What is Wajib in Salaat?
As you already know, Salaat is made up of different parts. In this section, you will come to know the list of the Wajib acts of Salaat.
There are 10 things which are Wajib in the Salaat:
Our Salaat is like a building that is made up of many parts:
Some of these parts form the foundation of the building, while others are just built upon the foundation.
If the foundation gives way, then the whole building will collapse.
In the same way, the Wajib acts of Salaat are divided into two categories:
Rukn and Ghayr Rukn.
- Rukn means those parts of the Salaat that are its foundation
- Ghayr Rukn means these parts of the Salaat that are not considered as its foundation.
