Dream - Adab praying in prayer is important to be known by every Muslim. Realizing that praying is part of Allah's command to His people. One of the most effective times to pray is during prayer. However, the prayers offered cannot be arbitrary. Dream friends must pay attention to the etiquette. Considering that everything we do must prioritize etiquette above all else.

The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said in a hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah: "When one of you finishes praying, let him pray (ask) with any prayer he likes." (HR. Muslim). Thus, the Prophet Muhammad advised the Muslim ummah to pray after completing the prayer. During prostration in prayer, Muslims are taught to increase their prayers because prostration is when a person is closest to Allah. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said:

"The person who is closest to Allah is when they are in a state of prostration. Therefore, the prayer during prostration is considered a powerful prayer or a prayer that is highly likely to be answered by Allah. The recommended time to pray during prostration is when one is in a state of prostration, whether during obligatory prayers or voluntary prayers. The Prophet Muhammad also encouraged the Muslim community to increase their prayers during prostration because it is the best time to seek help from Allah."

During prostration, our lowest position shows humility and obedience to Allah. Praying during prostration is also a virtue in prayer because in that position, we are closest to Allah. As mentioned in the hadith narrated by Muslim, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "I have been commanded to prostrate on seven bones, namely the forehead, nose, both hands, both knees, and both feet, and I have been commanded to pray during prostration."

While standing, prayers are performed in a position that reflects majesty and strength. Praying while standing is also a moment where we affirm our obedience to Allah as His servants. Allah says in Surah Al-Baqarah verse 238: "Establish prayer, give zakat, and bow with those who bow [in worship and obedience]." The Prophet Muhammad taught the etiquette and proper way of praying during Salah.

Beliau exemplifies the importance of praising Allah, then seeking forgiveness, followed by praying according to our needs, and ending with greetings. Thus, prayers in salah, whether in prostration or standing, are a manifestation of our obedience and compliance to Allah.

First, after reciting the takbiratul ihram and reciting Al-Fatihah, a prayer must be made with full concentration. The prayer should begin by praising Allah SWT and then humbly asking for something desired. When performing prostration, the prayer should be prepared with full concentration and humility, because prostration is the closest moment to Allah SWT. In addition, it is always recommended to send blessings before praying. Sending blessings is a way to honor the Prophet Muhammad saw.

In Islam, honoring the Prophet is an obligation. Therefore, if we start our prayer with sending blessings upon him, our prayer will be more heard by Allah SWT. By adhering to these etiquettes, we show fear and submission to Allah SWT, and demonstrate our obedience and love for Him. By wholeheartedly practicing these etiquettes, Insha Allah, our prayers will be easily accepted and answered by Allah SWT.
