625 Alhamdulillah I pray 5 times a day. I am going to tell you how I prayed today. I missed Fajr, Zohr and Asr. When I reached home I prayed Magrib. However I have not done Kaza for Fajr, Zohr or Asr. Before praying Isha I will pray the Kaza for Fajr, Zohr and Asr then pray my Isha Salat. My 2nd scenario is at times I miss the Fajr Namaz, I come home for lunch and pray Zohr but due to lack of time I can't pray the Kaza Fajr. When I get back home from work I pray Magrib Namaz and then do the Kaza Fajr and Asr. Basically as you can see my Namaz is all out of order. Can you please tell me how I should pray My Namaz? I know my question is long and confusing but I need to know if I am performing my Namaz correctly or do I need to change my praying method?

734 I was just wondering before I became practicing I spent many years not praying and when I did pray I would miss some prayers. I was wondering if I have to make up the prayers that I missed or if I could simply ask Allah (S.W.T) for forgiveness and never return to not praying again. Also I read recently that whoever enters a market and says: 'Laa ilaaha ill Allah waHdahu laa shareeka lah, lahul mulku wa lahul Hamdu yuHyi wa yumeetu wa huwa Hayyun laa yamoot, bi yadihil khayr, wahuwa `alaa kulli shay'in qadeer" Allah will write for him a million good deeds, erase a million of his bad deeds and raise him a million levels. Is this saheeh and are there any weaknesses?

1175 I have a question regarding Salah, when I do Sajda sometimes I feel I have said 'Subhana Rabi Yil Ala' instead of 'Subhana Rabi Yal Ala' . I try my best to pronounce words correctly but still feel I mispronounce especially in Sajda so if this happens and I do Sajda Sahw will the Namaz be valid and if it happens once in the Sajda and I don't do Sajda Sahw will the Salah be valid or would I have to repeat even if this isn't uttered purposefully?

1176 In my country India, most of the people do not offer daily prayers although they may have all the time, but they never miss Jumah prayer, at any cost. If you are missing your daily prayers without any reason, is it any use offering Jumah prayer? Is it anyway permissible that you may miss your daily prayer but not your Jumah prayer? Otherwise, why it is that they do not spend one hour in offering daily 5 Namaz (which can be offered anywhere), but are ready to spend 2-3 hours ,for Jumah prayer (bathing, changing clothes, closing their shops etc, and walking to the mosque)?

Also if I miss the 4 Sunnah before Zuhr/ Jummah, should I do Qaza immediately after the Fard or after the 4 Sunnah and 2 Sunnah but before the last 2 Nafil? Many thanks.

1228 On weekdays (college days) I can only perform the Fajr prayer on time. Until I get home it is time for Isha prayer. How shall I make up for the missed prayers in between? (Zuhr, Asr and Maghrib) I can't do Qasr Salah as I am not travelling and I can't do Jama' as I can't make neither the Zuhr or Asr prayer... It is problems like these that discourage me to pray. Any advice is appreciated.

1258 I have been told to sit and listen to the Khutbah attentively. I have never been told to perform the following acts: During Khutbah people sitting in the Attihiyyaat position folding their hands like in Salaat for the first Khutbah and then placing them on the thighs in the second Khutbah. I have been told off a couple of times of not following this procedure. I have been to many Masjids around the world, all Sunni school of thought and Ahle-Sunna. I have never come across this practice during Khutbah. Can you please explain, furthermore, I have been told in the Masjid (by elders) that it is a requirement to perform such an act. If this is the case, please clarify.
