In a very short period of time, the world trade markets and the “economic boom” took a toll for the worse and plummeted to its all-time low. Those who are unaware of the workings of Western Capitalistic Economy continue to turn a blind eye and regard this crisis as a mere short term recoverable mini recession. At the same time, those who have spent their lives in the field are much more critical.

QuestionI need to clarify something about Isha prayer in UK. These days, or generally in summers, Maghrib prayer time goes as late as 2145 at night which means that Isha will be quite late. I have heard that you can offer Isha after 1 and half hour after Maghrib time. However, untill the sky blacks out, you can't offer Isha.Some mosques say time for Salah is 11 whereas others say its 12 midnight.

Allah Taala commands us in the Holy Quraan: "When the Quraan is read, listen to it with attention and hold your peace: that ye may receive mercy." (Verse 204, Surah Al-A'araaf)Many commentators like of Mujaahid, Ibn Juraij and Saeed ibnul Musayib (R.A) are of the opinion that the above verse also refers to the period of the Jumuah Khutba and Salaat. ( Tafseer Ibn Katheer - vol 2)Rasulullah

Unlike ordinary lectures - the Jumuáh Khutbah holds a special position in Islam hence the necessity for it being delivered in the Arabic language. Its importance is recorded in the books of Fiqh. One such quotation reads, 'There is no doubt in the fact that the Khutbah in a language other than Arabic is contrary to the Sunnah transmitted from Nabi (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) and the Sahaaba (

Method:1. A person who has missed any Rakaat and then joined the Jamaat should continue the Salaat with the Imaam to the end. Once the Imaam turns to say the second Salaam, the Masbooq should stand up and complete the missed number of Rakaats.2. If the Masbooq has missed two Rakaats in Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr or Esha, he should complete both the Rakaats by reciting Surah Faatiha and another Surah in
