During juma, in the middle of the khutbah, the imam stops sometimes to say a pray for the prophet, and he does this out loud in Arabic. But then, sometimes, the imam will stop to pray in silence and everyone else follows this.So I’m wondering, what is this silent prayer? It seems like everyone else knows exactly what to pray and I’m always sitting there somewhat lost, . I’m new to Islam, so I’m just trying to learn everything I can.

I am not sure I understand your question. Probably you are referring to the pause between the two speeches where the Imam sits down for a while. During this time most people ask Allah for forgiveness. And Allah knows best

Can i pray 2 raakah during the khutbah has started during the Juma’a prayer. Some say its OK while some are of the opinion that once the adhan is called for the commencement of khutbah then you are not suppose to pray 2 raakah that you should just sit and listen. Please clarify this confusion for me. Thanks.

If a person enters the masjid after the athan or while the Imam is delivering the Khutba, he must not sit down before praying 2 Rak’ah. This is the instruction of our Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam. And Allah knows best

Praise be to Allaah. Prayers should not be offered in mosques in which there are graves. The graves should be dug up and the remains transferred to the public graveyards, with each set of remains placed in an individual grave as with all other graves. It is not permissible for graves to be left in […]

During qayam al Lail since many of the non Arabic speakers do not understand what the Imam is supplicating, is it better to pray at Masjid in congregation or can one pray at home and supplicate to Allah Subhana Wa Taala one to one.

It is best to pray at the masjid as this is the way of the Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam in Ramadan. And Allah knows best

I hear the Adhaan of several Masjids but the Masjid that I go gives Adhaan 2-3 minutes later to all the Masjids. I usually go before the Adhaan to the Masjid I attend so if I reach the Masjid before the Fajr Adhaan can I pray the Sunnah as I heard the other Masjid’s Adhaan? or I should wait for the Masjid which I attend to give Adhaan then proceed.

This depends on which masjid you believe is calling the Athan on time. A lot of masjids call the Athan few minutes before the real time so that people would stop eating in Ramadan. This is wrong because if people pray, their pray would be invalid because it was done before the proper time. Therefore, […]

It is best not to visit the Prophet’s grave salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam as it is an issue of dispute and the most authentic opinion is that it isn’t permissible for women to do so. And Allah knows best

Many can not attend the masjids. We often live too far from the masjid. But we can meet at a home for congregrational prayer. For the sake of clarification would you shed some light on this issue. Would this meet the requirements of making salat?
