Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – How to Perform Salat (Prayer)

Bismillah your man, you're walking. Um

so the first thing is when we start our prayer,

we

it's about facing the Qibla.

And we start like this.

So the finger, thumb is outstretched. So

it does require a bit of stretching. So it's actually good

for you anyway.

So it's like, well like this, like this, but like,

tell me if I'm wrong. So it's not like disabled. So it's like this.

Straight from there, you tell you.

There's none of this.

Because you see people doing all of these strange things. They do

all sorts of strange things, you know?

You like sloppy,

sloppy stuff.

So, right from there. And the other thing is, a lot of

not a lot. Lots of people do that, they'll actually go like this, and

then Allah,

it needs to be set together.

Because the movement of the hand are secondary to the Allahu Akbar,

Allah is really what matters. That's what puts you into the

salon. So it's

not the way you the way you put your hands together is like this

easiest way. It's just so natural, just so natural like this, like,

do you see some people that like this?

You know, all sorts of things. Now, look, if somebody's following

a different Muslim, and they're holding it there, or they're

holding it as a different story, they don't be sloppy about it.

They're just following a particular opinion. But I'm

talking about, you know, just kind of

it's really weird, isn't it? So you hold the property, you strict,

you hold it like that.

And having a watch shouldn't really matter. If it doesn't just

take it

in, keep the glasses on, it's not a problem. When you're praying.

closing the eyes is not a good idea during prayer unless you just

can't concentrate we will deal with that. Now, once you once

you've done that, then you recite your panic alarm. We're talking

about postures right now. So then we're going to do now we're going

to report is,

again standing ways you can stand in any way that is comfortable for

you, as long as it's not unreasonable as long as it's not

like really close because that you could fall or it's too wide or

whatever you can stand comfortably.

I mean, generally, when you're standing, Your toes should be

facing the people as well. So you shouldn't stand like this, where

you know, your legs upturned, or intim. It's just a natural stance

that you're doing, you know. So that's a good point you face that

people learn that even when you're facing, you know, when you're

standing up. So everything's facing them fibula, when you go

into ruku, I'm going to do it this way. Because it's, you'll be able

to see it better than, you know, let me know because we're trying

to get the perfect right angle. Right, the perfect stretch,

because

you'll get the perfect such that. Again, from here, you just go

directly into such that you grip the knees moving as you could

please keep the legs totally straight, grip the knees, keep

your hands straight. If you keep the hand straight like this,

automatically, your battery's gonna tell me if i My back is

straight or not.

Sometimes it's a bit like that. I mean, you could push it down a bit

like that. I don't know if I'm straight or not.

I mean, some of you, I've seen some people like this.

Right? So you need to keep it straight. And you're looking at

you're looking at your toes. So if you do it like this, if you go

like this, some people will do this. Some people will, you know

that people do all sorts of things. But the main thing is that

if you're gripping your knees, and your back is totally straight, and

you're in your head is sufficiently down and not to walk,

then it's fine.

Right? So let me unlock when you want to hurry.

Right? You can see a little hand drop down a wallet will handle a

lot more than adequate hand alone more than a welder can handle. But

make sure it's like send me alone even Hamidah

then I'm gonna record

and then you go down. So now when you go down, it's

it's your right here.

Do you touch your knees? Do you support yourself? You can. But

according to one scholar who has done a lot of who's who's done a

lot of research on this, he says that when you're coming back up,

there's a hadith which says use your knees is that you know we

rock up, but not when you're going down. So his opinion was that you

just go down straight like this without touching him. Of course if

you've got weakness problem, you can touch them. There's nothing

wrong with it. But what you should avoid is making another recall

when you're going down a free recall on the way you

All right, you're just done. You're right. And you're like,

it's like you've done a record, you're going back into another

record. So don't do that, go straight down from here, just keep

your hands down straight, and just go down like this. It's good for

you, your your your knees is good for your knees. So you go down

like that straight, you go down to your knees first, then put your

palms down, and then put your, your head down, and your nose

down. Right. So essentially,

it's going to be straightened out like this, like that.

So you are in between, you are in between your fingers.

Like this, keep it out. Unless you're sitting next to people in a

row, then don't put your hands up that way for them.

You don't want them like like this, you don't want to fly.

But if you're praying separately, you've got the space and keep it

out like that this is the way the process allows us to do it. You

could allow something small to go in between a little kid, for

example, see, it's like this.

But if you're with people just keep it like that. And if you're

really tired, you can put it on your knees if you need

to do a very long session or very short session. For women, they do

it really the contract together. Now, if you're in this male

posture of decision, all right.

The other day, I mentioned that if you fall asleep in that your solid

doesn't break.

Reason is that you're not really fully sleeping, because if you

started falling asleep, you'd topple over. But they, they say

that if you sleep like a woman does have such that, then you

still have will break.

So when you've done your search,

then Allahu Akbar, and you sit down, all the way to sit down,

look at this very carefully look at the way the way the toes are.

And that's very important.

The way that

firstly, in your such as a way the feet need to be is like this.

Not like this. And all these other ways that people do it said that

there's a central gravity problem that some people have, when the

feet go up. Right, that's totally wrong as well. So keep it on the

leg, when you sit down. This is a bit difficult if you don't want to

do this, but like this,

which means everything is facing the pendulum.

Right, everything is facing the Qibla your toes, the right toes

are facing the Qibla. Even the left toes are facing the cupola

because they're like, they're bent towards the Qibla. As you can see,

that doesn't require some getting used to. Right, because you can't

it's not everybody sort of flexible. But you can eventually

you should be able to do it unless you're very old. Right? So that is

the that is what we're aiming for. When you go back down and you just

lift your feet

not coming back up.

You come back up like this near you, you hold a nice

put your hands together. So that's that's the way you do that.

Now there is a, there is another theme, which I didn't mention

earlier. But it's a narration which Harvey says that he saw a

sort of loss of almost putting the two

heels together. Now, that is an opinion that is encouraged by

relevant because it's mentioned that you put the heels together.

Right? So there are both these opinions, you could keep them

together based on that narration or you can you can keep it

separately. Right? That's only a session that's only when the

frustration

then when you're sitting down

again you have to move to the city opposition that's the difficult

one is keep it down and then if you need to stand up from the

second record, then you just stand up straight like that. Just try

not to do too many too much bending and then

the salon you know that the shareholders see you like this

then a shadow and

so these two come in sugar Allah Allah He can either put it fully

down, keep it off slightly, and then sit on why
