Izikhathi ezinhlanu ngosuku — ngaphambi kokusa, emini, ntambama, ngokushona kwelanga, nasebusuku — ngaphezu kwesigidigidi samaSilamu 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: amaSilamu athandaza izikhathi ezinhlanu ngosuku ngoba u-Allah wakuyala. IQuran ihlanganisa umthandazo nokuhamba kosuku ngokwalo:
"Ngempela, umthandazo umiselwe amakholwa ngezikhathi ezimisiwe."
(Surah An-Nisa, 4:103)
Umthandazo uyinto yokuqala umSilamu abuzwa ngayo, futhi uMprofethi ﷺ wawuchaza njengensika okumi phezu kwayo sonke isakhiwo senkolo. Uphoqelekile kuwo wonke umSilamu omdala, owesilisa nowesifazane 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; Sahih Muslim, 667)
Umthandazo Wenzani Ngempela
- Ugcina inhliziyo ixhunyiwe. Umthandazo uyingxoxo eqondile noNkulunkulu — akukho mpristi, akukho phakathi. "Misa umthandazo ukuze ungikhumbule" (Surah Taha, 20:14).
- Uvimbela okubi. IQuran 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
AmaSilamu athandaza izikhathi ezinhlanu ngosuku ngoba uNkulunkulu wakuyala — futhi ngokulalela, athola lokho umthandazo owawenzelwe ukukunika: usuku olulukwe ngokukhumbula, inhliziyo ehlanziwe, nokuphumula phambi koMdali wawo.
