Question:
Meded Ya Rasoolullah, Meded Ya Grandsheikh, Meded Ya Sayidi, Meded Ya Sheikh Nazim!!
Assalamu Aleykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu. When I pray, do Dhikr or recite the Qur’an, I regularly yawn a great deal. I try and fight it but without success. Can you give me some advice please as it interferes with my worshipping?
Jazakallah Khair
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Yawning during worship is from shaytan. Cover your mouth and try to focus harder.
The Prophet of Allah (s)said, “Yawning in prayer is an act of Shaytan, so when one of you yawns he should restrain it as much as possible.” In another version it the word are: “He should place his hand upon his mouth.” (Tirmidhi)
