Bismillā hir Rahmā nir Rahīm In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
As-Salāmu `Alaykum (السلام عليكم):
Still have no idea how Muslims I pray beside perform Sunnah or Fard Salat completing the entire Salat before I complete the first rakat? I recite moderately. Not slow and definitely not speed recitation.
Even when I am reciting the Al-Fatihah and brothers begin their prayer they are in the second or third rakat within one minute. How in the world is this done? Is the recitation just a thought and not the actual recitation?
First Rakat
Niyyat (Intentions) "Takbirat Al Ihram"- "Allahu Akbar
Du'a (Supplication) Subhana kAllahumma wa bi-hamdika wa tabarakas muka wata'la jadduka wala ilaha ghayruka" "Praise and glory be to Allah. Blessed be Your Name, exalted be Your Majesty and Glory. There is no god but You."
Ta 'udhuz
"Audhu billahi min al-shayta nir-rajim "I seek protection of Allah against the accursed Satan."
Now how can that all be recited in under a minute?
Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 12, Number 711:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle used to keep silent between the Takbir and the recitation of Qur'an and that interval of silence used to be a short one. I said to the Prophet "May my parents be sacrificed for you! What do you say in the pause between Takbir and recitation?" The Prophet said, "I say, 'Allahumma, ba'id baini wa baina khatayaya kama ba'adta baina-l-mashriqi wa-l-maghrib. Allahumma, naqqim min khatayaya kama yunaqqa-ththawbu-l-abyadu mina-ddanas. Allahumma, ighsil khatayaya bil-ma'i wa-th-thalji wal-barad (O Allah! Set me apart from my sins (faults) as the East and West are set apart from each other and clean me from sins as a white garment is cleaned of dirt (after thorough washing). O Allah! Wash off my sins with water, snow and hail.)"
Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 12, Number 713:
Narrated Abu Ma'mar:
We asked Khabbab whether Allah's Apostle used to recite (the Qur'an) in the Zuhr and the 'Asr prayers. He replied in the affirmative. We said, "How did you come to know about it?" He said, "By the movement of his beard."
Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 12, Number 718:
Narrated 'Aisha:
I asked Allah's Apostle about looking hither and thither in prayer. He replied, "It is a way of stealing by which Satan takes away (a portion) from the prayer of a person."
Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 12, Number 723:
Narrated 'Ubada bin As-Samit:
Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever does not recite Al-Fatiha in his prayer, his prayer is invalid."
Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 12, Number 726:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Abi Qatada:
My father said, "The Prophet in Zuhr prayers used to recite Al-Fatiha along with two other Suras in the first two Rakat: a long one in the first Rak'a and a shorter (Sura) in the second, and at times the verses were audible. In the 'Asr prayer the Prophet used to recite Al-Fatiha and two more Suras in the first two Rakat and used to prolong the first Rak'a. And he used to prolong the first Rak'a of the Fajr prayer and shorten the second.
If you provide a comment provide the Dalil (Evidence) as you see above to maintain the intregrity of the thread. Insha Allah
This was submitted with the best intentions and the best construction should be used.

Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 12, Number 772:
Narrated Abu Wail:
Hudhaifa said, "I saw a person not performing his bowing and prostrations perfectly. When he completed the prayer, I told him that he had not prayed." I think that Hudhaifa added (i.e. said to the man), "Had you died, you would have died on a tradition other than that of the Prophet Muhammad."

Because Bro they are not praying one must take their time and fully commit their attention and themselves to praying to Allah
a person who is reciting in under a minute is only thinking to get the prayer over with like it is a.....burden.
It makes no sense to finish in under a minute when it only takes at least a good 5 minutes to complete each prayer that is only 25 minutes a day (and additional minutes for optional prayers)
That is sad that they can only find 5 minutes in 24 hours (if they pray in 1 min) for their Creator.....just sad

Ukhi Mila:
we are in agreement with your response that is why we have created this thread. Just frustrating to see this daily with Muslims born and raised in the Hejaz or Arabic as a first language and expected much more as an example. (This is definitely not an attack on Muslims who first tongue is Arabic but my personal observation of many attendees at the Masjid I normally attend or visited)
It just shows that it doesn't matter the original location but the destination.

Its mainly because people are also getting caught up in life and not thinking about the hereafter,i even know a few muslims (born and raised in Islam) who do not even pray I feel so bad for them......
At least the ones who are praying in a minute are trying or making some effort.....but we are only human and make mistakes only Allah (swt) is perfect
