maulana, agla sawal kya hai Mahtab Sahab ne Dhampur se. unhon ne aap se poocha hai ke "What is the literal meaning of word namaz?" is ke baare mein bataein. namaz to farsi lafz hai, asal to salat hai, yani salat par ghaur kar lein to hum samajh sakte hain ke namaz kya cheez hai.

namaz, roza, yeh sab farsi alfaaz hain. to main samajhta hoon ke aap ko namaz ko salat ke hawaale se ghaur karna chahiye, na ke namaz ke hawaale se. yeh to istemaal ke liye hai.

namaz arab log salat kehte hain, namaz nahi kehte. to agar samajhna hai ke is ko gehrai ke sath, to hamein is ko salat ke hawale se samajhna chahiye. ji, maulana, agla sawal doctor fazal kairal sahib ne kiya hai dilli se, aur unhon ne likha hai
