Answer 2

Not praying, if god has a plan for you I dont think he wants your input on how to execute it.

Answer 3

to believe in your heart that you are a sinner and that Jesus Christ paid the penalty for your sins and ask Him to forgive you and cleanse you of your sins..  

Answer 4

Salam for you dear. The correct way of praying ,your hands should be on the chest above your liver and heart.Your left hand should be under your right hand while you are standing.

Answer 5

not hands on chest, but hands DOWN on both sides of each. When u stand up normally, do u put ur hands on ur chest or keep them down and relaxed? That's exactly how u shud stand up while praying. Stand up normally and sit normally and then pray. That's the correct way, The Shia Way. The way Rasoolullah (Saww) and The 12 Imams (as) prayed. Make life easier man. Islam is not that hard. Some things are pretty straightforward in Islam and fulla common sense! Just need to use ur brain

Answer 7

The correct way of praying is to concentrate and feel the presence of the Lord. You should close your eyes and think only of talking to the Lord. Thank God, ask for forgiveness seriously and then tell him your wishes or what you want to happen because if you'll never say so HE'll never give it to you...

shaykh al Albaanee rahimahullaah wrote the book "Sifat as Salaatun Nabee" where he compiled all the authentic narrations pertaining to the salaah of the Prophet salallaahu alaihi wa salam.

Answer 9

Men should place hands across the chest (NOT navel). Women should also place hands across the chest.

Fiqh 1.132. Al-Kamal ibn al-Hamam is of the opinion, "There is no authentic hadith stating that one must place the hands under the chest or below the navel. According to the Hanifiyyah, the hands are to be placed below the navel, and the Shafiyyah say below the chest. Ahmad has two narrations corresponding to these two opinions. The correct position is somewhere in the middle - to be equal." Observes at-Tirmidhi, "Knowledgeable companions, their followers and those that came after them believed that one should put his right hand over the left during prayer, while some say above the navel and others say below the navel..." Nevertheless, there do exist hadith that the Propet, upon whom be peace, placed his hands on his chest. Reported Hulb at-Ta'i, "I saw the Prophet, upon whom be peace, praying with his right hand over his left upon his chest above the elbow." This is related by Ahmad and at-Tirmidhi, who grades it as hassan.

Fiqh 1.132. Reported Wa'il ibn Hajr, "Once when I prayed with the Prophet, upon whom be peace, he placed his right hand over his left upon his chest." The report is recorded by Ibn Khuzaimah, who considers it as sahih, and by Abu Dawud and an-Nasa'i with the wording, "Then he put his right hand over the back of his left wrist and forearm."

Answer 12

This is the correct form of the Muslim prayer.

And for your information the Sunni Muslims place their hands on their chest whilst Shia do not. This is one of the differences in prayer between us.

So from the Sunnis you will be getting an answer with 'Yes. Placing your hands on your chest is correct' Whereas the obvious Shia reply would be a 'No.' =]
