Namaaz ki Tarkeeb
Method of Prayer
  • Namaaz padhne ke liye ba wuzu qible ki taraf rukh kar ke khada ho jaaye aur jo namaaz padhna ho us ki niyyat dil mein kar le, jaise: Fajr ki namaaz ya Zohar ki namaaz padh raha hun.

 

  • To perform the prayer, stand facing the Qibla after performing ablution. Make the intention for the specific prayer in your heart, for example: "I am performing the Fajr prayer" or "I am performing the Zuhr prayer."

 

  • Yeh niyyat zabaan se bhi kehna behtar hai. Niyyat karne ke baad donon haath donon kaanon ki lau tak uthha kar Takbeere Tahreema "Allahu Akbar" kahe aur donon haath naaf ke neeche baandh le.

 

  • It is better to express the intention verbally. After making the intention, raise both hands up to the level of earlobe and say the Takbeer-e-Tahreema, which is "Allahu Akbar," then place both hands below the navel.

 

  • Phir Sana padhe: "Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika wa tabarakasmuka, wa ta’ala jadduka wa la ilaha ghairuk".

  • After that, recite Surah Al-Fatiha: "Alhamdu lillaahi Rabbil 'aalameen. Ar-Rahmaanir-Raheem. Maaliki Yawmid-Deen. Iyyaaka na'budu wa lyyaaka nasta'een. Ihdinas-Siraatal-Mustaqeem. Siraatal-lazeena an'amta 'alaihim ghayril-maghdoobi 'alaihim wa lad-daaalleen."
