About Qaza Dear Hangama
Asalam wa Alikom wa Rehmatullah,
Dear you started a very important and a must-know issue for every Muslim.
I don’t know how to start about this subject but I would like to express my personal understanding and research in this regard.
I want to clear some point regarding SALAT (namaz) which are very unknown to general muslims.
- Islam has concept of QAZA
- But Islam has no concept of QAZA-E-UMREE
- According to Islam if some one missed a SALAT (namaz) then when ever he/she got the time they should pay that SALAT in the sequentially, not different SALAT in different times.
- Acceptance and not acceptance from ALLAH is not the matter of discussion for human being, and understanding or guess of acceptance of regular SALAT or QAZA is beyond the level of human consciousness. And totally based on the will of ALLAH Subhanaho Tala.
- We should care only the etiquettes of performance of SALAT
What is QAZA of SALAT:
The QAZA of SALAT is to perform immediately in first available time. All QAZA SALATS must be perform in sequentially.
What is QAZA –E- UMREE:
In fact one QAZA SALAT has no surrogate or substitutes, except to perform immediately in first available time. But a QAZA SALAT can never be a substitutes of SALAT at time.
Islam knows nothing about QAZA-e-UMREE, Islam knows only QAZA of few times due to illness, Jihad, or Travel…. like this kind of reasons.
If one do not perform SALAT without reason then he/she comes in the category of non-muslim. So if one did not perform SALAT for years then he/she were the non-muslim state during that period of age. And only the ASTAGFAR (repentance) can be save from punishment of AKHIRAT. When ever such thing happened, do the true repentance of and start the SALAT immediately with all sincerity of faith.
Rakat of SALAT:
Fajar = 2
Zuhar = 4 (not 12)
Aasar = 4
Maghrib= 3 (not 7)
Esha = 4 (not 17)
Before and after these Rakat of SALAT MUHAMMAD (pbuh) were use to perform some Nawafils. Some Nawafils MUHAMMD (pbuh) performs constantly and some occasionally. We muslims following the MUHAMMAD (pbuh) use to perform that Nawafils as Sunnah. Because Nawafils of MUHAMMAD (pbuh) are Sunnah for muslims. But keep in your head that Sunnahs are not the part of SALAT. But these Sunnahs are the support of any SALAT for the acceptance. If one would not perform Sunnahs then he will not be asked about that Sunnahs in regard of 5 time Farz SALAT. But his SALAT will be consider without recommendation (SIFARISH) of MUHAMMAD (pbuh).
The last SALAT of the day is called WITTAR. The meaning of WITTAR is “ONE”. As it is known in Arabic literature ALLAH Subhanaho Tala is WITTAR. This SALAT should be perform before sleep. But if you have fear to missing or lack of time then you can perform this SALAT after the Esha SALAT.
Rakat of WITTAR:
As it is clear by the name of SALAT, it is one. So WITTAR is always be one. We can attached two (2) Nawafils, four (4) Nawafils, Six (6) Nawafils with this one Rakat of WITTAR. So WITTAR can be perform as 1, 3, 5, and 7. MUHAMMAD (pbuh) mostly performed 3 WITTAR.
