Thank you for your question all the way from Brunei, Unfortunately we are not in a position to advise you of where in Edinburgh you can get married as Maidenhead is around 400 miles distance from Edinburgh and we havee no links with any institutions based there.

Do you have to have a muslim name as a muslim A question a recently reverted friend has asked me.

| Answer: |
Asalam Alaikum,
It is not a requirement to change your name once you become a Muslim unless your name has a meaning which is against Islam, in this case It would be necessary to change your name. Although it is not a requirement, changing your name once you enter Islam is encouraged as your name is something that immediately distinguishes you from being non-Muslim. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) often changed the names of people when they entered Islam.

There is no requirement for a certificate to prove your accepting Islam. Allah (swt) knows what is in your heart and He has no need for a paper document.

Salah is obligatory for a Muslim once he/she attains the age of puberty. It is incumbent on a mature Muslim to calculate the number of prayers they have missed since they attained puberty and to make up for these.

It is not a legal requirement to be in a state of ritual purity when engaging in the remembrance of Allah or other spiritual works (such as reading Islamic literature or singing devotional poetry). However, it is praiseworthy to do so. Allah(swt) knows best.

Unfortunately we do not have a charity collection box for clothing at moment. It is Inshallah something the trust is looking to provide in the future. We regularly collect clothes at the mosque and an announcement is made during Jumma prayers when this is the case and sacks are distributed for this purpose.

| Question: |
Assalamualaikum. How does one perform the kazaa namaz And when should one perform this Jazakullah Khair
10/01/2010
Shazad
|
| Answer: |
Walaikumassalam wa rahmatullah,
Firstly calculate the number of missed prayers you have, say for example you have missed 3 years of prayers, we agree there are 365 days in a year multiply this by 3 and you get 1095 days of missed prayers in total, with 5 daily prayers over 1095 days it comes up to a total of 5475 missed prayers, if you pray an extra 5 prayers a day, you can make this up in under 3 years inshallah.
So when you pray your fajar prayer, for example, make an extra fajar prayer. When you pray dhuhr, make an extra dhuhr prayer as a makeup. Each extra prayer can be read immediately before or after the normal prayer, for the missed prayer you only read the fardh and the wittur, you do not read the sunnah or nufful prayers.
Alhamdulillah, it is commendable that you want to make up these prayers. I pray that Allah (swt) increases your himma (spiritual resolve) to fulfil this fundamental obligation. It is obligatory on every muslim to pray their salah, so please be in the position so that on the day of judgement when you face your creator you can account for each and every prayer within your lifetime.
"The first matter that the slave will be brought to account for on the Day of Judgment is the prayer. If it is sound, then the rest of his deeds will be sound. And if it is bad, then the rest of his deeds will be bad." (sahih)

| Question: |
salaam I have read ur previous comments regarding eid namaz and whether it is compulsory . my question is if ur not in area were there are few or no muslims at all to pray in congregation and noone can offer the speech then what will be done then. if it is fard then sure we should be able to pray on our own like the 5 daily prayers are fard and therefre you can read them seperatly. As you can see it is quite a confusing matter but i have also read in many hadiths that it is not a compulsory prayer and that it is a sunnat. also if u don''t pray ur 5 time a day salat y do u make an intent to read an optional namaz and not an intent to read fard namaz.

PBUH

| Answer: |
Walaikumassalam wa rahmatullah,
As I said in my previous answer according to the Hanafi Mahdab Eid Namaz is Wajib and therefore compulsory. It must me offered in congregation with Khutbah. If you are the only muslim in the area and there is no muslim population nearby then obviously one cannot offer Eid Namaz. If there are number of muslims in the area then one person amongst them must be selected to lead the prayer. He can make an effort to learn the Khutbah by heart, if he is unable to do this then there is no harm in reading it aloud from a book. There are many books available which contain Khutbahs, If you are unable to find some please contact me and I will be able to provide you with Khutbahs which you will be able to read amongst your congregation.
