Prayer
Ensure the area is clean and free of impurities. This includes your body, your
clothes, and the place of prayer itself.
Perform Ablution if necessary. You must be ritually pure before you go about
praying. If you're not, it's good to perform Wudu before you do. If since your last prayer
you have urinated, defecated, passed gas, bled excessively, fallen asleep lying down,
leaned against something, projectile vomited, or fainted, off to the bathroom you go.[1]
Make sure all of your necessary parts are covered. The nakedness of a man is
considered to be between the navel and the knees; for a women, her entire body except
the face and palms.
If you are unsure of the cleanliness of your area, spread a mat or cloth on
the floor for good measure. This mat (or prayer rug) is very important to islamic culture.

Face the Qibla. This is the direction all Muslims face to turn in prayer toward
Kabah.
The Holy Mosque in Mecca is the most revered place of worship for Muslims
around the entire world. At the center of the mosque is the Kabah. All Muslims
are required to face the Kabah five times every day when offering their prayers.
Pray at the proper time. The five prayers of each day take place at very specific
times. For each one, there is a brief period of time it can be performed,
determined by the rising and falling of the sun. Each salah takes about 5 to 10
minutes from start to finish.[1]
The five prayers are Fajr, Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. They are at dawn,
salah:
Fajr - i) First two rakat Sunnat Mokadda, ii) Two rakat Fard
Zuhr - i) Four rakat Sunnat Mokadda, ii) Four rakat Fard, iii) Two

Make your intention known in your heart. Before initiating the salat, it is
important that your intention be known and understood. Not necessarily aloud,
but from within.
You may think about how many rakats you are going to do and for what

purpose. Whatever it is, be sure you mean it. Allah SWT can see what is in our
hearts.

Terminate the prayers with as-salaam. After the tashahhud, pray to Allah
