Namaz Islam ka doosra aur sab se ahem rukn hai, jo musalman aur mushrik ke darmiyan farq karti hai. Yeh har baligh, aaqil musalman mard aur aurat par din mein paanch (5) martaba farz ki gai hai. Namaz sirf chand jism ki harkaat ka naam nahi, balkay yeh Allah Pak se qurbat (nazdeeki) hasil karne, uski yaad taza karne, gunahon ki maghfirat talab karne, aur roohani sukoon hasil karne ka aik zariya hai. Namaz ki pabandi Allah Pak ke hukm ki itaat aur uski nematton par shukar guzari ka izhar hai.

Quran-e-Pak Mein Namaz Ki Farziyat

Allah Pak ne Quran Majeed mein mutaddid maqamat par Namaz qaim karne ka hukm diya hai. Namaz ki farziyat itni wazeh hai ke iska inkar karne wala Islam se kharij ho jata hai. Chand misaalain darj zel hain:

• Allah Pak farmata hai: “Aur Namaz qaim karo aur Zakat ada karo aur Ruku karne walon ke sath ruku karo.” (Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayat 43)
• Aik aur maqam par irshad hota hai: “Beshak Namaz mominoon par muqarrar waqt par farz hai.” (Surah An-Nisa, Ayat 103)

In ayaton se Namaz ki farziyat aur waqt ki pabandi ki wazahat milti hai.

Ahaadees-e-Mubarika Mein Namaz Ki Ahmiyat

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ ne Namaz ki ahmiyat ko behtareen andaz mein bayan kiya hai. Aap ﷺ ne Namaz ko Deen ka sutoon (pillar) qarar diya hai:

• Deen Ka Sutoon: Prophet Muhammad ﷺ ne farmaya: “Namaz Deen ka sutoon hai. Jis ne usay qaim kiya usne Deen ko qaim kiya, aur jis ne usay chorh diya usne Deen ko gira diya.” (Baihaqi)
• Jannat Ki Kunji: Aap ﷺ ne farmaya: “Namaz Jannat ki kunji hai.” (Musnad Ahmad)
• Aakhirat Mein Pehla Hisab: Prophet Muhammad ﷺ ne farmaya: “Qayamat ke din bandah se sab se pehle Namaz ka hisab liya jayega. Agar Namaz theek nikli to woh kamyab ho gaya, aur agar theek na nikli to woh nakam ho gaya.” (Tirmidhi)
• Gunahon Ki Maghfirat: Aap ﷺ ne Namaz ko gunahon ko dhone ka zariya qarar diya hai. Maslan, aik Hadith Pak mein Namaz ki misal paanch (5) waqt nahane se di gai hai, jo insan ke jism se gandagi ko saaf kar deti hai, isi tarah Namaz gunahon ko saaf karti hai. (Sahih Muslim)

Namaz Tark Karne Par Sakht Wa’eed

Namaz ki farziyat aur ahmiyat ke sath sath, isay tark karne par Quran aur Hadith mein sakht wa’eed (dhamkiyan) bayan ki gai hain. Namaz ko jan boojh kar chorhna aik bada gunah hai.

• Quran Pak mein Allah Pak ne farmaya: “Phir unke baad aisey na-khalaf paida hue jinhon ne Namazon ko zaya kiya aur nafsaani khwahishat ke peeche lag gaye, to anqareeb woh jahannum ki gehri wadi (Ghayy) mein dale jayenge.” (Surah Maryam, Ayat 59)
• Prophet Muhammad ﷺ ne farmaya: “Hamare aur un (kafiron) ke darmiyan ahad Namaz hai, jisne usay chorh diya usne kufr kiya.” (Tirmidhi)

Yeh ahaadees Namaz ki azmat aur usay tark karne ke khatarnak nataij ko wazeh karti hain.

Khulasa

Namaz Islam ka aik bunyadi aur na qabil-e-tark rukn hai. Yeh sirf Allah Pak ki ibadat nahi, balkay musalman ki roohani aur jismani tarbiyat ka zariya bhi hai. Namaz ki pabandi duniya mein sukoon aur akhirat mein kamyabi ki zamanat hai. Hamein chahiye ke Allah Pak ke is azeem hukm ki pabandi karen aur apni Namazon ko khushu aur khuloos ke sath ada karen.
