maintained that the single year of the world is a single day of here after, and that Aqba is a period of forty
years span. In this manner an Aqba is a period of fourteen thousands and four hundred years. (Mafhoom).
Namaz –of Qaza-e-Umeri:-
It is narrated by Ameerul Momeneen Hazrat Ali Karamnullaho Wajha that the Revered Master,
peace Be Upon Him, has said: “A person whose Namaz go unperformed, and who does not be aware that
how many of his Namaz were reduced to be Qaza, he should resort to pray fifty Raka’ats on Monday night
in such a manner that in each Raka’at he should recite after Surah-e-Al-Hamdo the Surah-e-Ikhlaas and
after the completion he should recite one hundred times the ‘Astaghfaar’ Allah the Almighty compensates
due to its blessings the Qaza of all Namaz even if the Qaza Namaz be of duration of one hundred years
period.”
Namaz in Congregation (i.e. Baa-Jamaat):
The Revered Master, peace Be Upon Him has said : “In performing Namaz in a congregation
enjoys rewards 27 times more than the reward being assigned to the one who performs Namaz all
alone”—(Bukhari, Muslim and Tirmzi)- Besides the additional 27 times rewards, the Namaz being offered in
congregation enjoy other advantages too. This contains glory of Islam; there is honour and strength for
Islam in it. There is a call towards Islam implied for the people of the other religions. And for the people
from the folds of the believers who go without Namaz. There is a lesson as well as an invitation for Namaz
too. Likewise it also involes love of Namaz in the children of the followers. It is reported in a Hadeeth that in
every congregation comprising of fourty Namazis there happens to be a chosen sage of Allah the
Almighty, and due to blessings and ‘Dua’(i.e. prayers)of the sage the Namaz of all accepted by Allah the
Almighty.
As per the remarks of an American doctor in day and night the Muslims in the five time Namaz,
come together not only for Namaz, but during that period they not only indulge in a mutual consultations for
the welfare of their religion but also set in evidence of their mutual get together, consensus and unity.
The Namaz of Tahajjud:
O dear! Get up in the midnight alarmed, perform wazoo correctly; and make a habit of offering of
twelve Raka’ats of Tahajjud Namaz, splitting each time after two. Raka‘ats with Salaams all in the solemn
dedication, god-fearing spirit and presence of heart. There after remember Allah the Almighty fully in
contemplation and visioning while you are still on the praying carpet to the extent that the said Namaz
should turn for you a pinnacle of glory.
There are in currency a lot of systems prescribed in so far as offering Tahajjud’s Namaz is
concerned. The simplest among them all is that one should recite in the first Raka’at Qul Huwallaho twelve
times after Surah-E-Al Hamdo, and in the second Raka’at Qul Huwallaho elven times and like wise
reducing in all subsequent Raka’ats Qul Huwallaho by one time complete that twelve Raka’ats.
And you may offer prayers less than twelve Raka‘ats too. The Tahajjud Namaz includes even two
Raka‘ats.
