AKHTAR SHERAZI TO DR. Maqsood Jafri

PUZZLEMENT ABOUT PRAYING FIVE TIMES A DAY

Your comments;

You like Mr. Sherazi insist on the Quran and reject the Sunnah (Practice) of the holy prophet of Islam. You have cited many verses signifying the Quran as the only source of the Islamic laws and teachings. No body denies this truth. But I am trying to say that The Quranic verses need interpretation and practice. Suppose the Quran says "offer prayers". How can we pray? Should we invent some exercise of standing and sitting? We have to pray as the holy prophet prayed. As I earlier mentioned that the Quran is an ideology and the prophet is its' picture by practice. We can not change the basics of the Quran but we can interpret them in the light of modern sciences and needs of time. Hence, we can say that the basic source of law is the Quran and the prophet practiced it. There are basic laws in the Quran and we can make new laws and regulations in the light of Ijtehad. The Quran and the Sunnah are complementary to each other.

My comments;

Firstly, I would like to clarify that the Quran does not instruct Muslims to ‘offerprayers’. I do not know how Mohammad was praying because I was not over therebut I do know one thing with confidence from the Quran that Mohammad wascompletely unaware present kind of Zoroastrians Nimaz and Jews prayers. Howcome Mohammad could give his nation the present form of prayers which is themain cause of the blood shed in the mosques and disintegration in the Muslimsociety? This worship has destroyed the unity of the Muslims. Do you thinkMohammad could give his nation dissimilar rituals of worshipping which is the maincause of hatred and disintegration among the Muslims on account of followingreasons?

a- Dfferent Nimaz or prayers for Shiah and Sunni.

b- Different Azan [call for pray] for Sunni and Shiah.

3. Why the Qur’an does not specify timings for prayers? Who created these and why? Wouldyou like to comment on that?

4. If the Iranian Nimaz or supplication is an essential element of Al-Deen, then why the namesof five daily prayers: Fajar, Zohar, Asar, Mugrab and Isha are non-existent in Allah’s finalBook? If these are non-existent in the Qur’an, then wherefrom did these originate, and whowas the originator? How do you view that important topic?

5. Why the Qur’an is completely silent about the number of the component rakats [modules] ofvarious prayers such as Sunnat, Fard, Nafal, Vitar, and Traveh? Where did these come from,and who were the perpetrators of such blasphemy? Do you have any answer?

6. Why does the Qur’an not identify the verses suitable for recitation in each rakat of everyprayer? What do you say about that?

7. Atta-Hyatt, an essential component to be recited before the completion of each module ofprayer, consisting of two Rakats, is not available in the Qur’an. Who wrote and introducedthis Arabic passage for the Nimaz, [prayer] and how did they dare to equate this humaninsertion with the text of Allah? Come out with your response!

8. Where does the Qur’an mention that recitation of Surah Al-Fatiah is compulsory in everyRakat of each Nimaz? How do you look at that aspect of Iranian Nimaz?

9. If one points out, ‘well the Farad modules of all prayers are for Allah, and the Sunnatcomponent is for Mohammad,’ the Muslim priests would gladly agree. Now, here a questionpops up; the companions of Mohammad, during his lifetime, used to perform Farad for Allah,but what did they used to do during Sunnat? It seems ridiculous for the last Messenger to

Page 4: 49 QUESTIONS ABOUT NAMAZ - AKHTAR SHIRAZI

declare his personal prayer. Did he use to sit in front of his praying companions, while theyperformed the ritual in his name? Conversely, it means during Farad they bowed down toAllah, but during the performance of Sunnat, they doubled over in front of Mohammad. It isevident that along with worshipping Allah, they offered adulation to Mohammad by executinghis Sunnat, but it could have never happened, as it would tantamount to challenging Allah’sunique and exclusive position within the universe. Therefore, the Sunnat prayer constitutes anantithesis of Allah’s declaration of solitary existence [Towheed]. Would you like to contradictthe above statement?

10. The term Allah-o-Akhabar is a repetitive and essential constituent of all prayers, but why itdoes not appear anywhere in the Qur’an? Have you ever thought about that?

11. All Muslim sects claim that Sallat or prayers, without Qayyam, Rakooh and Sajood, areincomplete, but all of them execute funeral prayers [supplication not recommended by theQur’an] without those essential elements, Rakooh and Sajood. Is it possible, Allah couldcome up with such contradictory commands? How do you explain that paradox?

12. The Shi’ah begin their Wadu or ablution from the feet, in contrast to the Sunni, who beginwith the face first. Can Allah issue such stupid and inconsistent commands? Do you agree orgo the other way?

13. The followers of Khalifa Arashad confirm [Moslem. Org. edited by Edip Yuksel], one canpray naked, in one’s own privacy. It may be all right to do so in a nudist club, where allmembers are naked in an exclusively secluded spot. Would it be all right to visit such a sexyenvironment for supplication? Would you condemn the command of Khalifa Arashad or gothere for the fun?

14. Is it possible to identify even a single verse of the Qur’an, which issues specific command onthe subject of funeral prayers? Come out with your rejoinder, if you have any!

Page 5: 49 QUESTIONS ABOUT NAMAZ - AKHTAR SHIRAZI

15. Which verse or, verses of the Qur’an provide details about Eid-ul- Fitar prayer? Please tellthe Ummah if you know!

16. Does the Qur’an mention Eid-ul-Dahha prayer in any verse, and where is it written for theMuslims to follow the Sunnah of Abraham, pertaining to the sacrificial lamb?

17. Does the Qur’an instruct the Sunni Muslims to celebrate the festival of Eid-e-Meellaad-un-Nabi, through any verse? What do you say about that?

18. Sahih Bukhari presents separate Darood-o-Salam, for the Sunni sect! The question arises;from where did he get anecdotal eulogies for the last Messenger of Allah, and who authorizedsuch extreme variations among various Muslim sects? Do you have any information aboutthat topic?

19. Aazan and Ata-Hayyat, two fundamental ingredients of Sallat lack authentication of theQur’an. Undoubtedly, all these practices are time wasting rituals, which can never be anintegral part of the dynamic charter of rights and obligations the Qur’an presents to the entirehumanity. In addition, every sect, including Shi’ah, Sunni, Isamali, Wahabi, and the followersof Khalifa Arshad of the USA, have basic differences in their way of praying, contradictingthe Qur’an’s claim; this book is free of conflicts. How would you react to that factualstatement?

20. Shi’ah has different Aazan as compared to their Sunni counterparts. Can you identify, whichone is in line with Allah’s commandments?

21. The word Sallat has appeared 67 times in the Qur’an and at most spots; it is followed by theterm Zakkat. This in simple term means, administration and fiscal management of an Islamic

Page 6: 49 QUESTIONS ABOUT NAMAZ - AKHTAR SHIRAZI

state. The Islamic priesthood has made a blatant violation of the Arabic lexicon and syntax,by translating Sallat into an Iranian word Nimaz. The five prayers per day is a figment ofsome demented mind’s imagination or, had been a deliberate attempt to derail the dynamicprogram of government formation, under the charter of the Qur’an. This twisted introductioninto the divine social order has destroyed the effectiveness of Allah’s constitution, given tothe human beings for having a successful, prosperous, and secure way of life, in this world.Sunni, Wahabi and Shi’ah pray five times a day, while the followers of Agha Khan and thoseof Ballag-ul-Quran establishment in Pakistan opt for three prayers a day. Both of the lattersects claim; three times supplication is better than five times, as it saves valuable time, andconstitutes a straight passage to heaven. Would you please comment on this terminal issuefrom the viewpoint of the Qur’an?

22. Iqam, Ruku, and Sajjdah are integral constituents of all prayers except the funeral. Thefollowing Duas are recited in all prayers on daily basis:

Before starting the prayer, the worshipper has to say in the mute mode, ‘Auzu billahi-minash-shayta nirrajeem’ [I seek refuge in Allah from Shaytian (devil), the evictedone].

In the starting Rakat, the following Dua is recited:

Subbhanak Allahumma wa bihamdika wa tabarakasmuka wa taala jadduka wa la ilaha ghayruk [Glory to you, O Allah! And praised be the blessed name of our forefathers.

Saying Ameen loud during the prayers of Fajar and Isha is considered essential.

Note:

Jews and Christians also do the same drill with Ameen in their prayers.

The following bunched up Addyyah [plural of Dua] are conspicuously absent from theQur’an:

Page 7: 49 QUESTIONS ABOUT NAMAZ - AKHTAR SHIRAZI

Subhana Rabbi Al-Azeem [during Kneeling]; Subhan Kallah huma wa Bihamdika [during Iqaam]; Sami Allah Huleman Hamdah [reverting to Iqam] and Rabbana wa alakal hamd [a rejoinder at Iqam]; Subhana rabbi yallala [recital during Sajjdah]

Do you happen to know, who invented these fake expressions, resembling the text of the Qur’an, and why? Do you acknowledge, writing any material resembling that of the last revelation is an unpardonable criminal offence?

23. According to the Muslim faith, the five daily prayers were awarded to Mohammad, becauseof the incident of his Ascension, Allah knows where. As per the Ahadith on the subject,Mohammad became a kind of yo-yo between Allah and Moses, because Moses was callingthe shots in opposition to Allah, and he sent Mohammad back to Him about ten times to getthe final tally of the fasting days and number of prayers. Here the question arises; the earlierMessengers of Allah used the same term Sallat, but did not get the command of Nimaz; howdo you explain that discrepancy? Furthermore, they never received any invitation to visitAllah’s abode, wherever it is. Why did Allah maintain such an enormous discrimination,between Mohammad, and the previous Messengers? This is not fair because their nationswere saved from the stipulation of Sallat ritual, which, indeed, is nothing but Iranian Nimaz.What logical answer you can come up with for that ridiculous account?

24. According to the crap Iranian ‘literature’ based upon Ahadith and Sunnah, Mohammad,before soaring towards Allah’s abode through deep space, without even a space suit, led theprayer attended by all previous Messengers of Allah, except Jesus, who was resting at thefourth level of heaven. Isn’t a glaring discrepancy existing here? How could Mohammad leadany prayer before having tête-à-tête with Allah? The command of prayers had yet to be givento him. If it was not the regular, run of the mill, prayer, what kind of supplication was it?Don’t you think all this silliness about prayers is simply mind-blowing?

25. All nouns in the verses of Surah Al-Fatihah are in the plural form. Recitation of this Surah ina group supplication [Ba Jamat] makes sense, as more than one person are doing therecitation But when an individual supplicant recites the same seven verses, he is not prayingat all, but performing a mockery of the Arabic syntax. What would you say about that?

Page 8: 49 QUESTIONS ABOUT NAMAZ - AKHTAR SHIRAZI

26. According to the Quran, all previous Messengers of Allah including Moses, Abraham, Jesus,Ishmael, Lot, Isaac, Zachariah and Shuaib had used the term Sallat in the verses, 10: 87;14:40; 19:31; 19:55; 21:73; 3:39; 11:87. Do you think they should also have got involvedwith this ridiculous business of praying? Why did Allah let them go scot-free and did notorder them to do some supplication?

27. The Muslims are performing the rituals of prayers and Hajj, besides scores of others for thelast twelve centuries, but as an Ummah, they are facing worsening situation day by day. Atthe biggest Muslim congregation of Hajj, they do all kinds of supplications, and offer Dua,but what is the result? ‘Nothing at all, besides a big fat zilch.’ Allah does not listen to them,because they are violating the code of the Qur’an by performing ceremonials, which the lastrevelation strictly forbids. Can you propound any theory, about the failure and ineffectivess ofSallat, over the centuries?

28. Do the following terms not constitute Shirk, in the opinion of Muslim clergy [offence againstAllah’s code]?

The Quran from Allah and Ahadith from Mohammad

Farz Rakats for Allah and Sunnat for Mohammad

Allah’s Qur’an requires terribly twisted Iranian fabrications in the form of Ahadith andother ‘junk literature’ for understanding its verses.

29. Following are the major differences between the Muslims of 21st century and those existing inthe time of Mohammad and his companions:

concentrate on the principle stated in the Qur’an about unjust murdering of humanbeings. Allah’s verdict is loud and clear: ‘Unjust murder is a terrible act.’

Now the question is how such close companions and relatives of Mohammad could gothat far against the specific injunction of the Qur’an, resulting in the slaughter of tenthousand Muslims. If they really did so, then Allah must have stuck to His word andboth of them must have been disgraced in this world and dispatched to hell in this worldthe hereafter.

It has been proven fact that Mohammad never married 6 or 9 year-old Ayesha. If shewas non-existent then Ali did not have an armed clash with her and this incident wasjust the figment of Tabri’s ‘wicked’ imagination. Furthermore, where did he getpertinent information about this event, two and a half centuries after its occurrence, foradding on to his very first history of Islam? What sources did he have at his commandto report that event? Why did the Arabs, the profuse writers of poetry and prose, thepeople proud of their language, not put their pen in motion to record the history of Arabconquests? How could they remain silent about the greatest leader ever born amongthem, who revolutionized their lives and turned them into the first rate nation of thatparticular era?

Tabri, a die hard Shi’ah, tried his level best to defame Mohammad and his companions,except Ali, whom they used as a scapegoat or a façade to create disunity among theMuslim Ummah, by inventing such ridiculous incidents. It is fascinating to find outwhat the Qur’an says about Mohammad’s companions, both men and women who gaveunrelenting support to their leader, for the establishment of a divine social order.

Allah says in the verse 48:29 that the comrades of Mohammad loved each other, as anexpecting woman loves her unborn baby, she nourishes in her womb.

12th and 13th days of Hajj. This ritual is practiced only after the sun has passed the meridian (according to Sunnah it is not permissible to stone before noon on these two days).

However, last year the Saudi Government issued a decree stating that pilgrims mayonly perform the Stoning ritual on one day- (due to serious accidents). In due time,this decree will eventually make its way to our books not as a decree by the SaudiGovernment, but instead as a order of Allah and our future generations will assumethis as the word of god.

Afif Kandi reported it to Yahya bin Furat, who quoted to Ibn-e-Saad about the Mecca in pre-Islamic days inthese words:

�I came to Mecca, the times were just before the dawn of Islam. I intended to buy cloth and perfumes formy wife. I stayed with Abbas son of Abdul Muttalib. Next morning I went to Kaaba (the House of God) in thecompany of Abbas. After a few moments I saw a young man coming to Kaaba who looked into the skies andthen stood erect. Then a young lad came and stood beside on his right. After a short interlude, a womancame and stood behind the two men. These three offered prayers and then went away. I keenly observedthem and told Abbas �Some great change is ahead�. �You know, who these people are?� Abbas asked. Isaid �No�.

Abbas said �This young man is Mohammad son of Abdullah who was son of Abdul Muttalib, and he is my nephew; and the

woman was his wife Khadija daughter of Khawelid�.

And this was the beginning. Hadrat Khadija belonged to a respectable family of Quraish tribe. Her surnamewas Tahira (The chaste woman). Hadrat Khadija and the Holy Prophet hailed from the same tribe and theancestrol chain met at grandfather Qussaiy. The marriage of Hadrat Khadija and the Holy ProphetMohammad took place in very strange circumstances. It seems that this holy bondage was pre-destined. Hadrat Khadija was first married to Abu Hala, but unfortunately he died. After that she wasmarried to Utayyiq son of Abid Makhzumi but he too died after some time and she was again a widow. Khadijawas a very affluent woman but now least interested in the worldly affairs. She took to business and becamevery wealthy. She had many commercial agents working for her. When the Holy Prophet (SAW) reached theage of twenty five, by then the whole of Arab had known him because of his sublime character whichmattered much in those days. People called him as �the honest� and �the truthful�. Khadija was lookingfor just such a person for her commercial operations. She sent a message to Hadrat Mohammad (SAW) thatif you take my commercial consignments to Syria for business and earn good profits, I shall pay you twicemore than usual. My slave Maisrah will accompany you.

Page 24: 49 QUESTIONS ABOUT NAMAZ - AKHTAR SHIRAZI

The Prophet�s guardian and his uncle Abu Talib had also recommended the deal and predicted good profits inthe business. On his recommendation, the Holy Prophet Mohammad (SAW) accepted the offer andproceeded to Basra with Hadrat Khadija�s merchandize. Soon, all the consignment was sold and after returnto Makkah, the profit was found double than previous journeys. Hadrat Khadija was much impressed byHadrat Mohammad�s integrity, nobility and intellect. In the meantime, she had also learned much aboutHadrat Mohammad�s family affairs and she respected him because he had an enviable good repute. Timepassed by, and this respect changed into keen interest and ultimately she decided to marry HadratMohammad (SAW). Nafisa, the maid servant of Hadrat Khadija was entrusted with the job of conveying theproposal of marriage to Hadrat Mohammad (SAW) agreed to the proposal. Hadrat Khadija�s uncle Amr binSaad was called for making the necessary marriage arrangements because Hadrat Khadija�s father had beenkilled in the battle of �Fijar� many years ago. Prophet Mohammad�s uncle Abu Talib and other dignitariesof the family congregated at Hadrat Khadija�s place for marriage

ceremony. Abu Talib recited the matrimonial sermon. The Holy Prophet Hadrat Mohammad (SAW) wastwenty five years of age at the time of his marriage with Hadrat Khadija and Hadrat Khadija was then fortyyears old.

This marriage enhanced Hadrat Mohammad�s respect in Quraish tribe and struck a beautiful combination of wealth and virtue. Hadrat Mohammad (SAW) was rich in character and Hadrat Khadija was rich in money, so this combination created a powerful marital bond. Hadrat Khadija was a very loyal and loving wife and she provided all the domestic comforts to her husband. But the Holy Prophet was all the time mentally perturbed because of the deteriorating social and moral conditions in the Arab society. It was but natural of a Prophet. He was pondering over some cogent solution of the moral problems of the society. In the forthcoming years, he got so much engulfed in his meditations that he sought refuge, from the mundane problems in the Hira cave near Makkah. He made it a routine to visit Hira and stay there for weeks altogether for deep meditation and spiritual purification. Hadrat Khadija stood by her husband during this critical period and extended all help. She was the only source of solace for the Holy Prophet (SAW) in those days. When the Holy Prophet (SAW) received his first message from Allah, he was troubled and anxious. Its impact was so nerve wrecking that he rushed home shivering. The divine light illuminated his face. He said, �Khadija, I do not know what it is? I do not know what is going to happen. Wrap me in a blanket. Wrap me in a blanket�.

Hadrat Khadija said �Don�t worry, you are a truthful person. You care for others and are kind to all. Youare honest and hospitable. Allah will not forsake you�.

After sometime, she took the Holy Prophet (SAW) to her cousin Warqa bin Naufil, who was a great scholar ofthe Bible (old and new testament) and renowned intellectual. Warqa inquired about the whole incident fromthe Holy Prophet. The Holy Prophet gave full details about the appearance of a strange angel in Hira cave. Hesaid that simultaneously with the appearance of the angel, the whole cave illumined with a bright light. Theangel asked me to recite. I could not, because I never went to school. But when he embraced me, I couldrecite the holy verses.� Warqa listened and understood the whole situation. He explained. �By God, this isthe same Angel who came to Moses, I wish I could be strong enough to help you in those days when yourpeople will drive him you from their city. After a few days Warqa died and true to his prediction, theMakkans unanimously turned against the Holy Prophet. They started teasing him. In these tortuous days,

Page 25: 49 QUESTIONS ABOUT NAMAZ - AKHTAR SHIRAZI

Hadrat Khadija stood by her husband. She was his lone follower and companion. She helped him all shecould. She was loving, obedient, confirming and co-operative with her husband. She solved the problems hewas facing. She used her social status to minimize the opposition against the Holy Prophet. Due to thesefactors she was his most beloved wife. He loved her so much that while she was alive, he did not marryanother woman. In the later years of his age he used to recall the sweet memories of times passed withHadrat Khadija. Hadrat Ayisha (R.A.) said about Hadrat Khadija, �I envied her the most of all the wives ofthe Holy Prophet. One day I expressed this feeling in front of the Holy Prophet in these words, �Oh, shewas an old woman, now God has given you better wives�. On hearing this, the Prophet got so angry that thehair of his body stood on their roots, and he said, �No by God, I could not find a better wife. She embracedIslam when all opposed it. She believed in me when the whole society opposed me. She helped me financiallywhen every body deprived me. And she bore me children by the grace of God. Ayesha (RA) said that Ipromised to myself that in future, I will never utter any thing negative against Hadrat Khadija�.

Hadrat Khadija (RA) was the only wife, who bore children to the Holy Prophet (SAW). After Hadrat Khadija,it was only the bond maid Mariya Qibtiya who gave birth to a son, named Ibrahim, who died very young at theage of sixteen months. Before the announcement of apostleship, Hadrat Khadija gave birth to two sonsQasim and Abdullah who died soon after. Their sur-names were �Tahir� and �Tayyab�. In addition tothese two sons, she gave birth to four daughters. Their names are Hadrat Zainab, Ruqqiya, Umme-e-Kulsoom and Fatima.

Hadrat Khadija (RA) passed twenty four years of her married life with the Holy Prophet (SAW). In thetenth year of his prophethood and three years before the Holy Prophet�s migration to Medina, HadratKhadija died in the month of Ramadan. By that time offering of funeral prayers was not made obligatory so nofuneral prayer was offered and she was laid to rest by the Holy Prophet (SAW). She was buried at a placecalled �Hajoon�. Abu Talib the loving uncle and the guardian of the Holy Prophet (SAW) too died in thesame year. The Holy Prophet (SAW) declared that year as the �year of grief and sorrow� as he had losttwo personalities who always gave him full support and backing in every test and trial of his life.

Hadrat Khadija was a very kind hearted woman. She was a loving mother too. Though very rich, shewas a reputed philanthropist. She kept an eye over her business and managed her household affairsequally well. Due to these qualities the Holy Prophet called her �Mother of children and respect ofthe house�.

Throughout her life, she was obedience personified for the Holy Prophet (SAW).

She followed him at every phase and step of the life before and after the declaration of his apostleship. It isreported, that one day she come out of her house in search of the Holy Prophet (SAW). These were thedays, when whole of the Arab society was pitched against Hadrat Mohammad (SAW). On the way, Gabriel,the arch-angel met her, personified as a human being, and asked about the whereabouts of the Holy Prophet(SAW). She got scared that the stranger might not be an enemy looking for Hadrat Mohammad (SAW) to killhim. So she kept quiet. At home, on the arrival of the Holy Prophet (SAW), she narrated the incident.

The yearly ritualistic pilgrimage by the common Muslims, just for the sake of Allah’s reward[swab], going on for the last millennium had never been the intention of the Qur’an. Thisperiodic mammoth gathering, held per annum, has not solved any of Ummah’s pressingproblems so far, except creating some more of the administrative nature.

Going around the Ka’bah by a multitude of Muslims is kind of a vicious cycle that is totally non-productive. It is just like going in circles, reaching nowhere. The right thing to do is to a have anannual meeting of the Muslim heads of states, to discuss the issues that need immediate attentionand come up with adequate solutions.

The religious rites, like running seven times between two outcroppings of granite, called Al-Safaand Al- Marweh constitutes a worthless activity. The same is true about hitting three pillars,known as Jamorah, or three imaginary Satan’s, with pebbles. There are many other rites, which,in reality, are a continuation of the typical pre-Islamic legacy, like stopping for a night at a placecalled Muzlfa. All of these constitute the biggest blasphemy, as there is not a single command inany verse of the Qur’an, supporting these activities.

10-‘Belief in Allah means, to establish a government, based upon the constitution presented bythe Qur’an. However, the current Muslim administrations collectively represent a bunch ofKafreen, Zalmeen and Fasqeen as far as Allah is concerned, because they are implementinglegislated charters, or royal decrees.’[5:44, 45, 47]

A note of caution:

The Muslim rulers, who do not implement Allah’s constitution, after coming to power, and stillclaim that their governments are strictly following the tenets of the Qur’an, in fact, fall into theblack hole of Kafreen, Zalmeen, and ‘Fasqeen.’ In addition, the Muslim clergy, who try to keephuman legislations in line with the last revelation of Allah, instead of implementing the later inits totality, are committing a much bigger crime.
