If you realize during prayer that you mispronounced a word, then you simply repeat the word or phrase correctly and continue your prayer. If you are not aware of any mistake, then you should not worry because this can lead to waswasa (baseless intrusive doubts).\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fef0b76658b4c232985","tag":"Salah: Validity","count":156},{"_id":"668d9fef0b76658b4c232988","tag":"Quran: Other","count":56},{"_id":"668da03a0b76658b4c233193","tag":"Knowledge: Arabic","count":15}],"createdOn":"2025-11-20T15:26:20.536Z"}
