Answer:

Offer prayer in sequence

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 none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

The scholars and jurists are of the opinion that one must strive their utmost to offer their prayers in the order which they are prescribed. Thus if for some genuine reason one has missed say one’s ‘dhuhr’ and ‘asr’ prayers, and the ‘magrib’ prayer time is due….then one should keep the order of prayer, and offer the ‘qada’ prayers for ‘dhuhr’ first, then the ‘qada’ ‘asr’ prayers, and only then offer the ‘magrib’ prayers.

Your Question: ….My question is, pls let me know if I Missed  my Magrib Salaat in travling or for what ever reason & after reaching home Isha salaat Jamat is going on what i have to do

If perchance one has missed their ‘magrib’ prayers, and ‘Isha’ time is due, and one is offering the prayers in an individual capacity….then one must keep the sequence of prayer and offer the ‘magrib’ prayer first and then offer the ‘isha’ prayers.

But if one has missed the ‘magrib’ prayers, and happens to attend a group of believers who are offering their ‘isha’ prayers in congregation….the scholars and jurists in Islam are of the opinion that the person should join the congregation and offer the ‘isha’ prayers in congregation with them, and then offer their missed ‘magrib’ prayer after.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
