are standing, your namâz will not be complete.” Once again,
he said, “Unless you sit upright between the two sajdas
your namâz will remain incomplete.” One day, upon seeing
someone not observing the rules and rukns of salât, not
standing upright after the rukû’ and not sitting between the
sajdas, our Prophet ‘sallallâhu alaihi wa sallam’ said, “If you go
on performing your prayers of namâz in this manner, on
the Day of Resurrection you will not be said to be of my
Ummat.” At some other time he said, “If you go on in this
manner and die, you shall not have died in the religion of
Muhammad (alaihissalâm).” Abû Hurayra ‘radiyallâhu ’anh’
says, “The person who has performed all his prayers of namâz
for sixty years but whose namâz has never been accepted is
the person who has not done the rukû’ and sajda properly.”
Zayd ibni Wahab saw someone performing namâz but not doing
the rukû’ and sajda properly. He called him out and asked him,
“How long have you been performing namâz in this manner?”
When the latter answered, “Forty years,” he said, “You have not
performed namâz for forty years. If you die now you will not die
in the Sunnat (Sharî’at) of Hadrat Muhammad.”
It is said in the book Awsât by Tabarânî ‘rahmatullâhi ta’âlâ
’aleyh’ that if a Believer performs his namâz beautifully and
does its rukû’ and sajda properly, the namâz will become happy
and will be full of nûr. Angels will take the namâz up to heavens.
The namâz will pronounce a benediction on the person who has
performed it and will say, “As you have protected me against
being defective, may Allâhu ta’âlâ protect you.” If the namâz is
not performed well it will become black. Angels will snub that
namâz and will not take it up to the heavens. The namâz will
curse the person who has performed it and will say, “As you
have wasted me and put me into a bad position, may Allâhu
ta’âlâ waste you.” Then, we should try to perform our prayers of
namâz properly, observe the ta’dîl-i arkân, do the rukû’, the
sajda, the qawma (standing upright after the rukû’) and the
jalsa (sitting upright between the two sajdas) well. Also, we
should warn others if we see them do these defectively. We
should help our brothers-in-Islam perform namâz properly. We
should be an example in observing the ta’dîl-i arkân and the
tumânînat. Most Muslims have been depriving themselves of
the honour of doing this. This blessing has already been lost. It
is very important to revivify this good deed. Our Prophet
