Sujud
Sujūd ( ar, سُجود, ), or sajdah (, ), is the act of low bowing or prostration to God facing the ''qiblah'' (direction of the Kaaba at Mecca). It is usually done in standardized prayers (salah). The position involves kneeling and bowing till one touches the ground with the forehead, nose, palms, knees and toes, and remaining in that position until one attains a relaxed state while glorifying God ( ''subḥāna rabbiya l-ʾaʿlā'', "Glory be to my Lord, the Most High!") thrice or more in odd number of times. Overview Sujud (prostration) is one of the main pillars of daily prayer in Islam. A single act of sujud is called a sajdah (plural ''sajdāt''). Muslims do sujud several times in each prayer, depending on the number of ''raka'at'' of prayer: two sajadat are performed every raka'ah, and prayers vary in obligatory length between two and four raka'at (additional supererogatory raka'at are often performed as ''sunnah muakkadah'', or emulation of the example of Muhammad ...

Sujud Shukr
The Prostration of thanksgiving ( ar, سجود الشكر, ''sujud shukr'') is a prostration (''sujud'') which is made to thank God (''Allah''). Presentation The ''madhhab'' school of Islamic jurisprudence (''fiqh'') of the Shafi’i and Hanbali imams regarding the ruling on ''prostration of thanksgiving'' when there is a reason for it is a Sunnah, according to the hadiths that indicate that the Prophet Muhammad was doing it. Abd-al-Baqi al-Zurqani (d.1688) added to this legitimation according to the Maliki school, that the ''prostration of thanksgiving'' is not fard or required, meaning it is not mustahabb or desirable, but it is only mubah or permissible. It was well known in the Maliki school that the rule of ''prostration of thanksgiving'' is that it is makruh, and this is the text of Malik ibn Anas, which appeared from his saying that it is a makruh close to the forbidden haram. As for the madhhab of Abu Hanifa, he considers it to be included in the makruh, except that ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Prostration
Prostration is the gesture of placing one's body in a reverentially or submissively prone position. Typically prostration is distinguished from the lesser acts of bowing or kneeling by involving a part of the body above the knee, especially the hands, touching the ground. Major world religions employ prostration as an act of submissiveness or worship to a supreme being or other worshiped entity (i.e. God), as in the ''metanoia'' in Christian prayer used in the Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox Churches and the ''sajdah'' of the Islamic prayer, ''salat''. In various cultures and traditions, prostrations are similarly used to show respect to rulers, civil authorities and social elders or superiors, as in the Chinese kowtow or Ancient Greek ''proskynesis''. The act has often traditionally been an important part of religious, civil and traditional rituals and ceremonies, and remains in use in many cultures.

Sujud Tilawa
The prostration of recitation ( ar, سجود التلاوة, ''sujud tilawa'') is a prostration ('' sujud'') which occurs during the ritual Tilawa of Quran in Salah or outside it. Presentation Defining the prostration of recitation ('' tilawa'') as a movement of prostration resulting from the reason that it is a duty (') or a ''mustahabb'' when the recitation reaches one of the verses of prostration. This ''Sujud'' occurs during the ''Tilawa'' recitation of the Quran, including Salah prayers in Salah al jama'ah. Muslim jurists have agreed on the legitimacy of the prostration of recitation, due to the presence of the correct verses and hadiths contained in it, but they differed in the quality of its religious legitimacy whether it was a duty or a delegate. There are fifteen places where Muslims believe, when Muhammad recited a certain verse ('' ayah''), he prostrated to Allah Almighty. Religious legality Shafi'i and Hanbali jurists are of the view that the prostration of rec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ruku'
Rukūʿ ( ar, رُكوع, ) can refer to either of two things in Islam: * The act of belt-low bowing in standardized prayers, where the backbone should be in rest, before straightening up to go for sujud (full earth-low bowing). * A paragraph of the Quran. In prayer, it refers to the bowing at the waist from standing ('' qiyām'') on the completion of recitation ('' qiraʾat'') of a portion of the Qur'an in Islamic formal prayers (salah). There is a consensus on the obligatory nature of the ''rukūʿ''. The position of ''rukūʿ'' is established by bending over till the hands are on the knees and remaining in that position until one attains a relaxed state while glorifying God ( ''subḥāna rabbiya l-ʿaẓīm'', "Glory be to my Lord, the Most Magnificent!") thrice or more in odd number of times. In Al-Ghazali's book ''Inner Dimensions of Islamic Worship'', he wrote about the ''rukūʿ'' by saying: :Bowing (''rukūʿ'') and prostration (''sujūd'') are accompanied by a ...

Raka'ah
A Rak'ah ( ar, ركعة ', ; plural: ') is a single iteration of prescribed movements and supplications performed by Muslims as part of the prescribed obligatory prayer known as salah. Each of the five daily prayers observed by Muslims consists of a number of raka'at. Procedure After washing for prayer by performing the ritual ablution, a believer must renew their innermost intention, thus purifying their prayer for the sake of Allah. An intention Niyyah is not to be said verbally but rather it is made in the heart; but can also be said verbally alongside the intention in the heart.

Sujud Sahwi
Sujud Sahwi or Sajdah of forgetfulness occurs during the ritual salat prayer. Out of forgetfulness a person can either omit obligatory parts of salat (Qabli) or add to the salat (Ba'adi). In either cases the person corrects his/her salat by doing the Sujud Sahwi.

Tilawa
The Tilawa ( ar, تِلَاوَة) is a recitation of the successive verses of the Qur'ān in a standardized and proven manner according to the rules of the ten recitations. Presentation The ''Tilawa'' of the Quran is given in terms and meanings, because the Qira'at or recitation of the pronouncement of successive verses is part of the term following the accepted reading of Allah's Book. One of the meanings of the ''Tilawa'' of the Quran is that the Qāriʾ who reads must rationalize what he is reading and follows the directions contained in what he is reading. Levels In the science of tajweed, the qāriʾ needs to know the levels or ranks in which he recites the ''tilawa'', and these four ranks are all mubah or permissible, which are: # ''Tarteel'' ( ar, تَرْتِيلٌ). # ''Tadweer'' ( ar, تَدْوِيرٌ). # ''Tahqeeq'' ( ar, تَحْقِيقٌ). # ''Hadr'' ( ar, حَدْرٌ).

Muslim
Muslims ( ar, المسلمون, , ) are people who adhere to Islam, a monotheistic religion belonging to the Abrahamic tradition. They consider the Quran, the foundational religious text of Islam, to be the verbatim word of the God of Abraham (or ''Allah'') as it was revealed to Muhammad, the main Islamic prophet. The majority of Muslims also follow the teachings and practices of Muhammad (''sunnah'') as recorded in traditional accounts ('' hadith''). With an estimated population of almost 1.9 billion followers as of 2020 year estimation, Muslims comprise more than 24.9% of the world's total population.

Al-Ikhlas
Al-Ikhlāṣ ( ar, الْإِخْلَاص, "Sincerity"), also known as the Declaration of God's Unity and al-Tawhid ( ar, التوحيد, "Monotheism"), is the 112th chapter (''sūrah'') of the Quran. According to George Sale, this chapter is held in particular veneration by Muslims, and declared, by Islamic tradition, to be equal in value to a third part of the whole Quran . It is said to have been revealed during the Quraysh Conflict with Muhammad in answer to a challenge over the distinguishing attributes of God, Muhammad invited them to worship. Al-Ikhlas is not merely the name of this surah but also the title of its contents, for it deals exclusively with Tawhid. The other surahs of the Quran generally have been designated after a word occurring in them, but in this surah the word Ikhlas has occurred nowhere. It has been given this name in view of its meaning and subject matter. Summary * 1-4 The unity of God declared Text and meaning Text and transliteration *H ...
