Yes, but unfortuelty, some masjids don’t follow the right timings and have it fixed to 1 and 1/2 hour from sunset throughout the year and this is totally wrong. The time of Maghrib: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The time for Maghrib lasts until the twilight has faded.” i.e., […]

We know that there is a place in the dua of ishtikaarah where one should mention his need. Is it a must or can we just recite the (Arabic) dua without mentioning the need on our lips?

You should name it and mention it. Praise be to Allaah. The description of Salaat al-Istikhaarah was reported by Jaabir ibn ‘Abd-Allaah al-Salami (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to teach his companions to make istikhaarah in all things, just as he […]

I want to ask that when we go into sajdah in Salah what should touch the ground first, our hands or our knees???

It is an issue of dispute. I support Hands before knees

I have few brothers with me most often they stay with me.But all the time they go late for prayer and if i have to call them me miss first jamah every time. So should i just call them just once and go out though i have a fear they will not come to mosque if i leave them they will pray at home. And How about if someone is sleeping and i he doesn’t want me to call him for pray

If you call your friends for prayer you will be rewarded and those who do not want to be called then leave them as your intention is good. Go and pray and leave them if you are afraid of missing the prayer yourself.

One of islamic lecturer in our country says that we cant or we shouldn’t read dua or ask something in our native language to Allah(swt). He says that boldly that we can read only ayah from quran. But we cannot make any dua for our sake. Is it authentic sheikh? Because i have seen your lectures, they are contrasted to our local lecturer’s lecture.

This is not correct! Reciting the Quran in sujood is prohibited and one can make Duaa in Arabic but if he doesn’t know how to do it in Arabic, he may use his native language. Allah is the lord of all and not only of the Arabs!

In ruku can u say “subhan arrabiyal adheem” once or must it be three times? And also in sujood can u say “subhan arrabiyal a’la” once or must it be three times too?

You can say it once.

The prayer is invalid

Sheikh, is this authentic? Abu Umama al-Bahili (Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) was asked as to which supplication (dua) was most quickly accepted? He replied: “In the middle of the night and after the obligatory (fard) prayers.”

This is authentic. It is noteworthy to say that the translation is wrong and it is not “after the obligatory prayers” as this is an innovation. The correct translation is: “at the end of obligatory prayers”! This means before Salam.

At times, in the prayer, the Imam in the takbeer just says Allah, not Allahu akbar. Does this Invidate the prayer of the Imam?

If he says it but in a low voice, the prayer is valid but it must be brought to his attention to stop such a practice.
