Iqâmat-as-Salât :
The performance of Salât (prayers).

It means that :

a) Each & every Muslim, male or female , is obliged to offer his Salât (prayers) regularly five times a day at a specified times, the male in a mosque in congregation & the female at home.

As the Prophet(Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) has said:

"Order your children for Salât (prayers) at the age of seven & beat them (about it) at the age of ten ."

The chief (of family,town, tribe, etc) and the Muslim rulers of a country i held responsible before Allah in case of non fulfillment of this obligation by Muslim under their authority.

b) one must offer their Salât (prayers) as the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) used to offer them with all the rules and regulations,
i.e., standing, bowing, prostrating, sitting, as
He Sallallahu alaihi wasallam has said:
" Offer your Salât (prayers) the way you see me offering them

(see Sahih Al-Bukhari),Vol.1,H.No.604 & Vol.9,H.No.352)."

[For the characteristics of Salât (prayer) of the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam ) see Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.1, H.No.702,703,704,723,786,787]
