SALATUL AYAAT


Sumber: http://al-filfilan.blogspot.com/

Salatul Ayaat becomes obligatory on account of the following four things:


1. Solar Eclipse
2. Lunar Eclipse

Salatul Ayaat becomes wajib even if the moon or the sun is partially eclipsed, and even if they do not bring about any fear.

If a person delays offering of Salatul Ayaat till the sun or the moon starts coming out of the eclipse, the niyyah of ada (i.e. praying within time) will be in order, but if he offers the prayers after the eclipse is over, he should make a niyyah of qadha.

If a person did not know about the sun or the moon eclipse, and came to know after the eclipse was over, he should give its qadha only if it was a total eclipse. If it was only a partial eclipse qadha will not be obligatory.

3. Earthquake
(as an obligatory precaution, even if no one is frightened).

If the earthquake was experienced and felt by an individual then Salatul Ayaat becomes obligatory and if it was not recited then the qadha is wajib. If the earthquake was neither experienced nor felt, due to sleep for example, then the recitation of Salatul Ayaat is not obligatory and hence no qadha either. (office of Ayatullah Sistani in London reported by The Council of European Jamats)

4. Any other natural occurrence that happens in the sky or on earth, such as thunderstorm, hurricane, tornado, twister, whirlwind, cyclone, windstorm, avalanche, etc. provided that it causes most people to be fearful and scared.

When earthquake, thunderstorm and other similar events take place, a person should offer Salatul Ayaat immediately, not allowing undue delay.

GENERAL RULINGS

1. If several events which make Salatul Ayaat obligatory occur together, one should offer Salatul Ayaat for each of them. For example, if solar eclipse as well as an earthquake take place, one should offer separate Salatul Ayaat for each of these two occurrences.
2. Offering of Salatul Ayaat is obligatory for the residents of only that town in which the event takes place. It is not obligatory for the people of other towns.
3. If a person realizes that Salatul Ayaat offered by him was void, he should offer it again. And if the time has passed, he should offer its qadha.
4. If solar or lunar eclipse, thunder, lightning or any other similar events takes place when a woman is in her menses or nifas, it will not be obligatory for her to offer Salatul Ayaat nor is there any qadha upon her.
5. If a person doubts as to how many rak’ats he has offered in Salatul Ayaat, and is unable to arrive at any decision, his prayer is void.
6. Every ruku of Salatul Ayaat is a rukn, and if any addition or deduction takes place in them, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the prayer is void.

TWO METHODS OF OFFERING SALATUL AYAAT

Salatul Ayaat consists of two rak’ats having five ruku in each rak’at. Its method of praying is as follows:

* Niyyah.
* Takbiratul Ihram
* Recite Surah al-Hamd and any other Surah.
* Perform Ruku (This will be your first Ruku)
* Stand and recite Surah al-Hamd and any other Surah.
* Perform Ruku (This will be your second Ruku)
* Stand and recite Surah al-Hamd and any other Surah.
* Perform Ruku (This will be your third Ruku)
* Stand and recite Surah al-Hamd and any other Surah.
* Perform Ruku (This will be your fourth Ruku)
* Stand and recite Surah al-Hamd and any other Surah.
* Perform Ruku (This will be your fifth Ruku)
* After rising from the fifth Ruku, go to Sajdah.
* Perform the two Sajdahs and rise for the second Rak’at.

The same procedure is to be repeated as in the case of the first Rak’at. After you have completed 5 Ruku in the second Rak’at, you will conclude your Salatul Ayaat in the usual way by performing two sajdah, tashahhud and salaam.

Note: It is mustahab to recite Qunuut before the second and fourth Ruku (in the first Rak’at) and before sixth, eighth and tenth ruku (in the second Rak’at).

SHORTER VERSION OF SALATUL AYAAT
Salatul Ayaat (shorter version) consists of two rak’ats having five ruku in each rak’at.
Its method of praying is as follows:

* After making niyyat to offer Salatul Ayaat, a person should say takbir and recite Surah al-Hamd and then divide the verses of the other Surah into five parts, and recite one verse or more or less, and thereafter perform the Ruku.
*

Example surah al-Ikhlas: the following division would be correct:

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim Qul huwallahu Ahad
Allahus Samad
Lam yalid
Walam yulad
Walam yakullahu Kufuwan ahad
* He should then stand up and recite another part of the Surah (without reciting Surah al-Hamd) and then perform another Ruku. He should repeat this action, and finish that Surah before performing the fifth Ruku.
For example, he may say: Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim Qul huwallahu Ahad and perform the Ruku.
He should then stand up and say Allahus Samad and perform another Ruku.
He should then stand up and say Lam yalid and perform the third Ruku. Thereafter he should stand up again and say, walam yulad, and perform the fourth Ruku.
* Then he should stand up again and say, Walam yakullahu Kufuwan ahad, and then perform the fifth Ruku. He should then perform two Sajdah and then rise for the second Rak'at, the same way as the first Rak'at.
* At the end, he should recite tashahhud and Salam after the two Sajdah. It is also permissible to divide a Surah into less than five parts. In that event, however, it is necessary that when the Surah is over, one should recite Surah al-Hamd before the next Ruku. However, it is better to choose another Sura with five verses, for example Sura Falaq or Qadr.

Another example of shorter version of Salatul Ayaat is as follows:

* Niyyah.
* Takbiratul Ihram
* Recite Surah al-Hamd and then
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ
إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ {1}
* Perform Ruku. (This will be your first Ruku)
* Stand and recite
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ {2}
* Perform Ruku. (This will be your second Ruku)
* Stand and recite
لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ {3}
* Perform Ruku. (This will be your third Ruku)
* Stand and recite
تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍ {4}
* Perform Ruku. (This will be your fourth Ruku)
* Stand and recite
سَلَامٌ هِيَ حَتَّى مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ {5}
* Perform Ruku. (This will be your fifth Ruku)
* After rising from the fifth Ruku, go to Sajdah.
* Perform the two Sajdah and rise for the second Rak’at.

The same procedure is to be repeated as in the case of the first Rak’at. After you have completed 5 Ruku in the second Rak’at, you will conclude your Salatul Ayaat in the usual way by performing two Sajdah, Tashahhud and Salaam.

Note: It is mustahab to recite Qunuut before the second and fourth Ruku (in the first Rak’at) and before sixth, eighth and tenth Ruku (in the second Rak’at).
