So to give you an to give you an example, when you're studying, now
is the time for studying online before that did not exist where
you can study online with a teacher.
Now, as soon as you start studying online, it opens up the option to
have recordings so that if you miss a class, it's recorded when
you had to attend live, and then you had to take special
permission, can I actually record the class, but now that it's
happening online with Zoom and places like that, the recording
function is there by default. So what happens with a lot of
students, they start afresh, they pay the money, they pay fees, they
pay the you know, and then they start and they all fresh. And then
after that something happens, and you miss your class. They know
it's recorded. Anyway. I'll listen to it later. This is the fifth no
recording.
Okay, this is the fifth no recording. I'll do it later. So
then you missed the one class the next day, something else comes up,
do you think well, that's recorded as well. I'll do that one later.
And then the third one you managed to do, but then the fourth one,
something else comes up? Oh, I'll do that later. It's recorded.
Anyway. Now you've got three classes to catch up on your
weekend.
And the classes will carry on the next Monday and Tuesday, you know,
and that weekend, it was busy. So now you've got three on your mind,
and that weighs on your head. And as soon as that starts weighing on
your head, it starts destroying everything about you. Your whole
system is destroyed as soon as you get concerned about it. And then
it's like, I can't go on to the next lesson till I've listened to
this. But I don't have time to listen to this and then eventually
you just don't take it. So then should we not have recordings?
Well, the problem with not have recordings is because too many
people are too busy these days, and there are genuine times where
they don't want to miss a class, but then they'll miss it. So I
don't know what's right and what's wrong.
You know, it's just everybody's personal discipline.

Jalla Jalla who are Manuel wa salatu salam, O Allah say you will
have you will know stuff. Salallahu Derrida are they who are
either early or Sufi albaraka was seldom at the Sleeman cathedral,
Eli Yomi De
Amma Bert to carry on with our series on Ignatov illogical
Iskander is the book of wisdoms, which is his Kitab al HECM. We're
on page 113.
And it's the last wisdom on the page which say, which is 194. This
is what he says. He says, clear the tar at the urinal Oh God, Kala
Yumna aka and how would you do this with
what was sad Eagle walked K dub colloca his subtle FDR.
So quite a simple one tells us why Allah subhanho wa Taala has
legislated worships for us at particular times, and the wisdom
behind this. It may be something that we've never heard before to
be honest in this with this perspective. So this is what he
says he says, Allah laid down specific times for acts of
obedience, so that procrastination, not divert you
from them. Allah subhanaw taala fixed worships for particular
times, so that our natural desire to delay things and push things
back and do them later procrastination, not divert us
from them.
And he made each time the time that he fixed, he made each time
span ample, so that you would also have a share in making the choice.
So while he fixed times, they weren't five minutes, fixed five
minutes or 10 minutes, he actually gave us the shortest time for any
praise over an hour or more. Right. So which still gives us
enough room to play with some amazing the psychology that's
involved in here because it's from Allah subhanaw taala. So that's
what he's that's what we're going to be looking at today. It's
telling us the wisdom of why prayers, fasting,
even Zakat, and hedge in particular why it's all at certain
times their obligations, but they in certain times. The reason is
that it is a human trait. It's a human trait that we delay. It
would say probably most people like to put off things. Some
people are very regimented. They're very regimental, they try
to make everything be on time. But both of those things are
problematic if somebody's regimental all the time. Problem
is not everybody else in the world that you rely on that you do
things with
do you collaborate with, they don't always play ball with you.
And then you get upset for nothing. Because I want everything
on time. But the problem is that I'm not always with people, the
team, or my neighbor, or my classmates, or the bus, or
whatever it is, that's going to be on time. So,
so that's why there's a bit of everything in this. So but it's
part of the nuts that we delay, procrastinate, and just leave off
for a while. And then we have big hopes as well. That's the thing.
We still have hopes, we always have hopes, we're going to do it,
we're going to do it. And we're going to do this and we're going
to do that as well. So now, what they're saying is that if Allah
subhanaw taala had left it at our to our choice that you look, you
need to do prays five times a day,
then eventually, a person probably would end up never turning to
their Lord's
never turning to the Lord, a person will probably end up never
because it will be procrastinating, leaving today's
prayers for the evening. And eventually, that will get too
much. And then you leave it for the next day and the next day and
the next day and the next day.
So to give you an to give you an example, when you're studying, now
is the time for studying online before that did not exist where
you can study online with a teacher.
Now, as soon as you start studying online, it opens up the option to
have recordings so that if you miss a class, it's recorded when
you have to attend live, and then you had to take special
permission, can I actually record the class, but now that it's
happening online with Zoom and places like that, the recording
function is there by default. So what happens with a lot of
students, they start afresh they pay the money, they pay fees, they
pay the you know, and then they start and they all fresh. And then
after that something happens, and you miss your class. Oh, it's
recorded Anyway, listen to it later. This is the fifth no
recording.
Okay, this is the fifth no recording. I'll do it later. So
then you missed the one class the next day, something else comes up
and you think well, that's recorded as well. I'll do that one
later.
And then the third one you managed to do. But then the fourth one,
something else comes up. Oh, I'll do that later. It's recorded
anyway. Now you've got three classes to catch up on your
weekend.
And the classes will carry on the next Monday and Tuesday, you know,
and that weekend, it was busy. So now you got three on your mind,
and that weighs on your head. And as soon as that starts weighing on
your head, it starts destroying everything about you. Your whole
system is destroyed as soon as you get concerned about it. And then
it's like, I can't go on to the next lesson till I've listened to
this. But I don't have time to listen to this. And then
eventually you just don't take it. So then should we not have
recordings? Well, the problem with not have recordings is because too
many people are too busy these days. And there are genuine times
where they don't want to miss a class, but then they'll miss it.
So I don't know what's right and what's wrong.
You know, it's just everybody's personal discipline, same thing
will happen with worship. In fact, even though Allah subhanaw taala
has obligated worship, and is followed in certain times, there
are still people who end up praying,
hoping to pray at least five prayers at night in a short time,
or missing the Fajr or at least are missing. Maybe though her are
missing US or somewhere or the other.
So imagine if there was no time at all, where you just were given
okay, you need to do this many prayers in your life,
we probably most of us will probably end up dying without
fulfilling them except the few. So when Allah subhanho wa Taala had
absolute knowledge about how human beings are and his servants, that,
especially this talking about those who the love of Allah is not
strong enough in them to get them up. And to do what it is those who
have love of Allah, they will not never forget this. Because when
your beloved wants something from you, then you consider it a crime
even if they don't, to not do that, because the love is what
dictates you and it drives you and pushes you this is what it is. If
for those people who the Love does not inspire, and does and just
mere interest does not create the pushing them. So what Allah
subhanaw taala does is that Allah subhanaw taala has driven us with
chains
with chains, and the chain is you better pray at this time. What are
the chains actually the change? Is the hellfire.
What the cannot be careful of the Hellfire. Be careful of the
Hellfire, beware of the Hellfire. So that's the stick that Allah
subhanaw taala warns us of, or then he's laid out a whole net of
carrots, which means the whole net of merits and bonuses and rewards
with the bounties of Jana with the constant descriptions of Jana one
of these should work for us
They should all work for us.
So Allah subhanho wa Taala as promised those who are obedient to
Him and who try to get close to him by an everlasting bounty,
everlasting bounty, not just some, that you enjoy your time for a few
months and then a calamity hits you, or that you enjoy for a few
years and then you become sick, so sick that your life becomes
miserable. This is the hereafter where there will be no misery.
So then Allah subhanaw taala obligated upon us
something by which we can show it obedient to Allah. Otherwise, how
else would slaves show their slaves if there was nothing to
show?
All we're doing when we're making Salatu was we're showing we're
slaves to Allah. That's what he wants. Here you go Allah, this is
I'm your slave. I'm offering this to you.
But then Allah subhanho wa Taala made it easy for us. He said,
Okay, you have to do it at these times. And of course, if he left
that, then very few, only those people with strong love for Allah
subhanaw taala or a very strong.
I've come across people, they've told me that the only reason I
pray sometimes is because I just felt hellfire. I've not really
developed the love yet. It's not in my radar, the love for Allah.
That's not a lot of people are like that. They just like, Man, I
don't want to go to hellfire. That's what scares me. But I think
if we focus on the love of Allah, that would be a much more
powerful, profitable way of doing it be a lot more inspirational, a
lot more beneficial, and a lot easier. You know, when you have to
do something, rather than out of fear out of hope. For some kind of
this isn't even hopeful paradise, this is just hope that I want to
you know, I want to be a good lover of Allah subhanaw taala.
However, though, Allah he says that how Allah subhanaw taala
sticks the time, but he's kept the time
with enough
with enough scope in there so that you can still do your things.
Because the person if it was 10 minutes, you may not have wudu,
you may not be in the state to do that. You may be some urgent thing
comes up, but you've got a one hour, two hours, five hours. And
in somebody in England, you have, I don't know, 10 hours for certain
prayers, or even more, right?
So you see humans always like choice. And this is psychology
always give them or at least make them imagine they've got choice.
But we have choice. So we've got the choice of when you can pray
ourselves.
So that's really easy, makes things easy. When you give them
choice, you still have to do it. And I'll give you a choice. So for
example, Allah subhanaw taala, allowed door to be done to Lhasa.
It's not even my crew, not that you should delay because there is
superiority of doing the earlier
rather than later. There is some difference on whether it's when
it's very hot. And when's the best time to keep Jamar so that you
don't have to force people to go out in the peak some sun in hot
countries, for example, is a delayed, then maybe you know,
that's a different issue. At the end of the day, your salad will
not be even mcru. If you delayed it to Oslo time, sorry, just
before a certain time. Thereafter that we've got ourselves that can
be delayed until the red reddening of the Sun if you really have to
push it, it does get mcru In that case, but you've got enough time
before that. But Allah says, look until this sun actually starts
setting you can get your answer in.
And then Mercury ventilation, though it is superior to do it
sooner than later. But still, it's still there are some people who
have a misunderstanding in this that if you don't do it within the
first 1520 minutes, then it's like ah, then I might as well pray
later, it's actually completely wrong. The proper Maghrib time
remains until Aisha time.
Yes, it's superior to do it earlier. And it's more crude the
more you delay it, but it's still time is still not cut off. So you
still better off doing it until a Showtime comes in.
And then after that you've got a short time until the night until
Fudger technically until Fudger
all the way you don't want to delay because you may there is a
lot of people who try to follow the Sunnah of trying to do
tahajjud and then Witter, and they miss their waiter. Now, if you
miss the hygiene and you slept, it's okay. You know you've not got
a sin. But if you miss winter, then you got a problem. The other
day somebody told me I missed quite a few winters because I
can't wake up. So please just do your winter first. And if you wake
up, you can do it. The hygiene is not wrong to do tahajud without
Witter, but at least you're not missing, you're not missing your
return. And then I'm not sure that the Fajr time we have at least at
least one and a half hours or more actually, depending on what time
of the year is where you are. So the reason why all of these are
fixed times is just so that Allah protects us from procrastination,
which would eventually just lead to abandoning them. And that's why
the idea is that
along with you forever, Allah subhanaw taala allowed told us to
do Sunnah prayers, so that if we do, you know, you are attacked, if
there's a castle and it's attacked, they have, they have
many points of defense. So at the end of the day, if something gets
attacked, it's the outer walls, it's not the inner sanctuary,
right? And that's the same thing. If something does go wrong, then
it's our Nephal we'd get effected, worse comes to worse. It's our
Sooners that get affected but not our fault. Now, if you're only
doing fault, then can you imagine then if anything is gonna go, it's
going to be our fault. Pray that it's gonna go. Now if Allah
subhanaw taala had fixed it just to 10 minutes, it would have been
immense amount of difficulty because you'd have to, you're
literally they would be you'd have to wait for those 10 minutes
Jelenia Osbourne do the salad at that time, and then okay, I'm
done. But then you may need to go and relieve yourself at that time,
you may be just very hungry, or you may just not have although you
may.
That's why
there's a statement that Allah subhanaw taala says to His
servant, didn't I bring you out of nothingness, bring you out of non
existence, you did not exist before I brought you into
existence. And then after that, I supported you.
I extended to
your energy,
your physical capacity, the food you needed, the nourishment
needed. All of this came from my providence. All of this came from
my grace. All of this came from my benevolence and generosity. Think
about.
I gave you eyes to see with I basically gave you light. Light is
one of the most important things in this world, both the physical
light outside light in our hearts, which is Iman, and light, in terms
of what we see, this is all types of light. That's why Allah who
noticed some articles, why did I give you light, so that you could
buy that conceive, perceive and comprehend the various different
signs of my capability, my power,
and my major science. So the sign that you have the light that you
have is supposed to be to see Allah subhana wa Taala signs
around us.
Thereafter, I also gave you Inner Light basura in a light and vision
so that you could actually start comprehending my message, my
commands. My address to you why, why is all of this for?
If somebody thinks that they only doing worship because it's to
protect from hellfire,
then that's wrong. Because the real reason we want to do it is to
be with Allah subhanaw taala is to thank Allah subhanaw taala and is
to express our servitude, because to be honest, even paradise is
just a means. The only reason we want to go to Paradise is because
that's where it's promised that you will get to see Allah every
week. There's nowhere else that Allah has promised to be that you
can come and visit me, except in paradise. That's why we want to go
to paradise. Can you imagine from the idea that, Oh, I just want to
go to Paradise because I really want to enjoy it, there is some
really nice.
Whatever you want to think
that's great. That's fine. Those are just side perks, I think, keep
the gaze because all of those things will just be given to us
anyway, the main focus is that we want to meet with Allah subhanaw
taala. Because after meeting Allah subhanaw taala do gentlemen,
everybody will see him, the only other time that you will see him
all the time is going to be in paradise. That's why we go to
paradise. So I've given you light in the various different forms,
I've given you your capacity, your ability, your physical capability,
and everything else. So by doing good deeds, and I've obligated
these good deeds for you, so then you can stay away from my
punishment, and you can hope for my reward.
So then what I did was, I didn't just make this obligatory on you
to pray solid five times a day and do all of these other things. I
said, You know what do them but I'm also going to reward you for
do them Subhanallah
that's amazing. Gonna reward you
for the work that you do.
Like, take care of your family, and I'm going to reward you for
that.
Eat and I'm going to reward you for that. Like it's to my own
benefit. I'm going to enjoy it, but I'm going to reward you for
that if you do sugar. However, just to make sure you stay on
track. I also
warned you of punishment if you oppose.
Then after that, the things that I've made obligatory on you, the
atma they've made obligatory on you are only the amount that I
know you have the capability
Allah declares that in the Quran Allah you can live Allah when I've
seen Llosa I've only made those things which are within your
capability.
And then after that I even made it easy for you that you don't have
to do it in five minutes or 10 minutes, you know, I've given you
an hour, two hours or more to be able to do this in.
And then the other thing is that if you miss any of this, any of
the obligations, I've given you your whole life until you die.
I've just not told you when you're gonna die. But if you manage to
fulfill whatever you've missed, from the beginning of your life to
the end of your life, by the time you end your life, you've managed
to fulfill it, I'm still willing to forgive you. I'm still willing
to accept it from you.
And that's the amazing part the cover, you see how powerful the
cover is.
And mashallah, I'm getting to know more and more people who finished
their cover Al Hamdulillah
this is amazing. In the time of Omar Abdulaziz, it was only two
and a half years that he ruled for but mashallah the effect that he
had on the people. The top down effects was that people were the
conversation became Brother, how many colors you got left?
You know, nowadays, it's how many Bitcoins are you have you got?
About Aetherium or whatever it's called, which one's going up
telling me you know, Yep, I've been a bit slow in that. How many
properties do you have? That's the discussion because that's the big
boom right now, right?
But that's what it was, it was how many solids have you finished? How
many have you got left? And mashallah, I'm, you know,
mashallah, there's a lot of people who have started to do them now.
And, and some people might show that they don't have many colors,
or they don't know cuddles as well. hamdulillah May Allah make
us all from that, but you just have to start. If we die trying,
then at least we're on the path. That's the main thing. If we die
trying, well, we're definitely on the path. So Allah is saying,
Look, I'll give you until the end of your life.
However, you don't know when you're gonna die. Yes, you've got
averages 60 years, 70 years, your dad died at 90, maybe you got
longer runs in your genes. Right? But try to get it done sooner.
Don't wait until.
And then he says, Who's stopping you from doing it?
What's stopping you from doing it? What are your excuses? What are
the obstacles in your path from doing the good that I've told you
to do?
So that means the only if I've given you so much opportunity,
then that means that the only thing which can stop you is your
own demons, there's nothing else that can stop you. And that's why
there's an Arabic saying and I think you can have that in
English. It says mon Bala by Java. For those who understand Arabic,
this really interesting things in mon Bolivar, Java, woman harbor
harbor. Basically, whoever
goes in AVID avidly seeks out, they will eventually get through,
they'll be successful. Essentially, Java means to kind of
get through and penetrate. Which means that, you know, if you're a
person who makes an effort and is brave enough, takes the risk and
goes and does what they can, you will get through, meaning go and
do your worship. Just do it. Because whoever keeps fearing for
whatever reason, I'm fearing what somebody says, what my friends are
going to say, what this person is going to say what that person is
going to say because as I've mentioned a few times before, that
one of the biggest debilitating factors in our life is our weird
individual cultures that we have that are that suffocate us that
don't let us do what's really right. And we're never free until
you can get out of that. Whether that be your family culture, your
friend culture, or your home culture.
You have to set yourself free from that. The culture needs to be the
culture of Allah. That's what it needs to be no culture besides
that, is going to that that's all imprisonment. So then he says
Whoever keeps fearing whoever is scared, then they're going to be
lost. That's the That's the principle of the world isn't it?
And that's why I look at what Allah subhanaw taala says, Allah
just wants us to make the effort and try
put the put the time into it. This is a verse of the Quran Surah Al
and Kabuto Allah subhanaw taala says in six verse 69 of it, where
he connects making an effort and guidance.
See because a lot of us we think that Oh, if only Allah can just
place it into my heart and give me the the desire and
the interest and the addiction to doing this then it'll become so
easy.
But then then that means we don't have choice then then it's just
like, Okay, we got an addiction.
Allah wants us to do it from choice and then it will become
like that he wants us to show the first step so that's why Allah
says, What Lizzie Naja, do fina Luna dn home. sabula Anna.
We're in law Hello ma Martini.
Those who make an effort in us,
we will guide them to our paths. That's a guarantee, make the
effort and Allah will guide.
Not one day, it might take five days, it might take five months.
But Allah wants to see the effort that we put in. Now if you're
gonna say that, Oh, I don't enjoy my prayer. So why should I pray?
We need to show the efforts Allah is with the ones who do good.
So that's the assistance of Allah he just, let's try and Allah will
make it better. Another poet says lo so Himachal Hawa or Shiite
delille Haley
was cidco safe on uni Lu. Hi, Atul, Emily Virkon Aha, him met in
this movie Sahibi her Walter con with Awani, Mahabharata Lima Lee,
what that basically means
and I think this can, this can, this is a wisdom for basically
anything in this world, right. And you will see that successful
people, this is exactly what they do. He said that, if the desire
from you is solid, like if you have proper desire in you,
then you will be guided to the strategies, people who have a
proper desire to do the right thing, then even though they may
be an obstacle, they may be an issue, there may be confusion or a
complication. You'll you'll figure it out. Right? You'll figure it
out. You really have a desire to help somebody you will figure it
out.
You know, you get a builder inside and do this. And if they're not
somebody who has who build a plumber, anybody or an
electrician, it's a bit complicated, right? Because you
have to get from here to there. And it's not straightforward. So
no, you can't do it. Let's just x. Let's just expose the pipes and do
it outside and it looks ugly. But the guy who has a you know who's
got some senses said no, no, I'm going to make a bit more effort.
I'm going to do it through the wall. Yes, it's going to take a
bit longer, but at least it's going to look good as well.
Right? So once you really want to do something, Allah helps you, you
will be guided towards the strategies. Allah has given the
insane, amazing mind, amazing mind to come up with strategies. And
then he says that if you're truthful as well, you have the
sincerity,
truthfulness, sincerity is
the sword, the weapon
which will allow you to attain your objectives. You have to have
a true sincere longing to get what you want as well.
Right? So you have to you have to have this.
Let's get it attitude and sincerity and Inshallah, then he
says, Be somebody with high aspiration.
high aspiration is what elevates its its holder. Anybody has high
aspiration. Anybody who possesses it, you will heighten you, you
will be elevated with high aspiration.
And don't Don't be lagging behind. Don't Don't. Don't because of
being a lagging person, or neglecting person. Don't become
one of those whose actions are wasted. You don't get anything you
have nothing to show at the end. Robbie IGNOU Haytham Rahim Allah
He used to constantly recite the following verse and used to cry
about it. So to jatheon Verse 21
has Evalina Jetta who say ye T and gerada? Whom? And Gerardo whom
Kela the man who I mean, also the hat. So
Mahi mahiya Houma to
comun
those people who perpetrate bad deeds, those people who do bad
deeds, have they thought that we're going to make them the same.
We're gonna treat them the same way. Like those who have believed
and have done good deeds
that they're living and dying is going to be the exact same. What a
bad judgment they have.
What a evil judgment that is so debilitating, so. Oh, at least
we're Muslim. At least we pray at least we do this. Know There's
difference between those who do more and there's difference
between those who do less the big difference? Allah subhanho wa
Taala wants to give everybody it's not like everybody's gonna get the
same then what's the point of doing more action and trying to
get the mercy of Allah to your side.
So then he used to say
he used to always be crying about this. He used to say, how I wish I
knew which one of these Oh my enough's How I wish I knew which
one of these you were. Many of the earlier they have a name for this
verse. They call it mob gear to mob gear to liability. This is the
verse that makes
The worshipers cry?
Like, am I doing enough? Am I doing enough? Am I doing enough?
You see with anything the more you get into it, the more nuanced and
refined you'll be in seeing it. So initially when somebody starts
worshipping, I've done the prayer Alhamdulillah that's great. I've
done the prayer. As you start getting to know Allah subhanaw
taala more than it's about, have I done a good prayer?
How powerful is my prayer? How refined is my prayer? How
is my prayer? How faultless is my prayer. You see how the journey of
prayer gets longer? So if somebody is still at the journey that oh
man in the mosque, personally, I've prayed I've put down a few
rockets
or is it popped out a few rockets, these are different slangs people
use is put down a few records. That's not what it is. It's as
we've discussed, in the last ones, it's about establishing the prayer
so it becomes more refined. Any game is like that. You play a game
of tennis, you play a game of football, man, you just happy to
be on the field with a with a ball or a racket. But eventually, then
every little part becomes separated. And then you need to
master each section of it. That's how you become good at the whole
thing. And the same thing with salad. Is my standing Correct? Are
my postures Correct? Is my focus Correct?
Is how I begin my salad. How I get into this correct is how I ended
and what I do afterwards. Is that correct? Same thing with vicar.
Actually. Initially, you're just happy the marshal I've been able
to do 100 This visa Alhamdulillah lived in Subhan Allah 100 times
Alhamdulillah. And that's an achievement. But then eventually,
like, how much of that did I do correctly?
How much did I think of Allah during this time? Everything. And
the thing is, what's really interesting is that we're living
in a time when the world has become a very nuanced place.
There's nothing you can master is even a simple job of painting, you
can't go into a shop and just grab the first kind of paint. Because
you might buy you might buy wood paint for the wall that you're
trying to do. You can't just buy the first type of paint
right? There's just too much choice. Too much choice means
there's nuance so in everything of the world is nuanced, but there's
nothing in a bother in worship. You just have to do it anyhow.
Fasting the same fasting we've been doing for years. We do it the
same way right now. There's no version 234 You know, Allah wants
the highest version.
Nine Allah Allah make it easy for us. And that's why Sal, if not
Abdullah to study
he used to say about this verse used to say, Lisa, hello, Noir.
fucka girl Mahadeva.
You have to remember that when Allah says that, do those people
who who do bad deeds Do you think? Do they think that we're going to
make them the same as those who do good deeds,
bad disk, the bad judgment they making? He says no, they're not
the same. Because for the people who do good, and who conform with
everything that Allah subhanho wa Taala wants to the best of their
ability. Allah subhanaw taala says about them in solitude comma,
verse 55, Fi MCI, they say the king and the Maliki Moqtada.
They're going to be in those places of
truth, special seats for the people of truth in the Hereafter
with the capable Lord, the powerful Lord, and those people
who opposed the other beside the punishment of hellfire.
So we ask Allah subhana wa Tada to allow this to benefit us. And to
make us have the little muah fucka the people who do good deeds and
who become better with each day as it passes. And each month as it
passes, and each year as it passes. And as we get closer to
our death.
We make an effort to make all of our colors up, whether that be a
fasting, whether that be off solid, and it's not complicated. I
said I know a person who had seven years minimum seven years of
prayer.
And I remember when he told me he's got seven years of prayer,
probably about four or five years ago.
I've known him for about four or five years.
So mashallah seven years of Cadabra
and I think it wasn't some of that he didn't completely miss. It was
because I think he did muscle on his socks or something, but part
of that if you know, and he wanted to correct it properly.
And now mashallah, within four to five years, I think it's about
2017
Alhamdulillah I've done my salah I said where's your party? I need a
party from you.
So he said No wait, I've got my fasting to make up. So he's got
some fasting to make up and then inshallah I'm hoping for a party
just to be happy ones Subhan Allah so definitely something to be
happy about. May Allah allow us to be debt free before we leave this
world
and then we just hope for the best at least we don't want to go with
debts then that's really messed up.

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 deen 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 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 live,
you know to listen to lectures, but you need to have this more
sustained study as well as Aquila harem salaam aleikum wa
rahmatullah wa barakato.
