Confused about women leading the prayer
My wife is a new convert to Islam, she is a English woman and I'm doing my best to help her understand Islam with the little knowledge that I know hoping that God accepts from me.

Another man Ali entered the mosque and finds that 'Umar was praying alone. Can he join 'Umar in the Salat and take 'Umar as an Imaam knowing that 'Umar was just continuing his Salat from another..

Proper way of offering the prayers
For some days I'm offering Salat at home because the Imaam is a blind follower of a particular Madhab. He renounced those who say Aameen loud at the end of Surah Faatihah, and raise hands before Ruku' and Sujood. Ironically enough he claimed these Sunnah acts as innovation while redeemed himself standing on the right path of Sunnah, though he.. More

Confused about innovations in a Bralwiya mosque
I have two questions:
1) The mosque I go to, to read Qur'aan I think is a Bralwiya mosque. There is a man there they call Peer Saab, and they say he controls the jinn, and knows when one is lying and telling the truth, just by placing his hand over their forehead. And also they celebrate something they call Meelaad an-Nabi, where.. More

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. As per fatwa written by a very prominent Muslim scholar Ashtray Ali Thanvi in his book "Beheshti Jeor" staying of imam inside the Mihrab completely.. More

Duties of the Imam
Here in Mauritius we have a lot of social problems in our Islamic community, and I believe the cure to these problems is to have people with good Islamic knowledge and social power, e.g. the Mutawalli of a mosque. Here in Mauritius, unfortunately being a Mutawalli is just a title; besides looking into the daily running of the Masjid, he is not even.. More
