    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?

    Re: Where to look during salah.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Do you think the pious don't sin?

    They merely:
    Veiled themselves and didn't flaunt it
    Sought forgiveness and didn't persist
    Took ownership of it and don't justify it
    And acted with excellence after they had erred - Ibn al-Qayyim

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

    Re: Where to look during salah.

    "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.

    as the previous brother said. This is a fiqh issue.
    Since we are not learned, we follow particular madhab/imam, but we should not be fanatic.
    I follow madhab syafii, as most of indonesians are, but there are certain fiqh issues that I follow hanafi rather than syafii because i feel that hanafi has stronger basis on those issue.
    However, when sticking my finger during tashahud, I stick with syafii and does not move my finger.

    Re: Where to look during salah.



    I want to ask an off topic question here.
    Here it goes, so, there is a hadeeth of Prophet saws that there will be 73 sects in Islam and only 1 will go to Jannah. It is clear that the 1 sect which follows and strongly holds the sunnah and Quran will go to Jannah. So my question is does these different madhabs are different sects? Also there are many Muslims who claim to be Sunni and yet commit shirk either major shirk or the inconspicuous one.

    I am not learned/too informed about this issue, but here's my personal opinion: I don't think obsessing about the 73 sects is beneficial for us. I think the hadith serves a purpose to remind us to keep holding fast on the qur'an and sunnah while still need to be constantly vigilant in examining our own aqeedah
    Imam syafii, Imam abu hanifa, Imam malik and Imam Ahmad were all ahlu sunnah wal jamaah so we need not be too worried for following the four madzhab Insha allah.

    just to add the 4 madhabs are to do with fiqh (outward actions) and not with aqeada (belief) -
