PRAYER- STRESSED OPTIONAL ACTS |
|
|
|
The components ( main sunnas ) of prayer are stressed optional acts. Even if one were to omit all of them intentionally, one�s prayer would be valid and one wouldn�t have fallen into sin. However, omitting even part of a component (whether intentionally, absentmindedly, or out of ignorance) renders the prayer deficient. This deficiency can be repaired with a pair of forgetfulness prostrations at the end of the prayer. If one omits the forgetfulness prostrations (whether intentionally, absentmindedly, or out of ignorance) one�s prayer is still valid and one is still free from sin. However, one has offered a deficient prayer to His Lord, Mighty and Majestic. A component can be referred to as a ba`d (pl. ab`ad) or a sunnah (pl. sunan). When components are referred to as sunan, other, less stressed sunnah acts are commonly referred to hay�at. Reliance of the Traveller refers to components as �main sunnas�. [Reliance, f11.4] |

There are seven components ( main sunnas ) of prayer, namely:
1:the first tashahhud of a prayer with more than one tashahhud (as opposed to the last tashahhud, which is an integral),
2:sitting for the first tashahhud
3:the prayer for the Prophet (as-salah `ala-n-nabiyy), may Allah bless him and grant him peace, after the first tashahhud (as opposed to the same act after the last tashahhud, which is an integral)
4:the prayer for the family of the Prophet (as-salah `ala alihi), may Allah bless him and grant him peace, after the last tashahhud
5:the standing supplication (qunoot) in the fajr prayer (throughout the year) and in the witr prayer (during the second half of Ramadan),
6:standing during the standing supplication, and
7:the prayer and salutation (as-salah wa-s-salam) upon the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), his family, and companions after the standing supplication. |
