Hay-ya `ala-Salaah:
Come to the prayer.
‫صلَوٰ ِة‬
َّ ‫ال‬ ‫َح َّي َعلَى‬
…ay-ya `ala‹-‹alaah
the prayer. Come to

– When we hear Adhan, start preparing for

Salah, make wudu and join the Jama'at in
prayers, or we will lose this beautiful
opportunity to earn multiple rewards.
 Hay-ya `alal Falaah:
Come to the prosperity.
ِ َ‫ا ْلفَال‬
‫ح‬ ‫َح َّي َعلَى‬
…ay-ya `alal falaa….
the prosperity. Come to

Allah is calling us for the true success and

prosperity. Ultimate Everyone wants peace and
happiness. If we pray Salah (and do other good
things),
– Allah will reward for it in the eternal life of
happiness, where everything will be perfect.
And people will live forever…
 Hay-ya `alal Falaah:
Come to
‫ح‬
ِ َ ‫ال‬َ ‫ف‬ ْ
‫ل‬ ‫ا‬ the prosperity.
‫َح َّي َعلَى‬
…ay-ya `alal falaa….
the prosperity. Come to

By going to Salah, we get success in this world too. If we

perform it with understanding, then:
– Reminds us to obey Allah all the time.
– Stops us from evil and bad things
– Gives us Peace of mind and positive attitude
– Gives us confidence in every good thing we do
– It makes us punctual, clean, disciplined, and do
everything to become great, because we pray Allah to
help us follow the best people and we know that Allah
answers our prayers.
 Qad Qaamati Salaah:
 ُ ‫صلَوٰة‬ ِ ‫قَ ْد قَا َم‬
َّ ‫ت ال‬ ُ ‫صلَوٰة‬ ِ ‫قَا َم‬
َّ ‫ت ال‬ ‫قَ ْد‬
Âad Âaamati‹-‹alaah Âaamati‹-‹alaah Âad

Indeed the prayer is established. the prayer is established. Indeed

– Jama’at is ready.
– We are about to talk to Allah in prayer.
– We are about to Praise Allah, seek His
forgiveness, and ask for His Mercy, Guidance
etc.
– Every other activity must come to a complete
halt; even our thinking on any other topic.
 Allahu 'Akbar:
 ‫هللَا ُ َأ ْكبَ ُر هللَا ُ َأ ْكبَ ُر‬
'Allahu 'akbar. 'Allahu 'akbar.
Allah is the greatest. Allah is the greatest.

– Again a reminder. It will be good for us only

if we accept the Greatness of Allah by
obeying Him. Therefore, stop everything
else.
 La Ilaha Illallahu:
ُ ‫الَ ِإل ٰــهَ ِإالَّ هللا‬
laa 'ilaha 'illal-lah

There is no god except Allah.

– There is none worthy of worship except

Allah alone. So, at this time, don’t listen to
any one except Allah. Just go for prayer.
