H ow is S alaat-us- T aubah P erformed?

Alee ( ) who said that Aboo Bakr ( )told him
that he heard the Messenger of Allaah ( ) say:
There is no servant who commits a sin and then he
purifies himself (wudoo')and then prays two rakaahs
and then seeks forgiveness of Allaah except that
Allaah forgives him.
[Ahmad, Aboo dawood eng trans. Vol. 1 #1516 and others]
Taken from THE THREE ABANONED PRAYERS by
Shaykh 'Adnaan Aali 'Uroor
Hadith - Bukhari 8.800B, Narrated Ikrima from IbnAbbas
Allah's Apostle said,"When a slave (of Allah) commits illegal sexual
intercourse, he is not a believer at the time of committing it; and if
he steals, he is not a believerat the time of stealing; and if he
drinks an alcoholic drink, when he is not a believer at the time of
drinking it; and he is not a believer whenhe commits a murder."
'Ikrima said: I asked Ibn Abbas, "How is faith taken away from him?"
He said, Like this," by clasping his hands and then separating them,
and added, "But if he repents, faith returns to him like this," by
claspinghis hands again.
A named condition for the forgiveness of Allah (swt) is the returning
to obedience in the matter...
The Noble Qur'an - Az-Zumar 39:54
And turn in repentance and in obedience with true Faith (Islâmic
Monotheism) to your Lord and submit to Him, (in Islâm), before the
torment comes upon you,then you will not be helped.
The Noble Qur'an - An-Nisa 4:17-18
Allâh accepts only the repentance of those whodo evil in ignorance and
foolishness and repent soon afterwards; it is they to whom Allâh will
forgive and Allâh is Ever All­Knower, All­Wise.
And of no effect is the repentance of those whocontinue to do evil
deedsuntil death faces one of them and he says: "Now Irepent;" nor of
those who die while they are disbelievers. For them Wehave prepared a
painful torment.

Salaat-ut-Taubah

Because man is weak in resolve,
"...And Man was created weak." [Soorah an-Nisaa 4:28]
"Allaah wishes to make clear to you and to show the
ways of those before youand accept your repentance
and Allaah is All-Knower, All Wise." [soorah an-Nissa 4:26]
Abee Hamza Anas ibn Maalik al-Ansaaree
said that the Messenger of Allaah ( ) said:
Allaah is more pleased with the repentance of His
servant than one of you who falls off his camel
and loses it in a baren desert land. [al-Bukharee vol8#321]
Thus, there is no duty upon you - O servant ofAllaah -
except that you should make Allaah happy
with your repentance and bring happiness
to your own soul by its repenting to its Lord
and by standing upright before its Originator.
T he C onditions of T aubah are as F ollows
1. C essation of the sin.
2. Regret and remorse of the heart.
3. F irm resolve not to return to the sin.
4.
R eturning the right of the oppressed, in that which is
particular to the rights of man.

The Salat of a Woman

Question: What are the differences between the salat of a woman and
that of a man?
ANSWER
They are as follows:
1. A woman, before starting salat , raises her hands up to her
shoulders. She does not make a circle round the wrist of her left hand
using the fingers of her right hand. She places her hands on her
breast with the palm of her right hand on the back ofher left hand.
2. When bowing for ruku , she does not join her left foot to her right
foot.She bends her waist a little. She does not keep her head level
with her back. She bends her knees and puts her handson them. She does
not grasp her knees or spread her fingers over them.
3. In sajda (prostration) position, she should place her arms on the
floor in a manner close toher abdomen and keep her abdomen over her
thighs.
4. In the sitting position ( tashahhud ), she sits on the floor
sticking out her feet to the right. She keeps her fingers close
together.
5. A woman does not stretch her hands forward while making du'a , but
she keeps theminclined toward her face.
6. It is not mustahab for her to perform Salat al-Fajr late within its
time. It is better for her to perform it as soon as the time for it
starts.
7. She does not recite in aloud tone during salat . She recites in a
low voice the Takbir of Tashrik , which is said after fard salats
during Eid al-Adha . (Radd-ul-mukhtar, Tahtawi)
Question: It is written in the books Halabi and Radd-ul-mukhtar that
it is sunnat to bring the feet together when one is bowing for ruku .
Does this ruling apply to women as well?
ANSWER
No, women do not bring their feet together. It applies only to men.
Question: Sometimes my hair is accidentally uncovered during salat . I
cover it some time later. Does my salat become invalid?
ANSWER
Hair is awrah (the part to be covered) for a woman. If her awrah
partremains open for a time during which one can say" Subhanallah "
three times, her salat will become nullified. If she covers it
immediately by using one hand, her salat will not be nullified. It is
written in some fiqh books that her salat will be invalid if she
covers it by using both hands. For this reason, she should try to
cover it with one hand.
Question: Is it permissible for women to perform Salat az-Zuhr before
men exit the mosque after Salat al-Jumu'ah ?
ANSWER
Yes, they can perform it.
Question: If my hair remains open as long as one rukn , will my salat
become invalid? How long does a rukn continue?
ANSWER
The duration of a rukn is important in matters concerning a salat 's
becoming invalid and sajda-i sahw . Therefore, one should know it
well.
The fard s (obligatory elements) within salat aretermed a rukn each.
There are five rukns : qiyam (standing), qiraat (recitation from the
Qur'an al-karim), ruku (bowing), sujud (prostration), and sitting in
the final tashahhud .
If the hair of a woman is opened during any of these rukns , her salat
will be nullified if she cannot cover it in a time in which she can
recite one verse or say " Subhanallah " three times. The standard
duration for one rukn is to say " Subhanallah " three times at a
normal pace.
If a person, getting confused on how many rak'ats of salat he has
performed, thinks and thus extends one rukn by one additional rukn and
hence delays the next rukn for a time during which one can say "
Subhanallah " three times, he has to make sajda-i sahw , even if he
said some verses or tasbihat in the interim.
Question: Is it makruh if a woman's head covering moves downward on
her forehead when she is making prostration?
ANSWER
Yes, it is makruh . The forehead must touch the place of sajda nakedly.
Question: Physically able women perform salat sitting where it is
likely that non- mahram men will see them, such as on farms and in
mosques. Is it not fard (obligatory) to perform salat standing? Isit
permissible to perform it sitting lest non- mahram men see them?
ANSWER
It is not permissible. It is fard to perform a fard salat standing.
Only a sick person who cannot standis allowed to perform it sitting.
It is not permissible for women toperform salat sitting lest non-
mahram men see them. (Radd-ul-mukhtar, Hindiyya)
Question: Is it permissible for a woman to perform salat barefoot?
ANSWER
There is nothing wrong with it if she wears a long skirt that covers her feet.
Question: If a woman has missed salats for years, should she work out
the number of them by deducting the number of salats missed due to
menstruation?
ANSWER
Yes, she should.
Question: When a womanis performing salat , is there anything wrong
with her jewels being visible?
ANSWER
It is better if they are not.
Question: Is it better for a woman to perform salat in jama'at with
her husband or her mahram relatives at home than to perform it
individually?
ANSWER
Yes, it is better.
Question: Will a woman's salat be invalid if one-fourth of her area
between her knee and foot is uncovered accidentally?
ANSWER
Yes, her salat will be invalid.
Question: Is it permissible for a woman to perform salat by covering
her facewith a thin cloth?
ANSWER
No, it is not permissible.
Question: I have a skirt that I wear during salat . There is a cross
picture on it. Is it makruh to perform salat in it, just as it is
makruh to perform salat in a skirt with pictures?
ANSWER
Yes, it is makruh .
Question: I have heard from some people who work in the production of
lipstick and nail polish that they contain placenta. Is there anything
wrong with performing salat when a woman is wearing lipstick or nail
polish?
ANSWER
Nail polish does not let water reach the nails. Therefore, even if it
is not made from placenta, one's wudu will not be valid if one
performs it when having nail polish on one's nails.
Question: Will a woman's salat become nullified if her wig appears
under her headscarf?
ANSWER
It will not become nullified.
Question: If a woman follows one of the ruling of the Maliki Madhhab
out of necessity, should she undo her braid before performing wudu' or
ghusl ?
ANSWER
In the Maliki Madhhab , a woman does not have to undo her braid before
performing wudu' . She applies masah over her hair, together with her
braid.

The recitations of selected aya(t) of Holy Qur'an in Tarteel tune
areby Shiekh Abdul Bassit Abdul Sumed and have been reproduced on this
site with permission fromMECAH Enterprises.
Let us refer to ta'wil of the word 'Ism a'zam (Supreme Name of God):
"Imam Jafar as-Sâdiq has said: "Allah has concealedone name, i.e., the
supreme Name and He has 360 names." (Lughât, Sin, p. 175). The supreme
Name or the great secret is in two forms: as a wordand as a person. As
a word, it is "al-hayy'l-qayyûm" (the Everling, the Everlasting)
(2:255); 3:2) and as a person it is the True Guide, i.e., the Prophet
and Imam of the time (See Wajh, p. 124-29." [Source: Tawil 64: A
Thousand Wisdoms]
'Allahu laaa 'ilaaha 'illaa Huu 'Al-Hayyul-Qayyuum (Allah! There is no
God save Him, the Alive, the Eternal) is the first sentence of Ayatul
Kursi, the most important ayat of the Holy Qur'an 2:255). From Ismaili
point of view, we say that the beloved NOOR Mowlana Hazir Imam is
living and his Noor is eternal. Therefore, today we will implore him
with this most powerful prayer.
