A few forgiven and feel compelled to really commit
diligence before I'm gonna work salatu salam ala send you a new
stuff up. So a lot of data on EMR that add salt. Although until
Sunday went to sleep we could feel like we remember met irrespective
brothers.
Today it's not about
I think it's probably more important than about three lakes
to
what I'm going to speak about today will actually relate to
you one of the actions that will be asked about first thing in the
Hereafter. And that is
we frequently hear about the importance of solid and that's
something which is ingrained in all of our minds. I mean, we've
made an effort to come up with a solid philosophy, especially in
the month of Ramadan, we've made an effort to come to the masjid to
pray our salah,
because there's an extra reward for that site. Regardless of where
anybody performs this or that and their prayer, whether you perform
it at home or at work, or somewhere when you're traveling,
maybe at some service station, or at home, or in the masjid, there
are certain
conditions that have to be met. And there are some issues in the
prayer which
need to be really taken into consideration because they seem to
be commonly mistaken issues or people are commonly making
mistakes in those issues. CSOD is something that we do five times a
day. So what happens in solid is that very few of us will actually
concentrate on our solid, every single solid, every single record
every single word that we do.
Many of the time, many of our solids, unfortunately, are
performed by auto pilot.
It's a really sad case, but they performed the auto pilots, Allahu
Akbar.
And the next time that we know it, Estella morning, that's when we
wake up. We're so used to pray, therefore reduced to performing
our slots. Were such professionals at doing it that we can actually
do it absentmindedly. Right, we can actually be thinking about
that and our entire stories or running our business or planning
the next trip, or whatever it is, and the actions of the salaat will
ensue from our limbs because we're so professional doing it.
I know one person who finishes the reading of a Quran every single
day, not just in the month of Ramadan, but outside the mountain.
He's able to complete an entire Quran in one day. And he does this
day in and day out. He works at a post office sorting center. And
the job there is so mundane. And he's such a good half of the Quran
that he can actually just read and absentmindedly be doing his work.
I'm sure he's not absent minded, you know. But the thing about the
solid is that we put it we become so proficient at praying that we
sometimes don't concentrate. And when we don't concentrate.
I've had this interaction with my son as well. Right? Sometimes he's
noticed me doing something, I've noticed him finishing much
quicker. And he's praying next to me. And I know that I've read very
fast and how can you have done it faster than me? How can you have
gone into the ripple faster than me? Then upon thinking about it,
we discovered that what happens sometimes is that, for example,
you got you start the pregnancy at 100 alive on the anatomy in a rock
nine, or
sometimes what some people do is that they actually missing up to
three eyes.
But they don't realize it somehow the skipping from one eye to
another one, they're missing all three eyes, and that's why they're
doing it faster.
They don't realize it because we're not concentrating on what
we're reading.
So it's become a habit.
Sometimes it becomes a habit that we're not even speaking aloud.
We're not reading, we're actually thinking, so you see the person
standing in prayer, and he's like
that Salah is not valid.
I explained these points in specific detail afterwards. But
there is a need to think about our prayer. There's probably also a
need to actually get somebody else to observe our prayer sometimes
say, can you notice anything? In terms of the postures that we do?
Are we bending down enough? Are we
are we repurposing enough between the
different postures to fulfill the variety of organs.
So that's something that we need to really think about, because
it's our salats. And I think about salah is that it's so frequent.
And that is the challenge in it. Because it's so frequent can we be
concentrating at every point of it. And that is the best solitary
person can ever do is the one that you will eventually be
concentrating on every aspect of it. According to some, some
scholars,
the football will just tell you, as long as you fulfill these
certain obligations, you started to spell it. But the scholars of
the heart that look beyond just the 50 aspects of things, they
will there's one opinion of one scholar is that if you have not
thought about Allah, and you have not been conscious of your prayer,
in every single posture of it, then you solid is invalid. Which
means that if we didn't one of the frustrations, one of the such does
absent mindedly, we were we were just happened to be daydreaming,
then our Salah is invalid, according to them. I mean, we
could say it's deficient, but from a fakie perspective, you will not
be invalid. As long as you fulfill a certain certain
certain criteria, certain conditions are met, then aside
will be valid. Here are some of the most common issues that we
deal with. And I want us to listen to them. I want us to reflect over
our own prayers and try to see if we're doing if we're doing this in
our own church. And it's very difficult to discover that in your
own prayers, and figure an example, once,
after the tar is. And before the winter prayer, I mentioned that
many people have a habit of placing their forearms on the
ground in such them. And that is prohibited. There's very clear
Hadith about that. In Muslim Sahih Muslim is made very clear that do
not lay your forearms on the ground, like adopt us. As bad as
that that's how that's what works and loves himself. So I mentioned
that many people have a habit of doing this. So what then happens
is what I mentioned that everybody when they pray in return, now it
was Ramadan, when we're praying, whittled down.
If you have noticed, don't look at it for that purpose. But if you
notice that your neighbor is doing that remind him after the Salah
nicely, right. So we did this as a group effort, I finished a salad I
turned around, I saw one man, an older person, right. And the next
person is telling him that your arm was on the ground, the person
was looking at him in disbelief. I just mentioned that before the
winter started that don't do this. And he thought he wasn't doing it.
And he's done it so absentmindedly that his neighbor was now
reminding him and he was like in disbelief to hearing you do that.
So that's why I said it's very difficult because we're so used to
it, we just Allahu Akbar. And we get into this rhythm, and we
finish our prayer. So it's something to think about maybe
even ask others to, to tell us it's related about Hassan per se,
or the Allah and even notice that somebody wasn't making this up
properly, in a sense that
his origin his movements, and everything wasn't really proper.
Now how can you go to an older person say your salad isn't right?
So what they told him was that we want you to see which one of us
prays a better prayer, because we've got a bit of a difference of
opinion about that. Can you observe my our prayer and see
which is better? I'm not sure that the way they prayed. So it made
the person reflect and he corrected his prayer. So there are
always ways of doing this. The first thing I'd like to clarify
beforehand, I mean, we don't have time to go into an in depth
discussion about all the aspects but one thing is many people that
have a bath, I mean, this is about the heart. This is about purity,
many people will have above
a whistle, where all of their body will become wet with their mouth
and nose included. And then they'll be asking, Do I still have
to do will do.
They've just done a whistle. But then they're asked do I still have
to do for the prayer in the Hanafi school you don't have to do that.
Once the parts of the body that should be washed in wudu become
washed become wet. In fact, whether you like it or not,
whether by default or by accident or whatever the cases were, you
know you were in a downpour of rain and your arms your face your
head and your feet became wet. It your will do is done whether you
like it or not you can you know you can refuse and say no but it
will be done. Because Nia is not necessarily the Hanafi school for
will do in the Shafi school and be a difference. It'll be a different
opinion. In the Shafi school, you have to have an intention that
that is part of my will do likewise in America as well. So in
the Hanafi school, it's quite simple in the sense that once it
becomes washed, whether you're doing wholesale or whatever it is,
once those parts become washed, you don't have to do anymore, you
will do is done. When you start the solids.
There is obviously the intention and everything. But the main The
one thing is when we when we start our solids, you see some people
they do these weird styles when they pray, right? Some people you
know they've got Allahu Akbar.
They do a bit more flair. I'm not able to do so elegantly, you know
they'd like, you know that they've got this really weird way of doing
it. That is,
that's not necessary. It's just straight from the IRS to write
however you title. But you know, this kind of thing is, is not
necessary. It's just a habit that somebody may have observed
somebody else do it and don't know if you're doing it, it's something
to think about, right?
Likewise, you know,
all these weird ways that people do you need to avoid them. It's a
straightforward law.
Right? It's just
another thing is that when we start our prayer, right, when we
start our salaat,
it mentioned very clearly that Allahu Akbar that we say that can
be received to enter the prayer, that first one is a thought it's
an integral of the salaat. Which means, if you didn't say it,
if you set it in your mind,
which means you did not utter it with your tongue, your thought
would not have even begun, even though you're doing all the
postures. Now, when look, COVID That could be that's what they say
that it has to be articulated. That's why make an effort make it
a point that when you start your salad, but that first one, you say
Allahu Akbar, to try to listen to yourself that you say it loud
enough to hear yourself that way, it's definitely so it needs to be
articulated along, not that loud, but you know,
loud enough that you yourself can hear
them after that they still are, this is very important.
Part of the integrals of the credit Arcana of the credit the
absolute pillars of the prayer without which the pillar is
without which the Prayer is not valid, what is the what is
reciting something, right part of sort of Fatiha a surah, whatever
recitation number two is recall, frustration. Number three is are
the two centers, right, and number four, sorry, one one I missed out
is the standing as well, the standing is a fourth as well. And
then number five will be sitting as long as it takes to recite a
shadow, a tiny
collage,
that long, however long that is for each person for that moment to
sit in the right spot, that is also a fault. So these are the
four many of the other things I want you to read, I read the
Fatiha first to read the sort of afterwards to make sure that they
read in the first two records of a fallen prey and all the records of
another prayer or similar prayer, check to make sure that the sort
of comes after the Fatiha. And then the test we had, for example,
Subhan Allah be against those are most data. And similar to read
what's at least, and that so those are not five, but the main find
the five and that's why we have to be really careful to standing
everybody stands. But in one case, people will make a mistake in
this, you've just come into the masjid and you find that the Imam
is just an Allahu Akbar and going into the coup. Now we know that
the ruling is that if you catch the imam in ruku, you've caught
that because if you catch the Imam after that, that regard of you is
gone. And you have to repeat that reference. So what a lot of people
do is that when they say that the Imam is no good, they will rush to
do this, then it's not right to do this. It's been prohibited to run
in the masjid for this purpose. The wrestlers have said very
clearly that just take it easy. Whatever you can shoot for in our
data you make up afterwards, on one occasion that you mentioned in
the movie, the person came in from the back. And he saw that the Imam
had gone into the pool. So he started his prayer at the back,
went into court and then like that he went forward.
Right, quite a few stuffs quite a few rows. He went forward like
that. I probably saw some explain to him afterwards that Okay, this
time, it's fine. But this is not allowed to do that. So that was
still being is still evolving at that time initiative was
permissible to speak in prayer. After that he became impermissible
on one occasion after it become an impermissible. One Sahabi came in.
He came in late, he asked the person is a how many how many
requests have you done? People used to ask that before, right?
Because it was permissible in the beginning. So he asked and the
person did not respond to him. So you got quite upset. Why isn't he
responding to me is he got a problem with me or something.
After that it was announced that this is now speaking inside has
become prohibitive. So slowly, slowly, the slot came to be what
we see as it is today. Otherwise, in the beginning, including some
rewired, you're raising your hands before even such that in between
the search there as well seven times seven times in one worker,
you raise your hands, according to some variations, as mentioned in
the shuffle barn in authority about the hobby. So eventually it
came to be as we see it today, right with the differences that we
still see.
So now you just come in. Number one, you should not rush. You
should stick it easy and get there. Now what happens in many
cases is that if the Imam has just gone into a coup, what some people
do is they say, Allahu Akbar, and they go directly into loco with
that Allah
that is not valid. The reason is that when you start the prayer
that that bill has to be said in the standing
that they earn. So that at least your Pm you which means you're
standing for has been absolved in this regard. So essentially, this
is what you would have to display the fastest that you could do it,
right? Allahu Akbar, Allah.
That you could not say Allahu Akbar, because that your Allahu
Akbar is then going to be counted for willing to report you have not
said standing up. You don't have to say Allahu Akbar. And then
wait. You can, as long as you say the full Allah, Allah, Allah,
Allah Akbar. And then, so you said, standing up, that's the
minimum, otherwise, your Salah is not valid, if you if you've jumped
into the pool straightaway, the second Allahu Akbar for are going
into a coup for for going into session and so on that sunnah. So
if you missed that, it wouldn't affect the prayer as much. So if
you just said, Allahu Akbar, and then you just went down
afterwards, that would be valid, even without saying the second
Allah, right to get that, right, because you have to say that
Allahu Akbar standing up, that is very important.
That's a major mistake that people make people make.
The next one is, now you started the salats
your own site, we're not bringing a handyman anymore, right? Because
we when the Imam is reciting, we don't read in the Hanafi. School,
we're told not to read, right. So we stay silent, and we just, you
can just concentrate on the facts. In your mind, you're not allowed
to read video talking about how to peaceful when the Imam is really
whether it's a sign up or down Salam agreeing to the strongest
opinion, whereas in the Shafi school and and other schools, you
have to read the fact that these quickly, and so on, that's another
issue. That's, you can read about the details of that elsewhere. But
the other thing I was speaking about is that let's say you're
making your Sunnah prayer, right, you're making your own the prayer,
Allahu Akbar. And then you're just standing there, you see, a lot of
people don't just literally stand there, they will, their tongue
will not move.
Right? If you're if your tongue does not move throughout that
regard, and you have not read at least one record with your tongue,
then your Salah is not valid. The reason is that reciting at least a
significant verse or three small verses is a pumpkin, every record,
or the first two records of a photo, every record also knows
nothing. You have to recite at least Alhamdulillah or behind me,
or, you know, some small amount. So if you haven't, if you've just
thought of it, there's a difference between reading and
thinking. We get really confused by the fact that when you read the
newspaper, nobody reads it aloud. Nobody moves their lives. If
somebody's reading a newspaper or a book, and they're, they're
moving their lips, you're gonna think the guy's crazy, right,
because normally that reading is just in your mind. But this is not
reading this is still our see in Arabic is two different words. One
is Pinot, and the other one is tilava topcoated. There's many
different words for this. What we're trying to do here is in our
until our means to actually articulate the letters of the
Quran with your tongue. But there are two opinions about what is the
minimal amount that will consider that will make your tilava to be
considered valid. What is the minimum amount at which you're
allowed, you will recite your recitation will be considered
valid.
The first opinion is that you must at least hear yourself.
According to that opinion, if we're reciting in our salaat, and
we're not listening, we can't hear ourselves. Now solid is invalid.
However, although that is an opinion, we should follow. There
is another opinion that we could go by if we've done this in the
past. The second opinion is a lesser opinion. What that opinion
is, is that as long as your tongue moves, as long as your tongue and
lips move, it's valid, even if you don't hear yourself. So if you're
saying
that is valid, even if you can't hear yourself, but if you're just
Oh, with a mouth open,
it's not valid, because that's not reading that's thinking, so you're
thinking through the fattier?
You know, that's not about it. If you've got a habit of doing that,
believe me, some people, I've seen cases where they've done this for
the last 20 years of their life.
And nobody's told them, and now they're discovered it.
Essentially, they have to do the tug of war of those prayers. If
they have not at least move their lips for at least one significant
iron in every raka then you should be really, really impressed. All
right. That's why it's so important to learn these rules.
What happens in many, many cases is that we learn these rules as
young children in madrasah is one of the first things that we get
taught. And after that we forget about it, but that time we're not
really conscious. We're not really focused on prayer. We know our
concentration isn't at that level. So I really think that as adults,
we should pick up a deep
Got a book on Salah and we should read it. Or we should take a class
really all of us, because there are many small small things that
we will discover small small things that we will discover that
may be critical inshallah we shouldn't be doing the critical
things I'm mentioning the critical things, right so inshallah we can
avoid them. And I think every one of us should go into their
families about all of these issues because it's solid and we don't
want it to be invalidated. Imagine somebody 2030 years, they're not
reading, you know, SubhanAllah. So you have to at least move your
lips. And the next option is that you can at least hear yourself,
but one of the two would suffice.
Another thing, which is a major problem among us, Indian,
Pakistani, Bangladeshi subcontinent people, right, I
don't know why.
I'm not sure if this is with other Hafeez as well, but especially the
Hanafi is of the Indian subcontinent, we've got a major
problem with this, which is that when people come up for report,
they don't really stand up properly. They go somewhere low
and even Hamidah
is just like really smooth, you know, go up and go back down,
don't stand, even between the two to two senators that you call that
the genocide. Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. In fact, some people don't
even set up properly, it just got Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar.
That one is not as critical as this recitation in the mind. But
it does. It's a missing of a logic.
So it's not a follow up issue, but it's a larger issue, which means
that every single saga of this person is deficient. And they
shouldn't be doing essentially that to some, these two sisters
that you do at the end, they shouldn't be doing that because
you're missing a word here, it's logical to do what they call
intimate none. This is called a non automatic Nina, which means
repose to become tranquil. The definition of this is that in
every posture, it is watching that every part of your body returns to
its place and becomes motionless. Which means in solid diversity,
something I'm loving even Hamida that I have to stand so that my
entire body is now repurposed in the sense that it's motionless
then I can go into motion if I just go like this and then I carry
on it means that I'm just using this as a transit and it's not
working
it's logic which means you must do something with the law and believe
me, maybe half of our people have this problem just what somebody's
been telling them nicely afterwards that this you know,
this is Vietnam issue we need to deal with this.
The two main places where this is a problem is where there is no
dispute. Well, there is a dispute but I don't know he just kind of
incorporated within that going up and going down. So certainly Allah
will even Hamidah Bella wala confirm that if you've got a
problem with this, extend your dispute. This will if you get a
habit if you develop a habit of reading a specific speed in that
time, then it will help you to stay motionless So somewhere along
the way
you can say Robin like I'm gonna work on
our Lord For You is all Praise. And for us all praise us editions
are Allahumma, Connecticut, Allah Moroccan or whatever. Or Abdullah
can handle handle cathedra on a given Mubarak, and
when occasion is the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam after
the Salah finished, he turned around he said that who is the one
among you that read this go up? Because somebody had just made
this dua up and read it. It was not something he heard from Rasul
Allah, Allah is from Ghana, Allah can handle handle fear on putting
even more garlic and so this service that I did, he said
ambroxol Lawson said I saw this number of angels rushing to see
who could write it down first in your book of good deeds. So that's
a longer one, which we should do,
especially when we're not in a hurry, and it will help us to
repose ourselves during that time. In between the two sisters, there
are also some mazahub doors that are mentioned there as well. We
should make a habit of them so that we also have reports between
the two sisters. So Allahu Akbar, and many of you will just love
them and quote a lover. In this case, he said, Allahu Akbar,
what's the dua for that? Does anybody know?
What honey Rafi was any less? There's two or three different
versions, but one of them is a little bit funny. Why haven't you
if you knew what Vinnie was certainly there's one which would
mean, but you can do a combination of any of these rights, Mr. Hub,
it's not so no, it's it's established, right in our body.
And the main thing is that it will help you to repose because that's
why, you know, why is this indo Pak problem?
I think the reason why it's an indo Pak problem, or Lavon, is
because it's not followed in our medical, it's not followed in 100
years to do that. repose in the Shafi is it's fun to do.
that. So, if they if in the Shafi school you did not say something
Allah and you did not stand motionless for a while, your Salah
to be valid in the hunter fees you can get away deficient becomes now
because it becomes incomplete, you lose your reward and it becomes
incomplete. But
it's still valid. Right? Where do we get this wrong is at least
which is rated by Mahalia, Muslim, famous Hadith. And many others
have really relate to this wrong and move around the Allah one
person Allah is and once entered into the masjid, and another
person also entered and began to make his swallows.
After he finished his surah, he came to the bottom of the oyster
meat set up the prophets of Allah Hardison responded to his salaam,
and then he said it a possibility for inoculum to suddenly go back
and make your salad again because you haven't prayed yet. Meaning
your prayers you haven't prayed. So the person went back and he
prayed just as it prayed the first time.
Then he comes back to the Rasul Allah tsunami salaam, again, and
the prophets of Allah in response to Salam. And then he says, in
Egypt for suddenly for independent to suddenly send you back, is that
going to go back and pray your solar year because you haven't
prayed your solid years? You did this three times. Now this person
then is wondering, what's the problem? Right, each time he went
and did the same thing, he came back and of course, the last
mistake is to go back. So the third time he comes back, and he
says to Roseanne, Allah, hi, you will send them by the one who sent
you with the truth.
I don't know how to do better than this. So teach me right. This is
the best that I can do. Now teach me what the issue is. So then the
promise that a lot of some said, when you start your prayer, let's
take a look. When you want to start your prayer, when you stand
for the prayer, say Allahu Akbar, say that to me, and then recite
whatever you have of the Quran, you know, Surah Surah Fatiha and
then after that, make your ruku from from aka heptathlon in the
rakia, then make record until you become
you become reposed in your in your frustration, which means you
become motionless in your Roku, right? You become motionless in
your Roku, and then raise yourself had data data or human until
you're fully straight.
Until you're fully straight, then make sense until you fully make
your system until you fully reposed in your frustration. And
then sit down have that document in journalism until you are fully
tranquil in your seating between the two searchers, do we do that?
That's something to think about. Right? So this is clearly from the
Hadith diary, this is not just, you know, somebody made this up
that is necessary, it is actually necessary. And then go and make a
second such that like that with that tranquility, and then do this
in all of your salons. Do this in all of your salons. Now, you
understand from this, the importance of this. Right now the
sharpies are taken not to it's not important, they've made it false.
Now, there is a response that the Hanafis have as to why the Bronx
the last time he was trying to teach him that's why he told me to
make it again, it's not the history was invalid. It was
incomplete, that sort of thing to redo it. The Shafi said that his
prayer was invalid. That's why it works. It works. I was telling him
to make it, make it again, right. So keep keep that in mind, because
that is extremely important.
What some people do is that they've managed to over time
incorporate the three sub 100 buildings within the whole
movement. Allah will of course,
be with me.
So the Subhanallah that SP is done in what is going down going down
what is done while down and the other one is done. So it's just
like we're very efficient. Lean Production, right? The whole hour.
14 Avila you can't do that in solid, solid. You just take time
and everything as though you're a beginner. Right as though you're a
beginner, that's very important.
Another thing that just came to mind is that when we stand in our
sauce, that's another problem. It's the man's responsibility to
make sure everybody suffers straight. Right. So normally the
first off is the first row is always going to be nicely tightly
packed. Because that was the important thing is is that the
shoulders are together. Because the promise that Olson said how do
you
level your shoulders together? When it comes to the feet? Think
about the feet, you have to realize is that there's one Hadith
in which the sahabi says and he was a youngster he was a child. At
that time. He says that when the brothers also told us to
straighten up, I noticed that the Sahaba we ended that everybody put
their feet together. Right. However, you do not find this
mentioned again, while in the Salah, you only find this
mentioned at the beginning to make the straight rows. There is no
mention of keeping the feet together in the silence. Right
absolutely not mentioned, in fact, in the narration of a Buddha would
certainly do that version of this narration it says that I saw
everybody joining their knees together as well. Nobody does
that. But what they're gonna have mentioned is that the purpose of
this
was in those days, they didn't have lines on the ground, you
know, we have machine washable, nicely marked lines on the ground,
then it was just pebble, sand, whatever it was, and you had to
form your straight. So one of the ways that they did this was to
lift their feet together to make sure that they were fulfilling
what Mr. Watson said, but you would never hear that they did
this. And in the prayer itself, there's no Hadith about that. So
essentially, if somebody wants to do it, they can do it. But don't
insist on it. There's people who go around insisting on this. And
if if somebody doesn't want to do it, because at the end of the day,
the Sunnah way of standing, is whatever is comfortable for a
person to standard. That's what is the maturity, the Hanafi, and the
Shafi schools, right? Joining the feet together, it's permissible if
you want to do it. Right. But there is no proof that it was done
in the prayer. Because if it was done in the president, what about
in the ruku? What about in the session, how you keep it joined
together? Right? There is no categorical narration about that.
But it's one way of doing it. So what happens with some people is
that the person next door likes to keep his feet you know, slightly
apart. So the person next to him will keep his feet now even more
widely because he wants to join the Club. It's not necessarily
this concept that Shavon will come in between that more relates to
the shoulders, the person himself, not the feet, right? Because if
you notice a lot of people that insist on this, they're more
focused on their feet than their shoulders.
Even when they pray alone, they will be praying with their legs
wide, even when they're praying as soon as alone is become a habit.
Right. So as I said, there's nothing wrong with it, but you
must insist on it and and irritate somebody else if they don't want
to do because it's not necessary and nowhere does it mentioned that
it's necessary, right? However, the shoulders must be together.
And that is a problem that we have many people accept the first row
which mashallah because people recognize that there's also reward
so people kind of trying to get in there, you know, there's less
space in the first room because everybody wants to get the first
row. After that. What happens is that people are leaving people to
want to be in first class.
Right? You notice people want to be they don't want to be next to
anybody. So even if you come and the row is never you leave some
space. I mean, don't do that. So brother, right? Be together. I had
that where women come to the masjid they even worse than this.
Right?
You know what my wife and she's been she's, she's mentioned that
they want this, they're sitting on different roles. Especially those
that don't go to the masjid too often, when they actually go
there. They didn't want to sit next to anybody. They want to pray
alone in one sort or another. Personally, another person here.
If you if the women are going to the masjid, whether you're in
whether it's in Lucknow, Mikado, or anywhere else, you need to be
standing in row as well. There's no first class here, right? First
class is that up with everybody, the shoulder needs to be late.
Touching together. That's the main thing.
Another problem, which many people are aware of is the short garments
that people wear. So they're wearing trousers or pants, or
whatever it is. But then their top is a bit short. So when they go
into the pool,
the trousers slipped down. And according to some people, it could
be as much as the Grand Canyon. Right? There was a mala, he was
with us in St. Cloud last year, he says,
The Grand Canyon showing I have two Grand Canyon showing every
day, the Grand Canyon is in America.
So anyway, it's wrong to do that. He should be it should be up.
Right? It should be up. And the thing is that why do you want to
wear such short clothing, because then you got some people what they
do is
you know, it's like women with the hijab that are not on property. So
every few months to keep making sure it's straight, it's just such
a hassle isn't it is mcru in the salon to wear a shawl or something
where both sides of it are dangling down.
The reason is that it's going to occupy you, because you have to be
managing that all the time, because it's going to keep
flipping all over the place and you have to keep managing it. So
that's why it's mcru to wear a shawl that has the two sides
dangling down just one side is fine, but two sides because it's
very distracting. Similarly, if a person doesn't have the clothing
on properly, and every time they're having to pull it up, or
push something down, in every record, it's just ridiculous.
You're there for the Salah, you should be prepared for it so that
you can do a stress free prayer should be a uniform for it.
That's how much it is. In fact, you know what the fuqaha had
mentioned that it is rude to preach a lot in any clothing, like
your night dress, you know your pajamas that you would not want to
be seen in public. Because a lot is a place of honor which you're
standing in front of your Lord. So you don't want to just be standing
in some kind of, you know, weird clothing to do that. Right. So
that's something else to take into consideration. The tricky aspect
of that is that if one quarter of the bottom is exposed
For the duration of three Subhan, Allah Subhan, ALLAH SubhanA, Allah
Subhanallah, then the salah will be invalidated. But if only less
than a quarter of it is exposed, that is mcru it's wrong, it's bad
for the solid would still be valid. Right? That's why I
mentioned this to that one person who said, You're telling me the
Grand Canyon is showing and you saw this budget? Right? You know,
unfortunately, yes, that's, that's, that's what it is. But
it's bad, it's bad, it's a bad habit. And it's really bad for the
person behind the people behind you, as well. So have some have
some sense when for yourself, and for others, as well,
you know, leave you against this lifestyle outside.
Just in that regard, that transparent clothing is not
considered consumers, right. That's more of an issue with
women, right. So that will not be considered valid, in terms of the
body being covered. But then there's another issue. And I know
that there's no women here, but you can tell this to the to women,
especially if they if if they if they've got an issue with this,
which is that sometimes women are wearing tights or leggings or
something of that nature, meaning something that is exposing the
curves of the body. Now, if it's not see through the muscle, that
will be valid, but it will be mcru. So it's hard, it's
prohibitively dislike my crew that need me to expose any parts of the
body that needs to be covered. Right to, to expose the form of
it, even though it's concealed. So even with men, if you've got tight
leggings, on your prints like that, in that the five part and
the neat part needs to be covered, right. So if that part is tight,
then that will not be very, so if you're if you're into these tight
jeans, or whatever it is that people wear, right, that could be
a problem, when you should look at that it could be a problem.
Because the men's, the men's part that has to be considered as from
the navel to below the knees are for the women, it's the whole body
except the face. And, and, and feeds.
Another problem,
people go into search.
And I don't know if they've got an imbalance in the center of gravity
or something. Right? But they go into such that they go into
frustration, and they feet go up, if he just can't stay down with
the head is down, center of gravity problem. Go somewhere get
oriented.
I don't think they orient these things. But you know, like, yeah,
wheel alignment, you know, I think we need something like that done.
But seriously, as some people they go into, they put their arm, their
hands down and their head down, and the feet go up. And as wrong
as well. If the feet have stayed up, for the entire duration, as
soon as the head went down, the feet went up, and they stayed up
until you came back up, your assertion will be invalid. Because
such that means that at least one foot is touching the ground, and
knee and the forehead under and under humps. So in this case,
everything else is but the feet have suddenly gone off for some
reason they're tied. Right? That's completely wrong.
So aside from that, I mean, we're just talking about at least
touching the ground, then there's the problem of how people are
touching the ground, how people are placing the toes. So some
people are just keeping them straight, that's my crew as well,
they should actually be folded towards the cupola, they should be
folded towards the table, and it's the bottom part of those toes that
should be touching the ground. Right, it's the bottom part of
that should be touching the ground. Otherwise, that's my crew
as well just to be like that, or to be like that. Right, which
means that the surface, the top surface is touching the ground
that will be embedded as well. Another thing is that if you've
got a turban on an Imam, right, and if you're making such a deal
with that, as long as let's just say that the turban is, you know,
on the forehead, right, it's part of the forehead, and if you're
doing such that on the turban, but it's on the part which is below
the forehead or above the forehead usage that will be valid because
the forehead is essentially you know, touching the ground through
something, right. But if the target is above the hairline,
above the forehead, essentially and then the and then somebody is
doing such the in this weird way where they're doing it on their
turban or not on their forehead, that would be invalid. But that's
not such a big problem. People don't do that.
This feat issue, watch. This is something very difficult to
determine for yourself. So that's something I would really suggest
that you make a list of these things if you have a doubt about
yourself and just tell somebody to watch you and you've heard, right
seriously, you'd think you'd be really thankful because we don't
want to go to Allah subhana wa Tada in the hereafter we prayed
every single prayer, but that one was invalid. That one was invalid
that was deficient. That was a problem. Subhan Allah is going to
be pretty sad. In a bother, we want to do it as best as possible.
For on the grounds that again, that's a major issue. So many
people are doing this. I don't know why big big people are doing
this. Right. You see this this is this is such a big issue. Right?
Going to such that and these are not old people
I have a problem. Now imagine Ashkelon has mentioned that if
you've got a problem, right, and you're old and you can't keep them
up, then rest them on your knees, but don't rest them on the ground
because the hadith is prohibiting it. Right? Now, what about women?
Right, because women are told to contract themselves and be as, as
compact as possible in their sector.
There's a hadith in Muslim, which says that your men should not do
this, essentially, essentially, recruiting women. So women are
allowed to touch their, to keep their forearms on the ground. But
I would still suggest that they don't keep it under drama, they
kind of keep it on their sites. Because the Hadith, not all the
Hadees preclude the women, but the one who lives in Muslim does in
Sahih Muslim does, right. So I would still say that they kind of
keep it off the ground side, together to themselves. But that's
something which is again, another sin a major issue in the men. And
we should notice that. Another thing is, that is a fallacy. That
mockridge Salah is only valid for up to like 1520 minutes after the
starting prayer time. And once after that, that is cut off that
it's missed. But that's not true. Yes, it's more true, the more you
delay it, so the more you delay, it becomes mcru. But until the
time of Isha begins, whatever time that is, Margaret, time is valid.
So if you haven't made your mark read yet, for a reason you came
back home, you're you know, you're from a journey, or whatever it is,
you should still pray is not covered is still up, it's still
valid until official time.
Finally, two more issues. One is
I was standing next to somebody in solid interview, right, some years
ago. And in one standing, he was moving around at least five times,
on average. So.
Right? So
after the salaat, I told him, You should repeat your prayer Psalm
nicely, you should repeat your prayer, because your movements are
considered excessive. Because the hook I mean here, the ruling here
is that if your movement alien to the prayer, right, that's not part
of the prayer is long enough for you to say subhanallah Subhanallah
Subhanallah, there's about three and a half seconds or so you're
solid would be invalid.
Another definition is that if somebody came in and they saw you
like that, and they thought you're not in the prayer, your salad is
invalid. Because if they saw you like that, they think you're in
the frame. But if they show you like this, they might not think
you're right. But that's you don't go by that you just go by the fact
that any movement that's beyond the movement of the prayer, that
is for three Subhanallah long, your prayer would be implanted it
some people have a habit of this, it's not out of necessity that
distraction is after I told him the next one because when he was
praying, this is how he was it was really classic.
Right? You could tell the guy was jerky and he was moving back, it
was a habit. You don't have to move yourself. And shaytaan is a
special Shakedown that's designated to give you doubt in
your will do. Right? What Uh huh. And a special show shaytaan with a
name in the Hadith cleanser, right? That is designated to cause
you problems in prayer to spoil your prayer. So it makes you itch.
And suddenly you start praying, you don't have an itch, and you
suddenly start itching, you know, suddenly start itching in all
sorts of places. And the more you scratch the module, it just
becomes just avoid it just standard just avoid it.
Otherwise, it could read your brain out that there's another
fallacy which is that if I, if I really had to make a move, and I
really like this, and then after, you know, I had to scratch the
same place again. And a third time my site would break. It would not.
Essentially you don't get you don't accumulate the movements.
It's one movement if it extends to feast or famine. Because there are
a lot of people that have come to say my slides broken I said Why?
Because I moved three different times. Now. If you're one movement
was as long as three seconds, three SubhanAllah. That would
break it, but not otherwise. Right? Not my viewers, but it's my
crew to keep moving anyway. And finally the last thing and this is
Ramadan mashallah we're trying to accumulate many good deeds for
ourselves, being around making our Salah to the masjid, and we and
fasting and so on. There is one thing that we need to we need to
think back. Now listen to this carefully. We need to think back
from the time that we became a child, which means when you're 13
or 14 years of age, if you can't remember exactly, at least from
when you were about 14 Because the age of maturity for people who
don't see a dream and so on for men who don't see a dream or so on
is 14 years and seven months. The Gregorian, which is 50 equivalent
to 15 years Islamic, right. So wait since you're 1314 years old,
think back
to how many slots you may have missed, and make a note of it,
make a record of it. I've probably missed. Okay, you know, 300 I
remember that one year I prefer to return 355 fighters, for example,
the heart I used to make most of the time, but I probably missed in
about five weeks. Okay, write that down. Awesome. You know, sometimes
I do not come back from work, I've missed us or like that. So you
make that you make a list, make a list of all of the prayers that we
have missed in the past. And let's start making a lot because that is
necessary. There's a consensus of the OMA on that, with only very
few detractors in the hands of Allah. He was the detractor,
right? For example, you might know he makes it very clear that
they're relevant. I have agreed on this fact that if you miss a
prayer, even purposely you have to make it up. And then you do talk
about it no has ever had his opinion was that the prayer time
is gone. There's no way you can really get that prayer because you
can't because you know that time is gone right? That's why even
with fasting the promise that was on said that if you miss a fast
without a valid excuse, that if you fasted for the rest of your
life out of Ramadan, you will not be able to make up that same
before for that one first that you missed in Ramadan. That's how much
you want there is concentrated but you may cover because there's a
prophet Allah Subhana Allah says in the Quran that if you miss pass
because you're traveling or sick or whatever, you will make it up
on other days for Hajj. Somebody and Mr. hunch, somebody's mother
had missed the hatch, the person came across her losses and my
mother has missed can she would have prayed if she would have done
if she had time. Okay, do it on her behalf. We learn from these
that even if Salah is missed on purpose, you have to redo it. But
what the people who there are there is a group of people today
that like to follow in your husband's opinion, and say that if
you've missed your prayer, then there is no way that you should,
there's no way that you can redo it. And to rectify it, you just
have to make Toba and two other good worship so that it's a you
know, it's it balances that out in the hereafter. That is an absolute
isolated opinion, that opinion as mentioned, but for it to be as
mentioned by Nomi is that the HMR of the not just the four schools
but there could have been in general is that whether you wish
your salad by mistake, our forgetfulness on purpose, in fact,
even more so if you miss it on purpose, you have to redo it
because the rest of us didn't follow prayer on one occasion,
they have stopped somewhere as before whether they've been
traveling at night, people were tired, they kept somewhere and he
told a beloved really a loved one to stay awake and wake everybody
up when especially time for belagavi Allah one also fell
asleep and what woke them up was when the sun came up, so that's
when everybody woke them is different. So they made the Gemma
official after sunrise during the Battle of the Trench three slots
are missed and oh my god no swearing at the portfolio that
made me miss my son had me miss my salah and probably salsa they made
they made cover prayer why can't we find any evidence for if the
solid is missed on purpose then you should make it why can't we
find evidence? I would think that is virtually impossible to find
that the reason is that even when after chemo preached a lot in the
time there was a lawsuit they weren't just praying Salah you're
praying in the West totally different from our situation. Yes
let me know Mohamed Salah team Sir Who let you know who your own.
They used to lounge around at the bank, but he was still comfortable
ship to the masjid because if they didn't they would be
immediately known as certified non African just to make sure that his
doubts about them they would still come for the come for the slot. So
missing Salah was just very difficult during that time to do
right. The promise has never be solved on purpose. It is never an
example that you find a hadith Oh, the person has missed a lot on
purpose and remade it you just can't find that the need for that.
We find that the need for missing a fast that you make in the Quran.
We for for missing a hunch for not doing 100 you can redo it. What
about someone that's an Israelite, so that is making it up. But the
thing is that you might be thinking you know, some people
might have five years of solid to make up.
Don't worry about it, don't find it daunting, make a record and
start making it up. Maybe what you could do is you could sometimes
what you could do is you can make one salata with each size. So with
a refresher, you can do a measure of color.
Also, the other thing is that it's mcru to make nuthall or similar
prayer aside from the Sooners or Fajr during leisure time, the
Hanafis is not going to make any other national prayer but it's
permissible to make cooperate so after you finish your filter for
you can make Tada prayer until sunrise. Right likewise after
after right at this time, for example is working to make some
liquid right but it's permissible to make cooperated about 15
minutes before sunset. So there's a lot of leeway for cooperate.
Another way that's very easy that you could do as well is that you
can say okay, I'm gonna get all my fingers out of the way. So one day
I'm gonna do 10 extra measures 10 times two. You don't have to do
the Sunnah color, you only have to do the foreign workouts. You only
have to remake those. So I'm going to do 10 times total carbs in a
day sometimes with pleasure with Dr. With us to remember it. You
can't miss your Santa Monica to do cadaverous
In the Hanafi school in the Shafi school you must beware the Shafi
say is that if you've come up with you better make them up, you can't
do something that until you make the law being ahead of us, sooner
market is so important that you must make us in the market
therefore before law for example to after that, but for the knuffel
you can replace the knuffel prayer, you can replace the hedge
in print, you can replace the Webby you can replace the non
emphasizing like forecast before us. So when you get up at 100 in
Ramadan, do color press instead you will get the reward inshallah
for the 100 as well because it's nighttime, right? But do this make
that maker make a plan for this and if we die in between and we
haven't finished we can at least talk to Allah Subhan Allah doesn't
look like started. But death caught me before I was able to do
it. And believe me there are people who've done five 610 years
of Kava mashallah they've done it and they've thrown a party at the
end of it as well, because it's worth doing right and make Toba to
Allah subhanaw taala May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us the
trophy to correct our prayers to refine our prayers and to make not
allow them to be autopilot to make a first class prayer all the time.
May Allah subhanaw taala get us to tofi because it's the first thing
that you will be asking about our Allah in the hereafter was to
learn
