When you pray with other, do you lead the salaah or just follow?

just follow :( and i still mess itup, most of the time, i forget where im at in the salah, like ill forget if ive done 1,2 3, rakah. i have no idea whats going on
sometimes i even forget how many im supposed to do for the salah just as soon as al fatiha is being read, well its what ive noticed anyway...none of this happens at home, on my own :(

If you're following, then you just follow, so how do you forget and mess up?

You can delay doing the movements and wait for other to do it. For example, when it's time to go to sujood, wait 1-2 seconds, when other are half way down, you can do down then, and so on.

If you are following than you should know what rakat you are on by following the leader.

This could also be a form of prettying the Salah for people.

Pray as if you are home, don't worry about others.

We all loose concentration sometimes but this seems to have gone a bit over board.

sometimes i forget if ive done sujood once, or two times, so can mess up. im not used to praying around people i guess and then make it harder that it has to be

and the delaying means focusing on others when im trying to focus on me, and again, that gets me stressed out

Re: salah

Re: salah

also, when i started to go masjid sometimes for salah, i just thought it owuld be like when im at home, then i see how it is different, and ive been trying to grasp it, but, i tend to do salah at home usually, only like eid salah that kind of thing or tarawih, but i think maybe i need to learn about praying at masjid or soemthing?

If it's easier for you to pray on your own, then pray on your own. :insha:

i thought this, thats why initially,after learning how to pray, all i did, was pray at home, but then your aware of people going to masjid for salah, so i thought i should go sometiems right, so i started going thinking that i should make the effort to go and pray, why am i taking easy way out and doing it at home all the time, i dont know , is it ok, to not go masjid for prayers?

Re: salah

Women are encouraged to offer their salaah at home and individually; in Hanafi fiqh, it's more superior for women to pray individually.

Umm Salama (RA) narrates that the Messenger of Allah said: “The best Mosque for a woman is the inner part of her home.” (Musnad Ahmad & Tabrani)

Sayyiduna Abd Allah ibn Umar (RA) narrates that the Messenger of Allah said: “Do not prevent your womenfolk from attending the Mosque, even though their houses are better for them.” (Sunan Abu Dawud)

Sayyida Umm Salama (RA) narrates that the Messenger of Allah said: “A woman’s prayer in her inner room is better than her prayer in the outside room, and her prayer in the outside room is better than her prayer in the courtyard, and her prayer in the courtyard is better than her prayer in the Mosque.” (Mu’jam of Imam Tabrani)
