A Basic Guide to Prayer in Islam

According to the Quran and Authentic Sunnah
Compiled by Asma bint Gary Dee Rice
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said,
"Offer your salat (prayers) the way you see me offering them." (Sahih Al-Bukhari)
IMPORTANT
The generality of the Prophet’s (SAW) statement includes women. Therefore, all the actions of the prayer apply equally to men and women. There is nothing in the Sunnah to necessitate the exception of women from any of these descriptions. It's a major misconception in Islam, that women pray different than men. Outside of the dress code, women do not pray different then men. Men and women pray equally in the same manner. There is no difference between the way a man prays and the way a woman prays.
