HARUN YAHYA (ADNAN OKTAR)

A believer who wishes to perform the obligation of the
prayer in a proper manner must take precautions against
anything that might prevent that state of the heart and try to

establish the requisite attention and concentration.
Allah tells us that when we stand in His Presence we
must remember Him alone, praise Him and express His
Oneness, as the One Who is unfettered by any deficiency.
Performing the prayer in the proper manner is a great
opportunity for doing all these things. Indeed, in one verse

Allah states the prayer is to be performed in remembrance of
Him:
I am Allah. There is no deity but Me, so worship Me
and perform prayer to remember Me. (Surah Ta Ha: 14)

The Fardhs of the Prayer

A- There are seven preconditions of the prayer. These are
also known as the conditions of the prayer.
◆ Taharat from hadas (purification from the state of being
without ablution)
◆ Taharat from najasat (purification from substances
which are prescribed as dirty in Islam)

◆ Satr al-awrat (covering the bodily parts that need to be
covered)
◆ Istiqbal al-qibla (facing the qibla)
◆ Waqt (prescribed time)
◆ Niyyat (intention)
