Five prayers (namaz) are obligatory for all mature and mentally he althy Muslims. Namaz for women is not only an obligation, but also the greatest mercy shown by the Lord to his weak slaves. Prayer opens up many possibilities for the sincere prayer.
Prayer for women - what is it?
1. The ability to get rid of bad character traits.
2. A chance to receive forgiveness of sins.
3. A way to get an answer to requests and prayers, because after prayer, Allah answers petitions and appeals.
4. The method of self-education, the development of such qualities as self-discipline and composure, which is often lacking for the weak female sex.
5. Educational moment. Children are a reflection of their parents, primarily mothers, who are next to the baby around the clock during the first years of his life, when the child learns to perceive the world with its rules and laws.
Prayer for women - reminder words
When a person touches the floor with his forehead in a bow, realizing all his weakness before the power of the Creator, when he pronounces the words of recognition of the will of Allah and humbles himself before Himpower, at such a moment a moral purification of the believer takes place, and selfishness and moral weaknesses imposed by this mortal world recede. Namaz for women is a great reminder of the sins committed between prayers.
Daily, it would seem, minor flaws of this life actually conceal great evil and corrupt the spirituality of a person, but regular contact in prayer with God, awareness of one’s weakness and temporary existence in this world seem to return a person to a pure state and make them repent of their sinful deeds.
How to pray for women
In fact, it does not have much difference from the prayer of men. This is a series of certain pillars of prayer, a series of bows and readings of the Koran, prayers and repentance.
If you briefly list the differences between the prayer of women and the prayer of men, you get the following list:
1. Shelter of the body (awrah) from the head to the floor, except for the hands and the oval of the face. Imam Azam abu Hanifa believed that the soles of the feet could also be open. Other scholars say they should be closed as well.
2. For men, Friday prayer in the mosque is strictly obligatory, but for women it is not.
3. Women do not read namaz during menstruation and postpartum cleansing. You do not need to replenish it later.
4. It is most desirable for a woman to read namaz in the most remote places at home, so as not to attract the attention of strangers who can see her at the time of prayer.
5. It is not necessary for a woman to read the second call to prayer -ikamat.
6. Unlike men, a woman does not need to read the obligatory morning, evening and night prayer aloud at all.
7. The imam (leader) of women stands in one row, and not in front.
Prayer for women is the same urgent duty as for men. Allah in the Qur'an speaks of the equality of all slaves before Him, regardless of their position in this world. The only thing is that women, due to their weak body and because of their childbearing function, are given some indulgences in the days of their he alth problems.
