Q: Islamic Prayer?
One of my very good friends who is a christian is very interested in the Islamic faith. I was wondering if there was a generic prayer that i could tell him to recite that won't offend his christian views, even though its strictly Muslim. He came up with the "our father" prayer and thats pretty general but its christian. What can i tell him is an islamic prayer that he can also recite if he wants to?
A: The Holy Quran,Surah 1 (The Opening)
1. In the name of God Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
2.Praise be to God, The Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds;
3. Most Gracious, Most Merciful;
4. Master of the day of Judgment.
5.Thee do we worship, and thine aid we seek.
6.Show us the straight way,
7.The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, Those whose (portion) is not wrath,
and who go not astray.

Q: Islamic prayer: How is it possible to stand infront of Allah in prayer?
How is it possible to stand infront of Allah in prayer when he is not apart of creation? Thanks :-)
A: Allah is not part of his own creation. We muslims believe that Creation is different from creator.
Islam does not believe in pantheism.
Q: What are the requirements for a male to lead an Islamic prayer?
A relative recently began leading a prayer at a mosque but some question whether he is too young. His voice has changed and is going through puberty I assume. But many say in the mosque say he is young. What is the definition of baligh? What are the requirements for a person to be the leader in a prayer in Islam?
A: Abu Mas`ud Al-Ansari reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “The person who can best read the Book of Allah will lead the people (in prayer). If they are equal in reading (the Qur’an), then the one who has more knowledge of the Sunnah. If they are equal in the knowledge of Sunnah, then the one who was first in making the Hijrah (from Makkah to Madinah). If they are equal in that then the one who is more senior (or older) in Islam. Let not a person lead the prayer in the place of the authority of another person and let him not sit in his house in his place of honor, except by his permission.” (Reported by Muslim)”

Q: Can Obama can recite the Islamic Call To Prayer in Perfect Arabic?
Could someone please provide the source of where that piece of information originated from ....also, the source for that he said it was the most beautiful thing to hear at sunset, or something like that.
A: Yes. Reference is below.
"""Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”""
When he recited it, the reporter recorded it. He has never released the recording. If he did, you would hear Muhammad Obama make the declaration of faith of Islam and when you do that, you become a Muslim.
Did he really intend to do it? Or is this an example of his ignorance? If it is an example of his ignorance, then all the more reason not to make him president.
And clearly, he had to have attended some Islamic classes to have remembered it after all these years. Maybe not a Muslims school, but at least Muslim classes.
Q: islamic prayers, which make my nervousness go away. I wish to know a prayer, which will make me feel good.?
Something i can say when i close my eyes, i can breathe it when i cant say outloud. Something overall, which will make me feel good as i say it. An intention to heal. I have school soon, and i hate the thought. Plus my body odor problem, if anyone knows a prayer please post, or give me a link.
A: ok, i've read this and your other questions. You need to talk to someone.
1. Stop the suicide talk.
2. How old are you? if you are a minor, please talk to your parents about your upsettedness about the bo thing, and school...but you need someone to help you. If not your parents, you need to talk to a doctor or your counselor at school. This is NOT something you should be afraid to ask for help with!
3. it is not uncommon for you to feel sick and woried about these situations, and turn to God -- Prayer is AWESOME. Just speak to him quietly in your head. If you need a specific PRAYER, then pick a statement and request -- to repeat silently tocalm yourself...for instance "Allah I love you, and i know you love me. I know you are here. Please bring me peace." and repeat. He hears your every word and every thought. You need not say something "specific" or "published". He is here watching and listening right now. he sees your pain, and wishes that you would turn to someone here for help. Find someone to talk to TODAY.
Peace be with you today and every day. You will be fine.

A: This Widget shows the Islamic prayer times for the latitude and longitude provided. It can also show the weather for a particular location from CNN Weather.......its called prayer time,but its a yahoo widget
Q: How does the direction of Islamic prayer vary?
I have read that Muslims are to face in the direction of the Kaaba shrine at Mecca when praying.
If a Muslim is standing on the surface of another planet, I assume he would coordinate his prayers to the times of local solar exposures. Would he prostrate himself on the planetary surface, or would he look to the planet's sky in an attempt to focus on the planet Earth, where the Kaaba is located?
A: Allah changes his mind...first Jerusalem then Mecca...Allah is not all knowing but he does have better ideas sometimes. Not at all sure why a god would need the option to change his mind but Allah does this often.
Q: what is the translation of a islamic prayer not including the quranic verse (optional)?
Islamic, prayer, translation
A: I will copy and paste from a website here and provide the link below...so much easier than typing it all out by hand, lol
"Allah u Akbar" "Allah is the greatest"
"Subhanaka Allah humma wa bihamdika, wa tabaraka ismuka, wa ta'ala jadduka, wa la ilaha ghairuk"
"Praise and glory be to you O Allah. Blessed be Your Name, exalted be Your Majesty and Glory. There is no God but You"
"Audu bi Allah i mina ashaitan i errajeem"
"I seek Allah's shelter from Satan, the condemned"
"Bismillah i rrahman i erraheem"
"In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful."
the Fatihah (I included it anyways, ;) :
"Al humdo lil-lahi rab-bil al ala-meen. Arrahman i rraheem. Maliki yaum i eddeen. Iyyaka nabudu wa iyyaka nasta een. Ihdinas sirata almustaqeem. Siratal lazhina anamta alaihim, ghairil maghdubi alaihim, wa la adhdhaal leen. (Aameen)"
"Praise be to Allah, The Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds; Most Gracious, Most Merciful; Master of the Day of Judgment. Thee do we worship, and Thine aid we seek. Show us the straight way, the way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, Those whose (portion) is not wrath, And who go not astray."
Another verse here, any verse of your choice.
"Allah u Akbar" "Allah is the greatest"
Three times: "Subhana rabbiya al azeem"
"Glorified is my Lord, the Great"
"Samia Allah u liman hamidah"
"Allah listens to him who praises Him"
"Rabbana wa laka al hamd"
"Our Lord, praise be for you only"
"Allah u Akbar" "Allah is the greatest"
Three times: "Subhana rubbiyal a'ala"
"Glory to Allah, the Exalted"
"Allah u Akbar" "Allah is the greatest"
"'Rabbi eghfir lee wa rhamnee"
"O my Lord, forgive me and have Mercy on me"
"Allah u Akbar" "Allah is the greatest"
Three times: "Subhana rubbiyal a'ala"
"Glory to Allah, the Exalted"
This is one rakat, there are between two and four depending on the prayer, so if there is another rakat after, then "Allahu akbar" is repeated during standing to continue. If this is the last rakat, then the rest will follow while sitting:
"Attahiyat u lil Allah i wa assalawat u wa attaiyibat. Assalam u a'laika aiyoha annabiyyu wa rahmat u Allah i wa barakatuh. Assalam u a'laina wa a'la ebadi e llahi essaliheen. Ashehadu alla ilaha illa Allah u wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasooluh."
"All our oral, physical and monetary ways of worship are only for Allah. Peace, mercy and blessing of Allah be on you, O Prophet. May peace be upon us and on the devout slaves of Allah. I testify that there is no God but Allah and I testify that Muhammad is His slave and messenger"
"Allah umma salli a'la Muhammadin wa ala aali Muhummadin, kama sallaita ala Ibraheema, wa ala aali Ibraheem, innaka hameedun majeed. Allah u mma barik a'la Muhammadin wa ala aali Muhummadin, kama barakta ala Ibraheema, wa ala aali Ibraheem, innaka h ameedun majeed".
"O God send your Mercy on Muhammad and his posterity as you sent Your mercy on Abraham and his posterity. You are the Most Praised, The Most Glorious. O God, send your Blessings on Muhammad and his posterity as you have blessed Abraham and his posterity. You are the Most praised, The Most Glorious".
"Rubbana aatina fi uddunya hasanatun wa fi l aakherati hasah, waqina a'zabannar".
"Our Lord, grant us the good of this world and that of the Hereafter and save us from the torture of Hell."
Said to the right, then to the left: "Assalam u a'laikum wa rahmatu Allah".
"Peace and mercy of Allah be on you".
Q: Why is Farting during Namaz (Islamic Prayer) considered haram (sin)
In islam, farting is not allowed durinng prayer or in the presence of guests,. There are inciidences where people were killed in Pakistan as they couldn't control their farts. It is surprising that suras (laws) exist in Quran regarding farts.
can someone shed more light on this
A: well i thought about this question and can only say in response that jews pray before and after every poo and its to say thanks for their bodies.
that may sounds wierd but i never stop praying even 'during'! but about more important things in life like love for my brother and neighbour
