Namaaz In Urdu
Reasons for performing Namaaz in one’s own language. (It could be wrong. It needs clarification) 7. A saying of Ibn Abbas (Raz) is narrated in Ibn Tamiyah ‘s book Majmoo al Fatawa that “You will only get that part of your salah that you have performed with understanding”. And if this is right then the majority of muslims are not understanding their Salah because it is in Arabic. And we are never told that understanding is very much important. Rather we think that there’s nothing wrong in not understanding our prayer.
bi-smi llāhi r-raḥmāni r-raḥīm what about this? this is a hadith of Sahih Muslim : 822a Abu Wa’il reported that a person named Nabik b. Sinan came to Abdullah (b. Mas’ud) and said: Abu ‘Abd al-Rahman, how do you recite this word (alif) or (ya)? Would you read It as: min ma’in ghaira asin or au min ma’in ghaira ghaira yasin. (al-Qur’an, xlvii. 15)? ‘Abdullah said: You (seem to) have memorised the whole of the Qur’an except this. He (again) said: I recite all the mufassal surahs in one rak’ah. Upon this ‘Abdullah said: (You must have been reciting It) hastily like the recitation of poetry. Verily. there are people who recite the Qur’an, but it does not go down beyond their collar bones. It is (a fact with the Qur’an) that it is beneficial only when it settles in the heart and is rooted deeply in it. The best of (the acts) in prayer are bowing and prostration. I am quite aware of the occasions when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) combined together two surahs in every rak’ah. ‘Abdullah then stood up and went out with ‘Alqama following in his footstep. He said Ibn Numair had told him that the narration was like that:” A person belonging to Banu Bajila came to ‘Abdullah,” and he did not mention (the name of) Nahik b. Sinan. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So from Above hadith i have found one thing That : The best of (the acts) in prayer are bowing and prostration. now all other things are secondary right? so for secondary things in prayer we have been Ordered by Prophet (peace be upon him) to pray as we have seen him according to this hadith of Al-Adab Al-Mufrad : 213 ( this Hadith is Sahih graded by Al-Albani.) The Prophet (ﷺ) said, Pray as you have seen me praying. When it is time for the prayer, then let one of you give the adhan and let the oldest of you lead the payer. so until now all this talk is about Acts ; about how to do prayer how to stand up and how to bow down. ~~~~~~~~~~~ let’s have a look on the Question : Do ‘reading Quran in Prophet’s way’ is Act? Answer is NO read that hadith of Sahih Muslim that i quoted above which says : Verily. there are people who recite the Qur’an, but it does not go down beyond their collar bones. It is (a fact with the Qur’an) that it is beneficial only when it settles in the heart and is rooted deeply in it. let’s compare this to one other hadith. “Umar came near the Black Stone and kissed it and said “No doubt, I know that you are a stone and can neither benefit anyone nor harm anyone. Had I not seen Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) kissing you I would not have kissed you.” – Sahih al-Bukhari : 1597 so From here. near me : the central point of prayer Is bowing and prostration in a way that prophet bowed and did prayer. the secondary point is to recite the Quran in a way which would be most beneficial to me and that way can only be sensed by my heart through reciting in my language at the level that can reach at this level ↣ ‘ only when Quran settles in the heart and is rooted deeply in it.’ 3. this point is most important one, due to the fact that Prophet ( peace be upon him) was Arabic and Allāh ﷻ revealed the Quran in his language so that he can preach near Makka & u know it is only reason why Quran is in Arabic because Allāh ﷻ cared about Prophet ﷺ so that he can preach Quran easily and can do Itmam al-Hujjah on Arabs, read : وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ قُرْءَانًا عَرَبِيًّۭا لِّتُنذِرَ أُمَّ ٱلْقُرَىٰ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهَا وَتُنذِرَ يَوْمَ ٱلْجَمْعِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ ۚ فَرِيقٌۭ فِى ٱلْجَنَّةِ وَفَرِيقٌۭ فِى ٱلسَّعِيرِ ۝ And thus We have revealed to you an Arabic Qur’an that you may warn the Mother of Cities [Makkah] and those around it and warn of the Day of Assembly, about which there is no doubt. A party will be in Paradise and a party in the Blaze. – Quran 42:7 yeah so i was on the point that Prophet ﷺ was an Arab and Thus Quran is revealed for him in Arabic. i would like to Learn Quran in Arabic and also like to learn arabic just like why Umar (رضي الله عنه) kissed the Stone because of love of Prophet ﷺ that he Kissed that Black Stone and Stones usually have no benefit and like wise in Hadith of Sahih-Muslim it is described that It is (a fact with the Qur’an) that it is beneficial only when it settles in the heart and is rooted deeply in it. so at last the point while reading Quran must be that it Root Deep in heart. if it deeply affect your heart in Arabic while you know some Arabic it is ok, and if it deep root u in your language it must be done in that way. while the best act is to bow down before lord of Worlds and that is great feeling to submit ourself to Creator to all Knowing of universe 🙂 🙂 Salam. May Allāh ﷻ guide us all and let me know if i am wrong anywhere. Salam. and lots of Dua for Ghamidi Sahab
