In Islam, prayer is an obligation that must be carried out by any of its adherents who already qualified. In one day and one night there are five time prayers, namely Isya, Dawn, Noon, Asr and Maghrib. One of the greatest deeds reward is prayer in congregation at mosques or mosque at the time it was signed in prayer. Usually several mosques or mosque own marker arrival time of prayer are created automatically, making it easier for the muezzin to call the adhan. However it was still a small fraction. There are still many mosques or mosques who do not have means of automatic prayer time this marker. For that know the times of prayer 5 times a day is very important for any religion in the Islamic prayer run the 5 time period with a precise and well. To that end pointer prayer schedule is very important that there. So now many mosques or in homes that are usually already contained a calendar and prayer time enduring performer, but it looks very small so it cannot be seen from a distance. Based on that experience and the importance of this, the authors do make the viewer prayer time in real time that can change with the change of the day, and can be seen from a considerable distance. So that it can function more optimally and can maximize the time available.

The Nur Ashki Jerrahi Tariqah in Mexico City: a Branch from Istanbul’s Halveti Jerrahi Tariqah

This article aims at focusing on the facts and agents which made the establishment of the Nur Ashki Jerrahi tariqah in Mexico City possible, as a branch from the Halveti Jerrahi tariqah in Istanbul. With this in mind, I will discuss the presence of Sufism in the American continent in order to delve into the history that allowed the encounter between Lex Hixon and Shaykh Muzaffer Ashki al-Jerrahi in 1978, in New York City. This moment, recorded in the Islamic prayer spaces of the Nur Ashki Jerrahi communities in Mexico City and New York City, is the starting point in the story that paves the way for a new branch of the tariqah of Istanbul. More than 30 years later, Lex Hixon and Shaykh Muzaffer Ashki al-Jerrahi are still remembered in Mexico given their openness towards the feminine and towards all other sacred traditions which are part of a single trunk, while expressing themselves in various branches.

Prayer-Bots and Religious Worship on Twitter: A Call for a Wider Research Agenda

The automation of online social life is an urgent issue for researchers and the public alike. However, one of the most significant uses of such technologies seems to have gone largely unnoticed by the research community: religion. Focusing on Islamic Prayer Apps, which automatically post prayers from its users’ accounts, we show that even one such service is already responsible for millions of tweets daily, constituting a significant portion of Arabic-language Twitter traffic. We argue that the fact that a phenomenon of these proportions has gone unnoticed by researchers reveals an opportunity to broaden the scope of the current research agenda on online automation.

Teachers' perceptions of interactive Islamic Prayer (iIP)

This paper explores from the teachers’ point of view how new interactive technology for teaching the Islamic Prayer in Primary Schools can enhance engagement and interaction in the classroom. An interesting aspect of the research in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is that it focuses on both the human and computer perspectives. From the technological side, the focus is on how the computer hardware can improve the quality of HCI. Computer graphics for example, aims to ensure the graphics of a game is of a good standard so users will enjoy their game play, whilst operating systems are also considered in order to ensure good multiprocessing and to tune system response times to human interaction times. From the human side, HCI is primarily focused on the cognitive relationship with computers by ensuring the design is suitable for humans to operate successfully. The interactive Islamic Prayer (iIP) system designed for Xbox 360 Kinect with this specific goal in mind, and as an alternative to traditional learning methods. The participants for the research are Saudi Arabian primary school teachers in Jeddah, who currently teach the prayer using a traditional method. The teachers were experienced in all methods of learning (the controlled traditional method, and the iIP software) before making an informed decision on which method they prefer through a qualitative analysis of the participants teaching experiences. In addition, observations of each teaching session were organized to see how the methods engage the learners. The results show that learning by doing is extremely effective in helping the pupil’ practice, interact and remember the prayer movements.

Resisting Islamophobia via [Redacted] Prayers in the Handwritten Autobiographies of ʿUmar ibn Sayyid and Mohamedou Ould Slahi

Abstract The current political climate in the United States lends fresh urgency to the task of remembering the history of enslaved Africans in the Americas, a history that has become vital for understanding today's Islamophobia. To begin this task, this article examines the invocation of the African Muslim slave in Mohamedou Ould Slahi's memoir, Guantánamo Diary, alongside ʿUmar ibn Sayyid's slave autobiography, and expands readings of Islamic prayer in carceral spaces.

Investigation of the EMG activity of erector spinae and trapezius muscles during Islamic prayer (Salat).

This study aimed to investigate the electrical activity of two muscles located at the dorsal surface during Islamic prayer (Salat). Specifically, the electromyography (EMG) activity of the erector spinae and trapezius muscles during four positions observed while performing Salat, namely standing, bowing, sitting and prostration, were investigated. Seven adult subjects with an average age of 28.1 (± 3.8) years were included in the study. EMG data were obtained from their trapezius and erector spinae muscles while the subjects maintained the specific positions of Salat. The EMG signal was analysed using time and frequency domain features. The results indicate that the trapezius muscle remains relaxed during the standing and sitting positions while the erector spinae muscle remains contracted during these two positions. Additionally, during the bowing and prostration positions of Salat, these two muscles exhibit the opposite activities: the trapezius muscle remains contracted while the erector spinae muscle remains relaxed. Overall, both muscles maintain a balance in terms of contraction and relaxation during bowing and prostration position. The irregularity of the neuro-muscular signal might cause pain and prevent Muslims from performing their obligatory prayer. This study will aid the accurate understanding of how the back muscles respond in specific postures during Salat.

THE TRADITION OF EARLY AZAN BEYOND THE FASTING OF RAMADAN IN INDONESIA

The Azan is an important thing for Muslims as an Islamic ritual that marks the time of Salah, Islamic prayer. Besides being a marker of the time of Salah, it is as well as a marker time of fajr or dawn in the fasting of Ramadan. The Azan is known as an Early Azan which is done before the Azan time of Dawn Prayer. The Early Azan became a reminder to the Muslims who want to do night prayer and pre-dawn meal (meal between midnight and dawn during the fasting of Ramadan). In some parts of Indonesia, this Early Azan has routinely reverberated beyond the fasting of Ramadan. Among the people of Indonesia, the Early Azan beyond the Ramadan functions to wake up people who have not done early evening prayer and for night prayer at the end of the night. Of course, not all Islamic societies are familiar with Early Azan in the fasting of Ramadan. The question is, has it existed since the era of the Prophet Muhammad? so that it sourced from Hadith of the Prophet or the result of Ijtihad which then becomes a tradition for Muslims in Indonesia.

Islam and the Urinary Stoma: A Contemporary Theological and Urological Dilemma

BackgroundThe prayer ritual is an essential component of Islam that requires entry into a state of physical purity (wudhu) through ablution, which is invalidated by voiding. An important dilemma for patients and surgeons may arise when a Muslim patient is counselled on cystectomy because of the belief by some that an incontinent urinary diversion will automatically invalidate their wudhu. ObjectiveTo determine if there are any religious barriers and implications for Muslim patients undergoing an incontinent urinary diversion. Design, setting, and participantsA questionnaire was distributed to all UK mosques, addressed to the imam (n=804). Results and limitationsA total of 134 imams (response rate 16.7%) responded. There was general agreement among imams, with >90% answering that it is possible for a Muslim to perform ablution, pray, and enter a mosque with a urinary stoma. The majority of imams (86.6%) also stated that refusal of a urinary stoma was not justified by religious teachings. When asked if patients should choose the option of a neobladder despite this surgery having greater risk, 57.5% of respondents stated that they were either unsure or agreed with this alternative. ConclusionsThe majority of imams agreed that Muslims with a urinary stoma are able to maintain their ablution, allowing them to conduct their daily prayers, and that this form of surgery should not be refused on religious grounds. Our study suggests that the consensus view is that a urinary stoma is not contraindicated with regard to the practice of Islamic prayer rituals. Patient summaryIn this study we investigated if having a urinary stoma would be a religious barrier for Muslim patients in performing their obligatory prayer rituals. The overwhelming majority of imams stated that having a urinary stoma should not stop Muslim patients practising important aspects of their faith.

Analogie i genealogie modlitwy w trzech religiach monoteistycznych

Modlitwa jest jednym z najistotniejszych przejawów kultu obecnym w każdej religii. Ze względu na różnice występujące w poszczególnych religiach, a także uwarunkowania historyczne, geograficzne i kulturowe, modlitwa przybierała różnorodne formy i środki wyrazu. W niniejszym artykule zostały ukazane analogie pomiędzy modlitwą w judaizmie, chrześcijaństwie i islamie. Modlitwa Izraela wynikała z faktu przynależności do narodu żydowskiego, z którym Bóg zawarł przymierze. Zachowanie warunków owego przymierza stanowiło w przekonaniu człowieka wierzącego gwarancję, że jego modlitwa zostanie wysłuchana. Właściwością modlitwy chrześcijańskiej jest jej ukierunkowanie na osobę i zbawcze dzieło Chrystusa; Jego pośrednictwo stanowi zatem gwarancję skuteczności. Modlitwa w islamie stanowi jeden z pięciu filarów, tzn. podstawowych obowiązków, których przestrzeganie jest warunkiem zbawienia. Pomimo różnic występujących w wyżej omawianych religiach ich wspólną cechą jest podejmowanie dialogu człowieka z Bogiem i przekonanie, że prośby skierowane do Niego zostaną wysłuchane.

The Role of Prayer in Islam for Treatment (Healing); Potency and Problem

In the current time, it is an extremely normal upsetting condition in some areas and businesses. All individuals need to rush and progress toward being the pick up the pace to achieve some sorts of undertaking. The rivalry is high and getting to be weight in day-by-day life. Many individuals select a few ways to escape from distressing condition including liquor drinking, opiate manhandles, diversion, playing pastimes, prostitution, erotic entertainment, watching film or drama and in addition to supplication or otherworldly practices (ritual of prayer). World Health Organization (WHO) prescribed profound practices, for example, supplication and religious practice as another meditation to make wellbeing and healthy. Religion is the focal place of the most profound sense of being and demonstrating that insist faith in Allah SWT makes a basic commitment to our physical health (1). Presently there is an expanding restorative enthusiasm for Muslim religious practices in advancing well–being for the most part petition and dhikr (chanting) as focal religious practices (2). Individuals, for the most part, appeal to God for asking wellbeing and alleviation from illness in some religions (3). Religious practices or religious custom tradition over the world give an expectation or strength in recuperating or treatments through prayers (4). It's reasonable from the correlational reviews about the study of disease transmission that positive connections exist among religious and profound practice and wellbeing results on an assortment of various conditions (5). In Muslim society, they adjust themselves to the education of Islam's most real, uncovered, and definitive sources, specifically the Qur'an and Hadist. By legitimate sources, there are three sorts of the recuperating energy of mending i.e. recuperating from Quran, mending use dhikr , and mending by looking for helps with a petition from another devout individual (separation supplication). Mending from Quran comprises of three methodologies. The first is administrative impact by doing all charge of al-Quran including the health advantage of mandatory supplications, fasting, philanthropy, and journey (hijrah and khuruj). The second is Health rules or wellbeing advancing things from Quran and the custom habits of the prophets. The third is the immediate mending impact of the Quran (1). The huge issue of supplication for a mediation of medicinal treatment is a methodological issue utilizing RCT whether length, recurrence, and nature of the petition of all subjects are not having an inclination to give misleading impact as it is. Another issue is another contention between petition in particular religion and science with respect to prove evidence-based medication. Another issue is supplication among religion, which is one of the most intense and legitimate medications. Supplication as a major aspect of reflection could be comprehended as mainstream contemplations or the liberal idea of contemplation for all kind religions as opposed to the particular importance of the deep sense of being founded on single sort of religion. The petition has been a piece of all-encompassing social insurances tending to otherworldly needs of a patient. Petition likewise turns into a significant instrument to intensively recuperate yet in the zone of debate. In Islam, prayer is the most comprehensive part as all sorts of activity satisfied to Allah and a demonstration of tending to decree of Allah with worship, offering acclaim, giving a thank, avowing and affirming one's aggregate reliance on Allah, and asking His Grace, benevolence, and help by taking after the custom habit of Muhammad PBUH (1). Health officers’ feedbacks to the utilization of supplication is that it might prevent individuals from utilizing western prescription treatments, for example, drugs and surgical strategies and inoculation that in the end, it will build grimness and mortality. Thus, as indicated by some therapeutic experts that utilizing supplication amid, hopeless sickness is dangerous (6). The objective and subjective perceptions of benefits towards prayers depend on the qualities of prayers done by someone called khusyu’ or full concentration as well as the quantities of prayers have been done. In general, prayers will give catharsis effects but not removing the causative agent as if giving the placebo effects. In the long term, prayers will bring causative treatments for the certain diseases such as mental disorders including neurosis and immune disease (inflammation) as well as cancer but not for congenital disease. Prayers are very effective for palliative treatments in the terminal stages of cancer minimizing from bias i.e. spontaneous remission, the Hawthorne effect, nonspecific psychosocial support, and regression to the mean and the Rosenthal effect (5). The aim of science is not to open a door to infinite wisdom but to set a limit to infinite error and present the proof based on statistic and materialism (7).

Hybridized Indigenous Healing in the Kyrgyz Republic: Helping Survivors of Violence

ABSTRACTHarmful consequences of civil unrest in 2010, in the Southern region of the Kyrgyz Republic in Osh, continue to have an impact on communities to the present day. One of the most significant effects has been numerous undiagnosed cases of rape and other types of gender-based violence (GBV) that occurred during the interethnic conflict. The true prevalence rate of GBV cases is still unknown. For example, according to official data from the Ministry of Internal Affairs (2011), there were only seven cases of rape during the conflict; however, crisis center reports documented 322 rapes (Molchanova, 2016). Cultural norms dictate that women who experience GBV hide their “shame,” which is why only a small percentage of victims with PTSD symptoms resulting from GBV seek out services from professionals, such as from crisis centers, psychologists and psychiatrists, and police. Indigenous healers are often the first and only stop for help-seeking. However, the influences of diverse religious beliefs and practices as well as the development of Western-style helping methods in the Kyrgyz Republic have shaped the practice of traditional healing. This hybridization, which is a process of including religious and even medical practices into traditional healing, started in the middle of the 1990s, and now, the extensive networks of traditional healers in the Kyrgyz Republic often combine traditional rituals with Islamic prayer, herbal treatment, massage, and other techniques. This article explores the hybridization of indigenous healing in the Kyrgyz Republic as a consequence of a variety of social transformations, and, as a result of polymorphism, the complexity and clinical variability of posttraumatic symptoms in Kyrgyz cultural settings.

Association of Islamic Prayer with Psychological Stability in Bosnian War Veterans.

To compare the outcomes among war veterans who pray/do not pray and who were not suffering mental disorders after the Bosnia-Herzegovina war (1992-95). The sample consists of 100 healthy Bosnian war veterans divided in two equal groups-one, a highly religious group inside which were individuals who perform five obligatory prayers every day, and another group of individuals who do not practice any daily prayer. We used Minnesota Multiphase Personal Inventory (MMPI), Profile Index of Emotions (PIE) and Life Style Questionnaire (LSQ). War veterans who prayed had significantly higher levels for: incorporation, self-protection, and for reactive formation; but significantly lower levels for regression, compensation, transfer, no-controlling, oppositional and aggressiveness than their peers who did not pray. Practicing religion (regular performing daily prayers) is associated with reduction of tendencies towards the tendency for risk, impulsiveness, and aggression. It is also associated with successful overcoming of emotional conflicts in war veterans who practiced religion than their peers who did not practice religion.

The objective of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices of healthcare workers related to performing prayers during illness. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among 121 healthcare workers in Hospital Langkawi, between 22nd to 24th April 2014. Simple random sampling method was used to select the participants among healthcare workers in Hospital Langkawi to attend a workshop on Rukhsah Ibadah. The participants were given a set of questionnaire to answer and all the data were collected just before the talk began. Results: The majority of the participants 108 (89.3%) were female and more than half of them 74 (61.2%) were staff nurses. The mean age for the participants was 32.4 (SD: 9.42) years. About 73 (60.3%) of the participants have good knowledge, 62 (51.2%) have good attitude and 73 (60.3%) have good practice towards religious obligations and Rukhsah. Bivariate analysis shows no correlation between age and knowledge, attitude and practice score. There was also no correlation seen between knowledge, attitude and practice score. Conclusion: Almost half of the participants have good knowledge, attitude and practice on performing prayers during illness. By conducting proper training and coaching, it is hoped that their level of understanding towards Rukhsah can be improved.
