Even today there are families where religion is at the forefront. They fast there, wear special clothes and pray. Of course, we are talking about Muslim families, where prayer is the basis of Islam, the fulfillment of which is mandatory for every believer. But to distinguish between types of prayer is a special science. For example, what is tasbih prayer? How to do it? And is it mandatory? Let's try to figure it out and determine the correct algorithm of actions.
About prayer
How important is prayer? Who is obligated to pray daily? A devout Muslim takes for granted the fact of the existence and unity of Allah, as well as the Prophet Muhammad. And if we recognize the existence of God, then it becomes obvious that there must be a praising of Allah through prayer. The main difference between prayer and other commands of Islam is that the command was given directly duringascension of the angel Jabrail. If you delve into history, then this happened more than a year before the resettlement of the Prophet Muhammad in Medina.
Namaz is the pillar of religion. It helps to cleanse the soul and saves from sins. One day, Muhammad asked his companions about whether dirt remains on the body if you perform ablution five times a day. The answer was negative, and since prayer cleanses the soul, then it should be five times.
Children are taught to pray from the age of seven.
Types of prayer
There are obligatory, desirable, necessary and additional types of prayer. They consist of a different number of rak'ahs, that is, complexes of movements and reading prayers. Rak'ah is a combination of correct posture, a bow from the waist and two bows to the ground. In addition to the daily five times, the Friday prayer, which is done by men, is also obligatory. Women can rest on this day. Also, the funeral prayer is obligatory. It is pronounced collectively.
And the wajib prayer, which is performed before going to bed, will be necessary. There are also holiday prayers, as well as additional ones. The latter include namaz-tasbih, which also has its own varieties. For example, ad-duha prayer, which is performed after sunrise and completed 20 minutes before noon. And after midnight they perform namaz at-tahajjud.
Some information
So, what is tasbih prayer? Of course, it has already been said that this is a prayer, but let's give a little more data. Otherwise, such a prayer is called nafil-namaz, and a large place is given to itpraises of Allah. It is said that the Messenger of Allah taught his uncle this prayer. But the latter was loyal and allowed to pray once a week, month or year for the remission of sins. For nafil prayer, Allah will forgive as many as ten types of sins.
Conditions for praying
It's not easy to pray. There are prerequisites for this. First of all, a person must be in a state of ritual cleanliness of the body, clothing and place of prayer. A man must cover his body from the navel to his knees, and a woman must cover everything except her face. When performing prayer, you need to turn towards Qibla, which is located in the Sacred Mosque in Mecca. It is important to observe the time of prayer and have a pure intention in the heart.
According to the text
Namaz-tasbih means the following words as dhikr: "Subhanallahi wal-hamdulillahi wa la ilaha illallahu wallahu akbar." And these words are repeated 75 times. It takes patience and sincerity in the soul to master such a prayer. And the namaz-tasbih itself consists of four rak'ahs. Then you need to read the surah al-Fatiha and any other, and after another fifteen times - the tasbih formula. The reading is interrupted by a bow from the waist, and already in this position the tasbih formula is read ten times. Then the bow ends, and the tasbiha formula is pronounced ten times again. Do not forget about the prostration, and again - the tasbih formula. It turns out that in one rak'ah the formula is mentioned 75 times. In the second rak'ah, the tasbih formula is already read 15 times. If you calculate, then for four rak'ahs, the worshiper pronounces the formula three hundred times. Toto explain the term, you need to know what tasbih is. After prayer - repeated remembrance of Allah.
Finally
A devout Muslim prays a lot, but puts tasbih prayer in a special place among others. How to do it, alone or not, he decides for himself, but attaches great importance to his state of mind in the process. It is believed that the Prophet Muhammad called this prayer the greatest gift of Allah, as it cleanses a person from sins of any prescription and severity, even if they are made even explicitly and consciously. So, in a good way, you should perform tasbih prayer daily. How to make it better? The time of day is not so critical, but you should not pray at night. The spirit must be calm, the person himself is in a state of peace of mind. It is better to move away from the means of communication, which are the phone, computer, tablet. You should not be interrupted by calls or the voices of neighbors. Choose a convenient day. Maybe it's a weekday when you can linger alone? It is enough to pray once a month. If there is still not enough time, then let it be once a year. In extreme cases, once in a lifetime is enough. After all, this is a prayer of such power, through which a person turns his whole soul inside out. Ways of reading namaz can be found in the books of Mufti Jamil Naziri, and he, in turn, refers to the collection of hadiths of Tirmizi.
Women are not recommended to perform tasbih prayer in the presence of strangers, especially men. If she is in a public place, thenyou should ask the men to leave, as she will take off her handkerchief. You also need to consider the situation when a person does not pray, but from time to time says tasbih. At the same time, a person remains a Muslim and even a true believer. True, he is a sinner before Allah, and therefore prayer must be conveyed to a person gently, but persistently, in no case frightening with hell. Ignorance of the words of prayer is not a contraindication, since even the prophet Muhammad said that it is enough to pronounce "Subhan Allah" when praying until the Koran is studied. But you can't be lazy! Study the Quran so that prayer is not a way to cleanse, but a power to get away from sin.
