Ask Qul - Islamic QA

Pearl of Wisdom

'The Prophet (SAWA) dispatched an army, over whom he appointed a commander and ordered them to listen to him and to obey him. He [the commander] set ablaze a fire and ordered them to jump in it. Some people refused to enter it, saying, 'Verily we flee from the fire', whilst others intended to enter it. The Prophet (SAWA) was informed of this, about which he (SAWA) said, 'Had they entered it, they would have remained therein forever [i.e. the Hellfire].' And he said, 'There is no obedience due to [one who calls to] Allah's disobedience. Rather obedience is due [when calling] for the good.'

Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as]

884	jumuah prayer	Salam. i am a new convert to Shia islam at aged 33 from Sunni madhab. My question is when praying jumah behind the ahlul sunnah imam. i pronounce surah hamd in a low voice that i cannot hear but when the imam reads the next surah after surah hamd it is difficult for me to copy him, should i ignore listening to that and recite a surah of my own for example surah ikhlas or something similar. and after my prayer has finished do i do the takbirs (3) in my heart and mind (actions). before the imam has finished his salat. Jazakallah khair.	Pending
