Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim, start your actions accompanied by the name of Allah.

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim
(In the Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Most Kind).

"Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim " is the first of the first chapter Surah al-Fatiha of the Quran. The fact that the word of Allah, the Quran, Starts with this first verse, alone signifies the importance of this verse and further emphasizes the need to start all our tasks in the name of Allah (God).

When one says "Bismillah" before starting anything, it means " I start this action accompanied by the name of Allah or seeking help through the name of Allah", seeking blessing thereby.

Islamic Prayer Iqamah (Iqämah/Iqama)

After the Adhan; when the muslims are assembled at the place of worship, a second call (iqamah) is recited by one of the group. This signals the start of the congregational salah. It is similar to adhan except that it is recited faster but in a lower tone.  Here are the words to the iqama: اللهُ اكْبَرُ اللهُ اكْبَرْ   Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar God is Great, God is Great اَشْهَدُ اَن لَّا اِلَه اِلَّا لله اَشْهَدُ اَنَّ مُحَمَدًا رَّسُولُ الله Ash-hadu allaa illaha ilAllah , - Ash-hadu anna Muhammadar Rasul-Allah I bear witness that there is no God But Allah, - I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ Hayya ‘alas s alaah , - Hayya ‘alal falaah Come to the prayer, - Come to the Success قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ   Qad qaamatis salaah, - Qad qaamatis salaah The prayer is being established, - the prayer is being establi...

Rules of Tajweed - Ghunna غُنَّة

Ghunna - غُنَّة (Nasalization) Any نّ  or مّ  will have a sound that emanates from the nose. You encounter Ghunna's in the Quran hundreds of times and it adds to the flow and beauty of the Quran. The duration of the Ghunnah (غُنَّة)  sound is for 2 counts. Example from the Quran: Surah 114, Ayat 1-6 قُلۡ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱل نَّ اسِ ١ مَلِكِ ٱل نَّ اسِ ٢ إِلَٰهِ  ٱل نَّ اسِ ٣ مِن شَرِّ ٱلۡوَسۡوَاسِ ٱلۡخَ نَّ اسِ ٤ ٱلَّذِي  يُوَسۡوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ ٱل نَّ اسِ ٥ مِنَ ٱلۡجِ نَّ ةِ وَٱل نَّ اسِ ٦ Surah 111, Ayat 4 وَٱمۡرَأَتُهُۥ حَ مَّ الَةَ ٱلۡحَطَبِ ٤ Surah 74, Ayat 20-23 ثُ مَّ قُتِلَ كَيۡفَ قَدَّرَ ٢٠ ثُ مَّ نَظَرَ ٢١ ثُ مَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ  ٢٢ ثُ مَّ أَدۡبَرَ وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرَ ٢٣ NOTE: This page contains Arabic text and I strongly advice you get the  free Firefox web  browser, as this browser seems to render this page far better than any other browser.

Qunoot (Arabic: القنوت‎‎ or also known as Dua e Qunoot) is generally being recited during i’tidal or standing during the last rakaat during the Fajr (Dhuha) and Witr prayers. It is sunnah (recommended) to supplicate with qunut in the Fajr and witr prayer, however, different mazhab has different opinions with regards to it which we are not going to delve into that for now. Individual:- اَللّهُمَّ اهْدِنِىْ فِيْمَنْ هَدَيْتَ Allah hummah dinii fiiman hadait. وَعَافِنِى فِيْمَنْ عَافَيْتَ Wa’aa finii fiiman ‘aafait. وَتَوَلَّنِىْ فِيْمَنْ تَوَلَّيْتَ Watawallanii fiiman tawal-laiit. وَبَارِكْ لِىْ فِيْمَا اَعْطَيْتَ Wabaariklii fiimaa a’thait. وَقِنِيْ شَرَّمَا قَضَيْتَ، Waqinii syarramaa qadhait. فَاِ نَّكَ تَقْضِىْ وَلاَ يُقْضَى عَلَيْكَ Fainnaka taqdhii walaa yuqdha ‘alaik. وَاِ نَّهُ لاَ يَذِلُّ مَنْ وَالَيْتَ Wainnahu laayadzilu man walait. وَلاَ يَعِزُّ مَنْ عَادَيْتَ Walaa ya’izzu man ‘aadait. تَبَارَكْتَ رَبَّنَا وَتَعَالَيْتَ Tabaa rakta rabbanaa wata’aa...
