The Virtue of Reciting the Opening Supplication during Prayer

Reading the opening prayer in prayer has an amazing virtue. By reciting the opening prayer, a person asks Allah SWT for ease in their daily life. In addition, the opening prayer can also make a person's heart more focused and concentrated in performing prayer. Therefore, it is advisable for every Muslim to pay attention to the rule of reciting the opening prayer in prayer.

"Although not obligatory, practicing the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is a very good thing. This Sunnah practice will bring blessings in worship. Therefore, it is advisable to always make it a habit to recite the opening supplication (doa iftitah) in prayer, as a form of practicing the Prophet's Sunnah."

"Conditions for Reciting the Opening Prayer in Prayer"

As quoted from nu.or.id, reading the prayer of iftitah has 4 conditions. If one of the conditions is not fulfilled, then the recommended act of reading the prayer of iftitah will be lost. The following are the conditions for the recommended act of reading the prayer of iftitah:

1. Prayers other than Funeral Prayer

The first condition for the sunnah prayer of reciting the opening supplication is that the prayer being performed is not a funeral prayer. Even if the prayer is performed on a grave or in an absent state, where the deceased is located far from the prayer location, it is still not allowed to recite the opening supplication.

2. Enough Time to Perform Prayer

The requirement for the recommended prayer of reciting the second opening supplication is to have sufficient time to perform the prayer and also recite the opening supplication. If someone considers that the available time is too short, then it is not necessary to recite the opening supplication; what is important is to still fulfill the obligatory pillars of the prayer that must be performed.

3. Don't Worry About Missing Out on Reading Al-Fatihah

In congregational prayer, if the follower is not worried about missing the recitation of Surah Al-Fatihah, it is recommended to recite the opening supplication (doa iftitah) beforehand. However, if there is a concern about missing the recitation of Al-Fatihah during congregational prayer, it is not necessary to recite the opening supplication.

4. Following the Position of the Imam

"If you become a follower (makmum) who joins the prayer late and see the imam performing a different prayer movement, then it is not recommended for you to recite the opening supplication (doa iftitah). Instead, you can immediately align yourself with the imam's position at that time. (Muhammad bin Umar bin Alin Nawawi Banten, Nihayatuz Zain, Songqopuro Indonesia, al-Haramin, first edition, page 62)."
