(2)立意禮拜Niyyat

(2) Intention of Prayers

 

立意:即是向安拉表白心中的意念。開始禮拜前必須向安拉用你熟悉的語言在心中提及該次禮拜的名稱及拜數,試舉例如下:

Intention means the making up of one’s mind towards Allah, e.g. to offer prayers. When you prepare to pray, you must say your intention at heart in the language or dialect you know best, and mention the name of the particular prayer and number of rakaats as follows:

 

晨禮 (聖行) / Fajr (Sunnah)

 

Ooswulli sunnatal fajri raka'ataini ada'an

lillaahi ta'aalaa

我虔誠為安拉進行晨禮的兩拜聖行拜。

For Allah, I determine to perform two rakaats of the Sunnah Fajr Prayer.

 

 

晨禮 (主命) / Fajr (Fardh)

 

Ooswulli farthal fajri raka'ataini ada'an lillaahi ta'aalaa

我虔誠為安拉進行晨禮的兩拜主命拜。

For Allah, I determine to perform two rakaats of the Fardh Fajr Prayer.

 

       集體禮的時候,應當加多下句立意才開始唸「安拉至大」:

       If you pray in congregation, add the following words of Niyyat before you say “Allah is the Greatest”

 

Muqtadiyan bil imam

我跟從這位伊麻目(領拜者)共同禮拜。

I am following the Imam (Prayer Leader) to do the prayer.
