Understand what you say in prayer

Sources and learning notes

Maliki practice · A two-rak‘ah prayer prayed alone. For Subh, include the recommended qunut in the second rak‘ah. Illustrations simplify the main postures; learn fine details and individual adaptations with a qualified teacher.

Maliki sequence and distinctive practices: Ibn Abi Zayd’s Ar-Risala, chapter 10. Calm transitions: Bukhari 757. Prostration: Bukhari 812. Each phrase has its source below. Meanings of prayer phrases are teaching explanations, separate from published Quran translations. The tashahhud here follows Ar-Risala; the linked salah lesson uses another authentic wording. Illustrations supplied for this guide; teaching notes and illustrations have not yet had specialist review.
