The speaker discusses the confusion surrounding the predictions of the Prophet sallahu alayhi wahair, which involve praying differently to men and women. The speaker suggests that the predictions are based on a general rule for men and women to pray the same way, and that the predictions are based on a general rule for men and women to pray differently to the Prophet. The speaker also mentions a book on the topic, but it is unclear what it is about.

00:00:03 --> 00:00:07
			Our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
salam showed us how to live our
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:12
			life in, he is more virtuous, it
is more virtuous to follow the
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:19
			Sunnah. How can we do? How can we,
but how can we? How can we do a
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:23
			few things interpreted by the
Imams example salats our Prophet
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:28
			did not order women to pray
different to him. Why do we do it?
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:35
			Now, this is a fluid question,
because it's assuming that what
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:39
			the Imams are saying, they're
making things up. And it's also
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:43
			assuming that the Prophet
salallahu Salam showed women how
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:47
			to pray, and showed men how to
pray as well. Right, so let's
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:51
			clarify the fundamental aspects.
Question is, did the Prophet
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:56
			salallahu Salam show the men and
the women how to pray? And said,
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:00
			did he ever say in any Hadith? Do
Do we have any narration that
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			shows that Abram SallAllahu Sallam
told the men and women to pray in
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:07
			the same way? Number one, because
if that was the case, then what
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10
			these Imams have done is
absolutely wrong. Right, clearly
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:14
			wrong. But that's what we have to
determine. So
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			after all, my study on this
subject, and I've done quite a bit
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:21
			of study on this subject, because
I wrote a book on this subject,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:26
			the frequent Imam. And the whole
point was to remove doubts like
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			this. This is a misunderstanding
this generally provided this
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:34
			question, I'm assuming, is coming
from a person who's heard from
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			someone that men and women's
prayer are the same. I don't think
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			they've seen a hadith to that
effect because I don't believe
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			there's a hadith to that effect.
The prophets of Allah says in
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			fact, what he said is Salou
Kamara, Ito Mooney, who suddenly
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:51
			pray, like the way you see me
pray. He said that to the men, he
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:55
			never said that to the women
necessarily. So how do women
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:59
			figure it out? Well, women have
the women companions, Omaha to
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:04
			mumineen. And you have a number of
narrations that show that many of
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			the Omaha to many of the women
have the time of Rasulullah
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:11
			sallallahu Sallam used to do this
such that differently, their
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:15
			prostration differently, and do
the different functions that we
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:20
			mentioned differently. Now, the
question is that if they did it
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			differently, and the prophesy
Lawson was saying, pray, like
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:25
			you've seen me pray, then they
either misunderstood the Prophet
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:28
			sallallahu alayhi wa salam and did
it differently, or made it up by
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:31
			themselves. But for the women of
the time Rasulullah Salallahu.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:35
			Salam to have done that, they
would have obviously had a
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			precedent so that they would have
seen some of the Omaha minion
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:41
			praying, or they would have seen.
And clearly there's narrations,
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			which show that the women usually
contract themselves in prayer and
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:44
			not keep
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49
			expanded in in the prostration,
which is one of the main places
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			where there's a difference.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54
			So there are a number of
narrations to that effect, which
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			you can look at Inshallah, and
even on some some Academy, we're
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:03
			going to have a, a series on the
evidence is of the prayer in which
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			one of these things will be
mentioned. And if you want to look
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:09
			at these durations, get? There's a
number of books even in English on
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:12
			this subject, even if you look
online, you'll find them. Right,
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			there's one by Sheikh Riyadh in
which he discusses the woman's
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:17
			prayer. There's a number of books
in Urdu and Arabic as well allow
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:21
			sunnah and etc, that discuss the
women's prayer. So this question,
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:24
			the problem is that it's assuming
that a person did say pray, just
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:27
			like, you know, just like men and
women should pray the same. He
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			never said that. So for example,
in some places he actually
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:34
			clarified for example, in one
narration is general, right in
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:38
			Muslim it says, Do not place your
arms on the ground, forearms on
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			the ground like dogs do, which
means in frustration, don't put
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:43
			your forearms on the ground.
However, in another version of
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:47
			that hadith, he clarifies that
this is for men, he says, Your men
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:51
			should not do that. It's difficult
for women not to do that, or that
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:54
			I would still prefer women don't
do that just to deal with that
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			hadith as well. And they should
keep it on their side. This is
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			still can be contracted doesn't
need to be on the ground, though.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:01
			It can be on the side, but it is
mainly on them I have mentioned
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:05
			it's fine to be on the ground
because of this narration. So it's
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			always important, and I'm glad
this question was asked, but it's
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:10
			always important to look at where
the Hadith got now that the Imams
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:13
			if it was clear from the sort of
loss or loss and why would they
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:17
			what what time did they have to
waste to try to make up another
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:21
			way of the prayer? You know, they
the reason why they had to, they
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24
			mentioned other things is because
that's what the narration is
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:27
			mentioned. That's what the Sahaba
were doing and the Sahaba to doing
