Salat basics
How to offer Saalat (the daily prayer in Islamic way).
Allah, (Subhanutayala) is Great. It is impossible for any human being to write down all His praises. If all creatures including Jinn’s and humankind try to write down the praises of Allah and even if they use all the trees as pens and all the waters from the sea as ink, it would not be possible to write down all the praises that belong to Allah.
Wherever you look, you see the signs of Allah. He neither came from anybody not he takes anybody as his Sharik, or partner. He is omnipotent. Nobody is his debtor nor does he seek any help form anybody. He is Samad, i.e., He doesn’t have any need of anything, all he has to do is to say be, and it is. He is not born from any womb nor does he give birth to anybody. He is incomparable. He is the only one who gives covenant to all. Hi is the owner of everything in heaven and earth. He gives food to all. He is the seer of all things. Death will not touch him rather it he to who awe all belong and we shall have to go back to him after we die.
Humankind was created only to praise Allah and nobody else. Allah made Islam as the right religion for all. Islam is the only decree to carry out all our activities in its light and guidance. Human being is the greatest of all creatures. That is why the human kind is known as ‘ASHRAFUL MAKHLUKAT’. Therefore it is incumbent t on all human kind to remain in the righteous religion which is Islam and do righteous deeds and seek Allah’s mercy inn all activities and carry out the activities as ordained in the holy Quran and the Hadith, which is the word of prophet Muhammad (Sallahualihe wa sallam). It is mandatory for all to steadfastly hold on to Islamic monotheism and establish Salat and do righteous deeds so as to all can go to Zannah after their death. Otherwise punishment from Allah if we prevail to perform according to the Islamic instructions will take us to hell where we will remain forever. That is a very grim prospect for the right minded people.
Islamic monotheism has 5 pillars on which the religion is broad based. These are:
Iman or Kolema or Faith.
Saalat (mandatory 5 times prayer in each day).

Sadqa-e-fitr
Q. What is sadqa-e-fitr ?
A. Fitr means to break the fast or not to keep fast.

comes after the ramadan is called 'eid-ul-fitr, as it
is the day of rejoicing over the completion of the
fast.
Q. On what persons sadqa-e-fitr is wajib ?
A. Sadqa-e-fitr is wajib on every tree muslim when he
owns property to the value of nisab.
Q. Is that the same nisab of zakat, which has been
allowed, or something else, as being the condition of
nisab for sadqa-e-fitr to become wajib ?
A. The nisab of zakat and nisab of sadqa-e-fitr are
the same, e.g., 54 tolas and 2 mashas of silver or its
price. But there is a difference between the nisab of
zakat and nisab of sadqa-e-fitr. For, zakat becomes
fard when a man owns a certain quantity of silver,
gold or merchandise. But for sadqa-e-fitr being wajib,
all his possessions are counted and all sorts of
things are taken into account. It is necessary for
both the nisabs, to be free from all sorts of burdens
of debts and in excess of real personal requirements.
So, if a persons has extra clothes, other than those
clothes used by him or has some extra utensils of
copper, brass, china clay, etc., or has an occupied
house, or some other property or goods, exceeding his
real and personal requirements, and the value of these
things, equals or exceeds the order of the nisab, no
zakat is fard on that, but sadqa-e-fitr will be wajib.

also not necessary over the nisab of sadqa-e-fitr. The
payment of sadqa-e-fitr becomes wajib even if one
becomes possessor of the nisab the same day.

wajib ?
A. The payment of sadqa-e-fitr is wajib on every
person who holds nisab. He should pay it from his own
side and on behalf of his minor children ; but if the
minors have their own property, it should be paid from
that.
Q. It is generally said that sadqa-e-fitr is not wajib
on a person who did not keep fast. Is this correct or
wrong ?
A. It is wrong. It is wajib on every individual who
holds nisab whether he keeps fast or not.
Q. What is the time of sadqa-e-fitr being wajib ?
A. The sadqa becomes wijib on 'eid day, just after the
subh-e-sadiq. So, if a person dies before
subh-e-sadiq, no sadqa-e-fitr will be paid from his
property. If a child is born before subh-e-sadiq, it
shall be paid on behalf of the child.
Q. Is it allowed to pay off sadqa-e-fitr, before the
'eid, during ramadan ?
A. It is allowed.
Q. What is the better time for paying sadqa-e-fitr ?

'eid prayers. It is also allowed to pay after the
prayers. It will remain due in his name till he pays,
no matter how much time pasess.
Q. What things and in what quantity are wajib to be
paid inn sadqa-e-fitr ?
A. All kinds of foodgrains or their price is allowed
to be paid in sadqa-e-fitr. It is detailed like this :

seers (3 1/2 ibs.) Per head. And if barley or its
flour or any other foodgrains, rice or millet, etc, in
place of wheat and barley is given then that grain
should be equal to the price of either 1 3/4 seers of
wheat or of 3 1/2 seers of barley. If it is given in
cash it should be equal to the price of 1 3/4 seers of
wheat or 3 1/2 seers of barley.
Q. Is it allowed to give sadqa-e-fitr of one person to
many beggars, in little quantities to each, or should
be given to only one beggar ?
A. It is allowed to give to many beggars. In the same
way sadqa-e-fitr of many persons can be given to only
one person.
Q. To whom should dadqa-e-fitr be given ?
A. Sadqa-e-fitr is allowed to be given to those
persons to whom zakat is allowed to be given. It is
not allowed to give sadqa-e-fitr to those persons to
whom zakat is not allowed to be given.
Q. Can those persons, on whom sadqa-e-fitr is wajib,
take zakat or sadqa-e-fitr ?
A. They cannot. The persons, who themselves are in
possession of the nisab of sadqa-e-fitr, are not
allowed to take any fard or wajib sadqa.

is the day of rejoicing over the completion of the
fast.
Q. On what persons sadqa-e-fitr is wajib ?
A. Sadqa-e-fitr is wajib on every tree muslim when he

the same, e.g., 54 tolas and 2 mashas of silver or its

zakat and nisab of sadqa-e-fitr. For, zakat becomes
fard when a man owns a certain quantity of silver,
gold or merchandise. But for sadqa-e-fitr being wajib,
all his possessions are counted and all sorts of
things are taken into account. It is necessary for
both the nisabs, to be free from all sorts of burdens
of debts and in excess of real personal requirements.
So, if a persons has extra clothes, other than those
clothes used by him or has some extra utensils of

wajib ?

minors have their own property, it should be paid from
that.

on a person who did not keep fast. Is this correct or
wrong ?
A. It is wrong. It is wajib on every individual who
holds nisab whether he keeps fast or not.
Q. What is the time of sadqa-e-fitr being wajib ?
A. The sadqa becomes wijib on 'eid day, just after the
subh-e-sadiq. So, if a person dies before
subh-e-sadiq, no sadqa-e-fitr will be paid from his
property. If a child is born before subh-e-sadiq, it
shall be paid on behalf of the child.

way sadqa-e-fitr of many persons can be given to only
one person.
Q. To whom should dadqa-e-fitr be given ?
A. Sadqa-e-fitr is allowed to be given to those
persons to whom zakat is allowed to be given. It is
not allowed to give sadqa-e-fitr to those persons to
whom zakat is not allowed to be given.
Q. Can those persons, on whom sadqa-e-fitr is wajib,
take zakat or sadqa-e-fitr ?
A. They cannot. The persons, who themselves are in
possession of the nisab of sadqa-e-fitr, are not
allowed to take any fard or wajib sadqa.
