Namaz is the name of the daily five-fold prayer in Islam. The importance of Muslim prayer is stipulated in the holy book of the Qur'an, the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and in all the works of Muslim scholars. According to Islamic theologians, prayer stands between the faith and unbelief of the servant of God. And the faith of the person who left the fivefold prayer and neglected it remains in doubt.
Interpretation of the meaning of Muslim prayers
What is namaz? This is the fulfillment of the rite of worship to Allah throughout his sexually mature conscious life for certain periods of the day with the performance of a clear sequence of rituals. The prayer process is stipulated by a number of important rules, the non-observance of which impedes its implementation:
- maintaining the purity of the place of prayer of Muslims;
- ritual purity of the body and clothes;
- sincerity of intention;
- a sequence of basic ritual actions.
The morning prayer of Muslims begins the day of every believer, and the night prayer ends it. Throughout life, Muslims touch their forehead hundreds of thousands of times with the earth, expressing their obedience to the will of Allah, recognizing his dominance and showing humility and gratitude. According to the texts of the Qur'an, a person who has performed namaz is cleansed of sins that he committed shortly before, if these sins are not related to causing harm to others and are not serious sins. Thus, the Muslim received the greatest mercy of the Almighty - the forgiveness of sins, like a fivefold washing of the body, which cannot remain dirty after such regular cleansing procedures.
A special place is occupied by the Friday prayer of Muslims, when all mosques are filled with people who have gathered to show obedience to the will of the Almighty, emphasizing their unity and uniting in a joint bow to Allah.
Various rewards have been prepared for a person to regularly pray for Muslims - starting with the blessings of this world and ending with the promise of an easy stay in the grave after death, filled with light and peace of the last shelter of the deceased, forgiveness on the day of judgment, protection from hell and eternal bliss in paradise.
Namaz is not only a way of proving recognition of the will of the Lord and an expression of humility, but also an opportunity to earn encouragement and beg forgiveness. It cleanses the soul of man from the bad influence of the ego, from the promptings of Satan, from the evil eye and corruption.
The person performing the fivefold prayer is accompanied by guardian angels. They drive away all evil spirits from him and prevent her from invading the body of the worshiper, inflicting irreparable destructive injuries on his morality and spirituality.
For every Muslim, prayer is not a service or a series of boring monotonous actions. This is an opportunity for dialogue with God, it is an all-encompassing grace that allows us to hope for the forgiveness of sins and painless atonement for them, this is a chance to maintain our faith and not go into another world in a state of sacrilege or unbelief.
Every God-fearing Muslim is trembling with respect to maintaining his faith and obedience to God, he tries to work on the level of God-fear and unquestioningly fulfills his religious duties, and especially monitors the observance of five-fold prayers.
