Every legitimate Muslim should be able to read namaz. But how to start and what to do for those who just want to learn to perform the prayer? Try to read it for now without fulfilling all the necessary rules, but in order to do everything right, you should visit the mosque and acquire special literature.
You will need
- - learn the surah of al-Fatiha;
- - prepare a place for prayer, while the body and clothing should be clean;
- - stand facing Mecca.
Instruction manual
1
If you have just converted to Islam or have recently begun to abide by all its rules, simply repeat the prayer movements for the one who reads it (for the imam), while you can be silent for now, and at the end repeat the word "Amen."
2
If you read the prayer at home and you don’t have anyone to repeat, stand facing the location of the city of Mecca and read the surah al-Fatiha during all the actions. One must read aloud to hear oneself, while observing all the rules and the sequence of verses, pronouncing all the letters without distortion. It is best to learn the correct reading of the surah from a trusted teacher.
3
If you have already begun studying Al-Fatih and know one or several suras, repeat them several times to result in pronouncing the same volume of text as when reading the whole Al-Fatih surah (156 letters).
4
If you have not yet learned how to read the Al-Fatih surah correctly, read any passage from the Holy Quran (which you can read well). Please note that the passage must contain no less letters than the surah (156 letters).
5
In order to perform the namaz, despite the fact that you do not know how to read from Al-Fatih or from the Qur'an, just say the words of remembrance of Allah (dhikr). For example, say the phrase “Allah is above all shortcomings, Praise and Glory be to Allah, there is no deity but Allah, Allah is Almighty” (it will sound like this: “Subhana-allah, wa-l-hamdu-l-llyah, wa la ilyah illa-llah, wa-llahu Akbar ").
6
As a last resort, remember, the Prophet in a hadith said: “If you can read the Quran, read it. If you can’t, read Al-Hamdu-lil-lah, la ilyah illa-lallah, Allahu Akbar.” So you can say twenty times the word "Allahu Akbar", and that will be enough.
7
If you are completely at a loss and cannot read any of the above, then just stand silently for as long as it takes to read the Al-Fatih surah at a moderate pace.
