within the essence of something to come into existence, i.e. if it is<br />

one of its particles, the action is called Rukn. If it affects the<br />

existence externally, it is called ’illat. Nikâh (marriage contract<br />

prescribed by Islam.) is an ’illat of marriage. If doing something<br />

particular requires the existence of something else although there<br />

are no effectual relations between them, the existence required is<br />

called Sabab, the cause (reason). Waqt (appointed time for<br />

namâz) is the sabab, the cause (reason) of namâz. If doing<br />

something particular does not require the existence of something<br />

else, and yet if the latter ceases to exist in case the former should<br />

not be done, then the former is called Shart (condition). However,<br />

if the latter does not cease to exist in this case, it is called Alâmat<br />

(sign, property). Adhân (calling to prayer) is the alâmat of namâz.<br />

Five of the fards of the namâz are inside the namâz. Each of these<br />

five fards is also called Rukn. [Some Islamic scholars have said that<br />

takbîr of tahrîma [1]<br />

is inside the namâz. According to them, the<br />

rukns of namâz, as well as the sharts (conditions) of namâz, are six<br />

in number.] In the chapters ahead, we shall explain all these in<br />

accordance with the Hanafî Madhhab.<br />

There are two kinds of tahârat from hadas:<br />

1 - Performance of an ablution by a person who does not have<br />

an ablution.<br />

2 - Performance of a ghusl by a person who does not have a<br />

ghusl.<br />

Wudû’ means ablution; tawaddî means to perform an ablution;<br />

ghasl means to wash something; ightisâl means to perform a ghusl<br />

ablution, and ghusl means the ablution of ghusl (in Arabic). A<br />

Muslim who does not have an ablution is called muhdis. A Muslim<br />

who does not have a ghusl ablution is called junub.<br />

It is written in the book Halabî-yi saghîr: “There are fards,<br />

sunnats, adabs, and harâms in an abdast (ablution). If a person<br />

performs namâz without an ablution though he does not have a<br />

good excuse for doing so and though he knows that he does not<br />

have an ablution, he becomes a disbeliever. He who loses his<br />

ablution while performing namâz, performs the salâm (Assalâm-u<br />

alaikum wa rahmatullah) to one side right away and stops his<br />

namâz. Re-making an ablution before the prescribed time period<br />

is over, he begins the namâz again.”<br />

[1] The takbîr, i.e. the expression, “Allâhu akbar”, which we say to begin<br />

performing namâz.<br />
