I need to know your opinion, I usually pray salatul aisha and fajr with long suras, but I cannot recite them without closing my eyes, when I open my eyes I do not remember them. Do you have any idea what should I do?
I have always been educated by Believing Sisters to keep my eyes open during salat. I do not have an explanation or source. It was passed on as mothers' wit ( that which we learn from family and culture..that which is passed down as truth). That which is so elementary that we do not question; it is understood.
If you can't concentrate and get too distracted, then it is allowed for you to close your eyes but obviously open your eyes when going ruku and sujood.
Esselamu alejkum to all of you
Thank you all of you for your advices I have tried many times to recite with open eyes long suras but I couldn't do it. However I will try again. May ALL-LLAH swt reward all of you for your posts.
Wesselamu alejkum we rahmetull-llah
