Question 1

How can I pray Dhuhr during a busy workday without feeling rushed?

Accepted Answer

The beauty of Dhuhr is that it doesn’t take long—just a few minutes of real connection. Try scheduling it like any important meeting or reminder in your phone. If you can’t find a prayer room, look for a quiet corner, even your car. What matters is intention. When you make that small effort in Petare, Allah makes it easy and blesses your time more than you’d expect.

Question 2

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.

Question 3

What’s the benefit of praying Dhuhr in congregation or at the mosque?

Accepted Answer

Praying Dhuhr in congregation multiplies your reward by twenty-seven times compared to praying alone. It’s also a beautiful way to reconnect with community in the middle of a busy day. Even if it’s just a few coworkers or friends in Petare, standing shoulder to shoulder builds unity and purpose. The shared silence of prayer brings a peace that lingers far beyond the masjid walls.

Question 4

How long does Dhuhr prayer usually take?

Accepted Answer

Dhuhr typically takes about 5–10 minutes, depending on your pace and level of focus. It’s four rak‘ahs, plus any Sunnah prayers you’d like to add before or after. Even in a packed schedule, that’s a short investment for a huge return in peace and clarity. A quick, sincere prayer is better than a long one delayed or missed.
