Islamic theories, the sunnah are documented by hadith (the verbally transmitted record of the teachings, deeds and sayings, silent permissions or disapprovals of Muhammad), and along with the Quran (the book of Islam), are the divine revelation ('' Wahy'') delivered through Muhammad Brown, ''Rethinking tradition in modern Islamic thought'', 1996: p.7 that make up the primary sources of Islamic law and belief/theology. Differing from Sunni classical Islamic theories are those of Shia Muslims, who hold that the Twelve Imams interpret the sunnah, and Sufi who hold that Muhammad transmitted the values of sunnah "through a series of Sufi teachers." According to Muslim belief, Muhammad was the ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Sujud Tilawa
The prostration of recitation ( ar, سجود التلاوة, ''sujud tilawa'') is a prostration (''sujud'') which occurs during the ritual Tilawa of Quran in Salah or outside it. Presentation Defining the prostration of recitation (''tilawa'') as a movement of prostration resulting from the reason that it is a duty (') or a ''mustahabb'' when the recitation reaches one of the verses of prostration. This ''Sujud'' occurs during the ''Tilawa'' recitation of the Quran, including Salah prayers in Salah al jama'ah. Muslim jurists have agreed on the legitimacy of the prostration of recitation, due to the presence of the correct verses and hadiths contained in it, but they differed in the quality of its religious legitimacy whether it was a duty or a delegate. There are fifteen places where Muslims believe, when Muhammad recited a certain verse ('' ayah''), he prostrated to Allah Almighty. Religious legality Shafi'i and Hanbali jurists are of the view that the prostration of recitat ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

In either cases the person corrects his/her salat by doing the Sujud Sahwi. Types of Sujud Sahwi Prophet Muhammad has detailed in the hadith what must be done in the case of a worshipper adding or subtracting something from their salat due to forgetfulness. Qabli (omitting from the prayer out of forgetfulness) Before making the tasleem (i.e. saying as-Salaam ‘Alaikum on both sides) the person must say the takbir (i.e. Allāhu Akbar) while sitting and then make two prostrations as per normal sujud. Then the tasleem is made. Ba'adi (adding to the prayer out of forgetfulness) After making the tasleem the person must stay seated and say the takbir while sitting and then make two prostrations. Then the tasleem is made again. When one has doubt as to whether added or subtracted from the prayer The ...

Tasbih
''Tasbih'' ( ar, تَسْبِيح, ) is a form of ''dhikr'' that involves the glorification of God in Islam, Allah in Islam by saying: ''"Subhan Allah"'' (; lit. "Glory be to God"). It is often repeated a certain number of times, using either the phalanges of the right hand or a ''misbaha'' to keep track of counting. Etymology The term ''tasbeeh'' is based on in the Arabic root of Shin (letter)#Arabic šīn/sīn, sīn-Bet (letter)#Arabic bāʾ, bāʾ-Heth#Arabic ḥāʾ, ḥāʾ (--). The meaning of the root word when written means to glorify. 'Tasbeeh' is an irregular derivation from ''subhan'', which is the first word of the constitutive sentence of the first third of the canonical form (see below) of tasbeeh. The word literally means, as a verb, "to travel swiftly" and, as a noun, "duties" or "occupation". However, in the devotional context, ''tasbih'' refers to ''Subhan Allah'', which is often used in the Qur'an with the preposition ''ʿan'' (), meaning "God is devoid [of ...

After the sermon, Kumayl expressed his interest in learning this dua and Ali dictated it to him. Ali then advised Kumayl to recite this dua on the eve of every Friday, or once a month, or, at least, once a year to ward off evil and receive divine blessings and ...
