The Answer

Dear Brother / Sister,

People should keep quiet both physically and orally in prayers in congregation. It is permissible to think about the meanings of ayahs (verses) while the imam reads aloud or silently.

In addition, if a person says prayers aloud or silently when the the imam reads aloud or silently, his prayer becomes invalid. However, if he just thinks about it, the prayer is valid.
