November 01, 2023, 03:44:32 pm Zainab_M: Allahhuma ameen .. ameen.
November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

Why are the 2 sunnahs for fajr salat come before the fard?   Because sometimes when I have little time left after waking up for fajr, and then offer 2 sunnahs first, the time for the 2 fard rakahs almost runs out.  What happens here is that for the 2 sunnah, I get a bit late for my 2 fard.

Salaam, peace.    If you’re short of time, no problem.  Offer the 2 fard first.  In fact I always offer the fard rakahs first even if I have time and then offer the 2 non-obligatory rakahs.  Obligatory rakahs must always be given precedence over the non-obligatory ones.
 
The concept of offering the 2 non-obligatory (call it Sunnah or nafl) rakahs before comes from the usual Hadith stories where the level of reliability is next to zero even if they call it “sahih” which hardly helps to give much credence.

According to Hadith stories on this topic, the Prophet (pbuh) offered 13 rakahs for the optional night prayers (tahajjud), and then it would perhaps be close to fajr time and the fajr adhan would be sounded.  In between fajr adhan and the iqama, he would offer 2 optional rakahs, and then after iqama offer the 2 fard fajr rakahs.  In other words, according to the Hadith argument, 2 sunnah or nafl was offered by the Prophet (pbuh) because he was already awake prior to fajr adhan.  But some folks may awaken a little late, after adhan.  In that case they certainly need to do the 2 fard rakahs first.  After that, they can offer the 2 non-obligatory nafl rakahs if they have the time.  As things are nowadays, people are often in a hurry when they wake up in the morning on week days to rush for work.  In a situation like this, make sure and try your best not to miss the fard rakahs for fajr before sunrise.  These 2 obligatory rakahs are very important.  If you have the time, also offer the 2 nafl afterwards as  extra ibadah during fajr feels very comforting.  Alhumdulilah. 

Those who go to the masjid to offer fajr, may offer the nafl first soon after the adhan sounds and before the iqama begins because in the jam'ah (congregation) for fajr at the masjid, they only offer the 2 fard rakahs (as far as I know).

In that case first offer the fard rakahs with the congregation, then you can offer the non-obligatory rakahs either in the masjid on your own, or offer it after returning home.
