Abstract

Takbiratul Ehram "The First Takbeer to Start Prayer" means: the words that the worshiper says to start his prayers, and refrain from anything invalidates it. the findings revealed that the four school jurists agreed that the prayer is not valid without Takbiratul Ehram "The First Takbeer to Start Prayer", and they disagreed on its description, so the majority of jurists said that it is a pillar, and some of them called it an obligatory, but Hanafi made it a condition. Likewise, the four jurists agreed that the one who articulates Takbiratul Ehram "The First Takbeer to Start Prayer" with the word: “Allahu Akbar,”; his Takbeer is correct, and they disagreed about the one who adds a word, or replaced it with another, where the majority scholars sees the necessity of articulating Takbiratul Ehram "The First Takbeer to Start Prayer" saying "Allahu Akbar", and the Hanafi said that it is valid in every divine words that exalts Allah. The research revealed that the scholars are unanimously agreed that the Prophet, may Allah's prayers and blessings be upon him, used to raise his hands when starting Takbeer. Among the findings of the study also is that the scholars disagreed about the characteristic of raising the hands, as the majority of scholars said that hands should be raised to the shoulders, and the Hanafi said that they should be raised the the ears, but the most correct saying is the first saying; because it is supported by many authentic hadiths.

The most important recommendations are: The necessity of urging imams and preachers to take care of Takbiratul Ehram "The First Takbeer to Start Prayer", according to jurisprudence and practice, and to explain this to the people, as well as urging scholars and teachers to teach their students the correct aspects of prayer through practical application not only the theoretical one driven by the Sunnah of the prophet.
