*Let's continue on these Hadiths*👇.                                Narrated Aiyub: Abu Qilaba said, _"Malik bin Huwairith came to us and led us in the prayer in this mosque of ours and said, 'I lead you in prayer but I do not want to offer the prayer but just to show you how Allah's Apostle performed his prayers." I asked Abu Qilaba, "How was the prayer of Malik bin Huwairith?" He replied, "Like the prayer of this Sheikh of ours-- i.e. `Amr bin Salima." That Sheikh used to pronounce the Takbir perfectly and when he raised his head from the second prostration he would sit for a while and then support himself on the ground and get up._

Abu Hurairah [ رضى الله عنه ] reported the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: _when one of you prostrates himself he must not kneel in the manner of camel, but should put down his hands before his knees._

From the last Hadith, we can conclude it is not encouraged to pray  wearing clothes/ trousers which which hang below the ankle. We can also remind ourselves from the second hadith that it is preferable to one knelling down to do that like a camel. That's puting one's hand before the knees. Though some School of thought claim there's no wrong in putting the knees down first before the hands, but acting on this Hadith is better.

On getting up for standing in prayers, palms are preferable rather than the fist, from the above explanation and is closest to the Sunnah. Not using anything at all to get up is not the Sunnah. The differences of opinion among the Scholars is between the fist and the palms. When the Prophet (ﷺ) would stand up in salah he would place his hands upon the ground just as an Aajin does.'  This is sahih by sheik Albani  (رحمه الله). Aajin means an old man.

*Let's continue on these Hadiths* 👇.                    
It was narrated that Abu Mas'ud [ رضى الله عنه ] said: _"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'The prayer is not valid if a man does not bring his backbone to rest while bowing and prostrating.'"_

Grade: Sahih, Sunan an-Nasa'i 1027

It is narrated by Abu Qatadah [ رضى الله عنه ]  that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, _“The worst kind of thief is one who steals from his prayer.” The companions said, “O Prophet of Allah how can someone steal from their prayers?” He (ﷺ) said, “He does not fulfill the ruku of the prayer nor its sujood.”_

Ammar b. Yasir [ رضى الله عنه] said: _I heard the apostle of Allah (ﷺ) say: A man returns after saying his prayer while a tenth part of his prayer, or a ninth part, or an eight part, or a seventh part, or a sixth part, or a fifth part, or a third part, or half of it, is recorded for him.‏"‏ ‏.‏_

The reasons here is for the one who makes two *Sujoods* in quick succession without making the backbone straight,  then the two Sujoods will count as ONE and Salah will be INVALID. With this, we are talking from the first Hadith. We are however encourage to bow and prostrate well in sujjud. Quality of swalat can be achieved by lengthening the postures of salah. Since law is even enforced in the jungle, we shall endeavor to adhere to swalat ethics to gain the full reward. As I did said, we shouldn't be in a hurry to pray. The prostrations and the bowings should be perfect in our swalawat.

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...
