The Prayer is the first matter about which the slaves of All_h will be asked on the Day of Resurrection. The Messenger of All_h _ said:
ÒThe first matter about which the slave will be called to account [on the Day of Resurrection] is the prayer.Ó Ð an-Nas_Õ_ [468], with a S_ah___h_ Isn__d according to __fi_ Zubayr ÔAl_ Za`i [ra_imahull_h].
Therefore it is a matter of utmost importance that a Muslim takes care to pray his obligatory prayers conscientiously and completely. And the completeness of the prayer is not only that he prays it in its prescribed time, but also that he adopts the procedure taught by the Prophet _.
It is precisely for this extremely important purpose that this translation of the book of the _ad_th scholar __fi_ Zubayr ÔAl_ Za`i [ra_imahull_h] into the English language, serves: _____ ____ ____ ____ Ð An Authenticated Summary of the ProphetÕs Prayer _.
One of the many features that motivated the translation of this book for English readers is the extensive Takhr_j [referencing] and Ta_q_q [verification] of the A_ad_th and _th_r [narrations] used for the individual points. This, among other things, makes it possible for students of Isl_m of any level to benefit from this book. Someone who is just beginning to learn prayer and needs guidance based on authentic narrations that is neither too crude nor too overwhelming, will be able to derive as much benefit from this book as an advanced student who wants to deal with the Faw_`id [benefits] regarding the Isn_d [chain] of the narrations, _th_r and points of Fiqh [jurisprudence] that the author addresses. [É]
__fi_ Zubayr _Al_ ZaÕi has added two chapters in this book, in addition to the chapters of Wu__` and a step-by-step guide to prayer: some authentically narrated A_k_r after Prayer and a guide with regards to how the Jan_zah prayer is to be prayed.
All the DuÕ_Õs [supplications] in this book have been rendered both in their Arabic form and in English. As an additional benefit, an appendix has been added in which the transliterations of some selected supplications have been compiled by the translator, as a benefit for those who are still learning Arabic.
