Meaning of physical actions in prayer

Maulana, agla sawal kya hai Yoginder Singh ji ne Bangalore se, aur unhone likha hai: "Maulana sahib, there are many physical actions and utterances during performing namaz. What is the meaning and significance of the various aspects of namaz? Kindly enlighten me in this regard." Haan, yeh bohat bohat hi relevant question hai.

Dekhein, namaz ka ek form hai, form, aur ek hai uski spirit. To form jo hai, woh uska external expression hai, aur uska jo internal spirit hai, woh hai khushu. Woh hai khushu. To namaz ko dekha jayega khushu ke aitbaar se.

External jo expression hai, usmein farq ho sakta hai, lekin spirit mein farq nahi hona chahiye. Khushu zaroor hona chahiye. Isko main ek hadith se bataunga ke Rasool Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Masjid-e-Nabwi mein bethe hue the, to ek shakhs aaya, usne wahan namaz padhi.

To namaz padh kar ke Rasool Allah ke paas aaya, woh aur salam kiya, wahi bethna chaha aap ke paas. To aap ne kaha ke "Arji'i fa salli, fa innaka lam tushalli" bajaye apne bithane ke, bithaya nahi, kaha ke "Arji'i fa salli, fa innaka lam tushalli" ke jao phir se namaz padho kyunke tumne namaz nahi padhi. Woh bahar mo'tabar kutub-e-hadith maujood hain.

To cheez kya hai? Rasool Allah ne isko watch kiya to dekha ke woh khushu ke aitbaar se null tha, woh bas form ke aitbaar se namaz padh li thi usne. To aap ne kaha ke jao phir se namaz padho kyunke tumne namaz nahi padhi. "Arji'i fa salli, fa innaka lam tushalli" yeh Tirmidhi mein hai, yeh hadith Sunan Tirmidhi mein maujood hai.

To namaz mein aur doosri baat to hum bhi ek iska form hota hai, ek uski spirit hoti hai. To asal cheez jo matloob hai, spirit hai. Spirit ho to woh us form ki value hai, spirit na ho to us form ki koi value nahi hai.

yeh aur bhi hadithain hain jis se yeh cheez saabit hoti hai. mislan aik hadith hai: "la salat liman lam yatkhashsha". la salat liman lam yatkhashsha. jis ki namaz mein khushu na ho, us ki namaz namaz na hai.

is shakhs ki namaz namaz nahi jis ki namaz mein khushu na ho, yani spirit na ho. jo form wali baatein hain, jo uska physical expression hai, uski hesiyat is waqt hai jab ke spirit maujood ho. spirit agar maujood na ho to uski koi hesiyat nahi hogi Allah ke nazdeek.

lekin yeh bhi samajh lijiye ke hum aap yeh faisla nahi kar sakte ke spirit hai ke nahi. hum to aap form hi ko dekhenge. rasool Allah ko khabar ho gayi thi ke iske andar spirit nahi hai, to aap ne farmaya: "hum aap nahi keh sakte aisa", yani hum aap nahi keh sakte ke "arj fasal fundak lam tusalli"

kyun ke hamein andar ke haal nahi maloom hain. aik ba taur usool mein yeh kahunga, ba taur usool baqi jo baat hai, woh to aakhirat mein khule gi jab Allah taala ailaan farmayen ge ke kis ki namaz namaz thi, kis ki namaz namaz nahi thi. maulana, agla sawal abdulrehman sahib ne kiya hai azam garh se, aur unhone likha hai: "maulana sahib,
