Ruling
on the Ṣalāĥ in which a traveller stands up to offer third Rak'at
If a traveller starts the third
Rak'at in his Qaṣr Ṣalāĥ then there are two possibilities:
1. If he has already sat for the Qa'dah
Akhīraĥ (i.e., final sitting) [after the second Rak'at] for as long as it takes
to recite the Tashaĥĥud, he must revert to the Qa'dah position provided he has
not yet offered the Sajdaĥ of the third Rak'at. He is then required to perform
Sajdaĥ Sahw and Salām [to finish his Ṣalāĥ]. And if he did not revert and
offered Salām while standing, even then his Ṣalāĥ would be valid, but a Sunnaĥ
would get missed.
If he has offered Sajdaĥ of the
third Rak'at then he must add another Rak'at [to make it four] and finish it
after performing Sajdaĥ Sahw. In this case, the last two Rak'āt will be
regarded as Nafl.
2. If he has stood up without sitting
for the Qa'dah Akhīraĥ [after the second Rak'at] then as long as he has not
offered the Sajdaĥ of the third Rak'at, he must revert to the Qa'dah, perform
Sajdaĥ Sahw and then offer Salām.
If he has offered the Sajdaĥ of the
third Rak'at [without sitting in Qa'dah after the second Rak'at, then his] Farḍ
will become invalid. Now, he should add another Rak'at [to make it four] and
offer Sajdaĥ Sahw and complete his Ṣalāĥ. All these four Rak'āt will be
regarded as Nafl. (Offering two Rak'āt of Farḍ still remains an obligation for
him).

Qaḍā Ṣalāĥ
and the journey
The Ṣalāĥ missed in the state of
being a resident will have to be offered as Qaḍā with complete number of Rak'āt
without being shortened even during a journey. Likewise, the Ṣalāĥ missed
during a journey [as a traveller] will have to be offered as Qaḍā with Qaṣr
(i.e., shortening) even after becoming a resident.

Drops
of Mercy Fell on Me As Well
An Islamic brother of Korangi,
Bāb-ul-Madina Karachi (approx. 22 years old) makes the following statement:
Unfortunately! I had indulged in
many evils such as missing Ṣalāĥ, watching film and dramas, fashion and company
of wicked friends. I was a spoilt youngster whose precious life was passing in
sins. The crescent of Ramaḍān (1426 A.H.) appeared and the rain of Allah's
mercy began to shower. Some drops of mercy showered on me as well and I
performed collective I'tikāf during the last ten days of Ramadan in the Karimia
Qadiriyyaĥ Masjid of Korangi, Bāb-ul-Madina Karachi.
The prolonged dark night of my
life's autumn began to turn into the bright morning of the spring. اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہ عَزَّوَجَلَّ participation in the
collective I'tikaf changed my life-style altogether; I not only repented of all
the sins, began to offer Ṣalāĥ, grew beard, began to wear the turban but I also
travelled with a 30 days Sunnaĥ-inspiring Madanī Qafilaĥ of Dawat-e-Islami, the
international non-political religious movement of the Quran and Sunnaĥ in the
company of the Prophet's lovers in order to learn sunnah.
اَلْحَمْدُ
لِلّٰہ عَزَّوَجَلَّ at
this moment in time, I am carrying out the Madanī work of Dawat-e-Islami as a
Zeli Qafilaĥ Zimmadār in a Masjid.

Method
of Missed Ṣalāĥ*
Excellence
of Durūd Sharīf
The Prophet of mankind, the peace of
our heart and mind, the most generous and kind صَلَّى
اللّٰہ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, "Reciting
Durūd upon me is refulgence on the bridge of Ṣirāṭ. The one reciting Durūd upon
me eighty times on Friday, his eighty years' sins will be forgiven."
(Al-Jami'us-Ṣagīr, pp.
320, Ḥadīš 5191)

The 4th and 5th verses of Sūraĥ
Mā'ūn (Section 30) warn as under:
فَوَيْلٌ لِّلْمُصَلِّيْنَۙ ۞ الَّذِيْنَ هُمْ
عَنْ صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُوْنَ ۞
So woe to
those performers of Ṣalāĥ. Who are neglectful of their Ṣalāĥ.
Mufassir-e-Shahīr, Hakeem-ul-Ummat,
Ḥaḍrat Mufti Ahmad Yār Khān عَلَيْهِ رَحْمَةُ اللّٰہِ
الْقَنِيّ states regarding Ayah No. 5, "There are some cases of
heedlessness: never offering the Ṣalāĥ, offering the Ṣalāĥ irregularly, not
offering the Ṣalāĥ at proper time, offering the Ṣalāĥ by incorrect method,
offering the Ṣalāĥ without taking interest, offering the Ṣalāĥ without
contemplation, offering the Ṣalāĥ lazily and carelessly."
(Nūr-ul-'Irfān, p.
958)
*According to Ḥanafī Doctrine
Horrible
Valley of Hell
There is a mention of the word
"Wail" in verse number 4. Ṣadr-ush-Sharī'aĥ Ḥaḍrat Maulānā Muḥammad
Amjad 'Alī A'ẓamī رَحْمَةُ اللّٰہِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه
says, "In Hell, there is a valley that is so horrific that even Hell
itself seeks refuge from its severity. This valley is called "Wail"
and it is for those who miss their Ṣalāĥ deliberately."
(Bahār-e-Sharī'at,
vol. 1, pp. 347)
Mountains
would Melt Down due to Heat
Ḥaḍrat Sayyidunā Imām Muḥammad bin
Aḥmad Żaĥabī رَحْمَةُ اللّٰہِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه
says, "It has been said that there is a valley in Hell bearing the name
'Wail'. If even mountains of the world are put into it, they would melt due to
its heat. It is the abode of those who are sluggish in their Ṣalāĥ and offer
Ṣalāĥ beyond stipulated time making it Qaḍā, unless they feel ashamed of their
recklessness and repent in the court of Allāĥ عَزَّوَجَلَّ."
(Kitāb-ul-Kabāir, p.
19)
The
Torment of Head-Crushing
The beloved and blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰہ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم
said to his blessed companions رَضِیَ اللّٰہ تَعَالٰی
عَنْهُمْ, "Two angels (Jibrāīl and Mīkāīl) عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَام came to me tonight and took me to the
sanctified land where I saw that a person was lying and another person was standing
by his head holding a stone. The standing person was repeatedly crushing his
head with the stone and every time his head would heal. I asked the angels, 'سُبْحَانَ اللّٰہ عَزَّوَجَلَّ who is he?' They
requested me to proceed further (and after showing me other scenarios of
torment) they answered, 'The first person you saw was the one who had abandoned
the Quran having read it and would sleep at the time of Farḍ Ṣalāĥ, (so) he
will be punished like that until the Day of Judgement'."
(Ṣaḥīḥ Bukhārī, pp.
425, vol. 4, Ḥadīš 7047)
