EXPLANATIONS:
Prayer is an essential part of a Muslim's life. It is a way for them to connect to Allah and thank Him for all the blessings He has given them. In order to properly perform prayer, one must first purify themselves both physically and spiritually. This includes washing oneself in wudu or ghusl if necessary. After this step is completed, one must begin their prayer by saying the takbir which means "God is great". This phrase signifies that Allah alone deserves all praise and glory. Finally, after completing the prayer one must end it by saying the taslim which means "peace be upon you". This phrase signifies that peace comes from Allah alone and we should seek it from Him only.
