    1. Saints Intercede on Behalf of Us

    Saints have been called the favorites of God, due to their heroic and unyielding faith. Saints are able to intercede on our behalf of us during prayers and provide a gateway for us to God. This makes saints unique in that they are the bridge between people and God, allowing our prayers to reach Him easier.

    These are four saints, you can ask to find something.

    1- Saint Anthony of Padua

    Saint Anthony of Padua is a good saint to ask for help when looking for something that is lost or misplaced. He is known as the “Finder of Lost Things” and is one of the most beloved saints in the Catholic Church. He was gifted with discernment, which enables him to assist people in their search. All you have to do before asking his assistance is to make sure your intentions are pure and you sincerely believe that he can help find what you lost or misplaced.

    2. Saint Jude

    St Jude, also known as Thaddeus, is another saint that can help if you’re searching for something that cannot be found by ordinary means. This powerful saint is often referred to as “the patron saint of lost causes” due to his reputation for Intervening on behalf of people whose requests seem impossible or hopeless. It’s important to remember that St Jude will not intervene in any situation unless it has spiritual significance and your intentions are turned towards God above all else.

    3. Saint Dismas

    Saint Dismas, also known as The Good Thief, can be asked for assistance when it comes to finding lost objects or items from long ago even though he wasn’t technically a saint during his life’s time on earth. What makes him so special is the fact that he was able to recognize Jesus Christ at his death despite having led a wicked life prior, which earned him canonization after death by popular Christian cultures across Europe and Asia Minor in particular during medieval times. Therefore, asking him for aid may open doors beyond what you could possibly imagine!

    4. Saint Joseph

    Saint Joseph might be the best saint to turn to if what you seek has been specifically hidden from view or put away somewhere intentionally rather than being truly lost like an object misplaced unintentionally over time outside one’s sightline leading them to seek St Joseph’s kind and patient intercession instead according to devout Catholic prayer guides typically recommended by schoolteachers affiliated with religious institutions throughout North America!

    A Step-by-Step Guide to that how to pray in Islam for women’s.

    Muslim women are obligated to pray five times a day, just like men. It’s an important religious duty that must be done in order to stay close to Allah (SWT). These steps given here will help you learn how to perform salah as a woman. From the moment of takbeerat (starting the prayer) until the very end, find out what controls your movement and thoughts during prayer.

    Understand the Foundation of Prayer

    The foundation of prayer in Islam is centered around the five pillars. As a woman, it’s important that you understand these five pillars before beginning your prayer rituals. These are the Shahada (abandonment of all false gods and beliefs and submission to one Allah); Salah or ritual prayer five times each day; Zakat (almsgiving); Sawm (fasting) during the month of Ramadan; and performing Hajj (a pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in a believer’s lifetime).

    1. Establish Your Wudu

    Before each of your prayers, it’s important for you to establish your wudu. This involves washing your face, arms, ears, mouth, nostrils, and feet with pure water 5 times each day. During wudu, it’s good practice to focus on intentions for the upcoming prayer you will be making. Wadu prepares your mind, body and soul for what’s ahead.

    3. Prepare Yourself Physically

    In order to pray properly while adhering to Islamic principles as a woman, you must ensure that you are prepared physically. Find yourself a quiet spot in your home where you can concentrate peacefully outdoors or indoors; then make sure that you are wearing loose-fitting appropriate such as an abbia or jilbab in accordance with Islamic modesty standards before you begin.

    4. Set Your Intention

    After wudu and physical preparation have been completed and you have assumed a position spiritually while standing before the presence of God Almighty. Now make Niyat, say that you are starting Fajar namaz (example). With two farz facing Kabbah. This is how you can set your intention to discuss which namaz you are saying that will be seeking nearness to Allah. This will strengthen your concentration on God even more.

    5. Now time to Perform Namaz (Prayer)
    • Stand
    • Say the first takbeer (Allahu Akbar) while moving your hands in the air close to your ears.

    • Hold hands on belly one after. First left hand then right hand upon.

    • Recite your first dua.

      سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وبِحَمْدِكَ وتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ ولا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ

    • After first dua say “Surah Fatiha”
    • Ready any Verse or “Surah” from Quran.
    • Say Allahu Akbar Now is the Raku time.
    • Raku is when you touch both your hands to the knees and say three times:

      سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي الْعَظِيْم

    • After raising from Raku Stand leave your hands down and say:

      سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَه

    • After still stand say:

      ربَّنا لَكَ الحَمْد

    • Now Sajud time say Allahu Akbar and move toward the ground. Touch your forehead, your palms to the ground, and say three times:

      سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي الأَعْلَى

    • Again say “Allahu Akbar and sit up and again move down while saying “Allahu Akbar” and repeat the previous step twice.
    • That was the first cycle and repeat the same again and at last sit and keep your palms on your knees and say:

      التَّحِيَّاتُ للِه وَ الصَّلَوَاتُ و الطَّيِّبَاتُ السَّلامُ عَليْكَ أيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ و رَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَ بَرَكاتُهُ السَّلامُ عَلَيْنا و عَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِيْنَ أشْهَدُ أنْ لاَ إلَهَ إلاَّ اللهُ و أشْهَدُ أنَّ مُحمَّداً عبْدُهُ و رَسُولُهُ

    • After the dua read darood e ibrahimi and then say this dua:

      ربَّنا آتِنا في الدُّنْيا حَسَنَة و في الآخرةِ حَسَنَة وَقِنا عَذابَ النّار

    • Last step move your face to right side and then the left side and each time say:

      السَّلامُ عَليْكُمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ الله

    I just have tried to explain in short. It may sound complex but honestly, it is very easy.

    The one and only God in Islam is Allah, the almighty and Creator of the Universe that guides humanity’s moral actions through the Quran and through Muhammad’s Hadiths. Muslims believe that God has no partners, associates, sons or daughters. He is just one in essence and He has made himself known to humans by His many names throughout history so they may relate to Him in their own language and cultural context. That’s the main reason people ask how many gods are in Islam? Others are just names using for One God.
