Assalmu Alaikum (I am used to of saying that. Is it wrong to say this particular salam ?)
I would like to tell you about myself ... [Personal information removed to protect identity]
I came through your website and AlhamduLillah, last 12 days I have been going through your all of articles, and amazed (I can not find any word to explain) in a positive manner!
I have so many questions to ask, can not find right answers from anyone. But I have asking Allah to guide me all along. Never give up for the truth !. If it is does not bother you , would like to ask few questions bellow, Please answer me, If you Will ? Insha Allah.
The Prayer has been mentioned in the Quran in details, and also I know I can pray any way I like. The traditional way I was praying 5 times a day with the imam in the mosque, now it seems different from quranic perspective . If I still continue doing what I was been doing all my life with the intention of doing a dhikr infront of Allah alone will it be wrong ? If so, the way or form of it ? I know it mentioned in the quran that it is very important to pray in the mosque with Jama’a, fo fulfill that I can not picture how would 40 people pray with 1 imam doing samething at a time ( Ruku, Shujood, Sitting, units etc. ) ?
Since I know it is very important to pray 5 times daily, I have gave up the traditional way, now I only pray at home alone, not knowing how, only pray 1 unit reciting Fathiha and other Dua’s , doing Ruku, Sujood & sit for a couple of second and say salam to both sides. Is it the right way ? if not , How?
Some Sunnahs are been practiced for Ibadah which does not mentioned in the Quran , but If some one use it to get closer to Allah with the right intention, will it be wrong ?
Jumma prayer mentioned in Quran. Should I pray both the Jumma and Dhuhr ? Can I pray Jumma alone ?
Shortening the prayer, does that means two units or how short ? if I am traveling with a plane or on journey if I stop by a McDonald how and where would you pray ?
I am very sorry if I have caused you any waste of your important time.
I have yet, many more questions to ask , if you allow me ?
Five times prayer is very important for a muslim and it concerns me and I want to do it right.
Jazak Allah Khairan (can I say that)
May Allah grant you (in return) a good reward
You have opened my heart, may Allah give you plentiful (in this world and in the Askhirat)
