salaah

Dikhaawe ki namaaz parhna

Q: Mai ye puchna chahti hun ke mujhe ihtilaam hua aur waqt kam hone ki wajah se ghusl nhi kia aur namaz parhne ki jhonti acting ki kyunki mai mai apni maa ko sharam aur haya ki wajah se bataa nhi sakti thi lekin mere dil mein dikhaawe ki namaz parhne ka koi iraada nhi tha bass sharam ki wajah se bataa nhi paayi meri maa mujh se sawaal karti. Toh kya maine shirk kia hai? Agar haan toh kya iski taubha ki ja sakti hai.

Ending one's Salaah before the imaam

Q: When I was in my prayer (I was waiting for the Imaam to end the prayer with salaam) in congregation,

1. I needed to use the washroom urgently. In that condition, is it permissible to end the prayer by myself and go to the washroom, or is it not permissible?

2. My stomach was well. If my stomach had been upset, would it be permissible to end salaah before the Imaam (the same act which is asked in Question 1)?

Reciting a surah or aayaat equivalent to a surah in Salaah

Q: I believe that in a book I read titled, Laws of salah, written by Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qadari Razavi (Dawat-e-Islami) it said on the hundred and fifth page these following words:-

'After you finish surah Fatihah, utter amin in a low volume and then recite either three short ayahs or one long ayah that is equivalent to three short ayahs or any surah such as surah Ikhlas.'

I had a query based on the last line of this paragraph. When it quotes, 'or any surah,' do you think that this is implying that after surah Fatihah has been recited you can recite another surah, or is it suggesting that after surah fatihah you can recite an ayah that is equivalent to another surah, or do you think that it can be referring to both?
