			Salam aleikum, wa Rahmatullah. The other day, I saw a very beautiful and inspirational video on an
Instagram real, one of our uncle's May Allah bless him. He was in a very beautiful place next to the
riverbank. And he was offering his prayer. He wasn't distracted by all the beauty around him, he
focused on making sure he fulfilled his right his obligation upon him as a Muslim by praying, and
this video at that time had almost 300,000 views. Now the problem in the video is that when you look
at how he prayed, his prayer is bolted. Meaning that it's nullified. It's not correct. It's not
acceptable to pray in the manner he prayed in. Why is this? I'm going to explain but first, let's
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			watch the video together.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:01:28
			If any of you have studied fish before, you know what I'm talking about when we say his prayer was
not correct, why wasn't it correct? You can see when he was in his record, he didn't stand all the
way up like you have to. He stood a little went like this a little bit and then went straight down
into sujood. And this is not correct, and it nullifies the prayer, how do we know this? This is
taken from the hadith of our beloved prophet it set out to a tsunami that was narrated and say
Behati and Sahih Muslim, the Hadith known as El musi salata who, the man who prayed badly, this man
entered to the into the masjid, and he prayed in a way that wasn't correct. Similar to what we're
		
00:01:28 --> 00:02:03
			seeing here now not fulfilling the movements as it must be done. And the Prophet alayhi salatu salam
after the man came to him and said, I said, I'm on equal. He said, I like him said, I'm the Prophet.
It stood out to us. I'm told him, it'll jet for suddenly for in Nicola to Sunday. He said, Go back
and pray, because Verily you haven't prayed. So the man went back and prayed a second time came back
the same scenario he said, Aerojet for Salif and Nicola to slowly go back and pray because very you
have not prayed. And a third time he told him the same thing, I leased it out to a Salam. And the
man said, he said, don't know how to pray any better than this. Please teach me. So the Prophet
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:43
			alayhi salatu salam, he taught him from the tech behind each moment, when he came to the Roku, Ali
salatu salam, he said to make RUCO had set up my inner rock and until you are relaxed at ease in
your record, not in a hurry. It's not a race. And then he said, you stand up from the Royal Court
hat and they'll call him until you stand up completely properly, meaning that each bone is going to
go back to its natural position, and a standing position as the scholar has said, enough time for
you to say send me Hola Hola, Mohamed, it can't be fast. To make it clear. Let me show you what I'm
talking about. So as it came in the Hadith, we're going down to RUCO Allahu Akbar, until we come
		
00:02:43 --> 00:03:25
			here, relaxed and record, not in a hurry. And then send me Allahu Lehmann how many there were
standing up, I was standing up all the bones in the body back to its place long enough to say send
me Allah who live in Hamedan. And that's why the Scholars mentioned the one who prays in this
fashion where he doesn't stand up all the way like he has to that his prayer is Bothell that it's
not a fight. It's not going to be accepted. And I'm going to read to you what Imam ignore Perdana
Rahim Allah in his book and Logan, he said, he said that these are known as an Archon. The essential
components are the pillars of the prayer. He said that they cannot be left, whether it's done armed
		
00:03:25 --> 00:04:04
			or out of soul, than if it's done out of on purpose. Or if it's done out of forgetfulness, that
they're not forgiven, they must be completed or the prayer is not going to be accepted. And he said
that the delille the evidence for this is the hadith of Abu Huraira and the Hadith of the men and
musi Salah to who the one who didn't pray properly. He said because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said to the man, lamb to suddenly that you haven't prayed, and he ordered him to do the
prayer again, pay attention. This is very important, because I know some people might bring the
other opinion they'll say that, okay, the majority of the scholars, Maliki Shafi and humbly there's
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:40
			what they say. But in the Hanafi madhhab. This movement coming up is considered what considered to
be from the Sunnah, sunnah, and not a rookin. Not an essential component, not a pillar, but when
you're in a country where the you're around other Muslims like us in the West, you're seeing
different methods, different movements. Why does no one else do that except for your people? That
makes you have to ask yourselves, so you go and you learn, like we said the Hadith and saying, Well,
why didn't say Muslim? So it's clear that it's not going to be accepted. Will this individual be
forgiven out of out of ignorance? We hope so. We hope so. And also because he's following a certain
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:59
			method, maybe he thinks it's not something that he should be doing. But it's important for us as
we're learning as we're in our objective of videos like this and that's talking about the brother
himself. May Allah accept from him horrible enemy mentioned the beginning. He's in a place that's
beautiful. Most people be distracted. He didn't forget his prayer, something beautiful. Therefore,
it's important, my dear brothers and sisters that we don't just take our is
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:41
			lamb how we learned our prayer as we saw a mama and Baba and the tribe, you know in our uncles doing
it, we have to go back and we have to learn directly from the sunnah of our beloved Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wasallam who told us who told us clearly that he said so Luca or a tomato Salim
pray, as you have seen me pray, how can we pray? According to how we saw him we don't see him we
have to go back to his sunnah. And two books I would recommend when it comes to the prayer of the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam and inshallah we'll look online if I can find them I'll put a link in the
description below is the description of the prophets prayer by Sheffield banning Rahim Allah Tala
		
00:05:41 --> 00:06:18
			which goes into detail directly from the from the Sunnah. And also description the prophets prayer
Chevon bas Rahim Allah outside I think that probably Shabazz book is a bit easier and shorter so you
can start with that and Shannon and take some other things from what Jeff everybody mentioned his
book, The Odyssey we study fit on of us, like we said, from the meth lab is nothing wrong with that,
but we have to take out the time to learn how to especially something we're doing five times a day,
how many times we can do it and a year and a lifetime. Make sure that we're praying as the prophet
some of them ordered as as just as he prayed according to his sunnah in shadow Tala Zachman will
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
