Gaps in the prayer rows
Salat is the only ritual left with the Muslim Ummah which they offer in a state of complete discipline. But lately I have seen a trend especially in those of the Arab origin that when they stand for Salat they keep their feet very wide apart to the extent that there is a very wide gap between those offering Salat. At the time of Sajdah they.. More

In our Town, there's a mosque being renovated which at the same time acts as the Muslim supreme council.

Can Imam offers prayers in Mihrab?
In all of the mosques in our country, the Imam spreads his prayer mat in the Mihrab keeping a little portion on the first line. The idea is that the Imam should not stay completely inside the Mihrab.

Praying in his own home rather than in the home of a single woman
The main reason I am writing to you is below:
I am a married Muslim with two daughters and an adolescent sister. I live in a fenced community where there are two other neighbors who are Muslims and one non-Muslim. The distance from our home to the mosque is 1 km. We can't go for Morning prayers because we fear for our life lest we might be hurt... More
