Namaz Kya Hai?
Namaz, jise Salah bhi kaha jata hai, Islam ka ek important ibadat ka amal hai jo rozana 5 baar kiya jata hai. Ye sirf ek routine nahi, balki Allah (SWT) se direct connection ka zariya hai. “Namaz” shabd South Asia mein zyada use hota hai, jabki “Salah” Arabic term hai jo Qur’an mein aaya hai.
Ye ek aisi ibadat hai jo banda ko Allah ke samne jhukne ka mauka deti hai, taake uska dil, soch aur rooh paak ho sake.
Namaz aur Salah Mein Antar
Dono ka matlab wahi hai, lekin “Salah” Quran aur Arabic-speaking countries mein zyada istemal hota hai, jabki “Namaz” non-Arab Muslim countries jaise India, Pakistan, Iran mein use hota hai.
Islam Mein Namaz Ki Importance
Namaz Islam ke 5 pillars mein se dusra pillar hai. Namaz ko chhodna ek badi ghalti hai, aur usse ada karna sabse azeem amalon mein aata hai.
Quran Mein Namaz Ka Zikr
Quran mein Allah (SWT) firmata hai:
“Namaz mominon par waqt ke paband taur par farz ki gayi hai.” (Surah An-Nisa 4:103)
“Namaz qayam karo, zakat do, aur jhukne walon ke sath jhuko.” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:43)
Hadith Mein Namaz Ka Maqam
Rasool Allah (PBUH) ne farmaya:
“Qayamat ke din sabse pehle jis cheez ka hisaab hoga wo namaz hai. Agar wo sahi hui, to baki amal bhi sahi honge.” (Tirmidhi)
