Asalaam Alykum,
I am lookin for some guidance, the questions may seem very simple for you. Can brothers or sisters answer these questions for me? 1.Is praying in a mosque with a bigger jamaat (more sawab) more preferable than a mosque with smaller jamat? 2. going by car to a farther mosque more sawab-full then going to a very near mosque on foot? 3. Is doing a short but active astagfaar (by thinking about your sins and feelign remorse) more better than just saying it and doing it for a longer time and amount? 4. What comes first, the sunnah prayer of the 5 prayers or making up of your farad namaz of the past? 5. I do remember reading that fasting was only prescribed on mondays and not thursdays. Is this true? |

1.Is praying in a mosque with a bigger jamaat (more sawab) more preferable than a mosque with smaller jamat? ![]() yes. jamat of more people contains more reward. 2. going by car to a farther mosque more sawab-full then going to a very near mosque on foot? 3. Is doing a short but active astagfaar (by thinking about your sins and feelign remorse) more better than just saying it and doing it for a longer time and amount? sayyidul istighfar 4. What comes first, the sunnah prayer of the 5 prayers or making up of your farad namaz of the past? 5. I do remember reading that fasting was only prescribed on mondays and not thursdays. Is this true? |

wa 'alaikum assalam -
1. bigger jamaa = more reward. However, this is different than saying you should travel to a mosque that has a bigger jamaat. My understanding is that you should pray in the closest masjid to your house, unless you have some other reason for not doing that. 2. It would seem to me that there is more difficulty in going by foot to nearer mosque than driving to further mosque since when you are driving you are just sitting and putting a foot on a pedal, so greater degree of difficulty = more reward. Most of the ahadith specify walking in terms of gaining reward, although nowadays we use car as equivalent, if you walk you will be more strictly applying the hadith meaning. Also as I said above, my undertstanding is that it is better to go to nearer mosque so you would get reqard for that too inshaAllah. 3. yes, more sincere remorse better. If you shed tears thinking about Allah there is great rewar dI think more than doing X times or X hours of istighfar, etc. 4. makeup fard comes first. 5. Not sure I understand question, but optional fasting (sunna) is Mondays AND Thursdays are good days to perform it. I apologize for any errors here, inshaAllah other brothers/sisters will add, and Allah SWT knows best. |

Asalaam Alykum, ![]() 1. Yes. 2. Going to the Masjid by foot is closer to sunnah and coming to the Masjid from far off places is also highly rewarding. See what the Fuqahaa say. 3. Abu Hurairah ![]() ![]() ![]() (Tirmidhi) Although having the tawfiq to even say the name of Allah on one's tongue is a form of barakah. 4. Qadha and Sunnah prayers 5. Fasting on Mondays and Thursdays |

I agree with you and yes brother I do not have immediate access to scholars or knowledgeable people. I put the questions here so scholars, knowledgeable brothers and sisters, who ever comes across can answer. Its easy to then compare the answers and if still in doubt I can specifically email a scholar or direct the question to his attention. Sunniforums is faster then making a long call or waiting to meet a brother to ask questions ![]() I understand what you mean, its more preferable if the answer comes from a scholar. |

Asalaam Alykum, this is a great thread. i hope u dont mind if i put some questions of my own perhaps? - if a room has pictures of people in it (frames, tattoos, posters,newspapers etc) is praying there valid? is it makrooh?and what about if we for example disfigure faces of permanent posters/tattoos or upturn the frames?is the ruling the same? - is it sinful not to say durood while hearing the Prophet (PBUH)'s name during Azaan?to the best of my knowledge only the words of the Azaan are to be repeated.but i am curious nevertheless as this might be a barelvi concept ( just a simple yes or no with a ref wd do. no bashing please ![]() - do deobandis consider all non-deobandis to be out of ahl e sunnat wal jamah in terms of their methodology/manhaj (im talking in general, not just abt barelvis, salafis etc)? (again no debates plz. just some ref if you may) - is writing fiction, for any purpose, tantamount to lying? - what is the ruling on giving yourself nicknames?esp nicknames that arent true...for example one calls himself 'silver surfer'on Internet, when he is neither silver nor surfer...so is there a prohibition or lack thereof for such nicknames? - is it required to wash every required part in wuzu the same number of times?for example can we, by mistake, wash the rest of the body twice but the feet three times? - why people call themselves abdul nasir when 'nasir' is not one of the asma ul husna? im sorry if one of the questions isnt simple at all ![]() |

Abdullah bin `Amr bin Al-`As (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying, "When you hear the Adhan, repeat what the Mu'adhdhin says. Then ask Allah to exalt my mention because everyone who does so will receive in return ten rewards from Allah. Then beseech Allah to grant me Al-Wasilah, which is a high rank in Jannah, fitting for only one of Allah's slaves; and I hope that I will be that man. If any one asks Al-Wasilah for me, it becomes incumbent upon me to intercede for him.'' [Sahih Muslim] Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "He who says upon hearing the Adhan: `Allahumma Rabba hadhihid-da`wati-ttammati, was-salatil-qa'imati, ati Muhammadanil-wasilata wal-fadhilata, wab`athu maqaman mahmuda nilladhi wa `adtahu [O Allah, Rubb of this perfect call (Da`wah) and of the established prayer (As-Salat), grant Muhammad the Wasilah and superiority, and raise him up to a praiseworthy position which You have promised him]', it becomes incumbent upon me to intercede for him on the Day of Resurrection.'' [Sahih Al-Bukhari]. The Book of Prayers (Kitab Al-Salat) Muslim :: Book 4 : Hadith 748 'Umar b. al-Khattab reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: When the Mu'adhdhin says: Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, and one of you should make this response: Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest; (and when the Mu'adhdhin) says: I testify that there is no god but Allah, one should respond: I testify that there is no god but Allah, and when he says: I testify that Muhammad ![]() ![]() and It will be Mustahabb to terminate the recital of the Quraan at the time of Adhaan. (Shaami vol.1 pg.399; HM Saeed) It is Mustahabb [commendable] in the Shari’ah to remain silent and attentive whilst the Adhaan is being called out. Similarly, to disengage oneself from all other activities whilst the Adhaan is being called out is Mustaahabb. The Fuqahaa (jurists) have stated that even if a person is engaged in reciting the Qur’aan, he should pause his recitation and listen to the Adhaan attentively and reply to the Adhaan. The same is applicable to a person engaged in Wudhu where it is Mustahabb for him to pause his Wudhu and listen attentively to the Adhaan. (Raddul Muhtaar vol.1 pg.399) - do deobandis consider all non-deobandis to be out of ahl e sunnat wal jamah in terms of their methodology/manhaj - is writing fiction, for any purpose, tantamount to lying? - what is the ruling on giving yourself nicknames?esp nicknames that arent true...for example one calls himself 'silver surfer'on Internet, when he is neither silver nor surfer...so is there a prohibition or lack thereof for such nicknames? - is it required to wash every required part in wuzu the same number of times?for example can we, by mistake, wash the rest of the body twice but the feet three times? - why people call themselves abdul nasir when 'nasir' is not one of the asma ul husna? |

and one more thing: when reading online Qur'an in arabic is it necessary to be in wudu? i'll check surah nisa. tho im pretty sure its not one of the 99 Names:s it is, check quran Surah Nisa verse 45. But Allah hath full knowledge of your enemies: Allah is enough for a protector, and Allah is enough for a Helper. |
