Pray alone and his anger will not harm you
Sometimes I pray behind my husband, whose recitation is so quick, especially in the inaudible prayers; that sometimes I am not able to recite Al-Faatihah in full, or I recite it very quickly, but in most cases I cannot complete its recitation.

Any prayer is sufficient for voluntary prayer after Wudhoo' and Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid
What is the evidence from the Quran and the Sunnah that it is legitimate to perform one voluntary prayer with several intentions? For example, is it sound to perform a two-Rak'ah (unit of prayer) prayer intending the voluntary prayer after Wudhoo' (ablution), Tahiyyat-ul-Masjid and the pre-Thuhr (noon) voluntary prayers?

Falling asleep before a prayer's time and therefore missing it
I am a young man who works as a nurse. On Thursdays my work starts at 8:00 PM and lasts until 10:00 AM. Afterwards, I go to sleep and miss the Jumu‘ah (Friday) prayer which is at 12:50 PM. Taking into consideration that all my efforts to wake up were in vain, am I excused by the Sharee'ah for not attending it?

Thinks that he is praying on time but then finds out that its due time had already passed
I sometimes wake up in the morning not knowing if the sun rose or not. I notice the break of morning, but there is still some darkness. Thus, I pray the Subh (morning) prayer on time and then pray at another time as making up for the prayer. Is this right or should I just pray it the first time?

A non-Muslim giving the Friday khutbah
I live in a non-Muslim western country and genuine non-Muslims sometimes attend the Jumu‘ah (i.e. Friday) prayer with us. Is it valid and accepted in the Sharee'ah that a non-Muslim gives the Khutbah (sermon)? If it is impermissible, how do we refute the claim of those who say otherwise? They argue that it is not conditioned for the one giving the.. More
