Assalamu alaikum, i couldn't find any answer to my question about the validity of my salah. Today while praying duhr i had doubts when getting up from sujood when i said rabanna wa lakal hamd i had doubts about accidentally saying rabanna wa lakeel hamd so i said it again and after i said it i realized that i did say it correctly the first time so i dont know if my prayer is valid since i deliberately said it two times but at the same time it was a doubt so i dont know what to do.

It is considered as a famous issue that almost majority of people in my country (Iran) say that it is Wajib (compulsory) to reply the person who says Salam to you. I.e. if somebody tell you "a-Salamon-Alaikom", then it would be considered as a Wijib practice for you to tell him or her "Alaikum-aSSalam". I was wondering if it is an Islamic rule. If so, is there any related Qur'anic verse or hadith (tradition) concerning it?

Is it mandatory to get married in Islam? Actually a few years back, I fell in love with a girl. Since I belong to a religious family, I did what our religion asks us to, I told my parents and they approached her parents. As I didn't have much good looks and belong to a poor family, so she refused (the only thing I have is a strong moral character and no body cares about that, or my sound educational background as I am an engineer) after that , my parents tried many times but the outcome was the same The problem is I now don't want to marry, reasons being I don't want to be degraded again plus I still love the same girl. My parents want to but I don't. So does this make me a non-Muslim according to this Hadeeth > Nikah is from Sunna. So whosoever turns away from my Sunna, then he > is not from me. ?

I heard somewhere that witr is not Obligatory. It is a part of Qayam ul Layl. Is this true?

Is having children in islam farz/wajib if you are married to a woman? Does Quran say anything about it?

In shaafi's book, I have studied that 'Qunoot is mandatory in fajr salat', after returning from second ruku, we have to recite Qunoot at childhood. After that, I'm not having believe on shaafi, hanafi. So, I want to know that, whether reciting Qunoot is mandatory for fajr/any salat according to the Quran and Sunnah?

As far as I know, going to Haj is not mandatory for those people who cannot afford to pay the expense of this trip. But my question is that how we can recognize if it is Mandatory for us to go to Haj (or actually we are Wajib al Haj)? (Shia viewpoint) In fact, is there any specific factor(s) which show it? For instance, Will it be mandatory (Wajib) for us if we can provide its ticket expense by selling our gold or car and so on?

Is it an obligation to instruct other Muslims to pray during salah times like duhr? I'm asking if it is an obligation because honestly it is too difficult; sometimes and I'd rather just stay at home then go through something like that. If it is fard/wajib for me, then how do I advise them?

In accordance with a narration, after The Prophet (pbuh), the Ummah will be divided into 73 sects, 72 sects will go to hell, and just one of them will go to heaven. >Mu’awiyah b. Abi Sufiyan stood among us and said: Beware! The Apostle of ALLAH (SAWS) stood among us and said: Beware! The people of the Book before were split up into seventy-two sects, and this community will be split into seventy three: seventy-two of them will go to Hell and one of them will go to Paradise, and it is the majority group. Ibn Yahya and ‘Amr added in their version : “ There will appear among my community people who will be dominated by desires like rabies which penetrates its patient”, ‘Amr’s version has: “penetrates its patient. There remains no vein and no joint but it penetrates it.” - www.islamquest.net So, is it mandatory for Muslims to change their current sects and choose the right sect? (If they find a sect which has more logical reasons or authentic narrations to prove its legitimacy) As many Muslims are searching and discussing regarding different issues of Islam (even regarding various sects), accordingly many of them will encounter many authentic evidences which could indicate the legitimacy of some sects (or precisely one sect) in compare with their current sects. Hence my question is that: **Is it mandatory for Muslims to select the right sect (when they see some authentic and logical evidences which mention the legitimacy of a sect) or they solely must defend their sects?** **Or is it recommended (Mustahab) to change their sect and choose the right sect in the case above?**

I have heard many traditions concerning reciting the Noble Quran and I know it has much thawab if we recite it. For instance, there is a narration from the apostle of Allah (pbuh) that said: > Whoever recites a letter from the Holy Quran, it will be written for > him a Hassanah that 10 times has more thawab… (Majma'ul Bayan p. 36) Or in another tradition, the Prophet (peace be upon him and his household) said: > the best Ebadah of my Ummah is reciting of the Quran. (Wasaelul-Shia, > vol. 6, p. 168) But I wonder if it is mandatory (wajib) for a Muslim to recite it or it is just as a recommended practice (except reciting the Quran during the salah)

I have heard that going to Haj is not Wajib(mandatory) for those people who cannot afford to pay the expense of this trip. But my question is that how we can recognize if it is Wajib for us to go to Haj? in fact, is there any specific factor(s) which show it ? for instance, Will it be Wajib for us if we can provide its ticket expense by selling our gold or car and so on? (I am looking for the view of Sunni)

I've been wondering how one can lengthen their prayer -in order to remain more in praying condition- by using extra zikrs in ruku', sijdah, tashahhud, salaam and so on? I've heard that any prayer in praise of Allah is permissible in sijdah and ruku. I'd be glad to know if this is true, and if so, what are some more common/accepted suggestions. What about tashahhud and salaam, please?
