About This Book:
Prof. Abdul Rehman Tahir's book Understand Your Prayers offers a thorough analysis of the salat or Islamic prayer routine. A thorough and educational guide to salat has been prepared by Tahir, a professor of Islamic studies at the University of Karachi in Pakistan, and it covers everything from the physical movements of the prayer to the spiritual importance of the words and gestures involved. The history of salat is briefly reviewed at the start of the book, showing how it changed from the time of the Prophet Muhammad to the present. The numerous varieties of salat, including the five daily prayers, the Friday prayer, and the burial prayer, are then covered by Tahir. He also discusses salat's guidelines and requirements, including the necessary health and mental conditions, prayer times, and manners. As- Salat is one of the most important pillars of Islam. It is the obligation which will be questioned on the Day of Judgment first of all; it is a gift of Allah to His messenger (PBUH), and His followers. It is very necessary to understand the meanings of that which we recite during As- Salat or which is about As- Salat, Adhan, invocations for entering and leaving the mosques, for ablution, for Qunut in witer prayer, for the dead on funeral prayer along with some selected Surah’s of the Holy Quran. Transliterations of the Arabic text will help in correct pronunciation because a minor mistake is pronounciation of Arabic text can change its meanings. Different colors in translation will make it easy to locate, understand and memorize the meanings. This is certainly bound to attract the young reader’s attention. Stimulate them as well as educate them.
