How do Muslims pray ?
Prophet Mohammad once said: “Pray in the way you saw me pray, i.e. pray like I do.” So, prophet Mohammad showed his companions how to pray. We do what the prophet and his companions did. However, there are general guidelines for a Muslim so that their prayers may be accepted by Allah. First a Muslim kid or adult should perfect their ablution. This means that a Muslim kid and adult should carefully make their ablution. Second, a Muslim kid and adult should walk to the mosque in a quiet and wise way. When a Muslim kid and adult starts their prayer, they must raise their hands so that their thumbs touch their earlobes. At this point, a Muslim kid and adult says “Allahu Akbar”. Now that a Muslim kid or adult has joined the congregational prayer, they follow the prayer-leader (Imam) in all the prayer movements.
