Holy Du'ā (archaically transliterated ''Doowa'')〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.indiankanoon.org/doc/1531123/ )〕 is the mandatory Nizari Isma'ili prayer recited three times a day: Fajr prayer at dawn, Maghrib prayer at sundown and Isha prayer in the evening. Each Holy Du'a consists of 6 rakat, totaling 18 per day, as opposed to the 17 of Sunni and Twelver salat (''namaz''). Only Nizaris are permitted to enter the prayer house, the Jama'at Khana, during the recitation the Holy Du'a; however, prayers can be performed at home or other places. ==Nizārī prayer performed at Jama'at Khana== Jama'at Khanas are usually built with a qibla facing Mecca although Ismāʿīlīs believe that "to God belongs the East and the West" (Quran 2:142). The Du'a contains two positions of prayer: ''qu'ud'' "sitting" and ''sajada'' "prostration", the latter done at the end of each rakah. In Khoja tradition, ''Ubhi Tasbih'' is recited during tahajjud. Tasbih (prayer beads) are used at various points during the Du'a. At the end of prayers one turns to one's neighbour and offers peace, saying ''Shah-jo Deedar'' "may you be blessed with the vision of your Lord". A major difference with other forms of Islamic prayer is that a male or female Ismāʿīlī of any age who knows their Du'a may lead the ceremony, this emphasizes the equality of male and female in Nizārī Ismailism. The Holy Du'a is recited in Arabic. Historically, approximately prior to the establishment of Pakistan, Nizaris from India and Pakistan would recite the prayer in an Indian vernacular. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Holy Du'a」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
