Question: I am a young Muslim man who believes in Allaah and His Messengers and His Books, praise be to Allaah. But sometimes I feel too lazy to pray. I am looking for a solution and a way to make me not be so lazy. Please note that this is what I want but the tricks of the Shaytaan are too strong. Answer: Praise be to Allaah. If a person truly believes in Allaah, His Messengers and His Books, and believes that prayer is obligatory and is the greatest pillar of Islam after the Shahaadatayn, we cannot imagine that he would neglect to pray or be careless in performing the prayers. Rather he would never feel at ease unless he performs this important ritual regularly. The more a person’s faith increases, the more he will be concerned to do that which Allaah has enjoined upon him, and this is also because of his strong faith. Hence the way to make you pray more regularly may be summed up as follows: 1 – You should believe firmly that prayer is obligatory and that it is the greatest pillar of Islam. You should realize that a stern warning is issued to the one who neglects prayer, and he is a kaafir who is beyond the pale of Islam according to the more correct of the two scholarly opinions, based on a great deal of evidence, such as the hadeeth in which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Between a man and shirk and kufr there stands his giving up prayer.” Narrated by Muslim, 82. And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The covenant that stands between us and them is prayer; whoever gives it up is a kaafir.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2621; al-Nasaa’i, 463; Ibn Maajah, 1079; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi. 2 – You should understand that delaying prayer beyond the time when it is due is a major sin, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Then, there has succeeded them a posterity who have given up As-Salaah (the prayers) [i.e. made their Salaah (prayers) to be lost, either by not offering them or by not offering them perfectly or by not offering them in their proper fixed times] and have followed lusts. So they will be thrown in Hell”[Maryam 19:59] Ibn Mas’ood said concerning al-Ghayy [translated in the verse quoted above as Hell): This is a valley in Hell which is very deep and foul. And Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “So woe unto those performers of Salaah (prayers) (hypocrites), Those who delay their Salaah (prayer from their stated fixed times)”[al-Maa’oon :4,5] 3 – You should strive to offer the prayers in congregation in the mosque, and not neglect any of them, knowing that praying in congregation in the mosque is obligatory according to the more sound of the two scholarly opinions, based on a great deal of evidence, such as the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “Whoever hears the call to prayer and does not respond, his prayer is not valid unless he has an excuse.” Narrated by Ibn Maajah, 793; also by al-Daaraqutni and al-Haakim, who classed it as saheeh; also classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Ibn Maajah. Muslim (653) narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: A blind man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said: “O Messenger of Allaah, I do not have anyone to guide me to the mosque,” and he asked the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to give him a dispensation allowing him to pray in his home and he allowed him that, then when he turned away he called him back and said: “Can you hear the call to prayer?’ He said, “Yes.” He said: “Then answer it.” 4 – There is the hope that if you adhere to that, you will be included among the seven whom Allaah will shade with His shade (on the Day of Resurrection),among whom is “a young man who grew up worshipping his Lord” and “a man whose heart was attached to the mosque”. Al-Bukhaari, 660; Muslim, 1031. 5 – You will earn the great reward for prayer, especially prayer in congregation. In al-Saheehayn it is narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “A man’s prayer in congregation is twenty-five times better than his praying in his house or marketplace, because when he does wudoo’ and does it well, then goes out to the mosque, only going there to pray, he does not take a single step but he is raised in status and a sin is erased thereby. When he prays, the angels continue to send blessings upon him so long as he is still in the place where he prayed, (saying), ‘O Allaah, send blessings on him, O Allaah have mercy on him.’ And one of you is still in a state of prayer so long as he is waiting for the prayer.” Al-Bukhaari, 647; Muslim, 649. Muslim (232) narrated that ‘Uthmaan ibn ‘Affaan said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “Whoever does wudoo’ for prayer and does wudoo’ well, then walks to (perform) the prescribed prayer, and offers the prayer with the people or with the congregation or in the mosque, Allaah will forgive him his sins.” 6 – You should read about the virtue of prayer, and the sin of those who are careless or too lazy to pray. We advise you in particular to read the book Al-Salaah, limadha (Prayer – why?) by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ismaa’eel al-Muqaddim; and listen to the lecture, “Limadha la tusalli (Why don’t you pray?) by Shaykh Muhammad Husayn Ya’qoob, as these will be very beneficial for you in sha Allaah. 7 – You should choose good friends who are keen to pray and pay attention to that, and keep away from those who are the opposite, because a person is influenced by his friends. 8 – Keep away from sin in all aspects of your life, and adhere to the rulings of sharee’ah in your dealings with others, especially with women, because sin is one of the things that most distract a person from doing acts of worship and increase the Shaytaan’s influence on him. We ask Allaah to make us and you among His righteous slaves and those who are close to Him. And Allaah knows best. Islam Q&A

काठमाडौँ, ६ साउन । मुस्लिम धर्मावलम्बीको दोस्रो महान् पर्व बकर इद (इदुल जोहा) आज देशभरका मस्जिदमा हर्षोल्लासपूर्वक मनाइँदैछ । इदुल फित्रअर्थात् रमजान पर्वको ७० औँ दिनमा बकर इद मनाउने धार्मिक विधि रहिआएको छ । इस्लामिक पात्रोअनुसार १२ औँ महिनाअर्थात् दिल हिज्जाको १० औँ दिन यो पर्व मनाउने गरिएको नेपाली जामे मस्जिदका सचिव मन्सुर हुसेनले जानकारी दिनुभयो । यस दिन मुस्लिम धर्मावलम्बी बिहानै स्नान गरी नजिकैको मस्जिद वा इदगाहमा गई सामूहिक नमाज पढ्छन् । नमाज पढिसकेपछि एकापसमा अङ्कमाल गर्दै शुभकामना आदान प्रदान गरिन्छ । यस अवसरमा दरबारमार्गस्थित नेपाली जामे मस्जिद, काश्मीरी मस्जिदलगायत देशभरका मस्जिद र इदगाहमा मुस्लिम धर्मावलम्बीको भीड लाग्छ । यस वर्ष कोरोना भाइरसको सङ्क्रमण फैलन सक्ने भएकाले मुस्लिम आयोगलगायत निकायले विज्ञप्ति जारी गरी घरमै बसेर सुरक्षितरुपमा बकर इद मनाउन आह्वान गरेका छन् । हिजरी संवत्अनुसार १४३९ वर्ष पहिले अल्लाहको आदेशमा इब्राहिमले आफ्ना छोरा इस्माएल अलेह सलामलाई बलिदान गर्न तयार भएको सम्झनामा यो पर्व मनाउन थालिएको राष्ट्रिय मुस्लिम आयोगका पूर्वअध्यक्ष निर्दोष अलीले जानकारी दिनुभयो । “अल्लाहको आदेश इब्राहिमलाई तेरो नजिकको प्यारो चीज कुर्वान (बलिदान) दे भन्ने थियो, जसअनुसार इस्माएल अलेह सलामलाई बलिदान दिन तयार हुँदा अल्लाह आफैँ आएर परीक्षामा उत्तीर्ण भइस्, यो भेडालाई बलिदान गर भनी आदेश दिनुभयो, यही घटनाका आधारमा यो पर्व मनाउन शुरु भएको हो”, पर्वको ऐतिहासिक पृष्ठभूमि बताउँदै उहाँले भन्नुभयो । मुस्लिम धर्म गुरु ९मौलाना० रहमत अली ऐतिहासिक बकर इद पर्वको आधार बनेका इब्राहिमको वंशमा सन् ५७१ मा मक्कामा मोहम्मद सलल्ला जन्मिई निरन्तरता दिएको बताउनुहुन्छ । जसले यो पर्व एवं धर्मलाई पुस्तान्तरण गर्न महत्वपूर्ण योगदान गर्दै हदिस नामक धर्मग्रन्थको रचना गर्नुभएको थियो । “जुन ग्रन्थलाई अहिले मुस्लिम धार्मिक विद्यालय (मदरसा) मा समेत अध्ययन अध्यापन गराइन्छ, मक्कामा जन्मिनुभएका सलल्ला ५३ वर्षको उमेरपछि मदिनामा सर्नुभएको थियो, यही सम्झनामा अहिले पनि साउदी अरबमा पर्ने यी दुवै तीर्थस्थलमा ठूलो मेला लाग्ने गरेको छ”, उहाँले भन्नुभयो । यस पर्वका अवसरमा मक्का मदिना जानु शुभ मानिने भए पनि यस वर्ष कोरोनाका कारण अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय उडानसमेत सहज छैन । जसका कारण हजयात्री मक्का मदिना जान पाएका छैनन् । मक्का मदिना जान नपाएका हजयात्रीले समेत घरघरमै बकर इद मनाउने छन् । मस्जिद, इदगाहलगायत धार्मिकस्थलमा पनि भौतिक दूरी कायम गरेर बकर इद मनाउने तयारी गरिएको छ । यस पर्वमा अल्लालाई खुशी पार्न मुसलमानले धर्मले जायज मानेका जनावरलाई कुर्बानी (बलि) दिने गर्दछन् । धार्मिक मान्यताअनुसार अल्लाहका नवी (दूत) इब्राहिम अलि सलामले ९० वर्षको उमेरमा पत्नी हाजराबाट प्राप्त गरेको सन्तान छोरा इस्माइललाई कुर्बानी गर्नुपर्ने आदेश प्राप्त भयो । जसलाई पालना गर्दा अल्लाह प्रसन्न भएर इस्माइलको कुर्बानी नभएर स्वर्ग ९जनन्त० मा पालिएका दुम्बाको कुर्बानी भएको धार्मिक मान्यता छ । यसै कारण अहिलेसम्म कुर्बानी गर्ने प्रचलनलाई कायम राखेको मुस्लिम धर्मावलम्बीको भनाइ छ । निसन्तान इब्राहिमले सन्तान प्राप्तिका लागि अल्लाहसँग मनन्नत मागेका थिए । अल्लाहले मलाई सन्तानको सुख दियो भने म कुर्बानी गर्छु भन्ने इब्राहिमको प्रतिबद्धता थियो । सोहीअनुरुप अल्लाहले निजको परीक्षणस्वरुप सपनामा कुर्बानी गर्नुपर्छ भनेका थिए भन्ने मुस्लिम धर्मावलम्बीको मान्यता छ । उनले धेरै जनावर कुर्बानी गरे तर अल्लाह खुशी भएका थिएनन् । अन्तिममा आफ्ना सबैभन्दा प्यारा छोरालाई नै कुर्बानी गरी अल्लाहलाई राजी गर्न चाहेका थिए । यस घडीमा उहाँको परीक्षण सफल सावित भएपछि कुर्बानी गर्ने स्थानमा मानिसको होइन त्यही जन्नतमा पालिएर आएका दुम्बाको कुर्बान (बलि) भएको थियो । कुर्बानीको मासु तीन भागमा बाँडी वितरण गरिन्छ । एक भाग गरिब एवं विपन्न परिवारलाई, अर्को एक भाग आफ्ना आफ्ना इष्टमित्रलाई र तेस्रो भाग आफैँले खानुपर्ने मुस्लिम धार्मिक मान्यता छ ।
