Taraweeh prayer is a special prayer offered only in the month of Ramadan. It is not Fard, that you have to make it up if you miss. So,  \nyou are not supposed to pray Taraweeh in other months than Ramadan.

So you read my answer, didn't you? Thanks...\n\nWe don't celebrate it coz our Great Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) didn't celebrate it, so as his followers, we don't celebrate it too. \n\nIf we'd like to thank to God, we dont have to wait until thanksgiving or other holidays. We can do that in our Shalat, in our pray, or by sharing with the others, at anytimr

Thank you for a very interesting question. I think the gentleman who claimed to be a Muslim did not understand the question. \n\nI am an American Muslim Imam and although we have no areas above the Arctic Circle where I live I have also pondered this question and asked some knowlegeable people I know. The answer is as the first person guessed. There was a ruling in the past that Muslims who live above the Arctic Circle or below the Antarctic circle should follow the times of prayer and beginning and ending of fasting in Ramadan and at other times of the year according to the times in Mecca.\n\nPlease feel free to ask any questions you might have for me.\n\nPeace and Blessings,\n\nSalim

No i think its totally wrong,we provide churches and mosques to pray in ,and work places to work in.If he has to pray 5 times a day,then he should pray before he goes to work ,once again at the start of his lunch,once at the end of his lunch,once when he gets home ,and once before bed.\nI am sure Allah would make allowances,and his workmates would not get offended

Muslims have sabbath day, as you mentioned, on Friday. On that day all gather at mosque attend a sermon and prayers after that. Eventhough this prayer is compulsary unless there is some valid reasons, Islam do not forbid working rest of the day. These are the relevant verses from Quran\n\n "O you who believe! when the call is made for prayer on Friday, then hasten to the remembrance of Allah and leave off trading; that is better for you, if you know. " Quran  62:  9\n\n"But when the prayer is ended, then disperse abroad in the land and seek of Allah's grace, and remember Allah much, that you may be successful. " Quran 62: 10.

first of all, about death.Muslims believe that death is a departure from the life of this world, but not the end of a person's existence. Rather, eternal life is to come, and we pray for God's mercy to be with the departed, in hopes that they may find peace and happiness in the life to come.\n\nand the funerals, when a muslim person dies.A family member arranges the funeral immediatly without delay.The eyes of the deceased should be closed, and the body covered temporarily with a clean sheet. It is forbidden for those in mourning to excessively wail, scream, or thrash about. Grief is normal when one has lost a loved one, and it is natural and permitted to cry.\n\nMuslims strive to bury the deceased as soon as possible after death, avoiding the need for embalming or otherwise disturbing the body of the deceased. An autopsy may be performed, if necessary, but should be done with the utmost respect for the dead\n\nIn preparation for burial, the family or other members of the community will wash and shroud the body. (If the deceased was killed as a martyr, this step is not performed; martyrs are buried in the clothes they died in.) The deceased will be washed respectfully, with clean and scented water, in a manner similar to how Muslims make ablutions for prayer. The body will then be wrapped in sheets of clean, white cloth (called the kafan).\n\nThe deceased is then taken to the cemetery for burial (al-dafin). While all members of the community attend the funeral prayers, only the men of the community accompany the body to the gravesite\nThe deceased is laid in the grave (without a coffin if permitted by local law) on his or her right side, facing Mecca. At the gravesite, it is discouraged for people to erect tombstones, elaborate markers, or put flowers or other momentos. Rather, one should humbly remember Allah and His mercy, and pray for the deceased.\n\nLoved ones and relatives are to observe a 3-day mourning period. Mourning is observed in Islam by increased devotion, receiving visitors and condolences, and avoiding decorative clothing and jewelry. Widows observe an extended mourning period (iddah), 4 months and 10 days long, in accordance with the Qur'an 2:234. During this time, she is not to remarry, move from her home, or wear decorative clothing or jewelry.\n\ni hope this is what you were looking for.Sorry if it was too long

It depends what you mean by pray. \nThere is 'salat' which involves not only prayers or supplication in words but also some body movements of standing with your arms folded slightly below your chest, bowing and then prostrating (like kissing the ground) and repeating this cycle either twice, thrice or four times depending on which out of the 5 'salats'. At every position, muslims recite in Arabic, prayers usually involving praising God, the Beneficent, the Merciful, Mostworthy of Praises.\nCompulsory salats are done 5 times throughout the day at specified times. The optional ones, suffice to say, can be done anytime up to how many times as you please.\n\nThere is also 'do'a' - a form of prayer where you sit in contemplation and ask God anything that you wish for, world peace, happiness for yourself, for others. Anything at all. Muslims pray for their parents, their children, friends and whomoever they  wish well. This can be done anytime, anywhere, in the buses and trains. It can be said in a whisper, loudly if the occasion permits and best in tears of humility. The prophet Muhammad taught specific do'as for various occasion in the daily life; you recite something specific the moment you wake up, put on your makeup, combing your hair, putting on a dress and I am not kidding, there is a specific do'a for everything and this ain't Dionne Warwicke lyrics.\n\n'Salat' takes precedence between the two as it is compulsory and a Muslim is judged by it on Judgment Day. \n\nStatistics shows that only 20% of Muslims worldwide perform the salat regularly, let alone use the do'a as a daily habitual practice. Hope that this might answer your question.

Assalam-o-Alaikum\n\nPrayers are prescribed five times a day as a duty towards Allah. They strengthen and enliven the belief in Allah and inspire man to a higher morality. They purify the heart and control the temptation towards wrong doing and evil. It should be stressed that while Allah does not need our prayers we cannot survive without His blessings and guidance. “0 you who believe! Seek help with patient perseverance and prayer, for Allah is with those who patiently persevere.” (Holy Qur'an 2:153) \n\nIt is good that you are trying to learn Namaz, which is one of important pillars of Islam. For this I would suggest that you should contact Imam of nearest Masjid in your locality. \n\nI've found a good website on 'how to offer Namaz' in Urdu language. Visit if you understand Urdu:\nhttp://www.noor-e-hadis.com/namaz_ka_tareqa.htm\n\nGood Luck!

Yes it's practical, u wouldn't find the things u mentioned that hard if u feel and believe how many gifts you are gifted by god , and you are not thanking him at all for them , \nwe do fast from dawn to sun set , hot or cold the weather is , it doesn't matter , and u cant imagine how much i enjoy it as persons , it's a real nice spiritual process to be done , to feel that u overcomes your need " in food and sex , as Muslim is not allowed to have sex during fasting " ... \nreally you feel like you are free. \nPrayer is a short one , u pray only for 5 minutes , 5 times aday , u find it's very very very hard to pray for 25 minutes for ur god who created u in a day in the time that there's 1440 minutes in a day ?! how thankful are u !!\n\nPilgrimage was hard in the past but now it's not that hard , and many facilities are provided for the good of the muslims , and when my parents did it , and came they said that have never practiced a better thing than pilgrimage in their whole life ....

Oi! Soalan apa ni? Of course even 'india muslim' celebrate Hari Raya. All muslims do. Like Malay, like Singaporeans, like Indians, like Bangladeshis, like Europeans, like Americans... just as long as they're muslims... right after they fast for 30 days.

It really depend on the state of one's illness. If it's a simple cold - i'm sure it's possible to perform a prayer (having one now LOL).\n\nBut i assume u're talking about gravely ill people .... there are ways to perform a prayer even when ''tied to bed''\n\nRemember the Book Of Job (Eyub PBUH)? When he thought he was completely parallysed, he begged God to keep his tongue healthy so he can say La Illahe Ilallah.\n\nIn islam, good intention is sometimes more worthy than 50 deeds.

you mean salat. Well it is to concentrate on it. You know it is really hard to pray perfectly and not to think of something else then your prayer. But try these they worked for me:\n-put in your mind that you are talking to Allah when you pray. Imagine you are talking to a king or someone imporatant will you think about something else.\n-try to pray in a comfortable place that you find relief in.\n-Avoid praying in crowded places.\n-Imagine that the prayer you are going to pray will be the last one and after that prayer you will die. Then how perfect you would like that prayer to be?\nMay Allah help you with that\nand don't forget me with your prayers.

YES. Before prayer we make abulution (Wudu)- a specific ritual cleansing. After sexual relations we also do a ritual cleansing.  If we get urine or feces on our clothes (for instance if we don't wash) then we have to go perform ablution again. Invalidation of ablution includes defecation, urination, passing wind. We then become ritually impure and must make Wudu again.When we go to the bathroom (doing #1 or #2) we are also to cleanse ourselves. Wiping with tissue first and then using water to wash with. Sorry to be so graphic but you did ask.   \nBTW - we are Muslims.\n\nHope this enlightens you.
