7 Common mistakes usually we make in prayers

Listed below are the 7 Common mistakes usually we make in prayers

Mistake 1: Reciting Surat al-Fatiha fast without pausing after each verse.

The Prophet (SAW) used to pause after each verse of this surah (Abu Dawood)

Mistake 2: Sticking the arms to the sides of the body, in rukoo' or sujood,
and sticking the belly to the thighs in sujood.

The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: "Let not one of you support himself
on his forearms (in sujood) like the dog. Let him rest on his palms and
keep his elbows away from his body." (Sahih Muslim) . The Messenger
of Allah (SAW) used to keep his arms away from his body during rukoo'
and sujood that the whiteness of his armpits could be seen (Sahih Muslim).


Mistake 3: Gazing upward during prayer.

This may cause loss of concentration. We are commanded to lower
our gaze, and look at the point at which the head rests during sujood.
The Prophet (SAW) warned: "Let those who raise their gaze up during
prayer stop doing so, or else their sights would not return to them. i.e.
lose their eyesight]." (Muslim)


Mistake 4 : Resting only the tip of the head on the floor during sujood.

The Prophet (SAW) said: "I am commanded to prostrate on seven
bonesthe forehead and the nose, the two hands [palms], the two knees,
and the two feet." (Sahih Muslim) Applying the above command
necessitates resting the forehead and the nose on the ground during sujood.


Mistake 5 : Hasty performance of prayer which does not allow repose
and calmness in rukoo' or sujood.

The Messenger of Allah (SAW) saw a man who did not complete hi
rukoo' [bowing], and made a very short sujood [prostration] ; he (SAW)
said: "If this man dies while praying in this manner, he would die upholding
a religion other than the religion of Muhammad." Abu Hurairah (RA) said:

"My beloved friend, Muhammad (SAW) forbade me to perform postures
of prayer copying the picking of a rooster; (signifying fast performance
of prayer), moving eyes around like a fox and the sitting like monkeys
( i.e. to sit on thighs)." (Imam Ahmad & at-Tayalisi) The Messenger of
Allah (SAW) said: " The worst thief is the one who steals from his
own prayer." People asked, 'Messenger of Allah! How could one steal
from his own prayer?' He (SAW) said: "By not completing its rukoo'
and sujood."(At Tabarani & al-Hakim).

To complete rukoo' is to stay in that posture long enough to recite
'Subhana rabbiyal Adtheem' three times, SLOWLY, and 'Subhana rabbiyal
-a'ala' three times, SLOWLY, in sujood. He (SAW) also announced: "He
who does not complete his rukoo' and sujood, his prayer is void."
(Abu Dawood & others)


Mistake 6 : Counting tasbeeh with the left hand

http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/2862/r12sm6.png

The Prophet (SAW) used to count tasbeeh on the fingers of his right
hand after salah. Ibn Qudamah (RA) said: " The Messenger of Allah
(SAW) used his right hand for tasbeeh." (Abu Dawood). The above
hadeeth indicates clearly that the Prophet (SAW) used only one hand
for counting tasbeeh. No Muslim with sound mind would imagine that
the Prophet (SAW) used his left hand for counting tasbeeh. Aa'ishah (RA)
said that the Prophet (SAW) used his left hand only for Istinjaa', or
cleaning himself after responding to the call of nature. He never used it
for tasbeeh. Yasirah (RA) reported: The Prophet (SAW) commanded
women to count tasbeeh on their fingers.

The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: "They (the fingers) will be made
to speak, and will be questioned (on the Day of Resurrection. )"
(At-Tirmidhi .. The above Hadeeth indicates that it is preferable to
count tasbeeh on the fingers of the right hand than to do so on
masbahah (rosary).


Mistake 7 : Crossing in front of a praying person.


http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/5859/r14el9.png


The Messenger of Allah (SAW) warned: "Were the one who crosses
in front of a praying person to know the consequences of doing so,
he would have waited for *forty better than to cross in front of him."
(Sahih Bukhari and Muslim). *The forty in the tradition may be days
months or even years. Allah knows best.

near and dear ones to take care of the above.

Eid is fun and great
It's time to celebrate

Eid Mubarak to everyone come on
Let's have lots of fun!

Everyone's going to the mosque to pray
People are grateful, it's a special day.

"Mmmm"... the taste of the delicious food
Really puts you in a good mood.

Everybody's wearing their posh clothes
And the guys are cruising in their
Flashy cars on the roads.

Children opening their gifts with smiles
On their faces and having fun going
Out to different places.

All of a sudden the day comes to an end
Well what can I say...
Thank you for a lovely day!!!

After Ramadan


The Holy month of Ramadaan came like seasonal rain and passed by. This rain did not water the plants and crops -it showered upon the hearts of believers. It is sad, but true, that the hearts of the majority of Muslims are stricken with spiritual drought and spiritual decadence. It is a drought caused by excessive indulgence in un-Islamic activities, immoral behaviour, unjust actions, unfair dealings etc. Drought caused by lack of rain destroys crops -drought caused by lack of piety, lack of fear of Allah and lack of Allah consciousness destroys the SPIRITUALITY of the heart.

Ramadaan's spiritual rains brought to life the Masaajid and other prayer places. Ramadaan had fanned the dying spark of charity .Ramadaan had awakened the dying spirit of tolerance, patience and sympathy for the less fortunate.

Now that we come to the end of Ramadaan the big question is what to do? Did we go through all the spiritual exercises in Ramadaan in order that we may have the freedom to indulge, on Eid day, in all types of immoral, shameless and indecent amusement? Did we restrain ourselves from halaal food, drinks and other pleasures from dawn to sunset throughout Ramadaan, so that we may return with renewed vigour to gambling, drinking, adultery and fornication? Will the spirit of tolerance, mercy, patience, charity and sympathy be still evident or will these noble qualities be shelved until the dawn of the next Ramadan?

Will the Masajids which were filled on most nights in Ramadaan remain the same or will they become empty wondering where the faithful have gone?
Our lifetsyles after Ramadaan will show whether we used the month to bring about a total reformation within ourselves or are we going to waste the valuable opportunity?

The National and international position of the Muslim communities leaves much to be desired. Muslims are lamenting the loss of lives, destruction of property, oppression, tyranny, injustice and a host of other problems all over the world. They are wondering why the promised help of Allah to the believers is nowhere in sight. Just one glance into the lifestyles of the overwhelming majority of the Muslims is sufficient to answer the question. Millions of Muslims do not have much to their credit besides Muslim names.

Allah's help comes with action and Islamic qualities -not with names or faces - Arabs or non-Arabs, African or European, Chinese or Indians. On the other hand every group, organization, society or individual who talks Islam, seems to have got its own brand of Islam. The Islamic teachings which were left behind for us, crystal clear and pristine pure, have become so adulterated with foreign customs, alien practices and un-Islamic ideologies, that a new Muslim has to make an effort to search for the Quran and Sunnah brand of Islam or remain confused and ignorant.

May Allah Ta'ala on the occasion of Eid give us the guidance to resolve that we shall make the Quran and Sunnah our guiding lights and practise Islam as much as possible. If the non-Muslim inhabitants of our country see Islam in the lives of Muslims, they will not require much persuasion to accept our beautiful deen.
