Umyalo Onyulu: uNkulunkulu Nezingelosi Zakhe Bathumela Izibusiso

﴿إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا﴾

Nakanjani, uNkulunkulu nezingelosi zakhe bathumela izibusiso kuMprofethi. Nina enikholwayo, nikhulekele [ukuze uNkulunkulu amnike] izibusiso kuye futhi nimcele [ukuze anikeze] ukuthula kuye. (Quran 33:56)

Umkhuba we-Salawat akuwona nje umkhuba wamasiko — uvela njengomyalo oqondile kaNkulunkulu eQur'ani. Kulesi vesi, uNkulunkulu uveza ukuthi yena uqobo kanye nezingelosi zakhe bathumela izibusiso kuMprofethi, futhi umema abakholwayo ukuba bahlanganyele kulesi senzo sasezulwini.

USheikh Abdullah Siraj al-Din uchaza ukuthi ivesi liqukethe izinhlobo ezimbili zezindaba (khabar) ngaphambi komyalo: okokuqala ukuthi uNkulunkulu uqobo uthumela izibusiso (salah) kuMprofethi — okusho umusa wakhe, ukuphakanyiswa, nokumdumisa eNdaweni Ephakeme (al-Mala' al-A'la); okwesibili ukuthi zonke izingelosi, ngaphandle kokungabaza, nazo zithumela izibusiso kuye — okusho imikhuleko yazo nokufuna intethelelo egameni lakhe. Ukusetshenziswa kwesikhathi samanje (yusalluna, يُصَلُّون) kukhombisa ukuthi leli busiso liqhubekayo, lihlala njalo, alikaze linqamuke.

Izazi zikhomba ukuthi lokhu kungenye yezimo ezikhethekile eQur'ani lapho uNkulunkulu echaza isenzo asenzayo bese emema abantu ukuba bahlanganyele kulo — udumo olukhethekile olungekaze lunikwe olunye uhlobo lomkhuleko ngalendlela.

• Okuvela kuNkulunkulu: i-salah yakhe kuMprofethi isho umusa, ukwaneliseka kukaNkulunkulu, nokumdumisa eNdaweni Ephakeme (al-Mala' al-A'la).
• Okuvela Ezingelosi: i-salah yazo isho ukukhuleka okuqhubekayo nokufuna intethelelo egameni lakhe.
• Okuvela Kubakholwayo: i-salah yabo isho imikhuleko kuNkulunkulu bemcela ukuthi ambusise futhi amphakamise uMprofethi.
• Lo myalo ubhekiswe kubo bonke abakholwayo kuzo zonke izikhathi nezindawo — okwenza kube umthwalo womhlaba wonke, ongapheli.
