The Meaning of Muwalah in Prayer

Question:
The questioner asks: What is the meaning of muwalah in prayer?

Answer:
Muwalah in prayer means to pray it as Allah has prescribed: to bow as Allah has prescribed, to rise and straighten up as Allah has prescribed, to prostrate as Allah has prescribed, to straighten up, be calm, and sit between the two prostrations as Allah has prescribed, and to be calm without hurrying. This is called: calmness. It is called: calmness and humility in prayer. Calling it muwalah is a designation that is not apparent.
As for if the intended meaning is muwalah between two prayers, that is another matter. Muwalah between them means that every prayer is performed in its time, except if one combines the midday and afternoon prayers, or the sunset and night prayers; and if one combines them, he prays this one after that one.
As for in a single prayer, the meaning is that he prays its pillars, performing its pillars in their place with calmness. This is called humility and calmness. He slows down in his recitation, and when he bows, he slows down, and he attends to it and is calm until every vertebra returns to its place. And when he rises, he is calm and straightens up, until every vertebra returns to its place. And when he prostrates, he prostrates and is calm until every vertebra returns to its place. And when he sits between the two prostrations, he straightens up and is calm, until every vertebra returns to its place. This is calmness, this is humility, and this is necessary. Yes.
