_*Another authentic narration reports, the Prothet (ﷺ) used to have two pauses in every raka’a one after Al-Fatiha and the other after the Surah before bowing (Sunan Ibn Majah 845). The wisdom behind the second pause is that if someone is late for salah and missed the recitation of Al- Fatiha they can recite it before going into ruku.*

Also, the Ayah used as evidence by the Hanafi school of thought is Surah Aaraf (7:204) which was revealed in Makkah, before Salah was even prescribed. It was revealed when the Quraysh would put their fingers in the ears to avoid listening to the Qur'an. So, it may not be appropriate to use the ayah in the context of Salah, for evidence, as per some of the scholars, because Salah was not prescribed at that time.    
Moreover, the hadeeth _“The recitation of the imaam is the recitation of the one who is praying behind him” is da’eef (weak)._

And Allah knows best.

*Let's continue on these Hadiths*👇.                                                Al-Bara' (b. 'Azib), and he was no liar (but a truthful Companion of the Holy Prophet), reported:
_They used to say prayer behind the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). I never saw anyone bending his back at the time when he (the Holy Prophet) raised his head, till the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) placed his forehead on the ground. They then fell in prostration after him._

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah [ رضى الله عنه ] that: _The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "A muslim does not regularly attend the mosques to perform prayer and remember Allah, but Allah feels happy with him just as the family of one who is absent feels happy when he comes back to them."_

It was narrated from 'Amr bin Sulaim Az-Zuraqi that he heard Abu Qatadah [ رضى الله عنه] say: _"While we were sitting in the Masjid. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out to us carrying Umamah bint Abi Al-'As bin Ar-Rabi', whose mother was Zainab, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). She was a little girl and he was carrying her. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed with her on his shoulder, putting her down when he bowed and picking her up again when he stood up, until he completed his prayer."_

Commenting of the first hadeeth, Shaykh al-Albaany (رحمه الله)  said: _" The majority of those who pray do not follow what this hadeeth contains, in not leaving the standing position until the imaam puts his forhead and nose on ground, I do not exempt anyone even those who hasten to follow the sunnah. *"(People make this mistake) because of their ignorance of (this hadeeth) or because of lack of attention to it......*_. *Imam's Forehead Should Touch The Ground Before You leave The Standing Position*  are few  we are to emulate from this verse.

The second Hadith also remind us of the feelings Allah has for one that is punctual to praying in mosque. We can also remind ourselves the no wrong in praying while carrying a child. The child should be placed down during Bowng and Sujud. The Prophet used to with pray with a child on his shoulder. However it is also encouraged distancing her from ur sight during swalat. That is putting her to bed or engaging the child into something for as not to disrupt your attention during swalat.

*Let's continue on these Hadiths*👇.                                                       Narrated `Imran bin Husain [ رضى الله عنه]: (who had piles) _I asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about the praying of a man while sitting. He said, "If he prays  while standing it is better and he who prays while sitting gets half the reward of that who prays standing; and whoever prays while Lying gets half the reward of that who prays while sitting."_

                                             Narrated Jabir [ رضى الله عنه ] _Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to pray (optional, non-obligatory prayer) while riding on his mount (Rahila) wherever it turned, and whenever he wanted to pray the compulsory prayer he dismounted and prayed facing the Qibla._

Ref : Sahih al-Bukhari 400

The second Hadith talks about Qiyam (standing) and facing the Qibla is an important Rukn of Salah and is compulsory for the obligatory prayers, without which Salah is invalid. You can pray Nafl while the vehicle is moving. And for transportation that you cannot control like airplane or such, the scholars have allowed sitting and praying the obligatory prayers if you know Salah will be missed by the time you arrive, based on this ayah and Hadeeth.
فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ وَاسْمَعُوا وَأَطِيعُوا وَأَنفِقُوا خَيْرًا لِّأَنفُسِكُمْ
[al-Taghaabun 64:16] "So keep your duty to Allah and fear Him as much as you can”.

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD

 *BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD* It is best to delay this prayer to the last third portion of the night. Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger of Allah said: "Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night, inquiring: 'Who will call on Me so that I may respond to him? Who is asking something of Me so I may give it to him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him?"' This is related by the group. 'Amr ibn Abasah reports that he heard the Prophet say: "The closest that a slave comes to his Lord is during the middle of the latter portion of the night. If you can be among those who remember Allah, the Exalted One, at that time then do so." This is related by al-Hakim who grades it sahih according to Muslim's standards, and at-Tirmizhi calls it hasan sahih. AnNasa'i and Ibn Khuzaimah also recorded it. Abu Muslim asked Abu Zharr: "Which late-night prayer is the best?" He said: "I asked the Messenger of A...
