The Ahaadith mention that there is a group of angels who are such that they perpetually remain in ruku, and they will remain in ruku until Qiyaamah. Then, there is another group who perpetually remain in sajdah, and there is another group who perpetually remain in qiyaam.<\/p>\n<p>Allah Ta\u2018ala has honoured the believer in this way that He has combined all these postures in two rakaats of salaah, so that we may get a share from each form of worship of the angels. Reciting the Qur\u2019aan Majeed in salaah is an extra act of worship, over and above their type of ibaadah.<\/p>\n<p>When salaah is the combination of all the various forms of worship of the angels, then the beauty of the salaah will be easily acquired by the one who adopts the qualities of the angels.<\/p>\n<p>It is for this reason that Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) said, \u201cKeep your back and stomach light for salaah.\u201d The meaning of \u201ckeeping the back light\u201d is that a person leaves all disputes behind him, and it is clear that the meaning of \u201ckeeping the stomach light\u201d is that one should not overeat, as this creates lethargy and laziness.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Fazaa\u2019il-e-A\u2019maal [Urdu] pg. 375)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hazrat Shaikh Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya (rahmatullahi \u2018alaih) mentioned in Fazaa\u2019il-e-A\u2019maal: There are many verses of the Qur\u2019aan Majeed and many Ahaadith which mention that the Malaa\u2019ikah (angels) remain perpetually engaged in ibaadah (the worship of Allah Ta\u2018ala).
