Question 1

Are there Sunnah prayers connected to Dhuhr?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The Prophet ﷺ regularly prayed four rak‘ahs of Sunnah before Dhuhr and two after. He described them as deeply rewarding and a source of closeness to Allah. If your day in Ciudad Benito Juarez allows it, include at least a few of them. They act like a soft spiritual warm-up before your main prayer and a calm reflection afterward.

Question 2

How can I stay focused during Dhuhr when I’m tired or distracted?

Accepted Answer

Start by slowing your breathing before you begin, and remind yourself who you’re standing before. Dhuhr is your pause—a mental and spiritual deep breath. If your mind drifts, gently bring it back with the words you’re reciting. You don’t have to be perfect; you just have to be present. Even one moment of true focus can fill your heart with peace.

Question 3

Why is Dhuhr often called the 'middle prayer'?

Accepted Answer

While Dhuhr is in the middle of the workday and serves as a crucial spiritual checkpoint, the term 'the middle prayer' (Al-Salat al-Wusta) mentioned in the Qur'an refers specifically to the Asr prayer, according to the strongest prophetic teachings. Dhuhr provides essential balance to our day, reminding us to reconnect with Allah amidst our busiest hours. It breaks the momentum of worldly tasks and recenters our hearts on our true purpose.

Question 4

Can I make up Dhuhr if I miss it or forget to pray on time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, making up a missed Dhuhr prayer is an obligation. If you miss it unintentionally due to a valid reason like sleeping or forgetting, the Prophet's ﷺ teaching is a mercy from Allah: you must pray it as soon as you remember. However, if a prayer was missed intentionally in the past, this is considered a major sin that requires sincere repentance (Tawbah) to Allah. Along with repenting, the overwhelming majority of scholars affirm that you must also make up the missed prayer. The most important thing is not to let a mistake lead to despair. Turn back to Allah, perform the prayer you missed, and make a firm commitment to guard your prayers on time in the future, as Allah loves those who repent and return to Him.
