Then should I tell lies with intention of protecting myself from mockerers in case they ask me where am I going?
if youre in high school, i suggest not going to friday prayer because it is during class. allah will excuse you. but go during the weekends. and dont listen to what they have to say. the sahaba (companions of Prophet Muhammad and his associates) and the ahl al bayt (his family) werw all mocked and treated horribly for 12 years while in Makkah for practicing Islam.
no, no, no, just dont calll it jihad, because its not polite, because people will get the wrong idea. just say youre gonna go to a mosque if pressured, and you don't really have to say it, but if you want to, say youre struggling to please your God.
Am I allowed in Islam to recover the lost prayer when I come home from school? Will God excuse me when He sees me praying each time I come from school? One problem, I have backbone surgery and now I have been disaled for whole life not to prostrate because it could bring a lot of damage and harm for my healthy. Should I pray while sitting? Or how if I can stand up, but to prostrate I disabled due tosme valid reasons? It is acceptible if I stand up, then sit down chair and then bow obly my head with intention of prostrating? Do you think in Mosque I can find an imam,or a sheikh?
yes, you are allowed to make up prayers, and pray while sitting, or even laying down and using your hands or head or eyes while facing qiblah if possible. try using seekershub.org or islamqa.org for more info
but how one would pray would depend on how severe the illness is [MENTION=42203]Nitro Zeus[/MENTION]
Well, my problem is that I'm unable to bow just a little bit, if I bow more like healthy Muslims do in Mosque, then maybe I'll do damage, and my father told me to not force myself to prostrate if I have done backbone surgery. And when I sit down on but, I hardly sit normal like others, if I sit on my but, I would definitely feel like wanting to lay down because my back does not support it.
try to do the other methods I mentioned, like lying down and using your hands or head or eyes, or sit in a chair and could you lean in a little to "symbolize" bowing?
Aa, this I can do it, it is pretty easy the method of praying on chair. One thing, where do normally find an imam? In Mosques? Because, I also want to have discussions with him about Islam and about anything.
try taking classes? join youth groups? yes the imam is in the mosque, but the mosques are gender segregated, so ask the brothers, and go to the section where the men are, and remove your shoes before entering and place them on the shoe rack. ask for the imam, and ask him about activities, or email him if he is busy, and wait. or look on their website as to when classes, etc. are. and in what place in the masjid. but remember, the masjid is a place of modesty. no chatting with the sisters (unless its a dire need or one is in charge). (at least from what i understand). ask him to help guide you.
Whats the difference between an imam and a scholar? Are they the same? I dont understand why it is haram to chat with oposite genders, I like to show that I am a friendly person with both genders. I like making friends whether they might be girls or boys, it doesnt matter to me. I wonder, in non Mulim countries, do Mosques start to call Adhan? Because, I dont feel confortable like this, because that would mean disturbence to others. Do they sound Adhan in non Muslim countries like in muslim countries? Or no?
an imam is a leader of the Islamic community, and namely one who leads prayers and makes speeches on friday congregational prayers. in the masjid you are supposed to be focused only on Allah so women, especially ones you find attractive may be distracting. as for why most scholars find it haram to chat unnecessarily in general, that's because shaytaan (satan, the devil) will always take advantage of your desire for the opposite sex and make you go further astray and go from liking the girl as a friend to liking the girl as a girlfriend to doing more and more deviant things until you committ zina (fornication). that is why it says in the quran "when a man and a woman are alone, the third person is the devil" and that men and women should not look with lust at one another "tell the believing men to lower their gaze and guard their private parts" (quran 24:30 quran.com) "
About whom you're talking?!
