It is also narrated that he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ asked: ‘How long have you been offering Salah like this?’ The person replied: ‘For forty years.’ He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ said: ‘You have not offered any Salah at all for forty years and if you die in the same state, you will not die on the religion of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.’

(Sunan Nasa`ee, pp. 225, Hadees 1309)

اَلْاَمَان وَ الْـحَفِیْظ May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ protect our faith!

خدایا بُرے خاتمے سے بچا لے            گنہگار ہے جاں بَلب یا الٰہی!

اٰمِيۡن بِجَاهِ النَّبِيِّ الۡاَمِيۡن صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيۡهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم

صَلُّوۡ اعَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                                   صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Teaching of offering Salah with calmness

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has narrated that the Beloved Rasool
صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم came to the Masjid; a person came and offered Salah and then went to the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and said Salam to him. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied to his Salam and said: ‘Go and offer Salah because you have not offered Salah [correctly].’ The man went back and offered Salah in the same way. He then came to the Beloved Rasool
صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and said Salam to him. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied to his Salam and said: ‘Go and offer Salah because you have not offered Salah.’ This happened thrice. The man humbly said: ‘By Him Who has sent you with the Truth! I know the same Salah. Please teach me.’ The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: ‘When you stand for Salah say Takbeer and then recite as much from the Holy Quran as much you can recite easily and then perform Ruku calmly. Then raise your head from the Ruku’ and stand up straight, then perform Sajdah calmly, then raise your head and sit calmly and then complete the whole Salah in the same way.
