Method of praying Qaza Salahs Quickly

If someone have missed Salahs in their account. Either one time's or of many years, they must pray their Qaza as soon as possible. Salah is a Fard and not forgiven. On the day of judgement Salah will be the first thing asked about.

For the people who have many years of missed Salahs. There is a way to pray them quickly. Following instructions have four exeptions and has all Fards and Wajibs for a complete Salat. Please pray your Qaza as soon as possible. Even of you could pray one days Qaza Salahs every day which are only 20 rakahs (3 wajib witr), please do it. It only takes few mins to perform 20 rakahs according to the following instructions.

1) In Ruku and Sajdah instead of reciting "Subhaana Rabbiyal Azeem" and "Subhaana Rabbiyal A'la" three times, say it only once. But make sure do not leave Ruku poster untill the Meem (M) of Azeem has been said properly. Similarly do not leave the posture of Sajdah until Ala has been said completely. Just make sure to say these Tasbeehaat properly and do not rush.

2) In third and four Rakah of Fard Salah instead of reciting the whole Soorah Fatiha say, "Subhan Allah" three times and go to Ruku, . Make sure "Subhan Allah" has been recited three times properly, do not rush. This exeption is only for Fard. In third rakah of Witr it's a must to recite full Soorah Fatiha followed by at least three ayahs of Quran or a soorah (as we usually do in first and second rakah).

3) In last Qaidah (when we sit for Attahyyat) before Salam, after Attahyyat instead of full Durood and Dua just say, "Allah Humma Salle Ala Sayedena Mohammad Wa Aalihi", then finish the Salat with Salam. Dua is not a must here.

4) In Witr, instead of full Dua-e-Qunoot just say "Rabbigh Fir Lee" one or three times.

Re: Making Up Salat

how do u do the niyah, that u do before starting prayer,for the qaza namaz?

7

Re: Making Up Salat

You just do Niyah that u r going to pray for the first of all e.g, Fajar Salats that u have missed.

Re: Making Up Salat

what a moronic thing....

first of all the person who issued the fatwa has the gutts to say that only 20 rakaat is enuff to make up for all the missed prayers....

and then he changes the way the salaat was done by the Prophet (saw) bringing in his own tasbeeh and azkaar....

this is WRONG....

fatwa is definitely not coming from the follower of the sunnah of the Prophet (saw)....
more like a sufi or barelvi types of mislead sects....

Re: Making Up Salat

Imam Malik (ra) once said in his famous saying:

"Man tasawaffa wa lam yatafaqa faqad tazandaqa, wa man tafaqaha wa lam yatasawaf faqad tafasaq, wa man tasawaffa wa tafaqaha faqad tahaqaq."

Which means: " Whoever studied Tasawwuf without Fiqh is a heretic, and whoever studied Fiqh without Tasawwuf is corrupted, and whoever studied Tasawwuf and Fiqh will find the Truth and Reality of Islam."

Sufis are Ahle Tasawwuf. You can read the Kashful Mahjub by Syed Ali Hujweri for further information.

Re: Making Up Salat

^ let sufis be what they r, but such fatwas r not ISLAMIC....
its a mockery of prayer what the fatwa suggests....

Re: Making Up Salat

Armughal, I think you may be mistaken here. By 20 rakat, farikhta or the scholar meant 20 rakat per day to start making up for missing ones. Meaning if one has 1000 prayers missed, start as slow as 20 rakat per day menaing one qaza namaz everyday for all 5 prayers in a day leading towards the total number. Not 20 for all of one has ever missed in life. At least that's what I understood. But the method of saying quick or shortened prayer is a news to me. I never heard of that. I heard that one can be brief such as only using Surah Ikhlaas and not lengthy Surahs but not that method described above by frikhta.

Jazak-Allah Kher

Re: Making Up Salat

I'm sorry but its also wrong of u 2 so blatantly describe barelvi and sufi sects as misleading. Only Allah knows best and u do not have the right 2 degrade any sect in sch a manner.

Re: Making Up Salat

Assalam o Alaikum

The best way ( the way i did :) ) is to make a best judgement of how many qaza you have make a tabular form like ( for eg i had according to my best judgment 1 year qaza) , make a table for each month , after each normal namaz offer atleat one qaza ( also offer qaza inplace of nafils ) ( so in place of * tahiyatul wadoo* or * taheyatul masjid* offer fajr qaza and so on) just start and you will finish inshallah.

Let me get back home inshallah i will mail you the format i had made.

Wasalam

Re: Making Up Salat

The fatwah was taken from Imam Ahmed Raza Khan. In fact, I'll paste some other fatwah's from some "Arab" Sunni Scholars, if you like?

16

Re: Making Up Salat

^ i misunderstood and did not read the 20 rakaats daily part but still there is no justification for changing the tasbeehaat....

and he is suggesting to skip surah fateha and replace it with subhanAllah, when the Prophet (saw) has said that there is no salaat without fateha????

17

Re: Making Up Salat

There is no Salaah without Surah Fatiha.

Reciting Surah Fatiha and a minimum number of three ayaas after Fatiha is one of the requirements of Salaah, without which the salaah is invalid.

This fatwa is unfounded and baseless, and should be trashed away...especially since its coming from one of the leading heretics in the history of Islam.

Re: Making Up Salat

Okay, I found the following from www.sunnipath.com by Faraz Rabbani. I’ll post some more later.

(1) One should note that Imam Kamal ibn al-Humam and other great Hanafi scholars considered the Fatiha to be wajib even in the final rakas. Allama al-Maydani, author of the Lubab, notes this too, and it is certainly more precautionary, even in makeups, given that other schools deem it obligatory (fard). However, the transmitted position (dhahir al-riwaya) from our Imam (Allah be pleased with him) is that **both reciting the Fatiha and doing three tasbihs are a confirmed sunna in the final rakas, though the former has more reward.** Shaykh Adib al-Kallas of Damascus, and other Hanafi fuqaha’ I have asked, emphasized that it is best to make up one’s prayer in a way that is unquestionably sound, and said it is therefore better to recite the Fatiha when making up prayers too.

(2) Ibn Abidin concludes in his Hashiya, after presenting the proofs and positions on the issue, that according to the principles of the Hanafi school, it would appear that reciting the tasbihs THREE TIMES would be a wajib; however, the transmitted position of our Imam and the school’s scholars is that it is a confirmed sunna.

Allah knows the best.

Re: Making Up Salat

Again from www.sunnipath.com by Faraz Rabbani:

The issues mentioned from Imam Ahmad Raza Brelvi’s fatwa: [Allah have mercy on him]

  1. One can miss Surah Fatiha in the last two rakats of a four-cycle prayer and in the last rakah of the maghrib prayer, and read Subhan Allah three times in the qiyam position instead.

  2. Instead of reading the tasbihs three times in ruku and sujud, read them only once.

  3. At the end of the prayer, instead of reading the full durood sharif, one can just read “Allahumma salli ala Muhammadin wa alaa alayhi” and do the salaam.

  4. In the witr prayer, instead of reading dua-e-qunoot, one can read “rabbighfirli” again three times.

It appears from how scholars deal with makeups that there are two approaches

(a) to finish them as soon as possible, taking all valid shortcuts, even if it means leaving sunna acts within;
(b) to pray them quickly, but without haste and without leaving any confirmed sunnas.

Approach (b) rests on the idea that the makeup prayer (qada’) is obligatory by that which the current performance (ada’) was obligatory, the only difference being that it was delayed (generally sinfully) beyond its appointed time. As such, the makeup too is due for acceptance or rejection from Allah, and should therefore be performed in a way pleasing to him, though quickly, in order to clear one’s debts.

Shaykh Adib al-Kallas [daamat barakaatuhu] emphasized that if one repents from one’s non-performance or invalid performance, and then has a strong resolve, and a systematic, consistent makeup schedule one sticks to, then even if one dies, Allah will forgive one for any remaining makeups. [This is different from one who does not resolve to do this, or does not consistently make up their prayers.] There is a difference between the rights of Allah and the rights of His creation, for Allah is free of all need, while the latter are needy. As such, Allah has promised to forgive a truly repentant slave, whereas we have no such assurances about that which is due to others.

Re: Making Up Salat

The following (again from the same website), I did not know :( All I knew in making qada prayers was Fard prayer and not Sunnah. May be it's another position and that some still accept that only Fard is to be made up for Qada prayers. Any other position someone knows about it?

We should not forget that we are not to leave our confirmed sunna prayers (2 before fajr, 4 before Zuhr and 2 after, 2 after both Maghrib and after Isha), even when making up prayers. Leaving a confirmed sunna even once without excuse is blameworthy and deserves reproach (from Allah), while leaving it repeatedly or making it a habit to leave it is sinful, for it is considered turning away from the Sunna of the Prophet (Allah bless him & give him peace), who said, "Whoever turns away from my Sunna is not of me."

And Allah knows best.
