praise and thank Him for revealing the Holy Qur'an to Prophet
Muhammad as a guidance to the believers, and as a mercy to all
people. We thank our Guardian Evolver, Cherisher and Sustainer
for giving us that which is excellent and good in this world, we ask
Him to save us from the punishment of the fire, and we ask Him to
bless us in the next life.
CLASPING OF THE HANDS IN PRAYER
The practice of Prophet Muhammad SS was to place his right
hand on top of his left when standing in prayer. All schools of
jurisprudence follow this practice, except for a small branch of the
Maliki school; its members stand with their arms at their sides.
When we observe others practicing this method we should not
consider them wrong. The positioning of the hands is not
obligatory, nor does it affect the validity of prayer. We may ad-
vise others of our practice in a spirit of brotherhood and respect,
but we must allow them to determine the way they will follow.
