Method of Wuá¸?ĹŤ It is MustaḼab to sit on an elevated place facing the QiblaÄĽ. It is SunnaÄĽ to make the intention for Wuá¸?ĹŤ. Intention is the purpose present in the heart. Verbal intention is preferable provided that it conforms to what is in the heart. Therefore, make the intention as, ‘I am performing Wuá¸?ĹŤ in order to fulfil the commandment of Allah ‍ ďť‹ŮŽ Ů‘ŮŽďş° ŮŽŮˆ ŮŽďş&#x; َّ‏and to attain purity.’ Recite

as it is also a SunnaÄĽ,
rather say as angels will continue to write good deeds as long as one is in the state of Wuá¸?ĹŤ. Wash both hands up to the wrists, three times each, and after that do KhilÄ l (interlace the fingers of both hands to moisten the webbings and the sides) of the fingers (with the tap closed). Now perform MiswÄ k three times in the right & the left, the upper & the lower teeth; after each cycle, rinse the MiswÄ k. 8
Blessings of ᚢalÄ ÄĽ
Now rinse your mouth three times with handfuls of water using the right hand (closing the tap each time with the left), making sure that the water reaches all parts of the mouth; gargle, if you are not fasting. Now sniff water three times in to the nose up to the end of the cartilage (soft part of the nose) using three handfuls (half a handful is sufficient for this purpose) of the right hand (closing the tap each time with the left). If you are not fasting, then snuffle water up to the root (top end) of the nose. Now clean the nose with the left hand (keeping the tap closed) and insert the pinky (the smallest) finger into the nostrils. Wash the whole face three times such that water must flow on every part from the top of the forehead (the point where the hair naturally begins to grow) to the bottom of the chin and from one earlobe to the other. 9
Blessings of Ṣalāĥ
If one has a beard and he is not in the state of Iḥrām (particular state for Hajj/‘Umraĥ) then do Khilāl (with the tap turned off) of the beard by inserting the fingers into the beard from the neck and bringing them out towards the front. Now wash the right arm from the tips of the fingers up to and including the elbow three times and then wash the left arm in the same manner. It is Mustaḥab to wash up to half of the upper arm (humerus). Most people take a small amount of water in their hand and pour it over their arms towards the elbow three times. But in this method, there is risk that water would not flow over the edges of wrist and arm. Therefore, wash arms as mentioned. Now there is no need to pour a handful of water over the arms. In fact, doing this (without a valid justification) is wastage of water. Now (with the tap closed) moisten (Masḥ) the head. This should be done by joining the tips 10
Blessings of Ṣalāĥ
of the three fingers, other than the index fingers and thumbs, of both hands and placing them on the top of forehead. Move these fingers from the forehead towards the back of the neck without letting the palms touch the head. Each palm should then be placed on either side of the head and pulled across the sides; back towards the forehead. During this, the index fingers and thumbs should not touch the head at all. Now use the index fingers to moisten the insides of the ears; the thumbs to moisten the back of the ears; and insert the pinky (the smallest) finger into the openings of the ear canals (holes of ears). Now moisten the back of the neck using the back of fingers of both hands. Some people, in addition, moisten the throat, the forearms and wrists; this act is not Sunnaĥ. Make a habit of closing the tap before moistening the head. It is a sin to waste water by leaving the tap open fully or even partially. Now wash both feet three times, 11
Blessings of ᚢalÄ ÄĽ
first the right and then the left, beginning from the toes up to the top of the ankles. It is MustaḼab to wash halfway up the shin. It is SunnaÄĽ to do KhilÄ l between the fingers of both feet. The tap should be kept closed during KhilÄ l. Its MustaḼab method is to start doing KhilÄ l from little toe of the right foot to its big toe using the pinky (the smallest) finger of the left hand, and then, doing KhilÄ l from the big toe of the left foot to its little toe using the same pinky of the left hand. (Common books) Also recite this Duâ€™Ä after Wuá¸?ĹŤ (with ᚢalÄ t-‘Alan-NabÄŤ before and after it).

Blessings of Ṣalāĥ
After Wuḍū recite Kalimaĥ Shaĥādaĥ and Sūraĥ Qadr as excellences of these have been mentioned in Aḥādīš.
Four Farāiḍ of Wuḍū 1.
Washing the face.
2.
Washing both the arms including the elbows.
3.
Moistening a quarter of the head.
4.
Washing both the feet including the ankles. (Al-Fatāwā al-Ĥindiyyaĥ, pp. 3, vol. 1)
Method of Ghusl Make the following intention in heart without uttering any word with tongue: ‘I am going to take bath for acquiring purity.’ First wash both hands up to wrist three times. Wash excretory organs whether impurity is present over there or not. Now, if there is impurity on any part of body, 13
Blessings of Ṣalāĥ
remove it. Perform Wuḍū as done for Ṣalāĥ but do not wash feet. In case of performing Ghusl on some stool, wash feet as well. Now moisten the body with wet hand, especially in winter season (during this, soap may be applied). Now pour water three times over right shoulder, three times on left shoulder, on head and then three times on the whole body. Now shift apart from place of Ghusl and wash feet if not washed during Wuḍū. Do not face towards Qiblaĥ during Ghusl. During bath, rub all the body by hands. Take bath at such a place where nobody could see you. If such place is not available, a man should cover his Sitr [from navel up to (including) knees] with a thick cloth. If thick cloth is not available, two or more thin cloths can be wrapped on Sitr as thin cloth will stick with the body and colour of thighs / knees may be exposed (Allah َﻋ ّﺰ ََو َﺟ َّﻞforbid). 14
Blessings of Ṣalāĥ
A woman has to take more cautions. Neither talk during Ghusl nor recite any invocation. After bath, body may be wiped with a towel etc. Wear cloths immediately after the completion of Ghusl. If it is not a Makrūĥ time, offering two Rak’āt Ṣalāĥ is Mustaḥab. (Well known books of Ḥanafī jurisprudence)
Three Farāiḍ of Ghusl 1.

Method of Tayammum [Wiping] Make Niyyaĥ (intention) to perform Tayammum (Niyyaĥ is the name of the intention of heart and pronouncing it verbally is better. For example, make intention in these 15

Read ‍ ďş‘Ů€ Ů’ďş´  اďť&#x;Ů€ ďť Ů€ďťŞâ€Źand, with fingers spread wide open, hit hands on some pure object that is earthen in nature (e.g. stones, limestone, bricks, walls, soil etc.) and drag the hands back and forth on that object. If hands become over-dusty, reduce excessive dust by jerking hands. Wipe entire face with hands such that no part of the face is left unwiped; Tayammum will not be valid if even a part equivalent to a hair is left unwiped. Again hit hands on that object like before and wipe both arms from the fingertips up to (and including) the elbows. A better way to do this is to first wipe right hand with inner side of four fingers of the left hand, leaving the left thumb, starting from exterior side of fingertips of the right hand and dragging on exterior side up to the right elbow. Then, wipe with palm of left hand from 16
Blessings of Ṣalāĥ
interior side of right elbow up to the right wrist dragging left palm on interior side. Finally, use the inside of the left thumb to wipe the back of the right thumb. The left arm should be wiped in the same manner using right hand. (Al-Fatāwā Tātār Khāniyyaĥ, pp. 227, vol. 1) And if wiping is done with palm and fingers jointly, Tayammum will still be valid whether traversing is done from fingers towards elbow or vice versa. But this would be contrary to Sunnaĥ. Tayammum does not require wiping of head and feet. (Well known books of Ḥanafī jurisprudence)
Farāiḍ of Tayammum There are three Farāiḍ in Tayammum: 1.
Intention
2.
Wiping hands on the entire face.
3.
Wiping both arms including the elbows. (Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, pp. 353, vol. 1, part 2)

Seven Farāiḍ of Ṣalāĥ There are seven Farāiḍ in Ṣalāĥ: (1) Takbīr-ut-Taḥrīmaĥ (2) Qiyām (3) Qirā-at (4) Rukū’ (5) Sujūd (6) Qa’daĥ Ākhīraĥ (7) Khurūj-eBiṣun’iĥī. (Ghunya-tul-Mutamallī, p. 256)
Thirty Wājibāt of Ṣalāĥ ْ
ٰ
1.
اﻟـﻠـﻪ ا ﻛ Uttering Bﱪ for Takbīr-ut-Taḥrīmaĥ.
2.
Reciting Sūraĥ al-Fātiḥaĥ, a Sūraĥ, or one such Qurānic verse that is equivalent to three small ones or three small verses in every Rak’at of every Ṣalāĥ except the last two Rak’āt of Farḍ Ṣalāĥ. 35

5.
Doing Rukō’ immediately after QirÄ -at.
6.
Doing the second SajdaÄĽ after the first one (in sequence).
7.
Maintaining Ta’dÄŤl-e-ArkÄ n, i.e. staying in Rukō’, SujĹŤd, QawmaÄĽ and JalsaÄĽ for the amount of time Ů°
in which â€˜â€Ť ’ ďşł Ů’ďş’ ٰﺤ  اďť&#x;Ů€ ďť Ů€ďťŞâ€Źcan be uttered at least once. 8.
QawmaÄĽ, i.e. standing erect after Rukō’ (some people do not straighten their back after Rukō’, it is the missing of a WÄ jib).
9.
JalsaÄĽ, i.e. sitting upright between two SujĹŤd (some people do the second SajdaÄĽ before they properly sit upright after the first one missing a WÄ jib. No matter how extreme hurry is, it is mandatory to sit 36
Blessings of Ṣalāĥ
straight or else the Ṣalāĥ will become Makrūĥ Taḥrīmī and repeating such a Ṣalāĥ will be Wājib). 10. The first Qa’daĥ is Wājib even in a Nafl Ṣalāĥ. (In fact, every Qa’daĥ in two Rak’āt Nafl Ṣalāĥ is the ‘last Qa’daĥ’ and is, therefore, Farḍ; if someone did not do Qa’daĥ and stood up forgetfully and if he has not yet done Sajdaĥ of the third Rak’at, he must return and do Sajdaĥ Saĥw). (Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, pp. 712, vol. 1, part 4)
If someone has done the Sajdaĥ of the 3rd Rak’at of Nafl Ṣalāĥ, now he has to complete the fourth Rak’at and do Sajdaĥ Saĥw. Sajdaĥ Saĥw became Wājib because although Qa’daĥ is Farḍ after every two Rak’at of Nafl Ṣalāĥ, the first Qa’daĥ turned into Wājib from Farḍ because of performing the Sajdaĥ of the third or fifth Rak’at and so on. (Marāqil Falāḥ ma' Ḥāshiya-tuṭ-Ṭaḥṭāvī, p. 466)

If even one word is missed, WÄ jib will be missed and SajdaÄĽ SaÄĽw will be WÄ jib. 13. If someone forgetfully recites Ů° ‍ ďşł ďť´ ﺪ ﺎ‏YŮ° ‍ ‏ ‍ ﺝ‏o‍اďť&#x; ďť â€Ź

or
after TashaÄĽÄĽud in the first Qa’daÄĽ of Fará¸?, Witr, and Sunnat-ul-MuakkadaÄĽ, SajdaÄĽ SaÄĽw will become WÄ jib; if someone says it deliberately, repeating the ᚢalÄ ÄĽ will be WÄ jib. (Ad-Dur-rul-MukhtÄ r & Rad-dul-MuḼtÄ r, pp. 269, vol. 2)
14. Saying the word â€˜â€Ťďť&#x;ďş´ ďťź م‏ ‍ ’ا‏when turning face to the right and left side is WÄ jib each time; saying the Ů’ ‍ ’ ďť‹ ďť ďť´â€Źis not a WÄ jib, it’s a SunnaÄĽ. word â€˜â€Ťďťœ ْ‏

ٰ
اﻟـﻠـﻪ ا ﻛ Ṣalāĥ and uttering the word ‘Bﱪ ’ for it.

Doing Qirā-at with low volume in the ‘Sirrī Ṣalāĥ’ such as Ẓuĥr and ‘Aṣr. 21. Performing every Farḍ and Wājib in its prescribed order. 22. Doing Rukū’ only once in each Rak’at. 23. Doing Sajdaĥ only twice in each Rak’at. 39
Blessings of Ṣalāĥ
24. Not doing Qa’daĥ before the second Rak’at. 25. Not doing Qa’daĥ in the third Rak’at of a four Rak’at Ṣalāĥ. 26. Doing the Sajdaĥ of Tilāwaĥ in case of reciting a verse of Sajdaĥ. 27. Doing Sajdaĥ Saĥw if it has become Wājib. 28. Avoiding the pause for the amount of time in which ٰ
Tasbīḥ (i.e. ) ﺳ ْﺒ ٰﺤ ﻦ اﻟـ ﻠـﻪcan be uttered three times in between two Farāiḍ, two Wājibāt or a Farḍ and a Wājib.

The Very First Question on the Day of Judgement َﺻ The beloved and blessed Prophet اﷲ ﺗَﻌَ ٰﺎﱃ &َﻠَﻴ ْ ِﻪ َ واٰﻟ ِ ٖﻪ َ و َﺳﻠَّﻢ ُ )ّ َ said, ‘On the Day of Judgement, the very first question that will be asked to man out of his deeds will be about Ṣalāĥ; if his Ṣalāĥ is correct he will succeed but if it is incomplete, he will be disgraced and will suffer loss.’
(Al-Mu’jam-ul-Awsaṭ, pp. 32, vol. 3, Ḥadīš 3782)
Nūr for Muṣallī The Holy Prophet َﺻ َّ) اﷲُ ﺗَﻌَ ٰﺎﱃ &َﻠَﻴ ْ ِﻪ َ واٰﻟ ِ ٖﻪ َ و َﺳﻠَّﻢsaid, ‘The one who secures his Ṣalāĥ, the Ṣalāĥ will be Nūr, evidence and salvation for him on the Day of Judgement; and the one who does not protect it, there will be no Nūr, evidence or salvation for him on the Day of Judgement and such a person will be kept with Pharaoh, Qārūn, Ĥāmān and Ubay bin Khalaf on the Day of Judgement.’ (Musnad Imām Aḥmad, pp. 574, vol. 2, Ḥadīš 6587)

Whom will People be Resurrected With? Dear Islamic brothers! Sayyidunā Imām Muhammad Bin Aḥmad Żaĥabī َر ْ َﲪ ُﺔ ا ِﷲ ﺗَﻌَ ٰﺎﱃ &َﻠَﻴْﻪnarrates, ‘Some honourable ِ scholars ﲪ ُﻬ ُﻢ اﻟـﻠ ـ ُﻪ ﺗَـﻌَ ٰﺎﱃ َ َرsay that the one who abandons Ṣalāĥ will be resurrected with Pharaoh, Qārūn, Ĥāmān and Ubay Bin Khalaf on the Day of Judgement because people usually abandon their Ṣalāĥ due to wealth, rule, ministry and trade.’ The one who abandons his Ṣalāĥ due to being occupied with state affairs will be resurrected with Pharaoh. The one who abandons his Ṣalāĥ owing to his wealth will be resurrected with Qārūn. If the reason of abandoning Ṣalāĥ is ministry, he will be resurrected with Pharaoh’s minister, Ĥāmān and if the reason of abandoning Ṣalāĥ is busyness in trade, he will be resurrected with Ubay Bin Khalaf, the head trader of the unbelievers in Makka-tul-Mukarramaĥ.’ (Kitāb-ul-Kabāir, p. 21)
