Commentary
‘Ista-‘iinuu – (seek help). This word has been
derived from ‘awn, which means “help and support”. Origin of
this word is ‘ista-‘aanat, which means “to seek help”. When anyone feels a
work difficult, he needs help of any other person/thing. In such
situation, whoever requests for help, he is called musta-‘iin, and who helps the needy, is called – Mu-‘iin. More words from it are musta-‘iin, which is from ‘ista-‘aanat (begging for help), and ‘a-‘aanat from mu-‘iin (helping someone).
‘As-Sabru – (power of endurance, and
tolerance), it is needed every time. Whenever any good work is being
performed, doing it wholeheartedly is also patience; and whenever someone
has to suffer from any calamity, bearing it without confusion is tolerance
too. During working hard, the patience is necessary also. To keep the
wishes pressed needs patience too. In short, the patience is required
every time and if we behold; it is the foundation of every good virtue.
God Almighty bestowed the human
being two things, soul and body, and these both are very great blessings.
Duty of the soul is to acquire knowledge, to devise and to take the work from
the body. And it is the duty of the body that it should move in accord
with the intention of the soul. The prayer is a means of gratitude
for these spiritual and bodily blessings. Recognizing God Almighty is the
thanks of the knowledge. The gratitude of the blessings of standing
position is that someone should pray God Almighty in straight standing
position, then bow and remember Him in such position and then fall
prostrate and remember Allah in such position; that due to His blessings hands
from elbows, legs from knees, hands and feet from wrists and ankles can be
bent. This is the great blessings; otherwise if any joint becomes stiff,
then it would have a severe thrashing. Then the person should sit down and
think that how is it a great blessing? Remember the blessing of turning
the neck at the time of saying “‘As-salaamu ‘Alaykum wa
RahmatUllaah” to the right and then to the left. At last someone should
thank God with tongue also adopting every position of the body with
intention. It is called a prayer.
'Al- Khaashi-iin – (humble-minded people);
this word has been derived from khushuu’, which means “to disclose ones
humility” and it is the biggest worship by the heart, the individuals
who suppose themselves weak and feeble without help of God, they are
called ‘al-Khaashi-iin. It is the great worship of the heart to
assert his humility during standing position, bowing position, falling
prostrate position and in sitting position before God Almighty, because in
the prostrate position, all limbs of the body are bent which is a sign of
capability to work and health of the body. So the prostration is the best
form for declaration of the gratitude and conception of helplessness. We
should think that if the body parts do not turn and move then the human
being is helpless and crippled. From it, those people should learn who
deem that the prayer is useless.
