SALATUL ISTISQA (Prayer for Rain)

Al-Istisqa (الاستسقاء ) literally means to seek rain, and technically in Islamic Shariah, it means to seek rain from Almighty Allah in situations of drought, sterility etc. through the prayer which has a specific method. Salatul-Istisqa or prayer for rain is seeking rain(water) from Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) during drought and times of low rainfall. 

It is Sunnah of Prophet (SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam). Rain is a special blessing of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) for living things. When no rain or drought condition arises, Muslims gather and supplicate from Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) and ask for His blessing.

Abdullah bin Zaid Al-Ansari (Radiyallahu ‘anhu) narrated:

The Prophet (ﷺ) went out towards the Musalla (prayer place) in order to offer the Istisqa’ prayer and when he intended to invoke or started invoking (Allah), he faced the Qiblah and turned his cloak inside out.

Sahih al-Bukhari 1028

Method of Salatul-Istisqa (Prayer for Rain):

Hisham bin Ishaq (Radiyallahu ‘anhu) narrated and he was from Ibn Abdullah bin Kinanah (Radiyallahu ‘anhu) – from his father who said: “Al-Walid bin Uqbah (Radiyallahu ‘anhu), the governor of Al-Madinah, sent me to ask Ibn Abbas (Radiyallahu ‘anhum) about how the Messenger of Allah (SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam) would perform Salat Al-Istisqa. I came to him and he said: 

‘The Messenger of Allah (SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam) would go out in a modest dress, humbly, imploring, until he reached the Musalla. He would not give this Khutbah (sermon) of yours, rather, he would continue supplication and imploring saying the Takbir, and pray two (2) Rak’ah, just as he would pray for the Eid.'”

Jami` at-Tirmidhi 558

Abbad bin Tamim (Radiyallahu ‘anhu) narrated :

“The Prophet (ﷺ) went out to the Musalla (prayer place) to offer the Istisqa prayer(prayer of rain), faced the Qiblah and offered a two Rak’ ah prayer and turned his cloak inside out.” Abu Bakr (Radiyallahu ‘anhu) narrated, “The Prophet (ﷺ) put the right side of his cloak on his left side.”

Sahih al-Bukhari 1027

Time for Prayer of Rain

The timing for the Istisqa prayer is anytime when one can offer Nafl (optional prayers). Most recommended is forenoon which is time for Eid Salah.

Place To Offer Prayer

It is desirable to offer rain prayer in open grounds or place where Eid prayer is performed, outside the Mosque.

Rakah’s in Prayer

This prayer is two Raka’at with a loud recitation in both and without Adhaan and Iqamah, similar to Eid prayer. It is preferred to recite Surah Al-A’laa chapter 87, in the first rak’ ah, and Surah Al-Ghashiyah chapter 88 in the second rak’ ah.

Supplication after Prayer

The imam should prolong supplications and repentance and guide people to do these.

Recomendations for prayer:

Imam and people will go on feet and wear daily-use dresses.

All must be in the mood of full submission and obedience and show respect.

Imam will deliver sermon (Khutbah) standing on earth.

Men should flip their cloak, shawl or upper garment, i.e. to obey Sunnah and showing a gesture of change from drought to prosperity.

#11 pamit

assalaamu'alaikum, yaa ahla Baqi' Al Gharqad

Raudhah kedua

Saya apply permit untuk masuk Raudhah kedua via Nusuk dan memilih hari terakhir di Medina. Saya bersama bu M, salah satu jamaah sekamar, memilih tanggal dan waktu yang sama, supaya bu M ada temennya. Sekitar jam 11 malam waktu setempat, kami bersiap. Malam syahdu (lagi) tanpa hujan dan masih banyak orang antri ke Raudhah.

Seorang jamaah di depan saya, yang sepertinya ibu-ibu orang arab non-Saudi, bertanya yang manakah hujroh/kamar Nabi. Saya bingung mau jawab karena takut salah. Ndilalahnya, ada mbak-mbak di samping saya (barisan lain) turut menjawab, menjelaskan dengan bahasa Arab. Kira-kira si Mbak bilang, itu yang hijau di sisi kiri, kalau yang kanan sana mimbar. tak lupa, Ibu tadi berterima kasih.

Kami berusaha (sedikit kriminal) ambil shaf ke depan. Tetap gak bisa gak nangis di Raudhah😭. Pulang-pulang di pintu keluar masih nangis sesenggukan mendengar askar bilang, "Wallah, qobuul, sister." Sambil diusap-usap pundak saya oleh askar😭. Lalu saya meminta izin berpelukan sama bu M, saling maaf-maafan dan bu M mendoakan—ya Allah, kayak pelukan sama keluarga sendiri dan bu M menganggapku anaknya sendiri😭.

Menjadi tanda pamitan mau meninggalkan Medina siang harinya. Rasanya ini adalah qifti paling emosional (alias cengeng nangisan—tunggu sebelum umrah ketiga). Saya baru menyadari bahwa sebentar lagi akan masuk bulan Rabiul Awal, bulan Nabi Muhammad. Tiba-tiba membatin, "gimana, ya, rasanya Maulid di Medina?"

Baqi' Al Gharqad

Sedikit fomo karena adik-adik Gontor menyinggung makam Baqi'. Karena suka dengan ziarah, saya jadi berencana dadakan ke Baqi' sama tour leader setelah subuh terakhir (more chances to come, aamiin) di Nabawi😂. Saya ingat bahwa Baqi' tidak boleh dimasuki perempuan, jadi saya cukup salam حرمة dari jauh (lihat foto di atas) dan mengajak teman lain untuk ziarah ke Baqi' sambil menunggu sunrise yang cantik banget. Ternyata dapat "oleh-oleh" foto yang dia sebut, seperti di luar angkasa. Saya jadi tidak penasaran lagi bagaimana dalamnya. Thank you!

Masjid Ghamamah

"Bu, saya kepingin dhuha di Ghamamah." "Oke. Ayok."

Siang hari itu, kami akan checkout hotel untuk melaksanakan umrah. saya dan mayoritas jamaah lain menggunakan bus untuk moving to Mekah. Beberapa menggunakan haramain express. Saya tetiba ingin masuk Ghamamah. Jadilah saya bilang ke ibu-ibu sekamar.

Masjid ini sering saya lewati, tapi belum pernah dimasuki wkwk. Tahun 2015 seingat saya Ghamamah memang ditutup, kali ini saya icip salat dhuha—yang saya jadikan tanda perpisahan personal saya dengan Medina.

Saya paling ingat dengan nama masjid ini. Karena namanya terasa indah (karena arti harfiahnya awan/mendung, kayaknya perasaan saya aja yang indah wkw). Saat orientasi Nabawi, muthowif menjelaskan kenapa dinamakan Ghamamah? Karena di Ghamamah dahulunya pernah digunakan Rasul untuk salat istisqa' (salat meminta hujan) bersama penduduk sekitar saat Madinah dilanda kekeringan atau paceklik.

(bersambung)

…

*ini adalah cerita-cerita umrah di akhir bulan Safar-Rabiul Awal (sebelum maulid) 1446H, yang (kemungkinan) akan kuromantisasi habis-habisan. sebagai pengingat pribadi dan semoga ada manfaat yang bisa diambil, yah!

BASICS OF ISLAM : Salah ( Ritual Prayer in Islam ) : The Importance and Meaning of Salah. Part1

Prayer is the most important type of worship, for it displays a person’s sincerity and loyalty to God. In the words of God’s Messenger(S.A.W.), it is the pillar or main support of religious life (Daylami, al-Firdaws, 2:404).

There are several kinds of prayers, as follows:

Obligatory; The five daily prescribed prayers and the Jumu’a (Friday) prayer. The latter is not obligatory for women, but they can pray it if they wish. The funeral prayer is obligatory, but not upon every individual. If some people perform it, others do not have to.

Necessary (wajib); The ‘Iyd (religious festive days) prayers and the witr prayer (performed after the late evening or night prayer until dawn).

Sunna (those performed or advised by the Prophet(S.A.W.); Those performed before or after the daily prescribed prayers, tahajjud (performed after the late evening prayer and before the witr prayer), tarawih (performed after the late evening prayer during Ramadan), khusuf and kusuf (performed during solar and lunar eclipses), and the prayer for rain (salat al-istisqa).

Supererogatory and rewarded; Salat al-ishraq (performed some three quarters after sunrise), salat al-duha (forenoon or broad daylight prayer, performed until some three quarters before the noon prayer), and salat al-awwabin (performed between the evening and late evening prayers). There are some other supererogatory prayers, such as salat al-tawba (performed before asking God to forgive us),salat al-istikhara (performed to ask God to make something good for us), salat al-tasbih (the prayer of glorifying God), the prayer performed when leaving on a journey, and the prayer per-formed when returning from a journey.

The servants leave. One spends only a little money before reaching the station. He uses his money so wisely that his master increases it a thousandfold. The other servant gambles away 23 of the 24 coins before reaching the station. The first servant advises the second one:

“Use this coin to buy your ticket, or else you’ll have to walk and suffer hunger. Our master is generous. Maybe he’ll forgive you. Maybe you can take a plane, so we can reach the farm in a day. If not, you’ll have to go on foot and endure 2 months of hunger while crossing the desert.”

If he ignores his friend’s advice, anyone can see what will happen.

Now listen to the explanation, those of you who do not pray, as well as you, my soul that is not inclined toward prayer.

The ruler is our Creator. One servant represents religious people who pray with fervor; the other represents people who do not like to pray. The 24 coins are the 24 hours of a day. The farm is heaven, the transit station is the grave, and the journey is from the grave to eternal life. People cover that journey at different times according to their deeds and conduct. Some of the truly devout pass in a day 1,000 years like lightning, while others pass 50,000 years with the speed of imagination. The Qur’an alludes to this truth in 22:47 and 70:4.The ticket is the prescribed prayers, all of which can be prayed in an hour. If you spend 23 hours a day in worldly affairs and do not reserve the remaining hour for the prescribed prayers, you are a foolish loser. You may be tempted to use half of your money for a lottery being played by 1,000 people. Your possibility of winning is 1:1,000, while those who pray have a 99 percent chance of winning. If you do not use at least one coin to gain an inexhaustible treasure, something is obviously wrong with you.

//ENAM HARI TANPA MATAHARI//

@fatahyasina

Hujan; adalah salah satu anugerah mahal yang saat ini sangat kita rindukan kehadirannya di negeri kita yang hari-hari ini sedang ter(/di)bakar, khususnya di bilangan Sumatera dan Kalimantan.

Empat belas abad yang lalu, Kota Suci Madinah juga pernah merindukan hal yang serupa. Anas bin Malik pernah menceritakan kenangannya mengenai hal ini, sebagaimana dituturkan oleh Imam Al Bukhari & Imam Muslim dalam kitab Sahih masing-masing beliau.

“Kala itu hari Jumat, Nabi ﷺ sedang berdiri menyampaikan khutbahnya. Di sela-sela itu, ada seorang lelaki yang masuk masjid melalui pintu yang berhadapan dengan mimbar.

Orang itu kemudian menghadap ke arah Rasulullah ﷺ seraya berkata:

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، هَلَكَتِ الْأَمْوَالُ، وَانْقَطَعْتِ السُّبُلُ، فَادْعُ اللَّهَ يُغِيثُنَا.

[رواه البخاري ومسلم]

‘Wahai Rasulullah, harta benda telah lenyap dan jalan-jalan terputus. Maka tolong mintakanlah kepada Allah agar menurunkan hujan untuk kita.’” [HR. Al Bukhari & Muslim]

Dalam riwayat lain:

… هَلَكَتِ الْمَوَاشِي، وَانْقَطَعَتِ السُّبُلُ …

[رواه البخاري]

“… hewan-hewan ternak telah lenyap, dan jalan-jalan terputus …” [HR. Al Bukhari]

Dalam riwayat lain:

… هَلَكَتِ الْكُرَاعُ ، هَلَكَتِ الشَّاءُ …

[رواه البخاري]

“ … kuda-kuda (tranportasi) telah mati, serta domba-domba juga demikian …” [HR. Al Bukhari]

Anas menuturkan; “Maka Rasulullah ﷺ mengangkat kedua tangannya seraya berdoa:

“اللَّهُمَّ أَغِثْنَا، اللَّهُمَّ أَغِثْنَا، اللَّهُمَّ أَغِثْنَا”

[رواه البخاري ومسلم]

‘Ya Allah, berilah kami hujan. Ya Allah, berilah kami hujan. Ya Allah, berilah kami hujan.’“ [HR. Al Bukhari & Muslim]

Dalam riwayat lain:

“اللَّهُمَّ اسْقِنَا، اللَّهُمَّ اسْقِنَا، اللَّهُمَّ اسْقِنَا”

[رواه البخاري]

“Ya Allah, siramilah kami dengan hujan. Ya Allah, siramilah kami dengan hujan. Ya Allah, siramilah kami dengan hujan.” [HR. Al Bukhari]

Kata Anas:

قَالَ أَنَسٌ : “وَلَا وَاللَّهِ مَا نَرَى فِي السّ��مَاءِ مِنْ سَحَابٍ وَلَا قَزَعَةً ، وَمَا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ سَلْعٍ مِنْ بَيْتٍ وَلَا دَارٍ. قَالَ : فَطَلَعَتْ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ سَحَابَةٌ مِثْلُ التُّرْسِ، فَلَمَّا تَوَسَّطَتِ السَّمَاءَ انْتَشَرَتْ، ثُمَّ أَمْطَرَتْ.”

[رواه البخاري ومسلم]

“Demi Allah, sungguh sebelum itu kami tidak melihat sedikitpun awan tebal maupun awan tipis. Juga tidak ada di antara tempat kami dan Bukit Sela (جبل سلع, berjarak sekitar 5 km di sebelah barat laut Masjid Nabawi) rumah atau bangunan apapun.

Tiba-tiba dari bukit itu tampaklah awan bagaikan perisai. Ketika sudah membumbung sampai ke tengah langit; awan itu pun menyebar, lalu hujan pun turun.” [HR. Al Bukhari & Muslim]

Dalam riwayat lain:

 وَإِنَّ السَّمَاءَ لَمِثْلُ الزُّجَاجَةِ، فَهَاجَتْ رِيحٌ أَنْشَأَتْ سَحَابًا، ثُمَّ اجْتَمَعَ، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَتِ السَّمَاءُ عَزَالِيَهَا

[رواه البخاري]

“Saat itu langit bagaikan kaca yang bening. Lalu datang angin yang menggiring awan. Awan itu berkumpul, maka langit pun menumpahkan pundi-pundi kirbatnya (maksudnya: hujan deras).” [HR. Al Bukhari]

Anas melanjutkan;

“فَلَا وَاللَّهِ، مَا رَأَيْنَا الشَّمْسَ سِتًّا”

[رواه البخاري]

“Demi Allah, semenjak hari itu kami tidak melihat matahari selama enam hari (karena hujan menerus)”. [HR. Al Bukhari]

Tiga abad kemudian, sebagaimana diriwayatkan oleh Imam Adz Dzahabi dalam Siyar A'lam An Nubala’, Andalus juga pernah merindukan hal yang serupa; hujan.

Kekeringan panjang melanda di akhir kepemimpinan Abdurrahman An Nashir; pemimpin terbesar sepanjang delapan abad Andalus yang mengantarkan Andalus kepada puncak kebesarannya; mengemban amanah selama 50 tahun (300-350 H).

Mundzir bin Said Al Baluthi, seorang ulama yang saat itu juga menjabat sebagai hakim tertinggi negara (Al Qadhi), menginstruksikan seluruh elemen negara untuk Salat Istisqa (memohon hujan) berjamaah.

Semua sudah siap, hanya tinggal Abdurrahman An Nashir saja yang belum hadir. Diutuslah seseorang untuk menjemput sang khalifah. Ditanyalah sang utusan oleh sang hakim:

ها أنا سائر، فليت شعري ما الذي يصنعه الخليفة في يومنا هذا؟

“Ini kita sudah siap, salat hampir dimulai. Apa yang dilakukan khalifah di saat-saat seperti ini? Kenapa belum juga datang?”

Sang utusan menjawab:

ما رأيته قط أخشع منه في يومه هذا، إنه منفرد بنفسه، لابس أخشن الثياب، مفترش التراب، قد علا نحيبه واعترافه بذنوبه، يقول: رب هذه ناصيتي بيدك، أتراك تعذب الر��ية وأنت أحكم الحاكمين وأعدلهم، أن يفوتك مني شيء

“Aku tak pernah melihat beliau sekhusyuk hari ini. Beliau sedang menyendiri. Mengenakan pakaian terlusuhnya yang berdebu (dalam memohon hujan memang dianjurkan mengenakan pakaian yang buruk, dan bukan pakaian yang terbaik sebagaimana salat-salat lainnya), tersedu menangisi serta mengakui dosa-dosanya;

‘Ya Rabb, ini ragaku ada di tangan-Mu, ambil saja seluruhnya, jangan ada yang terlewat; jika memang bisa menjadi penghalang azab dari para rakyat. Engkau lah sebaik-baik pemberi keputusan dan seadil-adilnya hakim.’”

Mendapat kabar tsb, Mundzir bin Said meneteskan air mata seraya berkata:

يا غلام احمل الممطرة معك ، إذا خشع جبار الأرض رحم جبار السماء .

“Nak, ambil payungmu. Jika sang pemimpin bumi sudah khusyuk, maka Sang Penguasa Langit (Allah ﷻ) akan menurunkan kasih sayang-Nya.”

Dan benar, hari itu pula turun hujan; yang dinanti-nantikan. Sebelas abad kemudian, atau tepatnya hari ini, kita juga merindukan hal yang serupa; hujan besar untuk memadamkan kebakaran dan asap di ribuan titik di bilangan Kalimantan serta Sumatera. Dua ribu sembilan belas ini negeri kita mengeluarkan angka Rp 95 milyar untuk pengendalian kebakaran hutan dan lahan (karhutla), termasuk untuk ‘mendatangkan’ hujan, sebagaimana dilansir Bisnis.com.

Lihat. Betapa mahalnya harga teknologi yang harus dibayar untuk 'sekadar’ mendatangkan air dari langit. Dan terbukti hari ini api masih berkobar, asap masih merajalela bahkan menjalar hingga ke negara tetangga. Sembilan puluh lima milyar Rupiah; di saat itulah kita tahu betapa mahalnya sebuah doa orang saleh, apalagi jika ia seorang pemimpin tertinggi sebuah negeri.

Untuk itu, kepada orang-orang saleh yang barangkali belum banyak berbekal ilmu sains/teknologi karena kesibukan di bidang lain, jangan pernah berkecil hati. Jangan pikir bahwa Anda tidak punya solusi untuk negeri kita. Justru bisa jadi satu-satunya solusi hari ini adalah doa-doa Anda, orang-orang saleh. Dan memang demikianlah solusi yang pernah menjawab kekeringan di peradaban-peradaban besar sekelas Madinah dan Andalus. Tentu, dua peradaban tsb bukanlah kawasan yang kekurangan orang-orang cerdas atau minim teknologi di masanya, namun ternyata solusi yang hadir menuntaskan adalah doa orang saleh; lewat perantara mereka lah hujan turun seketika, dengan izin Allah ﷻ.

Kemudian untuk para saintis/teknokrat/siapapun kita yang hari ini sedang berlomba untuk memberikan solusi yang terbaik untuk tanah air; jangan pernah memandang sebelah mata orang-orang saleh yang barangkali tak tampak 'kerja nyata’ mereka untuk musibah-musibah yang tumpah di negeri kita. Kita tak pernah tahu, barangkali ke depannya (atau sudah berkali-kali) masalah di negeri ini tuntas berkat kalimat-kalimat doa dan air mata mereka.

Wallahu a'lam.

Once Prophet Muhammad ﷺ offered Salat ul Istisqa (prayer for rain), the clouds came immediately and it started raining. We have Masjid Ghamama built at the same place in 86 A.H which is an important ziyarat place to visit in Madina. https://www.instagram.com/p/CkhBw8Yq7Ib/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

SALAT AL-ISTISQA

Rain is a blessing from Allah bestowed upon his servants. Salatul-Istisqa is a prayer performed in supplication to Allah for Rain. If there is a shortage of water causing drought, low levels of water in the streams and wells and help in extinguishing bushfires.

EVIDENCE FROM SUNNAH

Offering prayers for rain (salaat al-istisqa’) is Sunnah, as confirmed by saheeh hadeeths and the practice of the early generations of Islam. Ibn Qudaamah said:

Prayer for rain is a confirmed Sunnah, proven by the practice of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and of his successors (the caliphs – may Allah be pleased with them).

- End quote from al-Mughni, 2/148

Abu Dawood (1165), at-Tirmidhi (558), an-Nasaa’i (1506) and Ibn Maajah (1266) narrated that:

Ishaaq ibn Abdillah ibn Kinaanah said: al-Waleed ibn ‘Uqbah, who was the governor of Madinah, sent me to ask Ibn ‘Abbaas about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) for rain (istisqa’). He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out wearing modest clothes, walking humbly and beseeching Allah, until he reached the prayer place, where he ascended the minbar, but he did not give a khutbah like this khutbah of yours; rather he continued to offer supplication (du‘aa’), beseech Allah and recite takbeer, then he prayed two rak‘ahs as he used to pray at Eid.

- Classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood

VENUE: The Sunnah is for it to be observed outdoors and not inside the mosque, in accordance with the Prophet’s ﷺ Sunnah, except when there is need to do otherwise.

DESCRIPTION

1- It should be prayed as a two-raka’at Salat with neither the Adhan nor Iqamah. Recitations of Quran in both raka’ats are said aloud.

2- The imam says the takbeer seven times in the first rak’ah after the initiating takbeer. In the second rak’ah, he says five takbeers apart from the one he says while standing up from the prostration.

3- Imam raises his hands with each takbeer, praises Allah and extols Him. He also seeks blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ between each takbeer.

4- After the Salat, the imam delivers a single sermon in which he seeks a great deal of forgiveness and recites Quran over and over. Thereafter he supplicates (the authentic supplications of the Prophet ﷺ) with insistence, showing humility, helplessness and demonstrating how powerless people are in front of Allah.

5- The imam faces the Qiblah, turns his cloak inside out, placing what is on the right on the left, and that of the left on the right.

Via Youtube: Tawheed on 29th Aug, 2020 Ruling in taking cattle around mountains and valleys and then sacrificing them as a means of invoking Allah for rain [Noor ala alDarb, Shaikh ibn Baz, Vol: 2] Language: English Q: Your Eminence, our fathers tell us that prior to the recent spread of Dawah (calling to Islam) following the reign of Al Saud, it was a common practice in our area to take cows around the mountains and valleys and then offer one as sacrifice to Allah for rain. Is this similar to Salat-ul-Istisqa" (Prayer for rain)? A: Although this was done with the intention of invoking Allah for rain, it is wrong and has no basis in the Shariah (Islamic law). It is Bid`ah (innovation in religion). What is correct is to seek nearness to Allah by performing Salat-ul-Istisqa 1 and offering Dua`a (supplication) asking for Allah's Help. If people slaughter animals and distribute their meat as Sadaqah (voluntary charity), perform Sawm (fast) or give Sadaqah in the form of money or food, such as grain or dates, these are good deeds. However, people should not go to a place that they believe to be a place of "Ibadah (worship), because a righteous man is known to have lived or to have been buried there. One must not do these or similar practices, as they are Bid`ah. Taking cows around mountains or valleys has no basis in the Shariah; it is also an unnecessary act of Bid`ah. To attain closeness to Allah, it is sufficient to lawfully slaughter sacrificial animals anywhere, not in a specific place, valley or mountain. People must seek nearness to Allah that He may show mercy on them for their showing kindness to the poor by giving them Sadaqah. It is a good deed to give Sadaqah during times of invoking Allah for rain as Allah shows mercy to those of His servants who are merciful to each other. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Allah shows mercy to those worshippers of His who are merciful to one another. In another Hadith he said: Those who do not show mercy to others will not receive Allah's mercy.) Allah will show mercy to people during times of drought provided that they give Sadaqah to the poor, distribute meat of sacrificed animals to them, or provide them with food and clothing. #Islam #Fatwa #IbnBaz https://binbaz.org.sa/fatwas/5989/%D8%AD%D9%83%D9%85-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B0%D9%87%D8%A7%D8%A8-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%89-%D8%AC%D8%A8%D9%84-%D9%84%D8%B0%D8%A8%D8%AD-%D8%B0%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%AD%D8%A9-%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%8A%D9%87-%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AC%D9%84-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%B3%D9%82%D8%A7%D8%A1

BASICS OF ISLAM : Salah ( Ritual Prayer in Islam ) : The Importance and Meaning of Salah.Part1

Prayer is the most important type of worship, for it displays a person’s sincerity and loyalty to God. In the words of God’s Messenger(S.A.W.), it is the pillar or main support of religious life (Daylami, al-Firdaws, 2:404).

There are several kinds of prayers, as follows:

Obligatory; The five daily prescribed prayers and the Jumu’a (Friday) prayer. The latter is not obligatory for women, but they can pray it if they wish. The funeral prayer is obligatory, but not upon every individual. If some people perform it, others do not have to.

Necessary (wajib); The ‘Iyd (religious festive days) prayers and the witr prayer (performed after the late evening or night prayer until dawn).

Sunna (those performed or advised by the Prophet(S.A.W.); Those performed before or after the daily prescribed prayers, tahajjud (performed after the late evening prayer and before the witr prayer), tarawih (performed after the late evening prayer during Ramadan), khusuf and kusuf (performed during solar and lunar eclipses), and the prayer for rain (salat al-istisqa).

Supererogatory and rewarded; Salat al-ishraq (performed some three quarters after sunrise), salat al-duha (forenoon or broad daylight prayer, performed until some three quarters before the noon prayer), and salat al-awwabin (performed between the evening and late evening prayers). There are some other supererogatory prayers, such as salat al-tawba (performed before asking God to forgive us),salat al-istikhara (performed to ask God to make something good for us), salat al-tasbih (the prayer of glorifying God), the prayer performed when leaving on a journey, and the prayer per-formed when returning from a journey.

The servants leave. One spends only a little money before reaching the station. He uses his money so wisely that his master increases it a thousandfold. The other servant gambles away 23 of the 24 coins before reaching the station. The first servant advises the second one: 

“Use this coin to buy your ticket, or else you’ll have to walk and suffer hunger. Our master is generous. Maybe he’ll forgive you. Maybe you can take a plane, so we can reach the farm in a day. If not, you’ll have to go on foot and endure 2 months of hunger while crossing the desert.” 

If he ignores his friend’s advice, anyone can see what will happen.

Now listen to the explanation, those of you who do not pray, as well as you, my soul that is not inclined toward prayer. 

The ruler is our Creator. One servant represents religious people who pray with fervor; the other represents people who do not like to pray. The 24 coins are the 24 hours of a day. The farm is heaven, the transit station is the grave, and the journey is from the grave to eternal life. People cover that journey at different times according to their deeds and conduct. Some of the truly devout pass in a day 1,000 years like lightning, while others pass 50,000 years with the speed of imagination. The Qur’an alludes to this truth in 22:47 and 70:4.The ticket is the prescribed prayers, all of which can be prayed in an hour. If you spend 23 hours a day in worldly affairs and do not reserve the remaining hour for the prescribed prayers, you are a foolish loser. You may be tempted to use half of your money for a lottery being played by 1,000 people. Your possibility of winning is 1:1,000, while those who pray have a 99 percent chance of winning. If you do not use at least one coin to gain an inexhaustible treasure, something is obviously wrong with you.
