本部分讲述构成礼拜的言语和行为，这些即是礼拜的支柱（arkān）。各种义务礼拜之间的区别，正是基于这两类要素的增减，具体而言包括：

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:

个人与集体的履行；2. 时间，例如星期五的宗哈尔拜与其他日子的宗哈尔拜之间的区别；3. 定居或旅行；4. 安全与恐惧；5. 健康与疾病。

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.

如果希望讨论遵循这种分类和结构,就需要先讨论这些类别之间的共同点,然后再讨论各自特有的内容。另一方面,也可以逐一讨论每个类别,这种方式更为简便,尽管这种教学方法会带来一些重复,但这是fuqaha*所采用的方法,我们在此也将遵循他们的做法。

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.

因此,我们将这一部分分为六章。第一章讲述居住在家、处于安全且身体健康之人的礼拜。第二章讲述集体礼拜,即关于领拜者与跟拜者在礼拜中的教法规定。第三章讲述主麻礼拜。第四章讲述旅途中的礼拜。第五章讨论恐惧时的礼拜。第六章讲述病人的礼拜。

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.
