The Sutrah
Reading Time: < 1 minute
- There should be some object [such as a wall, bed, etc.] in front of one when reading Salaat.
- If there is no object then place in front of one a stick or something high.
- Stand with the object in line with one’s right or left eye.
- [This object in front of one when performing Salaat is known as Sutrah.]
- [The purpose of the Sutrah is twofold; one is to enable passers-by to walk pass ahead of the Sutrah, and the second is for one to concentrate.]
