Rules and Proper Needs for a Salat

• Only adults can carry out Salats. Before you perform a Salat you need to go through the process of Wudu.– Wudu is performed, or a Ritual Ablution. Therefore you need to make sure your area, body, and

clothes are clean. The clothing requirements are :• Women : Any clothing that covers her entire body, hair included. Only acceptable places to show are her face,

toes, and hands.• Men: Any clothing as long as it covers his naval and knees, it is most preferable for them to cover their

shoulders.

• Face Qilba, or direction of Mecca.• Stand erect, head down, feet spaced apart evenly.• Rehearse Iqama, or a private call to the prayer. • Express your intent to perform Salat.

– “I intend to offer _____ rakats of the ____ prayer, and face the Qibla for the sake of Allah and Allah alone.”
