Q. Some people seem to recite words used in Salah without moving their lips. What is the correct method?
A. Well, reciting words verbally is necessary in salah, no matter how low the voice is. But, the movement of the tongue, and the movement of lips in the required words, is necessary. Now, if a person stands in salah and recites everything within his heart, his salah will remain simply unperformed.
Q. Some people look here and there while in salah. Is this permissible?
The second important factor is that the Jihad organisations should not become an organ of the state at any time. Though according to the circumstances and situations, for the welfare of the Jihad and the Muslims, mutual cooperation between the Jihad Movements and the states is not a bad thing and in some situation it is vital, but to depend completely on the states for procurement, resources and to submit to the state’s dictate and their policies, would tantamount to an act of suicide.
Hadrat Abu Zarr Ghifari (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that my beloved friend has specially recommended the following seven things.
1. Loving the needy and destitute,
2. Looking towards those who are below me (i.e. those who do not possess as much as I have) and should not look towards those who are above me (i.e. those who have much more provision for worldly life than I have). In some traditions it has been reported that by doing so a habit of patience and thankfulness is created and it is evident also.
It was his noble habit to sit cross-legged after having said morning prayer and ask the people about their dreams. Who ever should have seen a dream, he would mention it. Before hearing the dream he would recite:
Accept the good and guard against the evil. Let (this dream) bode good for us and evil for our enemies. Praise be to ALLAH, the Cherisher of the worlds. Later he abandoned the practice. [Zad-ul-Ma’ad, Shamail-e-Tirmizi]
A:
Surely, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there are signs for the people of wisdom,
Who remember Allah standing and sitting, and (lying) on their sides, and ponder on the creation of the heavens and the earth (and say) ―Our Lord, You have not created all this in vain. We proclaim Your purity. So, save us from the punishment of Fire.
Now on the way from Mina to Makkah your staying for a while at the place of Muhassab is Sunnat. Nowadays, the conveyance of Motor Lorries is not usually in one’s own control. It is therefore very difficult to stay anywhere on the way. As such, there is no harm if due to this helplessness one does not stay at Muhassab (Zaubda).
After offering sacrifice it is Wajib to have your head shaven or your hair cut equal in length to a joint of a finger (about one inch). But it is not necessary to be done today. It may be done at any time upto the 12th of Zilhijja but you will remain under the restrictions of Ihram whatever length of time you may pass until you have your head shaven or your hair cut. In case you have your head shaven or your hair cut on the 10th of Zilhijja you will be relieved from Ihram formalities. Now, wearing sewn clothes, using perfumes, pruning nails and having your hair cut, all these things become lawful for you, but your enjoying a sexual intercourse with your wife will not be lawful until you are relieved from the obligation of Tawaf-e-Ziyarat i.e. Tawaf-e-
Fardh.
Allah Most High says,
{The Day that the shin shall be laid bare, and they shall be summoned to prostrate, but they shall not be able. Their eyes will be cast down–ignomity will cover them, seeing that they had been summoned aforetime to bow in adoration, while they were whole, (and had refused).} (Al-Qalam: 42-43)
Ka’b Al-Ahbar said, this Ayah is only revealed concerning those who miss the congregational prayers.
Sa’id Ibn Al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) said, “Those people heard the call to prayer and did not respond while they were whole.”
(بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم)
With the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Very-Merciful.

Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud related that the Prophet (pbuh) said,
“I have considered having a man lead people at prayer and going myself to those who stay back from attending the congregational prayer to bum their houses down upon them.”
“If the people forgo the Friday Prayer, Allah will set a seal on their hearts for them to become heedless.”( Muslim)
“Whoever misses three Friday prayers without a legal excuse, Allah will set a seal on his heart.”( Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi)
“Whoever misses the Friday prayer without a (legal) excuse or a danger will be accounted amongst the hypocrites in a record that cannot be erased or altered.”( Ahmad)
