Salat (Indonesian pronunciation: [salat]; Arabic: ٱلصَّلَاة aṣ-ṣalāh, plural Arabic: ٱلصَّلَوَات aṣ-ṣalawāt, non-standard spelling: salat, prayer or prayer) is a type of worship in Islam that is performed by Muslims . Prayer activities include words and deeds that begin with the takbir movement and end with the greeting gesture. The position of prayer in Islam is the second pillar of Islam. Prayer is a special worship in Islam because the order for its implementation was received by the Prophet Muhammad from Allah directly. Prayer is used as the main marker in the status of a Muslim's faith. Performing prayers is the first sign of Islam, while leaving prayer is the first sign of disbelief.
According to Islamic law, the practice of prayer must be in accordance with all the instructions and procedures exemplified by the Prophet Muhammad as a figure of the embodiment of God's commands. The evidence regarding the obligation to pray is found in the Al-Qur'an, hadith, and the consensus of the scholars. There are nine requirements that must be met in carrying out the prayer, namely Islam, understanding, mumayyiz, purification, covering the genitals, clean from uncleanness, knowing the time of prayer, facing the Qibla, and having the intention. In addition, there are fourteen pillars of prayer, as many as fourteen kinds of movements and utterances, as well as eight things that cancel prayer.
Prayers are generally divided into two types, namely obligatory prayers and sunnah prayers. Fardu prayer is divided into 5 certain times which are done every day and are mandatory. Meanwhile, sunnah prayers are recommended to be performed at certain times, especially on Islamic holidays.
