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