Faraz Rabbani – Weekly Q&A Can I Recite Other Sunna Adhkar in the Prayer

Can

we recite additionally narrated Athkar in the prayer?

Yes.

The Athkar within the prayer are related to

from our beloved Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam

and

we recite them because the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi

Wasallam

recited them.

So there is merit in them and

however

the

imam does not elongate

their prayer because that is against prophetic teachings.

So the imam

recites just the tasbihs and

they might

add a little bit to that.

Right so they recite the 3 tasbihs maybe

a little more in order for for the

followers to be able to follow but the

follower

after doing the 3 tasbihs

and saying subhanahu wa bi'al 'aveem 3 times

or subhanahu wa bi'ala 3 times cause those

are emphasized sunnahs after that, if there's still

time, they can make Dua or dhikr

both in ruku and prostration.

That is good to do

for the follower

and the one praying on their own

even in the obligatory prayer and it is

recommended it is mustahab

in one's

voluntary prayers in one's Sunnah and Nafil prayers

and particularly in night prayer because that's where

it is narrated the prophet

did

these athkar

more regularly.

So there's nothing wrong with making dhikr

in one's ruku or sujud

and rather one should learn the athkar related

to ruku and sujud

so that

one can enrich one's prayer.

Right?

And and even the, you know, Hanafi manual

such as Nurul Ilah

tell us about

the rulings related to these Athkar and so

on. So one should recite them. And that's

one of the benefits of learning

because it gives one clarity about one's

religious

practice.
