00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			Leaving of your salat and
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:05
			fasting as well.
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			I know a lot of the Muslims are
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			going to be fasting.
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			However, which one is more
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			important in the eyes of Allah azza wa
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			jal, in the sight of Allah azza wa
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			jal, fasting or salah?
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			Salah without a shadow of a doubt,
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:25
			by unanimous agreement. There's no doubt about it.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			There are a group of scholars
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			that believe
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			and hold
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			that if Mohammed doesn't pray,
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			he's no different to Michael and Mark.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44
			He's no different to Michael and Mark.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			For us
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			elders, right? If Michael walks through the door
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			and he asks for our daughter's hand in
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			marriage, would we give it to Michael?
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:56
			Would we allow Michael and Mark and John,
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			and Steve or Stevie,
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			To marry our daughters?
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			Why? Because they're non Muslims.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			Has everyone heard of Alima Muhammed?
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:17
			And many of the scholars who came after
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			him as well. They held the view that
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			if you don't pray,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			you are no different to Michael, John and
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			Stevie,
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			meaning you're not a Muslim.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			Where did they get this from? Did they
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			just bring it out of their own back
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			pockets?
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			Khayla Nabi Yusala radiya wasalam, prophet
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:36
			said,
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			The difference between us and them. Who's them?
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			The agnostic, the atheist,
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			the Hindu, the Hindu, the Buddhist.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			A difference between us and them is a
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			salah.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			You know how you need to utter the
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:55
			shahada
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			to come into Alistan.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			Many scholars, they say the bare minimum you
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			also have to come with in order to
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:05
			remain.
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			Someone with faith is a salah.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:12
			Whoever leaves on the salah, this person has
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			become a disbeliever.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			I didn't say that the prophet salallahu alayhi
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:16
			wa sallada.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			There is also another hadith.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			That which is between shirk and also kufr.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			This belief is what? Leaving on the salah.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			It's not a light matter.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			The companions, if they saw someone not wearing
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			hijab,
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			they said, oh, maybe she's new to Islam.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			They had excuse for her.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39
			And they said somebody not fasting, oh, maybe
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:39
			he's
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:40
			ill.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			Maybe he's a traveler.
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			If they said someone not going Hajj or
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			maybe he doesn't have the financial ability.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			They had good thoughts of them. They had
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			made excuses for them. They gave them the
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			benefit of the doubt.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			However, when it came to the salah, as
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:57
			Abdullah
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			said,
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			They never used to see an action that
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05
			was abandoned to be kufr,
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			disbelief other than salah.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:11
			They made no excuse for that person because
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			whoever can't pray standing up you have to
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			pray
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			sitting down. You can't pray sitting down you
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			have to pray
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			lying down.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			You are never excused from your salah.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:23
			So now,
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			by the way, I'm not giving a specific
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:26
			answer
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			with regards to that. Brahma. I don't know
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:29
			that Brahma.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			Right? Generally,
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			is
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:38
			that if one is not praying according to
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			what I just mentioned then
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			his song wouldn't be valid.
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			He's just tiring himself.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			He would need to start taking a salah
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:47
			more seriously
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			if he's not praying.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			Okay. And he does it habitually
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			on a regular basis, leaves off his salah.
