http://nairation.com/discussion/59/common-mistakes-during-salat-please-watch

I would recommend every conscious Muslim to watch this video. Very insightful, most of these I know but we need to remind ourselves once a while. For those that may not be opportune to watch it, here are some of the things I picked;

1.Once the Imam calls for the solat to begin, join at once (some people will prefer to join after observing nawafir which can be performed anytime)

2.Always lower your gaze (some people are fond of looking upward and sideward during solat. I also sometimes do this especially when I take a peek at what my children are up to)

3. Don't race against the Imam. This is very common among the males as they have closer view of the Imam. The second the Imam calls for Ruku and Sajdah, they also doing same alongside him. Wrong!

4. Always raise your hand to shoulder level for Takbir.

5 Don't put your hands by your side during solat, your right hand over your left hand.

6. You bend with your back straight for Ruku (I call it angle 90 ) and make sure you stand straight before going ahead to perform Sajdah.

7.Don't put your elbows on the ground when doing Sajdah. I see a lot of people do this. The seven body parts that are to touch the ground are your two palms, your nose (some people's nose don't touch the ground o), your forehead, two knees and the tip of your toes. Anything more or less is wrong.

8. Don't walk directly in front of a person that is praying. If the person did not put a sutrah (any object) directly in front of him, you can assist the person to put one there.

9. Make sure one row is filled before starting another.

10. Don't pray with distractions in the backgrounds. The Rasool (S.A.W) was particularly against pictures. Sometimes I pray with the tv on . Try to do away with all forms of distractions before praying.


11. I didn't know that you're not supposed to hastily join a congregation especially if you were dragging your feet before (I do this a lot o ).You move in the same pace as you were before you heard the adhan.

12. For the men, don't wear any cloth that exposes your shoulder to observe solat.

13. Don't fidget (moving your body or adjusting your garments) while solat is on.

14. If you meet the congregation at Sajdah, don't wait for them to rise for another Rakat before joining. Always join the congregation in the exact position you meet them in.


All these points were backed with Hadiths of the Prophet (P.B.U.H). Sadly I couldn't quote them verbatim from the video. It's important that we correct anyone not observing solat in the ways of Prophet Muhammed (S.A.W) the best way we can. May Allah increase us in knowledge.

May ALLAH accept our swalaawaat. That is the first thing to be checked on the day of reckoning. Allahu Musta'an.

Jazakallahu Khayran, Really helpful. May Almighty Allah accept it from us. Jummah Mubaraq

May God accept our prayers .. AMIN

Nice info

Actually guilty of some..

May Allah accept our act of ibadah...

True most of us have made one or two of this mistakes, may Allah SWT forgive our mistakes. JazakAllahu Khairan

Jazakum lahu khairan

@Dominique(f). Can you please provide evidence for this point " 13. Don't do Takbir when joining the congregation for Ruku, just join them in that position. " . I really find it very strange. Thanx

Alhamdulilah what a beautiful post

JazakAllahu khayran

Pls can you provide a proof thad says do not do Takbir b4 joning Rukut. Very important

Thanks for the reminder...

Am sure it's an error, Takbir is important before joining solah in any position

Noted

ALLAHU Akbar. May almighty ALLAHU accept our prayer & to 4giv us our sins.

I'm guilty of been in haste to join the congreagation whenever i hear d Iqamah

Op thnks a lot cos I am guilty on some of dis.

Alhamdullilahi, the videos is very insightful.

Ma sha Allah thanks for enlightening us.

I think the ma'mum joining a salat, at whatever phase, must make the takbiratul- Hiram before joining.
this is because takbir is obligatory and also signifies commencement of salat. Allahu A'lam.

Jazakula khairan... Jumat mubarak

Nice summary sister.

Jazakallahu Khair.

This is best video i have ever watched on this platform. For a true muslim, endeavour to oblige by the rules of Solat, it pays than ignorance and Shirk... Maa salam

Jazakallahu khair

thanks for the info, jazakhumllahu akhiran

Allah is great

Janzakumlai khairan

JazakAllah bil jannah OP.
