Bismillah your man, you're walking. Um
so the first thing is when we start our prayer,
we
it's about facing the Qibla.
And we start like this.
So the finger, thumb is outstretched. So
it does require a bit of stretching. So it's actually good
for you anyway.
So it's like, well like this, like this, but like,
tell me if I'm wrong. So it's not like disabled. So it's like this.
Straight from there, you tell you.
There's none of this.
Because you see people doing all of these strange things. They do
all sorts of strange things, you know?
You like sloppy,
sloppy stuff.
So, right from there. And the other thing is, a lot of
not a lot. Lots of people do that, they'll actually go like this, and
then Allah,
it needs to be set together.
Because the movement of the hand are secondary to the Allahu Akbar,
Allah is really what matters. That's what puts you into the
salon. So it's
not the way you the way you put your hands together is like this
easiest way. It's just so natural, just so natural like this, like,
do you see some people that like this?
You know, all sorts of things. Now, look, if somebody's following
a different Muslim, and they're holding it there, or they're
holding it as a different story, they don't be sloppy about it.
They're just following a particular opinion. But I'm
talking about, you know, just kind of
it's really weird, isn't it? So you hold the property, you strict,
you hold it like that.
And having a watch shouldn't really matter. If it doesn't just
take it
in, keep the glasses on, it's not a problem. When you're praying.
closing the eyes is not a good idea during prayer unless you just
can't concentrate we will deal with that. Now, once you once
you've done that, then you recite your panic alarm. We're talking
about postures right now. So then we're going to do now we're going
to report is,
again standing ways you can stand in any way that is comfortable for
you, as long as it's not unreasonable as long as it's not
like really close because that you could fall or it's too wide or
whatever you can stand comfortably.
I mean, generally, when you're standing, Your toes should be
facing the people as well. So you shouldn't stand like this, where
you know, your legs upturned, or intim. It's just a natural stance
that you're doing, you know. So that's a good point you face that
people learn that even when you're facing, you know, when you're
standing up. So everything's facing them fibula, when you go
into ruku, I'm going to do it this way. Because it's, you'll be able
to see it better than, you know, let me know because we're trying
to get the perfect right angle. Right, the perfect stretch,
because
you'll get the perfect such that. Again, from here, you just go
directly into such that you grip the knees moving as you could
please keep the legs totally straight, grip the knees, keep
your hands straight. If you keep the hand straight like this,
automatically, your battery's gonna tell me if i My back is
straight or not.
Sometimes it's a bit like that. I mean, you could push it down a bit
like that. I don't know if I'm straight or not.
I mean, some of you, I've seen some people like this.
Right? So you need to keep it straight. And you're looking at
you're looking at your toes. So if you do it like this, if you go
like this, some people will do this. Some people will, you know
that people do all sorts of things. But the main thing is that
if you're gripping your knees, and your back is totally straight, and
you're in your head is sufficiently down and not to walk,
then it's fine.
Right? So let me unlock when you want to hurry.
Right? You can see a little hand drop down a wallet will handle a
lot more than adequate hand alone more than a welder can handle. But
make sure it's like send me alone even Hamidah
then I'm gonna record
and then you go down. So now when you go down, it's
it's your right here.
Do you touch your knees? Do you support yourself? You can. But
according to one scholar who has done a lot of who's who's done a
lot of research on this, he says that when you're coming back up,
there's a hadith which says use your knees is that you know we
rock up, but not when you're going down. So his opinion was that you
just go down straight like this without touching him. Of course if
you've got weakness problem, you can touch them. There's nothing
wrong with it. But what you should avoid is making another recall
when you're going down a free recall on the way you
All right, you're just done. You're right. And you're like,
it's like you've done a record, you're going back into another
record. So don't do that, go straight down from here, just keep
your hands down straight, and just go down like this. It's good for
you, your your your knees is good for your knees. So you go down
like that straight, you go down to your knees first, then put your
palms down, and then put your, your head down, and your nose
down. Right. So essentially,
it's going to be straightened out like this, like that.
So you are in between, you are in between your fingers.
Like this, keep it out. Unless you're sitting next to people in a
row, then don't put your hands up that way for them.
You don't want them like like this, you don't want to fly.
But if you're praying separately, you've got the space and keep it
out like that this is the way the process allows us to do it. You
could allow something small to go in between a little kid, for
example, see, it's like this.
But if you're with people just keep it like that. And if you're
really tired, you can put it on your knees if you need
to do a very long session or very short session. For women, they do
it really the contract together. Now, if you're in this male
posture of decision, all right.
The other day, I mentioned that if you fall asleep in that your solid
doesn't break.
Reason is that you're not really fully sleeping, because if you
started falling asleep, you'd topple over. But they, they say
that if you sleep like a woman does have such that, then you
still have will break.
So when you've done your search,
then Allahu Akbar, and you sit down, all the way to sit down,
look at this very carefully look at the way the way the toes are.
And that's very important.
The way that
firstly, in your such as a way the feet need to be is like this.
Not like this. And all these other ways that people do it said that
there's a central gravity problem that some people have, when the
feet go up. Right, that's totally wrong as well. So keep it on the
leg, when you sit down. This is a bit difficult if you don't want to
do this, but like this,
which means everything is facing the pendulum.
Right, everything is facing the Qibla your toes, the right toes
are facing the Qibla. Even the left toes are facing the cupola
because they're like, they're bent towards the Qibla. As you can see,
that doesn't require some getting used to. Right, because you can't
it's not everybody sort of flexible. But you can eventually
you should be able to do it unless you're very old. Right? So that is
the that is what we're aiming for. When you go back down and you just
lift your feet
not coming back up.
You come back up like this near you, you hold a nice
put your hands together. So that's that's the way you do that.
Now there is a, there is another theme, which I didn't mention
earlier. But it's a narration which Harvey says that he saw a
sort of loss of almost putting the two
heels together. Now, that is an opinion that is encouraged by
relevant because it's mentioned that you put the heels together.
Right? So there are both these opinions, you could keep them
together based on that narration or you can you can keep it
separately. Right? That's only a session that's only when the
frustration
then when you're sitting down
again you have to move to the city opposition that's the difficult
one is keep it down and then if you need to stand up from the
second record, then you just stand up straight like that. Just try
not to do too many too much bending and then
the salon you know that the shareholders see you like this
then a shadow and
so these two come in sugar Allah Allah He can either put it fully
down, keep it off slightly, and then sit on why
