The aim of this work has been to present the readers a comprehensive overview of the teachings about prayer, and the particular practice and recommendations of the Blessed Messenger of Allah, as recorded in the authentic Hadith collections of Al-Bukhari, Muslim and Abu Dawood. As it is beyond the scope of the average Muslim to buy and own the full text of these Hadith, this book will provide a useful tool for the Muslim student eager to understand Islamic prayer in its spirit and practice.
