Fariq Naik – The mechanical Performance of Salaah

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.
