SALAT
3:22:5 2023-08-01 1694

This is the five daily submission and remembrance of Allah the Creator. Muslims must face the Ka'bah (the First House built by Mankind) in Makkah (Mecca) in Arabia. Salat also incorporates a prayer (du'a) but the prayer does not necessarily have to be said during salat. Prayers can be said at any time.

Salat is performed by every Muslim above the age of puberty, who is sane and in good health; at dawn, afternoon, before sunset, after sunset and after nightfall. It involves physical movements of the limbs and recitation of short verses, in Arabic, from the Qur'an.

Salat involves making the intention of submission to the Creator, recitation of short verses from the Holy Qur'an, bowing, standing, sitting and prostrating on the earth with the forehead and praising God while doing these acts. We commence salat by saying "God is Great" (Allahu Akbar) once and ending it by saying "God is Great" three times.

The intention for the Dawn Salat is: "Oh Allah my Creator and my Lord, I intend to offer two rakat of salat for Fajr. I face the Ka'bah and I submit only to You".

Each unit of: Recitation, bowing, standing, prostrating and sitting is called the Rakath.

The five daily prayers are:

* Fajr (the Dawn Salat) must be performed after the first appearance of light and before sunrise - two rakat.

* Dhur (the Mid-day Salat) time for salat starts immediately after "proper" noon and must be performed before the afternoon salat - four rakat.

* Asr (the Afternoon Salat) starts immediately after the Mid-day Salat and must be performed before sunset - four rakat.

* Maghrib (the Dusk Salat) starts in between dusk and nightfall and can be said up to mid-night "proper"- three rakat.

* Isha' (the Night Salat) starts immediately after the Dusk salat has been performed and must be completed before Dawn - four rakat.

* While travelling the Dhur, Asr and Isha' prayers are shortened to two rakath.

If two or more people are present, the salat should be said in congregation, where the salat is lead by one person (imam).

When performing salat the person has to be physically and ceremonially/spiritually clean. Physical cleanliness is maintained by washing unclean (najis) things away from the body, i.e. washing after using the toilet, touching dead or unclean animals, blood etc...... . Spiritual cleanliness is carried out by performing ablution; before praying or reading the Holy Qu'ran. The place of salat has to be clean and the consent of the owner of that place must be obtained beforehand in order to perform salat.
