Hence, as a result, we perform our fardh salaah in a deficient manner (without any concentration and devotion).<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" dir=\"RTL\" style=\"text-align: center; font-family: 'Traditional Arabic'; font-size: 16pt;\">\u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u0645 \u0625\u0646\u064a \u0623\u0633\u0626\u0644\u0643 \u062a\u0645\u0627\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u0648\u0636\u0648\u0621 \u0648\u062a\u0645\u0627\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u0635\u0644\u0627\u0629 \u0648\u062a\u0645\u0627\u0645 \u0631\u0636\u0648\u0627\u0646\u0643 \u2013 \u0622\u0645\u064a\u0646<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>O Allah!
