I spent today trying to understand salah. As a programmer, I naturally want an algorithm. Below is what I came up with. Can someone verify that it is correct?
Code:
function salah(rakats)
stand
"Allahu Akbar" raise hands
for rakah = 1 to rakats do
stand, hands on chest
"Bismillahir rahmanir rahim. Al hamdu lil lahi rabbil 'alamin. Arrahmanir rahim. Maliki yawmiddin. Iyyaka na'budu wa iyyaka nasta'in. Ihdinas siratal mustaqim. Siratal ladhina an'amta'alaihim, ghairil maghdubi'alaihim wa lad dhallin. Amin"
if rakah <= 2 then say other verse
"Allahu Akbar" raise hands
hands on knees
3X "Subhana Rabbiyal Adhim."
"Sami'Allahu liman hamidah" raise hands
stand
"Rabbana lakal hamd."
"Allahu Akbar" bow
3X "Subhana Rabbiyal A'la."
"Allahu Akbar" sit
"Rabbighfir li."
"Allahu Akbar" bow
3X "Subhana Rabbiyal A'la."
"Allahu Akbar" sit
if rakah==2 or rakah==rakats then
"At-Tahiyyatu lillahi was- Salawatu wat-Tayyibatu. As-Salamu ' alaika ayyuhannabiyyu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. Assalamu 'alaina wa’ala ibadil-Lahis -Salihin ash hadu al-La ilaha il-Lal lahu wa ash hadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluhu."
end
end
"Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammadin Wa 'ala ali Muhammadin Kama sallaita 'ala Ibrahima wa 'ala ali Ibrahima wa barik 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala ali Muhammadin Kama barakta ' ala Ibrahima Wa ' ala ali Ibrahima Fil a'lamina Innaka hamidun Majid."
"Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min adhabi jahanam wamin adhabil qabri wamin sharri fitnatil mahya wal mamat wamin sharri fitnatil masihid dajjaal."
turn right "Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah"
turn left "Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah"
end
