When we are praying behind the imam, when should we start to bow?
Should we bow when we hear the imam say Allaahu akbar or during that
or after he has finished saying it?.
Praise be to Allaah.
What is prescribed for the one who is praying behind the imam is to
follow his imam, not to do anything before him or at the same time as
him, or to delay doing it. Rather he should do things straight after
his imam does them.
This is indicated by the report narrated by al-Bukhaari (378) and
Muslim (417), from the hadeeth of Anas ibn Maalik and Abu Hurayrah
(may Allaah be pleased with them), according to which the Messenger of
Allaah(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "The imam is
only appointed to be followed, so when he says takbeer, then say
takbeer; when he bows, then bow (and do not bow until he bows); when
he saysSami'a Allaahu liman hamidah, then sayAllaahumma rabbana
laka'l-hamd. If he prays standing, then pray standing." The phrase in
brackets was added in the version narrated by Abu Dawood (603).
The words of the Prophet(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him):
"when he bows, then bow and do not bow until he bows", and the same
with regard to prostration, indicate that the person who is praying
behind the imam should not start to move to the next part of the
prayer until after the imam has done it. So he should not bow until
the imam bows, and he should not prostrate until the imam prostrates.
This is stated clearly in the hadeeth of al-Bara' ibn 'Aazib (may
Allaah be pleased with him) who said: When the Messenger of Allaah (S)
said "Sami'a Allaahu liman hamidah," no one of us would bend his back
until the Messenger of Allaah (S) had gone down in prostration, then
we would go down in prostration after him. Narrated by al-Bukhaari
(811)and Muslim (474).
Al-Nawawi said inSharh Muslim: This hadeeth shows that this is one of
the etiquettes of prayer and it is Sunnah for the one who is praying
behind the imam not to start going down (for prostration) until the
imam has placed his forehead on the ground. End quote.
Based on this, what is prescribed for the one who is praying behind
the imam is to follow his imam straight after he has moved to the next
part of the prayer. So what counts is the action of the imam, not his
takbeer. This applies to those who can see the imam. As for the
members of the congregation who cannot see him, then they should
follow his words, and they should start to move to the next part of
the prayer after the imam finishes saying the takbeer.And Allaah knows
best.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-

Dought & clear, - When should the one who is praying behind the imam bow? When the imam says takbeer, or straight after the takbeer, or when?.
INTERCESSION OF IMAM REDA (AS), THE IMAM-E-ZAAMIN (Guarantor)
It is written in 'Dhillul Mateen' that Meer Mu'inuddin Ashraf who was
one of the virtuous attendants of the shrine of Imam Reda (as) says
that, "Once I dreamd that I was in the shrine of Imam Reda (as) and
was coming out to perform ablution (Wudu). When I came near the mound
of Ameer Ali Sher, I saw a group of people entering the shrine of Imam
Reda (as). An eminent personality was leading them, and they all
carried spades in their hands. As soon as they entered the shrine, the
eminent personality pointed towards a particular grave and said, "Dig
out the wretched fellow from his grave". Hearing his command they
started digging the grave. I asked one of those men as to who that man
was. He replied that, he is the Commander of the faithful, Ali ibn Abi
Talib. Suddenly I saw that Imam Reda (as) came out of his shrine and
greeted the Commander of the faithful, Ali ibn Abi Talib. The
Commander of the faithful, Ali ibn Abi Talib answered His greeting.
Imam Reda (as) said, "O my Respected Grandfather! I request you, and
have faith, that you will forgive this person on my behalf who lies
buried here under the shelter of my shrine". The Commander of the
faithful, Ali ibn Abi Talib answered, "O my dear son! Do you know that
he was a mischief-creator, an adulterer, and a drunkard"? Imam Reda
(as) replied, "I do know, but when his last moment neared he willed to
be buried under the shelter of my shrine, so I request you to forgive
him on my behalf." The Commander of the faithful, Ali ibn Abi Talib
forgave him and left. I awoke from my sleep in awe and woke up the
other attendants and related to them my dream. We all went to the
place which I had seen in my dream, and found a newly constructed
grave, whose mud was scattered. After inquiry we learnt that a Turkish
man who had died was buried there the day before".
Haji Ali Baghdadi had the honour of meeting Imam Mahdi (as)and ask
him some questions. One of the questions put forward by him was that,
"Is it true that a person who goes for the pilgrimage (Ziyarah) to the
shrine of Imam Hussain (as)on Friday night receives salvation"? Imam
Mahdi (as) replied, "Yes, by Allah". Haji Ali Baghdadi says that I saw
tears in the eyes of Imam Mahdi (as). Then I asked him another
question, "In the year 1269 A.H. when we went for the pilgrimage
(Ziyarah) to the shrine of Imam Reda (as), we met a nomadic Arab who
was a native of Najaf. We invited him for a meal and asked him his
views regarding the reward of the love of Imam Reda (as). He replied,
"Paradise", and said, "Since the past fifteen days I have been the
ZAIR (pilgrim) of Imam Reda (as), do Munkar and Nakir have the nerve
to come near me. The food which I consumed from the table of Imam Reda
(as) has turned into flesh and blood". I asked Imam Mahdi (as) whether
his claim was true. Imam Reda (as) replied, "Yes it is true. Imam Reda
(as) himself will come and save him for the questioning in the grave.
For verily by Allah! My Grandfather is a Zaamin (Guarantor) Imam".
(Manazile Akherah by Shaykh Abbas bin Muhammad Reza Al-Qummi, pp. 62-64.)

MAMOON RASHID'S OFFER OF HEIR TO IMAM REDA (AS)
On Imam Reda's (as) arrival in Marw (Khurasan), the seat of Mamoon
Rashid's caliphate, the Abbasid caliph showed him hospitality and
great respect, then he said to him: "I want to get rid of myself of
the caliphate and vest the office in you." But Imam Reda (as) refused
his offer. Then Mamoon Rashid repeated his offer in a letter saying:
"If you refuse what I have offered you, then you must accept being the
heir after me." But again Imam Reda (as) refused his offer vigorously.
Mamoon Rashid summoned him. He was alone with Al-Fadl ibn Sahl, the
Iranian noble incharge of two offices (i.e., military and civil).
There was no one else in their gathering. Mamoon Rashid said to Imam
Reda (as), "I thought it appropriate to invest authority over the
Muslims in you and to relieve myself of the responsibility by giving
it to you." When again Imam Reda (as) refused to accept his offer,
Mamoon Rashid spoke to him as if threatening him for his refusal. In
his speech he said, "Umar ibn al-Khattab made a committee of
consultation (shura) (to appoint a successor). Among them was your
forefather, the Commander of the faithful, Ali ibn Abi Talib. (Umar
ibn al-Khattab) stipulated that any of them who opposed the decision
should be executed. So there is no escape for you from accepting what
I want from you. I will ignore your rejection of it."
In reply, Imam Reda (as) said: "I will agree to what you want of me as
far as succession is concerned on condition that I do not command, nor
order, nor give legal decisions, nor judge, nor appoint, nor dismiss,
nor change anything from how it is at present." Mamoon Rashid accepted
all of that.
On the day when Mamoon Rashid ordered to make the pledge of allegiance
to Imam Reda (as) one of the close associates of Imam Reda (as), who
was present, narrates, "On that day I was in front of him. Imam Reda
(as) looked at me while I was feeling happy about what had happened.
Imam Reda (as) signalled me to come closer. I went closer to him and
he said so that no one else could hear, 'Do not occupy your heart with
this matter and do not be happy about it. It is something which will
not be achieved.'"

Darwinists have deceived the world with fraud
Let us consider a scientific theory, the Big Bang for instance. This
theory was first proposed on the basis of a suspicion and a hypothesis
based on Einstein's theory of relativity. Following that, the search
began for the evidence needed to prove that this huge explosion
happened. This evidence did really exist. The cosmic microwave
background radiation confirming the explosion in question was found
and the isotopic nature of the universe (the fact that all space is at
-270oC) was discovered. It was also scientifically proved that the
universe is constantly expanding, and this was another important and
definitive piece of evidence confirming the theory in question.
Therefore, the Big Bang theory became one whose every claim had been
tested, confirmed and thus proved.
Darwin's theory of evolution was also launched under the name of a
"hypothesis." (In fact, the reason for the launching of the theory of
evolution was entirely ideological, but it was presented under the
guise of a scientific theory.) In order for this theory to be regarded
as valid, its claims would have to be proved, just like those of the
Big Bang. For that it would have to be observed whether or not the
imaginary mechanisms of evolution did in fact cause evolution. The
progress of 20th-century science proved that "natural selection,"
Darwin's illusory evolutionary mechanism, played no evolutionary role.
The science of genetics also inflicted a disappointment on
neo-Darwinists, who had lost hope in natural selection and sought to
depict mutation as an evolutionary mechanism instead. Following the
realization that mutations had no evolutionary effect either, it was
now the turn of the fossil record—Darwin and Darwinists' greatest
hope. The conclusion demonstrated by the fossil record, however, came
as a terrible shock to Darwinists! None of the imaginary intermediate
form fossils that had been sought for so many years existed anywhere
on Earth. Deeper research changed nothing. Not one single intermediate
form fossil has ever been found as a result of all the research that
has been conducted to date.
Unwilling to abandon the false religion they adhered to, Darwinists
for years continued to hope that evidence for Darwinism would be
forthcoming. But none of the anticipated but illusory evidence ever
appeared. Despite this however, Darwinist lies never ended, and
pro-Darwinist demagoguery was stubbornly kept up. The interesting
thing is that despite the passage of 150 years, the failure to obtain
a single piece of evidence, and despite the fact that the conclusion
produced by genetics and the fossil record proved the fact of
Creation, Darwinists still imagine this false religion can survive.
But they are making a terrible error, of course. In fact, even the
proponents of the theory are aware that evolution never happened in
the history of life. They have clearly seen this as the result of
countless pieces of scientific evidence.
Despite all the foregoing, since the theory of evolution is an
ideology, a false religion needing to be propped up by its adherents
no matter what, Darwinists still need to maintain this false image of
their theory having a scientific nature. That is the reason why
Darwinists have resorted to fraud, speculation and countless
propaganda techniques to keep this false religion alive for the last
150 years. As a requirement of their false religion, Darwinists have
no other option to inculcate people with the idea that their theory is
"true." Because there is no scientific evidence for the truth of the
theory, they try to give the impression that "scientific evidence does
exist."
In his bookCreative Defense, Nicholas Comninellis from the University
of Missouri-Kansas City describes the position in which this terrible
deception will find itself in the future:
Philosophically, the dogma of evolution is a dream, a theory without a
vestige of truth. Within fifty years, children in school will read of
extraordinary popular delusions, and this will be mentioned as one of
the most absurd. Many a merry jest will be uttered bearing upon the
follies of nineteenth century science.1
Comninellis's analysis is an accurate one. The theory of evolution
consists of a false claim and the history of the theory is filled with
countless examples of fraud. Every claim and piece of evidence
produced by evolution is a fraud. The true nature, the true face of
all these frauds has been exposed. But the supporters of the religion
of Darwinism try to gloss over this or make people forget it. But no
matter how much they squirm, the whole world has begun to realize that
Darwinist propaganda rests on rotten foundations. As Comninellis says,
future generations will be amazed at the global effect of this
terrible deception and how it was supported by world-renowned
professors and scientists, and will ridicule this enormous
irrationality for quite a while.
The Dajjal tried to turn people away from Allah (God) through such
false methods. But all his plans have now been thwarted. The method he
employed, that is Darwinism, has now begun becoming a subject of
ridicule, even for children. The whole world will soon remember the
nonsense of Darwinism with horror and shame. This is very certainly a
snare from our Almighty Lord, a response to those who would rebel
against Him. As He reveals in one verse:
The evil actions they did assailed them. They were engulfed by what
they mocked. (Surat an-Nahl, 34)
