Izihlandlo ezihlanu ngemini — phambi kokusa, emini emaqanda, emva kwemini, ngokutshona kwelanga, nasebusuku — ngaphezu kwesigidigidi samaSilamsi 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: amaSilamsi athandaza izihlandlo ezihlanu ngemini kuba u-Allah wakuyalela. IQuran idibanisa umthandazo nokuhamba kwemini ngokwayo:
"Inene, umthandazo umiselwe amakholwa ngamaxesha amisiweyo."
(Surah An-Nisa, 4:103)
Umthandazo yeyona nto yokuqala umSilamsi abuzwa ngayo, kwaye uMprofeti ﷺ wawuchaza njengentsika emi phezu kwayo yonke isakhiwo sonqulo. Unyanzelekile kuwo wonke umSilamsi 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; Sahih Muslim, 667)
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. IQuran 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
AmaSilamsi athandaza izihlandlo ezihlanu ngemini kuba uThixo wakuyalela — kwaye ngokuthobela, afumana oko umthandazo wawenzelwe ukukunika: imini elukwe ngenkumbulo, intliziyo ehlanjiweyo, nokuphumla ebusweni boMdali wawo.
