Pray As You Have Seen Me Pray2

Alhamdolillah, here it is! Part 2 of the presentation on salat, prayer, in Islam. If you missed it, you can find part 1 in the links at the left. Or use the search feature at the top of the page.

I pray that in sha Allah, we will all be guided by Almighty Allah, subhanahu wata ala, to the straight path. If you have questions about what you have seen here, feel free to ask questions. Usually the best place to ask questions is your local masjid or mosque.

You can find your local masjid by looking in your local White Pages or by searching on-line using resources like "prayinjamat.com," see the link in the right hand column.

Here's the Google Video description for this presentation (though the description applies to both halves of the video, and this half picks up in "Prayer").

"Pray As You Have Seen Me Pray is a documentary style educational film that teaches you the basics of prayer. It contains the following:

"The Night Journey (Isra' wal-Mi'raj) The story of the Miraculous Night Journey in which the prayer was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) from Allah (swt).

"General Hygiene (Taharah) Muhammad (pbuh) said that cleanliness is one half of faith.

"The Ablution (Wudu) A prerequisite of prayer is washing the parts of the body as ordered by Allah (swt) and taught by the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

"Dry Ablution (Tayammum) If water is not available then one may perform a dry ablution.

"Bathing (Ghusl) Bathing is required in the manner taught by Muhammad (pbuh) in certain circumstances.

"The Prayer (As-Salah) All one needs to know about the prayer including: The importance of prayer, leaving the prayer, prerequisites of prayer, a detailed two units (Rak'at) of prayer, a step by step guide to performing three & four units of prayer and general points about Prayer.

"Medical Benefits of Prayer & Ablution The medical world is continuously finding amazing benefits from performing prayer and ablution - Praise be to Allah (swt) the Creator of all that exists."
