Four rak'ahs of the fard of midday prayer

Fard prayer is practically no different from Sunnah prayer. The difference is that in the 3rd and 4th rakah after the surah al-Fatiha, a short surah or ayah is not read, and the imam must also read the takbirs and some dhikrs aloud.

First rak'ah

Standing, make the intention (niyat) to perform prayer: "I intend for the sake of Allah to perform 4 rak'ahs of the fard of the midday (Zuhr or Oila) prayer". (fig. 1) Raise both hands, spreading your fingers, palms towards the Qibla, to the level of your ears, touching your earlobes with your thumbs (women raise their hands at chest level) and say "Allahu Akbar"(the imam says aloud), then place the right hand with the palm on the left hand, clasping the left wrist with the little finger and thumb of the right hand, and lower the hands folded in this way just below the navel (women put their hands at chest level).

We continue the story of prayer for beginners. In this article, with the permission of Allah, we will talk about how to perform namaz for a beginner, which violates namaz and answer common questions about namaz

Each prayer consists of a certain amount rak'ats- a set of actions that include reading certain surahs of the Qur'an while standing, making one bow from the waist (ruku) and two bows to the earth (sajda).

morning prayer ( fajr) consists of two rak'ahs,

lunch ( zuhr) - from four,

afternoon ( asr) also from four,

evening prayer maghrib- from three,

and night prayer isha- from four.

However, in addition to the obligatory part (fard), each prayer includes a certain number of desirable prayers (sunnat), which are not obligatory, however, a reward is also promised for their fulfillment. Beginners, of course, should first accustom themselves to regularly performing the obligatory part of the five prayers, but then they should try to perform Sunnat prayers, in addition to the main ones.

Also, scientists of the Hanafi madhhab consider it obligatory ( wajib) performing namaz vitre, consisting of three rak'ahs which is performed after the night prayer of Isha.

After you have performed ablution and closed the ‘awrah, stand on a prayer rug (if you don’t have one yet, you can use a clean towel or sheet for this purpose), facing the qibla, and express your intention in your heart ( niyat) to pray. During the intention, you need to name the prayer that you are going to perform (mandatory or desirable and its name is fajr, zuhr, asr).

Intention is pronounced mentally, in the following words: “I intend to perform for the sake of Allah the fard (obligatory part) of this morning(For example) fajr prayer(or name the prayer you are going to perform).

Note: the intention to perform prayer must be pronounced mentally, but the introductory takbir, the suras of the Koran and the necessary duas are said aloud(not necessarily loud, you can whisper, but so that you can hear yourself, moving your lips and tongue).

1. After expressing your intention, raise your hands with your palms out to your shoulders and say (out loud!) The phrase “Allahu Akbar!” (this is the so-called introductory takbir) (as shown in the picture). While raising your hands, make sure that your sleeves do not fall and the awrah does not open - this can spoil your prayer!

2. Then fold your hands on your chest (right over left) and read Surah Al-Fatiha

Sura "Fatiha" (Opening)(approximate transliteration and translation):

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

[Bismillahi r-rahmani r-rahim]

In the name of Allah the Merciful, the Merciful

الحمد لله رب العالمين
[Al-hamdu lillahirabbil-alamin]

Glory to Allah, Lord of all the worlds

الرحمن الرحيم
[ar-rahmanir-rahim]

Gracious, Merciful

مالك يوم الدين
[maliki yaumid-din]

Ruler doomsday

إياك نعبد
[iyakya nabudu]

You alone we worship

و إياك نستعين

[wa iyyakya nastayyin]

and to You alone we cry for help

اهدنى الصراط المستقيم

[ihdinas-syratal-mustakyim]

Lead us to the right path

صراط الذين أنعمت عليهم
[sypatallazina an'amta aleihim]

the path of those whom You have bestowed with Your blessings

غير المغضوب عليهم
[Gairil-Magdubi Aleihim]

those who have not incurred Your disgrace

و لا الضآلين
[wa lad-dooollin (Amin)]

and those who did not fall into error. (Amen)

(as mentioned above, for the first time you can limit yourself to saying the phrases “Bismillah”, Alhamdulillah”, “La ilaha illallah”).

During the recitation of the suras, the gaze is turned to the supposed place of the prostration.

3. With the pronunciation of the words "Allahu Akbar" make a bow - hand '. Women bow not as deeply as men. The gaze is turned to the toes; the hands lie on the knees, not clasping them.

4. After making the ruku, straighten up again to a standing position.

5. With the words "Allahu Akbar" make a prostration (sajda). To perform it, they first kneel down, then lean on their hands and then touch the ground with their nose and forehead. The toes (at least two fingers) should rest on the ground, the elbows touch the floor and press against the body, the stomach is pressed against the hips.

6. With the words “Allahu Akbar”, rise to a sitting position for a short period of time, which is sufficient to pronounce the phrase “Subhanallah”. Then again say "Allahu Akbar" and make a second prostration.

Here the first rak'ah of prayer ends.

7. With the words "Allahu Akbar", rise to a vertical position for the second rak'ah of prayer and fold your arms over your chest, as described above.

2nd rak'ah:

8. First, as in the first rak'ah, read Sura Al-Fatiha (or say the words of dhikr - the remembrance of Allah). Usually, some short sura is also pronounced in the second rak'ah, but a beginner can limit himself to only one Al-Fatih sura. Then they perform ruku' and sajda as described above.

9. After making two earthly prostrations, sit on your feet (as shown in the picture), hands lie on your knees, both legs are shifted to the right side. You should not sit on your left foot, but on the floor. In this position, the dua Attahiyyat is pronounced.

Approximate transliteration and translation:

التحيات لله و الصلوات و الطيبات
[At-tahiyyatu lillahi was-salyawatu wat-tayyibat]

Greetings to Allah, prayers and good deeds.

السلام عليك أيها النبي و رحمة الله و بركاته
[As-salamu alaykya ayyuhan-nabiyyu wa rahmatullahi wa barakyatuh]

Peace be upon you, O Prophet, the mercy of Allah and His blessings.

السلام علينا و على عباد الله الصالحين
[As-salamu 'alayna wa 'ala ibadillahis-salihin]

Peace be upon us and the true servants of Allah.

أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله و أشهد أن محمدا عبده و رسوله
[Ashhadu alla ilaha illallah wa ashhadu anna muhammadan abduhu wa rasulyuh]

I bear witness that there is no god but Allah
and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.

Attention! While pronouncing the words “la illaha”, you need to raise the index finger of your right hand, and lower it while pronouncing the words “illa Allah”.

11. If you commit morning prayer(fajr) after pronouncing the dua At-Tahiyyat, a greeting (taslim) is pronounced at the end of the prayer. With the words "Assalamu alaikum var rahmatullah" turn your head towards the right shoulder, and then - with the same words - towards the left.

If a you perform a prayer consisting of more than two rak'ahs, then after pronouncing the dua At-Tahiyyat (without saying the greeting of the end of the prayer!) You need to rise to a standing position and perform one more (if you perform Maghrib prayer) or two more rak'ahs (if you perform prayers Zuhr, Asr, Isha). After the last (third or fourth rak'ah) is completed, sit down again and say the At-Tahiyat dua again, then say the greeting "Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah!" Turning your head first to the right shoulder, then to the left.

After performing prayer, you can turn to Allah with your personal requests (in any language, not necessarily in Arabic).

Note:

In the third and fourth rak'ahs obligatory prayer After reading Surah Fatiha, you do not need to read the second Surah. If you perform a sunnat prayer consisting of four rak'ahs, then the second sura in the third and fourth rak'ahs is pronounced.

Prayer Witr

As mentioned above, Hanafi scholars consider it obligatory to perform Witr prayer: a prayer performed after the night prayer of Isha and before the time of Fajr prayer. Namaz witr consists of three rak'ahs. Before committing it, the intention is pronounced something like this: “I intend to pray witr for the sake of Allah”- it is not indicated whether this is Sunnat or fard prayer, since there is disagreement among scientists on this issue. In the third rak'ah of this prayer, after reading Surah Al-Fatiha, you need to read a short surah, then saying "Allahu Akbar", raise your hands in the same way as for the introductory takbir, then fold them on your chest and say dua Kunut:

Approximate transliteration:

“Allaahumma inna nasta‘iinuka wa nastahdiika va nastagfiruk, wa natuubu ilaik, va nu’minu bikya va natavakkalyu ‘alayk, wa nusnii ‘alaykal-haira kullahu, wa nashkuruka wa laya nakfuruk, wa nahl‘u wa natruku man yafjuruk. Allahumma iyakya na’budu wa lakya nusalli wa nasjudu, wa ilyaykya nas’a va nakhfid, va narjuu rahmatakya va nakhshaa ‘azaabak, inna ‘azaabakya bil-kuffaari mulhik.

“O Allah! We appeal to Your help, we ask you to lead us on the right path, we ask You for forgiveness and repent. We believe and rely on You. We praise You in the best way. We thank you and do not deny. We reject and leave (leave) all those who commit lawlessness. Oh my God! We worship You alone, we pray, and before You we make prostrations. We strive for You and we go. We hope for Your mercy and we fear Your punishment. Verily, Your punishment befalls the godless!”

If a person has not yet learned dua Qunoot, you can say this dua:

“Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan, va fil-aakhyrati hasanatan va kynaa ‘azaaban-naar.”

“Our Lord! Give us good things in this and the next life, protect us from the torment of Hell.

What actions violate prayer

1. During prayer, you can’t talk, laugh - moreover, loud laughter (that people standing nearby can hear it) - violates not only prayer, but also ablution. However, a smile (without a sound) does not violate prayer.

2. You can not make any sounds or sigh. Sneezing or coughing does not break prayer.

3. You can not cry for worldly reasons (crying out of fear of Allah is allowed).

4. You can not perform multiple small actions without need (straighten clothes, itch). Small actions done for a good reason are forgiven, but care must be taken to reduce their number to a minimum.

Extra actions are defined, according to the strongest opinion, as actions which, if seen from a distance by an observer who does not know that you are praying, would completely convince him that you are NOT praying. If you have doubts, then this is not an extra act - and it does not violate prayer. Usually three continuous big acts are considered superfluous (based on Ibn Abidin's Radd al-Mukhtar).

5. A man and a woman should not pray while standing in the same row (there must be some distance or barrier).

Frequently Asked Questions about Prayer:

Is it possible to pray on a piece of paper or a book? Beginners often perform namaz by looking at a book or piece of paper with a hint. This should be avoided, because in this case it will turn out that you perform many unnecessary actions that make your prayer invalid.

Is it permissible to pray during haida or nifaas? - Not, a woman does not pray during menstruation (haid) and postpartum bleeding (nifas). If she still prays at this time, she falls into sin. For the validity of worship, it is very important to learn how to correctly determine the beginning and end of a haid - because if you start praying before your periods are over, such prayers will not be valid, and vice versa, if you do not pray when your periods have already ended, it will turn out that you miss prayers without a good reason. In both cases, you will have to make up for missed prayers later. You can read about Hyde here. Prayers missed at this time (haida and nifasa) do not need to be made up.

Do I need to make up for missed prayers?- Missed prayers - for any reason (except those that were missed due to menstruation and postpartum bleeding) - must be made up! So if you overslept the morning prayer or were unable to pray at work or school, you must definitely make up for these prayers later.

If a person began to pray not with the onset of adulthood(in particular, a woman - not from the moment when her period began), but at a more mature age, is it necessary to make up for these prayers? - Yes, such prayers must be filled.

How to pray at work or school?– Often people say that they cannot pray at work or in educational institution. These reasons are not considered valid - you should make every effort to find a time and place for prayer.

What if my parents do not allow me to pray?- If direct violence is not used against you (for example, you are not threatened to be killed or seriously maimed - and you must be sure that the threat will really be carried out!), And this is unlikely in the case of loved ones, you should start praying, despite their discontent. Your loved ones are not at home all day, they do not follow your every move - so choose a time when you are not being noticed, find a secluded place in the house and pray. Be patient and firm in your decision - inshaAllah, over time, your relatives will come to terms with your choice and will even respect you for your strength of character.

Is it possible for women to read namaz by a separate women's jamaat(not after a male imam, but to choose some knowledgeable sister and pray after her). Hanafi scholars consider such an action to be makruh tahrimi (close to forbidden), so one should refrain from it (although the scholars of the Shafi'i madhhab allow this).

Women sometimes ask: is it possible to pray with a child in her arms or what to do if, during prayer, the child climbs onto the back or into the arms of the mother (or touches her): In this article, you can read a detailed explanation of this issue “Prayer with a child in her arms”
Muslima (Anya) Kobulova

Based on materials from the Darul-Fikr website

For many years now, many books have been published aimed at ensuring that every woman understands how to learn how to pray. After all, this type of worship is of great value for every Muslim.

How to learn from scratch to do namaz correctly?

Namaz is nothing more than a daily prayer, which consists of rak'ahs - certain actions and phrases, alternating one after another.

It is known that it is important to repeat this prayer cycle 5 times a day. First of all, it should be remembered that prayer should not be started without covering the entire body. In addition, it should be opaque and in no case tight-fitting. It is better that there is no varnish on the nails. After all, because of him, the water does not wash the whole body. When making movements, it is necessary to raise the arms low, press the elbows to the body, and also during the bow, the stomach should be pressed to the hips.

Morning prayer is performed by turning towards the house of Allah. Prayer should begin with the words "Allah Akbar." Next step - left hand covered with the right one with the phrase "Protect me, Allah, from curses." It is important not to forget to read the surah Al-Fatiha, a surah from the Koran. This stage is completed by "Allah Akbar". Then you should straighten up, saying: “Only you, Almighty, praise”, bow to the ground, repeating three times: “Subhana rabbiyal-alya”.

This concludes the morning prayer. It is important to mention that when discussing how to learn how to pray for a girl, it is important to cleanse your organs before each prayer after defecation.

So, the second prayer, carried out at noon, also consists of 4 rak'ahs. Afternoon, sunset and night prayers include the same rak'ahs. The only thing is that in the last prayer, sitting, reads the prayer "Tahiyat".

It is important to pray on time. If you pray before or after the set time, then the prayer is considered invalid.

The one who is going to read the prayer must be undefiled, that is, he must have a full ablution and a small ablution. If you do not have it, you cannot read namaz. Also, the conditions of prayer must be fulfilled. Only after that, a woman and a man can stand up for prayer.

Video training on reading namaz for women

This video, inshaAllah, will help you understand what is being done and how. Detailed text description below.

Our main task is that beginner women could learn how to read namaz. It is for them that we tried to briefly and in an understandable way write the order. There is a necessary minimum, one might say. And for those who want to know more subtleties - we have hidden additional information in the "more".

Namaz for a novice woman from 2 rak'ahs

Fajr morning prayer consists of 2 rak'ahs. Another double prayer is used in additional prayers. How to do a prayer of two rak'ahs for a woman? The rules for performing this prayer are the same for all Muslims. The only thing that differs is only the position of the hands and feet in prayer. In order to perform prayer correctly, a woman needs to know not only how duas and suras are pronounced in Arabic, but also to understand their meaning. Below will be a diagram of the performance of prayer with the translation of meanings into Russian. It is advisable to learn the reading of suras and duas with a teacher Arabic or listen to the correct audio playback. It is very important - the correct pronunciation of words. In order for a novice woman to be able to perform prayer, the Russian alphabet was used when writing suras and duas, but unfortunately this spelling does not convey the correct pronunciation.

Any religion has its own set of rules on how to read prayers correctly, how often to do it, and with what attitude to approach such a responsible mission. Every Muslim responsibly approaches the reading of namaz, because, as the Koran says, this brings one closer to Allah. For a beginner, this task seems daunting at first. Therefore, the number of young Muslims who are negligent in this occupation is growing inexorably. That is why it is so important to learn how to read namaz correctly, putting into every word deep meaning and message.

In the Muslim religion, prayer is an obligatory daily ritual for reading certain five times prayers. It is very important not to miss this event, to selflessly read and pass every word through yourself. Only in this case, Allah will bless the person, protect and instruct him.

If a believer does not fulfill his religious duties, reads namaz irregularly and does not do it at all, does not put deep meaning into prayers, then the Almighty turns away from the person and even curses him.

Also, prayer is an opportunity to concentrate and understand your feelings, put your thoughts in order and even make a difficult decision if such a “hanging” over a person.

Why do they read namaz? Every true Muslim will attest that it should be read because:

Namaz takes care of the state of mind. Such a prayer can be compared to a session of an ideal psychoanalyst who understands the intricacies of the patient's soul. With the help of prayer, Allah influences the believer, gives him strength, tranquility, peace.
Prayers develop a sense of respect for God. The holy book of the Quran says that one should not pay attention to those who ignore prayer. You should do your work with inspiration, then the believer will enlist the support of the Almighty.
Namaz gives a feeling of joy and satisfaction. Surprisingly, prayer gives strength and energy. Even after a long reading, a person does not feel tired. On the contrary, he feels a surge of strength, wants to fulfill his duties and give this feeling to others.

Namaz combines strict necessity, obligation with personal desire and aspiration. As a result, the person becomes happy. But this end result is only possible when all the rules are followed.

How to prepare for prayer?

Prayer must be done by an adult. His mind must be bright, and he must be aware of what will happen.

Physical training includes:

washing before prayer, especially if a person feels dirty, untidy;
put on clean clothes that should cover all the necessary parts of the body;
you should turn your face towards the Kaaba - an Islamic shrine located in Mecca.

Be sure to pay attention to the pose in which the prayer will be read. A man should put his feet shoulder-width apart, his hands should be lowered and relaxed, his gaze should be in front of him, slightly lowered.

Women, on the other hand, stand straight, legs should be joined together, and arms should be placed along the body.

Also, the believer must prepare emotionally, tune in to the desired "wave", be frank and sincere.

When the preparation is over, the Muslim pronounces the words - the forerunners of prayer.

Preparation also includes a thorough knowledge of the elements of prayer. Distinguish between rak'ahs and soot. The first is systematically repeated movements, gestures and words during prayer. The second is prostration, an obligatory element of prayer.

Rakaats, in turn, are divided into obligatory and desirable. A responsible Muslim must observe them all. An exception is if a person is very ill and unable to perform all procedures.

What time to pray?

Namaz includes 5 prayers. Each of them must be read in a specially allotted time. All parts of reading are very important, so timeliness and gradualness are very important in this process.

At what time to read namaz? This question is of particular concern to beginners. There are even special sites that provide a return report by the appointed time. But not everyone can take advantage of such innovations, therefore it is better to immediately decide when to read prayer.

Morning reading takes place shortly before dawn. Despite the early hour a large number of people begin to read prayers.

Daily prayer in summer period read after the intense heat subsides. In winter, this can be done earlier because the sun sets faster.

The evening prayer is performed at a very subtle moment, which should be caught. This is done when the sun has changed its color before sunset. It can be difficult for young, inexperienced Muslims to catch this time. This is where the help of more experienced mentors comes in handy.

When the sun sets, it is time for the evening prayer.

Night reading should take place in the first third of the night.

Over time, when there will be more experience, it will be much easier for a beginner to keep track of time. Then the chances of missing reading are minimal.

In which direction to pray?

Namaz is impossible without observing an important condition - reading in the direction of the qibla. Qibla literally means "that which is opposite." This direction leads to a sacred point called the Kaaba, which is located in the city of Mecca.

This geographical point is also extremely important in the construction of mosques. This is a kind of religious magnet that attracts Muslims from all over the world. No matter where on the planet a person finds himself, he knows where to turn in order to feel the unity of the spirit.

The younger generation can hardly determine the right direction for reading a prayer. In which direction to read namaz if there is no one to prompt and help? Modern technologies do an excellent job with the task.

For example, using Yandex maps will speed up the search for the Kaaba. To do this, perform the manipulations:

drive in the Yandex search "Mecca", click "Find";
select "Cards";
on the right, find "Show" - "Satellite" or "Hybrid";
use the Ruler tool, Kaaba is the end point;
decreasing - increasing the scale of the map, you need to select the starting point, where in this moment there is a believer.

In this way a direction will be laid, which must be invariably addressed from day to day.

If a person deliberately chose the wrong direction or did not even try to find the right one, then his prayer will be considered invalid. In the event that a person assumes that he is reading in right direction, but this is not so, prayer will be counted.

If suddenly a Muslim chose the wrong direction and realized this during prayer, he should turn in the right direction without stopping it.

How to start reading namaz for beginners?

Children are taught to pray from early childhood. Gender does not matter; both girls and boys should read the fivefold prayer. Starting from the age of majority, the procedure is mandatory.

For a beginner, this procedure is a colossal work, but not because you need to learn all the prayers. The main thing is to focus and not be distracted. If the prayer is read with errors, and the Muslim is confused, then the prayer simply will not be counted.

The Qur'an says that if a believer has pure aspirations and thoughts, then even small errors in reading will not violate the power of prayer. It is necessary to strive for the ideal all the time, try to make fewer mistakes each time, and then everything will succeed.

You should also make certain bows, gestures at the right time. At first, it is difficult for an inexperienced person to combine reading and control over their actions.

We can distinguish the following algorithm of actions for beginners:

strict adherence to the time and number of readings;
cleansing and washing;
choosing the right clothes, hiding body parts from prying eyes;
search for the right direction;
desire to pray.

For Muslims, these requirements are feasible, because they have been taught them since childhood. For those who have just adopted the faith, the rules are given with difficulty. But even in this case, everything can be achieved if there is faith.

How to read namaz for men?

The reading of a prayer by a man and a woman is different. Therefore, it is rational to learn how to read namaz correctly for men, how it differs from the female version.

First you need to stand up and express your sincere intentions. Depending on what time of day prayer is read, the number of obligatory and desirable body movements will differ.

You should raise two hands towards the Qibla and spread your fingers. Touch your earlobes with your thumbs.
Fold your hands like this: put your right hand on your left, thumb and the little finger of the right hand should clasp the left hand.
In this position, touch the area just below the navel.
Lower your hands and bow.
Then you need to straighten up, and then touch the soot with your forehead.
Straighten up and stay in a sitting position.
After a few minutes, descend into the soot again.

Each stage is accompanied by the reading of certain prayers, verses.

How to read namaz to women?

Every Muslim woman knows from childhood how to read prayers to women correctly. These rules do not differ from the male version. Some believe that women can pray not 5 times a day, but less. But this is an erroneous opinion.

The only simplification is that they can choose a place for prayer (a mosque or within the house).

This feature is due to the fact that in some mosques there is no separate entrance for women or there is no special hall. In this case, it is better for them to pray at home so as not to distract men with their presence (this is forbidden by the Koran).

The holy book also says that the home option is preferable for women also because it is more difficult for her to break away from household chores and raising children.

Like men, Muslim women must take a responsible approach to this activity, concentrate.

How many times do they pray?

Namaz is read strictly 5 times a day. Each link has its own exact time. If a believer for some reason skips it or does it later, then it does not count.

It is important not to miss prayer, to strictly adhere to the schedule. Then the Almighty will bestow his love, will help in business and bestow love on a person.

Prayer text

Prayer changes depending on the time of day. If it's about morning reading, then the text of the prayer will be as follows:

“O Allah, Lord of this prayer! Give Prophet Mahammad dignity. And help us to take advantage of his protection.”

“I am far from Satan, I am getting closer to the Lord. Our praise belongs only to Allah. You alone we worship and ask for help. Guide us to the right path."

This little passage shows how much the reader should respect his Lord.

All speech is spoken in the native language.

Some sites even have transcription and translation.

What prayer is read at night?

Night prayer or "tahajjud" should be done around one in the morning. The minimum required cycles of body movements is 2 times, the maximum is 12.

Muslims believe that the night prayer is special. He brings the believer closer to the Almighty, bestows health, patronizes in all endeavors and deeds.

The Qur'an confirms this opinion, therefore this prayer is treated with special trepidation.

What should be read after prayer?

An example of a dua after prayer:

“O Allah, you are the world. Blessed are You, possessing greatness and generosity. There is no other God but Allah. To Him belongs the power and the praise."

When is it not allowed to pray?

Let's consider such cases:

Morning prayers take place between dawn and sunrise.
When the sun is at its zenith, prayer is also not recommended.
30 minutes before sunset (it turned red), you can not read anything, except for the afternoon prayer.
During the Khutba - a religious sermon.

How to quickly learn to read namaz?

Only experience and efforts will help you to pray without mistakes and with inspiration. It is necessary to read not only obligatory, but also desirable prayers.

Also useful for beginners:

patience;
maximum concentration;
discipline.

It should be remembered that excessive speed in this matter is fatal. It is better to read slowly, but correctly and without errors.

Namaz to read aloud or silently?

Sacred Muslim truths say that prayer should not be read very loudly, but not in a whisper. You should select an average sound level.

It is believed that daytime prayers are read in a whisper, but morning and evening prayers are read aloud. This was preceded by an interesting legend.

Once Muslims were mocked by idolaters. Hearing the loud recitation of prayer, they immediately set about their actions.

To eliminate the attacks, believers began to read prayers in a whisper or to themselves.

This means that initially prayer was read exclusively aloud, and then they began to do it to themselves.

Reading namaz is a responsible and rather difficult task for beginners. In order not to get confused and do everything in a timely and correct manner, you need time and knowledge.
