The Ruling on Alerting the Verses of the Qur’an in Prayer

Abstract

Praise be to Allah, and may prayers and peace be upon the faithful Prophet. Prayer holds a high position in Islam, and the Sharia clarifies its rulings, as well as what validates or invalidates them. Due to human nature being prone to forgetfulness and distraction, worshippers often find themselves in situations where they need to correct their actions during prayer and alert others to possible mistakes. Many times, an Imam may be uncertain about the correct course of action, or congregants may inadvertently disrupt his prayer with conversations. In such cases, it becomes necessary to address the issue and continue with the prayer. This research aims to benefit worshippers, including Imams and congregants, by providing guidance on correcting prayers and avoiding accidental omissions, as well as offering strategies for alerting others when necessary. The research discusses various examples of Quranic verses that can be remembered and utilized during prayer to alert the Imam, the congregation, or others. The title of this research is: "The Ruling on Alerting with Quranic Verses During Prayer". Its primary objectives include mentioning examples of Quranic verses suitable for alerting. The research is structured into an introduction, four main sections, and a conclusion. The first section covers the warning of praise and similar actions, the second focuses on alerting with Quranic verses, the third explores the positions of early scholars regarding Quranic verse alerting, and the fourth provides examples of Quranic verses suitable for alerting during prayer.
