Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem
By Hadhrat Moulana Abdul Hamid Is`haq Saheb (Daamat
Barakaatuhum)
Salaah has to become a Salaah in reality.
When we present ourselves for Salaah, we should do
so with utmost humility. We should submit ourselves – heart, mind, body and
soul, to Allah Ta’ala. Let us keep before us that Salaah is entering the Court
of the King of Kings, and let us keep before us our reality: That we are the
slaves and servants of Allah Ta’ala.
When we bow our heads in Ruku’ and prostrate our
heads in Sujood, then we must also bow and prostrate our hearts to
Allah Ta’ala and surrender fully to Him.
When our heads are in Sujood, then we should also
surrender our brains and intellect to Allah Ta’ala. ...We sometimes have our own
plans and ideas – which are not in compliance with Dien and Shari'ah. We should
relinquish them for the Pleasure of Allah Ta'ala. Submit to the Commandments
and Decisions and Plans of Allah Ta’ala, which are full of Wisdom, Mercy and
Kindness for His Slaves.
Salaah, performed with true ‘Abdiyyat (Servitude),
invites the success of this world and the success of the Hereafter. Fortunate and
intelligent is the person who establishes Salaah in his or her life.
May Allah Ta’ala grant us the Taufeeq of true
Abdiyyat and establishing our five daily Salaah.
