How to Perform the Five Obligatory Prayers

There are five prayers which must be performed by the Muslims and are called obligatory prayers. They are Dhuhr (Noon) prayer, ʿAsr (afternoon) prayer, Maghrib (sunset) prayer, ʿIshaa’ (Nightfall) prayer and Fajr (Dawn) prayer. It is a great sin to neglect performing any of these obligatory prayers. Among the merits of performing the obligatory prayers is that one’s small sins, which may be committed between prayers, are forgiven.

Fasting six days of Shawwal

The beginning of the month of Ṣafar 1448 is on Thursday, July 16, 2026 According to ʿAbdu l-Lāh son of Hichām: The companions of the Messenger of Allāh learned this invocation that they said when a new year or a new month began: « اللَّهُمَّ أَدْخِلْهُ عَلَيْنَا بِالْأَمْنِ وَالْإِيمَانِ، وَالسَّلَامَةِ وَالْإِسْلَامِ، وَرِضْوَانٍ مِنَ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَجِوَارٍ (أيْ حِفْظٍ) مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ » Which means: « O Allāh, let his arrival be accompanied by safety and faith, protection and Islam, approval from Ar-Raḥmān, and preservation against the chayṭān ».

Miracles of our Prophet Muḥammad

The miracles of the prophet are numerous. Among the miracles of the Prophet, Sallallâhu ʿalayhi wa sallam, and the best Miracle that can still be seen today, is the miracle of the Holy Qur’ân, The Qur’ân is a miracle which stands as proof of the truthfulness of our Master Muḥammad, Salla lLâhu ʿalayhi wa sallam, and that he was a Prophet sent by Allâh.

The Holy Books

All holy books taught that Islam is the only true religion. That means all Prophets and Messengers were Muslims, that is, they believed in one God, and that this God is the only true God and he only deserves to be worshipped. The laws in the Quraan differed from previous laws of other Prophets. But the religion is one, ISLAM.

Allah God has no Beginning

Allah existed without beginning, that is, before creating creation. There was nothing with Allah: no place, no space, no sky, no Earth, no light and no darkness. According to the rules of religion and the judgments of the sound mind, Allah, the Exalted, does not change. Development is a sign of need for others, and whoever needs it is not God.
