词条 | salat |
释义 | salat Islam also spelled salah, Arabic ṣalāt ![]() Though individual performance of salat is permissible, collective worship in the mosque has special merit. With their faces turned in the direction of the shrine of the Kaʿbah in Mecca, the worshipers align themselves in parallel rows behind the imam, or prayer leader, who directs them as they execute the rakʿahs (physical postures coupled with Qurʾānic recitations). On Fridays, instead of the prayer just after noon, a congregational prayer (ṣalāt al- jumʿah) is offered; it includes two sermons (khutbah) delivered from the pulpit. Special congregational prayers are offered in the middle of the morning on the two festival days (ʿīds), one immediately following the month of fasting, Ramaḍān, and the other following the pilgrimage, or hajj. Although not obligatory, individual devotional prayers, especially during the night, are emphasized and are a common practice among pious Muslims. |
