Answers: 13Subcategories: 2Recitation in Prayer
Can You Recite Part of a Surah in Prayer?
It is permissible to recite part of a long surah in prayer instead of reciting a complete short surah, but it is better to recite a complete surah in each rak`ah. This is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) usually did.73,850If a person does not know how to read or write, how can he pray?
24,978Reciting only the verses that one knows?
25,138Can We Recite the Same Surah in Each Rak`ah?
There is nothing wrong with repeating the same Surah in the Tarawih prayer, or in any other prayer. A person may recite a Surah in the first Rak`ah and repeat the same Surah in the second.130,615The Sunnah with regard to reciting Surat al-Sajdah and al-Insaan in full in Fajr on Fridays
62,367Do You Have to Recite Bismillah Before Every Surah?
If you are reciting the Surah after Al-Fatihah from the beginning, then you should say the Basmalah (Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim) apart from Surah At-Tawbah. If you are reciting from the middle of a Surah, then it is not recommended to recite the Basmalah.116,705Correcting the mistakes of the imam’s recitation in a soorah other than al-Fatihah

21,042Should We Recite al-Fatihah behind the Imam?
Reciting al-Fatihah is one of the essential parts of the prayer. If you are following an imam, there are two scholarly opinions: 1- reciting al-Fatihah behind the imam is obligatory; 2- the recitation of the imam is also the recitation of the one who is praying behind him.333,377He recites the soorah after al-Faatihah quietly so that the congregation can recite al-Faatihah
