AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The book “Prayer, the Ascension of the Believer” by Mustafa Qaysar was translated and published in Japanese by the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
A brief instruction to say prayers, the main audience of the book “Prayer, the Ascension of the Believer” is those who have just reached the age of Sharia maturity and are required to perform Islamic obligations. By illustrations, the author has tried to teach the prayer, the preliminaries, the conditions, the rules, the dhikrs and the Mubtilat (things that break the prayer) in a simple way.
This brief book begins by naming the Osul al-Din and Foru al-Din (principles and sub-principles of Islam), and the preliminaries of prayer, and then explains the Taharah (purity based on Islamic Rules). It also states the conditions of correctness, quality and Mubtilat of Wodhu (ablution), and then how to perform Tayammum (the Islamic act of dry ritual purification using purified (clean) sand or stone or mud, which may be performed in place of ritual washing (wudu or ghusl) if no clean water is readily available or if one is suffering from moisture-induced skin inflammation or scaling or illness or hardship), the time when Tayammum becomes obligatory, the things with which Tayammum is accepted, and the conditions of correctness and Mubtilat of Tayammum.
Following that, the conditions of the worshiper’s clothes, the times of the prayers, the qibla, Azan (the call to prayer) and the Iqamah (the second call to Islamic Prayer, given immediately before prayer begins. The iqama is given a more rapid and less sonorous rendering than the first call), the quality of the prayers, the duties, and pillars of the prayers, Mubtilat, and the correct doubts in the prayers are explained.
The book “Prayer, the Ascension of the Believer” by Mustafa Qaysar, was translated into Atsuko Hoshino by Jafar Karam Darbandi and published in crown octave size by the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly Publishing House.
