Q. (a) “Why is du’a of qunoot prayed during the ‘Isha’ Prayers (specially in the Witr). There must be a reason behind it.”
(b) “Since du’a qunoot is a du’a, can we use it to pay it in other prayers i.e. after finishing Fajr prayer?”
The literal meaning of Waqof is to stay. The stay at Arafat for a while from the time after Zuhr (Midday) on the 9th of Zilhijja up to the daybreak (on the 10th) is the basic fundamental of Hajj. It is Wajib to stay at Arafat till sunset of the 9th. It is Mustahab to take a bath before moon but if it is difficult, making an ablution only will also suffice. Being so prepared a pilgrim should go to Masjid-e-Namira. Here the Imam-ul-Muslimin (The leader i.e., ruler of the Muslims) or his vicegerent will deliver the 2nd Khutba of Hajj which is Sunnat, not Wajib. He will then lead the congregation of Zuhr and Asr prayers taking them togather in the time of Zuhr. In this case two Sunnat prayers of Zuhr will be abandoned.
Rule Of Action
On the day of Arafa in Arafat, this combining of Zuhr and Asr prayers togather in the time of Zuhr is Sunnat or Mustahab but this is subject to the condition that you are wearing the Ihram of Hajj and the prayers are performed in the leadership of Imam-
ul-Muslimin or his vicegerent. Firstly Zuhr and then Asr prayers are to be performed separately.
The one who disdains the prayers will receive fifteen punishments from Allah.
Six punishments in this lifetime
Three while dying
three in the grave &
three on the Day of Judgment.
THE SIX PUNISHMENTS OF LIFE:
1. Allah takes away blessings from his age (makes his life misfortunate)
2.Allah does not accept his plea (Dua’s)
3.Allah erases the features of good people from his face.
4. He will be detested by all creatures on earth.
5. Allah does not award him for his good deeds. (No thawab)
6. He will not be included in the Dua’s of good people.
1. Not performing a condition from one of the outside conditions of namaaz (shart)
2. Not performing a fard element of namaaz
3. To talk in namaaz whether intentionally or by mistake (forgetfulness)
4. To make a dua in the namaaz similar to the dua of common people for example: O Allah marry me to fulaana. Or to say Oh Allah give me apples to eat I’m hungry.
5. To return salaams to someone with your tongue or shaking hands
6. Amali katheer-performing such an action by which an observer has the impression that one is certainly not performing namaaz
There are three times during which no fard or wajib salaat can be performed:
From sunrise to after it has risen,
When the sun is at its zenith at midday until it shifts from its position.
When the sun turns yellow until it sets.
The exception is if a janaaza becomes ready so it should be prayed or sajdah tilawat may be done at these times.
Likewise it is valid although makrooh to perform the ASR of the same day after the sun has turned yellow.
It is mustahab (preferable, praiseworthy) for men to perform fajr when there is more brightness in the sky. For women it is mustahab when it is not yet bright.
In summer zuhr salaat should be performed at a time when the day is cooler, and should be hasten in winter, except when it is overcast.
It is permissible to delay the asr as long as the sun does not change color (becomes yellow). To delay more than this is highly disliked. In overcast conditions asr should be hastened.
Maghrib should also be hastened except when overcast.
1. If a person reaches the musjid of his area or the musjid
nearest to his home at a time when the jama’at is over, then it is mustahab
for him to go to another musjid with the intention of getting the jama’at over
there. He also has the choice of returning home, getting his house-folk together
and making jama’at with them.
1. The mudrik does not have to make any qira’at. The qira’at of the imam is sufficient for all the muqtadis. According to the Hanafee school of thought, it is makruh for the muqtadis to make qira’at behind the imam.
2. It is fard on the masbuq to make qira’at for the rakaats which he missed.
3. In other words, the muqtadi should not make qira’at in the presence of the imam. However, the masbuq has to make qira’at because the imam is not present for the rakaats which he missed.
