Namaz (salah) with Jamat(congregation) series

Bismillah irRahman irRahim
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Often, while offering namaz by Jamat (i.e. salah in congregation) I see people making some small but important mistakes. In this series inshaAllah, I will try and speak of these mistakes and also suggest how to avoid these mistakes insha Allah.

Abu Hurayra said, "A believer is the mirror of his brother. When he sees a fault in it, he should correct it.” (Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 238, graded Hasan by Al Albani)


Please note that the objective of this series is not to criticise people or point out mistakes in them but rather to correct them as is expected from a Muslim, Alhamdulillah. In case, you know a better way or find anything wrong in this, please do write it in the comments.

The decision of Hajj: My Journey to Hajj with My Father

<Thanks to my wife for this sketch> Since I can remember, my mother had always expressed her deep desire to embark on the sacred pilgrimage of Hajj. It was a dream she held close to her heart since her childhood, an aspiration she longed to fulfill. Despite traveling outside India to places like Canada, Singapore and Malaysia, she yearned for Hajj to be her first journey beyond the borders of her homeland. However, as the saying goes, "We plan and Allah also plans, and He is the best planner" (Quran 8:30). Allah had different plans for my mother. A few years later, she passed away, and the opportunity to fulfil her lifelong dream of Hajj slipped away. Her departure left a void in our lives, and my father's health began to deteriorate. In 2018, my father suffered a severe heart attack, and the doctors were uncertain if he would survive. By the grace of Allah, he pulled through, defying the odds. As his health remained fragile, the weight of my mother's unfulfille...

Surah Nisa - Day 2 - Orphans and marriage commands

Bismillah hir Rahmanir Rahim In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful Today, I studied verse number 2,3 & 4. Here is the english translation of the three verses. 4:2 -  And give unto orphans their property and do not exchange (your) bad things for (their) good ones; and devour not their substance (by adding it) to your substance. Surely, this is a great sin. 4:3 -  And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan-girls, then marry (other) women of your choice, two or three, or four but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one or (the captives and the slaves) that your right hands possess. That is nearer to prevent you from doing injustice. 4:4 -  And give to the women (whom you marry) their Mahr (obligatory bridal money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage) with a good heart, but if they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it to you, take it,...

We Maharashtrians

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful Specially written for the so called outsiders in Pune Praise be to Allah. I would like to begin with defining the word Maharashtrian. Maharashtrian according to me doesn't mean someone with a specific religious ideology, I define Maharashtrian like I define an Indian so Maharashtrian, I thus define as someone who is born & brought-up in Maharashtra. Once this is clear let us go ahead. I have been in Pune for almost a year now, and been a Maharashtrian as well as a practicing Muslim I feel it’s mandatory to clarify all the following allegations made against we Maharashtrians. 1. Maharashtrians don't speak any other language than Marathi India is a vast country with diverse cultures, there are more than 100 languages spoken here. I am proud to be a citizen of India. Now being a vast country with so many languages spoken, for the purpose of efficient administration our states are divided o...
