Question

I pray in the mosque. I have two questions, namely- 1- Imam Sahib is silent in the first two rak'ahs of Zuhr and Asr prayers, then should we recite another Surah along with Surah Fatiha in our mind? Or keep quiet? 2. When Imam Sahib is silent in the third and fourth rak'ahs of 3 rak'at or 4 rak'at obligatory prayers, should we also remain silent or recite Surah Fatiha in our mind? Please answer, I will be happy and I will be able to pray properly. 3238579336


Answer

The main reason that two questions arise in your mind is that in your opinion, Imam Sahib is silent in the 3rd and 4th rak'ahs of the four rak'at wali or three rak'at wali prayers, he does not read anything. You are thinking that Imam Sahib does not read anything in Zuhr and Asr prayers, he is silent, so if Imam is silent then you will also be silent or not? Or read something? This question has been awakened in your mind. If you knew that Imam Sahib does not keep silent in Zuhr and Asr prayers, but slowly recites Surah Fatihah in the first two rak'ahs. And in the last two rak'ahs only Surah Fatiha is recited. Just don't keep quiet. Silence tells him that nothing is read, but he who reads slowly does not say to be silent. Exactly the same situation of the last two rak'ahs of the night. Such as the third rak'ah of Maghrib and the last two rak'ahs of Isha Farz. Imam Sahib not only keeps silent in these rak'ahs, but he also recites Surah Fatiha. And since in the Holy Qur'an Imam Sahib has commanded the worshiper to listen to the recitation when it is recited aloud, and Imam Sahib has instructed the worshiper to remain silent when the recitation is done softly. Therefore, it is not permissible for the worshiper to recite Surah Fatiha or any other Surah behind the Imam under any circumstances. The Qur'an says: Taala.

  1. to hear.
  2. Be silent. It is a well-known fact that one has to be silent to hear a subject. No one can be heard talking. So to pay attention to something means that he has to be silent, then why did Allah say to be silent for the second time? It is necessary to remain silent for the sake of hearing. The answer to this is that listening has to do with the recitations that Imam Sahib recites aloud. That is, listen to the kirat that can be heard. And if the recitation is not heard, the Imam is lying down slowly, then the worshiper will remain silent. Then both listening to the verses and remaining silent are justified. None were brought in excessively or unnecessarily. There is no prayer without Surah Fatiha. Just as there is no Jumu'ah without khutbah, there is no Jumu'ah without khutbah, so there is no prayer without Surah Fatiha. But as soon as the sermon is recited by the Imam, it becomes on behalf of everyone, there is no need for everyone to recite the sermon. Similarly, prayers are not performed without Surah Fatiha, but as soon as the Imam recites Surah Fatiha, the muqtadis recite Surah Fatiha, he does not need to recite Surah Fatiha separately. It is not necessary to recite the separate kirat of the muqtadis. The kirat of the imam means the kirat of the muqtadis. For example, to purify the prayers of the Imam means to purify the prayers of the Muqtadis. The impurity of the prayer of the Imam means the impurity of the prayer of the muqtadis. For example, reading the khutbah of the Imam means reading the khutbah of the worshipers. Not everyone needs to read the sermon separately. Just as the call to prayer is given to all the worshipers by giving one call to prayer, the call to prayer does not have to be given to everyone separately. Just as the iqamah of the worshipers becomes the ikamat of all by giving one ikamat, there is no need to give the ikamat of all separately. Similarly, by reciting Surah Fatiha and Kirat by the Imam, Surah Fatiha and Kirat can be recited by the worshipers, so there is no need for the muqtadis to recite Surah Fatiha or Kirat separately. On the authority of Abi Hurayrah, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Whoever has an Imam, the Kirat of his Imam means his Kirat.
