Q & A

What is the timing of the Maghrib prayer as demonstrated by Angel Jibril?

Angel Jibril demonstrated that the timing of Maghrib is very short, beginning immediately after the sunset until the sky in the western direction turns yellow. This period is sufficient for purification, covering the aurah, performing the Adhan (call to prayer), and praying three Rak'ahs.

Why is the Maghrib prayer time considered so short?

The Maghrib prayer time is considered short because it starts immediately after sunset and lasts only until the yellow hue of the western sky disappears. This time frame is just enough for performing purification, covering the aurah, giving the Adhan, and praying the three Rak'ahs.

How does the timing of Maghrib differ from other prayers?

Unlike other prayers, where the timing can be delayed or extended (such as the Dhuhr prayer), Maghrib prayer has a fixed, short window. Angel Jibril demonstrated that it is not to be delayed beyond the specified time, which is just the period from sunset to the fading yellow sky.

What is the significance of Angel Jibril’s example of prayer times?

Angel Jibril’s example highlights the precise timing for prayers, showing that some prayers like Maghrib have strict time limits, while others, such as Dhuhr, can be performed earlier or later within their prescribed windows.

Why is it important to follow the timing of Maghrib prayer exactly as shown by Angel Jibril?

It is important to follow the exact timing for Maghrib prayer because delaying it beyond the designated window is considered sinful. Angel Jibril’s practice of performing Maghrib immediately after sunset serves as a clear example for believers to follow.

How does the time for the Dhuhr prayer differ from that of Maghrib?

The Dhuhr prayer has a more flexible time window, where it can be performed either at the beginning of its time or at the end, after the sun has passed its zenith. In contrast, Maghrib has a fixed time, starting with the sunset and ending once the western sky has lost its yellowish hue.

What is the maximum duration for performing Maghrib prayer?

The maximum duration for performing the Maghrib prayer is the time it takes to purify oneself, cover the aurah, give the Adhan, perform the Iqamah, and complete the three Rak'ahs. This is typically around the time between sunset and the disappearance of the yellow hue in the western sky.

Is there any flexibility in the Maghrib prayer time?

No, there is no flexibility in the Maghrib prayer time. It must be performed immediately after sunset and cannot be delayed, as demonstrated by Angel Jibril. Any delay beyond this short window is considered a mistake.

What is the comparison made between the timing of Maghrib and other prayers?

While prayers like Dhuhr can be performed early or late within their time window, Maghrib is fixed and cannot be delayed. Angel Jibril showed that Maghrib always begins right after sunset, and there is no alternative timing for it.

What happens if someone delays their Maghrib prayer?

If someone delays their Maghrib prayer beyond its prescribed time, they are committing a sinful act. The prayer should be performed immediately after sunset, as demonstrated by Angel Jibril, with no room for delay.
