Salam,
After urinating some few drops of urine come out of my body after i leave the bathroom, i'm not being delusional (it's not waswas), i can see drops on myself sometimes when i check. However there are two points that make me think that i don't have urinary incontinence , and that hence i cannot react the way i read on many forums before: 1. i am certain that it's not urinary incontinence because it only happens time to time 2. it happens only a few minutes after urinating and it's in very small amounts To face the problem i know i must be certain that all the urine has left my urethra(istibra') and for that i tried to : 1. place a tissue in my underwear, however it moves out of place basically all the time which makes it useless (unless i fix it with a paperclip, which doesn't sounds to be a good solution). By the way, can't i just ignore if urine has dried on my underwear in such a way that i cannot find where the drop happened to fall? 2. standing up, walking around with me holding a tissue to collect the eventual drops 3. squeezing my penis which actually gives me an erection and hence make it even more difficult to empty the urethra. None of these solutions seems to be the correct one : they're time consuming and not very efficient.
The bad thing is that if i want to relieve myself but the prayer time is close, i hold myself back if it's not too hard because otherwise the last drops will make me waste time and be late for the prayer

I said earlier that what i did didn't sound like a good solution, i said that because i feel like i'm doing too much (like when i was obsessed with purity until i learned to ignore uncertainty), also i learned that Allah doesn't not intend to make religion hard for us and this is why i think that i'm doing things wrong

**To summarize: i need an answer for how to purify myself properly after urinating without getting inconvenient.** If you answer this please be as accurate as possible and give proofs and sources for each argument. Barakallahufikum

Who added the phrase "Salah is better than sleep" to the Fajar azan?
I am a bit confused. 1) someone mentioned that these phrases *salah is better then sleep* were added by umar ibn khattab after Prophet PBUH time and somewhere else it is mentioned with references that hazrat Bilal R.A was adviced by Prophet PBUH to add these phrases only in fajar azaan and not in al...
I am a bit confused. 1) someone mentioned that these phrases *salah is better then sleep* were added by umar ibn khattab after Prophet PBUH time and somewhere else it is mentioned with references that hazrat Bilal R.A was adviced by Prophet PBUH to add these phrases only in fajar azaan and not in all the azans like he used too. So I want to know 1) if Prophet PBUH was alive and well when these phrases were added in Azan 2) and that were these phrases added by Prophet SAW himself due to Hazrat Umar bin Khattab incident.?? >> (referening to the incident I read where someone said these phrases were added by Umar bin Khattab after Prophet PBUH time when: once when he R.A himself slept through fajar azan and azan reciter came to wake him up and said these phrases and was then asked to add these in every fajar azan for the muslims.) 3) or were these phrases asked to be added by Umar Bin Khattab (in relation to above mentioned incident) after Prophet SAW's time.??

Under what conditions does Allah accept a jama'at prayer?
It is said that if you pray in Jama'at, Allah will accept your prayer so long as one person in the jama'at prayed a valid prayer. But if nobody among the jama'at prayed a valid prayer, does Allah still accept it?

Praying but need seated support for specific parts
Al Salamu Alaykum, So in my case I have an ingrown toenail and I can do all parts of prayer except that when I go down for sujood and get up from sujoof back to standing I have to alter the way I get up to avoid aching the toe and this is a bit uncomfortable.

Al Salamu Alaykum, So in my case I have an ingrown toenail and I can do all parts of prayer except that when I go down for sujood and get up from sujoof back to standing I have to alter the way I get up to avoid aching the toe and this is a bit uncomfortable. And in addition when sitting in between the two prostrations I experience pain on the toe. However for the actual sujood itself I can do it normally. Im not sure if i should pray standing and then use a chair to sit on when it’s time to go down to sujood until we get up from sujood to the other rakah, or should I pray standing and then only use a chair for the sitting between the two prostrations, therefore meaning that I would get dow to sujood and do sujood and get up from sujood back to standing as I normally would.

During salat I was rising from prostration, I said Allah hu akbar but while saying bar my lips didn't touch each other but it almost sounded like bar
During salat I was rising from prostration, I said Allah hu akbar but while saying bar my lips didn't touch each other but it almost sounded like bar. So do I need to repeat my prayer and it occurs to me frequently

A quote attributed to Kitab al-Wagiz fi fiqh madhab al-imam al-Safi'i states that during Jihad: > One must destroy their useless books. However, when I searched online, most results were from anti-Islamic blogs and forums that merely repeat the quote without offering any context. I would like to read the original quote in its full context. Additionally, I want to understand its proper meaning as understood by devout Muslims. Does it mean that all books are to be destroyed, or is there a specific criterion that makes a book "useless"?

Assalamu Alaikum. Since my childhood I have seen that after completion of prayer, people touch the prayer mat and then kiss the fingers they touch the mat with. Is this actually recommended?

I was brought up a Muslim and taught that recitation of the Quran in Arabic (although I didn't understand Arabic and still don't) bears great "sawab". I haven't been able to find anything regarding this anywhere in Ahadith or the Quran. What does Islam really say about this? Is it true or it is just a bidd'a (or biddat)? Technically, it's a waste of time to read the Arabic without understanding a thing of it, isn't it? So what's the logical thing to do in this case according to Islamic teachings?

1. I was doing wudu when suddenly my mom called so I needed to give a pause for a few seconds and when I came back I did my wudu from where I had paused. Is that okay or should I had done wudu from the beginning? 2. When doing wudu, lets say when I was cleaning my ears I felt like I should had cleaned my hands better so I quickly cleaned my hands again and then again continued my wudu from cleaning my ears. Is that okay? Hopefully they were okay as I believe Islam is a simple religion and my wudu wouldn’t be invalid for such minimal reasons.

is it permissible to do wudhu based on Quran alone?
The way i was taught to do wudhu at my mosque was an extremely tedious procedure of wiping each face, hands forearms etc three times.

The way i was taught to do wudhu at my mosque was an extremely tedious procedure of wiping each face, hands forearms etc three times. And then doing something called **khilaal**, (cleaning the gaps between phalanges with your fingers) right after doing **istinjaah**(throwing water on private parts). Another step to the wudhu i was taught was to throw water into your nostrils three times and blow the water out. I found it was completely impractical as the amount of water it uses is stupendous and it takes an irrational amount of time to simply prepare for salah, and aside from that, it makes a mess of the bathroom floor. Visit any mosque and you will see the wudhu area is an atrocious mess full of snot and other bodily fluids everywhere Thus I wanted to ask if it is permissible to substitute this formula with a straightforward wash of the face, forearms, feet and head (just once) as Wudhu is described in the Quran in surah 5: > O you who have believed, when you rise to [perform] prayer, wash your faces and your forearms to the elbows and wipe over your heads and wash your feet to the ankles. And if you are in a state of janabah, then purify yourselves. But if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women and do not find water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and hands with it. Allah does not intend to make difficulty for you, but He intends to purify you and complete His favour upon you that you may be grateful > > — [Quran 5:6](http://quran.com/5/6)

Is it obligatory to have Ghusl for the Friday Congregational Prayer?

When any of you arrives to the Jumu’ah, perform Ghusl
**[ [Sunnah.com Reference: Muwatta Maalik 5/5](https://sunnah.com/urn/502300)] ]** This Hadith is also transmitted in Bukhari and Muslim, sunan al nasa’i and the musnad of Ahmad but I lost their references My question is: Given this Hadith is clearly a command to perform ghusl for the Jumu’ah prayer, why do most scholars think its not obligatory to have ghusl for the Jumu’ah prayer??

I have often wondered why Allah did not instruct the Prophet Isa (Jesus) to establish the religion of Islam while He was living on the Earth, which took place during the years 0 A.D - 33 A.D.. The Qur'an states that Allah performed many miracles through the Prophet Isa, so I find it a bit strange that Allah did not also instruct the Prophet Isa to start writing down divine messages, revelations, and moral laws which Allah could have dictated to him, and then Allah could have instructed the Prophet Isa to create a book from this collection of holy writings which would have become the world's first Qur'an and thus the beginning of the religion of Islam. Why didn't Allah have the Prophet Isa establish the religion of Islam while He was living on the Earth?
