Bismillah i Rahman i Raheem Assalaam o 'Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah i Wa Barakaatuh I was recently listening to a part of a Majlis and learned that Nafilah, or generally Mustahab prayers may be offered without standing, without facing the Ka'abah. This made me think, that if one would like to offer say, the Nafilah of Maghreb, then will he only pray the prescribed number of Rakats or will he double them if he prays sitting down? I am aware that the 1 Nafilah of Isha is to be prayed as 2 Rakats while sitting down as an obligatory precaution. What about Salat ul Layl, can one perform

Salam everyone, I know this is stupid & I know that prayer is bare minimum. But I’ve been so lazy to pray lately, I promise myself that I’m going to pray & then I just walk past the prayer mat. I think about prayer all day but never do it.. why? Please don’t judge but I just wanted to know if anyone has advice on motivating me to pray.. I’m willing to do anything. Wallah I don’t know why I am like this, I know how important it is but please any advice to keep me going & sticking to prayer will help so much

This post was made because I want people to post Hadith of the Importance of the Turbah of Karbala, I will start, • Umm Salama (عليها السلام) says: I saw Husayn (عليه السلام) sitting in the lap of his grandfather, the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), who had a red block of soil in his hand. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) was kissing the dust and weeping. I asked him what that soil was. The Prophet (عليه السلام) said: "Gabriel (عليه السلام) has informed me that my son, this Husayn, will be murdered in Iraq. He has brought this earth for me from that land. I am weeping for the suff

Assalamualaikum, i would like to ask about the marja' fatwas about applying social distancing during congregational prayer. Is it permissible? Or it is problematic?

Thanks to the resources of Al-Islam.org and the efforts of many here on SC, I pray five times a day, every day, to the best of my ability. As I was initially reading pamphlets that did not come from Shia sources, I am relearning certain parts of my prayer (qunut, the correct words for certain segments of the prayer). My first question is whether or not I can offer prayers at different times in addition to my five dailies. An example of this would be to offer four rakah between Dhur and Asr for the sake of practicing, so that my obligatory prayers would be better in pronunciation, saying the co

Bismillah Al-rahman Al-rahim. Is there any hadith from the twelve Imams (عليه السلام) or the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) that describes how to perform the Salat Al-Istighfar? I've googled but people tend to say different things like do 2 Rak'ats or 4 Rak'ats and honestly I don't know if there's any difference between Shia or Sunni opinion on how to perform this salaat. I would appreciate if someone could guide me in full detail. Wa-asalam.

Are Shia required to preform prayer in congregation like Sunnis do? -
So, for a while now I've noticed that ny skin dries up after wudhu and I don't particularly like the feeling and I feel bad for my skin; I avoid using lotion tho cause I've read on some Sunni site that it invalidates your Salah and not your wudhu either. I know it's better to use non alcoholic lotions but it's hard to find and also why shouldn't you use alcohol containing products after wudhu? Is it fine if you wait a little and let the alcohol evaporate (like perfumes for examples)?

Wasalam, Do you guys have any tips for those who struggle with praying at adhan time, and instead they keep delaying it? How is one able to rid themselves of such procrastination? Thanks! -
If you get your period while praying, should you stop the prayer or continue? Do you have to make it up later or no?

Salaamun-aleykum I have been using http://www.praytime.info/ tool to generate prayers times as I traveled. But since few months ago it’s location setting software is not working stating some issue with google maps. Does anyone know who owns this software and if the developer can fix API to google maps. I really like that tool and have been using it for many years. Thanks

Salam alaykum brothers and sister, Everyday we as Shia pray according to a general method of salat that is agreed upon by the majority of scholars. Albeit very minor differences concerning the details, the method of prayer appears to be well defined in the publications of the maraja and follows a specific fixed structure. My questions is concerning the sources used to understand the exact form of prayer. What are the ahadith of the Masomeen (pbut) that tell us which surah to recite, when to bow down, what to say in prostration etc. I have come across one famous hadith from Imam Jafar -
Salam alaikum brothers and sisters. I am a revert now for maybe 4 months and I am having some trouble understanding what is permissible or not. My wife is Sunni muslim of african decent and I am of the USA. She lives in the EU and Im in the US for now(working of immigration process). Ive been recently combining my zhuhr and asr prayer together and sometimes the maghrib and isha prayer. When i started this i actually combine the two so zhuhr and asr 8 rakat and 7 for maghrib and isha. This is not all the time but most of the time because of convenience and work. Is this acceptable? My wife say

Rumour has it that Witchcraft do prevent prayers from being answered. Living in an environment where witch craft is prevalent. How do one ultimately protect or curre self from witchcraft influence?

Salamu Alaikum In Tashahhud, there is a mustahhab part said after the salawat which is "wa taqabbal shafa'atuhu wa arfa' darajata" (وتقبل شفاعته وارفع درجته). My question is, I've seen many people and have done myself open hands as if it's a dua while saying this. Is this recommended, or even permissible?

Salaam alaikoum dear brothers and sisters, It's highly recommended to perform the night prayer. This prayer has a lot of benefits and will help you in this life and in the hereafter inshaAllah. Imam ‘Ali (a.s.) said: “Staying awake in the (last part of the) night is healthy for the body, pleasing to the Lord Almighty, a means of Divine Mercy and adherence to the akhlaq of the prophets (a.s.). (al-Khisal: 121) My question is how do you spend or how would you like to spend your night in worship? Do you read, study, pray in the night? And how much time do you use for it? What are your p

Salams, What are the proofs for the distance required to shorten the prayer or break fast? I’ve seen something that suggests 8 farsakh was a day’s journey, so why should we only shorten our prayers after a days journey by modern modes of transport, such as the car, since it’s the most common.

Salamum alaikum all, I wanted get some perspective on what the Shi'i position is on imams or prophets making minor mistakes? I have heard many prominent lecturers state Imams make NO minor mistakes and therefore do not accept hadith of the Prophet (AS) praying an incorrect number of rakaats. To me this seems a form of ghuluww (exaggeration) and this is echoed by the hadith attributed to Imam Ridha (AS) below. It also agrees with common sense if you think about it, the only one who makes no mistakes is God indeed. Of course sins are a different matter, we k

Dear All, I would love to have your thoughts on a dilemma of mine. I was born into a moderately religious family; however I have stopped praying around the age of 24. This wasn't because of disbelief or atheism, as I still and continuously thought about God and fasted in Ramadan; but because I lost my motivation in praying, which felt like a mechanical exercise to me at the time. Well, this was more ten years ago, and in the past years I tried many times to get back into the habit of prayer, rather unsuccessfully, as I always stop after a few days when I get carried away with work an

Bismillah i Rahman i Raheem Salaam un Alaikum I was recently told that the proper time to perform the Asr prayer is 2 hours after the Zuhr, according to Ayatollah Sistani. However, many Shia apps often tell me the time for Asr, about 4 hours after the Zuhr. I would like to know for sure what Ayatollah Sistani says about the timing of the Asr prayer. JazakAllah Alaikum us Salam -
Salaam I have a simple question to ask. Is it alright if one cries while performing their prayers (Salaah)? As in, does it invalidate the prayer or no? JazakAllah W. Salaam
