[3:43]farewell to this world perform it in the best way don't rush

[3:50]it and try to focus with your heart categorically States whomsoever performs

[4:40]their clothes indeed Imam Ali salaam is reported to have said don't

[4:46]play with your beard or anything else that distracts you during prayer

[4:51]try to have which is humility and all of God in your

[4:54]heart so that the limbs will be humble too in another instance

[4:59]warns of praying whilst tired or sleepy he States if you're praying

[5:06]and your eyes are sleepy stop the prayer and go to sleep

[5:10]four if you actually continue you don't know whether you're praying for

[5:14]yourself or against yourself the sixth the unnecessary delay quoting an Ayah

[5:21]from the Holy Quran chapter 74 verses 42 and 43 where Allah

[5:24]subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us how some of the inhabitants of hell

[5:29]are asked why they're being punished actually answer we were not of

[5:34]those who prayed Islam strongly encourages the respecting of The Prayer by

[5:39]performing it at its time and not unnecessarily delaying it or in

[6:00]about the meaning of the actions of prayer Imam Ali salaam replied

[6:04]your Tak beer means Allah is above being described in Ruku after

[6:12]a while he States when you extend your neck it means I'm

[6:15]willing to be beheaded because of my faith when you raise your

[6:21]head after Ruku you testify that Allah is the one who has

[6:24]brought us into existence actually hears Us in the first frustration of

[6:31]sujud you think about how he created us from soil then raising

[6:34]the head means Allah has given us life and then the second

[6:39]Sage that refers to being buried raise our head second time it

[6:43]refers to being resurrected on the day of judgment he continues describing

[6:47]other parts of prayer until he states whomsoever does not comprehend this

[6:52]their prayers are income the aftermath after prayer sit to reflect and

[6:59]perform some liquor commends this he says if you do so the

[7:02]angels will keep praying for you and I so long as we're

[7:07]sitting on the prayer mat recommends for example the recitation of Ayatul

[7:12]Kursi after Salah where he States it helps in the acceptance of

[7:18]the prayer and of course it is a means by which we

[7:19]gain protection and blessings from Allah in Unity One Thing heard about

[7:27]a group of people who live close to the Masjid but to

[7:32]refuse to pray in congregation he then said they should attend and

[7:36]take part in Salah otherwise let them turn away from us he

[7:39]would emphasize this prayer of congregation even between the husband and wife

[8:09]night in the Battle of zafine known as one someone who tried

[8:16]to perform salatulate could not ask Imam Ali why he couldn't Imam

[8:20]said to him it's because the sins are stopping him from the

[8:24]performance of the night's prayer the commander of the faithful therefore advises

[8:28]us to perform night prayer because according to him it's the health

[8:32]of the body pleasure of the Lord and the downpouring of Mercy

[8:37]as well as following of the prophets may Allah grant us to

[8:44]fear and permission to follow in the footsteps of this great human
