***** If the imam stands up for a fifth rak’ah in the prayer by mistake

If the imam stands up for a fifth rak’ah by mistake, the people praying behind him should alert him so that he can sit back down. If he does not sit back down because he thinks that he is right, it is not permissible for the one behind him who knows that it is a fifth rak’ah to follow the imam and stand up with him, because by doing that he will have added a rak’ah to his prayer, knowingly and deliberately, which invalidates the prayer.

Rather the one who is praying behind him should sit and recite the tashahhud then say the salaam, or wait for the imam and say the salaam with him.

s for the one who is praying behind an imam and is certain that the imam is doing an extra rak’ah – for example – it is not permissible for him to follow him in that; if he follows him knowing that it is extra and knowing that it is not permissible to follow him, then his prayer is invalidated.

But if he does not realize that it is extra, then he may follow him, and this also applies if he does not know of the ruling.

If a person in the congregation knows that his imam has stood up to offer an extra rak’ah such as a fifth rak’ah in a four-rak’ah prayer, he should say tasbeeh. If the imam sits back down, all well and good, otherwise he should sit and wait for the imam, and say the salaam with him.

[Ref. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah: Majmoo’ al-Fataawa (23/53)., Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah li’l-Ifta’ (7/128), ((1/132)).]

***** The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) Foretold Us That People Will Sit In Circles In The Mosques And They Will Have No Concern Except This World -- This Blameworthy Deed Is Disliked ***** Allaah Has No Need Of Them So Do Not Sit With Them ***** Because The Mosques Are Not Built For Such A Purpose Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يَتَحَلَّقُونَ فِي مَسَاجِدِهِمْ ، وَلَيْسَ هِمَّتُهُمْ إِلاَّ الدُّنْيَا ، لَيْسَ لِلَّهِ فِيهِمْ حَاجَةٌ ، فَلا تُجَالِسُوهُمْ ‘There will come a time when people will sit in circles in the mosques and they will have no concern except this world.

Be Careful What Contradicts To The Divine Faith

*****Be Careful What Contradicts To The Divine Faith: n The form of feelings in the heart n The form of actions of the heart, n Spoken words on the tongue n And outward physical actions The form of feelings in the heart, such as hating Allaah or His signs, or His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him); this contradicts love and faith which support the actions of the heart. The form of spoken words, such as insulting Allaah, or it may be an outward action, such as prostrating to idols, or offering sacrifices to someone other than Allaah. Just as faith takes the form of actions of the heart, words on the tongue and outward physical actions, so too kufr may take the form of actions of the heart, words on the tongue and outward physical actions. [Ref. A’laam al-Sunnah al-Manshoorah, 177; Nawaaqid al-Eemaan al-Qawliyyah wa’l-‘Amaliyyah by Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez Aal ‘Abd al-Lateef, 36-46; Dawaabit al-Takfeer by Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah al-Qarani, 183, 196].

NO GOSSIP MONGER WILL ENTER PARADISE

***** NO GOSSIP MONGER WILL ENTER PARADISE The motive in spreading gossip is either ill will towards the person of whom one speaks or to show love to the person to whom one speaks, or to indulge in unnecessary talk and falsehood. All of that is haraam. There is a great deal of evidence in the Quran and Sunnah (prophetic traditions) to show that gossip is haraam (impermissible), such as the verses in which Allah says: وَلَا تُطِعْ كُلَّ حَلَّافٍ مَّهِينٍ هَمَّازٍ مَّشَّاءٍ بِنَمِيمٍ “And do not obey every worthless habitual swearer. [And] scorner, going about with malicious gossip -” [Al-Qalam 68:10,11] وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ “Woe to every scorner and mocker” [Al-Humazah 104:1] It was narrated that Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: لا يدخل الجنة نمَّام “No gossipmonger will enter Paradise” [Agreed upon Hadith by Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. And it was narrated from Ibn M...
