AL QURAN

O mankind! Worship your Lord (Allah), who has created you As well as those before you; Do so that you are saved. It is He Who has made the earth A resting-place for you, And the sky a canopy, And sent down water from above With which He brought forth fruits for your sustenance. Do not, then, set up rivals to Allah When you know (the truth). (The Qura'n 2:21-22)

AL_HADITH

Narrated Sahl: The Prophet said, "There is a gate in Paradise called Ar-Raiyan, and those who observe fasts will enter through it on the Day of Resurrection and none except them will enter through it. It will be said, 'Where are those who used to observe fasts?' They will get up, and none except them will enter through it. After their entry the gate will be closed and nobody will enter through it."

Topic: Women's mode of sajda as compared to that of men

. Asalaam-u-Alaikum We have been taught that women's Sajda is performed in a different way, from men. In Sajda they say, that Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) has asked women to prostrate by sitting on the legs , and taking the feet out on the right side. And resting the arms on the ground, and thighs touching the chest.Is this way of performing the Sajda right for women, and has our Prophet (P.B.U.H) taught women to perform Rukoo, Sujood and the whole prayer differently from men? As Sajda is the most important part of the prayer, kindly reply as soon as possible.

Dear Brother Assalamu Alaykum In his I'laau-Sunan, al-Tahanawi stated that Umar said that a woman in sujud should be resting her arms on the ground, and her thighs should be touching her chest. vol, 2, p. 747

Topic: Changing the prescribed timing of salat and/or making up missed salat

Assalamu-Alaikum: I have certain doubts about certain Fard we follow in Islam and it would be very kind of U if U could help me clear my doubts as soon as possible .The doubts are as folows:1. In a Fard Namaz of more than 2 Rakats is it necessary not to read any Sura after Sura Fateah, and if so why? 2.As we can read Nama Kazah why can't we read a Namaz before its time due to our need of going out during that time of the Namaz and our bility to read it at its specified time. To make myself more clear, suppose it is 5.00pm which is usually the time of Ashar Namaaz. I can't read the Magribh Namaaz at its allotted time of 6.35pm as I have to go at 6.00pm. So my question is can I read the magrib Namaaz somewhere at 5.45pm making a Niyaat of Magribh Namaaz. Thanking U in anticipation, Your Brother, Shujaat

Dear Khurram Assalamu Alaykum It is a well known established principle in Islam that any kind of ibadah or physical worship prescribed to be done in a specified time, day, or number cannot be done otherwise. In most cases, you can't rationally perceive the wisdom behind this principle. For example why are Zuhr, Asr and Esha prayers 4 rak'ats, while Maghrib namaz consists of 3 and Fajr is only 2.? I don't think any one can give the logic behind it other than, it's a command from Allah and we have to obey it and that is KMALIL 'Ubudiyya.( truthful service to God) Similarly, no one can make any changes to them.
