Salaam, I know certain Dua's and Surah's should be recited after Isha Prayers, however I receite sura Ya-Seen, Maryam, Ta-ha, Waqiah on a regular basis, can I recite it at any time or maybe after an obligatory prayer? W/S

Thank you Sister, However from what I have read online, he only has to say 1 line, so I did not think an Alim was necessary.

Both I guess. Thanks

Salaam, I have been playing Surah Baqarah daily on my computer (loudly) , is it equivalent as receiving to keep the shaitaan away? I have also been receiving the First 4 verses, Aytul Kursi and then the last 3 verses morning and night. Also, are there benefits of playing surah's and dua's at your house? and what about playing the entire Quran in your house? perhaps on weekly or monthly basis? Please advice. Thank you,

Salaam, I am currently following Sistani, however I am looking into other Maraji's, I live in Canada and would like somebody with more moderate views and easily accessible. Currently I am researching Sayyid Reza Hosseini Nassab. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Syeda

Salaam, I have been receiving Ziaarat Ashura for 40 days, however my prayer did not go answered. I'm okay with that, Allah has greater plans for me I'm sure. However, I am still continuing with the Ziaarat Ashura and then performing the 2 Rakat Namaz ... Below is what I have been receiting ,is it correct? I want to make sure I am doing it correctly, I do not say anything 100x (as per the advise of my mom). However I am not sure if I am supposed to do it exactly. Please advice.

Salaam, My husband and I have decided to get divorced, we have been living in the same house but separate rooms for 5 months. I know I need 2 male witnesses to get divorced, do I need get a Maulana involved as well, or does my husband just have to say "something" in front of the 2 witnesses? (also - what does he need to say?) After we separate homes, do I need to wait 3 months of Iddah before the actual divorce, or can I divorce and then the 3 month Iddah period comes after? Thank you Syeda
