witr salah, do i just stand or do i read something?

Q: Assalamu alaikum,

Here in our Masjid we do not make Dua Qunoot out loud in witr prayer after taraweeh. What are you required to do or say after the Imaam says Allahu Akbar and everyone folds their hands and stands silently. Do you simply make your own dua in any language? Why is that time period so short? In Haram people raise their hands for dua, here it is folded, why? Jazakallahu khair!

Q: Do I say amen loud in dua e qunoot? (text)

Q: Imaam I always read witr salah two rakats and one rakat. I have researched the matter and sense without prejudice shows me that both ways are correct. Also our Imam who is arab acknowledges that both methods are correct. I am still confused because he says both ways are correct but never fixers a dua when I know that the three rakat str8 method has a fixing of a dua. Do I just still  pray my own dua? What do I do? Also what is your opinion  as to the both ways. Any you give preference to? (email)

Dawwod (AS) and Sulayman (AS). They had everything that needed to be had, yet they never forgot Allah (SWT), Jinn work/possession is nothing compared to faith in the One and belief in the Books of the One.

tahiyatul masjid and jummah salah

Q: Dear Brother or Sister

As’Salam-u-Alikum,

I have a question regarding Tahiyatul Masjid. I have learned that when Juma Khutba has started one must pay full attention to the Khutba, because Khutba is part of Juma Salat.

I was told recently that if Khutba has started when one enters the mosque, that person can do his/her Tahiyatul Masjid.

Is this statement correct?
Is there a Hadith that relates to Tahiyatul Masjid during Khutba?

I would appreciate your feedback with authentic refferences and narrations.

Best Regards,
xxxx
