Q & A
Why is closing the eyes during prayer considered problematic?
-Closing the eyes during prayer is considered problematic because it is seen as something prohibited by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He emphasized that those who wish to follow his guidance should abstain from closing their eyes during prayer, as it is associated with the practices of other religious groups, specifically the Yahood (Jews).
What can happen if a person moves too much during Salah?
-If a person moves too much during Salah without care, it can potentially nullify their prayer. However, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised to avoid excessive movement but did not prohibit movement entirely, as it's important to maintain a balance between stillness and natural movement.
What is the correct way to say 'Allahu Akbar' when transitioning between positions in Salah?
-The correct way to say 'Allahu Akbar' during Salah is to pronounce it while transitioning into the next position, not after reaching it. For instance, 'Allahu Akbar' should be said while going into ruku (bowing), not after reaching the bowing position.
Why is it a mistake to say 'Allahu Akbar' only after reaching the next position?
-It is a mistake to say 'Allahu Akbar' only after reaching the next position because it contradicts the practice of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The phrase should be recited while moving into the position, as he demonstrated during his prayers.
What does it mean to have relaxation in Salah positions?
-Having relaxation in Salah positions means reaching a state of calm and stillness when performing actions like ruku and sujood. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) emphasized the importance of being relaxed in these positions to ensure the prayer is performed properly.
What are the consequences of not being relaxed during Salah?
-Not being relaxed during Salah can lead to a hurried and incomplete prayer. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) instructed his companions to be calm and relaxed in every position, as this promotes focus and mindfulness, both in prayer and in other aspects of life.
What is the significance of proper timing when transitioning between positions in Salah?
-Proper timing in transitioning between positions ensures that the prayer is performed in line with the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Saying phrases like 'Allahu Akbar' during movement, rather than after reaching a position, reflects a more accurate and respectful practice of Salah.
What mistake do people often make with the takbir when standing after ruku?
-The common mistake people make is saying 'Allahu Akbar' either after standing up fully from ruku or during the process of standing. The correct practice is to finish the takbir once the person is completely standing.
How does the act of being relaxed in Salah reflect on a person’s life outside prayer?
-Being relaxed in Salah is linked to being calm and focused in other areas of life. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) emphasized that relaxation during prayer reflects a person’s overall ability to remain composed and tranquil in daily tasks.
Why is it important to perfect small details in Salah, such as timing and movement?
-Perfecting small details in Salah, like the timing of movements and phrases, is crucial because these aspects are part of following the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) example. Attention to detail shows respect for the prayer and ensures that it is performed in a complete and mindful manner.

Transcripts
closing the eyes during prayer this is a
huge problem and this is something that
the prophet sallallah alai wasallam also
mentioned that this was uh something
that he prohibited for himself and also
for the companions as well and
even also mentions that anybody who
wishes to follow the guidance of the
messenger. they should abstain from
closing their eyes during the prayer
iMed mentions that this is actually the
from the actions of the yahoodi and how
they would pray we try to stay away from
or try to abstain from closing our eyes
the Salah next error a person moving too
much in prayer this is the next problem
moving too much in prayer
some have said for a person who moves
carelessly too much in prayer can
actually break their Salah can actually
nullify their
prayer however the prophet
Sall what he mentioned was to protect
yourself
from protect yourself from too much
movement in the Salah and that's
important to understand because what
that tells you is that the prophet s
wasallam did not prohibit any movement
in Salah so you literally don't have to
train yourself to be like a statue and
focused in the but the prophet wasam
here from this narration what it teaches
us is that we try to limit that as much
as possible now we come to the mistakes
in the when it comes to the mistakes in
the now this is important listen to this
saying the in
the OR
saying in the standing position this is
a mistake when it comes to the prayer so
how does this look
is that a person will when they finish
the and then they bow down in the and
they
say but when they say allahar it's
they're already in the position that's
the mistake and if they want to come out
of the position they will stand
up this is the mistake it's a very very
particular mistake to pay attention to
why because the prophet
sallam tells us this is the authentic
Hadith that proves this is that the
prophet was
of describes it that he would make the
in other words he would say allahar when
he goes into the ru whilst he is going
into the ru not when he arrives in the
position and then he would say
so not when he reaches to the standing
position but whil he's standing a lot of
people don't even know this a lot of
people don't even think about that this
could actually be an error in perfecting
their prayer so what do you want to do
what you'd like to do is you'd like to
make sure that your ends when you arrive
in the position that you want to get
into so when you get out of the now
you see I
finish once I get into the complete
standing position so that's important
again it was a very particular practice
of the Prophet sallallah alaihi wasallam
next mistake when it comes into the uh
R and this here is not just for the and
that is the lack
of the lack of relaxation in those
positions not being relaxed when you get
into the r when you get into the
now the prophet
s. ordered us to
have or have relaxation be calm when you
reach these positions now listen to the
words of how this Hadith is constructed
the prophet sallam is telling this
companion I want you to perform a r
until you become relaxed in the r itself
this all goes back to one important
concept and that is
when a person is relaxed in Salah they
are going to be relaxed in everything
that they do in their life
