Six years later, 11 sixes in a two-hour 153 against MCC at Bombay Gymkhana advanced India's case for Test recognition. And one of Nayudu's 32 sixes on India's 1932 tour of England, at Edgbaston, was said to have cleared the county, crossing the River Rea, which then formed the boundary between Warwickshire and Worcestershire. Including Nayudu among the Five Cricketers of the Year, ''Wisden'' reported: "Possessed of supple and powerful wrists and a very good eye, he hit the ball tremendously hard but, unlike the modern Australian batsmen, he lifted it a fair amount."

Nayudu led India in their first-ever Test match in the [[Indian cricket team in England in 1932|1932 England tour]].

Post-retirement from Test Cricket, he led the [[Madhya Pradesh cricket team|Holkar team]] to eight Ranji Trophy finals in nine years, out of which they won four. His career-best innings was 200 in the Ranji trophy, made at the age of 51. He was one of the few players in first-class cricket to have scored a double century after the age of 50.<ref name=":25" /> Later, he became the vice-president of the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India]] (BCCI) and the chairman of the [[India national cricket team selectors|national selection committee]].

In 1923, the [[Tukojirao Holkar III|ruler]] of [[Indore State|Holkar State]] invited Nayudu to stay in [[Indore]] and honoured him first with the rank of a [[captain]] and later a [[colonel]] in his state's army. Nayudu is generally considered as 'India's first cricket superstar'.<ref name=":26" /> Historian [[Ramachandra Guha]] noted of him, "C. K. Nayudu was the first Indian cricketer to be a popular hero, whose appeal transcended the barriers of caste, class, gender and religion. Each of his sixes was interpreted as a nationalist answer to the [[British Raj]]." In 1994, the BCCI instituted the [[C. K. Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award]], the highest honour it bestows on a former player. [[C. K. Nayudu Trophy]], India's under-25 domestic tournament is also named after him.

=== Test career ===

==== Captaining the first Indian Test Team ====
India gained Test status in 1931 and a national team representing India was set to tour England in 1932 as part of their first Test series. In the immediate months before the England tour, the [[Governor-General of India|Viceroy of India]], [[Freeman Freeman-Thomas, 1st Marquess of Willingdon|Lord Willingdon]] believed that the team ought to be captained by an English player.<ref name=":12" /> It was suggested that an Englishman playing in India, like [[Alec Hosie]], [[C. P. Johnstone]] or [[Reginald Lagden]], should captain the team, to placate the factions within the tour party. [[Board of Control for Cricket in India|BCCI]] resolved that the captain would be an Indian.<ref name=":33">{{Cite web |last=Gupta |first=Rajneesh |date=1 July 2014 |title=Relive India's first ever Test match... against England in 1932! |url=https://www.rediff.com/cricket/report/slide-show-1-relive-indias-first-ever-test-match-against-england-in-1932-rajneesh-gupta/20140701.htm |access-date=2023-04-25 |website=[[Rediff]] |language=en |archive-date=25 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230425093419/https://www.rediff.com/cricket/report/slide-show-1-relive-indias-first-ever-test-match-against-england-in-1932-rajneesh-gupta/20140701.htm |url-status=live }}</ref>

{{Quote box
| quote = The pre-war batsman of stature most notable for hitting was an outsider. C. K. Nayudu was a straight hitter of withering force. A six out of [[M. A. Chidambaram Stadium|Chepauk]] in December 1920 ended up near a coconut tree 50 [[yards]] beyond the ground. Six years later, 11 sixes in a two-hour 153 against [[Marylebone Cricket Club|MCC]] at [[Bombay Gymkhana]] advanced India's case for Test recognition. And one of Nayudu's 32 sixes on [[Indian cricket team in England in 1932|India's 1932 tour of England]], at [[Edgbaston Cricket Ground|Edgbaston]], was said to have cleared the county, crossing the [[River Rea]], which then formed the boundary between [[Warwickshire]] and [[Worcestershire]].

Nayudu played in an era when hitting lofted shots was considered risky and transgressive.<ref name=":16" /> But, he was always ready to go for his shots. He was particularly known for hitting long sixes.{{refn|name=sixes}} His ability to hit sixes nonchalantly sent crowds into a frenzy.<ref name=":4" /> His very-first scoring shot in first-class cricket was a six.<ref name=":21" /> According to him, batting should involve the use of entire body and it's not just about 'elbow up' and 'left leg forward' alone as mentioned in cricket manuals.{{Sfn|Chaturvedi|2009|p=48}} [[Bob Wyatt]], who played against Nayudu, noted that he was not a mere slogger, for 'his perfect poise, high backlift in a long pendulum swing brought beauty to his strokes'.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Guha |first=Ramachandra |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hslnO7LGdRMC&dq=c.+k.+nayudu&pg=PA227 |title=An Anthropologist Among the Marxists and Other Essays |date=2001 |publisher=Orient Blackswan |isbn=978-81-7824-001-5 |pages=224 |language=en |access-date=12 May 2023 |archive-date=1 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230801134344/https://books.google.com/books?id=hslnO7LGdRMC&dq=c.+k.+nayudu&pg=PA227 |url-status=live }}</ref>

Nayudu taught himself to bear physical pain. In one Ranji Trophy match, he was struck on the mouth by a ball which broke two front teeth. He refused medical assistance, brushed the teeth off the wicket with his bat.<ref name=":4" /> He requested his rival captain, [[Mumbai cricket team|Mumbai]]'s [[Madhav Mantri]] to instruct the bowler [[Dattu Phadkar]] to continue bowling fast. In the [[The Oval|Oval]] Test of 1936, despite receiving a painful blow from [[Gubby Allen]], he made a successful attempt to continue batting and hooked the next ball to the [[Boundary (cricket)|boundary]].<ref name="colossus" /> He scored 81 runs{{Em dash}}his highest score in Test cricket and denied England an [[Win by an innings|innings victory]].{{Sfn|Chaturvedi|2009|p=48}} He was tough and expected others to have the same kind of toughness.<ref name="colossus" />

'''Preetinder Singh Bharara''' ({{IPAc-en|p|r|iː|t|_|b|ə|ˈ|r|ɑːr|ə}}; born October 13, 1968) is an Indian-born American [[lawyer]] and former [[Assistant United States Attorney|federal prosecutor]] who served as the [[United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York]] from 2009 to 2017. He is currently a partner at the law firm [[Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Thomsen |first=Jacqueline |date=2022-06-13 |title=Former Manhattan U.S. Attorney Bharara joins Wilmer Hale law firm |language=en |work=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/us/former-manhattan-us-attorney-bharara-joins-wilmer-hale-law-firm-2022-06-13/ |access-date=2023-03-07}}</ref> He served as an [[Assistant United States Attorney|Assistant U.S. Attorney]] for five years prior to leading the Southern District of New York. According to ''[[The New York Times]]'', Bharara was one of the "nation's most aggressive and outspoken prosecutors of public corruption and [[Wall Street]] crime" during his tenure as a federal prosecutor.<ref name="TopFighter">Benjamin Weiser & William K.

Born in [[Firozpur]], India, his family immigrated to [[New Jersey]] in 1970. Bharara graduated from [[Harvard College]] in 1990 and attended [[Columbia Law School]] before joining [[Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher]] as a litigation associate in 1993. Three years later he moved to [[Swidler Berlin Shereff Friedman|Shereff, Friedman, Hoffman & Goodman]], where he did [[White-collar crime|white-collar]] legal defense work. Bharara first entered the public sector as chief counsel to Senator [[Chuck Schumer]] when Schumer charged with investigating the [[Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy|2006 presidential dismissal of U.S. attorneys]]. He transferred to the [[United States Department of Justice|U.S. Department of Justice]] in 2004 as an assistant U.S. Attorney, launching his career as a federal prosecutor. His office heavily prosecuted the [[Sicilian Mafia|Italian mafia]], convicting four out of the [[Five Families]] of drug trafficking, [[Racket (crime)|racketeering]], and conspiracy to murder. Bharara similarly headed various counter-terrorism probes and cases, particularly against [[Al-Qaeda]].
His office used a variety of unconventional tactics to close cases like [[Telephone tapping|wiretapping]] and asset seizure. He prosecuted nearly 100 Wall Street executives for [[insider trading]] and [[securities fraud]] using these legal methods. Bharara closed multi-million dollar settlements with the [[Big Four (banking)|four largest banks]] in the country, and, most notably, shut down multiple high-profile [[hedge fund]]s. Known for his technocratic approach to prosecution, he routinely convicted both Democratic and Republican politicians on public corruption violations. Bharara occasionally pursued criminals [[Extraterritoriality|extraterritorially]]. Following a [[#U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York|2013 Russian money laundering investigation]], Russian officials had him permanently banned from entering Russia. The [[Devyani Khobragade incident|prosecution of Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade]] by his office in 2013 led to a strain in [[India–United States relations]].

Upon the election of former U.S. President [[Donald Trump]], Bharara was dismissed after refusing to submit his resignation as part of the [[2017 dismissal of U.S. attorneys]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/statement-us-attorney-preet-bharara |title=Statement By U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara |date=March 11, 2017 |access-date=March 11, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cnbc.com/2017/03/11/preet-bharara-says-he-was-fired-moments-ago.html|title=Top cop of Wall Street, Preet Bharara, fired after refusing Trump administration's call to resign|first=Marty|last=Steinberg|website=[[CNBC]]|date=March 11, 2017|access-date=March 12, 2017}}</ref> After leaving government, he went into academia. He joined the [[New York University School of Law]]'s criminal justice faculty. He authored his first book, ''[[#Works|Doing Justice: A Prosecutor's Thoughts on Crime, Punishment, and the Rule of Law]]'', in 2019.

==U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York==

Bharara was nominated to become [[U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York]] by President [[Barack Obama]] on May 15, 2009, and unanimously confirmed by the [[U.S. Senate]].

===International investigations===
[[File:Preet Bharara 2011.jpg|thumb|Bharara (''right'') waits with Attorney General [[Eric Holder]] to announce charges related to the [[2011 alleged Iran assassination plot]].]]
Bharara's office sent out agents to more than 25 countries to investigate suspects of arms and narcotics trafficking and terrorists, and bring them to Manhattan to face charges. One case involved [[Viktor Bout]]. Bout was an arms trafficker, who lived in Moscow and had a deal involving selling arms to Colombian terrorists. Bharara argued that this aggressive approach is necessary in post 9/11 era. Defense lawyers criticized the stings, calling Bharara's office "the Southern District of the World." They also argued that American citizens would not appreciate other countries' treating them in such ways. Countries have not always rushed to cooperate. This is according to a review of secret State Department cables released by WikiLeaks.<ref name=International>{{cite news|last1=Weiser|first1=Benjamin|title=A New York Prosecutor With Worldwide Reach|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/28/nyregion/28prosecutor.html|access-date=March 1, 2015|work=New York Times|date=March 27, 2011}}</ref>

On April 13, 2013, Bharara was on a list released by the [[Russian Federation]] of Americans banned from entering the country over their alleged [[human rights violation]]s. The list was a direct response to the so-called [[Magnitsky Act|Magnitsky]] list revealed by the United States the day before.{{Citation needed|date=December 2020}}

===Actions against financial crime===

====Insider trading====
In 2012, Bharara was featured on a cover of ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' magazine entitled "This Man is Busting Wall Street" for his office's prosecutions of insider trading and other financial fraud on Wall Street.<ref>{{cite news|url= http://www.time.com/time/covers/europe/0,16641,20120213,00.html|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120203153019/http://www.time.com/time/covers/europe/0,16641,20120213,00.html|url-status= dead|archive-date= February 3, 2012|title= This Man is Busting Wall Street |publisher=Time Magazine |date=February 13, 2012}}</ref> From 2009 to 2012 (and ongoing), Bharara's office oversaw the [[Raj Rajaratnam/Galleon Group, Anil Kumar, and Rajat Gupta insider trading cases|Galleon Group insider trading]] investigation against [[Raj Rajaratnam]], [[Rajat Gupta]], [[Anil Kumar]] and more than 60 others.

In 2011 when hedge fund portfolio manager [[Chip Skowron]] pleaded guilty to insider trading, Bharara said: "Chip Skowron is the latest example of a portfolio manager willing to pay for proprietary, non-public information that gave him an illegal trading edge over the average investor.

After 85 straight convictions for insider-trading cases, he finally lost one on July 17, 2014.

On October 22, 2015, Bharara dropped seven insider-trading cases two weeks after the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] refused to a review a lower court decision that would make it harder to pursue wrongful-trading cases. The conviction of Michael S. Steinberg was dropped; Steinberg was the highest-ranking officer of [[SAC Capital Advisors]] who had previously been convicted of insider trading.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/23/business/dealbook/us-prosecutor-to-drop-insider-trading-cases-against-seven.html|title=U.S. Prosecutor to Drop Insider Trading Cases Against Seven|first=Matthew|last=Goldstein|newspaper=The New York Times |date=October 22, 2015|access-date=March 12, 2017}}</ref>

On September 10, 2013, with help from the [[U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement|Immigration and Customs Enforcement]]’s Homeland Security Investigations and [[Cyrus Vance Jr.]], the District Attorney for New York County, Bharara's office announced that they had filed a [[Asset forfeiture|civil forfeiture]] complaint, freezing $24 million in assets.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financial-crime/10300395/New-York-freezes-24m-of-Magnitsky-fraud-assets.html|title=New York freezes $24m of Magnitsky fraud assets|work=Telegraph.co.uk|access-date=March 22, 2017|language=en}}</ref> If the court upholds the complaint, the government will seize the assets.

'''{{transliteration|ar|Salah}}''' ({{Lang-ar|صَلَاة}}, plural {{transliteration|ar|salawat}}, romanized: {{IPA-ar|sˤaˈla}} or [[Old Arabic]] [t͡sˤaˈloːh], ({{IPA-ar|sˤaˈlaːt|}} or [[Old Arabic]] [t͡sˤaˈloːtʰ] in [[construct state]]) {{lit|prayer}}),<ref>{{cite book|last1=Lane|first1=Edward William|url=http://www.tyndalearchive.com/TABS/Lane//|title=An Arabic-English Lexicon|date=1963|publisher=Librairie du Liban|location=Beirut, Lebanon|page=1721|access-date=17 May 2015}}</ref> also known as '''{{transliteration|fa|namāz}}''' ({{lang-fa|نماز}}), is worship performed by [[Muslims]]. Facing the {{transliteration|ar|[[qibla]]}}, the direction of the [[Kaaba]] with respect to those praying, many to most Muslims pray first standing and later kneeling or sitting on the ground, reciting prescribed prayers and phrases from the [[Quran]] as they bow and prostrate themselves in between.

{{transliteration|ar|Salah}} is composed of prescribed repetitive cycles of bows and prostrations, called {{transliteration|ar|[[rakat]]}} ({{Abbr|sing.|singular}} {{transliteration|ar|rak'ah}}). The number of {{transliteration|ar|rak'ah}}s, also known as units of prayer, varies from prayer to prayer. [[Ritual purity in Islam|Ritual purity]] and {{transliteration|ar|[[wudu]]}} are prerequisites for performing the prayers.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=salat {{!}} Definition & Facts|url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/salat|access-date=2016-01-04|website=Encyclopedia Britannica|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=The Oxford Dictionary of Islam|title=Salat|url=http://www.oxfordislamicstudies.com/article/opr/t125/e2075|website=oxfordislamicstudies}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Farrakhan|first1=M.R.|title=A Reanalysis of Social - Cultural Impacts and Functions of Worship: A Case Study on Salah (Namaz)|last2=Arefian|first2=A.|last3=Jahromi|first3=G.S.|journal=Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences|year=2016|doi=10.5901/mjss.2016.v7n4S1p249|doi-access=free}}</ref> {{transliteration|ar|Salah}} can be performed either in solitude, or collectively (known as {{transliteration|ar|[[Jamia|jama'ah]]}}). When performed in {{transliteration|ar|jama'ah}}, worshippers line up in parallel rows behind a leader, known as the [[imam]] ("leader"). Special prayers are exclusively performed in congregation, such as the [[Friday prayer]] and the [[Eid prayers]], and may be coupled with two sermons each, delivered by the imam.<ref name=":0" />

==Etymology==
{{transliteration|ar|ALA|Ṣalāh}} ({{IPA-ar|sˤaˈla|}} {{lang|ar|صلاة}}) is an Arabic word that means to pray.<ref name="Chittick">{{cite book |last1=Chittick |first1=William C. |last2=Murata |first2=Sachiko |title=The vision of Islam |publisher=Paragon House |isbn=9781557785169 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LG3BugEACAAJ&q=THE+VISION+OF+ISLAM+by+Sachiko+Murata+and+William+C.+Chittick|year=1994 }}</ref> The word is used primarily by English speakers only to refer to the five obligatory prayers of Islam. This term is spelled as {{transliteration|ar|solat}} in [[Malaysia]], [[Brunei]] and [[Indonesia]], {{transliteration|ar|salaad}} in [[Somalia]], and {{transliteration|ar|swalah}} in [[Tanzania]] and by other [[Swahili language|Swahili]] speakers.

The origin of the word {{transliteration|ar|salah}} has become a matter of debate, particularly in relation to [[Quranism]]. Some have suggested that {{transliteration|ar|salah}} derives from the root {{lang|ar|و ص ل}} ({{transliteration|ar|w-ṣ-l}}) which means "linking things together",<ref>{{Citation |title=و ص ل |date=2022-04-08 |url=https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=%D9%88_%D8%B5_%D9%84&oldid=66385730 |work=Wiktionary |language=en |access-date=2022-05-12}}</ref> hence why the obligatory prayers in Islam are referred to by the word {{transliteration|ar|salah}} (in the sense that through prayer one "connects" to God). In some translations, namely that of [[Rashad Khalifa]], {{transliteration|ar|salah}} is translated as the "Contact Prayer"<ref>{{Cite web |title=Quran The Final Testament, translated by Rashad Khalifa, Ph.D. |url=https://www.masjidtucson.org/quran/frames/ |access-date=2022-05-12 |website=www.masjidtucson.org}}</ref> either because of the physical contact the head makes with the ground during the prostration part of the ritual ({{transliteration|ar|[[sujud]]}}), or again because the prayer "connects" the one who performs it to God. Other sources claim that the root is in fact {{lang|ar|ص ل و}} ({{transliteration|ar|s-l-w}}) the ultimate meaning of which is not agreed upon.<ref>{{Citation |title=صلاة |date=2022-04-27 |url=https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=%D8%B5%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%A9&oldid=66516497 |work=Wiktionary |language=en |access-date=2022-05-12}}</ref>

{{transliteration|ar|Salah}} is thought to come from the [[Classical Syriac]] word {{lang|syc|ܨܠܘܬ‎}} ({{transliteration|syc|ṣəlōṯ}}) meaning prayer, temple, sanctuary or the theological idea of reconciliation in Christianity. {{transliteration|syc|Səlōṯ}} itself is believed to derive from the root {{lang|syc|ܨ-ܠ-ܐ}} ({{transliteration|syc|ṣ-l-ʾ}}) which is related to bending or bowing down.{{Citation needed|date=April 2023}}

Some Quranists make the argument that the Quran does not support the traditional meaning ascribed to {{transliteration|ar|salah}}, saying that it instead means "duty" or perhaps "adherence", though this is yet to receive any widespread academic support. Those who argue for this interpretation often refer to verse 33:56 of the Quran which states that "Allah and His Angels {{transliteration|ar|yuṣallūna}} upon the Prophet". They argue that such verses demonstrate the conventional understanding of salah to be inconsistent and in this case blasphemous as the idea of Allah praying to [[Muhammad]] (or indeed praying at all) is at odds with the Quran's message of strict monotheism.{{Citation needed|date=April 2023}}

=== Namaz ===
''Namāz'' ({{lang-fa|نماز}}) is the [[Persian language|Persian]] name of salah, originating from ancient [[Middle Persian]] language meaning "reverence". It is the term presently used in [[Turkey]] and other Turkic-language nations such as [[Kazakhstan]] ({{lang-kz|Намаз}}), in [[Bosnia]], in [[Iran]], [[Afghanistan]], [[Tajikistan]] and other [[Persianate society|Persianate]] languages of the [[Indian subcontinent]] such as [[Urdu]] ({{lang-hi|नमाज़}}) and [[Bengali language|Bengali]] ({{lang-bn|নামাজ}}).<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.bl.uk/sacred-texts/articles/prayer-in-islam | title=British Library }}</ref>

=== In the Quran ===
The noun {{transliteration|ar|ṣalā}} ({{wikt-lang|ar|صلاة}}) is used 83 times in the [[Quran]].<ref name=CQ/><ref>Gerrans, S., "The Quran: A Complete Revelation", 2016</ref>

{{transliteration|ar|[[Tafsir]]}} ([[exegesis]]) of the Quran can give four reasons for the observation of {{transliteration|ar|salah}}.

==Procedure==
[[File:Different postures of a Muslim service.jpg|thumb|Various prescribed movements in {{transliteration|ar|salah}}, which collectively constitute a {{transliteration|ar|[[Rakat|rak'ah]]}}. From left to right: {{transliteration|ar|rukū'}}, {{transliteration|ar|[[Qiyam|qiyām]]/i'tidal}}, {{transliteration|ar|[[Sujud|sujūd]]}}, {{transliteration|ar|[[Takbir|takbīr]]}} and {{transliteration|ar|[[Sitting in salah|qu'ūd/julūs]]}}.]]
{{Main|Rakat}}

Each {{transliteration|ar|salah}} is made up of repeating units known as {{transliteration|ar|[[rakat]]}} ({{Lang-ar|رَكَعَات}}, {{Abbr|sing.|singular}} {{transliteration|ar|rak'ah}}). Each prayer may consist of two to four {{transliteration|ar|rakat}}. Each {{transliteration|ar|rak'ah}} consists of specific movements and recitations. On the major elements there is consensus, but on minor details there may be different views. Between each position there is a very slight pause. The phrase {{transliteration|ar|Allahu akbar}} ({{transliteration|ar|[[takbir]]}}), is recited when moving from one position to another, except from rukū' to qiyām.

=== Beginning ===
Before prayer, a Muslim should always perform {{transliteration|ar|[[wudu]]}}, an act in which the hands are first washed, the mouth and nose are cleaned, the face is cleaned, the arms up to the elbow are washed, and the head is wiped over with wet hands, including the ears, before finally the feet are washed. Intention, known as {{transliteration|ar|[[niyyah]]}}, is a prerequisite for {{transliteration|ar|salah}}, and what distinguishes worship from 'going through the motions'. Some authorities hold that intention suffices in the heart, and some require that it be spoken, usually under the breath.<ref name="Haddad">{{Cite book|last1=Haddad|first1=Yvonne Yazbeck|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XDLcBAAAQBAJ&q=standing+in+salat&pg=PA162|title=The Oxford Handbook of American Islam|last2=Smith|first2=Jane I.|date=2014-01-01|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=9780199862634|page=162|language=en}}</ref>

The person praying begins in a standing position known as {{transliteration|ar|[[qiyam]]}}, although people who find it difficult to do so may begin while sitting or lying on the ground.<ref name="Chittick" /> This is followed by the raising of the hands to the head and recitation of the {{transliteration|ar|[[takbir|takbīr]]}}, known in combination as {{transliteration|ar|takbīrat al-iḥrām}} or {{transliteration|ar|takbīrat at-taḥrīmah}} (consecratory {{transliteration|ar|takbīr}}). {{transliteration|ar|Takbīr}} is read as {{transliteration|ar|Allaahu Akbar}} ({{lit|God is The Greatest}}). One then lowers one's hands. The first {{transliteration|ar|takbīr}} represents the beginning of prayer. From this point forward one praying may not converse, eat, or do things that are otherwise [[halal]]. A Muslim must keep their vision low during prayer, looking at the place where their face will contact the ground during prostration.<ref name="Haddad" /><ref name="Ciaravino">{{cite book|last1=Ciaravino|first1=Helene|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=y3fLj-hzngcC&q=rakat+salah&pg=PA140|title=How to Pray: Tapping into the Power of Divine Communication|publisher=Square One Publishers (2001)|year=2001|isbn=9780757000126|page=137}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last1=Al-Tusi|first1=Muhammad Ibn Hasan|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FO6CBMZU5xgC&q=how+do+takbirat+al-ihram%3F&pg=PA58|title=Concise Description of Islamic Law and Legal Opinions|publisher=Islamic College for Advanced Studie; UK ed. edition (1 October 2008)|year=2008|isbn=978-1904063292|pages=57–59}}</ref>

===Common elements of each {{transliteration|ar|rakat}}===

Still standing, the next principal act is the recitation of {{transliteration|ar|[[Fatiha|Al-Fatiha]]}}, the first chapter of the Quran. This chapter begins with praise of God and then a supplication is made to God. In the first and second {{transliteration|ar|rakat}}, another portion of the Quran is recited following the {{transliteration|ar|[[Fatiha]]}}. This is followed by saying {{transliteration|ar|Allaahu Akbar}} and raising the hands up to the ear lobes ({{transliteration|ar|rafah yadain}}) followed by {{transliteration|ar|rakooh}} (bowing from the waist), with palms placed on the knees (depending on the {{transliteration|ar|[[madhhab]]}}, rules may differ for women). While bowing, those praying generally utter words of praise under their breath, such as {{lang|ar|سبحان ربي العظيم}} ({{lit|Glory be to my Lord, the Most Magnificent}}), thrice or more. As the worshipper straightens their back, they say {{lang|ar|سمع الله لمن حمده}} ({{lit|God hears the one who praises him}}) and {{lang|ar|ربنا لك الحمد}} ({{transliteration|ar|rabbanā laka l-ḥamd}}, "Our Lord, all praise be to you.")<ref name="Haddad" />[[File:Yemeni fighter praying.jpg|thumb|Yemeni Muslim in {{transliteration|ar|[[Sujud|sujūd]]}}, performing {{transliteration|ar|salah}} in the desert during the [[North Yemen Civil War]]]]

This is followed by saying {{transliteration|ar|Allaahu Akbar}} and raising the hands up to the ear lobes, before the worshipper kneels and prostrates with the forehead, nose, knees, palms and toes touching the floor, saying {{lang|ar|سبحان ربى الأعلى}} ({{lit|Glory be to my Lord, the Most High}}). After a short while in prostration, the worshipper very briefly rises to sit, then returns to the ground a second time.

==Types of salah==
Prayers in Islam are classified into categories based on degrees of obligation. One common classification is [[fard]] ("compulsory"), [[sunnah]] ("tradition") and [[Nafl prayer|nafl]] ("voluntary").<ref>[http://www.albalagh.net/kids/understanding_deen/Salat.shtml "Understanding Salat"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090828004222/http://www.albalagh.net/kids/understanding_deen/Salat.shtml|date=28 August 2009}} from Albalagh</ref>

===Compulsory prayers===
The five daily prayers are considered by many to be obligatory on every Muslim who has reached the age of [[puberty]], with the exception of those for whom it may not be possible due to physical or mental disabilities,<ref>{{cite book|last1=Elshabrawy , Hassanein|first1=Elsayed, Ahmad|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ymt-BgAAQBAJ&q=Prayer+is+not+obligated+in+Islam+when+illness+or+physically+unable&pg=PA3|title=Inclusion, Disability and Culture (Studies in Inclusive Education)|date=3 February 2015|publisher=Sense Publishers (28 November 2014)|isbn=978-9462099227|pages=3–6}}</ref> and those menstruating ([[Menstruation in Islam|hayd]]) or experiencing postnatal bleeding ([[Postpartum period|nifas]]).<ref>{{cite book|last1=GhaneaBassiri|first1=Kambiz|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9w8yBohfbgMC&q=salah+forbidden+for+someone+be+menstruating&pg=PA4|title=Competing Visions of Islam in the United States: A Study of Los Angeles|publisher=Praeger (30 July 1997)|year=1997|isbn=9780313299513}}</ref> Those who are sick or otherwise physically unable to offer their prayers in the traditional form are permitted to offer their prayers while sitting or lying, as they are able.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Turner|first1=Colin|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=utxkAgAAQBAJ&q=who+someone+to+offer+their+prayers+in+the+traditional+form+are+permitted+to+offer+their+prayers+while+sitting+or+lying%2C+as+they+are+able&pg=PA107|title=Islam: The Basics|date=19 December 2013|publisher=Routledge; 2nd edition (24 May 2011)|isbn=978-0415584920|pages=106–108}}</ref> Each of the five prayers has a [[salah times|prescribed time]], depending on the movement of the sun. These are the [[Fajr prayer]] (2 rakat, observed at [[dawn]]), [[Zuhr prayer]] (4 rakat, observed at [[noon]]), [[Asr prayer]] (4 rakat, observed late in the [[afternoon]]), [[Maghrib prayer]] (3 rakat, observed after [[sunset]]), and the [[Isha prayer]] (4 rakat, observed at [[nighttime]]). Salah must be prayed in its time. In certain circumstances, one may be unable to offer one's prayer within the prescribed time. In this case, the prayer must be offered as soon as possible. Several hadith narrate that Muhammad stated that it is permissible to pray salah out of its permissible time if a person accidentally sleeps through the prescribed time. However, knowingly sleeping through the prescribed time for Salah is deemed impermissible by most scholars.<ref name="qaraati">{{cite web|last1=Qara'ati|first1=Muhsin|title=The Radiance of the Secrets of Prayer|date=5 January 2017 |url=https://www.al-islam.org/radiance-secrets-prayer-muhsin-qaraati/congregational-prayer-salat-al-jamaah-etc#compensatory-qadha-prayer|publisher=Ahlul Bayt World Assembly}}</ref> [[File:Salattimesturkish.jpg|thumb|Display showing prayer times in a Turkish mosque]]

==== ''Qasr'' (Shortening Prayers) ====
When traveling over long distances, one may shorten the ''[[Zuhr prayer|Zuhr]]'', ''[[Asr prayer|<nowiki/>'Asr]]'' and ''[[Isha prayer|<nowiki/>'Isha'a]]'' prayers (which are normally 4 rakat) to 2 [[rakat]], a practice known as ''qasr''.<ref name="Buyukcelebi">{{cite book|last1=Buyukcelebi|first1=Ismail|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=53EPNr8qeLgC&q=Conditions+of+Congregational+Prayer&pg=PA206|title=Living in the Shade of Islam|publisher=Tughra (1 March 2005)|year=2005|isbn=978-1932099867}}</ref>

==== ''Jam''' (Combining Prayers) ====
In ''[[Shia Islam|Shia]]'' [[Jaʽfari jurisprudence|''Ja'fari'' Fiqh]], one may perform ''jam' bayn as-salātayn'', which refers to praying the ''Zuhr'' and 'Asr prayers in combination at one of its time, as well as the ''Maghrib'' and ''Isha'a'' prayers at one of its time. However, praying separately is considered better. Neither ''qasr'' nor ''jam' bayn as-salātayn'' can be applied to the Fajr prayer.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Sharaf al-Din al-Musawi|first1=Sayyid Abd al-Husayn|title=Combining The Two Prayers|date=18 October 2012|url=https://www.al-islam.org/questions-jurisprudence-abd-al-husayn-sharaf-al-din-al-musawi/chapter-one-combining-two-prayers|publisher=Hydery Canada Ltd}}</ref>

Barring the [[Hanafi|Hanafites]], [[Sunni Islam|Sunni]] jurisprudence also permit to combine ''[[Maghrib prayer|Maghrib]]'' and ''[[Isha prayer|<nowiki/>'Isha'a]]'' prayers or ''[[Zuhr prayer|Dhuhr]]'' and ''[[Asr prayer|<nowiki/>'Asr]]'' prayers if they are traveling and incapable of independently performing the prayers.

==== Sunni view ====
Of the ''[[fard]]'' category are the five daily prayers, as well as the Gathering prayer (''[[Jumu'ah]]''), while the [[Eid prayers]] and ''[[Witr]]'' are of the ''Wajib'' category.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Schade|first1=Johannes|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XRkfKdho-5cC&q=Fard+%28obligatory%29+Salah&pg=PP714|title=Encyclopedia of World Religions|publisher=Mars Media/Foreign Media (9 January 2007)|year=2006|isbn=978-1601360007}}</ref> Abandoning the obligatory prayers due to negligence is ''[[Kafir|Kufr]]'' (disbelief) according to the stricter [[Hanbali]] ''[[madhhab]]'' of [[Sunni Islam]], while the other Sunni ''madhhabs'' consider doing so a major [[sin]]. However, all four ''madhhabs'' agree that denial of the mandatory status of these prayers invalidates the faith of those who do so, rendering them [[Apostasy in Islam|apostates]]. The Islamic prophet [[Muhammad]] is reported to have said: "Between man and polytheism and unbelief is the abandonment of salat." ''(Sahih Muslim Book 1, hadith 154).''<ref>{{Cite web|title=Sahih Muslim 82b - The Book of Faith - كتاب الإيمان - Sunnah.com - Sayings and Teachings of Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه و سلم)|url=https://sunnah.com/muslim:82b|access-date=2021-09-26|website=sunnah.com}}</ref>

Fard prayers (as with all ''fard'' actions) are further classed as either ''[[fard al-ayn]]'' (obligation of the self) and ''[[fard|fard al-kifayah]]'' (obligation of sufficiency).{{citation needed|date=July 2020}} ''Fard al-Ayn'' are actions considered obligatory on individuals, for which the individual will be held to account if the actions are neglected.<ref>{{cite web|last1=The Oxford Dictionary of Islam|title=Fard al-Ayn|url=http://www.oxfordislamicstudies.com/article/opr/t125/e624|website=oxfordislamicstudies}}</ref> ''Fard al-Kifayah'' are actions considered obligatory on the Muslim community at large, so that if some people within the community carry it out no Muslim is considered blameworthy, but if no one carries it out, all incur a collective punishment.<ref>{{cite web|last1=The Oxford Dictionary of Islam|title=Fard al-Kifayah|url=http://www.oxfordislamicstudies.com/article/opr/t125/e625|website=oxfordislamicstudies}}</ref>

Followers of Imam [[Abu Hanifa]] also include a 6th obligatory prayer, ''[[witr]]''. It is supposed to be the last prayer of the night and is composed of an odd number of rakat. This obligation is considered a lesser obligation to the other 5 obligatory prayers, in that its rejection is not an act of disbelief according to the [[Hanafi]] school. The other schools consider this to be a ''[[Sunnah prayer|Sunnah muakkadah]]'' (emphasized ''[[sunnah]]'').

Some Islamic scholars require men to offer the mandatory salat in congregation (''jama'ah''), behind an [[imam]] when they are able however, according to most Islamic scholars, prayer in congregation is ''[[mustahabb]]'' (recommended) for men, if they are able to do so.<ref>{{cite web|title=Rules of Salat (Part III of III)|url=http://www.al-islam.org/laws/jamaatprayers.html|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120510022158/http://www.al-islam.org/laws/jamaatprayers.html|archive-date=10 May 2012|access-date=12 May 2012|publisher=Al-Islam.org}}</ref>

The Jumu'ah is a congregational prayer on Friday, which replaces the Zuhr prayer. It is compulsory upon men to pray this in congregation, while women may pray it so or offer Zuhr prayer instead.<ref>{{cite book|author=Fahd Salem Bahammam|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rNujP218FuQC&pg=PA20|title=The Muslim's Prayer|publisher=Modern Guide|isbn=9781909322950|access-date=29 January 2018}}</ref> Jumu'ah consists of a [[sermon]] (''[[khutbah]]''), after which two rakats are prayed.<ref name="Akhtar Rizvi 1989">{{cite book|last=Akhtar Rizvi|first=Sayyid Saeed|title=Elements of Islamic Studies|publisher=Bilal Muslim Mission of Tanzania|year=1989}}</ref> Since the khutbah replaces the two rakat of Zuhr, it is believed that listening to it carefully compensates the [[Thawab|thawāb]] of 2 rakat.<ref>{{cite book|author=Margoliouth, G.|title=Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics|publisher=Kessinger Publishing|others=Selbie, John A., contrib|year=2003|isbn=978-0-7661-3698-4|editor=Hastings, James|volume=20|pages=893–894|chapter=Sabbath (Muhammadan)}}</ref>

The salah of the '<nowiki/>''Idayn'' is said on the mornings of [[Eid al-Fitr|<nowiki>''</nowiki>Eid al-Fitr]] and [[Eid al-Adha|'''Eid an-nahr'']]. The Eid prayer is classified by some as ''fard'', likely an individual obligation (''[[fard al-ayn]]'') though some Islamic scholars argue it is only a collective obligation (''fard al-kifayah''). It consists of two rakats, with seven (or three for the followers Imam [[Abu Hanifa]]) ''takbirs'' offered before the start of the first rakat and five (or three for the followers of Imam Abu Hanifa) before the second. After the salah is completed, a sermon (''[[khutbah]]'') is offered. However, the khutbah is not an integral part of the Eid salah.<ref>{{cite web|title=Islam Today|url=http://www.islamtoday.net/english/show_detail_section.cfm?q_id=871&main_cat_id=25|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071017002519/http://islamtoday.net/english/show_detail_section.cfm?q_id=871&main_cat_id=25|archive-date=17 October 2007}}</ref> The Eid salah must be offered between sunrise and true noon i.e. between the time periods for ''[[Fajr]]'' and ''[[Zuhr prayer|Zuhr]]''.<ref name="Buyukcelebi" />

===Supererogatory prayers===
{{Main|Supererogatory prayers}}

====Sunnah and nafl====
Sunni Muslims perform optional [[Sunnah prayer|sunnah salah]] (voluntary prayers offered by [[Muhammad]]) of two categories: ''sunnah mu'akkadah'' (verified sunnah) and ''sunnah ghair-mu'akkadah'' (unverified sunnah). The primary difference between the two being the frequency of Muhammad having performed the relevant salah. Certain sunnah prayers have prescribed times. Those ordained for before each of the fard prayers must be offered between the first call to prayer ([[adhan]]) and the second call ([[iqama]]h), which signifies the start of the fard prayer. Those sunnah ordained for after the fard prayers can be said any time between the end of the fard prayers and the end of the current prayer's waqt.{{citation needed|date=March 2022}}

While Sunni Muslims classify these prayers as sunnah, [[Shia Islam|Shia]] consider them [[Nafl prayer|nafl]]. Nafl salah are voluntary and can be offered at any time.<ref>{{cite web|title=prayers|url=http://www.islamicsupremecouncil.com/prayers.htm|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120213191026/http://www.islamicsupremecouncil.com/prayers.htm|archive-date=13 February 2012|access-date=14 May 2012|work=islamicsupremecouncil.com}}</ref> Many Sunni Muslims also offer two rakats of nafl salah after the Zuhr and Maghrib prayers. During the Isha prayer, they pray the two rakats of nafl after the two ''sunnah mu'akkadah'' and ''wajib'' prayers.<ref name="al-islam">{{cite web|title=A Shi'ite Encyclopedia|date=12 November 2013|url=https://www.al-islam.org/shiite-encyclopedia/prayer-salat-according-five-islamic-schools-law-part-1|publisher=Ahlul Bayt Digital Islamic Library Project}}</ref> There are many specific conditions or situations when one may wish to offer nafl prayers.

== Differences in practice ==
[[File:Tehran Friday prayer - 16 March 2018 (13961225000386636568071894544919 84859).jpg|right|thumb|A Sunni Muslim (left)<ref>{{Cite web|title=Sunan Abi Dawud 759 - Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat) - كتاب الصلاة - Sunnah.com - Sayings and Teachings of Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه و سلم)|url=https://sunnah.com/abudawud:759|access-date=2021-03-12|website=sunnah.com}}</ref> and [[Shia]] Muslim (right) performing the [[Friday prayer]] in [[Tehran]]. Some Sunnis perform salah with the hands clasped ("qabd"), while Shia offer salah with their hands at their sides ("sadl").]]

Muslims believe that Muhammad practiced, taught, and disseminated the worship ritual in the whole community of Muslims and made it part of their life. The practice has, therefore, been concurrently and perpetually practiced by the community in each of the generations. The authority for the basic forms of the salah is neither the hadiths nor the Quran, but rather the consensus of Muslims.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://al-mawrid.org/pages/articles_english_detail.php?rid=156&cid=312|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724232305/http://al-mawrid.org/pages/articles_english_detail.php?rid=156&cid=312|url-status=dead|title=Al-Mawrid|archivedate=24 July 2011|website=al-mawrid.org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Mishkat al-Masabih 981 - Prayer - كتاب الصلاة - Sunnah.com - Sayings and Teachings of Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه و سلم)|url=https://sunnah.com/mishkat:981|access-date=2021-04-19|website=sunnah.com}}</ref>

This is not inconsistent with another fact that Muslims have shown diversity in their practice since the earliest days of practice, so the ''salah'' practiced by one Muslim may differ from another's in minor details. In some cases the [[Hadith]] suggest some of this diversity of practice was known of and approved by Muhammad himself.<ref>{{cite web|author=Muhammad al-Bukhari|author-link=Muhammad al-Bukhari|title=Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of military expeditions|url=https://sunnah.com/bukhari/64/163|access-date=17 October 2019}}</ref>

Most differences arise because of different interpretations of the [[Usul al-fiqh|Islamic legal sources]] by the different schools of law (''[[madhhab]]s'') in [[Sunni Islam]], and by different legal traditions within [[Shia Islam]]. In the case of ritual worship these differences are generally minor, and should rarely cause dispute.<ref>{{cite web|author=Abdal Hakim Murad|author-link=Timothy Winter|title=Understanding the Four Madhhabs|url=http://www.masud.co.uk/ISLAM/ahm/newmadhh.htm|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100329111030/http://www.masud.co.uk/ISLAM/ahm/newmadhh.htm|archive-date=29 March 2010|access-date=25 May 2010}}</ref>

[[File:MohrQum1.jpeg|thumb|upright=0.6|left|A [[turbah]] or mohr is a small piece of soil or clay, often a clay tablet, used during salah to symbolize earth.]]

Common differences, which may vary between schools and gender, include the position of legs, feet, hands and fingers, where the eyes should focus, the minimum amount of recitation, the volume of recitation (audible, moving of lips, or just listening ({{illm|Loud prayer|ar|صلاة جهرية}}, {{illm|Silent prayer|ar|صلاة سرية}})), and which of the principal elements of the prayer are indispensable, versus recommended or optional.{{cn|date=April 2022}}

A 2015 [[Pew Research Center]] study found that [[women]] are 2% more likely than [[men]] to pray on a daily basis.<ref>{{cite news|last=Swanson|first=Ana|date=2016-03-30|title=Why women are more religious than men|newspaper=The Washington Post|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/03/30/why-women-are-more-religious-than-men/|url-status=live|access-date=2018-01-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160331144547/https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/03/30/why-women-are-more-religious-than-men/|archive-date=31 March 2016}}</ref>

==Prayer in congregation==

Prayer in the [[Wiktionary:congregation|congregation]] (''[[Jamia|jama'ah]]'') is considered to have more social and spiritual benefits than praying by oneself.<ref name="Qara ati">{{cite book |last1=Qara ati |first1=Muhsin |title=The Radiance of the Secrets of Prayer |date=18 February 2018 |isbn=978-1496053961 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CHgttAEACAAJ&q=The+Radiance+of+the+Secrets+of+Prayer+Mohsin+Qaraati}}</ref> As per ''hadith'' traditions, the reward of a prayer in congregation increases twenty-five times. A ''hadith'' says: "The prayer in congregation is twenty five times superior to the prayer offered by person alone." (''Sahih Bukhari 646'').<ref>{{Cite web|title=Sahih al-Bukhari 646 - Call to Prayers (Adhaan) - كتاب الأذان - Sunnah.com - Sayings and Teachings of Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه و سلم)|url=https://sunnah.com/bukhari:646|access-date=2021-09-26|website=sunnah.com}}</ref>

When praying in congregation, the people stand in straight parallel rows behind one person who conducts the prayer, called imam, also called the 'leader'. The imam must be above the rest in knowledge, action, piety, and justness and possess faith and commitment the people trust, Balanced Perception of Religion and the best knowledge of the Quran.<ref name="qaraati" /> The prayer is offered as normal, with the congregation following the imam in order as he/she offers the salah.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Hussain |first1=Musharraf |title=The Five Pillars of Islam: Laying the Foundations of Divine Love and Service to Humanity |date=10 October 2012 |publisher=Kube Publishing Ltd (10 October 2012) |isbn=978-1847740540 |pages=77–78 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BT49BAAAQBAJ&q=in+jamaah+salat+congregation+following+the+actions+and+movements+of+the+imam&pg=PA77}}</ref>

===Standing arrangement===
For two people of the same gender, they would stand in line, the imam would stand on the left, and the other person is on the right. For more than two people, the imam stands one row ahead of the rest.{{citation needed|date=July 2020}}

When the worshippers consist of men and women combined, a man is chosen as the imam. In this situation, women are typically forbidden from assuming this role. This point, though unanimously agreed on by the major schools of Islam, is [[women as imams|disputed by some groups]], based partly on a ''[[hadith]]'' whose interpretation is controversial. When the congregation consists entirely of women and pre-pubescent children, one woman is chosen as imam.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/861819.stm|title=Iranian women to lead prayers|publisher=BBC|access-date=2008-02-11 | date=2000-08-01}}</ref> When men, women, and children are praying, the children's rows are usually between the men's and women's rows, with the men at the front and women at the back. Another configuration is where the men's and women's rows are side by side, separated by a curtain or other barrier,<ref>{{cite book |last1=Cornell |first1=Vincent J. |title=Voices of Islam: Voices of life : family, home, and society |year=2007 |publisher=Praeger Publishers; 1st edition (1 January 2007) |isbn=978-0275987350 |pages=25–28 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ixO4b6jlbLYC&q=in+islam+Who+is+not+obliged+to+pray%3F&pg=PA25}}</ref> with the primary intention being for there to be no direct line of sight between male and female Worshippers.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Maghniyyah |first1=Muhammad Jawad |title=Prayer (Salat), According to the Five Islamic Schools of Law |date=21 November 2016 |url=https://www.al-islam.org/prayer-salat-according-five-islamic-schools-law-sheikh-muhammad-jawad-mughniyya/salat-al-jamaah |publisher=Islamic Culture and Relations Organisation}}</ref>

== Professed benefits==
According to the Qur'an, salah prevents [[fahisha]] and forbidden acts:<ref>{{cite book |last1=Yılmaz |first1=Hakkı |title=WHAT IS SALAH? |publisher=Hakkı Yılmaz |pages=40, 41 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=McZ2DwAAQBAJ&dq=salah+ankabut+45+fahisha&pg=PA41 |access-date=9 July 2023 |language=en}}</ref>

==Lawsuits==
On 15 November 2011, in the country's highest defamation suit, the [[Supreme Court of India|Supreme Court]] upheld the Bombay High Court's order requiring Times Now to pay ₹100 crore. The channel had erroneously run the picture of Supreme Court judge [[P.B. Sawant]] picture instead of someone similarly named as part of a [[Employees' Provident Fund Organisation|Provident Fund]] scandal, and the payment went directly to Sawant.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/SC-asks-Times-Now-to-deposit-Rs-100-crore-before-HC-takes-up-its-appeal-in-defamation-case/articleshow/10734614.cms|title=SC asks Times Now to deposit Rs 100 crore before HC takes up its appeal in defamation case|work=Times of India|access-date=27 July 2016|date=15 November 2011|archive-date=11 January 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160111110205/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/SC-asks-Times-Now-to-deposit-Rs-100-crore-before-HC-takes-up-its-appeal-in-defamation-case/articleshow/10734614.cms|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2018, Times Now aired derogatory remarks about activist Sanjukta Basu. She filed a complaint with the [[News Broadcasting & Digital Standards Authority|News Broadcasting Standards Authority]] in March 2019. In October 2020 she moved Supreme Court claiming that her case was pending with NBSA. Before the case could be listed for hearing in the Supreme court, NBSA released the judgement on her complaint. NBSA ordered Times Now to air apology on live TV at 8PM and 9PM during the [[prime time]] and submit DVD copies of the same. NBSA found that Times Now had not contacted Basu to get her version and failed to verify the facts before broadcasting. This conduct was judged to be a violation of NBSA guidelines.

===2020 Delhi riots===
In 2021, the [[News Broadcasters & Digital Association#News Broadcasting & Digital Standards Authority|National Broadcasting and Digital Standards Authority (NBDSA)]] found that debates by two Times Now anchors – Rahul Shivshankar and Padmaja Joshi on the topic [[2020 Delhi riots]] were not conducted in an "impartial and objective manner". NBDSA found that the anchors had "violated the Fundamental Principles as enumerated in the Code of Ethics and Broadcasting Standards and various Guidelines issued by NBDSA". In his order NBDSA chairperson Justice (retired) A.K. Sikri directed Times Now to take down videos of from YouTube and websites. NBDSA had ordered this responding to the complaint filed against Shivshankar accusing him of selectively showing the observations of the courts and the police to make it appear as if the [[CAA protests|anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act protestors]] were responsible for the religious violence. The order quoted, "The coverage was done to target a community that is critical of the Delhi Police’s investigation and project them and their critique in a negative light, thereby unduly hindering the right of the viewer to have a fact based view on the matter and amounted to a sustained campaign to challenge a position, without intimating to the viewers what that position is in its entirety or allowing panellists to explain the same".<ref name="NBDSA">{{cite news |title=Two of Times Now's Debates on Delhi Riots Were Not Impartial, Objective: NBDSA |url=https://thewire.in/media/two-of-times-nows-debates-on-delhi-riots-were-not-impartial-objective-nbdsa |access-date=5 March 2022 |work=The Wire |date=22 November 2021 |archive-date=5 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220305110839/https://thewire.in/media/two-of-times-nows-debates-on-delhi-riots-were-not-impartial-objective-nbdsa |url-status=live }}</ref>

According to a 2022 ''[[BBC News]]'' article, several Indian news anchors including Times Now's Shivshankar are known to shout down their panelists and ranting during their show, and have been accused of bias towards India's governing party, [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] and Prime Minister [[Narendra Modi]].<ref name="BBC McAdams">{{cite news |title='I am Mr McAdams': TV anchor Rahul Shivshankar yells at wrong man on Ukraine live |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-60614274 |access-date=4 March 2022 |work=BBC News |date=4 March 2022 |archive-date=4 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220304074307/https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-60614274 |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Events ==
{{Uncited section|date=September 2022}}
One team totally dominated Indian cricket in the 1960s. As part of 15 consecutive victories in the [[Ranji Trophy]] from 1958–59 to 1972–73, [[Bombay cricket team|Bombay]] won the title in all ten seasons of the period under review. Among its players were [[Farokh Engineer]], [[Dilip Sardesai]], [[Bapu Nadkarni]], [[Ramakant Desai]], [[Baloo Gupte]], [[Ashok Mankad]] and [[Ajit Wadekar]].

In the 1961–62 season, the [[Duleep Trophy]] was inaugurated as a zonal competition. It was named after former England cricket and [[Ranjitsinhji|Ranjitsinhji's]] nephew, [[Kumar Shri Duleepsinhji]] (1905–59). With Bombay in its catchment, it is not surprising that the [[West Zone cricket team|West Zone]] won six of the first nine titles.{{What|reason=What is writer want to say here?|date=September 2022}}

==A curious query==
Hello Wiki Dwarf! I am an old user in English Wikipedia. When I tried to log in here with the same account and password, it failed. Btw, my queries are: 1) Is this wikipedia a part of Wikimedia sister projects? 2) Sometimes, I found some articles, though not original of here (I mean they seems to be imported from the simple English wikipedia), does this mean that all the articles are imported? 3) Can I create my user account here and at the same time, can I create original articles here? Though articles with similar names exist in the en wikipedia?
[[Special:Contributions/47.29.19.238|47.29.19.238]] ([[User talk:47.29.19.238|talk]]) 00:04, 8 May 2021 (IST)
:{{re|47.29.19.238}} Hello there, Bharatpedia is an independent platform (please see [[Wikipedia:General disclaimer]]) so you won't be able to login using your Wikipedia account details, but you may create a new account under the same username. Account creation is not required in order to read or edit this site, but if you wish to create new articles you can sign up with a new account and can create articles on notable topics, no matter if the particular article exists on Wikipedia under the same or similar name. Some articles here are imported from Wikipedia and you may notice a disclosure at the end of each page such as [[Achappam]] and if you can't find such disclosure, you can add one by placing <code><nowiki>{{en-Wikipedia}}</nowiki></code> at the end of the article.

:::Finally, I read the article you cited. Next, 4) Is it mandatory for me to create my new user account here with the exactly same username from the wikipedia org? Next, 5) Do I need special permission to edit, create an article here? 6) Like wikipedia, can I perform edits here normally? 7) Can I import article from the wikipedia? For that, do I need special rights or powers here? I mean all these in good faith. And I have a strong desire to have my service here.

::::{{re|47.29.19.238}} No it's not mandatory to create a new account with exactly the same user name on Wikipedia, it's your choice if you wish to keep both accounts under the same username. You don't need special user rights to edit pages on this site, but several actions including article creation in the main namespace are restricted to user accounts that are at least 4 days old and have made at least 10 edits.

::And, another thing, can I create a draft page and how should I start that? SonOfZeus 18:49, 9 May 2021 (IST)

::And another thing, can I request you for importing articles from wikipedia? SonOfZeus 12:30, 12 May 2021 (IST)
:::Sure you can list the articles [[Wikipedia:Requested articles|on this page]]. [[User:WikiDwarf|WikiDwarf]] ([[User talk:WikiDwarf#top|talk]]) 19:40, 12 May 2021 (IST)
::::But sir, I don't find any link to go to any particular page where I can write the name of the article which I want to request for import.(1) Could you please show me the link for the page where I could write the request? (2) At the same, if I could personally request you at your talk page, please import [[Meitei deities]] and [[List of figures in Meitei mythology]] from simple English Wikipedia.

:: But sir, (1) [[Meitei deities]] is a redirect page of another page. The main page is not imported yet from Simple English Wikipedia. (2) How many articles can I request at a time? Is there any limitation of number of articles at a single request? (3) If something gets changed in the article at general wikipedia, will it's imported equivalent article in this wikipedia get affected? For example, an article "x" has been deleted in general wiki, what about its equivalent article "x" in this wiki? SonOfZeus 10:55, 14 May 2021 (IST)
:::I have imported its corresponding article please see [[List of Meitei gods and goddesses]]. You can request as many articles as you wish as there is no limit.

[[User:WikiDwarf|WikiDwarf]] ([[User talk:WikiDwarf#top|talk]]) 12:02, 14 May 2021 (IST)
:::: Thank you sir. And, one thing is that can a page be created or imported by anonymous users? I saw [[Irai Leima]] being imported by an anonymous. Is that a vandalism? As you are a check user also, what do you see. Who's that? SonOfZeus 13:27, 14 May 2021 (IST)
:::::No, that article was imported using the tool by an admin and the most recent revision was included so that's the reason [[Irai Leima]] looks like created/imported by anon. [[User:WikiDwarf|WikiDwarf]] ([[User talk:WikiDwarf#top|talk]]) 14:06, 14 May 2021 (IST)
