In the Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful.
Perpetual Time Table for Prayers & Fasting for
Toronto and Southern Ontario.
The pronounciation of the SURAS and other recitations
during the prayers must be the correct pronounciation in accordance
with the Arabic language and its rules and must be letter perfect;
so if even a letter is substituted for another letter then that
word is void (BATEL) and if not repeated correctly, the prayer
also becomes void. The recitation of the SURAS must also be correct
and if one were to intentionally recite them with emphasis where
there is no emphasis or add a letter or movement, one has made
a mistake and one's prayer is invalidated. It is an obligatory
precaution to avoid joining two verses together without pronouncing
the vowel carried by the last letter of the first verse (WASL
BI-S-SUKUN) or pronouncing the last vowel and then pausing (WAQF
BI-L-HARAKA). If there is doubt about correct pronunciation as
long as one has not passed the place, but once the place has been
passed the doubt should be ignored. If the pronunciation has been
assumed to have been correct at the time of reciting but later
is it found to have been incorrect, the prayer should be repeated.
(All the MARAAJE-E-TAQLEED are in agreement with
the above)

Important Note: Since there is a difference of opinion
among the experts on the fajr times, it is strongly recommended
that: (1) You add 12 to 15 minutes to the fajr time because saying
the salaat before its proper time will make the salaat batil.
(2) You may start fasting by the imsac time given in the time-table
because abstaining from muftirat even before the fajr time does
not harm your fasting.
- Sayyid Muhammad Rizvi - October 1996
The Islamic Shia Ithna-Asheri Jamaat of Toronto conveys its gratitude
to Hujjatul Islam Wal Muslimin Aga Haj Shaikh Abbas Mesbahzadeh
for compiling this prayer time-table and Sayyid Muhammad Rizvi
for updating it.
