Sheikh, is the 2 Sunnah rahkats before fajr that the prophet (saws) said it is better than the world and everything in it is that considered as tahajjud or does it only have the first reward. if I make the intention to follow that Sunnah and also make the intention to pray tahajjud do I get both the reward. The reward of tahajjud and the reward of the 2rakats before fajr.

Prayer

Sheikh why must a women cover herself so much while praying? Covering her feet with socks and then wearing an outer garment. Who are we doing pardah from? We are standing infront of Allah and he knows us inside out. Then why should we cover infront of Allah? Everyone says islam is a religion of ease. If one doesnt do these things will her prayer be accepted?

Prayer

ANSWER: With your logic, we can even pray nude! You don’t have to cover your feet with socks if your outer garment covers your entire feet! And this order of covering up was given to us by Allah and we as slaves have no choice but to obey and not question Allah’s commands!
