Assalamu Alaikum
Brother Burhan,
May Allah reward you and all responsible for making this forum a useful one.
My question is : They say that if we perform 4 rakahs after luhr saying Ayuthul
Kursi 7 times and SurahKausar 15 times in every rakah on the last friday on the
month of Ramadan(its called umre kala prayers) and if those prayers are
accepted by Allah its like we have made up for our missed prayers throught
these years and that those sins will be forgiven.Is there any hadith or Quranic
verse relating to this? I would be grateful if you colud answer it as soon as
possible.
Thank You
Ur well wisher in Islam

Answer:
Last Friday in Ramadhan
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is no one (no idol, no person, no
grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
There is absolutely no evidence in the Quran or Sunnah
regarding the so called ‘umre-kala’ prayers!
No man who ever walked on this planet earth worshipped and feared Allah
Subhanah more than the person of the Noble Messenger of Allah (saws); and he (saws) never offered these
prayers!
There is absolutely no special prayers on the last Friday
of Ramdan, and the believers who
sincerely believe in Allah and the Last Day, must abstain from doing anything
in the worship of Allah Subhanah which was not done or approved by the
Messenger of Allah (saws).
And when these ‘special’ prayers are not done or approved
by the Messenger of Allah (saws); then
it has to be the invention and innovation of some man who has absolutely no authority
from Allah Subhanah; and all such
innovations must be rejected by the believers.
It has been reported in an authentic
narration that the Prophet of Allah (saws) said: “Whoever introduces a ‘bida’ (innovation) in this deen brought by
me (saws), it will be rejected.”
Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 4515 Narrated by Ali ibn AbuTalib
That the Prophet of Allah (saws) said: “If
anyone introduces an innovation (in religion),
he will be responsible for it.
If anyone introduces an innovation or gives shelter to a man who
introduces an innovation (in religion),
he is cursed by Allah, by His
angels, and by all the people.”
Sahih Muslim Hadith 1885 Narrated by Jabir ibn Abdullah
That the Prophet of Allah (saws) said in a
sermon: “The best speech is that which
is embodied in the Book of Allah, the Al Quran; and the best guidance is the guidance given by me, Mohamed
(saws). The most evil affairs are the
innovations, and every innovation is an
error.”
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your Brother in Islam,
Burhan
