Amal-e-Katheer (excessive movement) refers to that act of a person praying which is not for the correction of the prayer, nor is it among the acts of the prayer, and it is done in such a manner that a sudden onlooker would think that this person is not in prayer. Such an act invalidates the prayer. Many people commit Amal-e-Katheer in prayer, due to which their prayer becomes invalid, but due to not knowing this definition of Amal-e-Katheer, they think that their prayer is valid. Therefore, one should stand in prayer with complete tranquility and calmness. (Tabyin al-Haqa'iq: 1/412) (Derived from: Darsi wa Talimi Aham Masail, pg: 112)
Three Positions Regarding Israel in the Current Era
In the current era, three positions exist regarding Israel: Number (1) Israel, America, etc.: Their position is that: whatever part of Palestine Israel occupies, including Jerusalem (Bayt al-Muqaddas), is part of Israel. Wherever the exiled Palestinians go, there is no place for them in Palestine. Jerusalem will be the capital of Israel. Number (2) Turkey, Jordan, Egypt: Those Islamic countries that have recognized Israel, their position is that: Israel should remain within the area and boundaries fixed for it by the United Nations in 1948, and it should free Jerusalem and the rest of Palestine. Those are not part of Israel. Number (3) Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, etc.: Those countries that have not recognized the illegitimate existence of Israel at all. Their position is that: the Jews must end their usurping occupation of the entire Palestine. They possess citizenships of European countries. They should return to wherever they came from to Palestine in 1922 and after that. And the solution to the Palestine issue should be resolved based on the 1917 position instead of 1948, when the Ottoman Caliphate was in power and no Jew was permitted to reside permanently inside Palestine.
