Everything mentioned in the manners of Salat, apart from the conditions of Salat and its essential and compulsory parts, are all recommended acts. Omitting any of this does not affect the validity of Salat, and it is not mandatory to prostrate due to forgetting when any of them is left out.

Salat is one of the five pillars of Islam, it is an imposition (fard) from Allah, Muslims have to perform physically.

1- salat is a source of light (means of guidance) for the one who performs it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Salah is light.” [ Source: Muslim]

2- As-Salah is a means of expiating sins. Allah, the Magnificent and Majestic, says: “And establish As-Salah at the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night (i.e. the five compulsory prayers). Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds. That is a reminder for the mindful.” (Hud: 114)

The Prophet ﷺ said: “Don’t you see that if there was a river at the door of any of you, and from this river, one bathes five times daily, will there remain any daranihi[ dirt.] on him?” They (the Companions) (may Allah be pleased with them) replied, “There won’t remain any dirt on him.” He ﷺ said: “And that is the similitude of the five daily prayers, with them Allah expiates sins.” [ Agreed upon.]

3- As-Salah is a reason for entering Paradise. The Prophet ﷺ said to Rabee’ah Ibn Ka’b t, when he asked to be able to accompany the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in paradise: “Then, aid me in that by making many prostrations.” [ Source: Muslim.]

Voluntary charity is recommended at all times, especially when needed, and we have been encouraged to give charity in the book of Allah and the traditions of His Messenger ﷺ. For example:

- Allah’s statement: “Who is he that will lend to Allah a goodly loan so that He may multiply it to him many times?” (al- Baqarah: 245)


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2mPTEqe814

The Prophet ﷺ said :
“There is no other day in which good deeds performed are so pleasing to Allah than these days (i.e. the first ten days of the twelfth month). The companions inquired: “What about jihad (fighting) in the cause of Allah?” The Prophet said: “Not even jihad in the cause of Allah (is up to its rewards), except for a man who went out in the cause of Allah with his life and wealth and did not return with anything of either (of them).”

The Pillars of Hajj
1- Ihram:
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Deeds are according to intentions and every person will be rewarded according to his intention. Therefore, whosoever has emigrated for the sake of Allah and His Messenger, then his emigration was for Allah and His Messenger. And whosoever emigrated for the sake of a worldly gain, or a woman “whom he desires” to marry, then his emigration is for the sake of that which “moved him” to emigrate.” [ Source: Bukhari.]

2- The Sa’y between as-Safa and al-Marwa:
From the Prophet’s statement ﷺ “Perform Sa’y (between them) for indeed Allah has decreed that you perform Sa’y (between them).” [ Source: Ahmad.]

3- Waqfat ‘Arafah (the standing on Arafah)
because the Prophet ﷺ said: “Hajj is ‘Arafah.”

4- Tawaaful Ifaadah:
Allah said: “…and circumambulate the Ancient House.” (al-Hajj: 29)


[url]hajj[/url]

- The one intending to perform [url]salat [/url]should stand facing the direction of the Qiblah, being fully aware that he is standing before Allah, The most High, and with utmost humility.- He then makes the intention in his heart to offer prayer, but it is not permissible to say this intention out loud, because that is an innovation. He (the Prophet) (may the prayers and peace be upon him) has said that
actions are by their intention, and there is but for each man that which he has intended.
[ Source: Agreed upon.]- Then he raises his hands to be level with his shoulders or ears, saying:
“Allahu Akbar.”
[ Source: Muslim.]- Then he places his right hand over his left on his chest, holding the left hand with the right. [ Source: Ahmad.]

Allah Almighty hides the knowledge of [url]Laylatul Qadr [/url]so that every Muslim would strive in the last ten days of [url]Ramadan[/url], and more especially on the odd (i.e 21st ,23rd,25th,27th,29th) nights of this period. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Search for Laylatul Qadr on the odd nights of the last ten days of the month of Ramadan.” [ Agreed upon.] Some of the scholars, after studying several ahadith concerning Laylatul Qadr, said that it alternates among the odd nights.

[center]Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
[/center]A pregnant or breastfeeding woman who fears there would be a burden on herself if she fasted may break her fast, and she must pay it back, just like the sick.

The Prophet ﷺ said: “Allah Almighty has relieved the traveler of [url]fasting [/url]and some parts of Salah (daily prayers), and He relieved the pregnant and the breastfeeding woman of fasting.” [ Source: Bukhari.]

However, if she fears the burden on only her child or fetus, then she must pay the missed fasts back and feed one poor person for every missed day. Ibn ‘Abbas said: “As for the pregnant and breastfeeding women, if they fear the burden of fasting on their children, then they must pay it back (the missed fasts) and feed one poor person for every missed day.” [ Source: Abu Dawud.]

[center]permissible Acts during [url]Fasting[/url]
[/center]1- Bathing and sitting in a pool of water to cool oneself off.
2- Swallowing one’s spit and mucus.
3- To taste food on the condition that none of it slips into the throat.
4- To smell the odor of any substance or fragrance of air fresheners.
The use of a chewing stick :
It is permissible for someone who is fasting to use a chewing stick before and afternoon, regardless of whether the chewing stick is wet or dry. However, he should be careful when using a wet chewing stick not to allow pieces of it to slip into his throat, because by that his fast would become invalidated.

[url]Al I’tikaf[/url] is Staying in seclusion in the masjid (mosque) for the purpose of worshiping Allah Almighty alone.
Al I’tikaf is one of the most virtuous deeds and an excellent form of obedience. ‘Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “ The Prophet ﷺ used to seclude himself (in the mosque) for the last ten days of Ramadan until his death.” [ Al-Bukhari .]
Al-I’tikaf is enjoined on us as it was joined on those before us. Allah Almighty says: “... and We commanded Ibraheem and Isma’eel that they should purify My House (the Ka’abah at Makkah) for those who are circumambulating it, or secluding (I’tikaf) or bowing or prostrating themselves (there in prayer.)” (Al-Baqarah: 125).Al I’tikaf is Staying in seclusion in the masjid (mosque) for the purpose of worshiping Allah Almighty alone.

1- It is impermissible to fast on the two days of Eid; Abu Hurayrah t narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade [url]fasting[/url] on two days: Day of Adha and day of Fitr.
2- It is impermissible to fast the ayyamut- tashreeq, which are the three days after the day of Eidul-Adha [11th, 12th, and 13th of Dhu’l Hijjah]. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
“The days of tashreeq are days of eating and drinking,”
[ Source: Muslim.]but one performing Hajj may fast these days if he is doing qiraan or tamattu’ Hajj and cannot find a sacrificial animal, as is explained by the Qur’an in Ayah 196 of suratul Baqarah:
“Then if you are in safety and whosoever performs the ‘Umrah in the months of Hajj, before (performing) the Hajj (i.e. Hajj-at-Tamattu’ and Al-Qiran), he must slaughter a Hady (animal, i.e. a sheep, a cow, or a camel, etc.) such as he can afford, but if he cannot afford it, he should observe Saum (fasts) for three days during the Hajj and seven days after his return (to his home), making ten days in all.”
3- It is impermissible to Fast on the yawmul- shak (day of doubt), which is the day that one doubts whether it is the last of Sha’ban or the first of Ramadan, when there is cloud or fog that prevents the sighting of the crescent. Ammar, t said:
“Whoever fasts the day of doubt has disobeyed Abul Qasim (Muhammad, ﷺ).”

The intention for [url]fasting [/url]should be made the night before dawn, if it is a compulsoryfast. However this (making intention the night before dawn) is not mandatory if the fasting is supererogatory. Thus it is permissible to make an intention for supererogatory fasting during the day, if one has not previously done anything

which nullifies fasting. This is in accordance with the hadith narrated by ‘Aishah, the mother of believers (may Allah be pleased with her): “ The Prophetﷺ entered one day and said: ‘Is there anything to eat?’ We answered that there was not. Upon that, he (the Prophet) said: ‘Hence, I am fasting.’”[ Source: Muslim.]

Recommended Acts during [url]Fasting[/url]

Eating Sahoor (the pre-dawn meal) and delaying it up to as close to dawn as possible.

The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Eat the pre-dawn meal, for indeed, there are blessings in having the pre-dawn meal.”
[ Agreed upon.].Any amount of food, even a sip of water, is sufficient as a pre-dawn meal. This is in accordance with the Hadith of the Noble Prophet ﷺ where he said:
“The pre-dawn meal is a blessing, so do not forsake it, even if anyone of you will drink just a sip of water. Indeed, Allah Almighty and His angels pray for those who have the pre-dawn meal.”
[ Source: Ahmad.]It is recommended to delay the pre-dawn meal. It is reported from Zayd ibn Thabit t who said:
“We had the pre-dawn meal with the Prophet ﷺ one day and we left (from the sitting) for Salat.” Anas ibn Malik said: “What range of time was between both (your meal and Salah)?” He said: “Up to the span of reading 50 verses (of the Noble Qur’an).”
[ Agreed upon.]

If he who fasts takes or consumes a non-edible item, or harmful things such as cigarettes, his [url]fasting [/url]is invalidated. This is because it is consumed through the usual path of food intake (the mouth), and also because it is a variant of eating and drinking.

Abominable Acts during Fasting
1- Excessiveness in mouth rinsing and sniffing water through the nose during ablution.

This is due to the fear of allowing water to slip into his throat. The Prophet ﷺ said:
“... and over draw water (during sniffing in of water in ablution) except when you are fasting.”
[ Source: Abu Dawud.]2- Lustful kissing.

Kissing is discouraged for one who is fasting if he fears the possibility of ejaculation or imminence of sexual urge. It is also necessary for him to avoid anything that invokes his sexual urge. However, if he is sure of his ability to control his urge from invalidating his fast, then he is permitted to kiss. ‘A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported:
“The Prophet ﷺ used to hug and kiss her while he was[url] fasting[/url].
Furthermore
he is the best of you, who controls his urge.[ Irbahu: Means his need of it.]”
[ Agreed upon.] This is why hugging is disliked between the youth, but not for an old man. On the authority of Abu Hurayrah who said:
“A man asked the Prophet ﷺ concerning a man hugging (his wife) when he is fasting and he allowed him, but he disapproved of the same for another man who asked him on another occasion. Then it became clear that the one he permitted was an old man and the one he disapproved of was a youth.”

It is recommended in the favored times, such as the month of Ramadan, especially the nights in which we search for Laylatul Qadr (the Night of Majesty), that we should increase the recitation of the Qur’an to obtain the benefit of this time in this month.

On the first night of [url]Ramadan[/url], Imam Bukhari (may Allah have mercy upon him) used to gather his companions and lead them in the Prayer. He used to recite twenty verses in each rak’ah (i.e. a unit of prescribed movements and words followed by Muslims while offering prayers to Allah) and so forth until he finished the whole Qur’an. He also recited from half to one third of the Qur’an at the time before daybreak (Sohoor), so as to finish the entire Qur’an by the time he broke the fast every night. He used to say, “At each time of finishing the Qur’an, there is an accepted invocation that Allah will fulfill.” [ Sifat Al-Safwa (4/170).]

It was narrated on the authority of Al-Shafe’y that he finished reciting the entire Qur’an sixty times in Ramadan, besides those recited in his prayers. [ Sifat Al-Safwa (5/255).]

If a Muslim misses a day of [url]fasting [/url]in Ramadan without a valid excuse, he must repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness; because the offense is great, and this is a grave abominable act. He must also in addition to repentance and seeking forgiveness, make up for the day(s) he did not fast after Ramadan. Here it is a necessity to make up for the day(s) immediately after Ramadan according to the most correct opinion of scholars, because he did not have a license to break his fast in the first place and he should have fasted the day(s) in its correct time.- If s/he broke his fast for a legitimate excuse, such as the reason of Hayd (menstruation) and nifaas (post-natal bleeding) for women, illness, travel or other excuses for which it is permissible to break the fast, then he must make up for the day(s), unless s/he is incapable of fasting. Moreover, it is not obligatory to fast these days immediately. Rather s/he has been given the chance to observe Fast over the entire following year, up until the next Ramadan, for ‘Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) in a hadeeth said:
“I was not able to make up for the missed days of Ramadhan except in Sha’ban (the last month before the next Ramadhan).” A sub-narrator, Yahya, said, “She used to be busy serving the Prophet.”
[ Agreed upon.] However it is highly recommended and preferred to hasten to make up for the missed day(s), since by doing that one is discharging himself from that debt. And it is also safer for the person for something might unexpectedly happen, such as illness and the like, that would prevent him from fasting.

He is Allah, Al-Haseeb (the Reckoner, the Provider Who Meets All Needs), Al-Kafee (the Sufficient).
Allah is sufficient for His creatures… He is sufficient for them for everything they need.. &"Is not Allah sufficient for His Servant (Prophet Muhammad)?&" (Az-Zumar: 36).
&"Al-Haseeb&" (the Reckoner, the Provider Who Meets All Needs).. He is All-Knowing of His creatures, and He is sufficient for those who trust him. He recompenses them for their deeds, both good and evil, according to His Wisdom and His Knowledge, recompensing them for all of their deeds.
“Allah is sufficient for us, and He is Al-Wakeel (the Guardian, the Trustee)”… These are the words that were uttered by Allah&"s close friend, Prophet Ibraheem, when he was thrown into the fire, so he found it cool and peaceful. The Prophet&"s Companions also spoke these words, as Allah mentions in the Quran: &"Indeed, the people have gathered against you&" (Âl-&"Imrân: 173).
They said, as Allah tells us: 173- Sufficient for us is Allah, and (He is) the best Disposer of affairs. 174- So they returned with favour from Allah and bounty, no harm having touched them; and they pursued the pleasure of Allah (Âl-&"Imrân: 173-174).
