Prayer Etiquette: Do’s and Don’ts This Ramadan
Why Prayer Etiquette Matters in Ramadan
Ramadan encourages us to slow down and become more intentional. Prayer etiquette helps create a balance between outward actions and inward sincerity.
Good etiquette in prayer:
- Encourages calm and focus
- Helps reduce distractions
- Shows respect for the act of worship
- Supports deeper presence in Salah
Even small improvements in how we prepare and pray can make a big difference during this blessed month.
Prayer Etiquette Do’s
Prepare Yourself and Your Space
Make sure your prayer area is clean and peaceful. A dedicated prayer space helps your mind settle more easily before Salah.
Dress Modestly and Comfortably
Wear clean and modest clothing that allows you to move comfortably during prayer.
Take Time to Set Intention
Pause briefly before starting Salah to renew your intention. This moment of stillness helps you pray with awareness and purpose.
Use a Comfortable Prayer Mat
A comfortable prayer mat supports your body during long prayers like Taraweeh. When physical strain is reduced, focus improves naturally.
Prayer Etiquette Don’ts
Do Not Rush Your Prayer
Avoid speeding through recitation and movements. Ramadan is a time to slow down and reflect.
Avoid Distractions
Silence your phone and remove unnecessary items from your prayer space to protect your focus.
Do Not Pray in Discomfort
Ignoring physical discomfort can affect concentration. A padded mat helps prevent strain on knees and joints during long prayers.
Avoid Unnecessary Movement
Try to remain still and calm throughout Salah, as excessive movement can break focus.
