Prayer is the bond of the servant with his lord.It is incumbent upon every muslim, five times daily Must be observed no matter the circumstances of the person except in case of Insanity. Prayer has significant effect in the life of the individual and well-being of the society at large.Thus, we have collective obligation to preserve it in accordance with the teachings of the prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him ) as practiced and demonstrated by our pious predecessors. The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) commanded his ummah thus:"pray as you have seen me pray" I have carefully read this treatise or summary guide on purification and prayer, compiled by brother Mustapha Bulu against the prophetic command aforementioned accordingly "


Menstrual and Post-Natal blood flows are Allah’s Decree which women experience at specific times for specific duration. And because it is a Divine Will, Allah (the Mighty & Majestic) has placed prohibitions and restrictions for women to observe during the periods of the blood flows. Concerning this matter, Allah (the Most High) said in the Holy Quran, "They ask you concerning menstruation. Say: that is an Adha (a harmful thing for a husband to have a sexual intercourse with his wife while she is having her menses) therefore keep away from women during menses and go not unto them till they have been purified (from menses and have taken a bath) ..."

Prostration for Forgetfulness is “two prostrations” that the one praying makes in order to compensate for his mistakes, occurring in the prayer, due to pforgetfulness.

This Booklet is essentially extracted from the most famous book on the Prophet’s prayer: “The Salah: The Prophet’s Prayer Described” by Imam Al-Albani (may Allah grant him mercy). The Prophet’s Prayer Described has indeed amply captured the Prophet’s prayer from Takbir to Salam; as though you have seen him pray. Thus, in this Booklet, we refer to it as the “Main Text.” It is noteworthy that in this presentation, while maintaining the content as in the “Main Text”, we have slightly modified our approach in order to highlight the significance of the constituent parts of the prayer. We believe, this is an added benefit to the reader. Accordingly, we have identified and emphasised the pillars and the obligations for the reader to be mindful of their consequences on the validity of his/her prayer, in case of deliberate omission or duplication and forgetfulness. We have also specified, at each point, the third constituent element of the prayer; the emphatic Sunnah acts. They are the actions which connect and perfect the structure of the prayer.
