Answer 5

yes, once I was at the masjid, and the sister next to me farted, it was funny :p

Answer 6

i remembered one answer of a question and i laughed, then i repeat my prayers!!

if you know Sui and Faraz, their answers made me laugh in salat!!

Answer 7

Yes my lil cousin bruva he made me laugh once when he sat on my back while sajdah...i couldn't move until my aunt got him off. Lol

Answer 8

Oh my God that always happens with me! Or I always make someone laugh!

But it's always because of me that I have to laugh. Me making funny throat noises by mistake or my stomach growling...lol.

I have this really stupid habit of twisting words when I'm saying them. So like I was talking to my brother and my sister was praying and I was twisting my words and well my sister couldn't stop laughing so she had to repeat her prayer.

You've got to repeat it because it's a really serious thing. You're standing in front of Allah and you're in the middle of worshipping Him. You can't just start laughing lol, although everyone does. Can you imagine that? Alla's watching you pray and you're laughing. Astaghfurallah...lol

Answer 9

Yeah, in Taraweeh (Prayer) when some old man standing next to me let one go (f**t) during Sajdah ... I couldn't help myself.

They should leave the Pakoras and stuff till after Taraweeh.

Answer 10

no, its just like having a normal conversation with a person, its relaxed, and the way u want it to be

Answer 11

Astighfirullah, no.

lol

Answer 12

oh my god...its awful. ive done it quite a few times. my brother has a nasty habit of making hilarious voices and i often cant control myself and start smiling or get side tracked. a few times, iv begun laughing hard and had to restart (after destroying my brother ahahah)

oh and one time, i was doing namaz facing away from the door, and someone opened the door and without realising i was there, they sprayed air freshener and that scared the c**p out of me and i jumped so bad and was in hysterics. ahh...hopefully allah forgave me =D

OH and one more time, one of the auntys had brought her silly little toddler while we were praying in a group and he was making fun of the adhaan (obv..as a baby he was just copying) and he would stand on the prayer mat looking up at you so you couldnt go down for sajdah or when u were in sajdah hed get on your back and he would do it to many other people and everyone couldnt help but laugh so hard.

ahaha. funny memories!!

Answer 13

we used to laugh when i was younger when i am praying with my friends.

you should do it again

Answer 14

yes i have..

and yes i had to restart my prayer..

but it's ok if u just smiled with no voice..

always love & peace..

Answer 15

Well no, i guess, well i was smiling and trying really hard not to laugh

lol

but you'll have to redo your prayer again if you did

Answer 16

Repeat your Salaah Insha'Allah  

Answer 17

Yes, I just did it today. It was more of a smile though. Then, I stopped. I usually am strong, and can hold my laugh in salat, but today, I was praying, and my little baby cousin tried to do the same thing as me. I was still holding my laugh. Then, he came right infront of me. And my other cousin started laughing, which sort of made me smile, but I don't think I laughed.

I don't know if you should pray again or not. You should ask an imam about this.

Your sister,

Jee Jee

=)

Answer 18

Yea, back back then.. I was young..

Answer 19

I couldn't stop laughing at church I don't know if that counts.

Answer 20

Yeah you would've had to start again. It happens every once in awhile and even if you try really hard not to it still happens. I know how you feel.

Answer 21

Guess what?? God has a sense of humor,I talk to him just like I talk to anyone else..( except for the swearing). He really really does have a sense of humor

Answer 22

yes -astghfurallah- and yes i had to pray again every time i laugh during a prayer

Answer 23

Laughing during salat breaks your wudu. Re wash and pray again.
