Demonstration of the Maliki salah from takbir to salam

right throughout this video and generally whilst you will be praying your Salah is that with the school of Medina are there is a huge emphasis on keeping a naturalness right throughout the prayer now you'll see what I mean as we go through this video but just keep that in mind okay a naturalness folks right so let's move on to the Salah in order to perform and enact for us yep that's not a Jin just in case you're wondering that's a Jin in the background it's not that shaan who's

kindly offered to perform this Salah for us so we can get a clear example allahar Okay so you're ready to pray you're going to face the once you're doing that you've got an intention now what does this mean all this is is having an awareness okay you want to know what it is that you're doing that's what this is about no need to verbalize anything no need to say anything once you're ready you're looking ahead you say the which is allahar that is necessary to begin the Salah

that's accompanied by raising the hands to the shoulders okay you let them drop and go back to their resting place which is by the side according to the school of Medina now no need to freak out this is called SLE this is which means a hanging this is from the Sunnah as explained by many like who said the this was also the position of many of the imams of this tradition including people

like IIM and others so it is a well-known position within sunah and within the Maliki School you also have the option of folding your arms which is referred to as this is equally applied and practiced by many Malik here as well okay so right so you've got that another question somebody may ask okay where should I be looking where should I be looking now you do have generally two options either to just look straight ahead as in the Quran we're we're reminded by the verse

that face the another option is to look at the place of suud if that helps with concentration ation once you've got that what do we do there is no Dua to begin there is no which means there isn't even which is once again this is from the Sunnah this was the practice of the people of Madina that Imam Malik found himself upon and this is what he taught so there's no need to freak out once again

you begin immediately with the recitation which is ald so that's how you begin straight after tbar you've gone into recitation which is read alhamd is generally said silently now at this stage you follow

this with either a short Surah of the Quran or a few verses of few ayat can be read also so and this is begun once again without the B so you just go straight into the Surah now you're ready to go into this is done by saying Allah and you go into R now generally this is done without but that is also an option

within the school of Medina practiced by many people to do ra before going into Ru and coming out of it when you're in Ru this is a place of T of glorifying Allah so a popular sub this is said without any set number you can do this there is no limit once you've done that you will rise from ru to okay now all these postures by the way you should ensure that they're done

correctly and outright whether it's r or standing now once you stand you will stand with the word and follow that with now you're ready to go into so what do you do this is a place of of and Dua so you're in you can recite subh once again without any set number it's not it's not determined once you've

once you're done you can also make Dua Dua can be any Dua according to the school of Medina anything bothering you this is the time to reach out to Allah the Hadith says the that the closest a person is to Allah is when he's in and in a in a Hadith that the prophet said make Dua when you in and that it is well it is more deserving to be accepted and you can do this and this

is the the awesome or very interesting part this can be done in any language according to the school of Medina once you've done that you rise from sujud with allahar hands just resting on the thighs and then you're ready to go back into sujud this is just done with another and the same thing again it is a place of sub without any set number and you can make Dua a personal Dua it can be about anything about passing exams about work it can be about any problems it can

be about anything Allah is listening and in any language once you're done you're ready to rise you do that by saying Tak once again as you're Rising your hands will be the last to leave the ground as you stand up now this will be your second ra which will be repeated in the same manner that we've done the first okay so you can see that you will stand for recitation you will go through the F the once you've done that you'll go into Ru similarly once again you do your T

you'll rise from r with and we've highlighted that before and then you'll be ready to go into sujud one thing to keep in mind as you go into sujud ensure that the hands do preed you into suud that is generally as is taught and understood by the school of Medina now once again two sujud once you rise from suud you are now in the position of T so what are the sitting positions now you're going to find more than one generally uh you have one called which involves

leaning in on the left hip lowering that to the ground and having the left foot come from beneath and under the right foot and leg as you can see if you find that uncomfortable or quite inconveniencing and difficult you can it is valid and permissible to sit in the position with which involves resting on the left foot okay so these are all transmissions which have come from different sahabah and the whole point of Salah is to connect you with Allah and

not to kind of bring about discomfort and pain in this position as you are about to begin the you will generally your hands will be resting on your thighs your right hand will we folded with the index finger pointing out as you can see you'll have your thumb resting on the middle finger as you can see and the index finger moving sideways now this continues to move right throughout the T position till the end of

Salah so let's get back to the T you will recite here now this there are multiple ways to read this multiple Transmissions from different sahab IM Malik chose the one by but they are all permissible and valid which is as follows

right now this is followed by which is read and once again there's there are varying narrations a popular one uh can be read muhamad

now at this stage you recite a Dua now there is no set Dua within the Maliki many people popularly read duas like The quranic Dua or

now once you've done that you're ready to finish the prayer to conclude and this is done with a single Salam now that's quite popular within the school of Imam Malik that it's just one Salam although there is the option for those who want to do two that that is an option as well and this is done simply with the wordsum no more than that and that is done by turning the head just slightly to the right as you say that and with that you've concluded your prayer some things to just keep in mind that during the Salah all of the postures all of the

positions ought to be done and they really must be done with a sense of Tranquility okay calmness to them in a correct manner there's no need to rush okay and this is what the refer to as within the Salah an an obligation within the Salah to perform it in a tranquil manner one more question that a lot of people do ask is that how is this any different if I was praying behind an Imam now it's not two different besides things that you'd already know one key difference is that according to the

school of Madina if the Imam is reciting in an audible in a loud prayer you do not recite behind the Imam as the Quran states that once the Quran is being recited be silent and listen to it so that is a key difference um and once the IM is rising from he says there's no need for you to say that you would rise with him following with the words these are really just some subtle key differences to keep in mind if you're praying behind the Imam other

than that the rest is generally pretty much the same across the board Bismillah folks I'd like to share something very important related to Salah something that touches at the heart of being human human all to human and that's forgetfulness in Arabic there's a saying that we get our name insan from actually being forgetful so what if we forget something in Salah that's where you have something
