Izikhathi ezinhlanu ngosuku, ngaphambi kokusa, emini, ntambama, ngokushona kwelanga, nasebusuku, ngaphezu kwesigidigidi samaSulumane ayeka noma yini akwenzayo, abheke ngase-Makkah, bese ethandaza. Lo mthandazo, obizwa nge-salāh, uyisisekelo sesibili seziNsika Ezinhlanu Ze-Islam. Kodwa kungani izikhathi ezinhlanu? Futhi umelani?
Ngoba UNkulunkulu Wakuyala
Impendulo elula iza kuqala: amaSulumane athandaza izikhathi ezinhlanu ngosuku ngoba u-Allah wakuyala. IQur'an ihlanganisa umthandazo nokuhamba kosuku ngokwalo:
"Ngempela, umthandazo umiselwe amakholwa ngezikhathi ezimisiwe."
(Surah An-Nisa, 4:103)
Umthandazo uyinto yokuqala iSulumane elibuzwa ngayo, futhi uMprofethi ﷺ wawuchaza njengensika okumi phezu kwayo sonke isakhiwo senkolo. Uphoqelekile kulo lonke iSulumane elidala, elingowesilisa noma elingowesifazane, ngokufanayo.
Isigqi Esihlela Kabusha Usuku
Imithandazo emihlanu isakazwa osukwini ngamabomu: i-Fajr ngaphambi kokuphuma kwelanga, i-Dhuhr emini, i-'Asr ntambama, i-Maghrib ngokushona kwelanga, ne-'Isha ebusuku. Esikhundleni sokucindezela uNkulunkulu esikhathini esisodwa ngeviki, i-Islam iluka ukukhunjulwa kwakhe kulo lonke usuku. Umsebenzi, umndeni, nokuphumula konke kugcina indawo yakho, kodwa kunqanyulwa, kanhlanu, ngokubuyela kuLowo owanika konke.
UMprofethi ﷺ wanikeza umfanekiso omuhle walokho lesi sigqi esikwenzayo:
"Ngitsheleni, ukube bekukhona umfula emnyango womunye wenu abhukuda kuwo izikhathi ezinhlanu ngosuku, ngabe kusala ukungcola kuye?" Bathi, "Bekungeke kusale ukungcola kuye." Wathi: "Yileso isifanekiso semithandazo emihlanu, u-Allah asula ngayo izono."
(Sahih al-Bukhari 528, Book 9, Hadith 7; Sahih Muslim 667, Book 5, Hadith 355)
Umthandazo Wenzani Ngempela
- Ugcina inhliziyo ixhunyiwe. Umthandazo uyingxoxo eqondile noNkulunkulu, akukho mpristi, akukho phakathi. "Misa umthandazo ukuze ungikhumbule" (Surah Taha, 20:14).
- Uvimbela okubi. IQur'an ithi umthandazo "uvimbela ukungcola nokona" (Surah Al-'Ankabut, 29:45), izikhathi ezinhlanu ngosuku noNkulunkulu zenza kube nzima ukuduka.
- Uyathobisa uyalinganisa. Emsjidi, abacebile nabampofu bema ngasohlangothini olulodwa emigqeni efanayo, amabunzi phezu komhlabathi ofanayo.
- Uletha ukuthula. Lapho umhlaba ucindezela kanzima uMprofethi ﷺ, wayethi: "O Bilaal, siphumuze ngomthandazo." (Sunan Abi Dawud, 4985)
Ngomusho Owodwa
AmaSulumane athandaza izikhathi ezinhlanu ngosuku ngoba uNkulunkulu wakuyala, futhi ngokulalela, athola lokho umthandazo owawenzelwe ukukunika: usuku olulukwe ngokukhumbula, inhliziyo ehlanziwe, nokuphumula phambi koMdali wawo.
Funda Kabanzi
- IziNsika Ezinhlanu Ze-Islam Zichaziwe. Lapho umthandazo ungena khona phakathi kwezisekelo ezinhlanu zempilo yeSulumane.
- Yini I-Islam? Isingeniso Esiphelele. Isithombe esiphelele senkolo engemuva komthandazo.
