hhhmmm?

No doubt, one of the most important aspects of our deen and Fiqh is the performance of Salat, right? After all it’s the second pillar of this deen and the sign of a true Muslim.

Performing Salat is very important indeed, but performing it right is indeed the most important. Do you know if your Salat was correctly performed all these years? How do you know?

But what is the right way of performing Salat? And why do we have differences amongst fuqaha over its positions?

Fard and Sunnah, rawatib and nafl, duha and qiyamul-layl…what else do we have to know about Salat?

Jumu’ah, jama’ah’, Eid Salat, Istisqaa’, khusoof and kusoof, combining and shortening…are there anymore salawat we should learn about?

History of Salat, it’s meaning, its rulings, and all what is needed to know about Salat.

Women’s Salat vs. Men, Imam vs. Ma’moom, making up and coming late for Salat…

Value and virtue, why and how, Muslim and non-Muslim…how to talk to others about Salat?

In contemporary time, when and how to do your Salat, in school, at work, in the airport or in the chapel…How much more do we need to learn about Salat?

All of this, and we are still not offering any class exclusively for Salat?!

Everyone is in search of guidance, and in search of people who will lead them to the success that they want in life. Tycoons, sports heroes, celebrities, politicians…all are looked up to by millions of people who hope to emulate them and walk in their footsteps.

What then, of following the footsteps of the greatest man to ever walk the face of the earth?

“I have never seen such a person neither before nor after seeing him. ”
[Ibn Hisham 1/401; Jami' At-Tirmidhi 4/303]

” I compared him with the moon and found that — for me — he was better than the moon.”
[Mishkat Al-Masabeeh 2/518]

“He was the most honored among the people with whom he sat. He was often silent and rarely talked when speech was not a necessity. He turned away from those whose speech was rude or impolite. His laughter was no more than a smile. His speech, which was decisive, it was neither excessive nor incomplete.”
[As-Shifa 1/107]

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ شَاهِدًا وَمُبَشِّرًا وَنَذِيرًا وَدَاعِيًا إِلَى اللَّهِ بِإِذْنِهِ وَسِرَاجًا مُّنِيرًا

“He was innocently bright and had broad countenance. His manners were fine. His voice was extremely commanding. His expression was pensive and contemplative, serene and sublime.

The stranger was fascinated from the distance, but no sooner he became intimate with him than this fascination was changed into attachment and respect.

His expression was very sweet and distinct. His speech was well set and free from the use of superfluous words, as if it were a rosary of beads.

He was always surrounded by his Companions.

Whenever he uttered something, the listeners would hear him with rapt attention and whenever he issued any command, they vied with each other in carrying it out.

His utterances were marked by truth and sincerity, free from all kinds of falsehoods and lies.”
-Umm Ma’bad Al Khuza’iyah
