Assalamu Alaikum


There are 5 obligatory prayers in the day:

1. Fajr (Done at Sunrise)
2. Dhuhr (Done Early Afternoon)
3. 'Asr (Done Late Afternoon)
4. Maghrib (Done at Sundown)
5. Isha (Done in Evening)

There are specific times at which these prayers have to be done because it depends on the location of the sun. Therefore, you can use islamicfinder.org to enter your location and find out the specific times the prayers should be done.

Essentially all the prayers are prayed similarly except the number of rakaat is what differs. A rakaa basically means how many courses of movements is to be done in a prayer.

So for example, Fajr requires 2 rakaat, dhuhr is 4, 'asr is 4, maghrib is 3, and isha is 4.

Before every prayer you have to be in a state of purity, so you have to perform wudhu (cleansing ritual/ablution) anytime you use the bathroom, pass gas, or come into contact with anything impure (such as urine). Ghusl (full body bath) is to be done after intercourse or if you're a female, after you complete your period/menses (you can't pray while you have your period/menses).

This is how wudhu is done:


You can use these youtube vids which highlight exactly how to do each movement for each prayer and what to say:

Fajr



Dhuhr



Asr



Maghrib




Isha



Before making wudhu, ghusl, and salaah always remember to make the intention in your heart first.

If you memorize the following it will make it so much easier on you: Al Fatiha, Tashahhud, Salah ibraheemiya

And of course if its difficult for you to memorize everything, you can always write down the words on a paper and use it as you do the movements until you can recite without the paper. If you have any other questions (I know it can get overwhelming) feel free to ask! :)

Sunnah is anything the prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) said or did. We get rewards/blessings for emulating the prophet (pbuh).

Fardh means obligatory. Actions which are fardh are also sunnah. So some prayers are fardh, meaning we have to do them, while others are not fardh, but encouraged sunnah meaning we have a choice in doing them, and if we do them then we will get extra reward for them.

I hope that makes sense..

Walaikum asalaam,

In their performance, there is no difference. You perform them the same way. The only thing which differs is the verses from quran or surahs you choose to use after reciting al-fatiha in the beginning. Does that answer your question?

The units of prayers are the same whether you are praying fard (obligatory), sunnah (recommended) or nawfil(voluntary) prayers. The 2 units of rakah are the same and 4 units of rakah are the same. The only difference is your intention. Are you making the intention for fard, sunnah or nawfil before you say "Allahu Akbar" and start your salah.

As mentioned previously, only difference is the surahs you recite after surfah Fatiha, you can recite same or different surahs each time after .

Walaikum asalaam,

The videos above explain what to say...the only thing you can change is the surah after al-fatiha. Otherwise, everything else should be the same as above for every prayer.

After al fatiha he recited surah al 'asr. You don't have to recite surah al 'asr, you can recite a different surah (like a short one such as surah al nas, or surah al falaq, or some consecutive verses from a different surah).

What he said after the 2nd sajdaah is the tashaahud and salaatul ibrahimeeya:

You too Ameen.

What he said is a dua which is recited before the salams. Its sunnah, so you dont have to say it to complete the salaah, but you will get more reward for doing it and is a good dua to make. Here it is :

"اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، وَمِنْ عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ، وَمِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ".

55. Allaahumma 'innee 'a'oothu bika min l'athaabil-qabri, wa min 'athaabi jahannama, wa min fitnatil-mahyaa walmamaati, wa min sharri fitnatil-maseehid-dajjaal.

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave, and from the punishment of Hell-fire, and from the trials of life and death, and from the evil of the trial of the False Messiah.

Reference: Al-Bukhari 2/102, Muslim 1/412, and this is Muslim's wording.

You can make other duas as well inshallah. If you know how to do fajr salaah then the rest of the salaahs will be easy inshallah.
