As a muslim, the ultimate aim of the creation of man is solely to obtain Allah’s pleasure. In order to achieve that, we must do ibadah or worship practices such as prayer or salah. So, the topic of this week’s usrah is about the preparation of salah, with khushu’.

1. Conditions for the Acceptance of Prayer:

To ensure our prayers were accepted, we need to know if the period of salah is correct. It is indicated by the calling of prayer (adhan) and we should perform our prayer when it is time to do so. Also, Muslims must be clean from any impurifications, whether it is minor or major. This can be handled through ablution or mandatory bath (janabah). The place, our body and clothes also need to be clean from any physical dirts. The clothes must cover our aurah and we must perform the prayers with directing to the kiblah.

2. Pillars of Prayer:

There are 13 pillars of salah that need to be completed, in order to obtain an acceptable prayer. It is further divided into 3 types, which is based on the actions (fi’li), sayings (qawli), and intention (niah). Even if only one from the 13 actions was missing, the prayer need to be done again until perfection are obtained.

As an example, prayer or salah is not complete only based on intention. It needs to be followed with the amal of a Muslim, based on actions, words or etc. Furthermore, we need to reflect on the positive virtues or Ihsan that been inculcated through the ibadah.
