Abu Taymiyyah – A Basic 32 Line Poem On Fiqh @MadinahCollege

AI: Transcript ©
The Sheikh starts off with the Bismala,
and then
he goes on to the Hamdulah.
He says,
It says I start off with doing hamd
of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
If you were to now translate al hamd
literally,
what do we normally find in the,
tafasi or should I say the translations of
the Quran? As soon as you open up
Surat al Fatiha, how do they translate? Alhamdulillahrubalalamin.
All praise. Let me tell you all brothers
and sisters, the English language does not give
the Arabic, the Arabic language justice,
and we'll find out how.
Here,
alhamdu my beloved brothers and sisters,
it means in the Arabic language,
We just mentioned a whole sentence just to
explain what alhamd, which means
to attribute completeness
to the one who's deserving of all praise
coupled with love and glorification.
I'll say that again.
To attribute completeness
to the one who is deserving of all
praise
coupled with love
and glorification.
Let me ask you a question, right?
1 may praise a certain individual.
Does that necessitate that he loves him when
he does so?
In all cases,
one may praise but it isn't coupled with
love and glorification.
A little bit like what used to happen
back in olden times, right? The king
would hold a poetry competition.
The one who has the best form of
poetry praising the king, he would win.
He would walk away with the prize money.
So you have the poets entering 1 after
the other, praising the king, the one who
has the best form of phrase. It is
him that walks away with the prize money.
Probably the winner,
by the time he reaches the outside of
the palace,
he's speaking bad about the king,
right? He's speaking bad about the king maybe
even mocking him, maybe
making jokes about him.
He praised him, however did he now couple
that with love and glorification?
The answer is no.
So
it is more than just praise.
Alhamd is more than just praise.
It is to
attribute
completeness to the one who is deserving of
all praise coupled with
love and
glorification.
So the Sheikh says
I start off with doing hamdaba Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala my Lord,
the one who in if
he wishes,
if he wishes
good for his servant
which means his servant Khayron which means good.
He gives him alfaq.
What does Al Fiqh mean in the language?
Al Fiqh in the language my beloved brothers
and sisters,
I will say linguistically
it means al fahm
which means to understand. Wa Alaikum Assalamu alaikum
Wa Alaikum Wa Wa Alaikum.
It means to understand.
Okay. It means
to understand.
If we narrowed it down a little bit
more,
some of the,
linguistics they say
it is to understand
something
inherently.
To
understand it inherently.
You can even narrow that down a little
bit more. They say
to understand that which
is intended by the speaker.
However, all of these different meanings that we
mentioned, these linguistic meanings, they all fall under
what? Al faham to understand.
Like Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
he tells us about
what the people of Shoaib said to the
prophet that was sent to them.
Indeed
we don't have fiqh of that which you
say meaning we don't understand what you say.
Okay, but the term fiqh was used.
Also Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
he tells us about Musa when he said
Remove any knots from my tongue so that
they may have fiqh of what I say.
Meaning they understand what I say.
Is that clear my beloved brothers and sisters?
Let's now move on to the technical meaning
of Al Fiqh.
Al Fiqh has a general meaning
and then it has more of a
narrowed down
technical meaning.
When Al Fikh is mentioned my beloved brothers
and sisters,
okay, it is as Shaykh Al Samtaimur Rahmatullahi
mentions
It is to understand
the commandments
and prohibitions
of the legislator.
So it's more than just
the halal and the haram that we learn
in studies like this one.
Normally when fiqh is mentioned, what's the first
thing that pops to mind?
Although
Salah, fasting, Hajj and so on and so
forth. Alayza is Gharayik, isn't that so?
However, the term Fikh
the way it was used before it became
more specific
to this
science that we are going to be studying
today inshallah wata'ala.
It encompassed
all of the commandments and prohibitions of the
Sharia.
So that one may have insight of his
Deen.
It could be in issues of Al Aqidah.
It could be in issues of Al Fiqh.
It could be
that which the Messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam commanded
and instructed
in whatever science it might be, right?
All of these different sciences they fall under
what? Al Fiqh.
This is the general meaning of alfik.
You then have the most specific narrowed down
technical meaning of al fiqh, which is that
which we are studying.
Which is that which
we are studying
and that is
The translation of that is
to have knowledge
of the rulings,
to have knowledge of the rulings of the
Sharia,
pertaining to the physical action or that which
is practical,
which has been deduced,
which has been deduced
from the detailed primary evidences.
Aladillah Taw Syria.
Like Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala he says Wa
Akeemus Salah, establish the salah.
Okay, we've been commanded to pray. Alisq Adalik,
You open up the books of fiqh, it
says that the salah is what?
It's something that we all must do as
Muslims,
right? And then it goes into
the ins and the outs of the salat.
Then you have a siyam goes into the
ins and the outs of a siyam, and
then Hajj and so on and so forth.
Okay.
I don't want to bore every single one
of you guys with technicalities,
but just bear with me. Technicalities
are always at the beginning and then Insha'Allah
we will go into the more practical side
of things, okay.
The first line of poetry my beloved brothers
and sisters,
it reminds us of a particular hadith.
Who can give me the Hadith?
Hadith
when the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said
Whoever Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala wants good for,
He gives him that Fiqh in the religion,
He gives him that fiqh in the religion.
He says
every individual that Allah
wanted good for, He must give him
fiqh in the religion. And look what He
says, and this is what the Mafooman Mulkallafa,
the contrary
meaning of that which has been pronounced.
Okay, you have that which is the Mantuk,
that which you directly take
from what the sharia has pronounced
and then you have the contrary meaning of
what the sharia has pronounced, you learn that
more inshaAllah ta'ala in Usul Al Fikh this
is known as Mafooman Mughalafa,
the opposite meaning of it.
Whoever Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala did know what
I'm good for, He doesn't give him an
understanding of religion.
And normally what I tend to mention my
beloved brothers and sisters,
the fact that Allah
chose you to sit here,
right?
Indeed Istafaqah
Allah
has indeed honored you, chosen you from amongst
how many Muslims?
Millions of Muslims to be able to
gain an understanding in your religion.
He chose you from amongst all of your
family members
who may be busy with the dunya, who
may be busy with sin.
If you look at all of your friends
or those who are at similar age and
what they get up to throughout the week,
hasn't Allah azza wa jal blessed you to
be sitting in a gathering of knowledge?
That should really really make you feel
special. That Allah picks
you out or should I say hand picks
you out from all of these human beings
are just chasing none other than
Allahuwalaib.
Allahuwalaib.
Chasing that is what?
Of no benefit.
So may Allah azza wa jal honor every
single one of you
for making a sacrifice, especially on a weekday,
right,
to attend these classes.
And I know
people tend to be extremely busy on a
weekday, they have work, they have school, but
to take time out even though when you're
what?
Busy or tired or exhausted,
you will Insha'Allah
reap the fruits.
And look at it like this brothers and
sisters,
in accordance to how much effort you put
into something,
this is how much of success you will
acquire.
An Niska'ida
was mentioned by many of the scholars for
example, ibn alhamdulillahi
he says
All
did I say all
people of intellect have unanimously agreed.
You will not be able to attain or
acquire success with ease. Isn't that common sense?
It's common sense for anything that you
might try to acquire,
You have to work hard,
you must put the effort in.
Even Imam Shavir Hamatulaihe
says
In accordance to how much effort you put
into something, this is how much of
success
and loftiness that you will acquire,
right?
Elm doesn't come easy my beloved brothers and
sisters, you would have to put the effort
in
and then you will reap the fruits. Now
look at this this individual has who has
memorized the Quran. Look how Allah honors him.
Do you think it was easy for him
now to memorize the Quran?
Allah
chose him to lead the muslims
on the most honorable nights of the year,
the last 10 nights, right?
It's not the doctor that's leading it, it's
not the engineer,
it's not the one who is a professional
very well educated academically,
it is the one who
has memorized the book of Allah Azza wa
Jal. Look how Allah Azza wa Jal honored
him, right?
There is no way that you could come
up with a loss if one takes out
time to learn about what Allah told him.
Every single one of us was created for
one sole purpose. What is that one sole
purpose?
Allah says we didn't create the jinn and
the ils except
for worship, right? From behind the verse a
1000000 times.
We cannot fulfill
our sole reason of existence except by studying,
Rizkalalik.
Allah created us for that. He didn't create
us to become engineers or doctors
or mathematicians or teachers. Not that I'm saying
there's anything wrong with it,
right? There's no harm taking from the dunya
in that which is going to aid and
assist you hereafter.
And if that which we are chasing of
worldly pleasures is conflicting now
with
our sole reason of existence, we really need
to look twice at that.
As the Messenger Al Arabism told us, it
is mel'un,
right? It is cursed.
The whole dunya is cursed,
SubhanAllah.
Accept the remembrance of Allah, the one who
studies and the one who goes and teaches
it.
That's what the messenger of salallahu alaihi wa
sallam told us,
right. And I always mention this, right, if
we don't take anything away from seeking knowledge
other than the fact that we are able,
we are able
to
deal with our problems.
When things go wrong then it would be
enough of a benefit, it would be
enough of a benefit,
right?
A number of pharmacists have told me my
beloved brothers and sisters,
8 out of 10 of
8 out of 10
customers who walk in, they all ask for
antidepressants.
Many of them are rich, many of them
are very well educated,
right.
However they don't know how to overwhelm overcome
their problems.
Mal Asaf as Shadid,
right?
Learning the deen of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
gives you a simple and
easy remedy for that.
Just requires one to take some time out
to study.
If you look at all of these very
well known
youtubers,
very well known personalities,
they are all suffering.
They're all suffering my brothers and my sisters.
And it really just boils down them not
having a connection with their creator.
This is exactly what Allah Azzawalri told us
in the Quran woman
Whoever turns away from my remembrance I will
give him a depressed life.
Also Allah says
Whoever from the male and female there's righteous
acts
and from the greatest of righteous acts that
one can engage in is to seek knowledge,
to learn about his creator
and Allah Azawajal will solve whatever problems that
you are going through.
He's a believer, Allah will give him that
happy satisfying life that he's looking for.
Why is it that you see
very well wealthy individuals who are suffering.
But when you look at
a broke Talib al-'al who barely has anything,
he's so so satisfied.
It reminds me of the statement
of
I believe it was Ibrahim ibn Adham, or
one of the great scholars of the past
would be sitting by a river
and they would have
a dried bread,
dipping it into the river and then eating
it.
They would say to one another
If the kings and their children knew the
raha,
the contentment
and the peace that we experience and feel,
they would have indeed fought us for it
with their souls,
right.
Learning about your religion,
it gives you that contentment that money can't
buy.
So grant you so count yourself fortunate
and Allah chose you to better your relationship
with him
before
you are buried in the grave.
And then he goes on to say the
Sheikh, may Allah preserve him.
And then he goes on to send his
salat and salaam
upon the Messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
We say sallallahu alaihi wasallam quite often, right?
Every time the Messenger
is mentioned we should say
Does anybody know what it means?
Except those who attended the
class on the weekend.
Does anyone know what
means?
Sending peace,
Okay. Anyone else?
He mentioned
When we ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to
send salah upon the messenger sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam,
okay, we are asking Him to make good
mention of His prophet
in the congregation
of the angels.
It
is
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala making good mention of
His Prophet in the congregation or in the
assembly
of His angels.
Anunnas Salam.
Does anybody know?
Means
to protect the Messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam in
Jami al Afati washuroor
from all types of evils and humps. You
may ask the question now,
Messenger salaw alayhi wasalam has passed away.
The incident is very well known, it's Sahil
Bukhari Abu Bakr radiAllahu ta'ala and he stood
on the mimban and he said:
Whoever used to worship Muhammad sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam indeed he has passed away.
Whoever used to worship Allah and indeed Allah
lives and does not
die.
What harm is it that
the messenger
needs to be protected from?
Even those from his imam know he.
He says slander. Anyone else?
Those who curse him. Right?
Do we not find in every time and
era those who are trying to make the
Messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam look like a
barbaric bloodthirst individuals.
Do you not find that?
They're always trying to tarnish
his image.
Okay.
However Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala always sends those
who
defend his deen.
Are you with me my brothers and my
sisters?
Right?
It is protected
by the
guardians of the Sharia
with the ilm that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
has blessed them with.
Nam.
He says
So Assalat of Allah
and the salaam
upon the Nabi who is the Mu'alimilakam,
who is the teacher
of all rulings, right?
When we study Al Fiqh my beloved brothers
and sisters,
right, what are we trying to acquire or
what we're trying to attain?
We are trying to understand
the commandments, the prohibitions, the instructions
of the legislator,
I wish Allah mentioned to us in the
Quran and the messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
who came to teach us what is mentioned
in the Quran.
Indeed we have sent down the Quran upon
you so that you can make it clear,
you can clarify
that which Allah Azza wa Jal has sent
down for the people,
right?
Here the messenger salaam alayhi was is there
to teach us that which
Allah intends with his sayings
and statements,
right? So he's the Mu'ali Mulakam.
And with Al Fikh my beloved brothers and
sisters, when we are studying a particular madhab,
the objective is what? To become a madhabist?
To become a fanatic of any madhab?
La,
as the poet mentions,
These madahib
are like what a wasila it's a means
to reach
a bigger objective.
That level of the Fakih when you reach
that you are able to understand
the speech of the Messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
And what he really intended,
when he
commanded, instructed, when he prohibited and so on
and so forth. When he explained to us
what Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala came with.
And
then
he
says
says, which means to proceed.
Okay. When you move on from one topic
to another, you can say what? Wabad. That's
why we hear the imam or the khateeb
on Friday
after Khudbatul Hadi what did he say wabad.
Then he goes into a topic at hand.
He says have another more whole Azghr. It
is the most concise
and shortest of poems that you will come
across Filfikr, which is very true. It's a
32 line poetry which covers that which,
most or should I say just about everybody
here,
okay, is in need of. Filfilq,
he
he says, It's very easy to understand, it's
very, very clear and concise.
And then he says
The shaykh
initially authored this mandoma
for his children,
right.
He initially authored this poem for who?
For his children,
right.
Something that young
children today memorize,
right, which can also be memorized by elders.
Ulam doesn't have an age,
it's from the cradle to the grave.
Are your brothers and sisters with me?
The companions of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam, they embraced al Islam at a very
late age.
And even at the very late age they
were learning the basics
all the way up until they became scholars
of the Deen.
Okay.
The Sheikh here
encourages youngsters to memorize this poem.
If you want that which is a little
bit more deeper than that, then maybe memorize
the 50 line poetry that I went through
on the weekend.
Masid Al Imam An Nawi Rahmatullahalaihi.
It's a 50 9 poetry.
It also covers topics such as Ghusul,
right, buying and selling,
Zakat,
little bit of Nikah,
Hajj,
another messiah as well. So it's more what?
It's more deeper than that which we are
studying now.
As for this one, it's 32 lines. So
everything that we're going to be covering here
is also covered there, But the Sheikh adds
onto it.
So he says
He says memorize this my son and my
daughter.
And try to understand
that which,
is found in his poem.
Put your hand up my beloved brothers and
sisters if you want to become a serious
student of knowledge.
You may be just here to,
take the basics and then you'll start,
or should I say you just, you know,
get on with your life, which, you know,
that's no problem.
But put your hand up, you're becoming you're
trying to become a serious student of knowledge,
which is most of you.
See, Mohammed is shaking his hand because he's
becoming a pharmacist, mashaAllah, or a doctor.
He's both, inshallah, will try to become a
doctor and also,
a serious student of knowledge.
And I suggest that everybody writes this down.
Our Sheikh Salaam Namdazeer Cindy,
who I believe came here to the college
as well. Right?
It says, if you want to become a
serious student of knowledge,
you must combine between 3 things.
Number
1, has to be a fair share of
knowledge that you memorize.
Number 2, you have to do a fair
share of reading.
And number 3,
and by the way, this is not in
any
particular order, right?
There has to be a fair share of
classes that you attend,
knowledge that you take directly from the scholars.
So the gatherings of the scholars. If you
can't get directly to our scholar, then you
take knowledge from those who took from the
scholars and so on and so forth.
Our Sheikh Salim Abdullah
said,
put them in heaven. It is a must
that you memorize.
Whoever thinks that he's going to acquire knowledge
without memorizing this person is chasing the impossible.
So there has to be a fair share
of memorization
and it makes life so much more easier
as well. If you just think about it
from a logical perspective. Right?
Does anyone here have photographic memory?
Now as soon as you look at something,
you memorize it. A little bit like Al
Imam Shafi'i
If he had a book, he would need
to cover one side just so the other
side doesn't interfere with
the first.
That's how sharp
his memorization was.
Hi, my beloved brothers and sisters. What do
you guys think?
Does anyone here have photographic memory?
Babe, what happens when you read something?
Most people are they able to remember that?
You just read it once,
Can you fully remember everything on there?
You might remember snippets here and there but
then you'll end up forgetting everything, right, if
you don't revise it.
Now the person who keeps on repeating and
repeating and repeating.
Right?
That's more likely to stick than one just
reading something the first time or the second
time. Right?
So if you want the information to stick,
it only makes sense that you repeat this
so many times. That's exactly what memorization is.
Repetition
which then sticks
and it takes longer to forget.
Takes longer to forget.
And that which is also extremely important is
comprehension.
We don't just memorize, memorize, memorize
and become like parrots.
Right?
And sometimes just memorizing without understanding
may lead you what? To destruction.
Like what happened to many of those who
are extremely passionate
about Al Jihad and so on and so
forth.
They memorize certain hadith
and they memorize Nuwaqdul Islam.
I'm sure you guys are familiar with Nuwaqul
Islam, right? The 10 acts that nullifies your
Islam.
Without understanding,
right, they started declaring so many to be
so many to be what kuffar?
Throwing around takfir like you're giving out sweets.
And that is because he hasn't understood
the messaiil, the ins and the outs of
these 10 nullifiers,
which requires an extensive explanation.
I remember when our teacher, Sheikh Abdulhamid al
Zakir in the merge in a Yemen taught
us Nawakkul alaihis salam and Sheikh Sayyaima Rahili
on the exact same thing as well in
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's masjid,
right?
They went through
the preventatives of takfir and the conditions of
takfir
which lasted maybe
more than an hour and a half,
maybe a whole lesson or 2.
Just so this young passionate
student of knowledge doesn't run with these
Nawakid
and then starts making takfir of the people
unjustly,
which is the beginning of him now joining
some of these extreme groups
abroad.
He promises this with me.
So comprehension is very, very important.
The poet he says
If you're not someone with heft and comprehension,
you just gathering books,
right? Will not be a benefit for you.
And then he says,
You're going to come to a setting with
ignorance,
right?
While
your books are stored in the closet,
or in the warehouse.
Yeah. You come with that which you memorized,
which you acted upon, and acting upon the
knowledge call allows you now to solidify that
you that which you have memorized.
Goes on to say Babu Tahaara, the chapter
of
Tahara.
Linguistically, my beloved brothers and sisters, it means
Cleanliness
from impurities.
As for the technical meaning, and this is
what concerns us here.
Okay.
To uplift
the spiritual impurities.
To uplift the spiritual impurities.
Okay.
And to remove
any visible
physical
impurities.
Let's stand over each one, inshaAllah, for a
moment. We hear this term being thrown around
all the time. Artifa ul Hadith. What does
Arraf ul Hadith mean or what does Hadith
mean?
Here we translate it as uplifting
spiritual impurities and this is of 2 types,
minor spiritual impurity
and major spiritual impurity.
Brothers and sisters, what I really want you
guys to walk away with InshaAllah Ta'ala
is the examples that I give
and how I subdivide
some of the messiah or how I put
it into compartments.
This will really really help you when you
teach
or when you explain it, whether it is
you explaining it to yourself or explaining it
to others.
Some of you guys may have studied fiqh,
however it may not necessarily be in how
we are dividing,
okay, or maybe putting it in these
different categories,
okay.
And I'm giving you guys what the Masha'yikh
have taught us in the Haramain.
Okay.
So you have minor spiritual impurities,
major spiritual impurities.
What does hadithun Azhar mean or hadithun Akbar?
An individual now pays a visit to the
lavatory.
Everybody knows what a lavatory is. It's a
nice way of saying the toilet.
He relieves himself,
okay. After urinating
or after
excreting,
right, he washes himself, he does his tinja.
From that point all the way up until
he makes wudu,
what is the state that this individual now
is in?
Minor spiritual impurity.
Okay. Are there any visible physical impurities?
There aren't any.
It's like hey brothers and sisters, it's a
spiritual
form of impurity.
So all the way up until he makes
wudu,
we would say this individual,
okay,
has the trait
hadathunazar.
Is that clear?
Taib.
An individual now has sexual *.
He's paid a visit to the bathroom. He's
washed his private area.
Is there any visible physical impurities?
There aren't any.
From that point all the way up until
he takes a ghusl bath or a purificatory
bath,
how would we describe him?
Someone who has major spiritual impurity.
Can you can you see it visible?
No, you can't.
This is what is meant by Hadithun Akbar.
This is what is meant by Hadithun
Akbar, our Hadithun Akbar.
They even in the original thoughts, can you
see
or pass as air?
Can you see the physical impurities?
Is it visible?
No, it's not.
Right?
All the way up until he makes
You say this individual has hadithunazhar
or hadithunakmar.
Major or minor?
Minor, excellent.
And then you have the second part of
the tareef, which is what? Wasawalulkhabeth
to remove any visible
physical impurities,
to remove any
visible
physical impurities.
And that could be on your clothes. It
could be on your,
on your body,
right,
that you would need to remove
because it's what an impurity
that must be cleaned.
He then says
Fasal which is the
singular term for fusul
is a term that is used,
okay,
when subdividing
the different
chapters that fall under at Tahara for example.
So you have at Tahara which is extremely
broad, right,
and so many different topics
fall under at Tahara like wodoh,
What else?
What else?
What else?
Al Hayyad, chapter of verses.
So you'd say you would see fossil,
which is now what? A subchapter
of the more broader
chapter which is what? At Tahara.
At Tahara.
Brothers and sisters, if you don't understand or
you don't get these technicalities,
don't worry about it. It is to use
a type of water that is tahoor.
We'll go into waters inshaAllah
in a short while. It is to use
a water that is known as Art Tahoor
on 4 body parts in a specific manner
in a specific manner. The water that we
carry out that's exactly what we're referring to
here.
He says
Okay?
The Urdu has Surot, he has conditions
and it also has that which is Fard.
If you want to maybe put it as
a pillar, that's absolutely fine as well. If
you want to translate a fard as a
pillar, that's absolutely fine.
I promise you guys inshallah, this will be
the last technicality before we go into the
more practical
side of things.
Okay. Says fee is shiroot, there are conditions.
How can you tell me what condition is?
That which is needed before the act of
worship. Does anyone have the definition in Surafikh?
Of a shirt.
Hands dropped.
Okay.
Who remembers the translation?
You not coming with the condition necessitates
that you did not come with that which
you did the condition for.
I'll say that again.
You not coming
with the condition
necessitates that you also didn't come with that
which you did the condition for.
Don't worry guys, it took me a very
long time to translate.
This into English.
You do Udu
because it's a condition for what?
Salah.
What happens when you don't come with
the condition here?
Did you come with that which you did
the condition for
or what you would do the condition for?
The salah? Is your salah valid? No, it's
not.
And the fact now that you came with
this condition does that necessitate that you came
with that which you did the condition for?
Meaning
you came with wudu because you want to
pray,
okay.
Does that now necessitate or does that now
mean or does that now render your salah
to also be valid?
Meaning I'll just rephrase that, right, the fact
that you came with a condition, does that
also necessary that you came with that, which
they you'll do the condition for which is
a salah?
I might wake Uzo, but does that mean
I came with a salah?
It's more of the technical side of things.
Okay?
Ashur'od is a prerequisite that which must come
before
the act of worship.
Okay?
And you're not excused in any circumstance for
leaving off.
Whether it is left off out of ignorance
or forgetfulness, you can't just say oh I
forgot the Tahara.
Allah is rafur Rahim.
Allah is oft forgiving and merciful.
Or you use the verse
O Allah,
don't hold us account for that which we've
done out of forgetfulness
or out of mistake
and you just get on with your life
as nothing happened.
You remember that after Aslala you didn't come
with the Wazuh. La, you have to go
back and come with it.
Any of the conditions that one leaves off,
okay, whether it is accidental
okay or done out of ignorance, someone might
remind you and say oh you should have
done that, oh I didn't know you have
to go back.
Is that clear?
And then you have that which is fard.
Here he goes on to say
that
which is fard.
What's the difference between a condition and fard?
Or a pillar, a condition and pillar?
K.
It's an essential part of the act of
worship. It is inside of the act of
worship in more simple
terms. Now washing the face, which is from
the 6 pillars of wudu,
does that come before the act of worship
or
it's within the act of worship of udhu?
The act of worship here is
udhu. Is there a prerequisite that which you
have to do before starting the udhu, or
is it something that you have to do
within the udhu?
Within the udhu. That's the difference between the
2. And the common feature between
the condition and also the farth is
that you are not excused for having left
it off. You will still have to come
with it.
Now he goes on to,
the
conditions of the wadhu.
And here the Sheikh, may Allah azza wa
jal preserve him mentions 7 of them.
The first condition that he mentions is Aniya,
the intention.
Okay?
The intention my beloved brothers and sisters is
in the heart,
okay?
The passing thought through one's heart is sufficient.
We don't need to overly complicate the issue
of intentions.
Are you brothers and sisters with me? You
don't need to utter it
a number of times before you start the
act of worship that only leads to waswas.
That only leads to waswas,
The whispers of the devil.
Okay.
And this is a sickness that some
may be afflicted with
and may Allah Azza wa Jal cure the
Muslims.
1 is doubting
and hesitating.
Did I do the intention? Did I not?
He wakes up maybe half an hour before
Fajr and he doesn't leave the bathroom except
after sunrise.
When aya dubillah.
The intention is very very simple.
Right? It's a passing thought through one's heart.
Right? You don't need to utter it. Its
place is the heart.
Its place is the heart.
K.
And we know the famous hadith of prophet
is right?
Actions are judged by
intentions.
Okay.
Let me ask you guys a question.
If an individual now jumps into the swimming
pool
And then after coming out,
he says, oh, SubhanAllah, it's Zuhr time.
And yes, I watched the 4 body parts.
Right? Remember the tareef of wudhu?
Right? To use a type of water that
is known as at tahoor on full body
parts. What are full body parts?
Face, hands,
right, up to the elbows, the elbows included.
The head and also the feet up to
the ankles, the ankles included, which is pretty
obvious. Right?
Jumped out of the swimming pool. Oh, it's
duhurt time. You know what? Let me pray
because I washed
I washed all of these 4 body parts.
Is that also valid? No. But then he
washed all of the 4 body parts though.
That he didn't have the intention
and that's why the latter part of the
definition was Allah wajihin maqsoozi has to be
done in a specific way,
Right? It has to be done in a
specific way.
However, if he made the intention before jumping
into the swimming pool
that he wants to remove
his spiritual impurity.
And then he came out when no wanted
to pray. Would he be able to pray
like that?
As long as he fulfilled
other aspects which will come unto InshaAllah Ta'ala
later on.
Another example,
in Al Madina,
when it rains, it pours.
It really, really does.
And you become soaked.
Right? And you're not wearing shoes. Normally, we
don't walk around with shoes.
You're wearing sandals
and it's pouring,
right, really really hard,
That water will reach all of these 4
body parts.
It's
also valid.
He would have to make the intention first,
right? And he would have to meet,
certain other conditions as well which will come
into InshaAllah Ta'ala later on. Because it pulls
so much that it actually flows on your,
on your body.
It actually goes through your skin, goes through
your clothes. That's how wet it becomes.
So okay?
Al aqlu ma'am. Before I move on to
the second condition, my beloved brothers and sisters,
right, as I mentioned earlier, the issue of
intention is very very simple.
Right? You don't need to overly complicate it.
It's a passing thought through one's heart and.
If an individual now is suffering from,
what do we advise him with?
The scholars, they mentioned this principle which I
suggest everybody writes down.
Lahdiyaatuliluwaswis.
You know how we double check
that we've done something right. We have to
ensure that we've done something properly.
The one who's suffering from waswasa
doesn't need to double check or he doesn't
need to ensure that he's done it properly.
If it means pulling him out of the
toilet,
okay, then we should do so and this
is what we advise him with. Make the
intent and do it, Khalas. Get out.
Is that clear?
Like, what if an individual now is doubting
as to whether he done the intention or
not after having finished the wudu?
If you are doubting as you are doing
the act of worship, it may be safer
to restart again, providing that you're not someone
who's suffering from waspasa.
Is that clear?
However,
Shaytan is whispering after you finish the wudu,
did you do it? Did you not? You
most likely didn't do it. Shaykh Abdul Adhim
has a line of poetry in his manzuma,
in his poem
that covers all Suri principles,
he says,
the doubts that an individual has after doing
the act of worship
this doesn't affect it whatsoever
And likewise, if someone is suffering from a
lot of West Wasser.
Is that clear?
So in a nutshell, when you start your
order, the intention should be,
right, to remove the
spiritual impurity
or making wudu for that which is wajib
upon you to do the wudu for,
like atawaf or salat, touching the mushab and
so on and so forth.
All that which is sunnah.
Okay.
You wanna pray
This is a Sunnah act. Right?
You made wudu for this particular act of
worship. Can I now also with this wudu
pray?
My obligatory prayers? It's perfectly fine.
See the issue of niyyah is very Sahal
brothers, sisters.
It doesn't require over complication.
I remember I said this, you guys know
study I seen, right, because he's a shafi.
There's 1 madham that causes you to have
was wasa, it's a shafi madham
because of how deep they go into the
issues of intentions,
which is not needed,
right. The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam didn't
utter it,
the companions didn't utter it,
The Taibiyain didn't utter it. It wasn't known
that,
uttering the intention was attributed to them. Even
the 4 great imams of fiqh, even Imam
Shaba' himself didn't utter it.
And this is what Al Bayhagir Rahmatullahi alayhi
mentioned about
all of his scholars. Who is a Shafi'a
himself?
So namatir sahal brothers,
sisters,
5 more minutes then we'll stop inshallah. Okay?
Number 2,
sanity.
Okay.
Sanity
is a condition in order for the wudu
to be valid.
The messenger
said the pen has been raised from 3
types of fever. One of them is
The Majoon, the one who's lost his sanity
until he gains his,
his sanity.
Number 3, Ma'al Islami, a Muslim.
If someone who doesn't have an Islam makes
all those valid,
no.
Right? All of their good deeds will be
what? Void.
When they come on Yomul Qiyam, as Allah
says,
it will be like scattered particles.
It will not be accepted from them.
As Allah says, whoever desires other than Islam,
it will
be rejected from him.
Taib. When Allah azza wajal, he commands
in the Quran that one carries out the
wudu or the ablution.
Are the kuffar being addressed here as well?
This is an issue that is discussed in
Usul al Fiqh.
When Allah
gives out instructions,
are the kuffar being addressed as well?
They are being addressed, which is the more
favorable, stronger view.
However, if they did come with it, it
won't be accepted from them.
And on Yomul Qiyamah,
on Yomul Qiyamah,
they will be punished for every salah that
they missed,
and every time that they needed to make
wazhu that they didn't,
and every time they met the conditions of
zakat which they didn't pay, they will be
punished for everything that they left off,
right, on top of or in addition to
them being punished for their kufr, their disbelief.
And that just shows Shiddah to Adabi
and Kufar,
a severity in,
how they will be tormented.
Yeah.
The 4th condition,
4th condition is that the water needs to
be a tahor.
The water needs to be tahoor.
The water my beloved brothers and sisters is
categorized into 3.
It is categorized into 3.
The first type is a type of water
that is Tuhoor. You may want to write
this down.
Which Allah Azza wa Jal sent down which
remained in its original form.
The water that comes down that drops on
to the earth, is that my hold brothers
and sisters? Is it something that I can
use? Of course it is.
It is pure in within itself and it's
also a purifier.
It's pure in within itself, this is the
attribute of this type of water. It is
pure in within itself and it's also purifier.
And this is the only type of water
that you could use
to remove the spiritual impurities
and also the physical impurities before you can
be in a state that you could start
your Odo.
Is that clear?
You may ask yourself the question, how is
this really relevant to us? We are living
in the 21st
century.
We have water
flowing through
the pipes.
Are they psychedelic?
How do you think they're making oil in
Ukraine at the moment?
With all these bombs that are flying around
that are hitting the
central water system.
Do you think water's coming through the pipes
now?
It may well be that they have to
find water which they store in barrels,
and we may well find ourselves in that
kind of situation. Is it Farfetch brothers and
sisters if it's happening around the corner? For
us to be in that kind of situation,
we may well have to go back to
the Ihkam related to water
that we might not necessarily see in today's
day and age because of
the luxuries that we have.
If you are now storing
water in barrels,
okay,
this water now has remained in its original
form which is what ahur,
pure in within itself and also a purifier.
Because of it now coming in contact with
a particular substance,
it may well be that you can't make
wudu with that particular water.
So this is why brothers and sisters, don't
take these messiah that we're studying lightly,
right?
This is how we made wudu in places
like Yemen.
Your brother, Awutemia,
for full 4 years,
he would take water out of a bucket,
and take a shower from a bucket
because we did not have running water
on a permanent basis. The water would run
through the pipes
once every 2 days and sometimes once every
3 days.
Would be storing it and sometimes the water
wouldn't come for weeks. So we have to
go to the Masjid,
pick it up in
tanks
Taib.
So this is the only type of water
that you could use to remove the spiritual
impurities
and the visible physical impurities
in order for you to be able to
start your wudu.
The second category of water is that which
is referred to as Tahir.
How does it
move from being tahur to tahir?
Okay. But what causes the change?
Something else is a very, very vague term.
Okay. What other substance? I'm looking for more
detail.
Go on.
Babe, you gave me an example now.
I need
Jameel. That's the term that I was looking
for. The poet says
If this water now comes in contact with
a pure substance,
pure substance that's the keyword,
which causes 1 of 3 things to change.
What are the 3 things?
Smell, taste, and color.
The way I remember is
okay, by using the abbreviations
of an Internet company in Saudi Arabia.
You know you have EE here in Vodafone.
There's a very well known Internet company there
called
STC,
smell, taste, and color.
That's how I remember.
And it may well be that the waters
that we're going to be storing in buckets
a couple of years down the line, maybe
and may Allah protect us from that. The
Messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam told us that,
don't wish to meet the enemy.
However, we have to be real, right?
With Putin,
threatening the west now, especially the UK Boris
Johnson, with nuclear weapons,
Allahu'ala will happen in due course. Layskalalik.
Isn't that so?
If these waters that you're storing in buckets
now comes in contact with a pure substance,
which causes 1 of 3 things to change.
Can I use that?
I'll give you guys an example. Right? You
happen to be in the toilet,
and you have a Lucas Aids drink
in a bottle.
You know what? It's a bit long
stretching. Let me just use the Lucazade bottle
now for to clean myself.
Marai kum,
or Pepsi,
or Doctor Pepper,
Coca Cola.
You're using it to clean yourself,
can you?
But you're going to be physically removing any
visible
physical impurities, right?
After doing so, can I then stand up
to the sink and start making wodl? Even
though there's no visible
physical impurities.
You may have removed,
right, the visible physical impurities. However, you are
still not in the state now where which
you can now do the wudu.
You would have to use a water that
is what?
Uhur, that which is pure in within itself
and a purifier,
that which has remained in its original form.
Likewise tea. Get a tea bag,
and you mix it now with
water. Is it teabag is it is it
is it is it is it pure? I'm
gonna ask this question to the brothers and
mizimam, no way, everyone looked at me confused.
When was the teabag ever nijis? When was
it ever impure?
It's a pure substance,
right?
Or you take now,
you know, the, the fruit powder,
squash.
Powder. Right?
And then you mix it now with water.
Is that powder pure?
It's pure. Right? It came now in contact
with
a water that is ahor
and it caused 1 of 3 things to
change. And it doesn't have to be all
3 of them, by the way. One is
enough. This water is now rendered
Bahir.
Can I use it to remove any spiritual
or physical impurities? No. Can I use it
for anything else? Yes, I can.
Yes. You
can.
What about the, the water on the beach?
That has now become mixed with
soil and sand and
Is it pure? Can I use it?
No, but it might be very
like sandy water.
If you take a little bit out and
you start making water from it. Sandy.
Jameel. Excellent.
And also because the sand is one of
the 2 purifiers. Isn't it so?
So this has been exempt.
This has been exempt.
And there are other scenarios that might be
exempt which we're not going to find time
for. You will take it inshaAllah when you
go deeper in fiqh. The third category is
a type of water that is Lejis,
impure
and this is split into 2.
It can be divided into 2.
That which is more than Qulatayn and that
which is less than Qulatayn.
If you translate
now into English, it means 2 barrels.
However, you were to now estimate
it into numbers, how many liters would that
be?
2050.
There's a lot of Kalam amongst scholars with
regards to what this estimation actually is. We
will go with what Sheikh Aymer Bajid, the
author of this kid I mentioned in some
lines of poetry when he said,
190 liters.
Depending on what view that you go with,
okay, doesn't necessarily matter, I want you guys
to understand.
1st category is that which is less than
a 190 liters.
The second category is that which is more
than 190 liters,
and we are speaking about that which has
now become impure, a type of water that
you are not allowed to use, It's haram
for you to use.
You would have to pour it on the
drain.
So that which is less than a 190
liters, if it comes in contact with an
impurity,
just Mujarrad Mullaqat, a mere contact with it,
it would be considered
impure.
You can't use it. Even if it's one
drop
of urine, one drop of urine comes in
contact now with that water
that is less than a 190 liters, this
would now be rendered
impure.
If it's now more than a 190 liters,
this water would be rendered.
We would have to check
if one of the three things has changed,
the smell, taste, and color.
As if it's more than a 190
liters did everybody get that?
Like the swimming pool,
you'll always find
that guy who starts urinating in the corner
of the pool
or he starts defecating in the corner of
the pool.
Right?
Is the swimming pool more than a 190
liters?
Most likely it is. Right?
And that wouldn't actually affect
the purity of this water because it's more
than a 190 liters
only if the smell or the taste and
the color changes. Is that clear?
Then moving on swiftly InshaAllah Ta'ala, the 4th
condition was Ma'un Tahuran, the water has to
be what?
Tahor
and it purr in within itself and also
a purifier.
Min Si wal Harami, the 5th condition is
that it can't be haram
for you to use this
water. In other terms, they mentioned in their
books, it has to be permissible for you
to use,
It has to be permissible for you to
use.
Okay.
So what we're referring to here is,
that water
that you're using cannot be stolen,
or the money
that you use to buy this water can't
be stolen.
Is that clear brothers and sisters?
Or in more
general terms, it has to be permissible for
you to use. For example,
when you go to Saudi Arabia, right,
on some of these,
water taps you find lishur bi faqat. It
is only for
drinking.
Would this go against the condition that we've
just mentioned?
If they say that this is only for
drinking water, now you're using it for someone
for something else, Can you use that kind
of water to
do although?
You're misusing it. You're using it for
other than that which it is meant for.
Right?
The examples that are normally termed to bring
as well is
imagine you have an auntie.
Masha'Allah, practicing lady, she goes to the masjid
and everything.
However,
she frauds the government.
She claims
that she has
or should I say she's single?
She claims to be single
just so she can,
have a higher income from the government.
And she uses this haram money
to pay her water bill.
What do you guys think?
Sorry?
No. For auntie. There's auntie now,
right,
who
defrauds the government.
And her money is now haram. Right?
She claims that she's single. In reality the
guy comes through the
the window every night,
right? She's married.
That based on that which we are studying,
would her wudhu be valid?
She's using this haram money now for the
to to pay the water bill. And if
she doesn't pay, they're gonna cut the water
off.
Are you scared?
Would her water be valid?
According to this, it wouldn't.
Well, if I go to a house
like somebody else's yesterday,
I think it requires, Yani,
deeper look into this. Right? Because,
I remember one time researching a point where
one says
my dad's money is haram and he pays
for all the food and everything and he
pays for the rent.
Am I held responsible for that? Am I
sinful not to remain in his house? I
came across some fatawah saying that you're not
sinful for it.
However, if you're able to leave this house
and kind of like start your own life
that
is blessed inshallah wata'ala with the wealth they
yearn,
then do so. But until then this is
not something that you are
held responsible for.
Right? So based on this view here, it's
one of the views that are out there.
Okay,
it's not the view of every
Fiqh scholar,
right, but it's a view out there and
they have their reasonings for it like my
buneyaalal batil for batil, that which
is built on falsehood it also becomes what
false. Yani invalid.
Your promises is with me.
And there's miss Allah.
We won't go into any technicalities,
but this is a view that is out
there and they have a point.
Okay. A similar
point,
that stems off from this principle is
praying in a house that is stolen
or that has been bought with haram money.
It's an issue that is discussed which we'll
leave insha Allahu Ta'ala for another time.
So the 5th condition as the Hanambilla mentioned
that this water has to be lawful for
you to use, it can't be haram, whether
it is you using the money to buy
this water, or whether it
has been stolen,
okay.
Or being used for other than
what
it is there for.
Type number 6 is Alatulmani
Amin Wasoolihi
wahakadal Kharijumin Sabileihi.
Number 6 is,
you have to make sure that you remove
anything that prevents the water
from reaching
that which needs to be washed.
Okay.
And the labit, the general principle that I
will give
in this situation is that which
puts a layer on top of that which
needs to be washed.
Knowing this principle will allow you to determine
what needs to be removed and what doesn't.
A commonly asked question just the other day
when I was in Mazarqauba at last time,
a brother asked me,
I have paint, I'm a painter.
And when the time of salah kicks in,
it takes a very long time to remove
the paint, sah.
Is anyone here a painter?
Has done some painting in the in the
past?
How long does it normally take okay the
adhan has gone off and you're in the
toilet trying to remove it.
Takes a very long time.
Is there a way around this?
There's no way around
it? We say to you wear gloves.
Are you guys with me? You wear gloves.
It's as simple as that.
Is the gloves now or are the gloves
going to hinder your
your progress in painting or whatever you're trying
to execute?
It really doesn't. Wear the gloves. Okay. As
this will save you from a lot of
headache.
However, if this is now a layer on
top of the skin, you would have to
make sure that it's removed completely.
What about makeup?
We've seen sisters in the past and may
Allah reward them for their good intentions and
their hirs,
their eagerness to pray even when at work,
and that's something that is that should be
commended.
However,
she's wearing
a full mask.
Right? And when she does Urdur, she does
this.
Right. This isn't this isn't gassal, this is
not washing. InshaAllah ta'ala, later on we'll speak
about
the difference
between washing and also wiping.
You would have to make sure that you
remove, and this is remember a condition, a
prerequisite for the wudu. You will have to
remove it before you
start the wudu.
I'm gonna come on to that. Don't worry.
Yeah? So we mentioned
the way to determine is
that it puts a layer on top of
the skin.
And does the makeup do that?
Does the lipstick do that?
And by the way, wearing makeup
around women and around your husband is not
something that's haram. She can beautify herself as
much as she wants.
However, wearing it in front of non miharim
is where the problem lies.
Okay.
Especially if the time of salah kicks in,
you would have to ensure that you remove
the layer on top of that which needs
to be washed.
Likewise, when it comes to these eyelashes.
Okay.
And also what? Nail varnish.
It has to be removed.
Yesterday, I was discussing it in the class,
or was it a day before,
we made mention of these waterproof
nail varnish,
and I heard it was tested
by some of the brothers and they demonstrated
it on YouTube,
and in essence it isn't naturally waterproof,
and the only reason why they say water
is because they want to pull the Muslims
in.
Alakulihaal is something that needs to be experimented.
Point is, if it puts a layer on
top of the skin, it would need to
be removed.
Tayib.
Another example that I normally tend to mention
is that which relates to hina
or henna.
What do you guys think?
There are 2 stages to henna or the
henna that a woman puts on.
The stage when
the mom's walking around like this, Muhammad get
me this, Muhammad get me that.
Waiting for the henna now to dry up.
And then after, it's now become dry.
So all the way up until it becomes
dry,
right, is
this a layer on top of the skin
or not? It's a layer on top of
the skin
after it becomes dry.
Is it okay now for her to make
wudu?
Because it has now sunk into the skin.
You guys with me? What about Vaseline and
cream?
Nivea
or dove.
It sinks into the skin. Right? Except in
one scenario. Right? Right? If one slaps the
cream on top of his skin.
Or the Vaseline should I say.
It actually ends up putting a layer on
top of the skin.
Right. In that case, you would have to
ensure that it's removed. Sometimes you get burnt
and you put
large amount
of Vaseline on top of the scab.
Right? You can see it's a large amount.
It's very thick
as opposed to the one that you
how do you say this in English again?
That you rub into the skin, which then
sinks in.
Are you guys with me? Did everybody note
down the examples?
These examples make the lesson interesting.
Aliskidalik,
as opposed to me just saying,
removing any layer on top of the skin,
moving on to the next one.
With the examples, it makes it clear that
which is being said, makes it more easily
understood.
Likewise, when you're explaining to somebody,
right, comes in extremely extremely handy.
And likewise face pain.
That one may ask now, is a woman
excused when she goes on a wedding?
She arrives at the wedding maybe at Asar
time.
What time does she normally finish?
After midnight. Harish Kedalik is in Esau.
And she's wearing makeup. She's maybe spent over
£50,
maybe even more than that, on her makeup.
She came to dress to impress.
Is she excused in this kind of scenario?
The one marrying
and the one attending the marriage or the
wedding, they're both not excuse
at all.
I remember subhanAllah my mom told me this
story, I mentioned this the other day as
well, of a sister who was being pressurized.
The sister was getting married, right? She was
being pressurized to remove her makeup that she
spent
100 of pounds on.
Time of salah kicked in, and every salah
has its time. Right?
Can I decide to pray Asr at Isha
or after midnight?
They pressurize her, they pressurize her, and she
refused.
I think also,
her mother threatened to walk out, something along
the lines of that.
When she took all her makeup off,
she wants to pray. She's a righteous woman.
She has an obligation.
She ended up passing away in her sujood.
Imagine if she delayed it.
Right?
We beg Allah
for a righteous spouse.
I was on a dua, by the way,
bro.
May Allah
grant you all righteous spouses here.
Right?
You beg Allah
day and night, you Allah grant me a
righteous spouse.
Right?
They unite you beg Allah
grant me
excellent results.
There's a verse in the Quran where Allah
says,
You disobeyed Allah after he showed you that
which you really wanted.
This verse came down
when
the participants of Uhud, those who the messenger
salallahu alayhi wa sallam placed on top of
that mountain, Nur Jabal Rumad the 50,
And he told them don't come off the
mountain.
No matter what happens, even if you see
the wall boots you don't come off. No
matter what's happening don't come off this mountain.
As soon as they saw the war booty,
they started to say, Alghaneemah Alghaneema.
Khalas, the battle is finished. They were instructed,
don't come off. Allah said,
You
disobeyed Allah after he showed you what he
really wanted.
So you've been asking Allah for so long,
you Allah grant me a righteous spouse, and
then on the day that you are granted
that, you disobey Allah.
You miss the salawat,
you free mix, you blast music.
How ungrateful is that brothers and sisters?
How ungrateful is that?
For years you're asking, you Allah allow me
to come out with a first at university.
The day you pass or the day you
get your degree, you throw a bash,
a party where you invite everybody over and
you're disobeying Allah Azza wa Jal. How ungrateful
is that? Look at what Allah Azza wa
Jal granted you, but then just threw it
back in at him.
Number 7 is
putting an end to the najasa or removing
the najasa
before
you start the wudu.
Can you be urinating and making wudu at
the same time because you're in a rush?
You woke up 15 minutes before your work.
The sink is right next to the toilet
seat.
You are urinating
or doing whatever you need to do and
you're doing all the same time because you're
trying to save time.
What do you guys think? Your juice?
This is exactly what this point is speaking
about. You can't be
urinating.
All the najasa, the impurities,
can't be continuously coming out of your body
while at the same time you're making wudu.
Okay?
So you have to firstly make sure that
you do istinja
after having urinated or defecated
or whatever else you
relieved yourself of in the toilet,
because they're not just 1 or number 1
or number 2, there's many types,
you have to make sure you clean yourself,
you have to do is Dinja.
Which means to wash yourself,
or use stones to clean yourself.
You can either do sunja or stijmaa,
and you can combine between them. And if
one just used
stones to clean himself, and in today's day
and age they use mindil,
tissue instead of stones, would that be sufficient?
By Ijma'a,
by unanimous agreement, even if you didn't use
water. I know this is
a shandap one, right?
No.
Point of the matter is you have to
make sure that you wash yourself before you
make udoh.
Or the other scenario is you have to
make sure that
the najah asad, the impurities aren't coming out
while you're doing the wudu.
Right?
After.
It's a clear brothers and sisters.
Islam
is a hygienic
religion. Do you guys agree with that?
Well, I mean, just think about how disgusting
the lifestyle of some of the non Muslim
is.
Right? And how Allah blessed us with cleaning
ourselves.
The guy walks in into one of these
British toilets.
He urinates standing up,
goes home, doesn't wash himself. Right?
I don't even know who actually thought of
that.
That you don't wash yourself, you don't clean
yourself,
and this individual remains like that maybe throughout
his whole day and then goes to his
family
and he does whatever he needs to do
with his family.
How disgusting is that?
Alhamdulillah for Islam.
Sheikh then goes on to say,
mentions the 6 pillars. The first pillar is
Rasool Wajee washing the face. Where is your
face?
Vertically
is
where your hairline starts all the up into
your chin.
Horizontally
is from here to the other side. Pay
attention brothers, it's a common mistake.
Leaving off this part of the face,
the overwhelming majority of scholars,
they take the view that this part needs
to be washed.
Is that clear? The area between your sideburns
and also your earlobe.
That must be washed.
Taib, what is the definition of Al Ghassal?
By knowing the definition, and everyone should write
this down,
it will allow you to determine
whether your wudu is valid or not,
and as to whether you are in essence
wiping or washing.
It
is to make sure that the water
flows on that part of the body that
needs to be washed. Flows.
Is that clear?
And mess is
It is the past wet hands on that
part that needs to be wiped.
Is that clear, brothers and sisters?
So now you need to ensure that the
wall that the face is washed, that water
is flowing on that part of the body.
Okay? Why if you have a beard?
Unless you're Samani.
I'm just joking.
A
lot of Samanis do have beads,
but a lot of them don't.
What if you have a beard?
Everyone write down this principle. Right? Or the
lah bit here is,
if it's a thick beard,
you have to ensure that you wash the
outside.
If it's a thin bed, you have to
wash the outside and also the inside.
Dev, how do you determine as to whether
it's a thick or a thin bead?
And all you sisters who may think that
this is not relevant to you, make sure
you're writing this down as well. I'm sure
you're planning to marry, or you have a
husband, or you have a
brother or a father,
that may need insights, sahuralla.
And I normally say this also to brothers
who think that they don't need to learn
about
akhamul hayd,
rulings pertaining to menses.
Would you rather you teach your wife or
she has to go ask a question to
a sheikh? Yeah, sheikh.
There's nothing wrong with this by the way,
right? But it gets a little bit awkward.
I'm having this particular discharge. Can you explain?
And then he asks another question. Is it
like this though or is it like that?
You'd rather learn it and then teach, Sahulullah.
That's more preferable I believe.
Like going back to the point I was
making, how do you determine as to whether
it's a thick or a thin beard?
My beard is a perfect example of that.
If you can see the skin behind the
bed, then this is a thing thin bed.
Now look at my bed.
Is there a part of it that you
can see the skin?
Is this part right? I have to make
sure that I watch the inside and also
the
outside. If it's a thick bit, this part
of my bed, can you see the inside?
Just checking as well.
Can you see?
You can't. So you'll have to wash the
outside if it's a thick bed. And if
it's a thin bed, you wash the outside
and also the inside. We mentioned that the
face is from where the hairline starts all
the way up into the chin.
What if you have hair that comes down
from the chin?
You have to make sure that you wash
the outside.
That's what they call it.
Yeah.
So any hairs that appear on your face,
which you can see the skin behind it,
you have to make sure that you wash
the outside and also the inside.
Number 2, Wadi Adeyi.
You have to make sure that you wash
your hands all the way up until your
elbows, your elbows included.
Let me ask you a question. What's the
first thing that you wash when you start
your order?
What's the first thing that you start with?
Hands. Is there a sunnah?
Is it is it recommended or is it
obligatory?
Sunnah. Excellent. What is it that you do
after that?
Mouth and the nose. And then the
face. And then what happens after that?
Arms. Hey, where do you start?
A common
mistake, my beloved brothers and sisters,
is that one starts from here
because he tells himself I covered at the
beginning. That which you covered at the beginning
is independent from that which you are doing
now. That one is sunnah, this one is
far, it's a pillar.
You have to make sure that you start
from
the fingertip all the way up until the
elbow the elbows
included.
It's a very very common mistake. I remember
many years ago, we demonstrated this in a
small clip and the video is going viral.
People are commenting saying, subhanAllah, I've been doing
my wudu wrong for the last 20 years,
for the last 30 years.
Right?
It's a very common mistake.
May Allah forgive him. But from now on,
insha Allahu Ta'ala, do your order properly.
Okay.
Please brothers, the questions are end. I'm running
out
of
time. Yeah.
Foli Adaini, number 3, Mashun Nirasin Ghasukar Jjaini,
number 3 is to wipe the head.
Remember we mentioned wiping the head here.
It's connected to the head.
Okay. So if you have hair or not,
it doesn't matter.
One may be bald.
Right? Does he still have to wipe? Yes.
Because we're speaking about wiping the head
and not the hair.
So you wipe your head all the way
up until
your neck.
This is the narration of Abdul Abinu Zayd
Badha Abu Muqaddam Miraseh.
He started from the front of his head,
hada daha babihima ilaqatha,
and he went all the way down to
his neck.
Hadith is authentic, sunna b dawd.
All the way down to the neck,
and then he came back up again.
The bare minimum my brother, brothers and sisters
is
and by the way you may want to
split your page into 2, that which is
the bare minimum and that which is more
than the bare minimum. Because the bare minimum
will enable you
to understand when
your order is valid or not,
and it coming with the bare minimum to
see as to whether it's valid or not.
And it may well be that you have
to suffice yourself with the bare minimum because
you're in a rush,
or you find yourself in al Haram al
Makki
as we have found ourselves many times. Your
udul breaks and if you leave the Haram,
you may not be able to come back
in, you're gonna miss the Salah in front
of the Kaaba, so you have a little
bit of water that you could use.
Get with me?
So you will only cover the bare minimum.
That's when your fiqh kicks in.
What was the point I was making?
When it comes to wiping the head, the
bare minimum is to go down like that.
To go down to your neck.
To come back up is a recommended Sunnah.
Here the narration states the neck.
Is it bida'na to wipe your neck?
Sometimes brothers say
they they do bida.
They wipe their necks.
What I want you guys to really appreciate
is
the scholars ichdihad on this point.
Did this now come out of nowhere?
The other scholars they say that the neck
is of 2 types. Do you guys agree
with that?
A part of the neck that is connected
to your head and a part that isn't.
However,
them stating
they should wipe the neck, did that just
come out of nowhere?
Did they just bring it out of their
own back pockets?
No. You can see that
the understanding here revolves around a statement of
the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam.
The more you study Azib Nur Taym Rahmatullahi
Alaihi mentions,
The more one increases in knowledge, the more
he increases in mercy. It makes you more
open minded and understanding.
And this is why I really, really appreciated
the kitab called Bidayat al Mushtahed by Ibn
Rushd.
Okay. It teaches you comparative fiqh.
The reasons as to why the scholars differed,
it gives you the reasonings and that's what
makes that,
Kitab, that book very distinct.
Makes you very open minded. At least you
understand. Even if you don't agree with it,
it makes you understand. And it prevents
you from taking swipes.
Hey, brothers and sisters with me.
They what if you miss a couple of
hairs? You have to try and cover your
whole head.
If you end up missing a couple of
hairs, even though you try to, then there's
no problem with that InshaAllah.
Or if you have long hair, whether it's
a girl or a brother, brother may have
long hair.
Right?
You wipe all the way up until here.
You wipe all the way up until here.
Even if you have cameros,
just wipe all the way up until here.
You need you don't need to untie it.
Is that clear?
Anything more than that is not required.
The 4th pillar is gaslukar rijayni,
right, to wash your feet. To wash your
feet all the way up until your ankles,
your ankles included.
Right. A common mistake is
wobbling your foot under the tap.
Wobbling your foot under the tap.
By the way, we're not wobblers.
Wobbling your foot under the
tap.
And he might not necessarily
cover the whole foot.
And mainly you see that he ends up
missing out on
the ankles,
Woe to the ankles of the hellfire, woe
to the ankles of the hellfire,
because he doesn't wash his ankles properly.
Right? It's not a light matter.
You have to make sure that
the foot is properly washed.
Okay.
What if you have chubby toes
and the water doesn't actually reach
the inside
of your toes when
wobbling it under the tap,
or when placing it under the tap. Because
sometimes you just do this right, you just
move your foot under there. There's no problem
with that as long as you cover the
whole foot, the water flows on the whole
foot. There's no problem.
What if you have now chubby toes?
And the only way that
the water reaches there is by using your
fingers.
There's a principle in Surafikh, malayatimulwajib
illa be for wajib. If you can't fulfill
a particular wajib except by something, that something
becomes wajib as well.
Right?
Doing this with your toes
is not something that is mandatory.
However, if that's the only way that you're
going to,
get the water to flow in between your
toes, then that becomes a must as well.
Is that clear?
And everything that we mentioned now, we spoke
about washing the face, the hands up to
the elbows, elbows included, wiping the head, and
washing the feet up to the ankles, the
ankles included.
The bare minimum is how many times?
Once.
Anything more than that in Sunnah, And just
because it is sunnah, brothers and sisters, that
doesn't mean we should just take it lightly.
Okay?
The companions, they would do it because it
was a sunnah. Today we leave it off
because it's a sunnah.
Isn't it so?
Right.
And what is important that we mention is
brothers and sisters,
if you leave off a small amount, a
tiny part of that which needs to be
washed,
Are you pardoned for it?
Is the Urdu valid? If it's just a
tiny part,
the size of a nail, what do you
guys think?
Babes,
please questions will end. Let me at least
finish quite a bit before Maghrib,
and it looks like we're gonna have to
go on after Maghrib as well
And then at least finish,
the wudhu part and then go into the
salat, and then we'll only need half an
hour after Maghrib, inshaAllah.
And then he goes on to say,
So now how many pillars are we taking?
4.
He says the nose and also the mouth
make it part of the face.
Right?
So part of the face is
rinsing your mouth and also
sniffing water up your nose, which is known
as Al Isin Shaq.
And rinsing the mouth is known as what?
Al Mad Madah.
Right?
The Hanabi'lah,
they take the view that it is a
must.
It is part of the face, and they
have
the evidences for it. Are you guys with
me? They have the evidences for it. I
would really love to go through them. However,
I'm just not going to get a chance.
Maybe inshallah ta'ala the other videos are released.
You can maybe watch the maybe we'll just
do it here inshallah ta'ala next time around.
Okay.
The more,
detailed poetry, which is 50 lines, and we'll
cover that in more detail insha'Allah ta'ala.
And now what we want to accomplish insha
Allahu Ta'ala is conceptualizing
these messaal. At least you know how to
worship Allah accordingly.
Make sure that you also rinse your mouth
and you save water up your nose.
Right? If you look at the a hadith
that describe the word of the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam,
just about all of them you find that
he done the Madhu Madhu and Nisinshaq. So
he never used to leave it off.
Okay? Also, Nur Mas'aazam commanded
When you do Udo, then make sure you
also
do the madam madam, and he was commanded.
And the default ruling of a commandment is
that it is
Wajib is mandatory.
Also the prophet
said,
Whoever makes wudu, he needs to make sure
that he places the water in his nose.
Again, this is a commandment.
So these are all part of the first
pillar which is washing the face.
Then he goes on to say,
the ears are part of the head.
If the head is a pillar, and then
we are being told that the
the ears
are a part of the head, it would
take the same hukm. It would take the
same ruling. Is that clear, brothers and sisters?
It's because of a narration,
in the Muslim Imam Ahmed, but they differed
as to whether this was a statement of
the prophet
or the statement of Abi Umama.
The hadith states that the udunain
is part of the head.
And because of that, they said it is
a must. You must make sure that you
place your fingers
inside of your ear in.
Number 5, tarteebi has to be in order.
You can't decide to start
with the feet and then you go back
up.
They've according to what that which we are
studying. What if an individual jumps into rapport,
swims,
and has made the intention as well,
The water goes through his nose,
and he goes into his mouth. He opens
his mouth and then he closes again.
Then what about the order?
How does he come out of the water?
Head first. Hey, Anand.
And then his hands come out.
And then what about the wiping of the
head?
Something done in order. Right?
According to the view of what we're studying,
you would have to at least what? Take
do that.
You guys with me?
After like
coming out of the pool,
okay, he comes out with his head first,
which is the face and then his hands
come out, takes water, does this and his
feet come out.
Is that clear?
Wila. The last one is Al Mu'ala at
number 6. It has to be done in
quick succession.
What happens especially in today's day and age,
right, one's making wudu, he receives a phone
call.
As he's washing his face,
he goes off on a 15 minute tangent
and then comes back and just continues with
his wudu.
You have to make sure
that it is done in quick succession.
What determines as to whether the wudu has
now become invalid or not
if the stage before that has become dry?
On a normal room temperature,
is that how they say it? Right?
On a normal
room or temperatured room.
You can put it into good English for
me like on a normal.
Normal room temperature.
However, if it's very very hot, by the
time even if you are doing everything quick
succession, by the end of the world though,
everything has already become dry because of how
hot he is, or it could be so
cold.
Like the winter's here.
Right?
Even after half an hour it's still wet,
so it has to be wet in normal,
room temperature.
Now he goes on to the wajibat,
that which is mandatory.
Okay. And he mentions 2 things here.
The difference between that which we
just studied, the 6 pillars,
okay,
and this wajib
that we're about to take, even though if
you translate both of them literally,
it means that which is mandatory. However, the
Hanabi'ah,
they distinguish between them,
Okay?
They distinguish between them. Even though the majority
of the scholars, they don't distinguish between these
two terms.
So I have Hud al Hakami, he says,
well, Fardu Ta'arif and Radi fu myajib,
Kasun Netita Tawe Ernad Bustaib.
Fard and wajib are like synonyms, however here
he distinguishes between them.
Wajib
is also an obligation, however,
you are excused if you forget.
And then he gives an example saying Bismillah
in the beginning, it is wajib according to
rhanabila
and they have their reasoning and their arguments,
3 hadith. One of them is when the
messul Allah is and said
there's no for the one who
doesn't mention the name of Allah as I
was trying to make
it. Right?
And again, Imam Ahmed is by himself on
this and contrary to the majority of the
scholars.
The rest they say is sunnah.
He says it is mandatory,
And I suggest every single individual
says Bismillah today when?
Doing his wudu, just so it sticks
and you're taking a safer option as well.
Right?
If now
the validity of your wudu is on the
line, are you gonna take that lightly? There's
a possibility because of these narrations.
Right? They have been authenticated by mountains of
knowledge
like Ibn Kathir,
Hafid al Iraqi, Ibn Salah,
Ibnutemia,
and otherinim.
So you say Bismillah at the beginning. The
second Wajib that he mentions here is
before I go into the second Wajib, so
you say Bismillah at the beginning, right? And
then you start your wudu. What if you
now forget and you remember after wudu?
Do you need to go back?
Like when you forget to wash your face?
No you don't.
No you don't.
What if you remember while you're doing the
ortho?
It's better to restart again.
There's a difference of opinion within the medev,
however, you would have to start again. Brothers,
everyone stand up, stretch, and then sit back
down.
Quickly quickly.
Second wajib that he mentions is
lady, Right? It is to wash your hands
after waking up from your night sleep.
That's because the prophet
If one wakes up,
right,
after after having gone to sleep at night,
then he shouldn't dip his hands in the
water
until,
or should I say, except after having washed
it 3 times because you don't know where
your hands were.
And if you were to now dip your
hands into the water, that water would now
become Tahir after it was tahor because of
your hands going inside.
Right? And we may well find ourselves in
that position and Allah knows best.
They what if now you just woke up
from your night sleep and then you
go to the tap?
Normally, you would wash your hands 3 times
at the beginning, right, which is sunnah. Now
you have another 3.
You do it 6 times.
It goes into one another.
Right?
Make the intention of covering both and InshaAllahu
Ta'ala
should be fine.
Excellent.
Here now the sheikh goes on to that
which nullifies the
Number 1 is al kharajimin sabih. Anything that
comes out
of the 2 passageways, whether it's normal or
abnormal,
As long as something comes out, this breaks
your
although
okay. Anything that comes out,
Even if that something that comes out is
abnormal.
Some of the examples that we gave yesterday
was, and I used to mention it in
East London when a lot of roadmen used
to attend.
Let's just say someone now is smuggling drugs.
However,
after pushing the drugs out,
right,
doesn't have any
impurities connected to it.
Is it so many days possible? Yes, it
is. He wants to pray. And yes, brothers
and sisters, there are drug dealers who pray.
There are drug dealers who pray.
Right?
There is a brother, subhanAllah,
he never used to get caught and he
had non Muslim friends,
And they all ended up becoming Muslims because
they thought this guy,
he's never been caught.
He must be up to something, so let's
become Muslim as well.
Every single time he will stop whatever he's
doing, he goes and prays. He has a
masala in the back
while he's maybe moving ounces of drugs from
a to b.
And alhamdulillah, the brother changed. In assata tanhaan
al fashay wal munkar. The assata removes the
filth and the evil from one's life.
No matter what you are doing, you should
still pray.
Right? And it's only a matter of time
before
the filth and the evil is eliminated from
your life.
What if an individual now
goes to the GP, the general practitioner,
and they stick a thermometer
up your backside.
Right?
And excuse me for these explicit,
examples, but it must be mentioned because they
are asked.
When the thermometer has entered, it's it's done
with cotton.
When it is taken out, it comes out
damp,
whether broken or not.
Why?
Because it came out damp. Did it go
in damp?
Something came out. Remember we said anything that
comes out. Whether it is a lot or
not.
Even if it is one drop, however, a
worm comes out.
That happens. I've had cases where a brother
asked me, okay, this worm came out. What
do I do?
Or the doctor had to actually take it
out because it got stuck inside of there,
or some insects managed to get stuck inside.
Does it break?
Yes, it does.
Okay,
this would now consider
or this would now,
invalidate
your
What are the 3 impurities that we will
mention? Number 1, vomit, if a lot of
vomit comes out of your interior.
Number 2, pas, there's no more passes?
There's no apasis?
Yeah. When you have, like, a big spot
and then it just keeps coming up, keeps
coming up, keeps coming up. Number 3 is
blood. According to the hanabula, excessive blood breaks
your
Type number 3,
touching your private part, whether it's the front
or the back.
Hanan will normally mention 3 conditions.
1st condition is that the private part has
to be connected.
The private part has to be connected. Is
that something that
is abnormal?
Does it make sense? Out of touch with
reality?
I told the brothers the other day. Right?
I personally read an article.
I believe it was on the Washington Post
or one of these other
American newspapers
where a woman was struck with jealousy,
and she decided to cut
his private parts off.
And then she threw it in the park.
Okay. The forensic scientist or the doctor now
has to pick this up, Sahib.
Wallahi Alim brothers. And because
my man sometimes, you know, has like a
fiqh antenna,
the moment I read these kind of things,
right, the first thing that pops to mind
is these fiqhmasa'il.
And I remember the 3 conditions. Oh, now
it makes sense.
And when teaching, I'll mention this example.
So you don't think that this is completely
out of touch with reality.
Right? The doctor could be a Muslim or
the forensic scientist could be a Muslim
Once they carry out his prayers, he now
picks it up.
And of course, most likely he'll be wearing
gloves, but if he makes direct contact with
it, picks it up,
does that break his?
Is it connected, though? We mentioned it has
to be connected in order for the wudu
to be broken.
It's not connected here. However,
when the doctor now operates it back onto
his body,
Okay? And he's doing his tests after, insha'Allah,
hopefully, he's gone back to normal.
Comes in contact with it, makes direct contact
with it. Does it break his wall?
Yes. It does. That's the first connection. It
has to be connected. Number 2,
By the way, brothers, this is what our
sheikh taught us in the prophet's masjid,
And I'm just reading that to you, brothers,
but the example was for me. He didn't
mention an example.
So don't
blast him for that. Number 2, it has
to be
with the hand.
If you end up touching your private part
with
your elbow, does it break it?
Doesn't.
Right? Number 3, direct contact.
Hadith specifically mentions direct contact. I know some
of you guys are going to ask, I
just came out of the shower,
I put Vaseline on,
creamed myself, my thighs and whatever have you,
calmly ask question.
And then my hand ended up touching my
private part. Does it break it? Yes, it
does. The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said,
whoever touches his private part has broken his
Okay? Whether you touch your own private part
or another touches
a private part.
It's like, brothers and sisters.
Whether it's a man touching the private part
of a woman or vice versa.
Right?
The one being touched,
just merely being touched, it doesn't break his
wudu.
Except of course if he,
Jnani is touched with lust and there is
contact between them, only then. However,
if for example another doctor
had to do some tests on someone's private
part,
which happens,
does it break your wudu, the one who
the tests are being done on? It doesn't.
Does it break the doctor's view, the doctor's
wudu If he makes direct contact with not
using gloves, it makes direct contact. Does it
break his one?
If it makes direct, yes it does. Three
conditions, it probably has to be connected.
Using the hand,
number 3, direct contact in order for the
wudu to break.
The wife, now a mother is washing the
private part of her child, infant.
Does it break it?
Is it a private part?
Is it not a private part?
It's a private part. Right? Does it break
it?
If she doesn't wanna break her will do,
then she can use wipes. There's a way
around it.
According to this view, it would break it.
And here's the safer one as well because
of the 2 hadith that I mentioned.
And I say the other hadith is actually
what abrogated when the messenger sala alayhi was
in said,
touching your private part is like touching any
other part of your body.
And he said we can't reconcile this with
the other. There's another narration as well in
the messian said that was narrated by Ibn
Abhisheva Man Masad Dhakaar Weber touches a private
part has broken his wallow.
But in other narrations, he has the pronoun,
whoever touches
his private part.
So they reconcile between all of them. If
one touches a private part, it breaks it.
As for the woman, it's the inside.
Likewise, when it comes to the back, we're
not speaking about every part of your backside,
not the part that you sit on, but
rather,
that which brings out the feces, that area.
Is that clear? Only then He breaks it.
Number 4,
number 4, that which breaks the order is
eating camel meat.
Number 5, ba'gaslumeyitin,
washing the deceased. We're talking about the one
who comes in direct contact with the deceased,
Right? It may well be that he's passing
certain substances to the one who's washing.
As long as he is not coming in
direct contact with
the dead
or the deceased,
his wudhu is intact.
As for the one washing it, it's only
him that breaks the
The least that we say is that there,
he has to make Udoh.
Abdulai ibn Abbas also had his view.
Are you guys
tired?
I think Nahan's getting tired.
Number 6 is losing
your sanity,
and then he says kanomi also like for
example sleep,
and then he says was suhlu dawahul jahili.
He concludes the line of poetry by saying
asking
removes the disease of ignorance
An na'am, ignorance is a disease.
Like those who ended up killing that companion.
Right?
His head was gashed open
and he was in the state of Janabir,
they told him to
they told him to
take a bath or to take a purification
bath,
which ended up killing him. Masala has got
so angry, he said, kataroo katarooumalah.
They killed them, may Allah kill them.
And then he said, Inna Mashifaoul iyiswal.
The cure for ignorance is
to ask. Why didn't they ask when they
didn't know? That's what the prophet
said.
Right?
So asking is not something that is blameworthy,
if you are trying to gain an understanding
in the religion.
Aisha radiAllahu ta'ala Anha she said, the best
of the women niman nisa o nisa ul
ansar.
Shyness did not stop them from getting an
understanding in the religion.
Mujahid ibn Jabbar, he said the student of
Abdullah ibn Abbas,
2 people don't learn, the one who's shy
and the one who's arrogant because the shy
one never asks,
right. Very very important an individual asks
but just not now, you can ask later.
And then he says
that which the one who has lost his
wudu can't do is the following.
Number 1, touching the musaf. This is the
position of the 4 great scholars of fiqh.
All the great 4 scholars of fiqh,
they take this view,
and they have the reasons for it. For
example, the narration of Abdul Abinabi Baqin fil
kitabil Ladi
Messenger
sent a book to Amr ibn Hazem, and
he had a whole load of instructions in
that.
One of the instructions was
The one who touches the Quran should only
be in the state of purity.
And when we say the Quran, it's any
part of the Quran, even the string.
Okay?
If you want to come in contact with
the Quran, you wear gloves.
Right? You wear gloves.
And we have 3 of the companions as
well, like Salman al Farisi,
Sa'id ibn Mi Waqas, and other nanam,
right, who would instruct,
right, who would instruct
their companions to make wudu.
Babe, what if now you're reading from the
from the phone? Is that a must
have? No. It's not. That's fine.
When it comes to the must have, you
must have.
Although
number 2, I'm in tawaf in doing tawaf.
Whether it's an obligatory tawaf or a superrogatory
tawaf, you must have
although
you must have although
there's
evidence for it
He said the salat is like tawaf,
except that you're allowed to speak.
Number 3
is. How long left in Maghrib?
One example that I forgot to mention is
when speaking about the intention,
the one who makes wudu
just to cool down, or sometimes you have
a shower in order to cool down. It's
a very hot summer's day.
One goes into the bathroom and takes a
shower.
Right? Or
he goes into the bathroom now to make
ablution.
If he didn't make the intention, does that
uplift the spiritual impurity?
Answer is no. Maybe one of the examples
that you would like to write down.
I know brothers and sisters, you may be
very very tired,
and I'll say to you all what our
Sheikh said to us when he saw the
students getting tired in the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam's masjid.
He closed his book because the sheikh sometimes
can get very very detailed in his explanations,
and
he told them Al almuthakeel
knowledge is very heavy.
And those who are patient are only a
few.
And those who become scholars
are only a minority within a minority.
Knowledge is not easy, it requires a lot
of patience and discipline.
And when the Sheikh Sheikh Swaymoh noticed this,
this is what he said to the people.
Right?
They're sitting down,
your knees scraping
on the ground, and your elbows
going through a very tough time.
Right? It's not easy. Right?
However, this knowledge is something that money can't
buy.
It requires a lot of patience, a lot
of discipline,
and it reaps its fruits. You'll reap its
fruits.
So be very patient inshallah
The Shaykhna goes on to speak about
that which relates to the salah.
Assalah my beloved brothers and sisters,
it means linguistically
It means linguistically
Even this linguistic meaning was used by the
prophet when he said that duya hadukumila walimatin
falyujeeb.
When you are invited to a walima,
then accept the invitation.
Faynkanasayiman
faliusali.
If you've been invited now to the walima,
make sure you accept the invitation. However, if
you are fasting,
then you should do salah.
What does that mean?
Start doing the salahatuljanazah,
the funeral prayer and the wedding
or 2 raka'at, you start praying 2 raka'at
and then you leave.
It means make du'a for him. All is
the du'a that you normally
Asking Allah to bless his marriage and to
bless
that which takes place between his has, between
him and his wife.
As for the technical meaning of a salat
is
Sayings and actions of the salah that starts
with a takbir and it ends with
taslim.
As the messenger
said in Hadid Miftahu Salati At Tawur,
wataharim
wataqbir watahalir wataaslim.
The keys to the salat is
purification,
the tahareem
or the tahareem of the salat, that which
makes, that which is halal haram, even if
you look at
takbiratulihram,
the actual term itself,
it comes from haram,
takbiratulihram,
That's what we hear, right? Takbirratul
I Haram that Allahu Akbar
that makes that which was halal haram like
you can't eat, you can't drink and so
on and so forth
and talking.
So
it starts with a Takbir and it ends
with
tahleeruataslim
and that which was haram becomes halal with
the salam at the end.
And then he says, shartuhaqul.
Again the salah has conditions just like the
wudu.
He says tohuro, the first condition is at
tahara, which is pretty obvious,
you must be in a state of Tahara,
must be in a state of Tahara before
you start the salat. From what? He says,
been hadithin,
from any spiritual impurities and we mentioned there
are of 2 types, the mind and also
the major.
Number 2, wanejaasin,
and likewise you need to purify
yourself from any visible
physical impurities.
And you have to remove the visible physical
impurities from where?
Three places. Who can give me to 3
places?
Brothers who didn't attend the class.
Clothing, Jameel.
Your body,
place of prayer.
Even if there's one drop of urine on
your thighs,
you have to make sure that you remove
it.
With water that is Wat Tahoor, you are
not excused.
Later on you remember, oh, the dog
accidentally urinated on my clothes.
Or for whatever reason as you were leaving
the toilet,
the urine splashed onto you.
Okay. You would have to make sure that
you remove it.
If you prayed you have to go back
and pray again
after doing the tahara.
Number 3, with setru, you have to make
sure you cover your aura.
What is the aura of a man?
Between the navel and also the knees.
That area between the navel and the knees,
does it include the navel?
According to the Hanabi it doesn't,
right. They say as
mentioned in the narration.
The narration states that which is between
the navel and also the kneecaps,
that area must be covered.
Okay? The Hanamidah also state that at least
one of
your shoulders need to be covered.
Are you with me because of?
A narration that has been authentically reported.
La yusalliannaahadukum
laysaalaaatikhimin
husheye, one should not pray and
his shoulders aren't covered. At least one of
them needs to be covered.
At least one of them must be covered.
Okay.
Hey. What about if you're wearing a vest?
Does the vest cover the shoulder?
Because it's right here. Right? It's on the
neck.
No. What about the American ones?
Ones
that I wore for basketball.
They waif now your aura becomes uncovered in
the salah.
I'm going to give you guys, inshallahta'ala principle
and this principle will make your life so
much more easier.
The principle states,
your salah does not become invalid
unless two things happen
at the same time.
If a lot of your aura becomes exposed,
and this lasts for a long time,
or should I say adhaabit because adhaabit is
that which
is specific to
a particular
topic or bab.
I'll give you guys an example.
And may Allah azza will just save every
single one of you guys from this.
And I see it happening all the time,
especially in front of the Kaaba
because he's an inexperienced
rookie
in putting on the lower garment. You know
the Haram? He doesn't know how to put
it on properly.
Doesn't have a belt either.
When he goes down in ruku, the whole
thing just drops.
Happens or not,
fortunately,
I've had to experience the horror
of seeing it.
Sometimes right in front of me.
Does the salama become invalid?
Does anybody walk around after it drops
where there's aur uncovered?
So it only makes sense that he picks
it up straight away, sir. He covers himself.
So did this individual now
meet the two conditions?
A
lot of his aura did become apparent. However,
did it last for a long time?
These two things must happen at the same
time.
You with me? I'll give you guys another
example. He happens to be in a desert
and a strong wind
uncovers his aura and you see it
flying
a 100 meters away in the space of
a couple of moments.
His lungi, you guys know what lungi is?
You Asians do,
In Samadhi, they say
Ma'awis, or in Arabic they call it Izzar.
This is the lower garment that one wears.
Some
are connected and some are not. Some has
an opening like the ihrams, you have to
And that's the catastrophe one.
So what happens is it flies.
Within a couple of months already a 100
meters away.
If it doesn't have anything to cover himself,
what do we say about this individual salah?
That his salah is now invalid, that his
salah is invalid.
Is that clear?
Wife and individuals,
becomes a parent.
Okay. Let me give you an example. A
sister, and a sister asked this yesterday.
She prays and then she finds out at
the end that some of her hair was
showing.
And by the way, what's the aura of
a woman?
Is her whole body excluding the face
and also the hands and some scholars they
also add the feet.
Okay.
But every other part of her body needs
to be covered including her hair. However,
she found out that right at the end
that some of her hair was uncovered.
Like, let's just say couple of strands from
the back of her hair are showing.
Does it break the word salah?
Doesn't break the salah. Why?
It's not a lot of a aura
that became exposed. So it has to be
what? A combination of a lot of the
becoming exposed,
and also this has to go on for
a long time.
Are your thighs the aura?
Why is it that the mess salaam had
uncovered?
Is that what you wanna tell us, Muhammad?
Messenger
was sitting in a room, Abu Bakr walked
in, he didn't cover his thighs.
Umar walked in, he didn't cover his thighs.
When Uthman walked in, he covered it. And
then he was asked why?
Be shy
of
an individual that the malaika, the angels are
shy of.
However, that's what he done with his action,
but there is a statement where he commanded
one of the companions,
raapifahidaik,
cover your thighs.
Yesterday Abu Zayd was extremely upset that I
didn't go through a surl
a surlifik.
That if you have an action of the
prophet and
he has a statement and that statement seems
to be contradicting which one is given priority
to?
Statement,
right? They say al qawlu aqwa min al
fee'l
because he could have left it uncovered for
a number of reasons.
It may well be specific
for the messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam to
do so. There is that possibility, right? And
then you have another principle in the soul
al fiqh.
Right? If there's Ihtimalat in a particular daleel,
right? Using that as a daleel, as an
evidence to prove a point,
can no longer happen. And there's so many
possibilities as to why the messenger salaam
had his
thighs uncovered.
You guys with me?
But with his tongue, he clearly and explicitly
uttered
cover your
thighs.
Number 4 is duhu alu aktin, the time
must enter,
before you pray.
Okay? You can't just say, you know what
I'm going to be at work, I'm going
to pray before I start work.
Every Salat has its appointed time.
Right? Even if you're at work, brothers and
sisters.
Did you know that a workplace can't actually
stop you from praying?
It can't. You are entitled to 5 minutes
every hour as a little small break.
So you have them going out for facts,
right? If he's allowed to go out for
a cigarette, why can't I go and pray?
You don't ask because you're shy of your
boss. Right?
You're scared of your provision.
And Allah is the Lord of His provision
as well,
and your provision.
It is Him who is providing for everyone.
Right?
You'll see that they will begin to respect
you more
when you hold on to your morals and
values.
They respect you more.
And Allah will give you a way out.
It should be one of the first things
you're thinking about when starting work, and may
Allah make it easy for you all. Sometimes
what happens
is, shaitan can get the better of us.
And especially in the winter brothers and sisters,
right,
where the salawats are very cramped up together,
right, duhur, aasir, maghrib,
May well be that you have to pray
all of them before your work finishes from
9 to 5.
You can't just say I'm going to pray
it later on.
Scholars, they count this from the kabayr, the
major sins.
Number 6,
sorry, number 5, right,
is the intention.
And we've spoken about the intention.
Number 6, Wal Qibla. You have to face
the Qibla. If you're in front of the
Kaaba, you have to make sure that you
face the Kaaba itself.
To make sure that you're directly facing the
Kaaba. As for anywhere else, when you're distance
from the Kaaba, as long as you're facing
that direction,
Right? And you have to try and find
the direction wherever you go.
I have an app on my phone. It's
called Qiblah.
You have to make sure that the degrees
is on 0 and by that you are
able to tell,
if
you have faced the kibla or not.
I worry if you're on a plane,
and you don't know where the kibla is.
Yesterday I mentioned something.
You can use the map.
You might not necessarily be able to use
the map accordingly.
You try to the best of your ability
to face where Saudi Arabia is. You find
where Saudi Arabia is, it tells you exactly
which direction it's going, and then you try
to turn towards it as much as you
can.
You guys with me?
Because you're not going to have internet
on your phone most of the time.
You don't have connection. You don't have wifi.
That may well be your only
solution. However,
there is that which takes precedence and that
is
if
you are able to pray your prayers after
reaching your destination
with its conditions and with its pillars,
right, isn't that foremost that you do that
when you reach your destination as long as
the time doesn't finish?
Let's say for example you got on the
plane
an hour before Dhor at
11 o'clock.
Right. And Dor is at 12,
and you're going to be arriving at your
destination
at
by the way, what's what time is Maghrib
now?
8.
Let's just say 8 o'clock. Right? You're going
to be arriving at your destination at 6:30.
As a traveler, you're allowed to combine between
your prayers.
It makes sense that you prayed properly when
you get to your destination, sir,
instead of now praying when don't necessarily know
whether you're coming with the conditions or not.
Everything that we're studying brothers and sisters, there
are there is more detail to it. Al-'ilm,
knowledge is an ocean.
Everything that we've covered there is what? A
more in-depth
elaboration on it. This is why he says
the ins and the outs, inshaAllah ta'ala you
study it
in more in-depth texts.
The shirk now goes on
to the pillars.
The pillars are inside of the act of
worship as mentioned previously when speaking about the
pillars of the wudu.
The conditions are what?
Prerequisites that which needs to be met before
the act of worship.
And they are how many of the salat
that the shaykh mentioned?
6.
Here the sheikh mentions 13 pillars.
He mentions 13.
However, I can see some eyes rolling around.
Those are Hanbali studies,
those are Hanbali students.
How many is it normally?
14, sahe.
What about 15?
And some of the books they mention 15.
Taib, do the halabila themselves differ
with how many pillars there are?
Answer is no, and I'll explain that inshallah
in a
moment.
He says the
first pillar is you have to be standing
up.
Again let's speak about somebody who's travelling on
a plane.
When you're on a plane, what is it
that you do? How do you pray?
What's the first thing that you need to
look into?
There's a place that you can stand. Excellent.
You have to look for the designated
area for prayers.
Some flights have that and some don't.
Like, Saudi Airlines
has it, Etihad Airways has it. By the
way, I'm not getting paid to promote them.
The Emirates normally tends to have it as
well and also Qatar Airways have taken all
of these different flights
and they have a designated area
for prayer.
You will have to ensure that you go
there first because
when going to the designated area, are you
able to cover the pillars and
whatever else relates to the prayer? Yes.
They're on your seat, can you? No, you
can't.
That's why the first step is finding the
designated prayer area. What if you can't find
that? What's the next step?
You pray on your seat, but how do
you pray on your seat?
You must make sure that you come with
that which you can, and what you can't,
you are an excuse for it.
Can you stand up on the plane?
You can right?
Babe,
can you do a rakur on the plane?
You can't. Can you do sujood?
You can't.
So let's just pray sitting down. Right?
Sahih?
Who can give me the principle in
There was a principle, though.
I want the line of poetry, and I'll
give you a tenor.
Has anyone memorized that?
No. No. Not in English.
Now I want the actual line of poetry
in here.
He says asiadi, and some of you guys
have studied this poem,
which basically means,
if you have now been instructed or commanded
to do something, you have to come with
it to the best of your ability.
Meaning,
you have to come with what you can
and if the rest are difficult, you are
excused.
Meaning,
you're on a flight now.
Can you start the prayer standing up?
Yes, you can.
Can you do the rakor? No, you can't.
So when it comes to ruku, you sit
down and I'm going to demonstrate it.
Okay.
Start the salah like this.
You read whatever you have to read, then
you go into the record position. Right? What
do you do?
You do record when the seat is right
in front of you.
You sit down.
Right?
And then what do you do?
You have to stand back up because you
can't stand up.
And then you go back and sit down
again.
Make sense?
So you have to come with that what
you can. I know sometimes you feel shy.
Everyone's going to be looking at me.
What's this bearded guy going to be doing
next?
As soon as you say Allahu Akbar,
Say it quietly Insha'Allah.
So you have to make sure that you
start the salah in the standing position.
1st thing I was mentioning in the hadith
is when you stand up for prayer.
Right?
Pray standing up. You can't pray standing up.
You have to pray.
Sitting down you can't pray sitting down you
have to pray,
lying down. What if an old man,
right, wants to pray? How does he start
the prayer?
You find some old man, Hadahumullah, may Allah
help them all and guide them and give
us all beneficial knowledge,
right? The guy can walk, mashallah.
He walks from his car all the way
to the rows of Masir al Nabawi,
but then grabs his chair. As the salah
starts, he sits down.
Remember Sheikh Abdul Zakir Bayl and may Allah
honor him,
he was one time advising an old man
who did that,
And he's complaining to the sheikh arguing saying,
sheikh I can't, and he's standing there for
the last 10 minutes saying I can't.
What do you mean you can't? You just
stood there for 10 minutes.
So you have to come with what you
can, and what you can't you're excused. So
this old man, if he can start the
prayer, because he can in this situation, he
just walked from his car all the way
here,
right, he starts the salas in the standing
position, and then if he gets tired and
he can't do the rest, what does he
do?
He sits down.
It's a clear brothers.
You're never excused. I remember one time I
was on a hospital bed, and my excused
now I can barely move
due to the operation that I had.
Right.
I have to what? Pray lying down.
I have to pray lying
The second pillar is the takbiratulihram.
A common mistake brothers and sisters is,
you see that the jama'ah is taking place
right in the masjid.
The imam goes into the required position.
He's at the door, he wants to catch
the salah. What does he do?
Goes sprinting towards the rose
and just dives into the rukuq position.
And a lot of the time he forgets
the takbir.
If he says Allahu Akbar and then goes
into it, jayid, no problem.
And when he says that takbira tulihram and
that takbira, it is what? The takbira tulihram.
Because you have other times when you say
Allahu Akbar, right? We're not speaking about that
now. We're speaking about the Allahu Akbar that
enters you into the salah, which is a
pillar.
He has to make sure that he says
Allahu Akbar and then he goes and he
has to also be in a standing position,
not moving.
So Allahu Akbar and then goes into the
position.
Common mistake is
he might not even say Allahu Akbar.
The other common mistake is,
instead of saying the Allahu Akbar that enters
you into the salat, he says the other
one, he intends the other one,
which is not a pillar.
His salat has not even started yet.
Did you know that your salah won't start
unless you intend that this Allahu Akbar is
the Allahabad that enters you into
salah. Pretty common, right?
Number 3, Fatiha Tun.
Reading the Fatiha. I want all you guys
to
remember these 3 individuals.
The imam,
the one praying behind the imam, and the
third is the one who's praying by himself.
Because we're going to be making mention of
them,
okay, from time to time.
Who has to read the fatiha?
Let's take this one out.
And not the three masons sign.
First one is who? The imam.
You guys with me?
2nd is the mumum,
and the third is
the one who's praying by himself.
The one praying behind the imam,
okay,
does he have to read the Fatiha according
to the Hanabi? No. He doesn't.
Especially if
he is reading out aloud,
and they have the evidence and it's pretty
strong brothers and sisters. Right?
I really don't wanna go into it at
this moment in time for the sake of
time, but they really do have the evidences.
And it's a very deep discussion amongst the
scholars.
Right? Only the imam and the one praying
by himself, he must read it.
As for the one who's praying behind imam,
he has to listen attentively.
Right? He has to listen attentively.
And you have to make sure that you
come with all the Tashdi that and you
come with these letters.
And if you end up changing the word
that fatah is invalid which will render your
salah to be invalid.
What does tashdeedat mean? Alhamdulillahi
rabbilrabbi
shaddah. So make sure you come with all
of them.
Right?
Especially if you change the meaning. For example,
Anamta.
Right? Anamta
with the Fatha. You know what you just
said?
The right path that I bestowed upon.
You change it like that, but when you're
saying, I'm to that which you bestowed upon
me, oh Allah.
You didn't bestow nothing upon anyone brother.
Number 4, ruku'un,
the ruku',
the bowing position.
Number 5 is the coming back up from
the ruku position,
coming back up from the ruku position,
and standing straight and erect.
Is that clear brothers and sisters?
Number 6 is sujood, and in every rakah
there's 2 sujoods, 2 prostrations, and you must
come with both of them.
You must come with both of them in
order for the rakah to be valid. If
you leave 1 and you come with the
other, the rakah is rendered invalid, which will
make the salah invalid.
And every Sajdah brothers and sisters
has 7 pillars.
Don't worry it's not getting complicated, it's very
simple. The 7 pillars are,
the first one is your forehead with the
with the nose. That's 1.
3 and 4 are your 2 hands.
56.
No. No. No. No.
Sorry. 23 are your 2 hands. Right?
45
are your 2 kneecaps. Your knees have to
be on the ground.
6 and 7,
it has to be like that.
It has to be like that touching the
ground.
Sometimes you see the,
the toe is wobbling somewhere
high and above.
You have to make sure that it's what
touching the ground,
connected.
I was commanded to prostrate on 7 parts
of my body,
the messenger
said.
Number 7, arraf'ala maqalu
coming back up
from the sujood position,
right? That's a pillar. You have to come
up.
Someone may say, okay, what if I stand
up?
I'm still coming up, aren't I?
No. This is why the next pillar
states what?
So when he does come back up, he
has to be in a sitting position.
Right.
That's why he said
when you come back up, you have to
be in a sitting position.
You have to be in the sitting position.
You can't decide to stand up and then
go into sujud again.
You're leaving off a pillar.
Right?
Because one also may remain in the sitting
position, but he's not coming up.
So
the 6th pillar is the prostration, the 7th
pillar is come up, and number 8 is
to be in a sitting position when coming
up.
That's why he says
between the two prostrations.
Number 9 is
Right? Being calm in every one of those
positions. Being calm in every one of those
positions.
Is that clear, brothers and sisters?
Messenger
hadith,
the worst of the thieves is who?
The one who carries out a highway,
or should I say a bank robbery in
broad daylight,
or the one who robs old women,
right, preys on the vulnerable.
Is that the worst of the thieves?
The worst of the thief is the one
who steals from his salat. How
does he steal from his salat? He doesn't
know the record properly. He doesn't know the
sujid properly.
See this video going around and I don't
find it funny at all.
Right. And you find a caption,
Ferrari imam,
every Ramadan.
Sahih?
How does he pray 11 raka'at or maybe
should I say 20 raka'at of taraweeh?
Up down. Up down. Up down. Up down.
And then we're circulating this video. Ferrari, imam.
It's not salaab brothers. This salaab has never
been accepted. This is not a salaab that
Allah is always pleased with because of how
he's being prayed.
Right?
Number 10,
Number 10 that is. Number 11, when you
do that second teshahood, you have to be
in a sitting position.
That's number 11.
And number 12 is the taslim
saying Assalamu alaykum Warhamatullah
on both sides.
Okay. What if you're the imam of a
masjid,
and if you were to now say Assalamu
Alaikum Warhammatullahi when turning to your left or
turning to your right, the people
maybe on the other side of the Masjid
or maybe those who are praying outside, especially
on 27th when it gets very very packed,
they won't hear you.
Imagine, like, this is the mic, sir?
If it's a masjid that has,
a not so good mic system,
they may struggle.
Turning to the left and to the right,
is that a pillar?
It's a sunnah. This is again when your
fiqh comes in.
If you don't speak directly into their mike,
you may have a lot of confusion, right?
They're going to struggle outside, they don't know
is it finished, is it not finished.
So don't ruin the salat of the musalin
and use your fiqh.
Just speak into the mic. Assalamu alaikum to
Allah. Assalamu alaikum to Allah.
Number 13 is
There has to be an order.
There has to be an order. You can't
decide to start with the sujood and then
you go back up
and then you come back down that. It
don't work like that. It has to be
in order.
Why wasn't the 14th mentioned? What is missing?
Which pillar is actually missing from that which
we didn't mention?
Other than those who studied in Masdid e
Mu'un Nawi.
Sending salawat upon the prophet
Did the Hanabi refer as to what a
pillar is or not?
Why wasn't it mentioned?
Sometimes the masha'i sorry?
Jamil. Excellent.
Sometimes they may mention less than others, not
that they differ with him,
but because
2 of the pillars 2 of the pillars
they fall under 1.
When he said the second teshahhud,
that which also comes under it is the
You guys with me?
And sometimes they may even mention,
a couple of them under one another,
and sometimes they might separate between them. They
don't actually differ with
what a pillar is, but they might just
have different numbers with how, and that it
goes back to how they calculated it.
We're nearly done, prophet. Alhamdulillah.
We are nearly done.
I know you guys are going to ask
why if an individual now leaves off one
of these pillars accidentally
Well, come on to
that, One thing we all agree is that
if one leaves off any of the aforementioned,
purposefully or intentionally a salah is invalid.
Someone turns around, you know what? I can't
be bothered today to do the ruku. I'm
a feeling,
very, very tired. I had a long day.
I'm just gonna go straight into sujood because
sujood is a comfortable position, but I'll make
up for it by spending much longer there
than the ruku.
You Surah
doesn't.
Surah becomes invalid because the intention left it
off.
Now we move on to the Wajibat, we're
nearly done brothers.
I'm going to give you guys a break
inshallah in approximately
10 minutes.
And we'll only have a little bit left.
It now goes on to the wajib, but
the difference between a pillar and a wajib,
my brothers and my sisters, is that the
wajib,
okay,
if one leaves it off accidentally, it continues
with a salah.
The same doesn't apply to
the same doesn't apply to
the pillars.
There are some uhham related to the pillars
which I will come into. I remember I
really really struggled with
understanding the mess Allah. If you leave off
a pillar accidentally, what do you do?
A very long time ago.
However now we have 8 wajibat.
8 acts that are wajib that are mandatory.
Okay?
And you must come with them. However,
if you leave any of them accidentally,
do you stop your salah? Do you restart
your salah? No. You continue
all the way up until the end and
then you make up for it with
the 2 prostrations of forgetfulness.
Number 1 is takbiratulintikal,
the transitional
takbir. I call it the transitional takbir.
All of the
Allahu Akbars other than the first Allahu Akbar
that enters you into the salah.
Every single one of them is mandatory.
But the question is, when do you actually
say it?
It's a common mistake, I had to pull
up a lot of Imams
It's Ramadan.
Right?
Because
when moving from one stage to the next,
they will say Allahu Bar like this, look.
Allahu Akbar and then it goes down.
It's called takbir rutulintikaal
for reason.
The transitional takbir meaning you have to come
with it when?
In transition.
You have to make sure that you say
it when you are moving, not when you're
standing or when you've reached the Ruqut position
or the Sujood position that could, if you
do that intentionally, possibly invalidate your salah.
Right? You have to do it when moving.
Is that clear brothers and sisters?
Number 2 is Tasmi'un
Sami
Allahu Muhammad. Remember we have the imam?
We have the one praying behind the imam,
and we also have the
the one praying by himself.
Right?
There
is only a must upon who?
The imam
and the one praying by himself.
The one praying behind the imam, he doesn't
have to say that. Why? Because the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam said,
If the imam says then you, as someone
who's being behind says
Is that clear?
You guys with me?
As for the imam and also the one
praying by himself, they have to come with
something else. And this is the 3rd wajib
at Tahmidu, which means
Rabbanah walakalhamd.
So after he says, samayallallahuilhamdah
and then goes into the standing position,
when still he says Rabbanah
is a clamber of us, sisters
and by the way you can say
lakalhamd without the waw, you can say Rabbanah
wala kalhamd, you can also say Allahumma
rabbanah
lakalhamd
without the waw and you can also say,
this is the 4th one, Allahumma rabbana
wala kalhamd.
They are all authentic and sometimes it's good.
One brother came up to me and asked,
how can I maybe increase in my khushur?
Right? Sometimes they,
interchanging between different sunan, it causes you to
be more focused.
And also you have the long du'a that
the messenger salallahu alayhi wa sallam used to
make
that many may not necessarily know of,
and this is actually authentic. He would say,
And then he would go into sujood.
Try to look up the meanings of this
dua.
Right?
Sunnah of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
Number 4,
Number 5 was sujudi.
That which you say in your
and also that which you say in your
sujud. What do you say in your
Subhanu Rabi al
Adhim. What do you say in your sujood?
Subhanu Rabi ra'ala.
According to the Hanabi you must come with
both of them at least once,
anything more than a sunnah.
And they also say that you can't just
choose another
supplication or another dhikr
in place of this. For example, Aisha Radiallahu
Ta'ala, she said,
If you wanted to interchange and just say
that and not this, they will say no,
you have to come with at least one
of them to say subhanarabi'al adheem in your
ruku.
And then you're seduced subhanarabi'alat
at least once anything more than that sunnah.
Why do they say it's mandatory? This is
a nice benefit when the statement of Allah
fasab bihi bismirabbikal adhim came down. Hadith aukbu
namir and the Ahmed.
Mas'id
said make sure you do this in your
rakur.
You guys with me?
And likewise when Sabihisma came
down,
prophet
said
make sure you say it in your sujood.
And he commanded us and the base default
ruling of a commandment
is
it's Wajib.
So you have to come with that at
least once. Then let me just ask you
guys a question again, why if an individual
now forgets
in his sujood? What does he do there
and then?
Now he forgot Khalaas. Now he's in a
standing position.
He continues with his prayer
and then he makes up for it. He
doesn't go back. He makes up for it
at the end by coming with
the sajatayi saww, the two prostrations of
forgetfulness.
Number 6, he says
to say
at least once between the 2 sujoods.
Say Rabi ghfili to say at least once
between the 2 sujoods.
The hadith of Hadaifa says that the messrah
has done it twice, but the bare minimum
is to say it once.
Right? Why do I keep talking about the
bare minimum? At times brothers, let's be honest,
we find and sisters, we find ourselves in
these situations where,
the baby's crying
Or someone is praying behind you is pregnant,
your wife might be pregnant.
And she asks you, can you shorten the
prayer because you're praying at home?
What do you do in this kind of
situation, make it long?
You get into inside of her central nervous
system
by making it long?
What do you guys think?
Now you shorten it, and that's what the
prophet used to do.
He would say that I could hear the
crying of a baby and then I will
shorten the prayer. Again, this is when Yafik
kicks in. So it's very important to know
the bare minimum. People ask you the question,
is my salaasayah only done this once, only
done this twice, or I've done this, or
I've done that? To know the bare minimum,
it allows
you
to
validate
or validate
and validate validate.
Number 7 is the the shahudun Awalu,
the first shahud.
The first
shahood. Number 8 is being in the sitting
position when doing the first shahood.
And then he goes on to say,
everything other than what we should
everything other than that which we have taken
brothers and sisters is a sunnah.
Okay.
Why is it important knowing all of this?
So again, as I mentioned earlier,
right, so you know that which validates your
salah.
So if you memorize the pillars
in the Wajibat, you know what is valid
and what is not. Everything other than that
is a sunnah,
like raising your hands in
He would do this at 4 times.
Right?
The Sheikh now moves on to that which
will nullify your Salah.
The first thing that he starts with is
or the first point that he makes is
Tarkun Nirukhnin Mutlakah,
leaving off a pillar in whatever circumstance you
may be,
okay.
Leaving a pillar in whatever circumstance you may
be.
Intention leaving off the pillar, as we mentioned
earlier, that would invalidate the salah.
Why if an individual now
left off the pillar accidentally?
Which basically means we have 2 scenarios brothers
and sisters. Right?
First scenario is
if one remembers that he forgot
the pillar before he starts the Fatiha in
the second rakah.
So you have the first rakah and then
you have the second rakah.
In the first raka brothers and sisters, you
have to come with a rakur, right?
The buying position. We mentioned previously that this
is what a pillar.
But for whatever reason you ended up leaving
off,
out of forgetfulness we'll say.
Okay?
So when he was in a standing position
after finishing the surah after the fatiha, you
normally go down into
ruku, right? Instead of going into ruku, I
went into
sujud,
went up, sat, went into sujud again and
then he stood back up.
What do you do when you stand up?
What do you read in the second
Fatihah, right?
Before I'm about to read, ah,
he remembers that he forgot her core. What
does he do in this situation? The first
scenario is brothers and sisters, he remembers before
he starts the Fatihah.
You go back into the ruku position in
this scenario.
Is that clear?
I really struggled with this messa Allah a
very long time ago,
right. And I sat down
trying to figure out how I can maybe
articulate this to students.
Have you guys understood this first scenario?
Yeah.
You forgot the pillar in the first rakah,
what do you do?
When remembering before starting the Fatiha in the
second rakah,
you just go back into that position. You're
standing right going to the required position.
And then you carry on your salat from
that point on. After the Ruqut, what happens?
What would you normally do?
You come back up, right? And then you
go into sujood again,
and then you sit and then you go
into sujood again and you continue like that.
Everything that happened from the time that you
stood up all the way
back to what you left off, And in
this situation, it's from the all the way
to the that's a void. You can put
on cancel on it.
Everybody get that? I shall demonstrate
it. I'm now in the second raka.
I'm in the second raka.
You guys with me?
I'm about to start the.
I was in the sujood. I went up.
Now I'm in the I'm about to read
the.
I remember.
What did I leave off? What do I
do?
I go back into the request.
What normally happens after the request?
Record? And then what do I do? Sujood.
And I said
and then I come back up, and I
continue like that.
Clear? This is the position of the majority
of scholars.
Why if this individual now remembers look he
forgot the record, right? Same scenario.
He stands back up
Alhamdulillahi
rabbilahalamin.
Ah,
I forgot. What does he do here?
Jameel, that which happens here is brothers and
sisters,
this raka'ah now that he's in, in which
he just recited Surat Al Fadiha now becomes
his first raka.
Zakria.
As for that which he prayed before that,
you can count it as void, you can
cancel it.
Is that clear brothers and sisters?
Have you guys understood the masala?
This is the beauty of studying
Imadhab because if you look directly at the
hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, you
may struggle to derive this or you may
struggle to find a way of
deducing it from these hadith.
However, these messa'il are mentioned in
books of fiqh.
Even the lines of poetry that I mentioned
is from
the Navmal Jali, which is
close to an Alfiya,
close to being a 1,000 line poem.
Number 2.
The next act that nullifies the salah is
to leave off a wajib.
How many wajibs did we mention today?
8. If you live off any of them,
by purpose your Salah becomes invalid.
Number 3, Watarku Shartin likewise,
leaving off any of the conditions of the
Salaat intentionally
that would
render your Salat void.
Number 4, Waqad Al Kalam was speaking in
a Salah.
What would you have to say in order
for it to become void?
If two letters come out of your mouth,
then your salah has now become void.
Yeah, you have another view.
Number 5
Number 5 is excessive movement in the salat.
Say what determines
excessive movement in the salah?
Okay. If the one looking at you, my
beloved brothers and sisters,
right,
Or the way maybe I should phrase this
is
you're moving so much that the one looking
at you thinking this guy is not even
praying.
This guy's not even praying, that's how he
perceives you.
Are you guys with me?
Another position in the madhab is if they
say
3 consecutive movements, that's also the Shafi'a madhab.
3 consecutive movements would
nullify your
salah.
The
Messenger
did do a number of actions in the
salah,
like holding a child,
returning the salaam
as long as that which you do in
the salah does not
leave the
realm of that which the Messenger salah alayhi
wasalam done.
InshaAllah ta'ala your salah remains intact.
Or the realm.
Number 6 is Kalas Salamu.
Salaming out of the salat
before its proper time.
This individual salaam is out and then he
leaves,
right,
goes and sits in front of his xbox
and he's playing. Then remembers that only what?
Pray to. Is the salaam valid?
He has to go and repeat the whole
salaam again.
However, if you remember straight away and then
goes back, its size is intact InshaAllahu Ta'ala.
That's why he says anytime
during the salat, that he salams out.
Number 7, to
do something
intentionally in the salah.
Number 8.
Why do you say?
It comes
from
If two letters come out,
that comes out like that then
like this halas, we've reached the end now.
Okay.
And in any of these scenarios, you would
still have to come with the 2 prostrations
of forgetfulness,
as long as it's not something that you've
left off
or that which has made your Salat void.
Like, for example, if
one leaves off the pillar and then he
makes up for it, he comes with the
scenarios that I mentioned.
Right?
Is salam's out before his time and then
he goes back and he covers everything.
At the end, he would have to come
with
The Sheikh now moves on to,
the chapter of fasting. He says,
my beloved brothers and sisters linguistically,
it means what?
Alimsag, to withhold or to refrain.
Okay. The technical meaning of
asiam, it means what?
It is to stay away from something specific
by a specific person
at a specific time
with a specific intention.
Okay?
Now by now the hands are extremely tight.
Don't worry about it, inshallah. Just
refer back to the videos.
Yeah.
You You have to withhold from something specific
and this is now what
divided into 2.
There's 2 types of things that you need
to withhold from. Number 1, that which is
going to nullify your fast and this is
what we're going to be taking in a
moment.
Number 2,
is what? That which is going to
destroy your fast,
reduce the reward.
Right?
And this is the essence of fasting. A
lot of people think, Halas, as long as
I stay away from food, drink, and sexual
*, then Halas, I've met the objective.
We are trying to attain what in the
month of Ramadan when fasting? La'alakum
tatakum, so that you may attain a taqwa.
And a taqwa is to place a shield
between yourself and that which you fear as
Ibn Raja mentioned.
And this shiyood is what to
do, Allah told you to do and to
stay away from Allah told you to stay
away from.
The month of Ramadan, the way I put
it is like
an annual boot camp
or like an induction
or a training camp.
That month you need to control
your body parts from doing Haram.
That's why Jabril Abdulla radiAllahu ta'ala Anani said
that when you do fast, then make sure
your ears are fasting, your eyes are fasting
and also your tongue is fasting.
Let me ask you guys a question, why
if an individual now
or should I say if one now normalizes
refraining from that which I just mentioned, these
three body parts from Haram, what kind of
person you think will become?
I genuinely believe
in today's day and age. He'll become a
beloved servant of Allah,
a saint.
Do you guys agree with that?
A lot of the haram that we fall
into,
where does it normally stem from?
Especially if you live in bricks in here.
Which body part brothers?
The eyes
and sisters,
okay, especially now with the era of social
media, isn't it the eyes that's causing a
lot of filth to enter into our lives?
So So this is exactly what we're trying
to attain
in the month of Ramadan. When you
normalize
holding these body parts back, you become someone
of a Taqwa insha'Allah,
someone who's conscious of
Allah So he says, wajimunfishaari
it is mandatory
in a month and then he says Ayur
Ramadan in the month of Ramadan mintululul fajri
because earlier we mentioned that you only fast
at a specific time
from sunrise all the way up until sunset
Ila Gharub Shemsi and Itkhali then he speaks
about that which one needs to withhold from
that will nullify his fast.
The first thing that he mentions is Itkhadi
Shayin Ilal Joffi beiihadi,
right.
Consuming
anything, whatever it might be.
Anything that enters into your interior.
Right?
Whether it's edible or not. Whether it can
be digested or not,
right,
whether it's normal or abnormal, whether you are
moving things from a to b,
smuggling,
someone may say okay, I want to smuggle
drugs in the month of Ramadan but he's
still fasting.
Is it possible? Yes it is
right. But he thinks okay, because this is
not something that you can eat and it's
fine.
I would break it. Number
2, walistikaawwakaadal
hijama. The second point that he mentions from
that which nullifies your fast is
making yourself vomit,
right? And when making yourself vomit, something has
to come out.
It'staka'a faka'a,
as they mentioned in the books of Al
Fiqh. He made himself vomit. How do you
make yourself vomit? Either by smelling something that
is disgusting intentionally or maybe taking your fingers
and sticking it down your throat or looking
at something that's disgusting.
Is that clear?
Number 3, Al Hijama
Is what? Cupping.
The one cupping and the one being cupped.
Again, it's a matter of difference of opinion,
right?
The Hanan Bilal, they buy themselves on this
issue,
and the majority of scholars, they take the
other view. And they have a point as
well when the Muslim
walked past
2 individuals
in Al Baqiyyah and he said after Al
Hajjim and Mahjum, the one cupping and the
one being cupped, they've both broken their fast.
The one thing I forgot to mention pertaining
to
making yourself vomit, we've mentioned that, right? Something
has to come out.
If nothing comes out, it doesn't break it.
What if you're not accidentally vomit?
Does it break
it?
Whoever
unintentionally vomits
and it's fine, doesn't need to make it
up. However, if you make yourself vomit you
have to? No.
Says all of these aforementioned points is going
to what? Nullify your fast. There's so many
other things that would nullify the fast. Why
didn't the sheikh mention it?
But he mentions it in level 2, in
the 59 poetry.
Why? Who did he author this mandoma to
for? The kids.
Do the kids really need to
the young 6 7 year olds, do they
really need to know about on having sexual
* with his wife and
and,
maybe becoming intimate with the opposite gender,
right, and kissing and so on, and fondling.
That's why he left off certain
points.
And then he says
the conclusion, Shaykh he says, it is not
permissible for one who is religiously
obliged
to go forth in doing something without him
knowing the akham.
This normally happens in which situation, brothers and
sisters?
Hajj? Also business.
Everyone jumps onto Bitcoin. Alhamdulillah. They invest because
they're doing horrible now.
Had this gone into the ground, right?
It's doing really bad.
Everyone just jumps onto everything. You'll be surprised,
brother. I sometimes
hold consultation
sessions with businessmen who are very, very wealthy
and you'll be surprised. You'll be surprised
how common it is for them to fall
into riba and he doesn't know it.
Did you know that Umar al Khattab
used to stop certain individuals from coming to
the market because they didn't know the hikam.
He wouldn't allow them to trade.
Right.
Likewise, I really do suggest that you learn
about the Akam pertaining to Anika.
Marriage
save you a lot of headache. Knowing each
other's rights,
living in this country, it causes
the minds to become polluted.
Right? Everything is 5050.
Everything is 5050.
One day you're in the kitchen, and one
day she's in the kitchen.
This is 2022
for you.
UK.
So it's important that you know before you
embark on something. It says,
And it says go and attain knowledge
and ask its people. Don't go and ask
everyone and anyone.
If you want medical advice, who are you
going to seek consultation from?
The most qualified doctor that you know. Right?
Saharullah.
Likewise, when you want to
construct a building, you're going to go to
the one who's most qualified.
Likewise,
when you need some,
when you need a solicitor's advice, you're going
to go to the one who has a
very good track record. And likewise, when it
comes to your car, are you going to
take it to any mechanic?
You're going to take it to the one
who
has the best reputation, right?
Because your car is on the line, your
money is on the line.
Why is it but when it comes to
knowledge, we just think we can just, you
know,
go into Google and take it from wherever
it might be and and just say whatever
we want.
He says, Wasallaha
ask its people
when it comes to the compulsory acts and
be wary of being ignorant about it or
ignorant of it should I say. And it
says
ask Allah Subhanahu wa'anhu to give him a
good ending and he prays Allah Azza wa
Jalil does hamd
for having completed
this man Duma.
I have a Sunnah brothers and sisters. Whenever
I finish a particular book,
I take the time out to thank some
of my teachers.
Whatever I mentioned to you brothers and sisters,
I took it from the likes of Sheikh
Salih Cindy,
who I believe has paid a visit to
the college.
One of the most knowledgeable people I've personally
met.
Some even mentioned that when he started teaching
in the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's masjid,
it was one of the best things that
happened to the Haram in the last 100
years.
The man was teaching us Sur Al Fiqh
and you think that this is his specialty.
People think he only knows Aqeedah. He taught
us Fiqh
and he also taught us Aqeedah and that's
his specialty. That's what's very well known for,
right?
Sheikh Abdul Salam Shwayer.
Sheikh Mahal Muhtar Shankiti.
And finally Sheikh Aymir Bajid. May Allah preserve
him who
is, the teacher or should I say the
author of this and also
a good friend of mine who I benefit
a lot from, his name is Sheikh Abdul
Zagh. He's doing his PhD.
Sheikh Abdul Zagh Al Khalafi.
And the reason why I do this, it's
because Imam Masih Adir Hamatulai 'alai and his
poem of Al Qwa'adul Fakhiyyah, what did he
say?
Wahadhiqawaa
aidun nagam tuhaminqutbi
alilmakat hasal to her.
All of these legal maxims that I put
in the form of
lines of poetry.
Where did I take it from? I benefited
it from the books of the people of
knowledge.
And then he makes dua for them. May
Allah
grant them good.
May Allah forgive and pardon them. Right. The
poet he also says
If anyone benefits you with just one benefit,
then always be thankful.
Say, Fulanun Jazahullah
Sa'alihatan
Afadaniha
Wa Alakal Kibra Al Hasada.
So and so benefited me and get rid
of your kibr,
your arrogance and your hass. Sometimes it might
be a classmate that benefits you.
You would have to what, get rid of
your ego in order to be thankful Sahr
and that is tawadha.
And one thing that I really benefited from
the author of this book, this poem
Shirkaim al Bajid,
that he's extremely humble.
Imagine he's the teacher in the Prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam's masjid,
he's a teacher,
he taught the whole of Zadul Mustaqna in
the Haram.
Please brothers when you go home and sisters,
Google him and see how young the Sheikh
is, how young the Sheikh
is. And Allah granted him that and it's
not surprising that he became a teacher because
of how humble he is.
Never does an individual humble himself accept.
Allah will raise him, right?
When a Sheikh comes from Riyadh called Sheikh
Abdul Samishuayr,
you see him sitting in the front
side by side with the students taking down
the notes.
Allahu Alaihiem.
And he's reached the last
level that you could reach, like he's a
teacher in Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's masjid.
Does it get big in
a
nut? And he's still so humble. And sometimes
what happens is you learn a little bit,
right? And you begin to think that you
know when in reality you are still in
need of benefiting and we all are. That's
why we say from the cradle to the
grave.
Don't let it ever be a point where
the Shaitan whispers to
you, Allahaykhalas, I'll just, you know, I don't
need it.
I'm just gonna maybe listen to this class
online or whatever.
You don't attend the classes
out of arrogance, and not because you're busy,
but simply because of arrogance.
And that can easily creep in, and it's
something that a person who ascribe Sanat should
really fear for as Iblutaymiyyah mentioned.
Right? Many of those who ascribe to knowledge,
they become what?
Tested with kibr
and then they are deprived of knowledge.
Just like the people are who are devout
worshipers are tested with showing off.
May Allah, Azza wa Jal, honor every single
one of you guys.
I really appreciate you guys coming even though
it was short notice on a weekday
and attending in numbers.
May Allah honor every single one of you
and make this a means of understanding the
religion.
Ameen.
