Form vs spirit in prayer?

Maulana, yeh sawal aaya hai Kashmir se Aamir Jan sahib ka. Unhone likha hai: "form of a prayer varies from one group to another. Every group claims that their form is the correct one." Maulana sahib, I have heard of you saying that it is the spirit of namaz which matters and not the form. wud it bi correct to ignore da form and concentrate on spirit only? what is your comment? dekhiye, form mein farq ka matlab yeh nahi ke poore form mein farq hai. kuchh bahut hi travel cheezon mein farq hai, juzwi cheezon mein. maslan yeh ke haath niyat baandh yahan rakhein, yeh yahan rakhein.

yeh to bilkul travel baat hai, bahut hi juzwi baat hai. to isi tarah ki kuchh cheezon hain jo bahut hi juzwi hain, un mein farq hai. yaani ke poore poore form mein farq hai. to is liye farq hai woh juzwi cheezon mein. khud sahaba ke darmiyan mein yeh farq maujood tha. aisa nahi ke baad ke logon ne is ko ejaad kar liya hai, ejaad nahi kiya hai. sirf yeh hai ke unhon ne ke unhon ne israr kiya ke yeh sahi hai, woh nahi

sahi hai. matlab yeh, yahan yahan haath baandhna sahi hai, yahan baandhna galat hai. israr mein logon ne izafa kiya hai, khud form mein nahi. yeh baat samajh lijiye aap ke sahaba jo thay, jo taqreeban do lakh ki tadad thi un ki, to rasool Allah ko dekha tha unhon ne. to baad ke zamane mein logon ne paya hai ke sahaba jab namaz parhte hain to basically to form ek hi hota hai, basically. lekin kuchh juzwi cheezon mein farq hota hai. is juzwi cheezon ko le kar ke lage behas karne lagay. halankeh hadith maujood thi ke ashabi kanzum biayham iqtadayt ijtahadt.

mere sahabi jo hain, sab ke sab sitaron ke manind hain, un mein se jis ki pairwi karoge to hidayat par raho ge. to woh is mein behas karne tha hi nahi. woh samjhe yeh bhi theek hai, woh bhi theek hai. yahan baandh lo tab bhi theek hai, yahan baandh lo tab bhi theek hai. haath uthao tab bhi theek hai, na uthao tab bhi theek hai. kuchh juzwi cheezon mein farq tha. yeh masla yeh hai ke saare form mein farq tha aur khwamkhwah ki behas chhod di. yeh to form mein farq galat nahi tha.

form mein yeh behas nikalna galat tha ke bas yahi sahi hai, woh nahi theek hai. jaise namaz mein khade hote hain to aise hi hanafi log jo hain, aise khade hote hain seedhe, aur aur jo salafi log hain, woh paon phailate hain. to yeh bhi theek hai, woh bhi theek hai. is mein kya hai? paon phailao to namaz ho gayi, na phailao to nahi hui. to chhoti chhoti baat, chhoti chhoti baaton ko logon ne is ko itna itna ahmiyat diya ke to yeh hai ghulu, extremism. to farq galat nahi hai, extremes galat hai. ghulu karna

isi liye meri kitab hai "tajdeedeen", is mein maine likha hai ke yeh bhi theek hai, woh bhi theek hai. is mein maine apni baat nahi likhi hai, matlab yeh ke jo ulama yeh kehte hain, un ko naqal kiya hai maine ke kuchh ulama thay jinhon ne israr kiya ke ek hi theek hai, doosra theek nahi hai. kuchh aur ulama thay, woh kehte hain yeh bhi theek hai, woh bhi theek hai. to wohi ulama sahi thay jinhon ne kaha ke yeh bhi theek hai, woh bhi theek hai. to jhagda is liye nahi hai ke form mein farq hai, jhagda is liye hai ke logon ne ghulu kiya. ghulu na kiye to koi masla hi nahi hai. maulana, agla sawal jnu new delhi se ahmed sahib ne kiya hai.
