Regarding Obligatory Parts Of Salah
Dear respected Javed Ahmad Ghamidi Sahib (or respected team at Al-Mawrid / Ghamidi Center),
Assalamu alaikum.
I hope you are well.I was negligent for a long time and did not pray regularly or follow basic Islamic teachings. Recently, your videos motivated me to start performing salah consistently. Alhamdulillah, I am rebuilding my practice step by step.
Please guide me on these points according to your understanding of the Quran and Sunnah:
1- What are the minimum essential dhikr, actions, and pillars (arkan) required for salah to be valid and fulfill its fard obligation? (e.g., specific takbirs, Surah Al-Fatihah, etc.—without which it would not be accepted.)
2- As someone restarting after a long break, is it sufficient initially to focus only on the five daily fard prayers (with correct rak’ahs), adding sunnah/nafl later? Or must other elements be included from the start for the fard to be complete?
Your guidance would help me and others greatly. Thank you for clarifying the deen.
JazakAllah khair.
Wassalamu alaikum.
