Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim, I have a question here. That's generally

00:00:04 --> 00:00:07

I've had this question asked to me a number of times. What is the

00:00:07 --> 00:00:08

wisdom behind

00:00:09 --> 00:00:13

having the loud prayers at night? mcgarrybowen Asia, and then Fajr

00:00:14 --> 00:00:17

and having the silent inaudible prayers during the daytime, like

00:00:17 --> 00:00:20

the heart? And also, what's the wisdom behind this? Well, the

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23

answer to any question like this, the first answer and the primary

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

answer and the most essential answer to all of this is that

00:00:25 --> 00:00:29

because this is the way Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi. Salam did it.

00:00:29 --> 00:00:33

And because Islam is based on submission, this is why we do it.

00:00:33 --> 00:00:36

However, in terms of determining the wisdom behind that because

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38

many of the commands of Islam as such that you can actually

00:00:38 --> 00:00:41

determine the wisdom and you can understand it from a very

00:00:41 --> 00:00:45

practical perspective. So looking at this issue, I think the

00:00:45 --> 00:00:49

conclusion for all of this is that it's a matter of opposites. The

00:00:49 --> 00:00:54

night is a time for calmness, serenity, and tranquility. And

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

that's why that's the time when

00:00:57 --> 00:01:01

it's told that you read the solid aloud, so that you enjoy your

00:01:01 --> 00:01:06

reading. And it's kind of going against the darkness in it, and

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

the silence and the serenity of the time. And the tranquility of

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12

the time to actually read it loudly so that you can actually

00:01:12 --> 00:01:16

enjoy it, while on the other hand in the daytime, it's a time of

00:01:16 --> 00:01:21

activity, sound, noise, and so on and so forth. So at that time, you

00:01:21 --> 00:01:24

actually told to do the opposite. And you're told to read you're

00:01:24 --> 00:01:30

told to read it in a calm state, because in an inaudible way, so

00:01:30 --> 00:01:34

you're not reading out aloud. That's basically the crux of the

00:01:34 --> 00:01:38

matter. I'm just going to read to you from different scholars what

00:01:38 --> 00:01:43

they make what they make from this. Allah Makoto. He says that

00:01:44 --> 00:01:48

in the national at the lady here, I shall do what our como Kedah. So

00:01:48 --> 00:01:52

what he's saying here is that this is a shadow of forgotten banal

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54

Calbee. Well, bizarre he was somebody will listen.

00:01:55 --> 00:02:00

This is about the the night, he's saying that this is the time when

00:02:00 --> 00:02:03

you will have more of a correspondence between your heart

00:02:03 --> 00:02:08

and what you're reading, in terms of both your sight, your hearing,

00:02:08 --> 00:02:13

and your tongue, because all other sounds are diminished at that

00:02:13 --> 00:02:17

time. It's a state of tranquility and serenity, and calmness so that

00:02:17 --> 00:02:22

you can really enjoy the entire experience of your reading, both

00:02:22 --> 00:02:27

through hearing it both through hearing it and everything to do

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

with that there's just a better experience of doing that at

00:02:29 --> 00:02:33

nighttime because of the calmness of the time. As opposed to the

00:02:33 --> 00:02:36

daytime. When you can't get this you can achieve this during the

00:02:36 --> 00:02:39

time because there's just so much noise generally around at the

00:02:39 --> 00:02:42

time, because Allah says in the Quran in the lack of in a hurry.

00:02:42 --> 00:02:46

Subhan taweelah You have great activity during the day the word

00:02:46 --> 00:02:50

Subhan actually refers to swimming, that there's a constant

00:02:50 --> 00:02:54

effort during the daytime to remain afloat and to get by and

00:02:54 --> 00:02:57

fulfill whatever your needs are of the day.

00:02:58 --> 00:03:01

So that's why at that time, it's told that you read it silently. It

00:03:01 --> 00:03:05

gives you that kind of change of scene at that time. In the photo

00:03:05 --> 00:03:09

montage it mentions Bucha collateral jagriti mahiya. What is

00:03:09 --> 00:03:15

the point of the audible prayers why do we read them audibly? He

00:03:15 --> 00:03:19

says, Well Allah and Allah Makana Lane Mahalalel Hello. That it's

00:03:19 --> 00:03:23

possible that because the night is a time of seclusion and isolation,

00:03:24 --> 00:03:27

while three Buffy is summer, and it's a time when intimate

00:03:27 --> 00:03:33

discourse it works out very well. Shara geography is hot on the love

00:03:33 --> 00:03:37

the tea Mona geratol Abdullah Robbie. So at that time, it was

00:03:37 --> 00:03:42

legislated that you read aloud so that you can actually express the

00:03:42 --> 00:03:47

pleasure of your reading and enjoy it because of the serenity around

00:03:47 --> 00:03:52

you. And when it comes to the daytime. So then he says when the

00:03:52 --> 00:03:55

Harlem Makana Mahala Shiva Hill What if they love to be nurse Tala

00:03:55 --> 00:03:58

Buffy Hill is roar or to Liberty Hill is roar, which means that

00:03:58 --> 00:04:01

when the daytime or when the daytime is a time of great

00:04:01 --> 00:04:05

occupation and activity and distractions probably as well and

00:04:05 --> 00:04:09

meeting with people and so on, then that is where silence or an

00:04:09 --> 00:04:13

inaudible reading is required. Lee Adam is sold out here to Healy

00:04:13 --> 00:04:16

tomorrow we will manage that. Because it's not the time to have

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

an intimate discourse at that time. You know, if you're trying

00:04:18 --> 00:04:20

to have an intimate discourse, and there's a lot of sound around you,

00:04:21 --> 00:04:24

is generally difficult. That's why then he says we're all haters so

00:04:24 --> 00:04:28

who be sadati Laila that the morning prayer, the Federal prayer

00:04:28 --> 00:04:30

has also been considered to be a night prayer. Liana walk the who

00:04:30 --> 00:04:34

lays a man in the shower, Nisha Hillier, Dutton kaomoji moi,

00:04:34 --> 00:04:37

right. The reason that's been connected to the night prayers is

00:04:37 --> 00:04:40

because also at that time, people are calm, that is not really a

00:04:40 --> 00:04:43

time of great activity. It starts after that. And he says, this is

00:04:43 --> 00:04:46

just like your mother tomorrow. So the reason why Julia is also

00:04:46 --> 00:04:49

allowed prayer or Eid is allowed prayer is because that's also a

00:04:49 --> 00:04:54

time when people are specifically focused on this worship. You know,

00:04:54 --> 00:04:57

they've said that they've freed themselves up for the gym, or at

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

least that's what you expect people and that's why Muslim

00:04:59 --> 00:05:00

countries

00:05:00 --> 00:05:03

He's generally have a holiday on this day. Right? So that's the

00:05:03 --> 00:05:06

idea here. It will pay him in his airline we'll walk them in he

00:05:06 --> 00:05:10

says, Well I'm at the freeze Boehner Salah delayed or Salaat in

00:05:10 --> 00:05:13

the heart. The difference between the day the salaat of the day so

00:05:13 --> 00:05:16

out of the night will Jerry will Sr. For variety Manasa T will

00:05:16 --> 00:05:21

hikma he says that in terms of reading one loudly and the other

00:05:22 --> 00:05:25

in audibly. The reason for the difference between them, he says

00:05:25 --> 00:05:30

is is has an extreme as an extreme. You can say conduciveness

00:05:31 --> 00:05:35

to the time and wisdom for which it is done for in the Lail Madonna

00:05:36 --> 00:05:40

Marvin naughty who do in Swati was so Kunal Harakat well Ferrara Hill

00:05:40 --> 00:05:41

Kulu wish Dima ill human.

00:05:43 --> 00:05:48

Masha Tita been the hara for NA Roma Hulu's mahalo subhead Toriel

00:05:48 --> 00:05:53

bilkul ball button. Will Lael Maha Numata tilaka will be listen. He

00:05:53 --> 00:05:56

says because the nighttime is generally a time when you expect

00:05:56 --> 00:06:01

sounds to be subdued, and movements to be diminished, the

00:06:01 --> 00:06:06

heart to be unoccupied. And for a person's resolutions to be all

00:06:06 --> 00:06:10

together that are generally in the daytime. They are spread around

00:06:10 --> 00:06:14

and occupied with other things. So that's why the reason is that the

00:06:14 --> 00:06:19

daytime is a time for intense activity with both the heart and

00:06:19 --> 00:06:24

the body is involved in that kind of activity while the nighttime is

00:06:24 --> 00:06:28

the time when the heart and body can come together and focus on

00:06:28 --> 00:06:32

something and the ears, the ears and the tongue they can work

00:06:32 --> 00:06:38

together. That's why he says that it is the sunnah to read long Cara

00:06:38 --> 00:06:42

insalata Fajr over any other Salaat the Prophet sallallahu

00:06:42 --> 00:06:47

Sallam used to read, you know numerous verses 60 to 100 verses

00:06:47 --> 00:06:50

in solitude measure. And

00:06:51 --> 00:06:54

Abu Bakr Siddiq are the Allahu Anhu used to recite Surah Baqarah

00:06:54 --> 00:06:58

Amara de la nuestra recite Surah Nahal solitude Bani Israel so that

00:06:58 --> 00:07:01

unit suited use of he used to read he's read those long sutras there.

00:07:02 --> 00:07:03

Because generally,

00:07:04 --> 00:07:09

when it comes to the morning time, when it comes to this morning

00:07:09 --> 00:07:15

time, the heart is undistracted the heart can be more focused from

00:07:15 --> 00:07:20

anything else. And it's a time when it's possible to read aloud

00:07:20 --> 00:07:24

and really enjoy it. So that's what he mentions. That is

00:07:24 --> 00:07:27

generally that is the case unless you've got an exceptional solid

00:07:27 --> 00:07:32

like Jumuah or a Dane or is this car Kosovo, etc. were in that case

00:07:32 --> 00:07:36

because people have gathered for that particular reason at that

00:07:36 --> 00:07:39

time and they're not distracted with anything else and they've got

00:07:39 --> 00:07:42

a particular focus in that case, that in those cases as well. They

00:07:42 --> 00:07:46

do um, loudly. So that's basically the wisdom behind one of the

00:07:46 --> 00:07:49

wisdoms behind when it's done loudly or when it's done silently

00:07:49 --> 00:07:53

during the day. May Allah subhanaw taala give us the best of our

00:07:53 --> 00:07:55

prayers during the night and in the daytime. And may Allah

00:07:55 --> 00:07:58

subhanho wa Taala accept from all of us after that run and Al hamdu

00:07:58 --> 00:07:59

Lillahi Rabbil Alameen
