Description of the Prophet's Prayer | A Textbook on the Prayer

Prayer is a fundamental act of worship and central to Islam; its importance can’t be emphasized enough. Muslims strive to perfect their prayer, for it is indeed a dividing line between faith and disbelief, and will also be the first thing mankind is questioned about by Allah on the Day of Judgment. Therefore, much has been dedicated to the topic of prayer from the vast body of Islamic literature – from its rulings to the finer details of its characteristics, etc.

Sifatu Salat al-Nabi is a renowned work of the Imam and Scholar of hadith, Muhammad Nasir al-Din al-Albani (may Allah bestow His Mercy upon him). The original work in Arabic was a unique milestone, lending a fresh approach to presenting the topic.

He further asserted his preferred methodology employed in the book, by adopting strict principles of adhering to the authentic Sunnah and the difficult task he faced in ensuring that. It has thus developed into a study text, and a valuable primer setting a standard in reviving the method of our prayer - and becoming a means in perfecting our servitude towards Allah in the Prophetic manner.

It is our hope that this new English rendering will ensure an earnest continuation in helping Muslims who wish to follow the guidance of their Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) in their daily worship. And that the utilization of this work becomes a catalyst for those who truly love the Prophet (may Allah bestow His Mercy upon him) in fulfilling his command to, "Pray as you have seen me praying."
