			Bismillah, walhamdulillahirabbilahalamin
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:05
			brothers and sisters in Islam, this is a
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:05
			message
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			to these many Muslims that
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			are fasting, they observe the fasting of Ramadan,
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			but they do not pray. SubhanAllah.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17
			They are fasting from food and drink
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
			and intimate relations, and they are also fasting
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
			from a salat,
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			and this is not something that is pleasing
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
			to Allah a zwajal. We must fear Allah
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			a zwajal brothers and sisters in
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:32
			Islam. Assalat is more important than fasting.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			It is more important than all the deeds
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			that we know in Islam.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			This is why it was the 2nd pillar
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			in Islam.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			The one who fasts
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			and does not pray is like the one
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			who prays without Wudu.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			His Wudu, his Salat is invalid, it is
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51
			not correct, and it is not accepted.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			We need to fear Allah, Subhanahu
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			Llah that you are fasting, Alhamdulillah.
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			But make this fasting of yours
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:02
			motivate you to establish a salat during your
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			life and to never abandon it.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			Brothers and sisters in Islam, the first matter
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			that we are questioned about on the day
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			of judgment is our salat.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			As the Messenger mentioned,
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			That's the first thing you'll be questioned about
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			your 5 daily prayers.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			If
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			it was correct and it was in shape
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			and it was maintained
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			and you prayed on time
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			then all your deeds will be accepted and
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			they will all be good with their flaws
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			and their shortcomings.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			And if a salat fasadasay
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:43
			o amari,
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			if your salat
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			is neglected and it comes on the day
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			of judgment corrupt,
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			you don't have anything, you haven't established it
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			well, you did not look after it, then
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			all your deeds, no matter how perfect they
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:59
			are, your fasting your sadaqa your Hajj your
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			Quran
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			all your deeds no matter how good they
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:03
			are
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			will all be rejected and will all be
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			corrupted as well. So it is not worth
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			it that you skip a salat.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			Brothers and sisters in Islam, let us take
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:16
			the opportunity in this blessed month of Ramadan
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			to become serious in our salat, to become
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			committed upon a salat.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			And it's very easy, just like you fast
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			for Allah,
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			you're establishing
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:28
			a salat for the same Lord Subhanahu Wa
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:28
			Ta'ala.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			So we ask Allah
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			to make us of those who establish
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			a salat in their life. There are only
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			5 prayers.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			Remember, they used to be 50 prayers. Then
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			Allah
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			reduced it to 5 prayers,
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			and he gave us the reward of 50
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			prayers when we pray 5 prayers, Allahu Akbar,
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			From the mercy of Allah Azzawajal.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			May Allah Azzawajal grant us forgiveness and acceptance.
