Prayer According To Quran and Sunnah By Prof. Muhammad Zulfiqar

Salah is the pillar of Islam that stands between a Muslim and disbelief, the first act they will be held accountable for on the Day of Judgment, and the act the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) described as the coolness of his eyes. Yet many Muslims pray their entire lives without understanding the full scope of this act of worship — its conditions, its obligatory elements, its sunnahs, and all the forms it takes across different circumstances.

Prayer According to the Qur'an and Sunnah by Prof. Muhammad Zulfiqar is one of the most comprehensive single-volume references on salah available in English — covering virtually every aspect of prayer from purification through the voluntary prayers, drawn from the Qur'an and the authenticated Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

What This Book Covers

Purification

Wudu, ghusl, and tayammum — their conditions, how they are performed, and what invalidates them — covered as the necessary foundation for a valid prayer.

The Obligatory Prayers

The times of the five daily prayers, how to determine the qiblah, the adhan and iqamah, the congregational prayer and its rulings, the conditions and pillars of salah, khushu' and how to cultivate it, and the full description of how the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed.

Special Prayers and Circumstances

Friday prayer, the two Eid prayers, the prayer for rain (istisqa'), the eclipse prayer, the funeral prayer, the prayer of fear, and the travel prayer — each covered with its specific rulings and evidence.

Voluntary Prayers

The night prayer (qiyam al-layl), witr, the duha prayer, the rawatib sunnah prayers before and after the obligatory prayers, and salat al-istikhara — establishing the full picture of salah as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught it.
