As-salam alaikum waramotullahi Wabarakatu, today I'll like to share some significance of Solat.
The Obligatory prayer "SOLAT" is a blessing upon us and it's recorded that the Five Obligatory Prayers were made in the night of the Prophet Muhammad's (P.B.U.H) ascension to heaven.
It is also in record that the actual numbers of prayers were 50(fifty) but by Allah's Mercy it was reduced to 5(five) after the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) was convinced by the Prophet Musa (A.S.W) that 50 was too much for humans. And alhamdullilah it was reduced to 5.
Below is the table of Rakah for Solat!
Requirements for Performing SOLAT
One should be in a state of cleanliness (or perform Ghusl)
One needs to be dressed well. Covering all parts of your body necessary to be covered.
Wuduh: Also know as ablution(purification), one should renew ablution before every solat.
Another requirement is to face the Qibla. This is a form of unison for all Muslim.
Qiyam- standing to pray, staying clear away from distractions.
Followed by - Niyat and the components of solat( Takbiratul Ihran (Allahu Akbar), Duration Fatima, Rukhu, Sajda, Last Tahyyat and Salutations to the right and left side).
