HOW SHOULD ONE PERFORM TWO RAKAAT
NAMAAZACCORDING TO SUNNAH (Hanafi)
1.
BEFORE NAMAAZ
Ensure that clothes are Paak and make Wudhu. Stand respectfully on a Paak place facing
the Qibla. Keep feet parallel about four fingers apart with toes pointing towards the Qibla
and submit totally to Allah.
VERY IMPORTANT
FOR MALES
FOR FEMALES
No garment, jubba or trousers should be allowed
to overlap the ankles. It is Makrooh Tahrimi to
perform Namaaz whilst any garment is
overlapping the ankles. This means that the Farz
of Namaaz will be considered as performed but
there is very little Sawaah or benefit in such
Namaaz.
WOMEN also perform their Salaat in
the same way, except for a few
differences. WITHOUT HANDS BEING
EXPOSED WOMEN should raise their
hands to the height of their shoulders
when saying Takbeer Tahrimi.
NIYYAH
•
Make Niyyat (Intention) of whichever Namaaz one wishes to perform.
EXAMPLE
•
I am perform two Rak’aats Farz Namaaz of Fajr (to please Allah) facing towards the Qibla.
•
When performing Namaaz led by an IMAAM, one should also make intention that:
•
I am following this IMAAM.
•
It is not necessary to make a verbal intention but it is better if one makes a VERBAL
intention. NIYYAT can be made in any language: Arabic, Urdu, Gujarati, English, etc.
