Know about Salah
Salat (The five daily prayers) :
Salat is the ritual prayer performed five times a day: Fajr (dawn), Dhuhr (midday), Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (sunset) and Isha (night). Muslims face the Kaaba in Mecca, go through a set sequence of standing, bowing, prostrating and sitting, reciting verses from the Qur’an and praising Allah. It’s meant to keep the believer’s connection with God alive throughout the day, remind them of purpose, and foster discipline and mindfulness.
Below are some key Quranic verses on Salah (Prayer) in Arabic:
Surah Al-'Ankabut 29:45:
"اتْلُ مَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ ۖ إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ تَنْهَىٰ عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنْكَرِ ۗ وَلَذِكْرُ اللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ"
(Recite what has been revealed to you of the Book, and establish prayer. Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of Allah is greater).
Surah An-Nisa 4:103:
"فَإِذَا قَضَيۡتُمُ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ فَٱذۡكُرُواْ ٱللَّهَ قِيَٰمٗا وَقُعُودٗا وَعَلَىٰ جُنُوبِكُمۡۚ فَإِذَا ٱطۡمَأۡنَنتُمۡ فَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَۚ إِنَّ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ كَانَتۡ عَلَى ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ كِتَٰبٗا مَّوۡقُوتًا"
(And when you have finished the prayer, remember Allah, standing, sitting, or lying on your sides. But when you are secure, establish prayer. Indeed, prayer is a duty on the believers at appointed times).
Surah Al-Baqarah 2:45:
"وَٱسۡتَعِينُواْ بِٱلصَّبۡرِ وَٱلصَّلَوٰةِۚ وَإِنَّهَا لَكَبِيرَةٌ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱلۡخَٰشِعِينَ"
(And seek help through patience and Prayer, and indeed, it is difficult except for the humbly submissive).
Surah Al-Baqarah 2:153:
"يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ"
(O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient).
Surah Al-An'am 6:162:
"قُلۡ إِنَّ صَلَاتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحۡيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ"
(Say, "Surely my prayer, my sacrifice, my life, and my death are all for Allah—Lord of all worlds ").
