Daily Ramadan Digest: What Muslims Should Know About Prolonging The Last Sajdah

Muslims do say five daily prayers. The prayer itself involves standing, bowing, prostrating (Sajdah) and sitting. However, every Muslim should know the ruling on prolonging Sajdah.

QUESTION: What is the ruling on prolonging only the last Sajdah, other than the other pillars of prayer, (marking it specially) for making Du`aa and Istighfaar (seeking forgiveness). Does it affect the prayer if one prolongs the last Sajdah?

Shaikh Ibn al-`Uthaymeen: ❝It is not from the Sunnah to prolong the final Sajdah, because the Sunnah is to have all parts of the prayer to be equal in length, i.e., Rukoo`, and the standing after it, the Sujood, and the sitting between the two Sujood, as Al-Baraa’ Ibn `Aazib said:

❝I witnessed the Prophet offering the Salaah, and saw his Qiyaam (standing), his Rukoo` (bowing), and (the period of) standing after rising from Rukoo`, his Sujood (prostration), and his sitting between the two prostrations, and his sitting at the end before the departure (Tasleem), used to be equal in length.❞*

This is best (way to pray), but know that there is another place for making Du`aa other than Sujood, and that is the Tashahhud. The Prophet taught `Abdullaah Ibn Mas`ood the Tashahhud and said: ❝Then let him choose whatever Du`aa he likes.❞**

Muslims praying in the Sajdah position


He thus made the Du`aa permissible, whether short or long, after the final Tashahhud, prior to saying Tasleem.❞

The 5 Daily Compulsory Prayers are sacrosanct on all Muslims, who have reached puberty just as the Ramadan fasting is obligatory all physically okay Muslims.

#RamadanDailyDigest: Muslim Wives Are Supporters, Not Slaves

Muslims have completed fasting Day 4 today, as they look forward to Day 5 fasting out of the 29 or 30 days fasting; it is important to highlight the roles Muslim wives play in the family. Muslim wives are supporters, and not slaves, and should be treated with utmost dignity. In the religion of Islam, the roles and rights of Muslim wives are copiously written and spoken about. How husbands should relate with their wives are clearly stated. In the Glorious Qur'an, to show the love Allaah has for women, chapter 4 is also called 'Suuratu Nisaa' which translates to chapter of the women in English language. Interesting to know that there is no single chapter out of the total 114 chapters of the Glorious Qur'an named after men, further showing that Muslim wives, daughters, mothers, and all groups of females are held in high esteem by Allaah. It is a sad tale to see what happens in the present day world, whereby some women are maltreated and abused by the society and their part...
