Dactyl as a poetic meter

As a poetic meter, dactyl, being a Greekword by origin, was originally used in ancient poetry. It was a four-dimensional foot of one long and two subsequent short syllables. The name size was obtained from the similarity in structure with the finger of a person's hand, in which the first joint is longer than the rest. Five dactyls and one spongy or trochee at the end of the verse - was the most widespread size of the poetic works of ancient Greece of those times and was called a hexameter. It is also called the "heroic" hexameter. It was they who wrote the Iliad and Odyssey, and other works of the heroic epic.

Types of prayer

Prayers in Islam can be divided into fourcategories: fard, wajib, sunna and nafl. Fard - obligatory prayers. Muslims are required to pray at least five times a day. This rule is mandatory for every orthodox believer who reached puberty, except for mentally ill people. Morning namaz is called fajr, afternoon - zuhr, daytime - asr, evening - maghrib. And the obligatory prayer, performed at night, is called isha. Fard-namaz also includes funeral - janaza and daily Friday collective prayer - juma. The latter is always committed in the mosque. It is preceded by a sermon preached by the Imam - Khutba. Wajib is also a mandatory prayer, the non-fulfillment of which is usually equated with sin. But opinions about their commitment in different senses of Islam diverge. According to the most extreme point of view, if there are five obligatory prayers, then all the others are voluntary. Wajib-Namazu often refers to the prayer of Witr, performed between the prayers of isha and fajr, most often the last third of the night. And also the prayer of the id, performed in the morning on the holidays of Uraza-Bayram and Kurban-Bayram. Although many theologians are referred to as fard-namazu. Sunnah - additional voluntary prayers. They are of two types: practiced on a regular basis and performed from time to time. Refusal of Sunna by sin does not count. Well and nafl - exclusively voluntary super-long prayers. You can execute them at any convenient time. Except the moments when prayer is forbidden. These are the moments of the true half day, sunrise and sunset. The ban, apparently, is connected with the prevention of the practice of worshiping the sun.

The order of prayer

Each prayer includes a different numberrak'ahs. Rakat - the fulfillment of prescribed movements and the pronunciation of words addressed to God (Allah). The believer performs a bath. Then, standing on a special mat for prayer, turns to face Mecca. He drops his hands along the body and utters the intention to accomplish this or that prayer. Raising his hands to the level of his face, palms away from himself, the believer says: "Allah is great." Then he takes his left hand in the right, presses them to the stomach and pronounces the first, or any other short, sura from the Koran. With ice, hands on his knees, pronouncing the phrase "Praise be to Allah" makes a bow. Straightens, keeps his hands along the body, pronounces: "Allah will hear him who praised him." He kneels down. It touches the forehead and palms of the earth. Straightens, sits on his heels and again pronounces the phrase "Allah is great." Repeats the earthly bow, once again praises Allah and stands on his feet. The described cycle is one rakat. If the believer wishes to repeat the rattle, he does all of the above in the same order. It should be noted that the prayers are pronounced only in Arabic.
