Going early to Friday prayer is more rewardable
The Friday sermon in our mosque starts at 1.15 PM. I usually go to the mosque just when the Arabic sermon starts, but my mom insists that I go there at 12.30 PM to listen to the Bengali sermon as well. If I go to the mosque earlier than usual in this case, just to please my mom and stop being rebuked by her, is that considered ostentation?

What is the ruling on praying in the second congregational prayer in the mosque if one fears that the imam of the second congregation makes mistakes in ablution or pronunciation in the Faatihah, has very thin or transparent clothes, or makes other common mistakes that render the prayer invalid?

Praying behind latecomer after imaam makes tasleem
Assalaamu alaykom. When we arrived at the mosque to pray the congregational prayer, the imam had already made the final salutation, but we saw some latecomers who caught some units of the prayer, my question is: What is better: form a second congregational prayer, or take one of the latecomers as our imam.

Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh. Is it true that one cannot pray in the dark, like with the lights off or in a dark place? And what about praying on a slope? May Allaah reward you.

Praying on muddy ground in workplace
Assalaamu alaykum, Shaykh. I work as a security guard in America in a construction area. The problem is that when the time for prayer comes, I do not find any place to prostrate as it is all filled with rocks and gravel and mudd. So is this a good reason to pray on a chair while still performing the other pillars of the prayer that I am able to do,.. More

Mistake in saying 'Rabbana wa laka Al-Hamd' in prayer
Assalaamu alaykum. I have noticed during prayer that my instinctive response when the imam says 'Sami Allaahu liman Hamidah' when rising from the bowing position is to say 'Rabbana wa lana Al-Hamd' instead of 'Rabbana wa laka Al-Hamd'. I am trying to make it my instinct to say the proper reply, but sometimes do not paying attention and then when I go.. More

Assalaamu alaykum. I know when the prostration of forgetfulness is due in prayer, but please teach me what to read and how according to Imam Ahmad Bin Hanbal's School of Thought.
