Rakats

 

• Sunnah 
• Farz/fard
• Witr/wajib
• Nafl

 

 

[Preety_India]

 

 

Muakkadah means sunna prayers which the Prophet never abandon. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) always performed these acts which makes them Muakkadah. Acts that belongs to this category of Muakkadah is considered a must for Musilims. Ghair Muakkadah means sunnah which is not reliable. I mean these are acts which Prophet Muhammad (SAW) sometimes performed and sometime did not perform. Act that belongs to this category of Ghair Muakkadah is optional for Musilims to follow.

 

 

[Preety_India]

 

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

 

PBUH - peace be upon him. And the other version is Peace and Blessings be upon him.

 

Allah (SWT)

Subhanahu wa ta'ala, Arabic for "The most glorified, the most high", Muslim honorific.

In Arabic, "Subhanahu wa ta'ala" translates as "Glory to Him, the Exalted" or "Glorious and Exalted Is He." In saying or reading the name of Allah, the shorthand of "SWT" indicates an act of reverence and devotion toward God. Islamic scholars instruct adherents that the letters are intended to serve as reminders only.

Allah SWT (which is the short form abbreviation) Allah subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Allah subhana watala.

Important points.

 in every rakat, the recitation of surah fatiha is a must

 

Rakah offered during each prayer of the day (in order): Fajr: - 2 rakah sunnah         - 2 rakah

 farz Dhur:   1- 4 rakat sunnah               2- 4 rakat farz                3- 2 rakat sunnah

 Asr:       1-  4 rakat farz

Maghrib:  1- 3 rakat farz                    2- 2 rakat sunnah

Isha:      1- 4 rakat farz                     2- 2 rakat Sunnah               3- 3 rakah witr wajb.

 

so 4 rakah sunnah

means in that prayer you need to perform 4 rakat 

and the prayer type is sunnah

for sunnah recitation remains the same

 

for farz, the first two rakat recitation remains the same, meaning that you just say surah fatiha and one more surah, as you know

However, in farz, the rakah performed after the first two rakah, you don't recite another surah after surah fatiha

you cut that part out only

Meaning you perform the  farz by saying everything throughout all the rakats then after the first two rakat only  recite surat Fatiha and not any other surah in the standing position

 

As Muslims honor the prophet as the highest and savior. So they  want everything to be absolute and said absolutely the same. It might mean the same thing, but for the general population of Muslims. Since, they view this Prophet as sacred, making a tiny error will you know trigger them. So thats why its insulting to change the line Peace be upon him or using it casually.

What do you think "Qiyamat ka din" means? It means End of days

 

Glossary 

Jaza kallah  meaning - May Allah reward you with Goodness

Walid is the male parent and Um أم is female parent 

 

Shalwar Kameez is the general muslim dress. 

 

Firstly  the shia Musilims are very dysfunctional and possessed with victim mentality

It all just boils down to Islamic history

In Islamic history their were two great people,"Abu Bakr" and "Ali"

 

and it just the matter of which one of them was the successor after the death of the great Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

The shia says it is Ali

The sunni says it is Abu Bakr or no-one

by no-one It means  its up to people to decide

The Ashoura. The process is called tatbir

2. Committing murder: (25 68) (2 of 7 fatal Sins)
And they who do not call upon another god with
Allah and do not slay the soul, which Allah has
forbidden except in the requirements of justice,
and (who) do not commit fornication and he who
does this shall find a requital of sin (25 68)

 

3. Practising black magic (2: 102) This even
takes one out of the folds of Islam
Three do not enter heaven: the alcoholic, the
severer of the bonds of kinship, and the one who
believes in magic.

 

4. Not performing the Prayers (19: 59)
Then, there has succeeded them a posterity who
have given up prayers and followed lusts. So they
will be thrown in hell, except those who repent.
(19: 59) Qur'an
What has caused you to enter Hell? They will say
we were not of those who prayed.

 

5. With holding the Zakah (Charity ) (3: 180)
 

 

6. Not fasting on a Day of Ramadan without

excuse

"Islam is built upon five pillars: testifying that

there is no true god except Allah and that

Muhammad is the messenger of Allah,

performing the prayers, paying the Zakah, making

the pilgrimage to the house, and fasting the

month of Ramadhan

As for the believers, he who commits the sin of

not fasting Ramadan with nor permission or

excuse is more evil than he who commits

adultery or drinking liquor.

 

 

7. Not performing Hajj, while being able to do so

(above tradition)

8. Disobeying and Disrespect to parents (17:23)

Thy Lord has decreed that you worship none but

Him, and that you be kind to parents. Whether

one or both of them attain old age in your life, say

not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them,

but address them, in terms of honour. And out of

kindness, lower the wing of humility to them and

say: My Lord! bestow on them they mercy even

as they cherished me in childhood.

Allah's satisfaction is out of parents satisfaction,

and His anger is out of theirs.

What is considered Haram in Islam ?

9. Cutting off the ties of relationships (47: 22)

Then is it to be expected of you if you were put in

authority that you will do mischief in the land an

break your ties of kith and kin? Such are the men

whom Allah has cursed for he has made them

deaf and blinded their sights. (47:22)

The Breaking of the bonds of kinship does not

enter Paradise.

He who believes in Allah and the Hereafter

should keep in contact with his kins.

What is meant in this tradition are the ones who

leave their poor kins when he is wealthy, and also

the ones who leave their kins by ignoring

fooling, and showing dryness towards them.
