اعوذب لله من الشيطان الرجيم
اتل ما أوحي إليك من الكتاب
وأقم الصلاة إن الصلاة تنهى عن الفحشاء والمنكر
ولذكر الله أكبر والله يعلم ما تصنعون

............................................................................................................
Let's Start To Pray
............................................................................................................

[1] Intention & Takbir

Stand right. Say the intention to pray in your heart.
E.g for Zuhr prayer, intend in the heart:
أصلي فرض الظهر أربع ركعات اداء لله تعالى
I pray fardhu Zuhr 4 raka'at for Allah Ta'ala


Keep the intention. Then raise your hands & say:
الله اكبر
Allah Most Great


After this, you're now starting the first raka'at.

[2] Recitations

For the 1st raka'at, it's recommended to start with the Iftitah:

الله أكبر كبيرا والحمد لله كثيرا
وسبحان الله بكرة وأصيلا
وجهت وجهي للذي فطر السموات والأرض
حنيفا مسلما وما انا من المشركين
إن صلاتي ونسكي ومحياي ومماتي لله رب العالمين
لا شريك له وبذلك أمرت وأنا من المسلمين

Allah Most Great and all praises to Allah greatly
All glories to Allah in the mornings and the evenings
I turn my face towards He
who Created the heavens and the earth
inclining toward truth as those who submit
and I am not of those who are idolaters
[Q6:79]
Indeed my prayers, my sacrifices, my life and my death
are for Allah Lord of the worlds
No partner has He, and this I have been commanded
and I am among those who submit
[Q6:162-163]

Recite Surah Al-Fatihah. This surah is read for every raka'at.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
الحمد لله رب العالمين
الرحمن الرحيم
مالك يوم الدين
إياك نعبد وإياك نستعين
اهدنا الصراط المستقيم
صراط الذين أنعمت عليهم
غير المغضوب عليهم ولا الضالين

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
(All) the praises for Allah, Lord of the worlds
The Most Gracious the Most Merciful
Sovereign of the Day of Judgment
It is You we worship and it is You we ask for help
Guide us to Siratul Mustaqim (straight path)
The path of whom You have bestowed favor upon them,
not the ones who incurred Your anger upon them, and not the astray


After reciting surah Al-Fatihah, it is recommended to recite another surah
for the first and second raka'at. E.g:
· for the first raka'at, recite surah Al-Ikhlas
· for the second raka'at, recite surah Al-Kauthar
· for other raka'at, there are no additional surah

[3] Rukuk

Bowing & rest for a moment. Say (3 times):

Allah Hears those who praise Him


Standing & rest for a moment. Say:

Our Lord to you is all praises


[5] Sujud

Prostrating & rest for a moment. Say (3 times):
سبحان ربي الأعلى وبحمده

[6] Sitting Between 2 Sujud

Sitting & rest for a moment. Recite:
رب اغفر لي وارحمني واجبرني وارفعني
وارزقني واهدني وعافني واعف عني

O my Lord, please forgive me, have mercy on me, cover my shame, raise me, sustain me, guide me, give me health and forgive me


Then repeat [5] to complete 2 prostrations.

Then from the 2nd prostration:
-----if this is the 2nd or final raka'at do [7]
-----else, start the next raka'at at [2]

[7] Tahiyyat Sitting

Sitting. Recite:
التحيات المباركات الصلوات الطيبات لله
السلام عليك ايها النبي ورحمة الله وبركاته
السلام علينا وعلى عباد الله الصالحين

The blessed salutations, the good blessings are for Allah

اشهد ان لا اله الا الله
واشهد ان محمد رسول الله
اللهم صل على محمد

I bear witness there is no God but Allah
And I bear witness Muhammad is Allah's Messenger
O Allah, please bless upon Muhammad


If this is the final final raka'at do [8]
Else, start the next raka'at at [2].

[8] Say Peace For The Prophets

Sitting. Recite:
اللهم صل على محمد وعلى آل محمد
كما صليت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم

as much as You bless upon Abraham and upon his family
and please bless upon Muhammad and upon his family
as much as You bless upon Abraham and upon his family
In the universe, verily You are Most Praised Most Majestic


[9] Salam

Say salam to your right:
السلا م عليكم ورحمة الله

and say salam to your left

After the salam, the prayer is completed ☆ الحمد لله

Isra II

From Mecca to Jerusalem | Journey Of Mankind

الحمد لله the month of Rejab is here. It's the month of Isra Mi'raj. سبحان الذي أسرى بعبده ليلا من المسجد الحرام إلى المسجد الأقصى [Q17:1 | QA] Isra is Prophet Muhammad's miracle night journey from Mecca to Jerusalem. & Mi'raj is his accession from Jerusalem to the heavens. All in one night.
PONDER : is it his vision (الرؤيا) which traveled at light speed
الرؤيا التي أريناك the vision which We showed you [Q17:60]
It was during the Isra Mi'raj that Allah's SWT commanded the 5 daily prayers [QA]. Since then, muslims started praying daily, facing Jerusalem. Yes, muslims started praying facing the Temple Mount.


The 5 daily prayers were commanded during Isra Mi'raj | Yom | advert

After the Isra Mi'raj, people from Yathrib who came to Mecca believed him, and spread the message in Yathrib. At that time, there were Jewish tribes living there — e.g. Bani Qainuqa', Bani Qurayzhah, Bani Nadhir — they were waiting for the Promised Messiah after the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple. [Q17:2-7] So, how did they regard the Isra Mi'raj and muslims praying facing the Temple Mount?
In Islam, before Prophet Jacob (Israel) [QA | Q19:58] passed away, he reminded his children, the Israelite, to "not die except while you are muslims" فلا تموتن إلا وأنتم مسلمون [Q2:131-133]. The faith in One Allah (Eloheinu eḥad) is the Shema Yisrael שמע ישראל ה' אלהינו ה' אחד passed down from parent to child.

"Muslim" means surrendering in peace to the One Allah (שלם, سلم)
לבבכם שלם let your heart be completely devoted [1 Kings 8:57-61]
Still, Prophet Muhammad's own people, the Meccan disregarded Isra Mi'raj. But Abu Bakr (RA) stood believing him. Abu Bakr was Prophet Muhammad's dearest friend, so close he accompanied him during their migration to Yathrib. When they arrived in Yathrib, the people embraced the leadership of Prophet Muhammad & Yathrib became a new state — Medina (מדינה). It is from Medina, Islam started shining.

Once, in Medina

The Prophet delivered a sermon and said, "Allah gave a choice to one of (His) slaves either to choose this world or what is with Him in the Hereafter. He chose the latter." Abu Bakr wept.

I said to myself, "Why is this Sheikh weeping, if Allah gave choice to one (of His) slaves either to choose this world or what is with Him in the Here after and he chose the latter?"

And that slave was Allah's Messenger himself. Abu Bakr knew more than us.

The Prophet said, "O Abu Bakr! Don't weep. The Prophet added: Abu Bakr has favored me much with his property and company. If I were to take a Khalil from mankind I would certainly have taken Abu Bakr, but the Islamic brotherhood and friendship is sufficient. Close all the gates in the mosque except that of Abu Bakr."


Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 1, Book 8, Hadith 455

It was Abu Bakr who realized Prophet Muhammad's parting was near. Then after Abu Bakr himself passed away, he rests next to Prophet Muhammad. And after that, Umar Al Khattab rests next to them. Their tomb is in the Prophet's Mosque in Medina, near the Baqi graveyard where other companions rests as well. | map

Then for Uthman bin Affan, his resting place makes me wonder whether it is true, that the Muslim graveyard was united with the Jewish graveyard, at the Baqi. (T - T) 🤍 Hashemite—Najjar والله أعلم


The Prophet's Mosque in Medina and The Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron
The burial place of the prophets as well as their beloved companions

Muslim wish peace for both prophets & their companions in our daily prayers

اللهم صل على محمد و على آل محمد
كما صليت على إبراهيم و على آل إبراهيم

O Allah, grant peace to Muhammad and his family
like You grant peace to Abraham and his family

إن الله خير عبدا بين الدنيا وبين ما عنده فاختار ما عند الله
Allah gave a choice to (His) slave - either this world or what is with Him, he chose what is with Allah

Yeah. Lois isn't a pampered celebrity. She might even have enemies ready to kill her. In reality, the Community to Protect Journalists (CPJ) reported so far 814 journalists have been killed since 1992.

So. Will we also remember them?

To me, they're precious even if they're not pampered celebrities. They help me see that good deeds is the best foundation for hope. وأقرضوا الله قرضا حسنا and loaned Allah SWT a beautiful loan. [Holy Quran 57:18]

So relieved, or be relieved. العبد المؤمن يستريح من نصب الدنيا، والعبد الفاجر يستريح منه العباد والبلاد والشجر والدواب The believing servant finds relief from the troubles of the world, and in the death of a wicked person, the people, towns, trees and animals find rellef. [Sahih Muslim, Book 4 Hadith 2075]


بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

واعبد ربك حتى يأتيك اليقين
And worship your Lord until there comes to you
the certainty (death).
[Holy Quran 15:99]

سلام عليكم بما صبرتم فنعم عقبى الدار
Peace for what you patiently endured,
and excellent is the final home.
[Holy Quran 13:24]

Zara Salim Davidson is a chemical engineer by training
Here she visited the pediatric ward to distribute Eid goodies

Recently, I read about an excellent student on the newspaper. I think she won the university award. More so, she is beautiful. & she hijab! (◠v◠)/ Still, funny even with the achievements, she has yet to reach the full page coverage of the super beauties.

Yeah, she didn't win a beauty pageant. She's a self declared bookworm, though. If that is interesting. اقرأ باسم ربك [Q96:1-5] Still, at least her spot was colored.

So. Honestly. I wonder when will the likes of her ever be the media darling. Yes, we Malaysians do have her type. But sadly, obscured? E.g.: only after Zara Salim Davidson's wedding did I know she existed. Ohh, if I had known her will I score As in my chemistry back then? & how ever did she weds, aren't educated women intimidating? (◠-◠)'

I hope society want more diversity for the people covered by the media. Dr Zeti Akhtar, how did she earn the trust to be the first woman central bank governor - a woman handling the financial crisis. Dr Jemilah, how did she establish Mercy Malaysia and survive being shot in Baghdad. That is something!

These are women professionals whose experiences are valuable for society. There's things we can learn from them, open our minds. That life is bigger & more diverse out there. ويتفكرون في خلق السماوات والأرض [Q3:191] If looks are a commercial factor, there are women like Dr Amy Mainzer. These ladies exist.


Princess Lalla Salma of Morocco also studied engineering
& now leads the Lalla Salma Association Against Cancer

Anyway. So thank God, if there are spots in the media for them. (◠v◠)/



Welcome
Peace be upon you
