Bismillah hir Rahmanir Raheem ;
Translation :
In the name of Allah the beneficent and most merciful.
4. Then Recite Surah Fatiha :
oالرَّحْمـنِ الرَّحِيمِ o الْحَمْدُ للّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
o إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ o مَـالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ
o صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنعَمتَ عَلَيهِمْ o اهدِنَــــا الصِّرَاطَ المُستَقِيمَ
o غَيرِ المَغضُوبِ عَلَيهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّينَ
Transliteration :
Alhamdo lillahe rabbil aalameen. Ar Rahmanir Raheem. Malike Yaomiddieen. Iyyaka Na` Budo wa Iyyaka Nastaeen. Ehdinas Siratal Mustaqeem. Siratal Lazeena un amta Alaihim, Ghairil Maghdoobe Alaihim Walad Dualleen.
Translation :
Praise is only for Allah, Lord of the universe.The most kind, the most Merciful. The Master of the day of Judgment. You alone we worship and to You alone we pray for help. Show us a straight path, The way of those whom You have blessed. Nor of those who earned Your anger, nor of those who went astray.
Say Ameen
It is very important to know that Surah Fatiha has three segments :
a. First three Ayats are recited by us to praise the Al-Mighty
b. The fourth Ayat is a strong commitment by us that we pray only to Allah and seek help from the Al Mighty alone.
c. The last three Ayats are recited by us to seek Allah's blessings and favours.
Surah Fatiha begins with the hamd of Allah ;
“ His Prais. None but Allah has the right to be praised. He alone is the Lord of the worlds. He alone is the Rabb, Who provides sustainance and innumerable blessings to His believers ”.
“ He alone is beneficent and ever merciful ”.
“ He alone is the Lord of the day of the judgment, has the power of sovereignty and no one has the courage to open his mouth before Him. Therefore no injustice will be done on the final day of judgment ”.
After Allah’s praise the next Ayat confirms the duty on all the believers ;
“ His creation must worship Him alone and turn towards Him for all kind of help “
This commands everyone to stay away from including any other with Allah means clearly to avoid Shirk. One must dedicate his or her act of worship like salah, Roza, Hajj and Zakat for Allah only. Furthermore it tells us to seek guidance and help only from Him.
The last ayats tells us to make dua and request Allah
“ He should show us right path, the path of the righteous people and pious servants of Allah and of those who were misguided and had to face His wrath “.
Surah No. 15, Al Hijr, Ayat No. 87
o وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَاكَ سَبْعًا مِّنَ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنَ الْعَظِيمَ
Translation :
And indeed, We have gifted you seven repeatedly recited verses (Surah Fatiha) and also given the Mighty Quran
Comments :
Everyone of us is fully aware that Surah Fatiha is being recited millions of times in daily salaats all over the world by millions of believers. This proves the authenticity of the above revelation.
This is important that a person should memorise atleast ten to fifteen small surahs which will help him to recite rakats of different salats conveniently .
6. Then Add a Surah or one large ayat or three small ayats after surah Fatiha.
oقُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ
لَا أَعْبُدُ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ
o وَلَا أَنتُمْ عَابِدُونَ مَا أَعْبُدُ
o وَلَا أَنَا عَابِدٌ مَّا عَبَدتُّمْ
oوَلَا أَنتُمْ عَابِدُونَ مَا أَعْبُدُ
o لَكُمْ دِينُكُمْ وَلِيَ دِينِ

Translation :
Say : O you that reject Faith ! I do not worship that which you worship, Nor you will worship that which I worship. And I will not worship which you have worshipped, Nor you will worship that which I worship.To you be your Way, and to me mine.
7. Say Allah-o-Akbar, and bow down. This position is called 'Ruku' then recite tasbih (three times)
سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمُ
Transliteration :

10. Say Allah-o-Akbar and rise from the 'Sijda' then sit in straight position for a while and prostrate again and repeat the same tasbih.
11. Say Allaho Akbar and go back in Qiyam.
This completes one 'Rakat.
12. The position of 'Qiyam' is assumed once again to begin the second Rakat, and the following prayers are recited:
13. Recite 'Al Fateha' as cited above
14. Add other sura of Holy Quran e.g.
o لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ o اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ o قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
o وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًاأَحَدٌ

He has no children , And He was not born of anyone.
There is no one equal to Him.
15. Then all the actions must be repeated up to second sijdah.
Then say Allaho Akbar and go into a sitting position instead of Qiyam.
16. Then Recite Tashahhud ( Attahiyyato ------)**
Transliteration :
التَّحِيّـاتُ للهِ وَالصَّلَـواتُ والطَّيِّـبات ، السَّلامُ عَلَيـكَ أَيُّهـا النَّبِـيُّ وَرَحْمَـةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكـاتُه ، السَّلامُ عَلَيْـنا وَعَلـى عِبـادِ كَ الصَّـالِحـين. أَشْـهَدُ أَنْ لا إِلـهَ إِلاّ الله ، وَأَشْـهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمّـداً عَبْـدُهُ وَرَسـولُه

I bear witness that no one is worthy of worship except Allah and I bear witness that Mohammad is His slave and Messenger.
**During recitation of Tashahhud, when we reach "Ash hado alla elaha illal lah" one should raise the right index finger to indicate that there is only one Allah.
17. Then Recite Salat Alan-nabi ( Darood Sharif)
Darood Shareef
اَلَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى ُمحَمَّدِ ُّوعَلَى اَلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى اِبْرَاهِيْمَ وَعَلَى

Transliteration :
Assalam alaikum wa` Rahmatullah .
Translation :
Peace be on you and Allah's Mercy
Then turn the face to the left and say the same again.
This completes a two-rakat prayer.
In order to perform a Three Rakat Namaz all the postures and the prayers are the same upto second Rakat. After reciting Atta-hiyyat, say Allaho Akbar and go into Qiyam position.
When you offer Three Rakat Farz of Maghrib, in the third rakat in Qiyam recite only surah Fatiha and go in the Ruku and complete the rakat as per the procedure
In case a person is reciting four rakat Farz then he should complete last two rakaats and no surah should be added after surah fatiha. If he is reciting sunnat then he must add surah in every rakaat
Witr Salat
When the witr Salat (Namaz) is recited , then in third rakat after reciting surah Fatiha and a surah, raise both hands upto the ears (palms facing the Qiblah) say "Allah-o-Akbar" and hold the left hand with the right hand on top. Then recite Dua-e- Qunoot
اَللَّهُمَّ إنا نَسْتَعِينُكَ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَنُؤْمِنُ بِكَ وَنَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْكَ وَنُثْنِئْ عَلَيْكَ الخَيْرَ وَنَشْكُرُكَ وَلَا نَكْفُرُكَ وَنَخْلَعُ وَنَتْرُكُ مَنْ ئَّفْجُرُكَ اَللَّهُمَّ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَلَكَ نُصَلِّئ وَنَسْجُدُ وَإِلَيْكَ نَسْعأئ وَنَحْفِدُ وَنَرْجُو رَحْمَتَكَ وَنَخْشآئ عَذَابَكَ إِنَّ عَذَابَكَ بِالكُفَّارِ مُلْحَقٌ
Transliteration :
Allah humma inna nastaeenoka, wa nastagh feroka, wa no`meno beka, wa nata wakkalo alaika, wa nusni alaikal khair. Wa nash koroka walaa nak foroka, wa nakhlao wa natroko, maiye yaf jorok, Allah humma iyyaka na`budo, wa laka nusalli, wa nasjudo wa illaika nas`aa, wa nah fidu wa narju, rah mataka, wa nakhsha azabaka, inna azabaka, bil kuffaare mulhiq.
Translation:
O Allah! We seek Your help; ask your forgiveness and have faith in You and have Trust in You. We praise You for all the good things. We are grateful to You and not ungrateful to You. We break off with all those who are disobedient to you. O Allah! We worship you alone and pray exclusively to You and bow before You alone and we rush eagerly towards You .And we fear Your severe punishment and hope for Your Mercy as your severe punishment is surely for the unbelievers.
Then the rakat should be completed as per the above proceedure.
Please remember, If one misses any Farz in any salat, the salat will be invalid. In that case the same salat has to be performed again. If a Wajib is missed unintentionally, one can make Sijdah Sahv to make up for it.
Sijdah Sahv
After completing tashahhud in the final sitting position turn face only to the right with salam and then saying takbeer, Allaho Akbar and perform two sajdeh, one after the other, peacefully. After the second sajdah, one has to repeat tashahhud, durood, etc and complete the prayer in usual way.
Hadis :
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet prayed two Rakat of Zuhr prayer (instead of four) and he was told that he had prayed two Rakat only. Then he prayed two more Rakat and finished them with the Taslim followed by two prostrations.
Volume 1, Book 11, Number 683: Sahi Bukhari
Qasar Namaz
Surah No. 4 ,Al-Nisa Ayat No.101
وَإِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَن تَقْصُرُواْ مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ إِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَن يَفْتِنَكُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ إِنَّ الْكَافِرِينَ كَانُواْ لَكُمْ عَدُوًّا مُّبِينًا
When you travel on earth or if you have fear of non believers, who may upset you, it is no offence if you curtail your prayers.”
Comments :
Ahadis ( Plural of Hadis)
1. It is referred in one of the Hadis :” While travelling or if you have fear of an enemy you recite only two rakats of Farz ( Fard ) Salat of Zohar,Asr and Isha Instead of four rakats.It is not mandatory to recite sunnat salats except sunnat of Fajar and witr of Isha in the above situation .” [ Ref : Tashrihul Quran by Mufassir Maulana Abdul KarimParekh Saheb ]
2. Narrated Ibn Abbas :
The Prophet once stayed for nineteen days and prayed shortened prayers. So when we travel led (and stayed) for nineteen days, we used to shorten the prayer but if we travelled (and stayed) for a longer period we used to offer the full prayer.
Volume 2, Book 20, Number 186: Sahi Bukhari Sharif
3. The question was submitted on 5/10/2009 has been answered by the IslamiCity Imam.
Question:
Imam Saheb Aakm. When we travel and stay at a place for 15 days or less, can we shorten our Zohr,Asr and Isha Farz salah for the whole period. If yes, then shall we recite sunnah or shall we leave them. If we have time can we recite the salah in normal way without shortenning the Zohr,Asr and Isha Farz salah. Please reply.
Answer:
Bismillahir-RaHmanir-RaHeem.
If one is going to his own home town then he can not shorten the prayer no matter how long he is staying there.
If he is going away from his own home town then he has to shorten the prayer if he intends to stay less than fifteen days.
If you are praying behind an Imam in a local Masjid then you have to pray complete Salah without shortening.
If you are praying alone then you have to shorten the Salah. Sunnah prayers are exempted while travelling.
If one wants to pray Sunnah prayer then he/she has to pray them in full and should not shorten the Sunnah Prayer. Shaikh Sayed Sabiq states in Fiqhus Sunnah, 036 : 2.112 When the traveller is to pray the complete salah:
In Sahih al-Bukhari, it is recorded that Ibn 'Abbas said: "The Prophet stayed, during some of his journeys, for nineteen day and he prayed only two rak'at. If we stayed in a place for nineteen days, we would not pray the complete salah. However, if we stayed longer than that, we would perform the whole salah.
" Ahmad states that ibn 'Abbas was referring to the Prophet's stay in Makkah at the time of its conquest when he said: "The Messenger of Allah stayed in Makkah for eighteen days during the time of the conquest as he had to go to Hunain and was not planning to stay there." This is his interpretation of Ibn 'Abbas' statement. Others say that Ibn 'Abbas was referring to the Prophet's stay in Tabuk as Jabir ibn 'Abdullah said: "The Messenger of Allah stayed in Tabuk for twenty days and performed qasr salah."
Imam Ahmad related this in his Musnad. Al-Miswar ibn Makhramah reports: "We stayed with Sa'd in some of the cities of ash-Sham [Syria] for forty days, and Sa'd would perform qasr while we would offer the whole salah.
" Naf'i relates: "Ibn 'Umar was in Azerbaijan for six months, as there was snow blocking the pass, and he would pray two rak'at.
" Hafs ibn 'Ubaidullah says: "Anas ibn Malik stayed in ash-Sham for two years and he prayed the salah of a traveller." Anas relates:
"The companions of the Prophet stayed in Ram Hurmuz for seven months and they shortened their salah.
" Al-Hassan reports: "I stayed with 'Abdurrahman ibn Samurah for two years in Kabul, and he shortened his salah but he did not combine the salah.
" Ibrahim says: "We resided in Rai for a year or more and in Sijistan for two years... [and we prayed qasr].
This is the guidance of the Prophet and his companions, and this is the correct position. Imam Malik, ash-Shaf'i and Ahmad say: "If one intends to stay for more than four days, he should perform the whole salah, and if he intends to stay for less than that, he is to offer qasr.
" Abu Hanifah holds: "If one intends to stay for fifteen days, he should not do the qasr. If he intends to stay for less than that, he should shorten the salah." This is also the opinion of al-Laith ibn Sa'd, and it has also been related from three companions: 'Umar, ibn 'Umar, and Ibn 'Abbas. The four imams agree that if one has some need to take care of and always has the intention of leaving the next day, then he may shorten his salah for as long as he is in that state.
However, according to one statement of ash-Shaf'i, he may do so only for seventeen or eighteen days and he is not to shorten his salah after that time.
Ibn al-Munzhir states in his Ishraf: "The people of knowledge are in agreement that a traveller may perform qasr as long as he does not intend to stay in a place, even though he stays there for years." May Allah guide us all to the straight path! Wassalam and ALLAH knows best.
Thank you

4. Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
"I saw Allah's Apostle delaying the Maghrib prayer till he offered it along with the 'Isha' prayer whenever he was in a hurry during the journey." Salim narrated, "Ibn 'Umar used to do the same whenever he was in a hurry during the journey." And Salim added, "Ibn 'Umar used to pray the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers together in Al-Muzdalifa." Salim said, "Ibn 'Umar delayed the Maghrib prayer because at that time he heard the news of the death of his wife Safiya bint Abi 'Ubaid. I said to him, 'The prayer (is due).' He said, 'Go on.' Again I said, 'The prayer (is due).' He said, 'Go on,' till we covered two or three miles. Then he got down, prayed and said, 'I saw the Prophet praying in this way, whenever he was in a hurry during the journey.' 'Abdullah (bin 'Umar) added, "Whenever the Prophet was in a hurry, he used to delay the Maghrib prayer and then offer three Rakat (of the Maghrib) and perform Taslim, and after waiting for a short while, Iqama used to be pronounced for the 'Isha' prayer when he would offer two Rakat and perform Taslim. He would never offer any optional prayer till the middle of the night (when he used to pray the Tahajjud)."
(Volume 2, Book 20, Number 197: Sahi Bukhari Sharif )
Skipping the Salat (Qaza Namaz)
Ahadis :
1. Hazrat Anas (ra) had narrated that the Prophet (saws) has said that if a person forgets to recite any salat, he should recite the same afterwards.
( Bukhari ,Muslim )
2. Hazrat Abu Huraira (ra) had narrated that the prophet (saws) has said that if a person slept and misses a particular salat, it will be no sin. But the sin is, if he skips salat when he is awake. When a person forgets to recite the salat or if skips while sleeping then he should recite the same afterwards.
( Tirmizi, abu Daud )
3. Narrated Mu'adha:
A woman asked 'Aisha, "Should I offer the prayers that which I did not offer because of menses" 'Aisha said, "Are you from the Huraura' (a town in Iraq?) We were with the Prophet and used to get our periods but he never ordered us to offer them (the Prayers missed during menses)." 'Aisha perhaps said, "We did not offer them."
