Reward multiplication based on quality

“We know that in certain months or times, the reward for worship or action is multiplied many times, like in Ramadan the reward for prayer becomes seventy times more. I feel that the increase in reward depends on the quality of one's worship or action. It is not that whoever prays in Ramadan gets seventy times more reward, but rather the reward is according to the quality of one's worship. Please clarify this.”Asked by شاہنواز ظفر, دلی

maulana, yeh sawal aaya hai dilli se Shahnawaz Zafar sahib ka, aur unhone likha hai ke hum jante hain ke kuch khaas mahine ya kuch khaas auqat mein kisi ibadat ya kisi amal ka sawab kai guna badha diya jata hai, jaisa ke Ramzan mein namaz ka sawab satar guna zyada ho jata hai. mujhe aisa lagta hai ke sawab ka zyada hona insaan ki ibadat ya amal ki کیفیت ke upar hai. aisa nahi hai ke Ramzan mein jo bhi namaz padhe, use satar guna zyada sawab mila, balkeh jis ki کیفیت jaisi rahi, use waisa sawab mila. meherbani kar ke is ki wazahat karen. dekhiye, yeh mamla aisa hai ke is par bohat likh chuke hain apni kitabon mein, aur sawab ka taluq kisi waqt se nahi hai, کیفیت se hai.

aap hamari kitab Ramzan par aik kitab hai, Haj par aik kitab hai, is ko aap padhiye. jab bohat detail ke sath hum ne yeh baat kahi hai, aur us ko hum ne disply kiya hai, is is is rawayati tasawwur ko ke kisi waqt se juda hua hai, bara sawab, bara sawab, bari bari کیفیت par hota hai, bara sawab bari کیفیت mein hota hai, na ke kisi waqt par. is par hum tafseel se likh chuke hain, aap us ko padhiye.
