Ouch!

Okay, If you can't stand, sit, if you can't sit, then lay on a bed.

If sitting, go forward as much as you possibly can.....

Allah says:

"Allah does not burden anyone, except with something within its capacity; ."

Final ayah, Surah Baqarah...

If u need any help on praying whilst sitting...ask

It doesn't hurt that much, but it is still quite painful. I can do all the other movements in the prayer, but the prostation hurts sightly.

I don't know any of these surahs you are asking me to recite, I have not even fully learnt the prayer yet.

P.S: 'Glaven' is something that professor Frink on the Simpsons says. Not that I watch it anymore.

Praise be to Allaah.

Standing is an essential part of the prayer, and if a person does not stand during the prayer, from the initial takbeer to the final salaam, and has no valid excuse for that, his prayer is invalid. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And stand before Allaah with obedience” [al-Baqarah 2:238].

The rule that standing is an essential part of the prayer applies especially to the fard (obligatory) prayers; it is not obligatory to stand in the naafil prayers, in which sitting is permitted, but the one who sits will have half of the reward of one who stands.

The evidence that this rule applies only to the fard prayers is the hadeeth in which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Pray standing.” (al-Bukhaari, 1066).

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to pray naafil prayers (sitting) on a saddle, but when he wanted to pray a fard prayer, he would get down off his saddle (al-Bukhaari, 955; Muslim, 700), so that he could fulfil the essential conditions of the prayer, i.e., standing and facing the qiblah.

If a person prays a naafil prayer sitting, when he is able to stand, he will have half of the reward of one who stands. ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar narrated that he said to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), “I was told, O Messenger of Allaah, that you said that the prayer of one who prays sitting down is equal to half of the prayer of one who prays standing, but you pray sitting down.” He said, “That is right, but I am not like one of you.” (From the hadeeth narrated by Muslim, 735).

Al-Nawawi said, commenting on this hadeeth: this hadeeth is to be understood as meaning that a naafil prayer done sitting down when one is able to stand will bring half of the reward of one who prays standing. But if a person prays a naafil prayer sitting down because he is unable to stand, his reward will not be reduced, and he will have the same reward as one who prays standing. With regard to Fard prayers, if a person prays sitting down when he is able to stand, his prayer will not be valid and he will not get any reward for it, in fact this is counted as a sin. (Sharh Muslim. 6/258)

So we say to those who sit on the chairs and do not stand during the fard prayers: it is not permissible for you to sit on your chairs when you are able to stand, unless it would be so difficult for you as to cause harm, but a slight difficulty is no excuse.

Also, check that you are performing the actions properly, for example - make sure that when you go into rukoo' or sujood, your back is straight, as a poor posture is a likely cause of back pain.

Straightening my back in sujood was what caused the pain. I think I bent it too far in the wrong direction.

Alhamdulilah the pain is gone now. It was worst on the evening that it started, and then got much better.

You need to strengthen your back muscles. Do some exercises (like back extensions). Start doing them now and you won't have problems in the future inshallah.
