Sehemu hii inahusu maneno na vitendo vinavyounda Sala, na hivi ndivyo arkān (nguzo). Sala za faradhi hutofautiana kwa msingi wa kuongezeka au kupungua kwa nguzo hizi mbili, kwa kuzingatia:

This part covers the words and acts that constitute prayer, and these are the arkdn (the elements). The obligatory prayers differ on the basis of an increase or decrease in these two elements, with respect to:

1. utendaji wa mtu binafsi na wa jamaa; 2. wakati, kama tofauti kati ya swala ya Adhuhuri ya siku ya Ijumaa na swala ya Adhuhuri ya siku nyingine; 3. ukaazi au safari; 4. usalama na hofu; na 5. afya na ugonjwa.

individual and congregational performance; 2. time, like the difference between the zuhr prayer on a Friday and the zuhr prayer for other days; 3. residence or travel; 4. security and fear; and 5. health and illness.

Iwapo itatakiwa kwamba mjadala ufuate uainishaji na muundo huu, ni lazima kwanza ujadili yale yaliyo ya pamoja kati ya makundi haya, kisha uchukue yale mahsusi kwa kila moja. Kwa upande mwingine, mjadala wa kila kundi moja moja unaweza kushughulikiwa, na hili ni rahisi zaidi, ingawa mbinu hii ya kufundisha huleta marudio fulani, lakini ilikuwa mbinu iliyopitishwa na mafuqaha*, nasi tutawafuata katika hili.

If it is desired that the discussion follow this classification and structure, it is necessary first to discuss what is common between these categories and then take what is specific to each. On the other hand, the discussion of each individual category may be taken up, which is easier, though this method of instruction leads to some repetition, but it was a method adopted by the fuqaha*, and we will follow them in this.

Kwa hiyo, tutaigawa sehemu hii katika sura sita. Sura ya kwanza itahusu swala ya mtu binafsi aliye mkazi, yuko salama (bila hofu), na yuko katika afya njema. Sura ya pili itahusu swala ya jamaa, yaani hukumu zinazohusu imamu na mfuasi katika swala. Sura ya tatu itahusu swala ya Ijumaa. Sura ya nne itahusu swala wakati wa safari. Sura ya tano itajadili swala katika (hali ya) hofu. Sura ya sita itahusu swala ya mgonjwa.

We shall, therefore, divide this part into six chapters. The first chapter will cover the prayer of the individual who is resident, secure (from fear), and in good health. The second chapter will cover prayer in a congregation, that is, the ahkam concerning the imam and the follower in prayer. The third chapter will deal with the jumu'a prayer. Chapter 4 will deal with prayer during travel. Chapter 5 will discuss prayer in (a state of) fear. The sixth chapter will deal with the prayer of the sick.
