Iftitah

Hi all readers! Are you looking for an explanation of Iftitah prayer, dua Iftitah meaning, and dua Iftitah hadith? If your answer is “Yes”, congratulations! Now you are reading the right article. Why? Because that is what I will explain in this article. As Muslims, we must understand that. That's why I wrote this article. So, you should read it to the end!

Specifically, there are three important things about Iftitah prayer, dua Iftitah meaning, and dua Iftitah hadith which I will explain in this article. The three important things I mean are as follows:

Do You Have to Read Iftitah Prayer in Salat?

The first important thing about Iftitah prayer, dua Iftitah meaning, and dua Iftitah hadith which I will explain now is "do you have to read Iftitah prayer in salat?". I want you to understand that first because it is one of the important questions about Iftitah prayer that must be well understood.

One important thing I want to clarify before I explain the specific answer to this question (do you have to read Iftitah prayer in salat?) is, that not all readings in prayer are obligatory readings. The point is that there are some obligatory readings in salat and some sunnah readings in salat.

What is meant by obligatory readings in salat are readings that must be read because it will affect the validity of the salat.

The obligatory readings in salat are as follows:

1. Reading Takbiratul Ihram.
2. Reading the niyyah of salat.
3. Reading Surah al-Fatihah.
4. Reading Rukuk prayer.
5. Reading I'tidal prayer.
6. Reading Sujud prayer (prostration prayer).
7. Reading prayer between the two prostrations.
8. Reading the final Tashahhud prayer.
9. Reading Salam.

Meanwhile, what is meant by the sunnah readings in salat is readings that can be read and may not be read in salat. But if we read it, then it is better for us.

The sunnah readings in salat are as follows:

1. Reading the Iftitah prayer.
2. Reading early Tashahhud prayer.
3. Reading Qunut prayer.

Now, if you ask me, "do you have to read Iftitah prayer in salat?", the answer is "no: you have not read Iftitah prayer in salat." The reason is because Iftitah prayer is not an obligatory reading in prayer".

That is a brief explanation of "do you have to read Iftitah prayer in salat?". As Muslims, we must understand that.

Dua Iftitah Meaning in English

The second important thing about Iftitah prayer, dua Iftitah meaning, and dua Iftitah hadith which I will explain now is dua Iftitah meaning in English. I want you to understand that now because it is one of the important topics in this article that should be well understood.

Actually, I found two variants of the dua Iftitah. There is a long dua Iftitah and there is a short dua Iftitah. I will explain the long dua Iftitah in the discussion of dua Iftitah hadith in a moment.

The short dua Iftitah and dua Iftitah meaning in English are as follows:

إِنِّيْ وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِيْ فَطَرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ حَنِيْفاً وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِيْنَ إِنَّ صَلَاتِيْ وَنُسُكِيْ وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِيْ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ وَبِذَالِكَ أُمِرْتُ وَأَنَا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِيْنَ

The dua Iftitah meaning in English is as follows:

Verily, I turn my face to Allah, who created the heavens and the earth, in the condition of accepting Islam. I am not one of the polytheists. Verily, my prayer, my worship, my life and my death are for Allah, the Lord of the universe. There is no sect for him. That's why I was ordered and I am one of those who surrender.

That is a brief explanation of dua Iftitah meaning in English. As Muslims, we must understand that.

Dua Iftitah Hadith

The third important thing about Iftitah prayer, dua Iftitah meaning, and dua Iftitah hadith which I will explain now is dua Iftitah hadith. I want you to understand that at the end of this discussion so that you have a good understanding of dua Iftitah after reading this article.

The dua Iftitah hadith that I mean is as follows:

عَنْ عَلِيٍّ بْنِ أَبِيْ طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ رَسُوْلِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ ؛ وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِيْ فَطَرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ حَنِيْفاً وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِيْنَ إِنَّ صَلَاتِيْ وَنُسُكِيْ وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِيْ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ وَبِذَالِكَ أُمِرْتُ وَأَنَا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِيْنَ ، اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْمَلِكُ لَا إِلَهَ إلَّا أَنْتَ ، أَنْتَ رَبِّيْ وَ أَنَا عَبْدُكَ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِيْ وَاعْتَرَفْتُ بِذَنْبِيْ فَاغْفِرْ لِيْ ذُنُوْبِيْ جَمِيْعاً إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوْبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَاهْدِنِيْ لِأَحْسَنِ الْأَخْلَاقِ لَا يَهْدِي لِأَحْسَنِهَا إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَاصْرِفْ عَنِّيْ سَيِّئَهَا لَا يَصْرِفُ عَنِّيْ سَيِّئَهَا إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، لَبَّيْكَ وَسَعْدَيْكَ وَالْخَيْرَ كُلُّه فِيْ يَدَيْكَ وَالشَّرُ لَيْسَ إِلَيْكَ أَنَا بِكَ وَإِلَيْكَ تَبَارَكْتَ وَتَعَالَيْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوْبُ إِلَيْكَ . رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ . وَفِيْ رِوَايَةٍ لَهُ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ فِيْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ

From Ali bin Abi Talib radliyallahu anhu, from the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam, that when he stood praying, he said, "I turn my face to Allah who has created the heavens and the earth, in a condition of accepting Islam. I am not one of the polytheists. Verily, my prayer, my worship, my life and my death are for Allah, the Lord of the universe. There is no sect for him. That's why I was ordered and I am one of those who surrender. O Allah, You are the Ruler. There is no god but You. You are my Lord and I am Your servant. I have wronged myself and I confess my sins, so forgive all my sins, verily no one forgives all sins except You. Show me the best etiquette pocket. No one can show that but You. Save me from the worst etiquette, no one can save me from it except only You. I answer Your call and I love to obey You. All goodness is in Your power. Evil does not draw near to You. Your goodness always increases and You are most pure from all shortcomings. I ask Your forgiveness and repent to you." This hadith was narrated by Muslim. He (Muslim) has another narration that explains that the prayer is read at night prayer.

Please pay attention to the sentences that I bolded in the hadith above. Those are the long dua Iftitah.

That is a brief explanation of dua Iftitah hadith. As Muslims, we must understand that.

That's a brief explanation of Iftitah prayer, dua Iftitah meaning, and dua Iftitah hadith and some important things about all of them. Do you understand? If you want to ask, please ask!
