Many good people believe in God and don't do bad things. Although, if you simply believe in the Creator, do good, but do not practice religion, in fact you create your own religion for yourself. This is a fatal delusion!
If you took a step - believed in Allah, you need to take the second one - immediately start practicing your faith, since you may not live to see tomorrow. Need to be on time. The first thing to do is to start praying.
Namaz (salat, prayer) is the duty of any Muslim, an integral part of his life. It is difficult to call yourself a Muslim without performing the obligatory prayer.
On the Day of Judgment, the demand will be primarily for perfect prayers. If we sincerely and conscientiously performed the daily prayer five times, then the judgment for our transgressions will be more lenient.
Our faith is renewed and strengthened by prayer. “Verily, prayer keeps from the reprehensible and unworthy” (Quran, verse 45, sura 29).
To a person who first encountered numerous Islamic literature, manuals on how to read namaz correctly, it may seem that studying itwill take many weeks. It doesn't really take much effort.
Explaining to a woman how to read namaz correctly is the responsibility of the guardian and husband.
Namaz consists of obligatory and desirable (sunnah) elements. Sunnats performed improve the prayer, but leaving them is not a sin.
Salat (prayer) is the worship of Allah and it is performed not randomly, but in a strictly defined way. Namaz consists of certain movements and words and is performed at a certain time. Five conditions are necessary for it to take place:
- Observance of the time of five prayers and the number of prayer cycles (rak'ahs). A Muslim is ordered to perform five prayers daily and each has a segment of the day for its performance and a certain time.
-
Washing and in general cleansing (places of prayer, clothes, body) from physical impurities. Prayer should be performed only in a state of ritual purity. If this condition is not observed, the salat is considered invalid. Wudu is the washing of parts of the body in a prescribed manner with the intention of being cleansed for prayer.
- Body covering. Clothing should not be tight or provocative. Women must cover all forbidden places.
- Intention (niyat). First, a Muslim must intend in his heart to perform a certain prayer (zuhr, asr or additional salat) and only then perform it. The intention should be in the heart, it does not need to be voiced.
- Direction towards the Kaaba. Muslim mustpray facing the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca.
As for the question of how to read namaz correctly for women, everything that was mentioned when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) prayed applies to both men and women equally. To summarize, the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) “pray as they saw me praying” apply to women.
It is desirable for women to read suras during prayer in a whisper, and if an outsider hears them, then this becomes a mandatory requirement.
Women are allowed to pray in the mosque, but it is preferable that they pray at home.
There is, in fact, no difference between how to read namaz for women and the prayers of men, but there are special conditions for a woman regarding the issue of ablution before prayer:
- cleansing after menstruation;
- purification after childbirth;
- abnormal bleeding.
How to read namaz during pregnancy?
When reading a prayer, bows and bows are obligatory. However, if a pregnant woman (in the last stages or in case of complications) is not able to perform, for example, bows to the ground or read a prayer while standing, then she does what she can. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Pray standing up, and if you cannot, then sitting, and if you cannot, then lying down” (al-Bukhari, 1117)
Prayer for beginner women may seem difficult and exorbitant: words are not remembered, time is confused, notit turns out to do everything as expected, etc. The main thing is not to put it off until later, because "later" may not come. And do not be afraid to make mistakes and be afraid to do something wrong. Allah sees your intention and effort.
And remember that where there is difficulty, Allah always provides relief. You just need to know how and when to apply these reliefs. For example, if you do only obligatory prayers, neglecting the sunnats even when you have time for this, then your iman (belief) will weaken and may come to naught. And there are situations when it is allowed to combine some prayers (for a traveler, for example), not to perform ablution three times (in case of insufficient water), etc.
Allah sent us Islam to facilitate our life in this world and achieve the highest happiness in life eternal.
