آنکھیں بند کر کے نماز پڑھنا
Namaz ke dauran aankhein band karna gunah nahi hai. Sunnat yeh hai ke nazar sajdagah par ho, lekin yeh sunnat ka tareeqa hai, koi farz ya lazmi shart nahi. Nabi ﷺ ka amal humein behtareen tareeqa sikhata hai, lekin har shakhs ka focus aur psychological state mukhtalif hota hai. Agar kisi ko aankhein khuli rakh kar zyada distraction hoti hai aur aankhein band karne se khushu‘ aur tawajjuh barhti hai, to is mein koi shar‘i qabahat nahi. Ahadees se yeh zaroor maloom hota hai ke Nabi ﷺ aam tor par aankhein khuli rakhte the, lekin kahin bhi yeh nahi kaha gaya ke aankhein band karna mana hai ya namaz ko nuqsan pohnchata hai. Hazrat Aishaؓ wali riwayat se bhi yeh wazeh hota hai ke andheray mein namaz parhi gayi, jahan dekhna mumkin hi nahi tha — aur namaz bilkul durust thi. Is se yeh baat samajh aati hai ke asal cheez dil ki hazri, khushu‘ aur tawajjuh hai, na ke aankhon ki ek fixed position. Is liye behtareen usool yeh hai ke jo cheez aapko namaz mein Allah ki taraf zyada mutawajjuh karti ho, bina is ko farz ya sunnat ka darja diye, us par amal kiya jaye. Namaz ka maqsad zahiri form se zyada andarooni rabt aur submission hai.
