Combining Maghrib Prayer and Isha Prayer | Method of Performing Obligatory Prayers You Should Understand Today

Combining Maghrib Prayer and Isha Prayer

Hi! Are you looking for an explanation of combining Maghrib prayer and Isha prayer? If your answer is “Yes”, congratulations! Now you are reading the right article. Why? Because that’s what I’m going to explain in this article. This discussion is very important for Muslims who are traveling or have activities that can be justified by Islam, so they cannot pray as usual. So, you must read this article to the end.

Specifically, there are some important things about combining Maghrib prayer and Isha prayer which I will explain in this article. Some of the important things I mean are as follows:

Combining Maghrib Prayer and Isha Prayer with Jama Taqdeem

In the previous article I have explained about Jama Taqdeem. I highly recommend you to read the article. Why is that? The answer is because Jama Taqdeem is one way to combine the obligatory prayers.

I have explained in the article about Jama Taqdeem, that Jama Taqdeem is to perform the two obligatory prayers at the beginning of time. So, if you want to combine Maghrib and Isha with Jama Taqdeem, then you have to do it at the time of Maghrib prayer.

There is one important thing about the combination of the two obligatory prayers in Islam with Jama Taqdeem, that it can be done in two ways: regular Jama Taqdem and Jama Taqdeem Qasr. I will explain that in the discussion below.

Combining Maghrib Prayer and Isha Prayer with regular Jama Taqdeem

What is meant by combining Maghrib prayer and Isha prayer with the usual Jama Taqdeem is to perform the Mahrib and Isha prayers at Maghrib time. This is done without reducing the number of rakats. So, if you want to do that, then you have to do Maghrib with three rakats and Isha with four rakats.

The niyyat for combining Maghrib prayer and Isha prayer with Jama Taqdeem is as follows:

أُصَلِّى فَرْضَ الْمَغْرِبِ ثَلَاثَ رَكَعَاتٍ مَجْمُوْعًا بِالْعِشَاءِ جَمْعَ تَقْدِيْمٍ لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى

I intend to perform the fardhu prayer, Maghrib, three rak’ahs, combined with Isha, performed in Jama Taqdeem, because of Allah Taala.

After that you should immediately do Isha:

أُصَلِّى فَرْضَ الْعِشَاءِ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ مَجْمُوْعًا بِالْمَغْرِبِ جَمْعَ تَقْدِيْمٍ لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى

I intend to perform the fardhu prayer, Isha, four rak’ahs, with the Maghrib, performed in Jama Taqdeem, for Allah Ta’ala

Combining Maghrib Prayer and Isha Prayer with Jama Taqdeem Qasr

What is meant by combining Maghrib prayer and Isha prayer with Jama Taqdeem Qasr is to perform Maghrib and Isha prayers at Maghrib time and reduce the number of rakat in Isha. So, if you want to do that, then you have to do Maghrib with three rakats and Isha with two rakats.

One of the important things about combining Maghrib prayer and Isha prayer with Jama Taqdeem Qasr that you must understand is that the rakat in Maghrib cannot be reduced, while the rakat in Isha can be reduced. The point is that you have to do Maghrib with three rakats as usual and you have to do Isha with two rakats. That is what is meant by the Qasr prayer. The Qasr prayer is a variation of the Jama prayer (Jama Taqdeem and Jama Takheer).

The niyyat for combining Maghrib prayer and Isha prayer with Jama Taqdeem Qasr is as follows:

أُصَلِّى فَرْضَ الْمَغْرِبِ ثَلَاثَ رَكَعَاتٍ مَجْمُوْعًا بِالْعِشَاءِ جَمْعَ تَقْدِيْمٍ لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى

I intend to perform obligatory prayer, Maghrib, three rak’ah, with the honor of Isha, performed in Jama Taqdeem Qasr, for Allah Ta’ala.

After that you should immediately do Isha:

أُصَلِّى فَرْضَ الْعِشَاءِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ مَجْمُوْعًا بِالْمَغْرِبِ جَمْعَ تَقْدِيْمٍ قَصْراً لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى

I intend to perform the fardhu prayer, Isha, two rak’ahs, with Maghrib performed in Jama Taqdeem Qasr, for Allah Ta’ala

Combining Maghrib Prayer and Isha Prayer with Jama Takheer

In the previous articles I have explained about Jama Takheer. I highly recommend you to read the article. Why is that? The answer is because Jama Takheer is one way for the obligatory prayer combination.

I already explained in the article about Jama Takheer, that Jama Takheer is performing two obligatory prayers at the end of time. So, if you want to combine Maghrib and Isha with Jama Takheer, then you have to do that on Isha time.

There is one important thing about combining the two obligatory prayers in Islam with Jama Takheer, that it can be done in two ways: regular Jama Takheer and Jama Takheer Qasr. I will explain that in the discussion below.

Combining Maghrib Prayer and Isha Prayer with regular Jama Takheer

What is meant by combining Maghrib prayer and Isha prayer with the usual Jama Takheer is to perform the Mahrib and Isha prayers at the time of Isha. This is done without reducing the number of rakats. So, if you want to do that, then you have to do Maghrib with three rakats and Isha with four rakats.

The niyyat for combining Maghrib prayer and Isha prayer with Jama Takheer is as follows:

أُصَلِّى فَرْضَ الْمَغْرِبِ ثَلَاثَ رَكَعَاتٍ مَجْمُوْعًا بِالْعِشَاءِ جَمْعَ تَأْخِيْرٍ لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى

I intend to perform the fardhu prayer, Maghrib, three rak’ah, with the honor of Isha, performed in Jama Takheer, for Allah Ta’ala

After that you should immediately do Isha:

أُصَلِّى فَرْضَ الْعِشَاءِ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ مَجْمُوْعًا بِالْمَغْرِبِ جَمْعَ تَأْخِيْرٍ لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى

I intend to perform the fardhu prayers, Isha, four rak’ahs, with Maghrib, performed in Jama Takheer, because of Allah Ta’ala.

Combining Maghrib Prayer and Isha Prayer with Jama Takheer Qasr

What is meant by combining Maghrib prayer and Isha prayer with the usual Jama Takheer is to perform the Mahrib and Isha prayers at the time of Isha. This is done by reducing the number of rakats. So, if you want to do that, then you have to do Maghrib with three rakats and Isha with two rakats.

The niyyat for combining Maghrib prayer and Isha prayer with Jama Takheer is as follows:

أُصَلِّى فَرْضَ الْمَغْرِبِ ثَلَاثَ رَكَعَاتٍ مَجْمُوْعًا بِالْعِشَاءِ جَمْعَ تَأْخِيْرٍ لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى

I intend to perform the fardhu prayer, Maghrib, three rak’ah, with the honor of Isha, performed in Jama Taqdeem Qasr, for Allah Ta’ala.

After that you should immediately do Isha:

أُصَلِّى فَرْضَ الْعِشَاءِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ مَجْمُوْعًا بِالْمَغْرِبِ جَمْعَ تَأْخِيْرٍ قَصْراً لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى

I intend to perform the fardhu prayer, Isha, two rak’ahs, with Maghrib performed in Jama Taqdeem Qasr, for Allah Ta’ala.
