The importance of missing a prayer in Arabic language is discussed, including the need for a woman to fulfill a sin and avoid mistakes as a fundamental responsibility for men. The speaker also touches on the idea of a woman being considered a goddamn woman and the importance of avoiding avoiding sins. The importance of avoiding traveling to a particular airport for severe weather conditions is also emphasized, particularly for men. The speaker advises avoiding going to shopping malls and avoiding going to the mall due to the "what is it?" sense of hope and forgiveness.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:06
			Because Heidi's number 218 which
says methodical Juniata mean lady
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:11
			de Ruritan katiba Mona if you can
fie Kitab in LA Yong Ha, what are
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12
			you but then
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:19
			whatever misses the Friday prayer
without any legitimate excuse will
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:25
			be recorded a hypocrite, in a book
that is never deleted nor changed.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:30
			hadith is related by Imam Shafi in
his Muslim in his Hadith
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			collection, wherever misses the
Friday prayer without any
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:39
			legitimate excuse, will be
recorded a hypocrite in a book
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			that is never deleted nor changed.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:46
			Right from the beginning, we can
see that there is the room for an
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			excuse in the sense that whoever
does it for illegitimate they
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:55
			could be excuses. So this is
someone who has no excuse, but
		
00:00:55 --> 00:01:01
			just leaves it abandons it, taking
it lightly negligent, not thinking
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:06
			it's important enough, making some
other excuse. That is not a
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			legitimate excuse.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:12
			Because really, the Arabic word is
not excuse, it's mean lady Dora,
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:18
			without the without there being
another need that was so important
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			for the person to fulfill, that he
couldn't go, for example, he was
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:26
			sick, he was ill, he had to take
care of something was a life,
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:31
			death matter, something of that
nature. Or he had to travel
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			because the person who's
traveling, there's no Jamal and
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			the person who's traveling.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:39
			So it says been laid in the rural
without any other need that
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:47
			superseded this obligation. So
one, this is a very, this just
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:51
			shows how the importance of Joomla
is and obviously this relates to
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			men and not to women.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:59
			There are a number mentioned that,
although it is
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:05
			it says that will be recorded as a
hypocrite in a book that is never
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			deleted or changed.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:14
			or Allah might have understood
this not to be literal, in the
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:17
			sense that Okay, once you do it if
the make person makes Toba, if you
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			look at this, literally, if the
person makes even though about
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			afterwards, and repents change the
changes the ways
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:27
			that means it's still going to be
counted against them. No, we're
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:31
			not to take this literally this is
mentioned in an exaggerated manner
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:37
			as a as to magnify the problem and
magnify the danger of it just as
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:41
			in other narrations, which says
that a person of doing something
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			is not going to enter Paradise,
which obviously means is not going
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:47
			to enter paradise initially, or
before he's punished for it. Or
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			like those who go in in the
beginning, and so on, and so
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:53
			forth. So here as well, what
you've got is that really might
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			have mentioned will likely have
clearly he released that the
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59
			record is not erased unless a
person repents for having
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:02
			committed the same. So that's the
great thing, because the way that
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			hadith mentions this.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:11
			Clearly, missing jaw is not a
cover, unless a person rejects the
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:15
			obligation of Jumar, then it could
be a cover, because at the end of
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:20
			the day, Joomla is a solid like
all others. And it's established
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			through absolute proof, definitive
evidence and anybody who rejects
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:27
			that is going to be considered a
golfer. So if you want to take
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:33
			this hadith, literally, then it's
going to be in an extreme sense,
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36
			is that person who absolutely
rejects Juma, then, you know,
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			maybe because of his golfer, and
he remains like that doesn't
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:42
			change his way, then yes, he's not
going to be changed is going to be
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			considered a hypocrite, that he
may be outwardly saying, I'm a
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:49
			Muslim, but his belief about
Joomla is leading him to abandon
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:49
			the Joomla.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:55
			But if somebody does change their
ways, then then we understand that
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:58
			this hadith where he says that in
a book that is never deleted, no
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:02
			change unless the person makes
Tober.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			So if the person doesn't make
Toba, it's not going to change,
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:09
			it's going to be there. There is
some discussion, though, about the
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:13
			concept of our sins being written
and recorded, and then are making
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:16
			Toba of them. What exactly
happens? We know from certain
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:21
			Hadith like a 30 boomin of them be
common law them better, that the
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24
			person who repents from sins is
like the one who does not commit
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:29
			sins in the first place. So based
on that end, they both the same,
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:32
			clearly there's going to be a
distinction between the two.
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:36
			Although it really depends because
in some cases by verse and
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39
			commitment that committing a sin,
their sense of sorrow actually
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:43
			encourages them to do more good
deeds, and to really make a great
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:46
			repentance, as opposed to a person
who's not committing any sins, but
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:50
			they're just kind of continuing
along and doing a basic amount of
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:55
			good deeds. Sometimes a sin will
be the impetus to do a lot more
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58
			great deeds. However, you don't
want to risk that. I mean, you
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			don't want to look at this from
the outset and things
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			Well, I can continue just to do
good deeds and abstain from sins,
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:08
			or I could do a major, major sin
and then have so much Toba that I
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:11
			could actually become better one
why use that we just encourage
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:14
			yourself otherwise is there are
many Hadith of encouragement,
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			there's no need to go this way,
because you're taking a major
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			risk.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			So it's really difficult to
actually say, who comes out
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:24
			better. And then because it's all
about what a person changes to
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:27
			afterwards. The great thing about
this, though, is that there's a
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:31
			lot of hope, which is given an
Islam. And that hope is built in
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:35
			to this hadith as well. That's how
we understand it, because the
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:39
			sense of hope, and a sense of
forgiveness, it dominates. It
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:43
			dominates except go for obviously,
except go for unless a person is
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:47
			committing a sense of comfort
through this by a very extreme
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:50
			opinion of Joomla. That a person
may have.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			And this is another thing here is
that
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			the
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:07
			valid excuses would be traveled,
for example, severe weather. And
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:11
			when we say severe weather, if
it's, I mean, sometimes we have
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:14
			what we consider severe weather,
but because of our amenities that
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:18
			we have, and the facilities that
we have of traveling, for example,
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:23
			somebody has a car in the garage,
so he doesn't even have to go
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:29
			outside, wants to go shopping. So
he or she goes down, gets in,
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:32
			opens, the garage, gets in there,
from the internal door, for
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:36
			example, gets into the car warms
it up, and then goes out, they
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:41
			don't feel a bit of cold, they go,
they go to the shopping mall, the
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			shopping center, wherever there's
nice parking place covered
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:48
			parking, you go in the mall, so
relaxed. If a person could do
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:52
			that, and the weather is not so
severe, that is maybe you know, 15
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			inches of snow or something like
that,
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:59
			then fine, you don't have to go to
the gym or, you know, meaning if
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:03
			it's what I'm trying to say is
that if it's so severe, that you
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:07
			wouldn't go shopping, you don't go
anywhere else, then fine. You
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			could make me miss Joomla. For
that reason, although your
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:14
			threshold for missing Joomla
should be a lot higher, right?
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:18
			Where you might give up going
shopping, but you try that much
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			more even for Joomla. And this is
again for men.
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:25
			So that's the way you look at
these things. That's the way you
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			look at these things. In fact, I
think the way you should we should
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:31
			look at this, because it is as
important. Is that okay? If it's
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:35
			such severe weather, and we're not
going to go to the shopping,
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			because we can leave that for
another day. We're not going to go
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:42
			anywhere else. What about equating
it to if we had to catch a flight,
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:46
			we'd gone undergone a great
difficulty to get a booking on a
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:50
			particular day at a particular
time. From, for example, the
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			airport that's two hours away from
your house.
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:59
			And will you undertake the journey
from your place to the airport to
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:05
			catch that flight in those
conditions? If yes, right, then
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:10
			you should go to war. And if not,
then maybe that would be that
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			would be justified. However,
having said that, if it's
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:17
			dangerous, where you could be
killed, or you could you could
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:22
			attract some great disease or be
injured or something of that
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:25
			nature, then clearly you won't go
anywhere anyway. Right unless
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:28
			you're escaping from somewhere. In
that case, it's permissible. I
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:31
			know I'm really magnifying this,
but it's a serious issue,
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:34
			especially Jumar. The other
prayers they could probably be
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:38
			missed for slightly lower excuses.
But Gemma is a lot more important.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:42
			Illness
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:51
			just being a student, missing a
class. I mean, that's one that
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			is a common question that comes
up. We've got a class at this
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:58
			time. I mean, the main thing is
that you need to choose your
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			classes and then you need to
discuss with the university and
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:03
			most universities nowadays
understand and that's why I've
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:06
			actually seen it that many
universities won't won't have
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			classes
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:11
			on for example, that time on
Friday, but we'll try to avoid
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:15
			them as much as possible. If
that's not possible, and there is
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:18
			a class of that time, then what
you need to do is that even if
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			you're going to miss it in the
lesson, then you need to try to
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:24
			establish a congregation. right
even if it's a 1015 minute
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:28
			congregation, as long as this four
people in on one Imam and three
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:34
			individuals, three men, then that
then that would be valid for Jamar
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:39
			congregation the Hanafi school the
chef is require 4040 people in the
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:44
			congregation for it to be a valid
Juma. So having said that, if it's
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:47
			difficult to run to the masjid and
come back for work in a big
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:50
			company that has a lot of Muslim
employees and it's very difficult
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:55
			to go to the masjid and come back
then fine. Have a have any mom
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:59
			come or train one of them to be
able to at least need a gym opera.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			because that's a very important
community worship that Allah
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:07
			subhanaw taala requires the normal
Salawat you go to your local
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:11
			masjid, but for the Juma you go to
the jewel on Masjid meaning the
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:15
			masjid for German, the German. And
it's difficult in big cities to do
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:18
			that nowadays because imagine if
everybody had to come to one
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:22
			Masjid in London or in Chicago in
New York, I mean, it'd be two,
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:25
			three hours, it'd be very
difficult, right? Because we don't
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:30
			have a day off on Friday, right
for most for the most part. So
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:33
			what's important though, is that
there is a congregation everybody
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:37
			comes together. It's a time when
Muslims meet each other. That's
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:42
			one of it's a social worship. It's
a time when the community gets
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:46
			together. And then on aid is when
the whole community including the
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:49
			people on the boundaries on the
suburbs, they will come together
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			as one in one place.
