Yesterday someone asked you about the correct way to say ayatul kursi in morning and evening. And your response was: you simply start reciting it directly without reciting anything before it. And this made a lot of people confused, including me.. What about seeking refuge from the shaitan? What about dhikr? Istighfar? Please explain and tell us the correct order.

ANSWER: You simply start reciting it directly without reciting anything before it.

Sometimes after finishing praying with the Salam I raise my hands & make Dua to Allah in my language (since I can’t speak Arabic). I know that dua should be said while still in the prayer but I struggle with memorizing long Arabic Duas & feared of making my prayers invalid if I say it in my language. Is that allowed? I don’t do it routinely & dont do it in congregation.

ANSWER: It’s an innovation to raise the hands and make dua after salah. If you make the dua after salah once in a blue moon without raising hands, it’s OK but you must not make it a habit as this is the time for doing the prescribed dhikr and you should make dua in your […]

Please tell me whether what I am doing is good or wrong: before sleeping I cup my hands, blow in it and say the 3 Quls and wipe my body. I do this three times. Then I recite Surah Al Mulk and Ayatul Kursi. To finish things off, I recite Al Kafiroon as I read a hadith about it preventing you from Shirk. Is what I am doing good? Thank you.

ANSWER: No. It’s only done in the place you’re physically in. However when you recite your daily adhkar, there’s a Dua in it for protecting your wealth and children. You will find these and other Sunnah supplications for throughout the day and night in a small booklet called ‘Hisnul Muslim’, in English it’s called ‘Fortress […]

ANSWER: This hadeeth with the addition that Allah will please him on the day of judgement is weak and not authentic. However, this thikr is authentic to be said after the athan and also 3 times with the morning athkar.
