happy damadan to all muslim brothers and sisters

where can i find Sehre and Ifta'ar timings ...

Happy Ramadhan!!!!!!!!!

Would like to appreciate the Management Committe for commendable Iftar arrangement

ive got a question regarding Asr prayer, i am confused as to why there are two times for the prayer and which time should i be reading Asr at? i have been told that because my family follow Hanafi we should read it at the later time, but did the Prophet (PBUH) not say that it was the hypocrites that offered their salat at this time..?

the first time is according to shafi school of thought, 2nd is hanafi. they are both valid opinions. i think what you are referring to is that it is said the hypocrites are the ones who leave their prayer till the last minute, not the 2nd asr time.

sehri ends when fajr starts.

iftaar starts at maghrib time.

well iftari opens at maghrib time, and sehri ends usually around fajr, but you might still be able to get a copy of the Ramzan timetable from the Mosque

Salam, i was wondering if you could verify the ramadan times for Glasgow given on salah times website. Those timings differ from yours by approximately an hour.

There are different scholarly opinions on the start times for prayers. On the Page that you mention, selecting a different  "Prayer Calculation Method" demonstrates the point.

As salaamu alaykum

Is there any iftaari preps for the ladies, or only the men?

Also why are there two times for fajr. Is there anyone who can clarify why there is such a big gap between the two and which one should we follow?

can you please advise what is the correct prayer calculation method to use according to the Hanafi Mazab. i stay in dunfermline so your prayer timetable is inadequate for me. Please help. jazakallah

There are iftaari arrangements for sisters too. You can enter the far left door of the larger Community Hall.

The two times that you refer to are what Radio Ramadhan published. They are prayer times according to the opinions of different scholars. I'd go with what your local Mosque are doing.

so if i am able to offer salat at the first time of Asr then it would still be valid? or should i wait for the second time?

v r relocating to glasgow.could someone please inform us of family areas to live .also tel us about job prospects for electrical engineers in glasgow.many thanks

Assalam Aleykum

The southside of Glasgow and the westend of Glasgow are ideal in terms of shopping for meat, masjids, asian/muslim community.

Areas such as Giffnock, Shawlands, Newlands, Newton Mearns are nice family orientated areas which have low crime rates and are a short distance from Govanhill and Pollokshields which are two main areas in the southside of Glasgow that you will be able to do your shopping.  These areas also have clothes shops, jewellers, meethai shops and community centres that cater for asian/muslim needs such as english classes, information and advice, quran classes, leisure classes.

Dunfermline is about forty miles from Glasgow. The GCM prayer timetable was prepared to serve the neighbouring towns and villages too. The data was acquired from statistical sources like almanacs, etc. It was enriched by human observation (mushaahadah) - carried out by a team of brothers. To the best of our knowledge this observation was not comprehensive, as it did not cover all of the seasons, as it was meant only to verify the information provided by the 'sources'.

A margin of up to five minutes was adopted in order to include the neighbouring towns. Hence it should cover a distance of up to 25 miles. Those beyond may add another couple of minutes.

Generally speaking, South Asians are generally "Hanafi", so they pray the second Asr, whereas you may have seen our Arab brothers pray the first Asr.

as-salamu-alaikum,

I would like to know what is the timing for the id-ul-fitr prayer. and when will it be.

What does hanafi mean?

Salam,

I believe the date given for Eid-ul-Fitr shd be Sunday 20 September and not 19 September.

EID MUBARAK TO ALL BROTHERS & SISTERS
