All praise be to Allah alone, and may His peace and blessings be upon His messenger and bondsman our Prophet Mohammed, his family and his companions.
The objective of this concise pamphlet is to explain how prophet Mohammed (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to perform his prayers. This Application presents the explanation to every male and female Muslim so that they may strive to take up the Prophet's manner in performing their prayers as a model for them. It was narrated by Al-Bukhari that Prophet Mohammed (Peace and blessings of Allah be on him) had said:
Perform your prayers in the same manner you had seen me doing.
Therefore, here is the explanation for the Prophet's manner of prayer:
1. To perform completely the ablution, adopting the method commanded by Allah in the Quran:
O ye who believe, when ye prepare for prayer, wash your faces and your hands (and arms) to the elbows, rub your heads(with water) and (wash) your feet to the ankles.(S:6)
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) said:
Prayer without ablution is invalid.
