Okay so you all might simply answer "the place of sijdah"
but I have come across this,that

During Qiyam(standing) -Sijdah
During Rukoo -between the feet
During Sijdah -towards the nose
During Jalsah(sitting) -in the lap

Which is correct? always towards sijdah place or the above?

bump?

During Qiyam, Rukoo and Sajdah one should look at the place of the prostration. And during Tashahud, at the finger which you wag through-out the Tashahud.

When the Prophet SAWS performed prayer, his eyesight did not leave the place of prostration and he forbade us from looking up at the sky or looking around in prayer.
Bukhari, Muslim

The Prophet SAWS would not let his head hang down nor would he raise it.
Bukhari, Muslim

In the tashahud, the Prophet SAWS would place his left palm on his left knee, clench all the fingers of his right hand, point with his index finger towards the Qibla and fix his sight on it.
Muslim

I would like to do an addition to this question;Is there no difference between the men and women in the manner of offering Salah?If the way offering Salah is same then can someone quote an authentic Hadith or a rwayat from any of the Wives(peace be upon them)of the Prophet S.A.W.W??

There is no difference in the salahs of men and women. But I cannot quote an authentic ahadeeth from any of the wives.

Prophet SAWS said waging of the right hand's index finger is more powerful than an iron rod against the Satan.

this depends on what madhab your actually following - as this is a fiqh issue - but some things dont change with people DIYing by using hadiths from Bukhari and muslim. Seems like everybodies a mujthaid today.

^True, seeing at a particular place is not even fardh during Namaaz.

I am not a mujthaid:><:

I am Hanafi, so according to that, what should I do?

"He (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) would spread his left palm on his left knee, clench all the fingers of his right hand, point with the finger adjacent to the thumb towards the qiblah, and fix his sight on it (i.e. the finger)."

Muslim, Abu `Awaanah & Ibn Khuzaimah. Humaidi (13/1) and Abu Ya`laa (275/2) added with a saheeh sanad on the authority of Ibn `Umar: "and this is the shooting of the devil; no-one will forget when he does this", and Humaidi raised his finger. Humaidi also said that Muslim bin Abi Maryam said, "A man related to me that in a church in Syria, he saw images of Prophets depicted like this", and Humaidi raised his finger. This is an extremely strange remark, but its sanad up to "the man" is saheeh.

no idea what madhab/hanifi is/means, but as ive never been told to do this, im gona just stick to the way ive always been doing it, till i can get a clearer answer. bro abdul you say your suposed to move your finger, well I have heard of ppl just liftin their finger and pointing it straight ahead, to say theres only 1 god ? no offense, but 1 person will tell you 1 thing and 1 another, so im gona try and find out myself before i start changin the way i perform salah.
