The Sufficient Rukoo’ in Prayer
Assalamu'alaikum, I read that to bow down in prayer, one's back must be at the same level as his head. But my backbone stays a bit high. Can I fold my hands to lean down a little bit more, or my hands should stay straight, like a rod? can you tell me what to do minimum while bowing down so that my prayer remains valid? Jazakallah khairan.

The Imam Does Not Observe Tuma’neenah
Salaam alaykom, the imam that leads the prayer here in my small local town in Sweden prays too fast for me and some others to keep up with him.

The imam has completely refused to listen.. More

Salaam, one of the pillars of salah is that one has to have relaxation and tranquility. So if someone manages to attain tranquility during all actions except one (just say one sajdah for example), is his/her prayer invalid? Jazaakallaahu Khayran.

Tuma'neenah is a pillar of the prayer
Asalaamu Alaikum, How fast should one make their salat? There are brothers at the mosque who pray 4 rakat in 2-3 minutes, maximum 5 minutes, very quickly, and these are brothers who are known to be knowledgeable about matters of Islam and known to be pious. Then there are some brothers who may take 10 minutes to pray 4 rakat. These brothers always.. More

The proper way to perform prayer behind an Imaam
I was asked to resend the following (question # 2125849). So here it is again: What is the correct method of saying the Fard Salah behind Imam? For example In Fajr, Magrib & Isha after the Iqama, (1) When Imam says takbeer in audible voice, do I repeat the takbeer in inaudible voice? (2) After I recite “Subhanaka Allahumma…….. wa lailaha gayruka”,.. More
