Common Mistake by Muslim Brothers During Prayer
(Last Accessed on 12-12-2012)
Why we should wear enough clothes during prayer?
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
‘Awrah in Arabic means a weak point along a border and the like.
In Misbaah al-Muneer it says: Everything that a person covers out of dignity or modesty is ‘awrah.
According to the fuqaha’, everything that it is haraam for a man or woman to uncover is ‘awrah.
Covering the ‘awrah, in the terminology of the fuqaha’, means covering that of which exposure is shameful and causes shame, whether the individual is male or female or hermaphrodite.
See: al-Mawsoo‘ah al-Fiqhiyyah, 24/173
Secondly:
Covering the ‘awrah is one of the conditions of prayer being valid because Allah, may He be exalted, says: (interpretation of the meaning):
“Take your adornment (by wearing your clean clothes) while praying”
[al-A‘raaf 7:31].
Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: What is meant by adornment in this verse is wearing clothes whilst praying. This was narrated by al-Tabari in his Tafseer, 12/391
And the Prophet (sa) said: “Allah does not accept the prayer of a woman of childbearing age (lit. a woman who menstruates) except with a head covering.”
Narrated by Abu Dawood, 641; narrated and classed as saheeh by al-Tirmidhi, 377; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani.
It says in al-Mughni (1/336):
Concealing the ‘awrah from view with something that does not show the skin is obligatory and is a condition of prayer being valid. This is the view of al-Shaafa‘i and ashaab al-ra’y. End quote.
Ibn Hajar said:
The majority are of the view that covering the ‘awrah is one of the conditions of prayer.
End quote. Fath al-Baari, 1/466
Thirdly:
What is required of the worshipper is to cover his ‘awrah whilst praying, according to the consensus of the Muslims. The ‘awrah of a man is the area between the navel and the knees, according to the majority of scholars.
See: al-Mughni, 3/7; al-Istidhkaar, 2/197; Fataawa Islamiyyah, 1/427
With regard to women, the hair and the entire body are ‘awrah and she has to cover them, apart from the face and hands. If she does that, then her prayer is proper, according to scholarly consensus.
See: al-Iqnaa‘ fi Masaa’il al-Ijmaa‘, by Ibn Qattaan, 1/121-123; al-Sharh al-Mumti‘, 2/160 ff.
Fourthly:
If a person starts to pray with his ‘awrah covered, then during the prayer he is not sure whether some of it has become uncovered, then he should ignore that doubt and complete his prayer, because the basic principle is that the ‘awrah is still covered, and developing doubt about what you were certain about should not be given any attention.
Al-Bukhaari (137) and Muslim (361) narrated from ‘Abbaas ibn Tameem that his paternal uncle said: A complaint was made to the Prophet (S) about when one thinks that something has happened whilst he praying. He said: “Do not stop until you hear a sound or notice a smell.”
Al-Nawawi said:
This hadeeth is one of the basic principles of Islam and an important foundation of fiqh, namely that things are deemed to still be as they originally were unless there is certain proof of the contrary, and passing doubts do not affect that. End quote.
What the worshipper has to do is to prepare for his prayer before he starts to pray. So he should put on clothes that he is certain will cover his ‘awrah and leave clothes that he is afraid will let something of his ‘awrah show whilst he is praying, such as short T-shirts and other kinds of clothing which may rise up and show the lower back, lest some part of his ‘awrah be uncovered when he bows or prostrates.

Winning MS and PhD Scholarships In S. Korea
Dear All,
Let me explain to you that in Korea the easiest way to get admission and scholarship (both fee and living expenses) is first of all, you should search relevant professors of your choice and research interest. Then you should make a tailored made CV according to the interest of those relevant professors and send him/her that CV along with a short email stating your introduction and show your interest that you want to do master/Ph.D under his/her supervision. If a professor shows interest it means almost you have 99% chances that your admission is confirmed. In most of the cases, university provides tuition fee scholarship while professor provide monthly living expenses scholarship. It also means you have to struggle to get these two scholarships. If you get one then the other you have to pay by yourself and it is very expensive for individual. So, first of all, you should try to find “Faculty” => Professors profiles on the university website. Then what you have to do is:
1.Read all your major professors profiles, research interests and projects.
2. Make your CV research oriented.
3. Write an email.
4. Send your email and CV to as many professors as you can (keep in mind only interested professors may reply you, so don’t be disappointed)
Note: If you are interested in any specific professor and he/she does not reply you then you must contact him/her by" telephone". Please keep in mind that many professors do not reply, so in that case, you must contact him/her by telephone.
Important:
1. Maybe if you face some trouble while opening website then please install “Korean” language tools.
2.Deadlines and time is very important.
3.Try to get any English proficiency certificate. Sometime it increases chances of scholarships.
If any updates, I will let you know. Regards, Murad
4. Once the ball starts rolling (getting in contact with professor) Come up with a project plan or SOP (Statment of purpose, Research plan) that what you are going to research about. Indulge yourself in writing new project proposals if required.
PSA community, please if any information is missing then add it with regards.
