Prayer in Islam is a rather complicated thing. It is almost impossible to remember everything the first time, and even more so to execute it without any errors. It takes months, or even years of practice. However, in any religion it is quite difficult to follow all the canons and know by heart all the prayers. In the same Christianity, thousands of prayers and rarely anyone knows them all. And if we talk about worship, then few people know the whole "church circle". The same is true in Islam.

It is in Islam that much attention is paid not only to the essence of prayer, but also to its visual design. For example, feet should be kept straight while pronouncing sacred words for a Muslim, so that the toes of the feet do not look in different directions. There is during prayer and his position for the hands. They should be crossed on the chest, but not on the stomach and should not be behind. During the bow, it is necessary that the legs do not bend, and the feet are level. An bow to the earth should be done as follows: first kneel, and then bend over, kiss the floor and freeze in this position for some time. That is what is called in Islam the bow of the earth.

According to the rules and canons, every faithful Muslim must perform prayer five times a day. Namaz is a ritual prayer, which includes the performance in a strictly defined order of body movements, for example, waist and earth bows.
Also, during prayer, practicing reading brief prayer formulas and reading verses from the Qur'an. As for the inside of the prayer, its deepest meaning is that the worshiper concentrates on what the worshiper reads, and he should have the feeling that Allah is watching him. Namaz can be performed both collectively and individually. The latter is especially practiced in Islam while traveling.
