Step-by-Step Prayer Guide For Muslim Women

Bismi Llahir Rahmanir Rahim

by Naielah Ackbarali

Allah Most High says: “Successful indeed are the believers: those who humble themselves in prayer.” [Surat al-Mu’minun, v. 1-2]

The word humble (khushu’) means to bring about a state of perfect concentration, such that one’s focus is only on remembering Allah Most High alone.

For the believing woman, she approaches the prayer with a heart that is alive and filled with love for her Lord. Deep down, she longs for a strong connection with her Creator, and a way to be with Him continuously.

The prayer is her purpose, her salvation, her hope, and her comfort in this world. It is special and sacred to her. Thus, she strives to perfect it and perform it to the best of her ability.

This step-by-step guide was created to help Muslim sisters learn how to perform the actions of the prayer in a correct manner, and in a way that is pleasing to their Lord inshaAllah. It is based on the rulings of the Hanafi madhhab.

 

Before Beginning the Prayer:

• Remove any actual filth from one’s clothes, body and place of prayer, especially if it exceeds the excused amount. Actual filth consists of blood, vomit, pus, human feces or urine, wine/alcohol and so forth. The excusable amount is equal to 5 cm in diameter for liquid filth and 5 grams in weight for solid filth.
• Perform the ritual ablution (wudu). For a step-by-step guide for ablution, click HERE.
• Ensure that one’s body is covered properly and one is not wearing sheer clothing that exposes the hair or the color of the skin. A woman must cover her entire body except for the face, hands, and feet in the prayer. However, it is superior to cover the feet due to the difference of opinion amongst the scholars.
• Ensure that the relevant prayer time has entered, whether it be Fajr, Zhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, or Isha.
• Face the qibla.
• Make the intention for the specific prayer that one is praying. One must intend either Fajr, Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha or Witr for the obligatory and necessary prayers. For the sunna or nafl, one can intend to perform a sunna prayer without specifying which sunna it is. If one is praying behind an imam, then one must also intend to follow the imam for a group prayer.
• Regardless of the type of prayer, one does not need to intend the amount of cycles (raka’at).
