Muslim Prayer in Practice

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Prayer in Islam is understood in at least three different ways, with each linked organically to the others: (1)ṣalāt(ritual prayer), (2)duʿāʾ (personal supplication), and (3)dhikr(prayer of the heart, recollection, or remembrance of God). All three forms and the manner in which Muslims have practiced them derive from the Qurʾān and the Sunna (the prophetic tradition).
