Izihlandlo ezihlanu ngemini, phambi kokusa, emini emaqanda, emva kwemini, ngokutshona kwelanga, nasebusuku, ngaphezu kwesigidigidi samaMuslim ayeka nantoni na akwenzayo, ajonge kwicala laseMakkah, aze athandaze. Lo mthandazo, obizwa nge-salāh, sisiseko sesibini seeNtsika eziNtlanu Ze-Islam. Kodwa kutheni izihlandlo ezihlanu? Yaye umelani?
Kuba UThixo Wakuyalela
Eyona mpendulo ilula iza kuqala: amaMuslim athandaza izihlandlo ezihlanu ngemini kuba u-Allah wakuyalela. IQur'an idibanisa umthandazo nokuhamba kwemini ngokwayo:
"Inene, umthandazo umiselwe amakholwa ngamaxesha amisiweyo."
(Surah An-Nisa, 4:103)
Umthandazo yeyona nto yokuqala umMuslim abuzwa ngayo, kwaye uMprofeti ﷺ wawuchaza njengentsika emi phezu kwayo yonke isakhiwo sonqulo. Unyanzelekile kuwo wonke umMuslim omdala, indoda nomfazi ngokufanayo.
Isingqi Esihlela Ngokutsha Imini
Imithandazo emihlanu isasazwa emini ngabom: i-Fajr phambi kokuphuma kwelanga, i-Dhuhr emini emaqanda, i-'Asr emva kwemini, i-Maghrib ngokutshona kwelanga, ne-'Isha ebusuku. Endaweni yokucinezela uThixo kwixesha elinye ngeveki, i-Islam iluka inkumbulo yakhe kuyo yonke imini. Umsebenzi, usapho, nokuphumla konke kugcina indawo yako, kodwa kunqunyulwa, kahlanu, ngokubuyela kuLowo owanika oku.
UMprofeti ﷺ wanika umfanekiso omhle woko esi singqi sikwenzayo:
"Ndixeleleni, ukuba bekukho umlambo emnyango womnye wenu ahlamba kuwo izihlandlo ezihlanu ngemini, ngaba bekuya kusala ubudaka kuye?" Bathi, "Bekungayi kusala budaka kuye." Wathi: "Nguwo loo mzekelo wemithandazo emihlanu, u-Allah acima ngayo izono."
(Sahih al-Bukhari 528, Book 9, Hadith 7; Sahih Muslim 667, Book 5, Hadith 355)
Umthandazo Wenza Ntoni Ngokwenene
- Ugcina intliziyo inxulumene. Umthandazo yincoko ethe ngqo noThixo, akukho mfundisi, akukho somlomo. "Misa umthandazo ukuze undikhumbule" (Surah Taha, 20:14).
- Uthintela okubi. IQur'an ithi umthandazo "uthintela ukungcola nokona" (Surah Al-'Ankabut, 29:45), izihlandlo ezihlanu ngemini noThixo zenza kube nzima ukubhadula.
- Uyathoba uyalinganisa. Emsjidini, izityebi namahlwempu bema ngecala ngecala kwimigca efanayo, amabunzi phezu komhlaba ofanayo.
- Uzisa uxolo. Xa ihlabathi lalicinezela nzima uMprofeti ﷺ, wayesithi: "O Bilaal, siphumze ngomthandazo." (Sunan Abi Dawud, 4985)
Ngesivakalisi Esinye
