#IslamFact #14

Everyone knows that Muslims pray 5 times a day, right?

WRONG! There are actually 4 seperate types of prayer:

-Fard (Obligatory prayer)

-Wajib (Required prayer)

-Sunnah (Recommended prayer)

-Nafl (Voluntary prayer)


1: Fard

These are the 5 main ones everyone knows:

  • Fajr: 2 Rakat, Before sunrise

  • Zuhr: 4 Rakat, Noon

  • Asr: 4 Rakat, Afternoon

  • Maghrib: 3 Rakat, Sunset

  • Isha: 4 Rakat, Night

These are obligatory, so missing them is sinful, except if you physically can't (say you're driving all day), if so you can do them at another time, but as soon as you can


2: Wajib

These prayers aren't part of the main 5 but are still necessary to do, so missing them are also sinful, although unlike the Fard ones you don't need to do them if you miss them unintentionally

  • Al- Watr: (1, 3, or any odd number of Rakat) done after Isha

  • Salat al-Eidein (Prayers of the 2 Holidays): 2 prayers done at Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha

  • 2 Rakat of prayer during Tawaf when you're walking around the Kaaba during Hajj

  • Jumu'ah: the special prayer done at Fridays, doing it replaces Zuhr so you don't need to do Zuhr on Fridays


3: Sunnah

These prayers are not necessary to do, but they are recommended as they count as extra good deed (so basically bonus prayers):

  • 2 Rakat before Fajr

  • 4 Rakat before and 2 after Zuhr

  • 2 Rakat after Maghrib

  • 2 Rakat after Isha (before Al-Witr)

  • Taraweeh: prayers done after Isha on Ramadan, you can do any amount of even Rakat you want, but the usual amount done is 8


4: Nafl

This is just voluntary prayer. Just pray whenever you want as long as you like, and you'll get good deeds all the same


There are also extra special ones like prayers done at funerals or solar eclipses or other events, but for the most part these are the 4 main types of prayer

#IslamicFact #8

The Holy Qur'an in Surah Al-Muโ€™minun and Surah Al-Alaq describe the stages of human embryonic development, from a "clot" to a lump, then to bones and flesh, in surprising detail for a book revealed over 1400 years ago

Muslims are credited with the invention of many things, such as Coffee, Soap, Algebra, and the Windmill

#IslamFact #13

If you are in a Life-or-Death scenario, certain acts such as eating haram food, like pork, blood, or carrion, or other sinful acts can be done to survive, but only if there are no halal alternatives:

This really is cute. Not at all like the last cake I made for the halloween fireside.

Apologies for missing yesterday's IslamFact, i was busy

Anyway #IslamFact #7

The Birmingham Quran, which dates to around 568 AD โ€“ 645 AD, which makes it the oldest copy of the Qur'an, and was likely written shortly after the Prophet (phub)'s death

#IslamFact #10

The story of Prophet Yusuf (ุนูŽู„ูŽูŠู’ู‡ู ูฑู„ุณูŽู‘ู„ูŽุงู…ู) holds a unique place in the Qur'an. He is the only Prophet to have his story told chronologically within a single surah, titled "Surah Yusuf."

It's also my favourite story :)

My son got a 3d printer for Christmas and made me a planter :)

Always respect your parents*.

You see, in Islam the 2nd most important deed in Islam (after Praying on time and before Jihad) is to obey and love your parents, making it one of the most beloved deeds to Allah
