Solatur Rasul (S.W) Part 2

 Oh Musalli!

 During your solitary conversation with Allah in salat, open the door of your heart before your creator. Approach with all of your prayers before ending of salat. Shed tears on going down in prostration. Allah knows the talks of your heart. He understands the language of your eyes. Listen to the yearning prayer of Father Ibraheem (A): ‘Oh our Lord! Verily you know what we conceal in our minds and what we express in our lips. Nothing on the earth and in the heaven is hidden from Allah’. Therefore, with fearful respect and deepest faith stand up fixing your hands folded on the chest before your Lord. Raising two hands through Raf‘ul Yadayin submit yourself before Allah. Thereafter pronounce the greatness of your creator by shouting Takbeer. Shattering all prides bend your head in Ruku before your creator Allah. Then go down to Sijdah (Prostration) putting your fore-head on the ground. Always remember. His everlasting message, ‘If you are grateful, then surely I will give you more. But if you are ungrateful, then you should know that verily My punishment is severe’. He says, ‘Oh the son of Adam! make your mind free for my prayer. I will make your heart full of comforts and remove your wants. But if you do not do so, I will make your two hands full of the (worldly) anxieties and I will not remove your wants.(Hadeeth Qudsi; Ahmad, Tirmizi H/2466; Ibnu Majah H/4107; Do, Mishkat H/5172 Ch: 26, ‘To soften the heart’. Sec:2; Albani, Silsila Saheehah H/1359. )

Therefore, come on! to earn the satisfaction of Allah and to gain Heaven in the life hereafter, let us concentrate in salat, the greatest Ibadat and prayer ceremony of Islam, by saying takbeer-i-tahreemah, leaving aside all worldly functions and submit ourselves with devoted, humble and dissolved heart 

Oh Devotee! Go on through the high-way of Sunnah without any fear. This high-way is directed straight to the paradise of Firdaus.

Description of Salat in short

(1) Takbeer-i-Tahreemah: After completion of ablution with firm determination for salat facing the Ka‘ba in standing position, fix your folded hands on the chest placing right on the left to the elbow after raising two hands up to the shoulder saying Alla-hu Akbar for takbeer-i-tareemah or will place the right wrist on the left and will keep them on the chest. After placing two hands on the chest and fixing the aim to the place of sijdah (prostration) in a very modest way, the musalli will begin a good start of his best prayer salat with following Doa :

 

Pronunciation : Alla-humma ba-‘id baini wa baina khata-yaya, kama ba-‘adta bainal Mashriqi wal Maghribi. Alla-humma naqqinee minal khata-ya kama yunaqqath thawbul abyazu minad-danasi. Alla-hummaghsil khata-ya-ya bil ma-i waththalji wal baradi’

Translation: Oh Allah! You create such distance between me and my sins as you have created distance between the East and the West. Oh Allah! You make me clean from the

sins in such a way that a piece of white cloth is cleaned from dirtiness. Oh Allah! You wash away my sins with water, snow and dewdrops.

It is called as Sana i.e. Doa-i-istiftah. There are another Doas also for Sana. But this one is most authentic.
