Question for Muslims

[Ahlam]

Before Muslims may pray, we must be in a ritually pure condition. This means that we must perform the ablution in order to be clean. Islam teaches that before we present ourselves before Go, we must make every effort to look presentable.

Each of the five daily prayers is performed in a similar way. The only difference between them is the total number of movements in each. The basic procedure to each prayer consists of standing and reciting a chapter from the Qur'an, bowing at the waist and glorifying God, and then prostrating twice on the ground while extolling God's power. This complete cycle is called a "Rak'ah", or unit of prayer. The early morning prayer consists of two units like this, whereas the two afternoon prayers and the night prayer consist of four units. The sunset prayer consists of three units.

The mosque is the place of prayer. If there is no mosque nearby at the call of prayer, you could praye wherever you want. At home, at school, at the office ....

Prayer in congregation is better in the sight of Allah than prayer alone.

If one is in the class and the section is still too long to finish, so he/she could ask for permission to go and pray.

Hope this answers your questions
