Many people, they translate the Arabic word Salah into prayer.
Prayer is not the appropriate translation of the Arabic word
salah.
Because to pray, means to beseech to ask for help,
like how beseech like how you ask for help in a court of law, dua is
supplication and in Salah besides asking help from Allah subhanaw
taala we praise Allah subhanaw taala we glorify Him, we are
receiving guidance from Him.
Therefore Salah is simultaneously called as a programming towards
righteousness,
or conditioning, or layman's terminology as brainwashing.
But if you're going for Salah, and if anyone asks you that, where are
you going, and if you tell them that I am going for brainwashing
offer conditioning or for programming, it may sound a bit
odd.
Therefore, I would not have any problem if anyone uses the English
word prayer for the Arabic word salah.
But I would like to remind them, that is not the appropriate
translation.
And the moment you hear the word programming, you start engulf a
computer.
If you allow me to call the human being a machine, I would call it
the most complicated machine on the face of the earth, much more
advanced than the most advanced computer.
And we human beings, we are the Astra freemark Luca, the best of
the creations. Allah subhanaw taala says within Chapter 95 was
done for love by the Halacha doll in Santa Fe Asita Kareem When Li
we have created human beings in the best of forms in the best of
moles.
And the psychologists, they tell us that the mind is not directly
under our control, but our body it is directly under our control.
If I want to raise my hand, I can raise my hand. If I want to take a
step forward, I can take a step forward.
But the mind is not directly under our control. Our body is directly
under our control.
That's the reason many of us might have experienced that while we are
offering salah, our mind wanders
and for example, if a student after appearing for an
examination, he offers Salah he will start reviewing the
examination paper in his mind, he may think that the question number
two, I should have written this instead of writing that.
If a businessman office Allah He meeting that how much profit have
a maid how much goods have a soul?
If a housewife is offering salah, she may think that what should I
cook for my husband, trebled biryani or Shrek below?
If a teenager is offering salah, he may think that what should I
text my friend? When should I call my friend
therefore there are high chances that while we are offering Salah
our mind will wander
and why does our mind wander? Because our mind is empty
and the human mind it cannot remain empty. That is the reason
it wanders.
And we know the basic things that we decide in our Salah. So the
Fatah and other shortsword of the Glorious Quran
it's mechanical.
And the Muslims not so well that even if you wake up a Muslim from
the middle of asleep and ask him to recite Surah Fatiha, he will be
able to do it 100 miles per hour Bismillah R Rahman Rahim Al hamdu
Lillahi Rabbil Alameen Rahman Rai Malika Medina Kannada we are gonna
stay me the rostrata mysterium slaughter legend I'm Italian girl
multibillion dollar. I mean, it's mechanical
because only a minut portion of your mind is used in recalling it.
This is the case with sort of Fatiha and other sorts of the
Glorious Quran.
