Namaaz In Urdu
Reasons for performing Namaaz in one’s own language. (It could be wrong. It needs clarification) 6. Islam is a deen of Fitrat. And our fitrat says when we are doing worship, we should understand it and we should do it with all our heart. And it shouldn’t be just like an exercise and some mere physical and oral movements. So why only recitation in Arabic is mandatory and understanding has not been given much importance.
isn’t it kinda weird to think? to collect testimony from past 40-50 years? while when Deen was at it’s young stage people believed according to that Sahih Muslim hadith. and also we have no clear prohibition to this and also that Quran clearly say that It is in Arabic because People Around Makka Spoke Arabic 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. -Sahih Muslim : 822a and while Quran also say that فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفًۭا ۚ فِطْرَتَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّتِى فَطَرَ ٱلنَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا ۚ لَا تَبْدِيلَ لِخَلْقِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلْقَيِّمُ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ۝ So be steadfast in faith in all uprightness ˹O Prophet˺—the natural Way of Allah which He has instilled in ˹all˺ people. Let there be no change in this creation of Allah. That is the Straight Way, but most people do not know. -Qur’ān 30:30 so my innocent Question is do Arabic instilled in every one’s natural Way(Fitrah)? For me answer is NO!! & if we try to think rationally than it’s true that no kid learn Arabic on it’s own means Arabic is not instilled in our genes and I’m again with that Sahih Muslim’s Hadith because The best of (the acts) in prayer are bowing and prostration. and all the people through out the land illiterate literate, rich poor or anyone living non-living anything bow down to him and ask him and praise him in their own language in which their heart find Peace by remembrance of God and the previous sentence is extract of two Quranic Ayah 1. وَٱلنَّجْمُ وَٱلشَّجَرُ يَسْجُدَانِ ۝ The stars and the trees bow down ˹in submission˺. -Qur’ān 55:6 2. أَلَا بِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ ٱلْقُلُوبُ۝ Unquestionably, it is in the remembrance of God that hearts find peace -Qur’ān 13:28 And from my experience maybe i can say that Reading only Quran without understanding it doesn’t effect heart and give peace to heart to that extent compared to reading it with understanding and feeling the Poetic sound of Arabic Quran together So, At last like how i like to kiss Black-Stone of Kaaba because Prophet kissed it. in Same way i would like to read Quran in Arabic in Prayers because Prophet Read it. but My focus would be that it must Root deep in my Heart 🙂 and at last Again. فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفًۭا ۚ فِطْرَتَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّتِى فَطَرَ ٱلنَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا ۚ لَا تَبْدِيلَ لِخَلْقِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلْقَيِّمُ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ۝ So be steadfast in faith in all uprightness ˹O Prophet˺—the natural Way of Allah which He has instilled in ˹all˺ people. Let there be no change in this creation of Allah. That is the Straight Way, but most people do not know. –Qur’ān 30:30 Salam!
