ETIQUETTES OF SALAAH i.e. Namaz Prayer (MALES AND FEMALES)

 

The gaze should be fixed on the place of Sajdah during Qiyaam, on the feet during Ruku, on the nose during Sajdah, on the lap during Qa’dah and on the shoulders during Salaam. When one has an urge to yawn during Salaah, he should stifle it as much as possible. When one has an urge to cough during Salaah one should try as much as possible to suppress it.

(Extracted from A’ina‐e‐Namaz written by Mufti Sa’eed Ahmad Sahib, (Rahmatulla hi alaih) the Mufti‐e‐ A’zam
(grand Mufti) of Mazaahirul‐uloom.

1. After every Fardh Salaah recite one of the following Duas. After Salaam it is sunnah to recite Astagfirullah thrice. Thereafter recite:

Allahumma antas salam waminkas salamu tabaarakta ya zal jalali walikram (Hisne Haseen, FathulQadeer‐ Vol. 1, pg.439)

O Allah, You are the possessor of peace, peace can only be attained from you. You are full of blessings, O The powerful, The Most Kind.

Note: With regard to the words:

Elaika yarjius salamu faha’ina rabbana bissalami waadqilna daaraka daras salami fala asla lahu

Mulla Ali Qari (Rahmatulla hi alaih) writes in Mirqaat [Vol. 2, pg.358] that there is no substantiation for these words in the ahaadith; they are merely an addition by some story‐tellers.

2. La ila ha illalhu wahadahu la sharika lahu lahul mulku walahul hamdu wahuwa ala kulli shayin qadeer (Hisne Haseen)

3. Allahumma inni aouzubika minal jubni waouzubika min an urada ilaa arzalil oumuri waouzubika min fitnatit dunya waouzubika min azabil qabr

O Allah, I seek your protection from cowardice, from becoming senile, from the trials of this world and from the punishment of the grave.
