Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;font-size: 14pt\">To avoid mistakes and confusion, it is always better and safe to recite the verses you are sure about and you have memorized well. If your mistake is with the recitation of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.qurantranslations.net\/translation-of-the-quran-in-english-recitation-by-sheikh-abdul-basit-abdul-samad\/?file=1#player\"><em>Fatihah,<\/em><\/a> you have to repeat the <em>raka`h<\/em> (part of the prayer), since Prayer is not valid without reciting Surah\u00a0 <em>Al-Fatihah<\/em> (the Opening Chapter of the Qur&#8217;an).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;font-size: 14pt\">Surahs other than <em>Al-F<\/em><em>atihah<\/em> are cosidered an act of sunnah and even if you make mistakes in them, your prayer is still valid. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;font-size: 14pt\">To get more information about such ruling, watch this short talk with Sheikh Waleed Bayouni.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;font-size: 14pt\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"width: 0px;overflow: hidden;line-height: 0\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/p>\n<p>_______________________________________<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: Faithiq youtube channel.\u00a0<\/em><a href='https:\/\/prayerinislam.com\/what-should-i-do-if-i-forgot-verses-or-made-mistakes-in-my-prayer\/' target='_blank'>Soucre Link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What should I do if I forget verses or make mistakes in my prayer?
