thereafter Allah subhanaw taala placed the Salah in the middle of
the day
because the Jahannam is still there waiting, the Hellfire is
being kindled for preparation. Allah subhanho wa Taala wants you
to remember him in the middle of the day because that the peak sun
at noon should remind us that there is a Hellfire there is all
the heat so you make solid a lot of time as soon as the sun goes
beyond its axis. And that is then to ask Allah to do sugar to Allah
connect with him to protect yourself from the hellfire.
Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim
Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa Salatu was Salam ala so you didn't
know more I'm Eduardo ad or Safi edge Marine, a mother earth the
previous time we were completing
the aphorism
the wisdom, the specialist saying of ignorant or ill Eskandari
number 119 and 120 which is on page 111. For those who have the
book.
This is what he said he said, a Salah to taharah to Lillico lube
mean at Nassif de lube. Well, it's what Stifter only barbil Who Ube a
Salah to mahalo Naja mana Judd were married in almost offered
that the zero fee her Maya dean will Assad were to ship coffee her
Shiva recalled Anwar. What that means is that the Sadat the namaz,
the ritual prayer is a purification for the hearts.
That is what happens when you pray well. It's purification hearts,
purification for the hearts from impurities of sins. Number two, it
is an opening up of the doors of invisible domains. I'll explain
that shortly. Then he says ritual prayer is the place of intimate
discourse, intimate conversation with Allah subhanaw taala.
And it's a mine, a place where things come out from of reciprocal
acts of purity.
So when a person prays, it's as if they're mining for many, many
different blessings that come from them. We're in the domains of the
innermost being expanded and the rising gleams of light ray out
which is a bit more complicated. So we explain most of this and we
ended with a hadith in which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said that when you start salaat and you start sort of to
Fatiha
one of the reasons why Surah Al Fatiha has been
obligated in pretty much every namaz every Salah you have to have
a certain Fatiha in every rock art. In most regards. You have
that certain fattier why this, this surah because total fatty as
I explained last time when you say Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen
Allah responses My servants, please has praised me, Rahmani
Raheem, Maliki and within a year cannot be the way you can have
standing. And as soon as we get there we Allah says Okay, now
this, this is between me and my servant is no longer no longer
just praising the Lord somewhere. Now he's actually connected with
me. And then we say dinner Sirata was talking guide us to the
straight path, Allah now understands and clearly you see
that as a dua to Allah and Allah wants to respond. So what we
should be doing is we should actually be thinking about this,
that when we sing Al hamdu, Lillahi Rabbil aalameen were
thinking of Allah responding to us because it's supposed to be a
conversation.
So then he says, I mean, I explained all of that last time.
But what he then said afterwards, that it's marked the newly Musar
ferts.
It is a mine, you know, where you mind things from of reciprocal
acts of purity. That is where in solid, it's a place that helps to
purify our hearts, our thoughts, our ideas, our connections to
Allah subhanaw taala. And the benefit of this is that if we can
get into the solid, the solid is the way Allah subhanaw taala set
up the prayer starting with the intention and the purification and
the Tahara then the will do and facing the Qibla and everything
all of that is for a purpose. All of that is supposed to contribute
to a focus.
So if you want a pure conversation with Allah subhanaw taala you can
do it in Salah probably more so than in any other case unless you
go for Hajj and you do Salah dead and you know, so salah is the time
when you can get the most purest connection with Allah subhanaw
taala just the way everything is made up for everything plays a
part in that. And that's what he said that's where you're going to
have that purity and that pure connection and communication
with Allah subhanaw taala that's why there's a famous poet who was
well known his name is Abdul Farid. He says, Walcott Hello
tamale Habibi, whereby in a Syrian Arab come in and Nasimi it Asara.
He says, I had an intimate discourse a private time with my
beloved. Like, just imagine the private time with your beloved
finally, between us was a very, very special secret that was so
subtle, nobody else could find out. It was so subtle, that it was
actually more subtle and beautiful than the do in the morning.
It's just trying to evoke the pleasure of that communication.
Nobody else will get it what we said. What we stated, if they even
to hear us, they won't understand it, because this is very special.
That's why the idea is that if you have a secret language with
others, a secret language, secret communication, it means you're
very connected. So he's trying to say that this is Allah that he had
his connection, he's not talking about some other beloved, he's
obviously speaking about Allah subhanaw taala May Allah also give
us some of this and may Allah allow us also to communicate with
Allah subhanho wa Taala at this level of love,
but of the obviously for this we have to purify our communication,
our connection, our class and sincerity first, then Allah is
there just to give us anyway he just wants an excuse to give us a
we remove the clouds and the smoke and the distractions and they
Allah subhanaw taala will find the communication there for Allah
subhanaw taala from his perspective is the word he used is
Musa fat in Arabic, that means to reciprocate that means for two
parties to do something. So we're showing our purity, purity of
communication. Allah subhanaw taala will focus on us and give us
he's just ready, because he's generous. He's got enough Do we
have the time?
La ilaha illa Allah that's why there is a narration which says
that in the lab there is a comma Illa solid when a person stands
for prayer.
Refer Allah hula hijab Urbina, who Urbina, Allah subhanaw taala
removes the veil between him and the servant. Why Jew beware
watching and he focuses on him, gives him his attention. So He
gives us His attention.
And then what call Mathilde Mullah eager to mean little monkey Bay
Hill who we use Aluna be salotti and then the angels they follow
suit for either the magnetosphere now if the pure connect if the
connection is pure, like proper, and pure and clean, and the love
is immense when you because you know when you want to speak to
your, your lover,
and you're like, I'm going to after work, I'm going to call and
you try to call them they're not there and then eventually you get
through you know that relief you feel that pleasure you feel it's
amazing. That is how a believer should feel in salada Finally,
I've got to my prayer. So he says when the your love increases what
cathedral ouch and your eagerness your
your thirst is abundant for that. Well, the heart a dash, and you're
totally elated and lost in that you're just into it. It's the
Haqqani roof Allah hijab of A tilde. That's the only time you
rule and your soul will become entitled to all the veils being
lifted and that connection being made. Otherwise there's a keylock
is a bad connection,
but that hollow ala hollow rattle that's when you can finally enter
into the congregation of your beloved's.
So, then he says and this something experiential, right, he
says photography in legal ashba
either
fifth Illa Philo er lemon Urwa. You will then come out of somebody
looking at you imagine you're in the Haram in Makkah Makara in the
masjid and in the Masjid Al haram and Masjid Nabawi there's somebody
praying next to you, you can tell he's focused.
All you can tell is his body is focused on Allah subhanho wa
taala. And he is Roku and he's reading and his focus is is paying
attention. But to be honest, if that's a proper prayer, there's a
lot more going that you cannot see that we cannot see. There's a
whole spiritual realm of that connection with Allah he is he is
having an experience. Why would the province of Assam stand for so
long otherwise, if it was just a bit of an exercise, a few rituals?
There's a special connection made in there. There's an experience
There are many types of shows that you can go to. The best of the
shows are those which are totally immersive, that you forget about
everything else. And you're just into it as though you're part of
the show.
This is what it is that you're part of that communication.
If only we can experience it once, we would want to do it over all
over again and again and again. Yeah, Allah give it to us at least
once. Give us a taster. So that we can know but Allah wants to make
us work hard to trust him to believe that that is the case.
Yeah, Allah make it easy for us.
Yeah, then he goes into more detail. And I don't want to spend
too much time he says that this roofie Maya Dino Sr, which is,
it's a complex idea, because he is basically saying that after that
it's an open realm while you're in Salah, you just they're standing
but it's an open realm for you have all of the spiritual
experiences that you will have and the enjoyment you will have with
Allah subhanaw taala
is just opened, that's what I'm going to say. Because he's saying
that the only time you can have that experience is that if your
soul can be purified from all other distractions, then you can
enjoy that salad like that.
Now, what happens is that a lot of people they question they say that
I don't really enjoy myself. So should I even bother praying. I
say Salaat is a journey. Sometimes it could take us our whole life to
get there.
But it's our training that we continue to pray even though we
don't experience it, because we're trying to get there. If you're
trying to look for water in the ground, you know, in countries
where you need wells and you need to boreholes down 20 meters, 30
meters 40 meters, sometimes if you're lucky, you find the water
very quickly. Otherwise, you have to keep digging and you have to
keep trying then you have to try somewhere else. But eventually
inshallah you will hit water here at least you will definitely hit
water because Allah exists and it's communication exists. It just
takes longer for some people but you have to keep trying otherwise
you will never get there. Basically what he's saying is that
this type of solid if we can finally make it it will take you
from this normal state into a very high state Abu Talib
says not about it, the uncle is I think about tolerable Mackey. I
think he says that once somebody related to us,
that a believer
when he makes will do for salads. So you know, when we come we do
will do from home, then, as soon as we do salah the shayateen are
supposed to go away from us, if you do a proper we'll do the share
teams scattered from us.
They're worried about us because we're going to do prayer.
That's why they don't want us to pray. Prayer is very powerful,
because it gets us closer to Allah subhanaw taala. So they scatter.
Because what you're doing when you're you know, when we're doing
what do you know what we're doing, we're actually preparing to enter
into the court of Allah. That's why we're praying. That's why
we're watching ourselves. Because you can't just enter into a court.
I just came back from a flight from Glasgow, you know, from the
airports, I didn't come here directly, I went to Home I washed
up, then I came because you know, coming into unlisted, we're coming
to a liquor gathering. So you have to be refreshed for that because
there's other place. The more other we have, the more etiquette
we have in Sharla, the more Allah will give us then when he says
Allahu Akbar, to start the prayer
Iblees
is
there's a protection from a bliss that is created for us.
Right? So all of this is happening. But now it depends on
what's happening in our heart. You see, because shaytaan might have
gone away. But because we're so used to thinking about other
things all the time, because we're so worried about other things.
We're so engaged in other things, whether that be our business, or
whether that be our car outside, or whether that be the next
meeting, or whether that be the messages that might have arrived
during these 20 minutes. Okay, on WhatsApp or whatever. Do you
understand what I mean? Is there's just so much we have distraction
for today. And it's worse that now than it was 50 years ago, and then
it was ever in history. We have way more distractions than people
overall had ever had in history. I would say like, I don't know why
we're here at this time, why Allah chose us to give us life at this
time. Subhan Allah, can you imagine a 50 years ago, 100 years
ago, 1000 years ago, I think people will ever this distracted,
had this many distractions so easily. Just this one phone has
made majority of people that much more distracted. Okay, well,
Allahu Allah. I know it's more difficult but you know, Allah's
rewards are inshallah greater when it's more difficult, so that's
what we can hope for in sha Allah. So then he says that there's a
veil between him and the police. But then what happens is
When a person says Allahu Akbar, an angel looks in our hearts. Now
if they genuinely find somebody, they find that there is what is
Allahu Akbar mean? Allah is the Greatest.
So the engine is going to look to see whether that is a reality in
our hearts. Is Allah the greatest in our heart? Or is there
something greater that we're thinking about? Because that means
we're thinking about something else. Although we've said Allahu
Akbar we actually mean some but we actually have something else which
is greater in our head because now we're thinking about that. So
then, if they do find that yes, mashallah, the person does have a
line their heart and He is the greatest thing right now is
focused on the engineering say, so duct, Allahu Akbar, Rafi choleric
come out of school. You are absolutely right. Allah is the
Greatest one in your heart, just as you're saying, You're right. So
then he says, that's when the light opens up everything up to
the heavens, and the person starts having that special communication
experience.
He says that the secrets of the heavens and the earth can open up
to him during this time. Now, this is something you can deny if you
want to because we're not experienced. I've never
experienced this. So why should I believe this? But it's an
experiential idea. If you've not been on the right, you can't say
how bad or good is, Nani can't be that good. Now, brother, it's a
really good ride. The food is really good in that restaurant,
you know, or whatever else it is that makes you tick. Right?
Somebody's got a really nice car and it goes really fast and like
no man, my cars better. Well try it out first, then you can
compare.
Then he says that if it's as awful Jonah Hill, the heedless ignorant
person he stands for will do.
The Shayateen they actually come just as if there's some honey that
has been placed somewhere they come and they start attacking the
person, meaning it is hover around because they know that they can't
let this guy pray.
When he says Allahu Akbar, the angel then comes as usual to check
is Allah re Akbar, in our hearts more than anything else. When he
finds out, he's got so many other things in his heart. Rather than
Allah, He said, Allahu Akbar, but it's so many other things. He
says, You're a liar. Allah is not greatest in your heart, as you
say. So then he says that there's actually a smoke, a cloud that
appears that essentially prevents him from thinking higher from
connecting with Allah subhanho wa Taala at that level, and then
shaytaan gets, gets a full joy out of this. And then you get worse
vessels and you get all sorts of problems in the salaat. And
there's no there's no dis basically this all distracted
prayer about everything else besides Allah subhanaw taala
La Ilaha illa Allah. So that was essentially the end of that one. I
tried to explain it in the simplest way, although I think
it's a lot more deeper than that. If somebody was to experience
this, which is very difficult to explain. But really, I think in
layman's language, this is the simplest thing and may Allah
subhanaw taala. Give us that. Now, the next
point here is, the next one is 120. It's on page 113. Of the of
the book. It's a very simple one, he says.
This even auto discovery says Alima will do the dark theming
for callala, the walima will only Marty ergic Illa father Lee, for
cathedra under the
now that's really interesting what he says he knew of the existence
of weakness in you. So he made the number of ritual prayers small.
He knew were weak. So he only made it five prayers a day.
And he knew of your need for His grace, though. He knew you're
weak. So you can't do that much. But he knows that you need a lot
of grace. So he multiplied the fruitful rewards and results for
you. This is Allah subhanaw taala has kindness and compassion and
his benevolence. So what is he saying here?
Is that Allah subhanaw taala knows were weak. We're not that strong
to do worship even though that's what He created us for. He knows
we have issues. So he says, Okay, fine. I'm just gonna make it five
prayers. That's why
the whole story happened in Musa Ali salaam, and the prophets are
awesome. During the marriage. It was supposed to be 50 hamdulillah
it's only five.
So
are you held in sun? Allah subhana wa Tada has, despite the fact that
you could do so many more prayers during the day, this physically
this time isn't there to do a lot more prayers. But he's only made
it five times a day. And then he's chosen the five times a very
strategic points of the day. The every slot is placed in a very
strategic point. Like if we've not thought about that, of course
Some of them we clearly understand. And we can see with
clarity what the purpose of that prayer is at that time. But this
is the way if no RGB explains it, he says that. So he made one solid
necessary for you, as the night ends, as the darkness disappears
dissipating, and the light is about to come, I know that happens
about four o'clock, right or 115 in England, which is a weird place
to be for that, right? When you go closer to the equator, you know,
and India, Pakistan, other places a lot more balanced timing, we go
through some major fluctuations throughout the year, or whatever
that is, because at the end of the day, we can't escape the night and
day, even if our sleeping patterns are the same. There is a night and
day the sun and the moon they play have a very special, they have a
very special influence and effect on human beings. Okay, I don't
know if there's any studies that have been done on this, in terms
of when sunrises and when sunset is and how that makes people
differ. There are some in terms of places where they have extreme,
you know, winters and extreme summers in terms of northern
latitude places where they have, you know, two or three months of
just pure sun and, you know, no, no sunset, or just complete light,
like in Northern Norway and other places, and the how that effects
people and the clock, their natural clocks, and everything
isn't all the time to get into all of that. But the point is, that
whenever it is,
at the end of the day, we have to make pleasure. Right? If that's
early, if that's later so our times fluctuate. And the reason we
do that is Allah subhana wa Tada after a night of sleep of
negligence, because sleep is negligence at the end of their
sleep is like death. It's an inactive moment. It's an inactive
time. Okay, it's necessary for us to have some of it, but it's an
inactive time. We've been devoid of any vicar of Allah at that
time. So Allah says wake up and do Sadat's, you can basically express
your thanks to Allah subhanaw taala at the just before the day
begins at the end of your night of negligence.
Thereafter, Allah subhanaw taala placed the Salah in the middle of
the day.
Because the Jahannam is still there waiting, the Hellfire is
being kindled for preparation. Allah subhanho wa Taala wants you
to remember him in the middle of the day because that the peak sun
at noon should remind us that there is a Hellfire there is all
the heat, so you make solid a lot of time as soon as the sun goes
beyond its axis. And that is then to ask Allah to do sugar to Allah
connect with him to protect yourself from the hellfire.
Thereafter, as you get towards the end of the day when the sun is
about to before the sunsets when it's gone to the west. And it's
going to incline further this is your answer time. Allah subhanho
wa Taala wants you to bear witness again, towards the end of the day,
he wants you to bear witness again. And he wants to see that
you testify to him and you connect with him at that time.
And also at that time is when the angels are coming down to the
earth to change the the astral time is the time when the angels
of the day departing the angels of night are going to come and so on.
So Allah wants the angels to see you pray to see his slaves pray to
him. Right? That's what we're doing.
Thereafter, ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada obligates another prayer for us
when the day ends, and the night begins just as he did so, at the
beginning of the day, this is so that you welcome the night you
enter into night in the name of Allah subhanaw taala. Also, it's a
protection from you from all the evils that come about at night. So
you start your evening your night with a remembrance of Allah
subhanaw taala it's supposed to protect you from a lot of the evil
possibilities of the nighttime.
And it's also to attract all the great bounties that Allah subhanaw
taala showers at night. Remember,
people make mischief at the beginning of the night, but by
two, three o'clock they're gone. And then the people have tahajud
rice. And the reason why that's a very special time is because by
that time, the Mischief Makers of the night have gone. And the
Mischief Makers of the day have not woken up yet. That is the
purest time
thereafter
when you want to sleep
so after your sunset after that when you're intending to
eventually go to sleep and retire for the day.
Allah does not want you to be distracted before you sleep so he
makes ation unnecessary for you. So there's the issue of prayer
before you go to sleep.
I know nowadays all of this has been so messed up. But in history,
people generally stepped off the issue because there were no
artificial lighting systems. You had to sleep otherwise you'd have
to have a little lamp and do something with that. You'd rather
wake wake go to see buddy wake up early in the morning and benefit
from the day
able because of our artificial lights a lot of people are
basically doing other things at nighttime and the whole system is
in place that's why I said I don't know why we're here and this time
what Allah has installed for us Allah make it easy for us.
So the point is your last moments then is your with Eurasia prayer
is with Allah subhanaw taala
That's why Allah subhanaw taala obligated these five prayers so
that they in strategic points of the day why because a life
changing us to him He wants us to come to him that's why there's a
hadith says algebra becoming calm and yourself Pune either agenda TV
Salah Salem, your Lord is amazed by a people who are going to be
driven to agenda in chains meaning chain to go to agenda. This is
because Allah has obligated these things to force us to go to China.
That's what Allah wants us. Unless you're gonna resist. Then after
that, he says
that, okay, because Allah has now decreased the amount. But that's
not enough, because you need to do a lot more to get to the highest
places where Allah wants you to go in general. But with five prayers,
you can't do that, if it was just purely five prayers and five
rewards. So then he says, Because Allah subhanaw taala know, knew
your need for His grace. He increased the bounties and the
blessings from even the five prayers, you do five prayers
property, and Subhanallah look what you get. So what he means by
the M dad here, he calls him dad, which means the extended supply an
additional bounties, he says all the rewards that you would get on
it. So for example, at the basic equation for every prayer, you get
10 times the reward.
That's five goes to 50. In fact, in the Hadith, where the you've
got the discussion of Musa some of the Prophet sorrows and trying to
decrease the price from 5045 40, and so on, at the end, when Allah
says, Okay, it's five, but you will get the reward of 50. So
there's a hadith that has that as well. So it's five prayers, you
get 50 rewards. So it's five prayers physically, but there's 50
rewards in terms of the substance that you get from it, meaning the
reward. Now on top of that, now, if you do it in Jamar in the
masjid, then you get for every prayer, you get 25 times the
reward as the base reward. And remember, every worship we do is
multiply 10 times so it's actually he says 25 times 10 which is
actually 250 as the bonus 25 is the basic rule and you want to go
with the 27 That's 270 them okay, for every prayer
he says Fergana either do Salado Gemma me a tiny welcome scene
equally Salatin wala who forget in our theme, as 250 rewards
multiplied bonus rewards.
Thereafter the depending on how big the Jama is, you get more
reward for that. A bigger Jamara you get more reward.
Because Allah gets more allies even more generous. Then on top of
that, depending on
your own presence, your own fear and reverence your own distraction
free attention. Then there's even more and further Allah says Allah
Tala munaf some Orfila home min karate, Tian Jessa and Bhima Korea
Milan, no knifes nobody knows that which Allah has kept concealed for
them of things that will gladden their eyes so that we don't even
know how much you're gonna get for that just the more you do it the
more you will get. Does that be my kind of yeah balloon as a reward
and compensation for what they used to do.
There is prayers in specific places you get more reward. So for
example, if you do the salaat in Baitullah in Masjid Al haram in
Masjid Nabawi in Baitul MK this then you get extra reward you know
there is 100,000 and and so on. Then after that they also is
another thing that it depends on who you're praying behind. The
more your righteous your Imam is, the greater your reward where we
cut the route battle Imam. He says man, Salah Khalifa, Mark 14 Rafer
hola hola. If you can get your Salah behind somebody who's
already been forgiven, then you will be forgiven.
So choose the best demand for that.
And Allah subhanaw taala knows best.
So
that's this is the way Sheikh Abdullah Gringo, he explains this
he says on the night of the prophets ascension to the heavens,
the Mirage 50 daily ritual prayers were initially made obligatory,
upon the repeated request of the messenger of allah sallallahu
Sallam the number was reduced to five. The reduction was granted on
account of our weakness and our inability to perform 50 daily
prayer steadfastly
Since man is in need of Allah's grace, the reward of 50 prayers
was retained. And then after that, there's just no limit to how much
more you can attain in that and the closest to Allah subhanaw
taala you can gain in that there's the just finish off with a Hadith
of the Prophet sallallahu earlier, some of them were one Sahabi he
did something for the Prophet sallallahu sallam, he did a
certain task that the prophets Allah is needed. And so the Romans
said, Okay, ask me whatever you want, what can I give you?
So he said, Morava cartography Jana, I want to be in your company
in Jannah.
Professionalism said something else, make it something else,
because that would be easier, said no, that's what I want.
So the person said, Okay, if you want that, then you need to help
me. You need to help me get you to that status, which is by doing
lots of soju. By prayer, so prayer is very, I know we do it every
day. So it becomes like a just a prayer. But that's why I say that
it takes a whole life to get the prayer right.
Every day is a new training until we get it right. And hopefully we
can get it right before we die actually much
earlier than when we die so that we can really inshallah get I
mean, as we get older Subhanallah you just thinking, Okay, your days
are getting older. The days are getting busier though of the
world. That's the problem. You get more children, you get more
acquaintances, you start knowing more people, you get more busy.
That's a weird thing, because that's dunya dunya dunya may be
obligatory, how do you then free yourself to get to Allah subhanho
wa Taala because that's what we need. That's where we eventually
gonna go. It's a difficult balance, but it's easy for for
those who those whom Allah makes it easy for May Allah make it easy
for us we should always ask Allah for ease towards them and make an
effort to do more. May Allah give us the Tofik and may Allah accept
the sessions and those who make these sessions possible as well.
And Masha Allah, Allah bless the people of this masjid and the
Imams and everything sitting in this nice very cool mashallah
environment in this hot day outside something to thank Allah

Allah we have been engrossed in many other things. We've been
obsessed with other things. We've been totally totally diverted from
you. Oh Allah, we asked you to turn us back to you to make this
easy for us. Yeah, Allah we wake up in the morning. Oh Allah and we
have full intention to turn to you. But by the evening we have
lost and we have distracted. We try this in the evening. But by
the morning we are lost. Oh Allah, Oh Allah, we are tired of fighting
against the shaytaan. We are tired, tired of and weary and
fighting against all of these distractions. Oh Allah you have
placed us here in this time of Allah, you give us the needed
fortitude and strength.
To keep our focus of Allah whatever you deem easy will become
easy. Our love for you is just the decision. For us. It's difficult
work. But Oh Allah, grab us by the forelocks and enter us into
paradise. Oh Allah, writers of those who are freed from hellfire
writers of those who are considered your friends, right as
among those who love to meet you in the hereafter and you long to
meet them. Oh Allah make us of those whose final days are the
best of the days of Allah make us of those who will have the best
experience when they stand in front of you. Those who will be in
the shade in your shade of your throne on the Day of Judgment,
those whom will be among the 70,000 that you will allow to
enter into paradise without any questioning or reckoning. Those
who will be in jail nettleford
Those in the highest chambers of the highest paradise and guidance,
those will be in the company of your messenger sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam, the prophets, the champions of truth, the mottos of
Allah make us of the good people, make us of those
who you have blessed in every way of Allah you have blessed us in
many ways you have given us so much worldly prosperity, you have
given us more than so many others in this world. Oh Allah, you have
given us so much more than so many others in the world, others who
are suffering under oppression, in insecure situations with bad
health of Allah you have given us but oh Allah do not allow us to
use this very blessing and bounty in your disobedience. Don't make
this a source of fitna and Mr. For us, Oh Allah, allow us to be what
your Prophet sallallahu sallam said, that how wonderful is pure
wealth in the hands of wonderful of righteous people, of Allah make
us of those who serve your faith in some way or the other, you
know, Oh Allah, you know, the abundant ways. Everything is in
your possession in your hands in your control, except us all of
Allah except the soil and the little that we can do. I was
sitting here on this Sunday, oh Allah accepted from us. At the end
of the day you brought us here we could not have been here without
you. So Allah, we take this that you want to bless us and you want
to accept from us. Do not allow anybody to turn away from this
gathering without being forgiven, without being written as connected
to you. And Allah, Oh Allah, we ask that You grant us. You grant
us success in our main worship, which is our salah, then in all of
our other worships, that you allow us to communicate with you and
enjoy that communication. While we're in Sadat. Oh Allah, we will
do this solid even if we don't feel it because that's our
requirement. That's what we are slaves, but Oh Allah, it would be
made so easy if we can gain the Halawa, Iman and the sweetness of
faith. Oh Allah, Oh Allah, these are sinful people. These are these
are sinful.
These pleas are coming from a position of people have a person
who commit sins but Oh Allah, you will your gratitude your your
greatness, You Allah, your greatness and your benevolence
knows no bound. This is what we are expecting from you. Oh Allah
accept from all of us here, oh Allah accept from all of us, and
allow us to continue to be those who will remember you and those
who will thank you. And though those will have gratitude to you,
and protects our children and our families and our progenies until
the day of judgment from all the evils and difficulties which are
out there. Subhanallah because I believe that Yama, Josefina, wa
salam, Managua, setInterval Hamdulillah, here on
the point of a lecture is to encourage people to act to get
further an inspiration, and encouragement, persuasion. The
next step is to actually start learning seriously, to read books
to take on a subject of Islam and to understand all the subjects of
Islam at least at the basic level, so that we can become more aware
of what our Dean wants from us. And that's why we started Rayyan
courses, so that you can actually take organize lectures on demand
whenever you have free time, especially for example, the
Islamic essentials course that we have on there, the Islamic
essentials certificate, which you take 20 Short modules, and at the
end of that inshallah you will have gotten the basics of most of
the most important topics in Islam and you'll feel a lot more
confident. You don't have to leave lectures behind you can continue
to be, you know, to listen to lectures, but you need to have
this more sustained study as well as aka la harem Salam aleikum wa
rahmatullah wa barakato.
