00:00:02 --> 00:00:08
			Bismillah your man, you're
walking. Um
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			so the first thing is when we
start our prayer,
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:15
			we
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			it's about facing the Qibla.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			And we start like this.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:27
			So the finger, thumb is
outstretched. So
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			it does require a bit of
stretching. So it's actually good
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:31
			for you anyway.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:37
			So it's like, well like this, like
this, but like,
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			tell me if I'm wrong. So it's not
like disabled. So it's like this.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			Straight from there, you tell you.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			There's none of this.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			Because you see people doing all
of these strange things. They do
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			all sorts of strange things, you
know?
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			You like sloppy,
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			sloppy stuff.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:08
			So, right from there. And the
other thing is, a lot of
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:15
			not a lot. Lots of people do that,
they'll actually go like this, and
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:15
			then Allah,
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			it needs to be set together.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22
			Because the movement of the hand
are secondary to the Allahu Akbar,
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			Allah is really what matters.
That's what puts you into the
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			salon. So it's
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			not the way you the way you put
your hands together is like this
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:35
			easiest way. It's just so natural,
just so natural like this, like,
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			do you see some people that like
this?
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			You know, all sorts of things.
Now, look, if somebody's following
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			a different Muslim, and they're
holding it there, or they're
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			holding it as a different story,
they don't be sloppy about it.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			They're just following a
particular opinion. But I'm
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			talking about, you know, just kind
of
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:58
			it's really weird, isn't it? So
you hold the property, you strict,
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			you hold it like that.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:04
			And having a watch shouldn't
really matter. If it doesn't just
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:04
			take it
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			in, keep the glasses on, it's not
a problem. When you're praying.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:14
			closing the eyes is not a good
idea during prayer unless you just
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:17
			can't concentrate we will deal
with that. Now, once you once
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:20
			you've done that, then you recite
your panic alarm. We're talking
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			about postures right now. So then
we're going to do now we're going
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			to report is,
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:31
			again standing ways you can stand
in any way that is comfortable for
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			you, as long as it's not
unreasonable as long as it's not
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:37
			like really close because that you
could fall or it's too wide or
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			whatever you can stand
comfortably.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			I mean, generally, when you're
standing, Your toes should be
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			facing the people as well. So you
shouldn't stand like this, where
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:51
			you know, your legs upturned, or
intim. It's just a natural stance
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54
			that you're doing, you know. So
that's a good point you face that
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			people learn that even when you're
facing, you know, when you're
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00
			standing up. So everything's
facing them fibula, when you go
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:03
			into ruku, I'm going to do it this
way. Because it's, you'll be able
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:06
			to see it better than, you know,
let me know because we're trying
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:10
			to get the perfect right angle.
Right, the perfect stretch,
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:10
			because
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:15
			you'll get the perfect such that.
Again, from here, you just go
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:18
			directly into such that you grip
the knees moving as you could
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:21
			please keep the legs totally
straight, grip the knees, keep
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			your hands straight. If you keep
the hand straight like this,
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:26
			automatically, your battery's
gonna tell me if i My back is
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			straight or not.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			Sometimes it's a bit like that. I
mean, you could push it down a bit
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:34
			like that. I don't know if I'm
straight or not.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			I mean, some of you, I've seen
some people like this.
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			Right? So you need to keep it
straight. And you're looking at
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:45
			you're looking at your toes. So if
you do it like this, if you go
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:50
			like this, some people will do
this. Some people will, you know
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			that people do all sorts of
things. But the main thing is that
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:57
			if you're gripping your knees, and
your back is totally straight, and
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			you're in your head is
sufficiently down and not to walk,
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			then it's fine.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:04
			Right? So let me unlock when you
want to hurry.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:09
			Right? You can see a little hand
drop down a wallet will handle a
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:12
			lot more than adequate hand alone
more than a welder can handle. But
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:16
			make sure it's like send me alone
even Hamidah
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			then I'm gonna record
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:22
			and then you go down. So now when
you go down, it's
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			it's your right here.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:31
			Do you touch your knees? Do you
support yourself? You can. But
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:35
			according to one scholar who has
done a lot of who's who's done a
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:39
			lot of research on this, he says
that when you're coming back up,
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:42
			there's a hadith which says use
your knees is that you know we
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:46
			rock up, but not when you're going
down. So his opinion was that you
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49
			just go down straight like this
without touching him. Of course if
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:52
			you've got weakness problem, you
can touch them. There's nothing
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:57
			wrong with it. But what you should
avoid is making another recall
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			when you're going down a free
recall on the way you
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			All right, you're just done.
You're right. And you're like,
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			it's like you've done a record,
you're going back into another
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:09
			record. So don't do that, go
straight down from here, just keep
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:13
			your hands down straight, and just
go down like this. It's good for
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:16
			you, your your your knees is good
for your knees. So you go down
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:21
			like that straight, you go down to
your knees first, then put your
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:25
			palms down, and then put your,
your head down, and your nose
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:28
			down. Right. So essentially,
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:32
			it's going to be straightened out
like this, like that.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:40
			So you are in between, you are in
between your fingers.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:48
			Like this, keep it out. Unless
you're sitting next to people in a
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:51
			row, then don't put your hands up
that way for them.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:56
			You don't want them like like
this, you don't want to fly.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:01
			But if you're praying separately,
you've got the space and keep it
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			out like that this is the way the
process allows us to do it. You
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:08
			could allow something small to go
in between a little kid, for
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:09
			example, see, it's like this.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:14
			But if you're with people just
keep it like that. And if you're
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16
			really tired, you can put it on
your knees if you need
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:23
			to do a very long session or very
short session. For women, they do
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:26
			it really the contract together.
Now, if you're in this male
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			posture of decision, all right.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:33
			The other day, I mentioned that if
you fall asleep in that your solid
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:33
			doesn't break.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:39
			Reason is that you're not really
fully sleeping, because if you
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:42
			started falling asleep, you'd
topple over. But they, they say
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:46
			that if you sleep like a woman
does have such that, then you
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:47
			still have will break.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			So when you've done your search,
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:56
			then Allahu Akbar, and you sit
down, all the way to sit down,
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:00
			look at this very carefully look
at the way the way the toes are.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:04
			And that's very important.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:06
			The way that
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:10
			firstly, in your such as a way the
feet need to be is like this.
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:17
			Not like this. And all these other
ways that people do it said that
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:20
			there's a central gravity problem
that some people have, when the
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:24
			feet go up. Right, that's totally
wrong as well. So keep it on the
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:28
			leg, when you sit down. This is a
bit difficult if you don't want to
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			do this, but like this,
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			which means everything is facing
the pendulum.
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:38
			Right, everything is facing the
Qibla your toes, the right toes
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:41
			are facing the Qibla. Even the
left toes are facing the cupola
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:44
			because they're like, they're bent
towards the Qibla. As you can see,
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:49
			that doesn't require some getting
used to. Right, because you can't
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:52
			it's not everybody sort of
flexible. But you can eventually
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55
			you should be able to do it unless
you're very old. Right? So that is
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:59
			the that is what we're aiming for.
When you go back down and you just
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00
			lift your feet
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:03
			not coming back up.
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:08
			You come back up like this near
you, you hold a nice
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:15
			put your hands together. So that's
that's the way you do that.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:26
			Now there is a, there is another
theme, which I didn't mention
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:32
			earlier. But it's a narration
which Harvey says that he saw a
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			sort of loss of almost putting the
two
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:42
			heels together. Now, that is an
opinion that is encouraged by
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:45
			relevant because it's mentioned
that you put the heels together.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:49
			Right? So there are both these
opinions, you could keep them
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:52
			together based on that narration
or you can you can keep it
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:57
			separately. Right? That's only a
session that's only when the
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:57
			frustration
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			then when you're sitting down
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:04
			again you have to move to the city
opposition that's the difficult
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:07
			one is keep it down and then if
you need to stand up from the
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:11
			second record, then you just stand
up straight like that. Just try
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			not to do too many too much
bending and then
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:19
			the salon you know that the
shareholders see you like this
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:20
			then a shadow and
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:26
			so these two come in sugar Allah
Allah He can either put it fully
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29
			down, keep it off slightly, and
then sit on why
