The speaker discusses the importance of sujood in Islam and how it can lead to happiness and success. They explain that every single Sujood spent 10 seconds per day means about 0.3% of your life spent in sujood, which is the closest you can get to Allah's title.

00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			Brothers and sisters in Islam,
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			I want to share with you something about
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			a sujood prostration
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			and I hope this
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			completely changes your life
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:18
			and it changes your attitude about Suzhou.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
			We all know
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			that the position we are most closest to
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			Allah Azojal
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			is in sujood in prostration.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			As the messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam informed us.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:30
			And
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			we are praying at least 17 rakat a
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			day, that's the 4th.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			Every Raka' contains 2 Sujood,
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			so bare minimum
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			we are making 34
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			Sujood every single day.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			Let's say we spent 10 seconds per Sujood.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			I don't believe that's the majority of us.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			People are making Sujood way less than that,
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			but let's just
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			say that every sujood you've spent 10 seconds.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			That would equal
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			to a total of approximately
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			6 minutes per day,
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			from 24 hours
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			only 6 minutes
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			was spent
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			in the most beloved deed to Allah
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			in a deed that brings you the most
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			closest to Allah
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			Now imagine you prayed for an entire
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			year 365
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			days, and you only prayed the fard and
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			you only made the fort sujood
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			and each one 10 seconds.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			You would have made a total of 1.5
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			days of sujood
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			out of
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			365 days,
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			1 and a half days in sujood
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			and if you prayed 60 years of your
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			life
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			you would have made
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:50
			75
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			days of them in Suzut.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			So that's
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			0.3%
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			of your life
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			spent in sujood,
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			the closest you would have been ever
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			in this earth to Allah Azzojal.
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			Are you ready to meet Allah Azojal
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			with
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			0.3%
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			of your life spent
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			in the most beloved deed to him Subhanahu
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			wa ta'ala.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			I don't think we're ready and even let's
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:22
			say we prayed double the amount of Alaka'at
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			we usually pray in a day. So instead
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			of praying 17, which is the fard, you
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			add it to this,
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			a sunan and so on. Even then
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			You would only
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			make about less than 1%
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			of your life spent in sujood.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			So what is the solution brothers and sisters
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			in Islam? What is the solution? I give
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			you a solution.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			Allah Azzawajal, he said,
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			Allah
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			says from the night
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			make sujood for him,
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			prostrate to him.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:01
			And so
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			the night
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			is
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			the time of the day
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			in where we have an opportunity
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:10
			to increase
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			and to fall in love
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			with this act of worship
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			that Allah
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:18
			loves
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			in the night.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			Prolong your sujood.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			This is the closest you'll ever be to
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			Allah.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			Meet Allah Azawajal
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			Having spent a lot of your life
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			in sujood
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:34
			so that
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:38
			Allah saves you from the horrors and the
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			terrors of that day
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40
			on the day of judgment
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:42
			sujood
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			This is something that we were doing
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46
			throughout Ramadan
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			in the night prayers, and we got used
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:49
			to it.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:50
			So now
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			Carry on that momentum,
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:54
			keep going.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			With sujood
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			is going to be
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			a life changer.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:03:59
			Allah
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:00
			says about
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			They had a brightness on their face.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			They had
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			radiance on their face.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:19
			From the effects of a sujood Allah said
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			a sujood is going to instill happiness in
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23
			your life.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			It's going to bring goodness and success in
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			your life by the permission of Allah
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			You're going to be calm and tranquil,
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			because the one who spends a long time
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:34
			in sujood
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			knows his Lord,
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			knows Allah
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			as opposed to the one who pecks the
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			ground,
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			pecks the ground
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			goes into sujood
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:47
			before his head is down. It's already up
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			This is a person that does not know
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:50
			Allah
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:52
			the one who knows Allah
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:54
			will spend
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			many minutes in a sujood.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:05:00
			So start this, start this practice
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			before you sleep pray 2 raka'at
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			and in every sujood
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			spend 2 3 minutes
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			and gradually build build and increase.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			And you'll know what I'm talking about. You'll
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:11
			reach a stage
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:13
			in your life
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			where you will not need this advice anymore.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			A sujood becomes a part of you. It
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			becomes an identity.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22
			It becomes something you cannot sleep without doing.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			I ask Allah, Azzurajal, to grant us goodness
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			and accept from us. Allahu Alam,
