words of
great profundity.
Because he's really getting to the core of the institution of solid.
So he says, Since Allah knows of the existence of weariness on your
part, weariness, boredom,
then he has varied the acts of obedience for you.
And since he knows of the existence of impulsiveness in you,
He has limited them to a specific to specific times. So that your
concern be with the performance of the ritual prayer, not with the
existence of the ritual prayer.
For not everyone who prays performs well, or literally
translating from Akula mousseline mochi moon, not everybody who
who's seen as a performer of prayer is one who is establishing
that prayer.
So this is what we're going to be trying to understand because it's
full of our it's full of subtle benefits that insha Allah will
hope to focus our worship.
We've spoken about this before.
That Salah is
one of the most important worships and that's why Allah subhanaw
taala has chosen that among all the other worships like fasting
and hygiene everything else, though by their very nature,
they're difficult to do everyday and solid by its very nature is
easy to do. But there are also other types of of garden, a rather
than other forms of remembrance that could have been done every
day, and could have been obligated every day many times a day. But
it's solid that is obligated many times a day.
And then not only is it obligated many times a day in 243 records,
but there's also accompanying number of records that are also
encouraged with it, just so that
it shows that this particular importance and a particular
benefit. If we believe in the verse in the Quran, you read Allah
who become will use or Wallah, you read to be communalism, though
that's come with the verses of fasting, which is also a form of
worship, which is only once a year as an obligation. And if Allah
subhanaw taala is saying there that he wants ease for you and not
difficulty for you. And if that is the case, with
once a year, fast obligation, then this verse should certainly apply
even more so to Salah if people are finding that difficult. So, in
fasting, people may have found that difficult. So Allah subhanho
wa Taala mentioned that there he preempted that point, he preempted
that criticism question that you can say complaint as such like
grievance and said, Look, this is not to create difficulty for you,
it's to create ease for you. So if that's the case, then it moreso
applies even to fasting to prayer, because prayer is five times a
day, and not just, you know, a few records but a number of records
sometimes. So Allah subhanaw taala doesn't want difficulty there's a
reason. So if that is the worship that has been chosen for us,
there's a big reason for that to be chosen. First and foremost, one
of the best expressions I have seen and has really benefited me
is that
Salah for the IRF and for the worshipper is like being invited
to a meal, a five course meal with as many types of foods that you
can imagine for you to take from. So you will be given this to taste
first and you will do some of this then you will do this then you
will do some of this then you will do some of this and you have time
for all of that.
So any other form of worship, remembrance that you do is still
far Salawat
does be the COVID daleel, etc. They are one form of worship. When
it comes to Salah Allah subhanaw taala has given us a medley of all
of this. It's a collection of all of these things put out in the
best way possible to benefit from it in the sequence that Allah
subhanaw taala wants it to be heard from us from it
Salat is that if somebody can just focus on their Salatin, every
vicar that's in Salah 10 Every posture and every contribution we
make in solid, that would be the ultimate vicar.
So then why do we do all of these other Afghan? Well, we do them
because it helps us to get our heart ready to make our solid one
in which we do have a spiritual ascension, and where we can
actually really benefit from all of these things that are on offer
in solids, which were made to do, but we don't really, it's almost
like we're going to a wonderful restaurants, we've been invited to
this wonderful sumptuous royal meal cooked by the best, you know,
best of cooks and chefs. And
we go in there, because we don't have much time, we quickly go and
take a bit here, take a bit here, take a bit here, and then we run
off, you have no time to save. With food, they say that there is
a ceremony with eating. And the more you you do it with ceremony,
you will actually extract more of the flavors and release more of
the pleasures from the food. And to be honest, when I heard that I
was a very fast eater, and I'm still a very fast eater. And a lot
of the time there's two benefits to eating slowly. One of the
benefits is that you will actually taste the food, you will have time
to savor it, you'll have time to think about it. Otherwise, it's
just a collection of things that you just put in your mouth and our
mind is somewhere else, when it comes to food is very easy to see
where your mind is and where your stomach is because the eyes are
greedier than the stomach. And it takes some time for the mind to
actually catch up. So if you're feeling hungry, and you start
eating, you may actually and you eat fast, you may actually eat up
and end up eating more than
you really would like to because you don't feel satiated. Because
your mind hasn't caught up the party new that tells you that you
are satisfied. Now you've eaten enough. When you eat slowly,
you'll actually notice that if you take a break in between, you won't
feel like having the second part.
Try it out, you'll see you'll see this. That's why what I've noticed
and it was actually pointed out to me by the family, that when I'm on
the phone, and I'm eating, and I'm involved in a heavy conversation
on the phone, and I'm eating that's the worst time to eat
because I'll literally be shoveling food into my mouth and
not not stopping. And I'll probably finish everything will be
no Baraka as well. And then what comes to mind is the hadith of
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that some fudgier people
they eat.
What's the wording of the Hadith, how many in seven of the
intestines that they eat, you know, as so many more times,
because there's no Baraka so it doesn't satiate you. So it has a
lot to do with also the way you're eating. And as I mentioned that
there's a
there is a study that they did about giving people even a piece
of carrot to eat, but with ceremony, like
they told them how to do it, sit down, cut it up nicely, take each
piece, look at it, savor it, and they found that that same carrot
that you would have just thrown in your mouth and just just crunch
through, it suddenly became so much more pleasurable to eat. So
now it makes a lot of sense that if you eat in the proper way,
three fingers, three fingers, what it does is that he actually
regulates your intake.
Three fingers, because only so much you can take in three
fingers, it's a bit of a struggle to take in three fingers, unless
you're eating big pieces or something. But generally it takes
you know, it takes something, it takes a while to eat with three
fingers. So that pace is the food. If you say subhanallah if you say
Alhamdulillah Bismillah. You know, you thank Allah through it, you do
some you know you you think about where the food is coming with
thank Allah subhanaw taala for it, there's going to be a ceremony, a
spiritual ceremony attached to that anyway.
Now, we don't necessarily agree with you know, like, fully like
getting so indulgent in the food and so on. Although I don't think
that's a problem. As long as the way we're still eating according
to the Sunnah. But just gives us an idea
that a lot of the things that we do today in this fast paced world
is, is at fault right from the roots. You know, we've got defects
in it right from the beginning. And that's why a lot of the
problem that we have happens. So if you take all of that in solid,
it's something that we do every day.
So this is what is going to explain to us similar kind of
thing that solid said the best description that I've heard of
solid is that it's this medley of the most sumptuous and wonderful
forms of worship, that the person who truly benefits from the vicar
and Earth car is going to find benefit in because he's got all of
these different things that he benefits from.
And then, secondly, when you have food that has been given to you
and prepared according to a particular gastronomical process
where
They know that this is the best food for you to have at the
beginning because for example, if you had a certain type of heavy
food at the beginning, and then you had something else afterwards,
you're not going to feel the same kind of benefit
as you would if you had it in the proper routine. For example, in
Malawi, skateable hunger will EBA he mentioned that is best to eat
fruits at the beginning. Because they are they're natural, they
stay well at the bottom of the stomach, and so on and so forth.
So, there's also a procedure of how to eat right in terms of what
to eat first, what to eat second, and that's what Allah subhanaw
taala has laid down in the solid or she has laid on the solid
already you start off with the intention session, Allahu Akbar.
And then you praise Allah subhanaw taala to get into it to attract
his mercy. You do the 30 how you're asking love for to ask for
guidance, and so on and so forth. And you're carrying on like that.
Then of course, the whole point that we can choose any parts of
the Quran Quran Ummah test Solomon Al Quran, you can recite any parts
of the Quran after the fact if it is necessary, because fattier has
that special package that Allah wants us to take each time. That
is the vitamin potion potion that we have to take. So it's like
that, you know,
supplement that has to come with the food. So the via the fattier
has to be there because that is going to give you the biggest
boost and the most benefits. But then after that, you can read any
part of the Quran and it should be assumed that you would choose the
Quran that you enjoy that you see some connection with not just
color altogether before that probably would have been nice,
cool hola had because it's the easiest, you know, it's again,
it's one of those things just pick up whatever's available and just
put it in, it's more about picking part of the Quran that you would
find and that's why we've given been given an option there. That
is your option you can use that to you read any part of the Quran
that you think is going to really make you feel connected and make
this solid even more special. And then after that the Roku and the
sujood and so on. So then going back to this he says that Lamar
Idema Minca would you tell Mel Allah when Allah Allah when I look
at our ads, when Allah subhanaw taala knew
that muddle muddle means to become weary with something to become
tired about with something, to become bored with something, maybe
to give up on something, I think I've done too much of it already.
Right? to kind of get tired, lose the freshness, lose the vitality,
lose the vigor, lose the interest. That's what it means when Allah
subhanaw taala knew that our natures were based on that low one
Aloka tar out. That's why he made worships in many forms for you. He
made he allowed you to worship in many different ways. As he's
translated here, he has varied the acts of obedience for you. So you
can do different things. And then he's and then he says, and since
he knows of the existence of impulsiveness in you, He has
limited them to specific times, we'll look at that second part
later. It's from Allah subhanaw taala has benevolence, and his
perfect choice and choosing his perfect design, in other sense for
for us, that, when he knew that we wouldn't be able to stay away from
Allah subhanaw taala.
Where we won't feel comfortable in remaining away from remembering
Allah subhanaw taala being in his presence. When Allah subhanho wa
taala, Allah has been benevolence and his perfect choice for us,
when he knew that we wouldn't be able to stay away from him for too
long, meaning stay away from him means whenever away from him, but
stay away from him in terms of our presence, then he will make you
witness to what is manifest from him, his signs will be manifest to
you.
Now, you might be thinking, that doesn't seem like my state, that
doesn't seem like our state. So
this is the state of the art in the state of the art even is that
they constantly want to be witnessing Allah subhanaw taala
That's why if you look at the state of Rasulullah Salallahu
Salam, and the way, the way which is a very special connection, and
a message communication with the Prophet sallallahu, someone that
had stopped for those
for those years, then you can imagine how he felt. You can
imagine how he felt he felt like he'd been forsaken. Right. So if a
person is who's at the level of having witnessed the Presence of
Allah subhanaw taala had been very close to him, then suddenly
doesn't then you can imagine, so when he knew that that's not going
to be the case that you're not going to have suffered from it.
And when he when the doctor Allah subhanaw taala also knew about his
servants, who those who are not able to witness him
right those who are not able to witness him yet right those who
are still on the
beginning of the path, then
I Shiva who behead Murthy he he has
occupied them with his kedma. So that by doing the hidden you will
get to the presence. So he has
occupied them with this hidden and but then when he knew that in
doing a certain type of hidden and service, if it's the same one over
and over and over again, you would become weary and tired and bored
with it. He made that form of obedience that hikma and that form
of obedience in many varied styles. Because it's the nature of
the knifes that it gets tired, when something the same thing
happens over and over and over again, you have the most sumptuous
food, and you have it three times in a row, you will get tired of
it, though you are dying to have it in the beginning, right, you
will get tired of it, you know, there's something you like, you're
gonna find it on offer, and you buy lots of it, and you're really
excited about it a particular type of sweet cookie, breakfast,
whatever it is, you will get tired of it eventually until you give it
some respite. And then after that, you get the same kind of vigor
about it again, same thing happens with music. You know, this is why
they do these things so many times over. And this is just the nature
of the human being when the recitation anything.
This is obviously for people who
generally focused on the outer form of it, it applies to them
even more than the person who are able to focus on the root of it.
Because those people who are focusing on the root of it,
they're going beyond the law here, they're getting the same kind of
nourishment, because regardless of what they do, they're getting the
same kind of nourishment, because they're getting the presence.
That's why a person who is on medication doesn't complain about
his medication and cannot complain, because his focus is not
the bitterness of the medication or the pleasure of the medication.
It's actually about what he's getting from that medication. So
regardless of whether he likes it or not, he's gonna have to take
it. But of course, they're a bar that once a person gets to the
level of mu shahada is definitely not as not having to, it's not
like having to tolerate medicine, there is a special benefit that
comes about it's, it's totally opposed to having medicine, follow
when Allah kuthodaw. So Allah subhanho wa taala, very does form
of worship on you. So if you get tired in solid methylene, then you
will then turn to remembering otherwise doing some form of
vicar. When you get tired of sitting down and doing vicar, then
you will start reading the Quran. Likewise, you will find that this
is different, this really, really applies especially in Ramadan,
because in Ramadan, were a bit more focused on trying to occupy
more of our time with worship. So this advice will really help in
Ramadan as well. So the types of Korra abundant,
and then a call, which means moving from one to the next.
Moving from one thing to the next, that is among those things, which
helped to invigorate a person, and it clearly does invigorates you to
move from one thing to the next.
That's why even in classes, they have a pot of a subject each day,
they don't have the same subject just on Monday, all of science
will be covered on Monday for the week. Right, they will give you a
bit every day or something.
So a bother now that this is a rule that worship with vigor and
freshness and vitality, even if it's less a bother in number is
going to be superior than the worship that's done with laziness,
even if that is abundant. So again, we go back to the food,
they say eat small, little amount, but healthy and good food than
eating lots of junk.
I hate to give that parallel, but basically, in our worship we need
to do if we do less, obviously the follow it, but we do it. We focus
on it, well, then that's better than doing lots. I mean, for many
of us lots of doesn't even come into the picture. You know,
whether that be with laziness or freshness, it doesn't make a
difference. We're still on doing less with laziness. So can you
imagine how bad our status where he's saying that even lots with
laziness isn't compared to a small amount with freshness. So Lisa,
laborer to bigger throttle Hasee were in the malaria Bureau to be
with you they will mark now, the point here is that what is
important is not having lots of the form, but more of the spirit.
More of the reality.
shakes a rook says the reason why he
has varied the forms of worship for us is for three reasons.
Number one, this is his mercy. Because the human nature is that a
person will find more vitality by moving from one type to the next.
Number one
which is a point from Allah subhanaw taala is to establish the
Hoja on us established the proof on us, I gave you many different
forms of worship, you didn't do them.
Even the Salah, there's not one form, it's varied, you didn't do
it, you got bored of this, you don't have that complaint. Number
two, this is a very subtle point.
If you've got options, and you've been told to do it with any of
those options, meaning the extra Noah, Phil, etc, the extra option
option worships, then this is also psychologically, to give us the
feeling that we are in charge, we are doing something, and to take
out the idea of fatalism that I have to if it's just one way, I
have to just do it. But here I've got a choice. So I'm doing
something. So it feels like there's some sense of
accomplishment,
it becomes easier when you want to do something for yourself than
when somebody obligates you to do something, when you have a choice,
you can do any of these but just do one of them.
You need to read your to support as a day of the Quran, you read in
the morning, or you can read an afternoon or you can read it in
the evening, you just have to do it. But you have to make sure you
don't anytime it feels a bit better than you have to do it at
this time. It just feels a bit better. So that's that much is
understood. Now the next part he's saying is when Allah subhanaw
taala knew that we also have impulsiveness, where we do things
in haste, where we just go and do something and just finish it off.
Right? Without really
focusing on its meaning, then he hasn't, he has prevented it from
being done at all times. And he has restricted it for certain
times only.
So when sometimes
it's part of boredom and weariness, that sometimes a person
will just do something quickly just to get it over and done with
that, which demands generally, that you'll be allowed to do
things anytime the nurse would like to do at any time. But you're
not allowed to you made to wait sometimes imagine if you could
pray all five daily prayers at once for the day,
a lot of people would either delay them all through the night, which
would probably the majority and some would would just do it all in
the morning.
So you can tell because for those who are allowed to do Joomla and
for those who are not allowed to do Joomla and that still do they
they do it they don't pray at different times even if they can
you're at a conference you're going to be there for so there's
gonna be a Joomla at the conference is still I've seen most
people will pray that Thorin also together because that option is
there even though acid and we're going to have another jemar that
are going to speak at that time. They're going to sit in you know,
whereas they know it's off Dalian all muda him to pray Salat, and
its own time, this is only Roxa.
And it's not one of those books that that you have to take.
So can you imagine if you can pray all five prayers at once? I
believe one of the shear groups or something they do that they
allowed to do, Jamar vol five prayers, something like that. We
only have to do two and two they allowed to do more than that, I
think. So imagine that. So that's why, why when Allah subhanaw taala
knew that impulsiveness within us, he prevented it in certain times.
There are three benefits in restricting worships to different
times. One is to control the impulsiveness aspect. If it was
allowed at any time, then the knifes would just deal with with
this kind of impulsiveness, they won't look forward to something,
it'll just have to be done right now it can be done right now or it
will be just totally delayed. So it will lead to one of the
extremes, you won't be able to regulate yourself very few people
will be able to do so. Number two, you will procrastinate it, I'll do
it I'll do it I'll do it which is another normal human problem. And
number three is a person would not do it with proper regularity and
focus
with proper ceremony, just do it at any time. But salad requires a
ceremony. Can you imagine it that if this thing that even the most
basic of food tastes better because of ceremony with it? Can
you imagine salad with proper ceremony which is required from
us? Starting from the wudu starting from the focus, studying
from what the Sahaba used to do, I'm standing at my you know
spirit. And so this is all ceremony. Then can you imagine
what that would? How that would improve it? If carrot if a carrot
can be improved so much. And then he said Leah,
Leah Hakuna humbucker a kilometer sala de la will do the solidarity.
So although he was speaking about the general idea of having very
different types of worship, he's then tuned in on solid because
that's
The most important worship and he says the example he gives us
Sadat's, but obviously applies to everything else. He says so that
he did all of this because the Hakuna humbucker iqama, the sadati
Allah would do the salah t, so that your whole focus. And your
whole concern will be the performance of the prayer.
What a great performance they say.
It's not just a normal drive, that's a performance. When it's
special. It's called a performance. It's just a random,
it's not a performance. This is Random Play, you know, but a
performance is especially focus, cheerio graft, you know. So your
focus then becomes the performance of the prayer, not just the
existence of the prayer however it may be. Unfortunately, that's our
state. A prayer should come into existence somehow or the other
and generally it happens with autopilot because we're so
professional about it. So the reason why solid has been spaced
out like that and not allowed at different times in the salata
Garnet Island what mini Nikita but mo Kuta.
And the Hanafi seem to be the closest to that in the
understanding of you know, no Gemma in general. He says that the
secret in that is so that they there should be a desire of the
knifes towards the next Salaat.
A friend of mine who who was a Shafi he's become a Hanafi. Now
because he's originally from the subcontinent, but somehow he was a
Shafi.
He mentioned that when I do jamaa on my travels, I don't feel nice,
the next prayer time, because I'm not praying anything there. But
clearly, he's somebody who's got ishtiaq towards a prayer, he's got
some interest towards a brace, I've got it out there, I don't
have to worry about it anymore. There's two perspectives on there.
When you have to look forward to it.
Then when you end up doing that third prayer, for example, you
will feel comfort after doing it, you got your fix of the day.
You then you'll obviously have more wushu and Hodor and Kurata
line, when a person does eventually do it, he will find
comfort in it, you will have the presence you will have the
concentration you will have the reverence and also you will have
the coolness of the eyes. There is a special status in Salah which is
only reserved for the highest performers in this
which is called the state of Colorado or Yun corridor to line
coolness of the eyes. As opposed to if it was something that you'd
have to do all the time. You won't have the same kind of desire
towards it. And obviously many times people will become bored of
it as well. And eventually what will happen is that you will just
perform the form of it, the HUD will not be in it. That's why
Allah subhanaw taala constantly reminds us in the Quran in Allah
Allah Allahu Allah, in the Hadith in Allah Allah Allah Allah Allah
so Allah Allah Allah SallAllahu Sallam that Allah subhanho wa
Taala doesn't look at your forms are your actions but he looks at
your state of the hearts. He does look at our actions we have to do
them, but here is talking about the purpose is that it's the is
the hearts which have to be looked at here. Lisa Shinohara cattle
ashba The whole point is not to just move the bodies move the
forms in the Masha no huddle, huddle. Urwa the real point is
that the souls submit themselves the soul is part of it for several
feet agita Salah Tian coffee about the loca then you're gonna have
mocha karma, the Salah, so that the secret here in preventing you
from praying at certain times and regulating it is that you are it's
the performance of the prayer that you do, which is to make it firmly
it can to make it firmly and properly. And well clear will be
Haku kihavah, Hera Albertina and to fulfill its outer and inward
forms. Lao Tzu, the solid men Hady iqama, not just that some salad
comes into being without you, having properly performed it, for
here made it and how here that's nothing that's empty, devoid
corpses that's devoid empty corpse. And for here, it'll go
back to Accra. And it is closer to being punishable. One of the
scholars said iqama to solid means to make sure you fulfill all of
its rights and limits, while also protecting the inner parts. Which
means to be constantly in focus with ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada that no
other no other thought comes to pass. That's what we're trying to
aim at. And what happened last year. So the Allahu Anhu wrote to
some of his
to some of his governor's ministers around the country. And
he told him I mean, he's a king he should be focused on establishing
rule and law in which he is but he knows that at the bottom of that
is this. So this is what he said. This is why in two years and four
months he had so much success, because his focus was so
Slightly different. He says in Aomori comer in the Salah. Sounds
like a doubly right that Verily, the the most important and crucial
matter of yours according to me is solid from unhappy Lucha will have
Allah Allah for Halima Seiwa, I felt, because anybody who is
mindful of it, and really fulfills all of its proper rights
regularly, then for anything other than he's also going to be
focused. It's a form of training, if that's what you're focused on
that you'll be focused on everything as well. Remember your
aha, but anybody who squanders it, then for whoever you masiva out
there, he is going to be squandering other things even
more, because there's no accountability there.
And the final point he makes from a Kulu, Mussolini Pokeyman.
Not everybody who's praying is actually performing.
You know, you say, like somebody that wasn't a performance, he just
did it. He just went through it. He was tired. He didn't really
perform well, that day, same kind of thing.
The reason is that your karma, literally speaking, is a
commercial and it's gone to do something completely and properly
and firmly. That's what it means it karma means that's why that's
the case. For example, He says,
a Karma Phoolan Ondara who that person did a karma of his house in
Arabic, that's the term use, which means he completes it makes it
nice.
He puts in it everything that is required. A comma to solid then
would mean the same thing that you have to put into it, everything
that has to be from it.
And if a person has any problems with their prayer, then there's
not they're not doing a problem. They're not doing iqama to Salah.
Now if you look at the Hadith and the Quran and the way it has told
us to do this, you will understand where we're going wrong. So for
example,
in some Hadith it says manlam done who Salah to who Anil fascia it
will Moncure lamp does it who mean Allah He Illa burden. Anybody
who's solid is not going anybody who is solid does not prevent him
from a morality and wrongs. Then he is only going to increase in
distance from Allah subhanaw taala it's one or the other, which is
very frightening. Now the Hadith says that either solid Abdelhamid
ut marucho Aha so Judah Allah Who should look at coma EULA for
thurible Haluk or Haluk Sama, Eudora will be Havasu.
Anybody who's salats any any seven who performs is solid but does not
fully do his record and sujood Why do you think so? Juden Rocco,
because generally that's where most of the problems starts from,
or that's the biggest expression of the problems is the requester
is quickly just bounced up and down. Whereas in standing, you
have to stand properly, right. And the whole issue, then it's wrapped
up, just like an old cloth is just kind of scrunched up is not
wrapped up. Wrapping is honorable, scrunched up, just like an old
clock is cloth is scrunched up and throw my Eudora will be here with
you, and then it's flung back on the person's face. If only we
could feel that each time, then we would know Okay, this time, I
don't want to feel it like that. So there's lots of people who
pray, but very few people who actually perform the prayer.
There's lots of people who have the form, but there's very few
people who have the heart in the prayer. That's why
we're creeping them out to be more LSVT Rahim Allah says that I've
seen those people who I've seen 1000s of people who are regularly
praying, I can't even count how many people but very few people
who actually regularly focus on the reverence and the humbleness
and the focus that is that is needed, then that is very
difficult.
But I bustle mercy says that if you look at the Quran, and you
look at every time where it's spoken about salats every time
where Musa Luna mentioned in a praiseworthy way, that these are
the people who pray whenever people who perform salah I
mentioned in a praiseworthy sense it's always going to be about a
karma to Salah mukhiya masala
when it's not in a praiseworthy sense is just most alone.
It's just most alone. Musa Lee means a person who's praying. So
it seems like a Karma The morpheme aspect is the most important
that's why for example, Allah says in surah baqarah Alladhina up you
don't want to be late. We're up move in a soda. This is a
praiseworthy place those people who believe in the labor and
establish the prayer they are the successful ones. Rugby Jarrell
name Okay, masala Oh Allah make me of those who pray. We established
the prayer established the prayer. What a common salata. Again
another appraiser is established the prayer mochi, Miss Salah at
another place in spiritual heights with the Toba Surah Ibrahim, when
Allah subhanaw taala then speaks about people who pray with
negligence and heedlessness, and without thought, he says for a
little more saline, not for a little more key mean, but for a
little ill mousseline. Alladhina Holman salata Ahimsa Hoon, which
in certain maroon, as you know
will be upon those who pray, but who are negligent about their
prayer, who should in solid is of three types. And we mentioned this
because it it just to check where we are in this. The first one
is crucial on who how often one kisser in what is the learning.
It's having that kind of reverence based on fear, humility and
submission.
Do you feel this reverence based on my humility towards Allah
subhanaw taala. And fear that is for the general people who are
bad, and so heard, are cut away from the world focus on Allah
subhanaw taala. The second stage, another stage is who shooter of
iman, we're here but in what Islam, this is the highest stage.
It's not just based on fear and submission.
It's not just based on fear and submission. It's based on who
shoot without a women.
Magnifying Allah,
or of Allah.
And recognizing His Majesty is that kind of reverence that comes
about? So the focus is not about I'm so low, but it's more about
how great is Allah? So in the first one, the person has
recognized himself, he has to recognize a liat. In this one,
they recognize Allah and now his focus is Allah know, which is
better. Third one, who follow Him know Surah Surah was so rude in
Kabbalah than this one is the reverence of satisfaction,
happiness,
and full attention. This is for the whilst in middle IRFU the
second one was for the meridian ursolic in the people who get on
the path, they start, you see in the pub, what does it teach you?
It teaches the greatness of Allah subhanaw taala. So then that's why
they've got that kind of focus. The third one of the people who've
reached who have acquired
their focus now is happiness, they feel a sense of happiness. So you
do get that pleasure, but it comes after a while. It comes at this
level. This one is called Curatola Yuan.
This one is called the gladness of the eyes. That's why the Prophet
sallallahu sallam was saying juridically
jaillet, Kuru 25th, Salah. The gladness of my eyes has been
placed in prayer, he had that high status of course.
According to the Sufis, any Salah that is devoid of who Chu and
Hodor. It's about ill according to the Sufis
and it's not Maqbool according to the aroma. It's for this Maqbool
but not otherwise the thorough etc. The example the final example
he gives us if you've got this tree in your backyard that has
certain fruits on it, whether that be figs or whatever birds are
attracted to it.
Insects are attracted to they're going to be constantly attacking
that you'll never be free, you'll always have to be preserving it,
protecting it, the only way you can be free is to cut that tree
off, then you don't have to worry about anything, then you don't
have to worry about soiling your garden or anything until you got
the tree, you'll benefit from it. But you also have to protect it.
There's no way you'd have to pesticide you have to do all of
these things, whatever you do, put a noose around it, Shoo it away,
use gadgets, whatever, whatever it is. Same thing with our life.
Same thing with our life. This is a wonderful example that you know,
same thing with our life we're constantly going to have to be
it's never going to be smooth sailing is always going to have to
be some concern about us being attacked by the shaytaan and our
knifes constant is going to be an issue. The only time there will
not be any more is when we die when the knifes is gone finished.
So essentially realize that this is a lifelong struggle we're going
to have to do and make good of it for the time that we have. May
Allah subhanaw taala give us the Tofik gloman to solo in person and
walk the earth inshallah anyway grown me are you a young girl from
