Qiyaam
prayer movements
Ruku
Ruku means bowing. During ruku, Muslims says
'glory be to God, the Most Great', three times.
Sajdah or Sujud
Sajdah or Sujud means to prostrate. While in the prostration
position 'Glory be to God, the Most High' is repeated three times.
Palms, knees, toes, forehead and nose must be the only body parts
touching the ground.
Tashahhud
After saying God is Great, Muslims return to the
sitting position. They recite a set number of short
prayers in Arabic, praising God, and sending peace
on the Prophet. They repeat the declaration of faith,
raising the forefinger of their right hand, in order to
act as a witness.
Praying
in the mosque
Muslims can pray anywhere, but it is
especially good to pray with others in
a mosque.
Praying together in a congregation
helps Muslims to realize that all
humanity is one, and all are equal in
the sight of Allah.
Salah in the Mosque with Jamaa
(group) is rewarded 27 times more
than praying alone at home or
elsewhere.
