For example, when someone places both feet on the feet location on the prayer mat, the sensors in My Salah Mat recognise the pressure, and the first action of the Muslim prayer is heard (Allahu Akbar), followed by Surah Fatiha. Then when the knees, hands, and head touch the relevant locations on the mat, the sound related to that part of the prayer is heard. 7) Make dua for them Muslims believe that Muhammad practiced, taught, and disseminated the worship ritual in the whole community of Muslims and made it part of their life. The practice has, therefore, been concurrently and perpetually practiced by the community in each of the generations. The authority for the basic forms of the salah is neither the hadiths nor the Quran, but rather the consensus of Muslims. [61] [62] Turner, Colin (19 December 2013). Islam: The Basics.

Most mothers of small kids struggle with khushoo during salah because they are surrounded with kids 24/7. We can’t run away from kids for that peaceful time with Allah and we can’t even concentrate when we are amidst hyper active/hungry/cranky kids. So the solution that works most days is to include them in our salah time.

Some Quranists make the argument that the Quran does not support the traditional meaning ascribed to salah, saying that it instead means "duty" or perhaps "adherence", though this is yet to receive any widespread academic support. Those who argue for this interpretation often refer to verse 33:56 of the Quran which states that "Allah and His Angels yuṣallūna upon the Prophet". They argue that such verses demonstrate the conventional understanding of salah to be inconsistent and in this case blasphemous as the idea of Allah praying to Muhammad (or indeed praying at all) is at odds with the Quran's message of strict monotheism. [ citation needed] Namaz [ edit ] While sitting, recite the first part of the Tashahud, ‘At-tahiyyatu lillah, was-salawaatu wat-tayyibaat. As-salaamu ‘alayka ayyuhan-Nabiyyu wa rahmat-Ullahi wa barakaatu. As-salaamu ‘alayna, wa ‘alaa ‘ibaadi-llahis saaliheen'. This means, ‘All compliments are for Allah, and prayers and goodness. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and on the righteous servants of Allah'. Tahajjud (Arabic: تَهَجُّد) are supererogatory prayers offered late at night. Prayers of this kind are observed from midnight to the prescribed time of the Fajr prayer. [53] The prayer includes any number of even rakat, performed in twos or fours, followed by three or more odd rakat of witr prayer. [54] Shia Muslims offer similar prayers, simply called nightly prayers (Arabic: صَلَوَات اللَّيل). These are considered highly meritorious, and can be offered in the same time as tahajjud. [55] [56] These prayers include eleven rakat: 8 nafl (4 prayers of 2 rakat each), 2 rakat shaf' prayer and 1 rakat witr. [56] Witr (Arabic: وِتر lit. 'string') are prayers offered either with the Isha prayer or with the tahajjud/salawat al-layl. Some consider this prayer compulsory ( wajib), while others consider it supererogatory. These are performed in odd numbers of rakats, with slight differences between madhhabs. The prayer usually includes the qunūt. [55] Other prayers [ edit ] If you are praying the three Rak‘ah of Maghrib, you must now repeat steps 20 to 23. Then repeat steps 25 to 27. Your Maghrib prayer is now completed!

As Fudayl ibn Iyyad (a scholar from the past) said: “Dua is the weapon of the believer”. It is a direct link to our Rabb with no barriers. We know He’s All-Hearing and All-Powerful and thus have all the ability to do as He wills. Thus parents shall never let go of this weapon to guard and guide themselves and their loved ones. Say quietly, ‘SubhanaK-Allahumma wa bihamdiKa, wa tabaarak-asmuKa, wa ta-‘aala jadduKa, wa la ilaaha ghayruK’. This means ‘O Allah, glory and praise are for You, and blessed is Your Name, and exalted is Your Majesty and there is no god but You’.Sahih al-Bukhari 646 - Call to Prayers (Adhaan) - كتاب الأذان - Sunnah.com - Sayings and Teachings of Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه و سلم)". sunnah.com .

We asked women in our FB group ( Productive Muslimaat) –“WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST STRUGGLE IN SALAH (particularly praying on time)”? and most women said that it was their children because of whom they struggle to pray on time. And of course, as mothers of small kids ourselves, we understand that struggle. Struggles of Praying with Children Around denotes sunnah mu'akkadah (verified sunnah), which must be offered by adherents of the Hanafi madhhab. Note: All of Fajr must be read out loud for men praying in congregation. Dhuhr and ‘Asr must be made in complete silence and under your breath. The first two Rak‘ahs of Maghrib and ‘Isha should be read out loud, the remaining are to be read in silence.As we are also teaching kids Arabic step by step, the language feature in my salah mat came in handy.

Muhammad Ali, Maulana. Religion of Islam. Ahmadiyya Anjuman Ishaat; Sixth Revised edition (June 1989). ISBN 978-0913321324.
