WÂJIBS of NAMÂZ (II)

To observe the Ta’dîl-i-erkân as you perform namâz, [which means, as was explained earlier in the text, to stay motionless for a length of time that would allow you to say, “Subhânallah,” during the rukû’ and during the qawma, –which means the standing position after straightening up from the position of rukû’–, and during the two sajdas and during the jalsa, –which means the sitting posture betwen the two sajdas–.) These motionless stances during namâz are called ‘tumânînat’.] To make the sajda of Tilâwat if you say an âyat of Tilâwat during namâz or if you hear the imâm say one (during namâz in jamâ’at). Tho make the sajda-i-sahw (when necessary).
