Description of the Prophets Prayer

Salah (prayer) is a fundamental act of worship in Islam, and its significance cannot be overstated. Muslims strive to perfect their prayer, as it is the first thing they will be questioned about by Allah on the Day of Judgment. This dedication to prayer is reflected in the extensive Islamic literature that covers its rulings and intricate details.

Sifat al-Salatun-Nabi is a distinguished work by the late Imam and scholar of hadeeth, Muhammad Nasirudin Al-Albani (may Allah bestow His Mercy upon him). The original Arabic text presented a fresh approach to the topic, and we are pleased to offer an abridged English version.

The author expressed his intent clearly: "I did not come across a book (on prayer) that covered the topic comprehensively, so I felt obliged to produce a book that collected together as many features of the Prophet's prayer (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as possible, from the takbeer (opening of the prayer) to the tasleem (conclusion of the prayer)." He adhered strictly to the authentic Sunnah while compiling this work.

This book serves as a study text and a valuable primer, setting a standard for reviving the method of prayer and enhancing our servitude to Allah in the Prophetic manner. We hope this English version will assist Muslims in following the guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in their daily worship and act as a catalyst for those who love the Prophet (may Allah bestow His Mercy upon him) to fulfill his command: "Pray as you have seen me praying."
