is in the Hanafî Madh-hab, he will be kept prisoner until he begins performing namâz regularly and will be commanded to perform all the prayers of namâz he has omitted. It is stated as follows in the books Durr-ul-muntaqa and Ibni Âbidîn, and in Kitâb-us-salât, published by Hakîkat Kitâbevi in Turkey: “Omitting the five daily prayers of namâz, i.e. not performing them in their prescribed times without any good excuse for not doing so, is a grave sin. Forgiveness for this sin requires making a hajj or tawba.” And the tawba made for it, in its turn, will not be acceptable unless one performs the prayer, or the prayers, of namâz one has omitted. One must free oneself from this state of harâm by performing the omitted prayers of fard namâz instead of the daily prayers of sunnat namâz called Rawâtib. It is written in authentic religious books that if a person has debts of fard prayers of namâz none of his sunnat or supererogatory prayers of namâz will be accepted even if they are sahîh. That is, he will not attain the thawâbs (rewards), the benefits which Allâhu ta’âlâ promises (for performing supererogatory prayers). Their writings are quoted in our (Turkish) book Se’âdet-i Ebediyye. It is not sinful to miss a namâz for good reasons (prescribed by Islam). Yet all the four madh-habs agree that one has to perform as soon as possible any prayers of namâz one has missed or omitted be it with good excuses or not. In Hanafî Madhhab only, it would be permissible to postpone them as long as the time necessary for working for one’s living or for performing the prayers of sunnat namâz called Rawâtib or the supererogatory prayers of namâz advised through hadîth-i-sherîfs. That is, it will be good to postpone the qadâ namâzes with these reasons. According to the other three Madhhabs, however, it is not permissible for a person who has debts of namâz omitted for good reasons to perform the so-called prayers of sunnat namâz or any sort of supererogatory namâz; it is harâm. The fact that the prayers of namâz omitted for good reasons are not the same with those neglected without good reasons is written clearly in Durr ul-Mukhtâr, Ibni ’Âbidîn, Durr ul-Muntaqâ, Tahtâwî explanation of Merâk il-felâh and Jawhara. – 122 –
P.O.Box 4249 11th. Nov. 1991 Kaduna Nigeria Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Raheem Assalamu alaikum Warahmatullahi ta’ala Wabarakatuhu Dear brother(s), I am writing to request for Islamic literature for my family and myself from your organisation. My problem is that I do not have a deep understanding of Islam especially as regards its history, and general principles. This has been a source of great worry for me because, having acquired quite a considerable amount of western knowledge that has been completely devoid of any Islamic touch, the system has unconsciously built into my frame of mind certain biases that always tend to do serious damage to my faith. I seem to be in a perpetual struggle with these biases — a struggle that often manifests in my tendency to rationalise certain serious issues contained in our Holy Book — the Qur’an also, many of my non— moslem colleagues and friends, particularly Christians have always sought to know about Islam, the Holy Qur’an and certain contemporary issues that concern muslims or border up on Islam generally from me. I, most often, find myself severely handicapped to respond adequately and effectively to their enquiries because I do not myself have a sound base in Islamic literature. Moreover, I do not understand the arabic language, though I am making a lot of effort in that regard because of my profound interest and determination to know all that I am supposed to know in Islam. I, therefore, need your assistance very badly, I sincerely believe that, in-Sha-Allah, you can help me and my family a lot to strengthen our faith based on sound knowledge. This would also adequately equip us, in-Sha- Allah, to effectively spread the light of Islam within our environment and even beyond. I will be particularly grateful if your kind response to my request will include publications on Islamic Regious knowledge generally as well as any other which you consider appropriate and useful for our own spiritual growth. Anxiously awaiting your anticipated favourable response. Wassalaam. Your brother in Islam ISMAIL ALHASSAN SATI – 123 –
