Sujud
Sujūd ( ar, سُجود, ), or sajdah (, ), is the act of low bowing or prostration to God facing the ''qiblah'' (direction of the Kaaba at Mecca). It is usually done in standardized prayers (salah). The position involves kneeling and bowing till one touches the ground with the forehead, nose, palms, knees and toes, and remaining in that position until one attains a relaxed state while glorifying God ( ''subḥāna rabbiya l-ʾaʿlā'', "Glory be to my Lord, the Most High!") thrice or more in odd number of times. Overview Sujud (prostration) is one of the main pillars of daily prayer in Islam. A single act of sujud is called a sajdah (plural ''sajdāt''). Muslims do sujud several times in each prayer, depending on the number of '' raka'at'' of prayer: two sajadat are performed every raka'ah, and prayers vary in obligatory length between two and four raka'at (additional supererogatory raka'at are often performed as ''sunnah muakkadah'', or emulation of the example of Muhammad ...

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 ...

Sujud Shukr
The Prostration of thanksgiving ( ar, سجود الشكر, ''sujud shukr'') is a prostration (''sujud'') which is made to thank God (''Allah''). Presentation The ''madhhab'' school of Islamic jurisprudence (''fiqh'') of the Shafi’i and Hanbali imams regarding the ruling on ''prostration of thanksgiving'' when there is a reason for it is a Sunnah, according to the hadiths that indicate that the Prophet Muhammad was doing it. Abd-al-Baqi al-Zurqani (d.1688) added to this legitimation according to the Maliki school, that the ''prostration of thanksgiving'' is not fard or required, meaning it is not mustahabb or desirable, but it is only mubah or permissible. It was well known in the Maliki school that the rule of ''prostration of thanksgiving'' is that it is makruh, and this is the text of Malik ibn Anas, which appeared from his saying that it is a makruh close to the forbidden haram. As for the madhhab of Abu Hanifa, he considers it to be included in the makruh, except that t ...

Sujud Sahwi
Sujud Sahwi or Sajdah of forgetfulness occurs during the ritual salat prayer. Out of forgetfulness a person can either omit obligatory parts of salat (Qabli) or add to the salat (Ba'adi). 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 ...

Tilawa
The Tilawa ( ar, تِلَاوَة) is a recitation of the successive verses of the Qur'ān in a standardized and proven manner according to the rules of the ten recitations. Presentation The ''Tilawa'' of the Quran is given in terms and meanings, because the Qira'at or recitation of the pronouncement of successive verses is part of the term following the accepted reading of Allah's Book. One of the meanings of the ''Tilawa'' of the Quran is that the Qāriʾ who reads must rationalize what he is reading and follows the directions contained in what he is reading. Levels In the science of tajweed, the qāriʾ needs to know the levels or ranks in which he recites the ''tilawa'', and these four ranks are all mubah or permissible, which are: # ''Tarteel'' ( ar, تَرْتِيلٌ). # ''Tadweer'' ( ar, تَدْوِيرٌ). # ''Tahqeeq'' ( ar, تَحْقِيقٌ). # ''Hadr'' ( ar, حَدْرٌ). Mastery Mastering the ''tilawa'' recitation requires knowing its ranks and levels in order ...

Raka'ah
A Rak'ah ( ar, ركعة ', ; plural: ') is a single iteration of prescribed movements and supplications performed by Muslims as part of the prescribed obligatory prayer known as salah. Each of the five daily prayers observed by Muslims consists of a number of raka'at. Procedure After washing for prayer by performing the ritual ablution, a believer must renew their innermost intention, thus purifying their prayer for the sake of Allah. An intention Niyyah is not to be said verbally but rather it is made in the heart; but can also be said verbally alongside the intention in the heart. Example: you intended in your heart to pray 4 Units (Rakahs) for you start your prayer. The raka'ah begins when the worshipper initiates the salah with the words "Allah is The Greatest", (Allah-hu-Akbar) this is known in Arabic as the Takbir (). Takbir must be said at the start of the Salah or the prayer is invalidated. The individual will observe the standing position while reciting the "Dua al ...

Prostration
Prostration is the gesture of placing one's body in a reverentially or submissively prone position. Typically prostration is distinguished from the lesser acts of bowing or kneeling by involving a part of the body above the knee, especially the hands, touching the ground. Major world religions employ prostration as an act of submissiveness or worship to a God, supreme being or other worshiped entity (i.e. God), as in the ''metanoia'' in Christian prayer used in the Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox Churches and the ''sajdah'' of the Islamic prayer, ''salat''. In various cultures and traditions, prostrations are similarly used to show respect to rulers, civil authorities and social elders or superiors, as in the Culture of China, Chinese kowtow or Ancient Greek ''proskynesis''. The act has often traditionally been an important part of religious, civil and traditional rituals and ceremonies, and remains in use in many cultures. Traditional religious practices Many relig ...

Qibla
The qibla ( ar, قِبْلَة, links=no, lit=direction, translit=qiblah) is the direction towards the Kaaba in the Sacred Mosque in Mecca, which is used by Muslims in various religious contexts, particularly the direction of prayer for the salah. In Islam, the Kaaba is believed to be a sacred site built by prophets Abraham and Ishmael, and that its use as the qibla was ordained by Allah in several verses of the Quran revealed to Muhammad in the second Hijri year. Prior to this revelation, Muhammad and his followers in Medina faced Jerusalem for prayers. Most mosques contain a '' mihrab'' (a wall niche) that indicates the direction of the qibla. The qibla is also the direction for entering the ''ihram'' (sacred state for the hajj pilgrimage); the direction to which animals are turned during ''dhabihah'' (Islamic slaughter); the recommended direction to make ''dua'' (supplications); the direction to avoid when relieving oneself or spitting; and the direction to which the deceas ...
