3. Imams that go on forever like it's a taraweeh prayer or something

4. Imams that make people stay in the seated position for a long time before ending the prayer

5. High likelihood of running into obnoxious relatives/acquittances

Hahaha I remember our masjid old Imam was a somali and loved playing with young people's head who were always in a rush, he always Read surat al baqra and al rahman and no one knew when he would stop. the amount of "ahhh" and "Uff" you hear sometimes pushed you to the limit to Giggle and you forcefully Hold it. Sometimes he would just start off from a middle of another long surat which is as bad, one busy young chap had enough and cracked it after the prayer.

Yes that is one of the waajibaats of jumaca salat, that the qutbah must be in arabic, pretty simple guidelines from what I was taught

1. Must say Alhamdulilah
2. Must Say Itaqwullah
3. Must Read one ayat
4. Must send salawat on Nabi
5 must supplicate for the believers

this must be in arabic, but you can give bayan in another language

One of the things that an Imam shouldn't do is make the Salat long. The prophet scw discouraged it because it caused people to not come to the masjid to pray at his scw time, imagine now. :|

Some of these folks care more about impressing random cyberheads rather than Allah!
i'm sure allah is very impressed with you, now please excuse yourself from the topic.

war waxaan xage laga keenay, it's like they all think they have a special relationship with allah.
