Chapter two will focus on the proper way in performing prayers. While in chapter three, the researcher will elaborate the meaning of ‘aurah’ and its relation with women’s prayer. The last chapter is the main topic which should be learned by women in order to understand the term ‘qadha’ in Islam and to what extend it is applicable. Other related matters will also be explained in this chapter for example the connection of ‘qadha’ with women after their menstruations period known as ‘haidh’ or the period after giving birth known as ‘nifas’ or ‘wiladah’.
