Follow the below steps: Eid Ul Adha namaz ki Niyat Niyat ki maine 2 rakat namaz Wajib Eid Ul Adha ki, Zahid 6 Takbiro ke, Muh Kaaba shareef ki taraf, Picha is Imam ke, Allah o Akbar 1) Make intention for Eid-ul-Adha for two Rakats Wajib as above and then lift your hands up to your ears and say ‘Allahu Akbar’ and then fold them below the navel as normal. 2) Now pray ‘Sana’ and then say Allahu Akbar and lift your hands up to your ears and release them and again lift your hands and say Allahu Akbar and release them again and then lift your hands again and say Allahu Akbar and then fold them. 3) This means fold your hands after the first and fourth Takbeer and in the second and third Takbeers release your hands. The best way to remember is that if the Imam shall recite after the Takbeer then fold your hands and when he shall not recite (after a Takbeer) release your hands and hang them on the side. 4) After folding your hands after the fourth Takbeer the Imam will silently recite ‘A’udhubillah’ and ‘Bismillah’ and then he will pray Surah al-Fatiha (‘Alhamd Sharif’) and a Surat loudly and then go into Ruku and Sijdah and (thus,) complete one Rak’at (unit).
5) Then in the second Rak’at the Imam will first pray the Alhamdu and a Surat then lift your hands to your ears and say Allahu Akbar and release them; and do not fold them and repeat this twice. Therefore a total of three times the Takbeer shall be said. On the fourth time say Allahu Akbar and without lifting your hands go into Ruku. Must to before Eid Namaz as per sunaat of Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wa salam 1. To rise early in the morning. 2. Take a full bath. 3. Clean the teeth. 4. Wear the best cloths that he had. 5. Wear perfume. 6. To eat something sweet like dates before leaving home. 7. Go to the Eid prayer location very early. (The Prophet use to offer Eid prayer in the central location, that is not to offer it in a mosque of a locality without any legitimate excuse). 8. The Prophet used to go to the Eid Prayer location by one route and will return through another route. 9. He used to go for Eid on foot. 10. He used to chant slowly on the way to the Eid prayer location the following words: “Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Laa ilaaha illallahu Wallahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Wa lillahil Hamd." (Translation: Allah is the greatest, He is the greatest. There is no god except Allah. He is the greatest. All praises and thanks are for Him) 11. The Prophet used to give Sadqa-e-Fitr (zakatul fitr) for before the Eid day. But if you have not done so please give now before the Eid. Eid Namaz for Women It is not permissible for females to perform the Eidain prayers, as there shall be mixing between the men and the women in the Eidgah (place where the Eid prayer is performed). This is why it is not permissible for females to go to the Masajid to perform salaah with congregation; whether they go in day or at night; whether for Jum’ah or for Eidain; whether they are old or young. [This has been stated in Tanwir al-Absar and al-Durr al-Mukhtar Page 114] Yes, however, before Zawal women can perform the 2 or 4 rak’ats Chasht (Salatud Duha) prayer at home, after the Eidain prayer has finished. [Bahar-e-Shari’at – Vol. 1, Chapter 4, Page 94] 3. If only the women have their own congregation for salaah, then this is also not permissible, as the congregation held by women between themselves (to perform salaah) is not allowed, in fact it is strictly disliked (Makruh-e-Tehrimi). [This has been stated in Fatawa-e-’Alamgiri Vol. 1 Page 80, also in al-Durr al-Mukhtar Page 77]
4. Even if women pray the Eidain prayer on their own, then this is also not permissible as it is a condition to establish the Eidain prayer that it is performed with a congregation. Yes! Women should pray the nafl (supererogatory) salaah on that day; at home, on their own. Insha’Allah they shall receive the blessings and rewards of that day.
A FEW MASA’IL REGARDING EID SALAAH (EID NAMAZ FAQS) 1. If the Imam forgets to recite the extra Takbirs in the first rak’ah and if he remembers after reciting surah Al-Fatihah, he should recite the extra Takbir and repeat surah Al-Fatihah. 2. If a person joins the Eid salaah after the Imam has completed the extra Takbirs then he should recite the Takbir of Tahrimah and immediately, the additional Takbirs, dropping the hands between the first two additional Takbirs and clasping them after the third, making sure that the hands are raised to the ears on each Takbir. 3. Since the condition of Eid salaah is the formation of a jama’ah, a person who missed Eid salaah is unable to perform the salaah on his own. There is no Qadha for Eid salaah. 4. A person who joins the Eid salaah after the Imam has already recited the Eid Takbir should recite the Takbir immediately upon entering the salaah. However, if he enters the salaah when the Imam is about to go into Ruku and he (the late-comer) fears that he will not be able to join the Imam in the Ruku if he stands and recites the Takbir, then he should instead recite the Takbir in the Ruku, and forgo the tasbih of the Ruku but, while reciting the Takbir in Ruku the hands should not be raised as is done when reciting the Takbir when in Qiyam (the standing posture of salaah). If the Imam emerges from the Ruku and the latecomer has not yet completed the recitation of his Takbir which he had missed then he should leave off the balance of the Takbir and join the Imam. In this case the balance of the Takbir which he could not complete are waived.
Steps for Performing Eid-ul-Fitr Namaz There are six extra Takbeers in Eid Namaz Three before Qira’at (recitation) and after Takbeer-e-Tahrima in the

ईद उल फ़ित्र नमाज़ की नियत और तरीका
नियत की मैंने 2 रकात नमाज़ वाजिब ईद उल फितर की, जाहिद 6 तकबीरो के, मुह काबा शरीफ की तराफ, पिचा इमाम के, अल्लाह ओ अकबर
ईद उल फ़ित्र नमाज़ का तरीका
1) ईद-उल-फितर के लिए ऊपर की तरह दो रकात नमाज़ वजीब का इरादा करें और फिर अपने हाथों को अपने कानों तक उठाएं और 'अल्लाहु अकबर' कहें और फिर उन्हें नाभि के नीचे सामान्य रूप से बांधें।
2) अब 'सना' (सुभानकाल्लाहुम्मा) पड़ें और फिर अल्लाहु अकबर कहें और अपने हाथों को अपने कानों तक उठाएं और उन्हें छोड़ दें और फिर से अपने हाथों को उठाएं और अल्लाहु अकबर कहें और उन्हें फिर से छोड़ दें और फिर अपने हाथों को उठाएं और अल्लाहु अकबर कहें और फिर उन्हें बांधें।
3) इसका मतलब है कि पहली और चौथी तकबीर के बाद अपने हाथ जोड़ लें और दूसरे और तीसरे तकबीर में हाथ छोड़ दें। याद रखने का सबसे अच्छा तरीका यह है कि अगर तकबीर के बाद इमाम पढ़े तो अपने हाथ जोड़ लें और जब वह (तकबीर के बाद) न पढ़े तो अपने हाथों को छोड़ दें और उन्हें किनारे पर लटका दें।
4) चौथे तकबीर के बाद हाथ जोड़कर इमाम चुपचाप 'औदुबिल्लाह' और 'बिस्मिल्लाह' पढ़ेंगे और फिर सूरह अल-फातिहा ('अल्हमद शरीफ') और एक सूरत को जोर से पढ़ेंगे और फिर रुकू और सिजदा में जाएंगे। और (इस प्रकार,) एक रकअत (इकाई) को पूरा करें।
5) फिर दूसरी रकअत में इमाम पहले अल्हम्दु और सूरत की नमाज़ अदा करेंगे फिर अपने हाथों को अपने कानों तक उठाएँगे और अल्लाहु अकबर कहेंगे और उन्हें छोड़ देंगे; और उन्हें फोल्ड न करें और इसे दो बार दोहराएं। इसलिए कुल तीन बार तकबीर कहा जाएगा। चौथी बार अल्लाहु अकबर बोलो और बिना हाथ उठाए रुकू में जाओ।
नमाज़ के बाद क़ुत्बा होगा फिर दुआ और सलाम होग। दुआ की गुज़ारिश
Nawafil Namaz (Salat and Dua) in on day of Eid-ul-Fitr Namaz 8 Rakats (4 Salams) On the first day of Shawwal (Day of Eid) after Zuhr Namaz in Afternoon Pray 8 Rakats with 4 salam.

After Salam Read Subhan Allah 70 Times, Astagfirullah 70 times and below Darood sharif 70 times Allahumma salli-ala muhammadin nabiyil ummiyi wa-ala alaihi wa ashabihi wa barik wa sallam Rewards: Allah will grants 70 wishes in this world and 70 wishes on the judgement day and the doors of Rehmat will be opened for him. Insha Allah Remember in your Dua Eid Namaz for Women It is not permissible for females to perform the Eidain prayers, as there shall be mixing between the men and the women in the Eidgah (place where the Eid prayer is performed). This is why it is not permissible for females to go to the Masajid to perform salaah with congregation; whether they go in day or at night; whether for Jum’ah or for Eidain; whether they are old or young.

In this case the balance of the Takbir which he could not complete are waived.
5. If someone missed a Rak’ah of the Eid Salaah, he should fulfil it as follows: After the Imam completes the salaah, he (the one who missed the Rak’ah) should rise and perform one Raka’h on his own, reciting Qira’ah (Surah Al-Fatiha plus a Surah) first, followed by the Takbirs. The rest of the Rak’ah is then completed as usual.
The method is to make intention for Eid-ul-Fitr or Eid-ud-Duha for two Rakats Wajib and then lift your hands up to your ears and say ‘Allahu Akbar’ and then fold them below the navel as normal. Now pray ‘Sana’ and then say Allahu Akbar and lift your hands up to your ears and release them and again lift your hands and say Allahu Akbar and release them again and then lift your hands again and say Allahu Akbar and then fold them.

Also in all the extra Takbeers you must lift your hands and between two Takbeers a gap of three Tasbeehs should be made and it is Mustahab in the Eid prayer to recite after Alhamdu, ‘Surah al-Jumu’ah’ in the first Rak’at and ‘Surah al-Munafiqun’ in the second or in the first pray ‘Sabbih Isma Rabbik al-A’la’ and in the second ‘Hal Ataaka Hadeethul Ghasihiyah’.

Hadrat Anas reported that when the Holy Prophet came to Madinah, the people had two days in which they used to entertain and amuse themselves. He asked: “What are these two days?” They said: “We used to amuse ourselves and take pleasure in these two days during the Days of Ignorance (jahiliyyah). The Messenger of Allah said, “Allah has substituted for you something better than these two; the Eid of Adha (sacrifice) and the Eid of Fitr . [Sunan Abi Dawood - Book on Prayer, Vol 1, Page 162] II. Hadrat Abu al-Huwairith reported that the Messenger of Allah wrote to Hadrat ‘Amr ibn Hazm, when he was in Najran, asking him to observe the prayer early on the Eid of Adha (sacrifice) and late on the Eid of Fitr, and to admonish the people. [Mishkaat - Book on Prayer, Vol 1, Page 127] III. Hadrat Jabir ibn Samurah reported, “I prayed with the Messenger of Allah the two Eid prayers more than once or twice, without an Adhan or Iqamah.” [Sahih Muslim - Book on the two Eid Prayers, Vol 1, Page 290] IV. Hadrat Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah did not go (to the place of prayer) in the morning on the day of Eid-ul-Fitr till he ate some dates, and he used to eat an odd number. [Sahih Bukhari - Book on the two Eid Prayers, Vol 1, Page 130] V. Hadrat Buraidah reported that the Holy Prophet did not go out on the day of Eid-ul-Fitr till he had eaten some food; and that he did not eat any food on the day of Eid-ul-Adha (sacrifice) till he had prayed. [Sunan Tirmidhi - Book on the two Eid Prayers, Vol 1, Page 120] VI. Hadrat Jabir reported that on the day of Eid the Holy Prophet used to return by a different route from the one he had taken when going out. [Sahih Bukhari - Book on the two Eid Prayers, Vol 1, Page 134]
The arabic name Eid al-Fitr means 'festival of the breaking of the fast' in English. It marks the end of the month-long fast of Ramadan, and the beginning of the Islamic month of Shawwal. Like other festivals observed by the Muslim community, this festival symbolizes faith. When is Eid-ul-Fitr?
Ramadan ends with the festival of Eid al-Fitr, which can be on July 18 or 19 2015. Eid al-Fitr is one of the two most important Islamic celebrations (the other occurs after the Hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca).
How is Eid-ul-Fitr celebrated?
Eid is celebrated on the first date of Shawwal, that is, the tenth month of the Hijra calendar. During the festival, Muslims exchange gifts, greeting their neighbours as a mark of solidarity and brotherhood.
According to the Islamic tradition, there are two festivals observed by Muslims every year - Eid-ul-Fitr just after Ramzan and Eid-ul-Zuha in the month of Haj.
Ramzan, the month of fasting, symbolizes a lot practices and beliefs of the community. It is not merely restraining oneself from having food but also to abstain from all kinds of evil and unlawful practices in Islam.
Muslims, just before the celebrations of Eid-ul-Fitr, keep a month long fast throughout the month of Ramzan. The practice of fasting is also known as 'roza' that starts from the break of dawn till dusk and during this whole day an individual has to refrain hinself from drinking, eating or having sexual intercourse. The term 'roza' us an Arabic word means abstinence. This year Eid-ul-Fitr will be celebrated on August 20 to mark the end of Ramzan, the Islamic holy month of fasting.
The month long fasting ends with the festival of Eid-ul-Fitr that symbolizes a reward for their fasting.
Muslims on this day wear their best clothers and offer 'namaz' a congregational prayer at masjids or mosques. After offering their prayers they exchange good wishes of the festival with their neighbours and other people. They also donate alms to the poor on the auspicios occasion.
The celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr not only has religious essence but also carries a social connotation.
Like other festivals, Eid-ul-Fitr is also observed with great enthusiasm. Delicious food and drinks are an indispensable part of the festivity. People decoare their houses and prepare luscious traditional sweets and cuisines to celebrate the festival. The most common recipe in this festival is the delicious meethi seviyan (Sweet Vermicelli) prepared from various healthy and mouth-watering ingredients.
The celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr is no-doubt perks up the spirit inherent in all the festivity. The significance of this festival is also interpreted as a good time to bring people together in harmony and gratitude. Method for performing the Eid-ul-Fitr Prayer
The method is to make intention for Eid-ul-Fitr or Eid-ud-Duha for two Rakats Wajib and then lift your hands up to your ears and say ‘Allahu Akbar’ and then fold them below the navel as normal.
Now pray ‘Sana’ and then say Allahu Akbar and lift your hands up to your ears and release them and again lift your hands and say Allahu Akbar and release them again and then lift your hands again and say Allahu Akbar and then fold them.
This means fold your hands after the first and fourth Takbeer and in the second and third Takbeers release your hands. The best way to remember is that if the Imam shall recite after the Takbeer then fold your hands and when he shall not recite (after a Takbeer) release your hands and hang them on the side.
After folding your hands after the fourth Takbeer the Imam will silently recite ‘A’udhubillah’ and ‘Bismillah’ and then he will pray Surah al-Fatiha (‘Alhamd Sharif’) and a Surat loudly and then go into Ruku and Sijdah and (thus,) complete one Rak’at (unit).
Then in the second Rak’at the Imam will first pray the Alhamdu and a Surat then lift your hands to your ears and say Allahu Akbar and release them; and do not fold them and repeat this twice. Therefore a total of three times the Takbeer shall be said. On the fourth time say Allahu Akbar and without lifting your hands go into Ruku.
This therefore means that in the Eid prayer there are six extra Takbeers; three before Qira’at (recitation) and after Takbeer-e-Tahrima in the first Rak’at and three after Qira’at in the second Rakat and before the Takbeer for Ruku.
Also in all the extra Takbeers you must lift your hands and between two Takbeers a gap of three Tasbeehs should be made and it is Mustahab in the Eid prayer to recite after Alhamdu, ‘Surah al-Jumu’ah’ in the first Rak’at and ‘Surah al-Munafiqun’ in the second or in the first pray ‘Sabbih Isma Rabbik al-A’la’ and in the second ‘Hal Ataaka Hadeethul Ghasihiyah’.

Method of performing the Eid prayer has been taken from the English version of the book “Qanoon-e-Shari’at”, by ‘Allama Shamsul ‘Ulama Shamsuddin Ahmed al-Radawi, the student of Sadr al-Shari’ah, Allama Mufti Amjad ‘Ali al-‘A’azmi.
When beginning salaat, men raise both
hands. The tips of thumbs must touch the earlobes. Palms must be turned
towards the Qibla. Saying of Allahu Akbar (Takbir) begins as the hands
leave the ears and finish as they are folded under the navel.
NOTE:
Women raise their both hands as high as their shoulders and say the
takbir of beginning. Then they put their hands on their chest.
Watch video of Namaz Steps ( Namaz ka Tarika)
There are seven conditions for a salaat to be corrected.
NIYYAT (intention) is made while saying the takbir at the beggining. It is permissible to make niyyat before that, too.
(I)
To make niyyat for salaat means to intend in the heart to perform a
particular Salaat - Its name, time, qibla, to wish to follow the imam
(when performing salaat in jama'at) etc. Such as saying, "I pray two
rakat (or as many required for that time) Fard (if its Fard or say
Sunnat if its Sunnat or say Wajib if its Wajib or Say Nafil if its
Nafil) of Fajr (or whichever Salaat it is) for Allah Ta'ala and facing
towards the Ka'aba."
(ii) Knowledge only, that is, knowing what is to be done will not be niyyat.
(iii) The niyyat made after the takbir of beginning is not correct and that salaat is not acceptable.
(iv)
When making niyyat for prayers that are fard or wajib, it is necessary
to know which fard or wajib they are. For example, it is necessary to
know the name of the fard and to say for instance, "To perform today's
early afternoon prayer (Zuhr)," or, the time's fard." When performing
the salaat of Eid or witr, it is necessary to think of its being wajib
and its name.
(v) It is good (mustahab) but not necessary to make niyyat for the number of rak'ats (cycles).
(vi) When performing a sunnat the niyyat "To perform salaat will suffice."
(vii)
When beginning to worship, saying orally only is not called niyyat.
Worships done without niyyat are not acceptable in all four Madhhabs
(Hanfi, Shaafi, Maliki and Hambali). Thus niyyat is done from the heart.
TAHRIMA
means to say "Allahu Akbar"
When
beginning salaat it is Fard to say Tahrima. No other word to replace it
is acceptable. If the takbir is said too long, like AAllah (with AA
instead of one A) in the beginning or Akbaar (with aa instead of one a)
at the end, salaat will not be accepted. If 'Takbir' is said before the
Imam, salaat will not have started.
QIYAMmeans to stand.
(I) When standing, the two feet must be four finger's width apart from each other.
(ii)
In Fards,Wajibs and in the sunnat of Fajr salaat Qiyam is Fard. It
means a person who is healthy but performs the above mentioned salaat
while sitting, is not acceptable, He must perform all of the mentioned
Salaats with qiyam for his salaat to be accepted.
(iii) He who is
too ill to stand should perform salaat sitting, and if too ill to sit
he should lie down on his back and performs it with his head (by
moving,nodding his head,etc,). A pillow must be put under his head so
that his face will be towards the qibla instead of towards the sky. He
bends his knees, so that he will not stretch his legs towards the qibla.
(iii) As qirat is wajib to recite Surah
Fatiha and to also recite a sura or three ayats in every rak'at of
sunnats and of witr prayer and in the first two rak'ats of the fard.
(iv)
In the fard (prayers of salaat that are obligatory), it is wajib to say
the Fatiha and the other sura at the two first rak'ats. Additionally,
it is wajib to say Surah Fatiha before the sura. Furthermore, it is
wajib to say the fatiha once in every rak'at. If one of these five
wajibs is forgotten, it is necessary to make sajda-e-sahw.
(v) In
the third and the fourth rak'ats of the fard, it is sunnat for the Imam
as well as for a person who performs salaat individually to say the
Fatiha. [Ibni Abidin shami, p 343].
(vi) A settled (resident)
person who follows a traveling one stands up when the imam makes the
salam after the second rak'at,and performs two more rak'ats,but he does
not make the qirat. That is, he does not say the Fatiha or the other
sura. He does not say any prayer as if he were praying salaat behind the
imam.
(vii) In every prayer of salaat except Friday prayer and
Eid prayer, it is sunnat for the imam that the sura he says in the first
rak'at (after the Fatiha) be twice as long as the one he says in the
second rak'at.
(viii) It is makruh to say a sura in the second
rak'at three ayats longer than the sura said in the first rak'at.It is
always wajib to read the suras or ayats from the Qur'an.
(xi) A
person who is too ill to stand, or feels dizzy or has a headache or
toothache or pain in some other part of his body or can not control wind
or bleeding when he stands should perform salaat sitting.
QIRAT:
Means to read (recite) by mouth gently. Reading gently means to read
only as loud as can hear yourself. (I) The recitation is called Jahri,
that is, loud if its heard by people who stand on each side of the
recitor. (ii) It is fard to say an ayat (verse) of the Quran while in
Qiyam (standing) in every Rakat and it must be in the order as they are
written in the Quran. For example one cannot recite Surah Naas in first
rakaat and Surah Ikhlas in second.
RUKU: After
the sura you bend for Ruku whilst saying takbir. (I) In ruku men open
their fingers and put them on their knees. They keep their back and head
leveled in ruku. Also the arms and legs must be straight and then you
say, "Subhana Rabbiyel Azeem" at least thrice. (ii) If the imam raises
his head before you have said it three times you must raise your head
too. You must not wait to complete the recitation thrice. In Ruku women
do not open their fingers, they do not keep their head and back level,
nor their arms and legs straight.
It is sunnat, for the imam as
well as a person who is performing salaat alone, to say 'Sami Allahu
liman hamidah' while straightening up from Ruku. The Jama'at does not
say it. Right after saying it (if praying alone) or upon hearing the
imam recite it (if with jama'at), you must say 'Rab'bana lakal hamd',
and stand upright. Then, saying takbir (Allahu Akbar) start to kneel
down for the Sajdah. First place the right knee and then the left knee,
followed by the right and then left hand on the floor. Finally, the nose
and the forehead bones are placed put on ground.
SAJDAH
(prostration)
(i)
In Sajdah, fingers must be closed (no gap in between fingers), pointing
towards the qibla in line with the ears, and the head must be between
hands. It is fard to put the forehead on something clean, such a clean
stone, clean ground, clean wood or clean cloth and it is wajib to put
the nose down too. It is not permissible to put only the nose on the
ground without a good excuse. It is makruh to put only the forehead on
the ground. Thr nose should be pressured enough so that the bone of nose
feel the ground, its very important to keep in account when perfoming
salat on a soft carpet.
(ii) In sajda, you say, 'Subhana Rabbiyal A'la' at least thrice.
(iii)
It is fard to put two feet or at least one finger of any foot on the
ground. If both the feet are not placed on ground, salaat will be
annulled and not be accepted.
(iv) It is sunnat to bend the toes
and turn them towards the qibla. (v) Men must keep their arms and thighs
away from their abdomen.
(vi) Sajda must be done on the ground
on condition that you will press on them until you feel their hardness,
that is until your forehead cannot move downward any more. Same applies
for the nose. Special precaution is required on this issue when
peroforming salat on a carpet.
(vii) It is written in 'Halabi':
"When going into sajda it is Makruh-e-Tehrimi to pull up the skirts of
your loose long robe or your trousers, and it is Makruh-e-Tehrimi to
fold them before beginning salaat. It is Makruh-e-Tehrimi to perform
salaat with folded sleeves, cuffs or skirt." Special attention is needed
on this issue for the people of India and Pakistan who wear Shalwar and
Kurta. If pulled or folded one must repeat the Salat.
(viii) It
is Makruh to perform salaat with a bare head because of laziness or
without realizing the importance of performing salaat with a covered
head. For, not to cover one's head means to disobey the ayat: "Take your
ornamented clothes and cover yourself for salaat!"
(xi) It is sunnat to wrap a turban (Imama)
around the head whether in white or black color as Rasulullah Salallahu
Alaihi Wasallam used these colours or any other color.
(x) Allama
Ibne Abidin Shami Rehmatullahi Ta'ala Alaih said, "Direction towards
qibla is fard for salaat. That is, salaat is performed by turning
towards the direction of the Ka'aba. Salaat is performed for Allah.
Sajda is done for Allah Ta'ala only, not for the Ka'aba. One who makes
sajdah for the Ka'aba becomes a disbeliever."
QAI'DA-I-AKHIRA:
Means
sitting in the last rak'at. it is fard to sit as long as it takes to
say the Athiyyat, "Atthayyato Lillahe Wassalawato Wat Tayyebato Assalamu
Alaika Ayyohan Nabiyo Wa Rehmatullahe Wa Barakatoh Assalamu Alaina Wa
Ala Ibadillahis Sualaiheen Ashadu An La ilaah illal Laho Wa Ashadu Anna
Mohammadan Abdohoo Wa Rasooloohoo" When sitting, men put their left foot
flat on the ground with it toes pointing towards the right. They sit on
this foot. The right foot should be upright, with the toes touching the
ground and bent and pointing towards the qibla.
NOTE 1: Women
sit by Tawarruk. That is, they sit with their buttocks on the ground.
Their thighs should be close to each other. Their feet should jut out
from the right.
NOTE 2: When you reach at Ashadu An La raise your
index finger of your right hand upward facing about 45 degrees by
closing the fist, and drop it back and spread the hand to its original
position at illal Laho.
KHUROOJ BI SUN'EEHI:
To
signify the completion of prayer by word or action. It means to finish
out prayer by saying or doing something. Salaat is completed by saying,
"Assalamo Alaikum Wa Rehmatullah" First by moving head towards right and
saying it, then towards left and saying it. PRAYER AFTER THE SALAAT:
(i) It is mustahab (good) for the imam to turn right or left or towards the jama'at.
(ii)
It is stated in a hadith, 'If a person says, "Astaghfirullah
Al'azim-il-llazi La ilaha illa Huw-al-hayy-ul-qayyuma Wa Atubu ilayh",
after every prayer of salaat, all his sins will be forgiven.
(iii)
Imam and the followers raise their hands as high as their chest and
pray (Dua) for themselves and for all muslims. A hadith declares,
'Prayers (Dua) sent after the five daily fard will be accepted.'
(Tirmidhi). But the prayers (Dua) must be done with a vigilant heart.
Not with fingers turned towards the qibla, arms not opened apart in the
right-left direction, arms too close to each other, too far forward etc.
(iv)
While saying Dua, the fact is that it is mustahab (good) to say salaat
and salaam upon RasoolAllah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam),
(v) After making your Prayers (Dua), it is sunnat to rub the hands gently on the face. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN PERFORMING SALAAT:
(i)
When beginning to perform salaat, a woman raises both hands up to the
level of her shoulders. While standing she puts her right hand on the
left hand. However, she does not grasp her left wrist the fingers of her
right hand. She puts her hands on her breast. While making ruku, her
hands are placed on the knees, but do not grasp them. She keeps her
fingers close together. She does not keep her legs straight, nor her
back level. While making sajda, she lowers herself, bringing her arms to
her side while she keeps her abdomen placed over her thighs. She sits
on the buttocks, her legs inclined towards right.
(ii) A woman cannot be imam for men. If they follow a man as imam, they should be in last line of the jama'at.
(iii)
While performing salaat in jama'at, if a woman stands besides or in
front of a man, the man salaat will be Fasid (nullified). PAINFUL TORMENT AT THE TIME OF DEATH, IN GRAVE, ON THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT AND IN HELL.
A
hadith shareef, quoted in the book 'Qurratul'uyun,' declares, "If a
person does not perform salaat though he has no good excuse, Allah
ta'ala will give him fifteen kinds of punishment. Six of them will come
in the world, three will come at the time of death, three will come in
the grave, and three will come when rising from the grave. The six
plagues in the world are:
1-Person who does not perform salaat will not have barakat {blessings} in his life.
2-He will not have the beauty afforded to those who are loved by Allah ta'ala.
3-He will not be given reward for any good he does.
4-His supplications (duas) will not be accepted.
5-No one will like him.
6-Supplications that (other) Muslims invoke for him will do him no good. Kinds of torment he will suffer when dying are:
1-He will expire in an abhorrent, unsightly, repugnant manner.
2-He will die hungry.
3-No matter how much water he has, he will die with painful thirst. Kind of torment he will suffer in the grave are:
1-The grave will squeeze him. His bones will intertwine.
2-His grave will be filled with fire, which will scorch him day and night.
3-Allah
Ta'ala will send a huge snake to his grave. It is not like terrestrial
serpents. It will sting him at every prayer time each day. It will never
leave him alone any moment. Kinds of torment he will suffer after rising are:
1-Angels of torment will drag him to hell will never leave him alone.
2-Allah Ta'ala will meet him with wrath.
3-His
accounts will be settled in a very vehement manner, and he will be
flung into hell. (May Allah save us) On the other hand, we see that one
who performs salaat five times a day his sins are forgiven. As it is
stated in the hadith, RasoolAllah (salallahu alaihi wasallam) asked his
companions: "If there were a river in front of one's house and if he
washed himself in this river five times every day, would there be any
dirt left on him?" We (Jabir bin Abdullah and other sahaba present
there) said, "No, O Rasulallah." Allah's most beloved Prophet (salallahu
alaihi wasallam) said, "Likewise minor sins of those who perform the
five daily prayers are forgiven." Ibn Jawzi (may Allah be pleased with
him) wrote in his tafsir Elmugni: Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased
with him) said that, "When the time of a daily prayer of salaat comes,
Angels say, 'O the sons of Adam, stand up! Extinguish the fire prepared
to burn human beings by performing salaat.
Method of praying Qaza Salahs Quickly
If
someone has missed Salahs in their account. Either one time's or of
many years, they must pray their Qaza as soon as possible. Salah is a
Fard and not forgiven. On the day of judgement Salah will be the first
thing asked about.
For the people who have many years of missed
Salahs. There is a way to pray them quickly. Following instructions have
four exceptions and has all Fards and Wajibs for a complete Salat.
Please pray your Qaza as soon as possible. Even of you could pray one
days Qaza Salahs every day which are only 20 rakahs (3 wajib witr),
please do it. It only takes few mins to perform 20 rakahs according to
the following instructions.
1) In Ruku and
Sajdah instead of reciting "Subhaana Rabbiyal Azeem" and "Subhaana
Rabbiyal A'la" three times, say it only once. But make sure do not leave
Ruku posture untill the Meem (M) of Azeem has been said properly.
Similarly do not leave the posture of Sajdah until Ala has been said
completely. Just make sure to say these Tasbeehaat properly and do not
rush.
2) In third and four Rakah of Fard Salah
instead of reciting the whole Soorah Fatiha say "Subhan Allah" three
times and go to Ruku, . Make sure "Subhan Allah" has been recited three
times properly, do not rush. This exeption is only for Fard. In third
rakah of Witr it's a must to recite full Soorah Fatiha followed by at
least three ayahs of Quran or a soorah (as we usually do in first and
second rakah). 3) In last Qaidah (when we sit
for Attahyyat) before Salam, after Attahyyat instead of full Durood and
Dua just say, "Allah Humma Salle Ala Sayedena Mohammad Wa Aalihi", then
finish the Salat with Salam. Dua is not a must here.
4) In Witr, instead of full Dua-e-Qunoot just say "Rabbigh Fir Lee" one or three times.
(Fatawa Rizvia, Part 3, Page 622)
Salatul Tasbih - For forgiveness of All Sins
Benefits of Salat-Ul-Tasbih
Our
Beloved Prophet Mohammed (Sallallaho Alihiwa Sallam) said to his uncle
Sayyiduna Abbass (may Allah be pleased with him), "Oh uncle, Shall I not
give you? Shall I not grant you? Shall I not award you? Shall I not do
mercy on you? When you do 10 things Allah will forgive your sins: of the
future and of the past; new and old; those you have forgotten and those
you did knowingly; big and small; hidden and revealed."
Then he
(Sallallaho Alihiwassallam) explained the taught the way to pray
Salatul Tasbih and then said if you can pray this salah once a day, if
you can not pray once a day then every Friday, and even if this is not
possible then once a month and even if this is not possible then once a
year and even if this is not possible then at least once in a lifetime
(Abu Dawood & Tirimzi) How to perform Salatul Tasbih
This
salaat (namaz) is offered in four rakat at a time and can be read in
any part of the day and night besides Zawal and Sunrise and Sunset
makrooh times, keeping in mind the forbidden times for performing Salat
(namaaz). But is is preferred before Zuhr (Fatawa Alamgeeri)
The Tasbih to be read in Salaat-Ul-Tasbeeh:
" Subhaan Allahi Wal Hamdulillahi Wa Laa ilaha illal Laahu Wallahu Akbar "
Method:
Goal is to recite above Tasbih 300 times in Four Rakah with the following method. In the first rakaat, after reading Sana "Subhaana Kallahumma...", read the tasbih 15 times.
Now
recite "Aoozubillah...", "Bismillah...", Then read sura Fatiha and a
Surah or minimum of three small Ayayhs then read the tasbih 10 times
again.
Go to ruku saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar), after
reciting "Subhaana Rabbiyal Azeem" minimum of three times read the
tasbih 10 times in Ruku.
Saying "Samee Allahu Liman Hamidah Rabbana Lakal Hamdh" get up from ruku to qiyam position.
Now read the tasbih 10 times.
Go
to Sajdah saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar) and after reciting "Subhaana
Rabbiyal A'la" minimum of three times read the tasbih 10 times in
Sajdah.
Now go after first Sajdah go to Jalsa (sitting position)
saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar). Sitting in Jalsa read tasbih 10 times.
Go
to sajda again saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar) and after reciting
"Subhaana Rabbiyal A'la" minimum of three times read the tasbih 10 times
in Sajdah again.
Get up to begin 2nd rakat saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar).
Do
rakah #2 in same fashion, but before reading Bismillah "Bismillah...",
and Surah Fatiha, read the tasbih 15 times. Follow the rest as you did
in first Rakat.
After second Sajdah of Second Rakat sit in Qaidah
Oola (first sitting) read Attahiyat, Durood and Dua then get up for 3rd
rakaat without saying Salam.
Begin third Rakat, just like the first Rakat, with Sana "Subhaana Kallahumma...", read the above tasbih 15 times.
Follow the rest as you did in first Rakat untill you sit for Qaidah Akihra (last sitting) after second sajdah of fourth Rakah.
In Qaidah Akihra Attahiyat, Durood, Dua finish Salah with Salam. Special notes for Salat-Ul-Tasbih:
1) Do not count loudly. It will break Salah
2) Do not count on fingers or by holding a Bead Tasbih in hand. It is Makruh.
3)
You may count by pressing the fingers as a reminder. For example if you
are in Ruku. You me press pinky of your right hand first for the first
count, then the finger next to it for second count, then the middle
finger for third count, following this method untill you reach the pinky
of left hand will give you an exact count of ten. Use the same method
in Qayam, Sajdah and Jalsa.
4) If missed a count then make it up
in the next posture. For example if forgot to recite Tasbih after Surah
in Qayam. Then you may recite Tasbish 20 times instead of 10 in Rukuh
after "Subhaana Rabbiyal Azeem". Missed Tasbih cannot be recited in
Qayam after ruku and Jalsa between Sajdah. If you missed the Tasbih in
Ruku then recite 20 in the first Sajdah instead of the Qayam after
rukuh. Similarly if missed the Tasbih in first Sajdah then do not make
it up in Jalsa. Instead recite missed tasbih in the second Sajdah. If
Tasbih has been missed in last sajdah of second or fourth Rakah then you
can recite the missed ones before Attahiyat in Qaidah.
5) If you
miss a wajib in Salah and have to do Sajdah Sahaw. You dont have to
recite Tasbih in Sajdah sahoo, since the 300 count has been estalished.
But if you had missed Tasbih in any of the postures and remeber it now.
Then you may recite the missed Tasbih in Sajdah Sahaw now.
6) It
is preferable to recite after Surah Fatiha Sura Takathuur in the first
raka’, Surah Wal A’sr in the second raka’, Surah Kaferoon (qul ya
aiyuhal Kafiroon) in the third and Surah Akhlas (Qul hu Allah-hu ahd) in
the fourth raka’. If one does not remember these surah they can recite
the ones they prefer.
May Allah accept this dua’ (supplication)
for the sake of the trustworthy PROPHET MOHAMMED (Allah’s Grace &
Peace be upon him)
With Wuzu, face towards the Qibla and stand so that there is a gap of four fingers between your feet. Take each hand to each ear and touch the lobes of the ears with the thumbs and leave the rest of the fingers in their normal state, don't join them together or spread them apart.
Face the palms of the hands towards the Qibia and your sight is to look at the sijdah. Then make a firm intention in your heart as to which Namaz you are praying and while saying 'Allah-o-Akbar' lower your hands and join them below the naval. The way to join the hands is to have the palm of the right hand on top of the back of the left hand wrist, keep the middle three fingers straight and circle the left wrist with the thumb and the little finger firmly grasping the hand.
Then pray 'Sana' meaning Subhanakallah Humma Wa Bihamdika Wa Tabarakasmuka Wa Ta'ala Jadduka Wa Laa ila'ha Ghairuk" . Then pray Ta'awwuz meaning "A'oozu Billahi Minas Shaitaanir Rajeem" and then pray Tasmee'a meaning "Bismillah' ir'rahman'ir' Raheem" .
Then pray the whole of the 'Alhamdo' Surat and say 'Aameen' quietly. After this, pray any Surat or three ayats or one ayat which is equivalent to three small ayats.
Then whilst saying Allah-o-Akbar go into the Rukooh. Grasp the knees with the hands and spread your fingers over the knees. Keep your back straight and your head level with your back and make sure that you are not too far up or kneeling to low down and keep your sight on your feet and pray at least three times "Subhana Rabbi'al Azueem' and then pray this whilst standing up 'Sami Allahu Liman Hamidah' and if you are praying Namaz alone then also say 'Allahumma Rabbana Walakal Hamd' and then while saying Allah-o-Akbar go into the Sijdah.
The way to do this is to first put your knees on the ground, then put your hands at the side of the place where your are going to put your head and then place your head by first placing your nose on the ground and then your forehead and then press hard on your nose. Look towards your nose and keep your elbows up so that they don't touch the ground and leave a gap between your armpits and make sure that there is a gap between your thighs and your stomach. Place all your toes so that their tips are pointing towards the Qibla and their bases are flat on the ground. Keep your hands flat and have your fingers pointing towards the Qibla. Then pray at least three times 'Subhana Rabbi al A'ala'.
Then lift your head up while saying Allah-o-Akbar with first lifting your forehead then your nose then your face and then your hands. Keep your right foot upright and lay your left foot flat and sit on it firmly. Place your hands on your knees with the finger tips pointing towards the Qibla and the palm of your hands flat near your knees and the base of the .fingertips laid flat at the end of your kneecaps.
Then whilst saying 'Allah-o-Akbar' go back into the Sijdah and this is done in the same way as the first one. Then stand up by placing your hands on your knees and putting pressure on your knees and legs stand upright, don't put your hands on the ground to assist you to stand up. Now pray only 'Bismillah'ir' Rahmaan'ir' Raheem' and then Alhamdo and another Surat and as before perform Rukooh and Sijdah, and when getting up from the second Sijdah leave your right foot upright and lay your left foot flat and sit upright. And pray •AttahiyyaatuLillahi Was Salawato Wattayyibatu Assalamu Alaika Ayyuhannabi 'o 'Warahmatullahi Wabarka'tuhu Assalamu Alaina Wa'ala'Ibadillahis Sa'liheen, Ash'had'u'un La ilahaillallahu Wa Ash'hadu Anna MuhammadunAbd'uhu Wa Rasooluh', This is known as Tashahhud.
When you are reaching La'ilaha make a circle in your right hand by joining the thumb with the middle finger and curl the small and it's adjacent finger with the middle finger and on the word La lift your index finger but don't move side to side and when you reach 'illallahu' straighten your hand back to normal. Now if you have more than two Ra.kats to pray then stand back up and pray more Rakats, but for a Farz Namaz there is no need to join another Surat after Alhamdo and then continue and when you reach your last Qaidah (sitting position) pray Tashahhud and then pray the DuroodSharif called Durood-e-lbrahim'Allahumma Salleh Ala Sayyidina Muhammadin Wa'ala' Aale Sayyidina Muhammadin Kama Sallaiyta Ala Sayyidina Ibraheema Wa' Ala Aale Sayyidina Ibraheema InnakaHameedum Majeed -Allahumma Baarak Ala Sayyidina Muhammadin Wa' Ala Aale Sayyidina Muhammadin Kama Baarakta Ala Sayyidina Ibraheem Wa' Ala Aale Sayyidina Ibraheema Innaka Hameedum Majeed' After this pray'Allahumag Firii Wali Wale Dayya Wal Ustaad'e Wal Jamee'il Mu'mineena Wal Mu'meenat Wal Muslimeena Wal MuslimatAI'Ahya'eMinhum Wal Amwaat'e Innaka MujeebudDa'waatBirahmatikaYa Ar'hamarr'ahimeen' or pray another Dua-e-Ma'soor or pray 'Allahumma Rabbana Aatina Fid DuniyaHasanatawWafil Akhirati Hasanataw Wa QinaAzaabanNaar' Make sure you pray this by starting it with 'Allahumma' and then turn your head towards your right shoulder and say'Assalamu Alai'kumWarah'matullah' and then turn your head towards your left shoulder and repeat the same words again.
The Namaz has now finished, so raise both your hands and pray any Dua for example'Allahumma Rabbana Aatina Fid Duniya Hasanataw Wafil Akhirati Hasanataw Wa Qina Azaaban Naar' then rub your hands over your face. This is the method for an Imam or a male praying Namaz on their own.
If however, you are a Muqtadee meaning praying in congregation (Jamaat) and behind an Imam then don't perform Qiraayat meaning don't pray 'Alhamdo' or a Surat, whether the Imam is praying loudly or quietly. Qiraayat is not allowed in any Namaz if it is being prayed behind an Imam.
If the Namazee is a female then at the Takbeer-e-Tahrima she should lift her hands only upto her shoulders and then place her left hand on her chest and the right hand on top of it. When performing Rukoo she should only bend a little so that her hands reach her knees and she should not put pressure on her knees and keep her fingers tightly together and not to straighten her back like males.
When performing Sijdah she should crawl up and perform Sijdah so that the arms are joined with the sides, her stomach is joined with her thighs and her thighs are crawled up with her shins and her feet are pointing outwards and are flat. In Qaidah she should have both her feet pointing outwards towards the right and are flat. She should sit on her left buttock and keep her hands in the middle of her thighs.
