SUNNATS IN PRAYER (NAMAAZ, SALAT)
Q. What is meant by SUNNAT in PRAYER (NAMAAZ, SALAT) ?
A. Things which have been proven to be done in Prayer (Namaaz, Salat) by the holy
Prophet (Peace be upon him) but not so much stress has been laid upon them as is laid
upon things FARZ and WAJIB are known as SUNNAT. If any of these are missed
unknowingly, neither does it invalidate the Prayer (Namaaz, Salat) nor does Sajdah
Sahw become necessary. If these are left knowingly, the Prayer (Namaaz, Salat) is
valid and there is no need for Sajdah Sahw. However, such a person is condemned.
There are 21 Sunnats in Prayer (Namaaz, Salat)
1.
To raise the hands up to the EARS before saying TAKBEERE TAHREEMA.
2.
While raising the hands for Takbeer, keep the fingers of both the hands RAISED and
facing the QIBLAH.
3.
Not to BEND the HEAD when saying Takbeer.
