Hello Kawan Mastah, in this article we will discuss in detail about the procedures for performing the sholat jamak qoshor. This is an important aspect of our religion and it is important that we perform it correctly. Let’s dive in!
What is Sholat Jamak Qoshor?
Sholat jamak qoshor is a way of praying where we combine two different Salah (prayers) into one by shortening the second prayer. This is usually done when we are travelling or when we have less time to pray. It is a Sunnah practice and is not compulsory.
Table 1: Salah that can be combined using Jamak Qoshor
First Salah |
Second Salah |
|---|---|
Fajr (2 rakats) |
Zuhr (4 rakats) |
Maghrib (3 rakats) |
Isha (4 rakats) |
As seen in table 1, we can combine Fajr and Zuhr, and Maghrib and Isha Salah using jamak qoshor. This is done by performing the first Salah in full and then shortening the second Salah.
The Procedures for Sholat Jamak Qoshor
1. Niyyah (Intention)
It is important to have the intention of performing sholat jamak qoshor before starting our prayers. We must have the intention of performing the two Salahs combined and shortening the second Salah before we start our prayers.
2. Takbiratul Ihram
As with any Salah, we must start with the takbiratul ihram. This is done by raising our hands to the level of our shoulders and saying, “Allahu Akbar”. This marks the beginning of our Salah.
3. Recitation of Al-Fatihah and Surah
We must recite Al-Fatihah and a Surah after it during the first and second Rakat of the Salah. It is recommended to recite a shorter Surah in the second Rakat.
4. Ruku
We must then perform ruku by bowing down with our hands on our knees and saying, “Subhana Rabbiyal Adhim”. We must stay in ruku position for a few seconds before standing up again.
5. Standing Position
We must stand up straight again and say, “Sami Allahu Liman Hamidah”. This marks the end of the ruku position and is called the standing position.
6. Sujud (Prostration)
We must then perform sujud by placing our forehead on the ground and saying, “Subhana Rabbiyal A’la”. We must do this twice in each Rakat of the Salah.
7. Tashahhud
We must then recite the Tashahhud in the second Rakat before ending our Salah with the Salam.
