Prayer of Zuhr

Methodology: Ritual Prescription

The Zuhr prayer consists of four rakats (units of prayer) and follows an established methodology that transcends mere physical movements. Pertinently, the performance begins with the Niyyah (intention), a silent, internal resolution to engage in prayer for the sake of God. The act of reciting the Takbir al-Ihram – the opening declaration – initiates the spiritual journey into a sacred realm. Each subsequent rakat is interspersed with Qur’anic recitations, which are integral to the ritual, fostering heightened spiritual consciousness and eliciting a reflective state of mind.
