Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Your Questions Answered (volume 1) Q61: What Are the Rules Concerning White Secretion From Woman If It Is Not Connected With Sexual Act Or Thought? A. If it has not come out as a result of sexual act or thought then it is not Najis. But she should see her Doctor to make sure that her health is all right. Q62: The sweat produced on human body after masturbation but before "Ghusl" is najis.

Is the sweat produced after night ejaculations during dream (wetbed) najis also? A. No - And, according to the Fatwa of Agha-e-Khoui, even the sweat produced during or after unlawful Janabat is not Najis. But if that sweat is on the body or cloth, Namaz will not be valid. Q63: Why do Muslims pray five times a day? A. The Holy Prophet once asked his companions that if a man had his house on a river-bank and bathed properly in that river 5 times a day, would there remain any dirt on his body?

The companions replied : "No, O Prophet of Allah, he would remain absolutely clean. There would be no dirt on his body". The Holy Prophet said : "The daily prayers of 5 times are like that river and if a Muslim properly prays 5 times a day there would remain no dirt of sin or immorality on him". The same thing has been accepted by many Christian writers like Rev. James Muller and Mr. C. M. King.

The latter writes that by nature, when a man is engaged in worldly affairs or entertainments, he pays no attention to his moral development; and some entertainments by their nature make the man forget God.

When I think how Islam has made its followers obliged to pray 5 times in a day and night and has ordered them to discharge this duty in all conditions, I have to admit that the Muslim's prayer certainly is the best way of guidance, as it removes unhealthy thoughts from minds after short intervals. When the time comes to pray and the Muslims gather Into the Mosque to pray, they become bound by sincerity, love and unity, and prayer creates in them the humility and modesty.

When rich and poor stand together to pray, it demonstrates the equality of Islam. Q64: I always pray with sincere intention and wish but I cannot concentrate while praying. So, are my prayers accepted and valid? Will I ever be able to concentrate? I try very hard but in vain? A. Your prayer is alright. Try to think about the meanings of the words you recite. I think in this way you may be able to concentrate more and more on the prayers.
