these are what is needed before you start praying for the prayer to be accepted, the "prerequisites" of Prayer

Islaam (being muslim)
Sound mind (not being crazy)

obligations must be done, if left out my ignorance of forgetfullness the salaah is still valid but the sujoods of distraction must be done. If deliberately left out then salaah becomes invalid.

1. all of the takbiraat
2. saying "subhanarabbiyal 'adheem in rukoo' (at least once)
3. saying sami'allahou liman hamida
4. saying Rabbana wa lakalhamd
5. saying Subhana rabbiyal a'laa in sujood (at least once)
6. saying Rabighfirlee when sitting between sujoods (at least once)
7. The first Tashahud
8. Sitting during the first tashahud

pillars of PRAYER (not Islam, thank you TPofS) if you miss any of them out, for whatever reason, then the prayer is invalid. and missing any pillar cannot be compensated by thr sujood of distraction. You have to redo the prayer.

1. standing
2. opening takbeer - Takbiratul Ihraam
3. Reciting Suratul Fatihah
4. Rukoo'
5. Rising from Rukoo'
6. Sujood on seven bones
7. Rising from Sujood
8. Sitting calmly between sujoods
9. Being tranquil and calm during each pillar
10. Doing the pillars in order
11. The Last Tashaahud
12. Sitting during the last Tashahud
13. Sending Salaah and salaam on nabi (pbuh)
14. The Final Tasleem

OK, so I've managed to keep this going into week two and, as a bonus, I am looking at 2 of Allah's (swt) Names at the same time. Why? Well, these two often come as a pair and it would be rude to welcome in one guest and leave the other at the door. Also, if I deal with the Names one at a time, at this rate it will take 2 years and I hope to be in Paradise by then already!

my birth mark is islam yet i am not a muslim at heart because i sin everyday of my life. I watch tv, listen to music, dress inappropiatly (top and jeans) and further more. i prey to allah subhanallah wa taalah to shower with imaan and guidence which will allow me to take the right path. However my faith always dislocates itself and i end up in the same position i started out;sinning constantly. i try my hadrest not to lose hope, believing that inshallah one day will come, when allah (swt) will give me hidayat and i will have the opportunity to redeem myself and walk the path of redemtion which will prepare me for the day of resurrection.

Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me
There's no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
But you can't take the sky from me...

(Ballad of Serenity)

O Allah! You shower favours on everyone
And no one can do You any favour.
O The Possessor of Majesty and Honour,
O The Distributor of bounty and rewards,
There is no one worthy of worship except You.
You help the fallen
And provide refuge to the refugees
And give peace to those who are in fear.

O Allah! If in the Mother of All Books that is with You
You have written me down as someone who is
Doubtful of achieving salvation, or deprived,
Or rejected or without enough sustenance,
Then, O Allah, with Your Grace
Remove all of these misfortunes from me
and in the Mother of All Books that is with You,
establish me as someone who is
blessed, with abundant provision and charitable good deeds.
Indeed, what You said in The Book You sent

Salaams!
