And the theme is Maqruhaha Salaam. I'll cover
that for this week and probably next week
and then, yeah, you'll be closer to Rabi'a
Allahuwal and we'll talk a little bit more
about the prophet as
the scholars have always done. And I'll come
back to the book of the Quran and
I think
the importance of talking about the recommended actions
of Surah is important for the
safety of your acts of worship. At the
end, as a Muslim, what you're hoping for
is that your acts of worship are accepted.
Now this is a long topic so I'm
not gonna try and cover it in the
5 to 10 minute halter after Isha. But
I need you to think about this.
You never know. This is a I have
this at night. You never know if any
of your deeds are accepted in life.
You never know. You have no idea. You
cannot swear by one deed.
You can't. You can ever You will live
your life and turn back to Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala and up to the moment that
you stand in front of Allah alone, you
cannot swear that any of your deeds are
accepted. And if you can, then you don't
know it to be here. You don't need
to be in this room. You don't need
to be listening to me or anyone like
me at all. If you have some confirmation
that one of the deeds that you did
have been accepted by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
We ask Allah to accept all of our
deeds. Say what I mean. But you cannot.
You have no guarantee,
right? So how do we
make it more likely that our deeds are
gonna be accepted? We make sure that we
fill them with all the good stuff and
we remove all the bad stuff. Well, I'm
talking to you about some of the bad
stuff that you should remove. That make the
likelihood of the acceptance of your deeds come
down. That's why they called it Magruhat.
They don't invalidate your prayer. Your prayer is
still valid. But yeah, honey.
If you're someone who cares about acceptance of
deeds, which you should because you don't know
if any of them are and that I
thought itself should keep you up at night.
If it's not, then you haven't really thought
about it properly, Then you should get rid
of all of the unrecommended action, which is
why I wanna share them with you. We
talked about a couple. We talked about yawning.
We talked about yawning. Wandering with your eyes.
What he talks about today is a little
bit different. It was the Jabbalah and says,
The prophet came, turned towards us and spoke
to us after Surafa Qala.
Why is it I look at you in
salah and I feel
that you're
he gives it a simile here alihisato to
a sentence a little bit.
Khayil shumuz. Khayil is horses. Shumuz is when
the horse is happy.
Why is it that I look at your
arms during salah? It seems to me that
they look like
the tails of happy horses
like all over the place.
The Prophet said, Why is it that everyone's
moving around?
Calm down during your salah. Now this is
a topic that you should definitely study a
fiqh course to understand properly. What invalidates your
prayer and what doesn't? I don't want to
get into the technicalities here because it'll take
a very long time. But what I do
want you to know is that there's a
difference in salah between doing something that is
purposeful
versus doing something that is not purposeful because
I don't want you to misunderstand me. If
you're standing in salah and you have an
itch that is just literally driving you crazy,
you can't listen to the imam, you can't
focus, then scratch it, Yaqi. Go ahead and
scratch your itch. It's not a problem. If
something is bothering you in terms of your
aniba, you need to move it, go ahead.
But it's the concept of moving unnecessarily.
Money movement. You're standing there, you scratch your
lihi a little bit, you fix your hat
a little bit, you figure you make sure
your keys are there, you put your This
is something
that is very unrecommended in surah. And if
you do too many of them by the
way, your surah will be invalid. Now, when
it comes to the numbers and how many
and how quick and what that that's a
technical fiqhih topic that I don't want to
bore you with right now. But just be
careful.
Sayyid Musayib radiAllahu anhu, one of the known
taibiyain, he walked by a person who was
doing exactly that. He was moving around.
Indeed, this person, if their heart had kushua
then
their organs would have had kushua as well.
This person is just too distracted that's why
they're moving around. So just
listen to the best of your ability the
unnecessary movements in your salah. Lessen them in
terms Especially with
your hands.
Scratching and changing and adjusting and putting what
does not, what is not, what is necessary
when you are in pain or something is
bothering you or something
is bothers you to the point where you
can't focus on your thought, then go ahead
and adjust that. That's fine. You should because
you shouldn't spend your prayer. Yeah. You focused
on something that you can adjust. But outside
of what you absolutely need,
like you're praying, I'll take off my glasses
maybe, put them down, take off my phone,
put it down. This is all unnecessary movements.
Salah is
exalted beyond doing stuff like that. You're standing
in Allah Subhanahu Wa'ala's presence. You're in the
presence of Allah. The reason that Quran is
important is because you're in the presence of
the Almighty Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. You're standing in
front of Allah Jallajallullah.
This is who you're standing in front of.
So everything
that
describes your demeanor
should
be aligned with whom you're in the presence
of. If you're in the presence of a
human being, then it's much more
loose. You can make But you're standing in
front of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala the almighty,
then then make sure that's apparent. That's apparent
in the way that you're standing and where
your eyes are and how you know
and what you're doing with what you're saying,
what you're thinking, like all of these things.
And and definitely
a lot of movements with your arms and
with your legs and with your shoulders and
you lessen that to the best of your
ability. The prophet alaihi wasallam returned
