Salat Time Calculation (Namaz/ Prayer/ Salah Timings)

by ღ Dars e Rohaniyat ღ 

I- FAJR (Morning Twilight) starts with the dawn and ends before sunrise

II- ZUHR (Noon) begins after Midday when the trailing limb of the sun has passed the meridian. For convenience add few minutes (5/Five) to mid-day (zawal) to obtain the start of ZUHR. ZUHR ends at the start of ASR time.

III- ASR (Afternoon) timing of depends on the length of the shadow cast by an object.

According to the Maliki, Shafi`i & Hanbali school of jurisprudence, ASR begins when the length of the shadow of an object exceeds the length of the object. (Length of any object's shadow equals the length of the object itself plus the length of that object's shadow at noon)

According to the Hanafi school of jurisprudence, ASR begins when the length of the shadow exceeds TWICE the length of the object. (Length of any object's shadow is twice the length of the object plus the length of that object's shadow at noon)

ASR time ends at start of MAGHRIB time.

IV- MAGHRIB (Evening Twilight) begins at sunset and ends at the start of ISHA.

V- ISHA (Night) starts after dusk when the evening twilight disappears and end before time of FAJR.

Kya Hazrat Ali (R.A) Ko Mola Ali Kehna Sahi Hai Ya Ghalat? Must Read

Objection: Calling Hazrat Ali (ra) "MOLA ALI Mushkil kusha" is shirk because Allah is the ONLY MOLA so if you call anyone MOLA, its shirk n Bid'ah.

Answer: Mola is arabic word which literally means Master/lord/chief and in quran/hadith its used as HELPER as well.

Ahl e Sunnah Wal Jama'ah seeks help through Mola Ali (ra) (& all other awlia) because Allah (swt) says in Quran,

یَا اَیُّہَا الَّذِینَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللّہَ وَابتَغُوالَیہِ الوَسِیلَۃَ 

- “O people of the faith! While Keeping the fear of God in the heart and ask help from the Medium (Waseelah)!!!!!

Hadith 1: عن البراء بن عازب رضي الله عنه, قال: أقبلنا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم في حجته التي حج فنزل في بعض الطريق, فأمر الصلاة جامعة, فأخذ بيد علي رضي الله عنه, فقال: ألست أولى بالمؤمنين من أنفسهم ؟ قالوا: بلى. قال: ألست أولى بكل مؤمن من نفسه ؟ قالو ا بلى. قال: فهذا ولي من أنا مولاه, اللهم ! وال من والا ه اللهم! عاد من عاداه.

“Barā’ bin ‘Āzib (ra) narrates: We performed hajj with Allāh’ s Messenger (saw). On the way he stayed at a place and commanded us (to establish) the pr ayer in congregation. After this, he held ‘Alī’s hand, and said: Am I not nearer than the lives of the believer s? They replied: Why not! He said: Am I not near er than the life of every believer ? They replied: Why not! He said: One who has me as his master has this (‘Alī) as his guar dian. O Allāh! Befriend the one who befriends him and be the enemy of one who is his enemy.”

Ibn Mājah: Sound hadīth in preface (almuqaddimah) to his Sunan (1:88 # 116); Ibn Kathīr, al-Bidāyah wan-nihāyah (4:168); Hindī, Kanz-ul-‘ummāl (11:602 # 32904); Ibn ‘Asākir, Tārīkh Dimashq al-kabīr (45:167, 168);Ibn ‘Abī‘Āsim briefly mentioned in as-Sunnah (p.603 # 1362).

Quran: Surah Tahreem: 4 فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ مَوْلَاهُ وَجِبْرِيلُ وَصَالِحُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ظَهِيرٌ "So surely Allah is the One Who is his MOLA and Jibril (Gabriel) is his MOLA and the most pious believers and after them (all) angels too are (his) MOLA."

In hadith above (& many others), RasoolAllah (Saw) himself declared Syedna Mola Ali (kaw) the MOLA for the entire ummah in very clear wordings. 

Read Arabic wordings of the above mentioned ayah of Quran, Allah (swt) calls himself MOLA, declared JIBRIL MOLA, declared Pious beleivers MOLA and all the angels are MOLA TOO!!

I am hoping by now you can compare what you've been taught and what Quran/Sahih hadith says about Syedna MOLA Ali (ra). If calling MOLA ALI (ra)..... MOLA.....is SHIRK then Naudhubillah Sahaba kram (ra), RasoolAllah (saw) and Allah (awj) himself are teaching SHIRK-E-Azeem in Quran/hadith!!!!! (Naudhubillah min dhalik)

Last but not least, People who have the above objection doesnt have a problem calling Syedna Siddique Akbar (ra).....Siddique AKBAR. For argument sake, didnt the same thought crossed their mind that "ONLY ALLAH is AKBAR"? & if we accept the above mentioned ideology, calling Syedna Abi Bakr Siqqidue AKBAR should be shirk too? (Naudhubillah)

BTW, I dont have problem with Syedna Abi Bakr Siddique (ra) calling Siddique Akbar because RasoolAllah (Saw) himself called him that & he is indeed the greatest friend EVER! The BEST in the ummah! I'd die happily if I could be khadim of one of his khuddam for the rest of my life. Fidaka umi wa abi ya Abi Bakr as-siddique(ra)

Siddique Akbar means The greatest friend. Mola Mushkil Kusha means The helper in solving problems. 

As per the above mentioned Quranic Ayah, if Awlia/Jibreel/Angels can be MOLA, why NOT Ali (ra)? Clearly they dont include him in their PIOUS BELIVERS LIST! 

Its time, one should evaluate his own state of mind instead of labelling others KAFIR/MUSHRIK!!!!!

The Miracle of Tawaf and Zamzam

Pilgrim from Somalia has regained his ability to hear and speak after 29 years

 MAKKAH: In what a doctor described as a miracle, a pilgrim from Somalia has regained his ability to hear and speak some 29 years after he lost both senses when he was shot during the turbulence in his homeland.

Ali Abdula Rahman Sharif said his hearing and speaking abilities started to appear gradually Saturday after he finished Tawaf Al- Qudoom, the first circling of Holy Ka’ba, and drank Zamzam water.

He said that about 29 years ago, when he was working as an accounting manager, he was shot during the civil war in his country and lost his ability to speak and hear.He decided to move to Great Britain, where he consulted a number of specialist doctors, but they told him there was no hope and that he would never hear or speak again.“I decided not to go back to Somalia, the place where I lost those very precious senses, and lived in Britain with my wife and my four sons,” he said.

“I have benefited a lot from the special centers and societies for disabled people and learned the sign and body languages. The authorities at those centers also provided me with an identity card for disabled people to facilitate communicating with others.”

“Alhamdolillah, now I don’t need such a card. After I finished my Tawaf around Ka’ba, the most sacred figure in the world, I removed my Ihram and drank some cups of Zamam water. Then I headed toward the WC area in the southern piazzas of Grand Mosque. After I went out of the WC area, I was shocked when I could hear the voice of the muezzin calling for Fajr (dawn) prayer. I hurriedly rushed toward my colleagues and mates in the group and told them ‘I can hear. I can hear.’ I could notice the mixture of extreme surprise and happiness on their faces,” he said.

Abdul Samad Muhammad, Director of the Haj Mission, said he was totally surprised to see Sharif speaking and hearing.

Muhammad pointed out that during the journey from Britain to Jeddah, Sharif was used to write down when he wanted to communicate with the flight attendants. “I could not believe what happened until I personally listened to Sharif talking and communicating with me and the others like any normal person,” he said.

“We took him to Ajyad Hospital in Makkah to check his hearing and speaking and the doctors diagnosed them as very normal and healthy.

”Dr. Mohammad Ghazali, an ENT specialist, said this is a very rare case, a miracle and the will of Allah. “Some deaf patients can retrieve their sense of hearing within no more than six months, but Sharif’s case is very unique,” Ghazali added.
