Performing Salah with contentment

We must not rush while performing Salah. We must accomplish all postures in Salah with contentment. In Ruk’u, we must allow all the joints of the body to settle before raising the head. Similarly, while rising from Ruk’u', we should stand up straight. Many people go into Sajdah before standing up straight. It is a mistake and a big shortcoming. When performing Sajdah, one must allow all the joints of the body to settle in its place before raising the head. And when one raises the head from Sajdah, one must sit properly before making the second Sajdah. Performing Salah quickly and hastily causes such defects in Salah that it is as if one did not even perform the Salah.
