Adnan Rajeh – Performing Dawah – Outreach #15

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
