وَهِيَ (It [Prayer] ) أَحَـدُ أَرْكَانِ الإسلاَمِ الْـخَـمْسَةِ (is one of the five pillars of Islam) التِّي (which) بُـنِيَ عَـلَيهَا (is also built on) شَـهَادَتِ (witnessing) أَنْ لاَ إِلَـاـهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ (that there is no god except Allah) وَ أَنَّ مُحَـمَّدًا (And that Muhammad) عَبْدُهُ (is His slave) وَرَسُولُـهُ (and Messenger), وَإِقَامِ الصَّلاةِ (and standing for prayer), وَإتَـاءِ الزَّكَاةِ (and giving alms tax), وَصَـومِ (and the fast of Ramadan), وَحَجِّ بَيْتِ اللهِ الْـحَرَامِ (and the pilgrimage to the House of Allah) لِـمَنْ اسْـتَطَاعَ إِلَـيْهِ سَـبِيلا (for he who is able to find a way to).
وَالصَّّلاَةُ (Prayer)أَعْـظَمُهَا (is the most important of them [the pillars of Islam]) بَعْدَ الشَّهَادَتَيْـنِ (after the two Shahādahs). مَنْ أَقَامَـهَا (Whoever upholds it), أَقَامَ الدِّينَ (upholds the Diin), ومَنْ تَـرَكَـهَا (and whoever neglects it), فَـقَدْ تَـرَكَ الدِّينَ (neglects the Diin). وَلِـوُجُـوبِـهَا (Its requirements) خَـمْسَةُ شُـرُوطٍ (are [base on] five conditions): الإسلاَمُ (Islam), وَالْبُلُوغُ (maturity), وَالْـعَقْلُ (intelligence), وَارْتِفَاعُ دَمِ الْـحَيْضِ (cessation of menstrual bleeding) وَالنِّفَاسِ (and the blood parturition [childbirth]), وَحُضُورِ وَقْتِ الصَّلاَتِ (the arrival of the time of the prayer).
تَـجِبُ بِأَوَّلِ الْوَقْتِ (It becomes obligatory at the beginning of the time) وُجُوبًا مُوَسَّعًا (though the span of time of the obligation is wide).فَمَنْ جَهَدَ وُجُوبَهَا (He who forsakes as an obligation) أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنْ وَجَبَاتِهَا (and anything of its requirements) أَوْ شَـيْئًا مِنْ أَرْكَانِ الإسلاَمِ الْـخَمْسَةِ (or anything from the five pillars of Islam) فَهُوَ كَافِرٌ مُرْتَدُّ (is an apostatizing disbeliever). يَستَتَابُ (He should be called upon to repent) ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ (for three days) فَـإِنْ تَـابَ to see if he repents), وَإِلاَّ قُـتِلَ ([if he doesn’t], he should be killed ). وَمَـنْ أَقَـرَّ بِـوُجُـوبِـهَا (Whoever affirms the obligation of pray) وَامْـتَنَعَ مِـنْ فِـعْلِهَا (and stops doing it), انتُظِرَ إِلَى (will be observed until) أَنْ يَـبْقَى مِـنْ وَقْـتِهَا الضُّرُورِيِّ (what remains of its [the prayer’s] necessary time) مِقْدَارُ رَكْعَةٍ كَامِلَةٍ (equal to the measure of a complete rakʿah). فَإِنْ لَـمْ يُـصَلِّ (If he still hasn’t prayed), قُـتِلَ بِـالسَـيفِ (he should be killed by the sword) حَـدًّا (in accordance with the prescribed penalty);
وَيُصَلِّي عَلَيهِ (and [the people who pray] over him) غَيْرُ أَهْلِ الْفَضْلِ وَالصَّلاَحِ (should be other than the people of virtue and piety). وَيُدْفَنُ (He should be buried) فِي مُقَابِرِ الْـمُسْلِمِيـنَ (in the grave yard of the Muslims), وَلاَ يُـطْمَسُ قَـبْرُهُ (and his grave should not be destroyed). وَلاَ يُـقْتَلُ (He should not be kill) بِالْفَائِتَةِ (for letting the time of prayer elapse).
وَيُـؤْمَـرُ الصَّبِيُّ (The youth should be commanded) بِهَا لِسَبْعِ سَنِيـنَ (to perform it [prayer] at seven) يَضْرَبُ عَلَى تَرْكِهَا ضَرْبًا (and should be spanked),غَيْرَ مُبَرِّحٍ (but not severely) إِذَا بَلَغَ عَشْرَ سَنِيـنَ (if he has reached the age of ten).
