Ever Wondered How to Pray the Muslim Way?

This video explains how Muslims pray - what they say and do during prayer. Establishing prayer (salaat) is the second pillar of Islam. Muslims must pray five times a day at fixed times: Fajr - after dawn but before sunrise; Dhuhr - when the sun begins to decline after high noon; Asr - when the sun is about midcourse on its way to setting; Maghrib - just after sunset; 'Ishaa - when the red glow of the sun in the west dissapears up until midnight. In addition to these five compulsory prayers there are two optional prayers: Lail - after midnight and after being replenished by sleep, but before dawn; Dzuha - around breakfast time. There are also specific prayers for special occasions - such as Ramadan and Eid.

Each prayer is made up of a number of compulsory (fard) units of prayer (rak'as) preferably said in congregation - Fajr 2, Dhuhr 4, Asr 4, Maghrib 3, 'Ishaa 4. This video explain the Fajr (morning) prayer. It explains how to pray according to the Sunni school of Imam Hanifa - about 49% of all Sunni Muslims. There are minor variations between the four Sunni schools, and the Shi'a also pray in a different manner.

"No...can't say I have."

wumpus - exactly the kind of comment I have come to expect from you. You belong to the quantumushroom school of thought: never question one's own beliefs or opinions, never attempt to learn anything about other peoples or cultures, hate those that are different from you, etc.

Believe in prayer, but not the Idol. Don't really trust the God of Abraham either..... Gwaan, to try to instill a sense of a culture to the unschooled west, may not be effectual for the good of all with a view to paradigm change.....Part of what will change this planet is truth. Praying on to or for Allah, while the sentiment is as old as humanity-is what it is. A Human unable to answer a question, so he turns to a higher power for solace....meditation works better than prayer, Allah is a fantasy (though the benevolent omni-being is all and everywhere), and a retrograde, throwback system of beliefs, a billion strong, is NOT what the planet needs
for progressive change.

So....No. Could care less how Muslims pray, already know WHY they do......same problem Roman Catholics have with the rosary.......a tradition that has its roots perhaps, in Tibetan Buddhism- Islam has, like the catholic church, many great structures, contributions, yadda yadda....but overall.....Their shit stinks, just like the rest of them, and a religion like Islam, is nothing but a hindrance in this day and age....the more children that can be programmed otherwise, will enable them to CHOOSE to be a Muslim, and not simply....BE a muslim.....Take the kids away from the tradition....it does nothing for most of their meat computers, but render it infected, with a lifetime virus.

Praying in public, is tantamount to streaking at a football match....."Look at Me, I am Holy, and yer not!"

And yes, if they decided to let the call to prayer go out on loudspeakers in the U.S.....You'd probly' see the speakers in the street the next day, after having been dragged behind, a familiar Pick-up. Why??? Because of a blind hatred or mistrust of Muslims, Islam, etc?? Or because the Jewish God is the Real one?? No- Because that is not part of my freekin' culture, which I also hope to maintain some semblance of, should the melting pot become a smelting pot, and the diversity in and of itself, blur the real reason a border, a language and culture are here.....You want yours to be preserved, I want mine to be preserved.....simple. I want to see buildings of learning and progress as I walk the streets, not mosques.....

I learn plenty from other cultures, but unlike the masses of brainwashed multicultural fools, I don't pretend that the culture that put men on the moon is merely "equal" to the ones sawing the heads off of journalists.

Christianity grew up over the centuries; Islam didn't. Western Civilization is superior, surpassing even the Asian cultures that preceded it. Call this racism or intolerance or whatever, it's the f--kin' truth. No one born outside of the Middle East wants to live there while everyone's still making the bum's rush for "corrupt" America.

Whether there's enough worth saving in Islam will be decided by its supposed "moderate" silent majority. If they keep letting islamofascists speak and act for them, they're doomed.

I repeat: Western Civilization is superior, surpassing even the Asian cultures that preceded it. Call this racism or intolerance or whatever, it's the f--kin' truth. The West will erase the entire Middle East--oil and all--with nuclear fire before regressing to the tyranny of Sharia.
