Kwa kijana wa Kiislam,Huenda hukabahatika kupata elimu Ya Madrasa labda kwa Malezi mabaya ya Wazazi wako au Kwa SABABU tofauti,Huenda ukawa Mpaka sasa Hujajua Vizuri ni jinsi gani ya Kuswali,na Unaona Aibu kuuliza kutokana na Umri ulikuwa nao then Hujajua Kuswali,Huenda Elimu ya Dunia Mungu kakujalia,Kwa kutumia Lugha Ya kiarabu na Kiingeraza Jua jinsi ya Kuswali na Manenoo Unayotakiwa kusema wakati wa Swala

Face the Qiblah (toward Mecca), and make sure you’re in a clean area, now you are about to start one of the following prayers: 1st prayer (Subh), 2nd prayer (Dhuhr), 3rd (Asr), 4th (Maghrib), 5th (Ishaa).

Standing, you will start the prayer raising both hands up close to your ears and say "Allahu Akbar" (God is Most Great). (Look at the picture on the side).

Then put one hand on the top of the other hand between your chest and upper stomach, and start reciting surat “al fatiha”, say “ameen” once you finish it, and then start reciting another small surat (check here to find out more about “al fatiha” and the other “surats”).

Once you finish reciting raise your hands up to the ears, saying "Allahu Akbar." Bow (your hands on your knees, back straight, your face toward the ground, saying three times, "Subhana rabbiyal adheem" (Glory be to my Lord Almighty). This position is called (ruku’). See photo.
Rise back to standing while saying "Sami’a Allahu liman hamidah, Rabbana wa lakal hamd" (God hears those who call upon Him; Our Lord, praise be to You).

Raise hands up, saying "Allahu Akbar" then descend to the ground (see photo), while your face on the ground say three times "Subhana Rabbiyal A'ala" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High). This position is called “sujud”

Rise to a sitting position (see picture), saying "Allahu Akbar."

Then prostrate back on the ground (this is the second time you do it), while your face on the ground say three times "Subhana Rabbiyal A'ala"

This will conclude the first “rak’a”. Now to start the second “raka’a” you simply need to repeat steps from 2 to 8. Note that at the end of your second “rak’a” you will have to add step 9, which is:

Rise to a sitting positition (see photo), remain sitting and recite the first part of the Tashahhud in Arabic: "Atta-hiyyatu lillahi was-salawatu wat-tayyibatu As-salamu 'ala an-Nabiyy wa rahmat-ullahi wa barakatuhu As-salamu 'alaina wa 'alaa 'Ibaadillah-is-salihin. Ash-hadu-al-la-ilaha illAllahu wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa Rasuluh”. Note that while reciting “Ash-hadu-al-la ilaha illaAllahu …” one should move the index finger of the right hand in a small circle like you’re drawing a circle on the sand beach with your index while the hand is still on the thigh. Only the index should be moving, the rest of the fingers and hand don’t have to move. See photo:

If the prayer is to be longer than 2 “rak'as”, then add the same steps from 2 to 8 depending on how many “rak’as” you have to perfom, for example if you have to make 4 “rak’as” then you will have to add steps 2 to 8 two more times (which means 4 times in total). Then finally add the step number 9 again (basically after each two “rak’as” the step #9 is required).
Main prayers of the day:

1st prayer (Subh) = 2 Rakats

2nd prayer (Dhuhr) = 4 Rakats

3rd prayer (Asr) = 4 Rakats

4th prayer (Maghrib) = 3 Rakats

5th prayer (Ishaa) = 4 Rakats

To end your prayer, while still sitting, turn your face to the right and say "Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah" (Peace be upon you and God's blessings), and turn to the left and say the same “Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah". And that’s how you finish your prayer, easy!
Example of how to pray the 3rd Prayer (Asr) which consist of 4 Rakats: Follow steps 1-8, then steps 2-9, then steps 2-8, then finally step 2-10

IJUE TOFAUTI KATI YA UISLAM NA UARAB!,
UISLAM SIO UARAB!!


Muslims Vs Arabs
Oftentimes, Muslim and Arabs are being stereotyped as belonging to each other’s group. Many believe, to this date, that Muslims are Arabs and Arabs are Muslims. However, this is not always the case.
Muslims are individuals embracing the religion Islam, hence Muslims are part of a religious sect. Arabs on the other hand are individuals that dwell or own the Arabian or Arab regions. Thus, they form a specific internationally known nationality. They speak the Arabic (Arabian) language and can choose whatever faith or religion they plan to follow. On the other hand, Muslims can have native tongues of almost any language in the world.
Perhaps the reason why the terms Arabs and Muslims get intertwined frequently is the fact that the Arab region is the cradle of religion. It is where most religions had begun to sprout, which includes Christianity and Islam; not to mention Mohammed (Islam’s prophet) to be of Arabian decent. Yet, it must be noted that an Arab citizen can be of any religious order like: Jewish, Islam and Christianity. Hence, this gives birth to Christian Arabs and Muslim Arabs. In the same manner, depending on your nationality you can still be a devotee of Islam. You can be called an American Muslim or Arab Muslim, for that instance.
The Arabs live predominantly within the Middle Eastern nations including Syria, Saudi Arabia and Iraq while the Muslim congregation lives mostly in Asia (about 60%) while the rest are in the Middle East, Africa and other parts in the world.
Lastly, recent world headcount estimates that the Muslim population has grown to as big as 1.5 billion worldwide in 2009 (almost one-fourth of the total population in the world) whereas the Arab people can only sum up to several millions. Thus, it is safe to establish the fact that Muslims are ideally greater in number than the Arabs.
Summary :
1.Muslim is a type of person who accepts the Islamic religion whereas an Arab is a type of ethnicity or nationality.
2.Muslims can use many different languages since they can reside from anywhere around the world while the Arabs primarily use the Arabic language.
3.Arabs usually originate from the Middle East specifically from Iraq, Iran, Syria and Saudi Arabia whereas Muslims can come from almost every corner in the world mainly in Asia.
4.Muslims are practically more in number than the Arab total populace
