IMPORTANCE OF TELLING "AMEEN"

IMPORTANCE OF TELLING "AMEEN"

It is sunnah to say ameen when a person finishes recitation of Surah Fatihah If he is praying alone he should say Ameen in silence and if he is praying with congregation behind an imam then he should say ameen fairly loudly when the Imam finishes saying the last verse of surah Fatihah wen saying Ameen the voice of the whole congregation should resound at the same time

there are many hadiths which prove that saying ameen aloud is Sunnah of the holy prophet (S A W) and it was the regular practice of the companions .we will mention a few hadiths here

1) NAEEM AL MUJAMMAR SAID: "I PRAYED BEHIND ABU HURAIRA (R.A) HE RECITED BISMILLAH HIR RAHMANI RAHEEM THEN HE RECITED SURAH FATIHAH AND WHEN HE REACHED WALAD ALEEN HE SAID AMEEN AFTER IT AND THE PEOPLE BEHIND HIM SAID AMEEN,,,,,,," (BUKHARI)

2)ABU HURAIRA (R.A)REPORTED THAT THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH (S A W) SAID "WHEN THE IMAM SAYS GHAYIRIL MAGHLLUBI ALAYHIM WALALLA LEEN YOU SHOULD SAY" AMEEN" BECAUSE THE ANGELS SAY AMEEN AND THE IMAM SAYS AMEEN .AND WHOSOEVER SAYS AMEEN AND HIS VOICE BLENDS WITH THAT OF THE ANGELS HE WOULD BE FORGIVEN HIS SINS."

C)AISHA (R.A) REPORTED THAT THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH (S A W)SAID"JEWS ARE MORE ENVIOUS OF MUSLIMS IN TWO THINGS

A)OUR GREETING SOMEONE WITH ASSALAMU ALAIKKUM AND

B)SAYING AMEEN (ALOUD) BEHIND THE IMAM"

3)ATA SAID : "I FOUND 200' OF THE COMPANION PRAYING IN THE MOSQUE OF THE PROPHET (S A W) AND WHEN THE IMAM SAID WALAD ALEEN I HEARD THE ECHO OF THEIR VOICES RESOUND WITH AMEEN"
