Namaaz In Urdu
Reasons for performing Namaaz in one’s own language. (It could be wrong. It needs clarification) 4. From Ghamidi Sir I have understood that the Purification is the objective of deen. And in his book Mizan, section of Namaaz, he cited the verses of Quran and explained that the Salah is a way to attain Purification. So if you will not understand whatever you are reciting in Salah, then how will that recitation help you to purify your inner soul. Its not possible right? It’s like doing something and forgetting its objective and what is it for. And in the entire Namaaz I think the Quranic part has the maximum power of Purification. Then why is it okay to recite it and not understand it. There’s two very small video by Ghamidi sir on a similar topic that will help you understand my point more clearly. https://youtu.be/83kV4S4J5fg https://youtu.be/lawTDktXUdc
Reasons for performing Namaaz in one’s own language. (It could be wrong. It needs clarification) (Last one.) 8 . In Ashraful Hidayah Vol.: 02 page no.:34 and 35: It is mention that Farsi people told Salman Farsi (Raz) to send the translation of Surah Fatiha to be recited in Salah until they learn Arabic. He wrote the translation and shown it to Prophet Muhammad pbuh then Prophet Muhammad pbuh didn’t object on it. So when Prophet Muhammad pbuh didn’t object on Farsi recitation of Surah Fatiha then why are we restricted to Arabic only. (Well I don’t know whether this narration is Sahih or Zaeef and I don’t know how to check. So if anybody will tell me the authenticity of this, I shall be very much grateful. I am attaching the photo of the pages.)
Altamash Ali sahab the hadith in Sahih Muslim you referenced above is talking about ruku and sujood. What we recite in those acts is up to us; as long as we’re glorifying God we are free to use any language. The discussion here is regarding the mandatory recitations of the salah. In religion things are not determined by picking one thing from here, another from there, and then rationalizing them to suit our desire. Sunnah of prophet Muhammad SAW is is as clear as the Quran, and has been transmitted to us through ijma and tawatur. You can search this forum for those terms for further details. If there’s still any clarity required, please feel free to create a new discussion with an objective question in that regard.
@AhmadShoaib brother I personally think that there is no valid proof of ijmah for this issue. Because if there would be valid proof of ijmah then why would Imam Abu Hanifa disagree and had a different view. What do you think about this?
@faisalharoon sir, brother @AhmadShoaib , brother @altmash , brother @Sonnadi Please consider the second part of the question a bit important because I am one among the responsible person in an Islamic School and we have to decide something for our students. Right now our students are only memorizing the Namaaz and performing it without understanding and it is enough for most of the responsible persons and decision makers here in school.
