Ali Hammuda – Enjoy Your Prayer #08 Going to The Mosque

			So you've done your will do.
		

			What next now? What next is choosing your clothing for Salah. What are you going to wear before you
stand before Allah SubhanAllah? What?
		

			What is your attire for Salah?
		

			And I asked this question because look at how we dress Alhamdulillah when there is an occasion with
a business meeting or an outing with friends or a meeting with your fiance, we don't need to tell
you dress well it just comes to you second nature, it's instinctive you know how you need to dress
for the occasion. Weddings. Nowadays even men are expected to come with two outfits in weddings. It
used to be just women now men are expected to come with two outfits as well as for women that are on
four or five six plus outfits for the night. This is well known.
		

			If you're going to
		

			I don't know employee gathering, a promotional meeting, an interview
		

			you dress to impress.
		

			What is interesting is that this very same individual A few hours later for Salah to the harasser
another aberration will stand before Allah Almighty looking like he is a caveman
		

			standing in the middle of his room as if he's auditioning for you know a part in Rambo wearing his
best Hercules mashallah
		

			fate inshallah his PJs, his leopard leopard print t shirt.
		

			Okay, you're always covered, your basics are covered, we know your Salah is accepted. But this is
not how you present yourself in front of the people you respect in your life, who is worthy, who is
worthy of this type of beautification and Marek
		

			and that is why Allah said yeah, you have nothing in common Will you believe Hulu's in ethical manga
khundii Masjid Ying Ying Coulee, Salah, take your adornments to every prayer your adornments take it
to every salah
		

			and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said either How do company elders How will they eat
for in Allah ha ha Conan to zucchini, Allah who, when one of you praise put on both of your
garments, because Allah is the worthiest of those who should be beautified for dressed up for both
of your garments. Because the Arabs used to wear two pieces. There was another garment called the
called the what
		

			the Tsar and then you had the upper garment called the
		

			The that he that that he that so? So an Arab who would wear both of those garments was trying his
best.
		

			So he said when you are praying put on both of your garments. So in our language today, we don't
wear this much. We are in a Yemeni mashallah, Masjid. So, it's still there, especially the lower
garment. But in most of the other countries, we don't wear that anymore. So in our language is
choose some fine clothes for your msgid Stew some fine clothes for your Santa.
		

			Because Allah is the word yes. So for those who should be beautified for
		

			and then by Hakuna writes that Abdullah him normally the companion, he saw his servant by the name
of Natha.
		

			He was praying with only his lower garment on and he had nothing on top * and bare chested.
So he waited until he finished his Salah and then he said to him, Can I Can I ask you a question?
		

			If I sent you to one of the areas of Medina to go and carry out a task for me, would you dress like
that? He said no. He said for Allah who are Haku and Utair, Gemma Allah who I mean yes. So who is
worthy to beautify yourself or Allah or the people? It was a lesson for naffaa Subhan Allah who
became one of the scholars and the teachers of of course, Imam Malik, as you know.
		

			So choose an attire that is befitting of your Salah doesn't have to be expensive, you don't have to
put on your fancy imam or you don't have to choose something that is respectful of the Salah.
		

			Without God you can know you have the Shah, your Allah He mean talk one kuruva said, those people
who honor the sanctified things of Allah, it's a sign of the piety of hearts sign of the piety of
heart. So for those who love Allah Jalla Jalla this should come instinctively to them. I don't need
to tell you will you don't need to tell me how we should dress when we meet someone we love or we
are attracted to.
		

			What then when you are praying before Allah has medic, the sovereign ljmu The beautiful the one whom
you love, the Lord who we have described in the last couple of weeks.
		

			So we've spoken about although and then we've spoken about getting dressed for sada we now speak
about making your way to the masjid.
		

			What happens when you make your
		

			Are way to them as you as you did today does Kamala hair?
		

			The short answer
		

			is that several things come into effect that would not have happened if you carried out your Salah
at home. That's the short answer, the longer answer is as follows. The first
		

			is that every second you spend outside of your house making your way to the masjid and returning,
you are in the state of solder Subhanallah
		

			and the evidence is that if no Jose man writes in his Soho new authority of Abdullah Hinomaru, on
your authority of Abu Hurayrah, that the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said either Tala
al.com fi ve t so Maharaja eland MSgt for who have your Salah Fela Yaqoob Hakka worship Becca unit
asabi
		

			He said when one of you purifies himself does will do at home. Whoever does will do wear at home,
have Rama on our Masjid toilet, whoever doesn't do at home, and then he makes his way to the masjid.
		

			He is in a state of Salah until he returned home.
		

			He said so none of you should interlock his fingers like this along the way. Interlocking of the
fingers is a form of apathy. It's a form of idle behavior that is not becoming of a Muslim who was
praying. It's not befitting for Salah to pop your fingers and to click them and to interlock them.
So he's saying don't just do that during your Salah, the moment you leave your house you are in
Salah till the moment you come back you are in Santa Subhanallah So how long is the experience from
the moment you left your your home for Southern Asia and then now you have an hour lecture May Allah
make things easy for you. And then you're gonna get back maybe another half an hour or so. It's a
		

			two hour endeavor every second of that you are in Salah when you go to your local Salah it takes you
45 minutes from the moment you leave till the moment you come home every one of those seconds you
are in Salah Allah is Karim Look at that. That doesn't happen if you just pray next to your bed at
home.
		

			This section of the lecture of course is primarily directed for our brothers and our sisters I will
say something in a moment. What else happens when you pray in the masjid?
		

			Every one of the footsteps you take to the house of Allah is documented for you if I asked you to go
out and to retrace your footsteps, every one of them you'd say I can't find them. They're gone.
Allah said in the neck to bamaca demo. We are the ones who write their deeds and we write their
traces as well. We right there traces the wind has blown away your footsteps but they are with Allah
		

			and that is why Muslim the rates on the authority of obey you have no cab he said cannot Junoon ma
la Mirage Hulan Amin al Masjid Amin who
		

			I knew a man who said who lived the furthest away from the mosque that any one of us
		

			and he wouldn't miss a single Salah Sahabi Fatah wa jal Tula who My heart ached for him so I said to
him Brother, why don't you invest in a donkey that can carry you during the dark hours of the night
and during the hot hours of Lahore?
		

			Get a ride? What did the man say?
		

			He said, Hey boy, Andaman. xili, Elijah and Bill Masjid. I don't wish that my house was near the
mosque. I don't wish that
		

			he said in the redo and yoke tab mm Shah either machinery to either mess ddwa Rudra he either Raja
to Isla Holly because I want Allah Almighty to write the reward of every step I make to the masjid
and I want the reward for every step back. And when the Prophet sallallahu Sallam heard this, he
said Kojima Allahu Delica Kula who Allah has gathered all of those intentions for him.
		

			All of the reward he wanted. It is for him in sha Allah. So number two, your footsteps are written
for you when you come to the masjid investment
		

			to give weight to those skills on your Mulkey.
		

			Now, number three, you are the guest of Allah Jalla Jalla yaki there are some invitations you don't
want to miss out on when a Yemeni invites you for example, for food. You don't want to miss out on
the invitation. Why? Because you and you are the guests of the Yemeni Yes. You better be prepared
for the guest of a Yanni not gonna mention any other nationality because the list is gonna get
endless.
		

			Imagine being the guest of Allah Allah Allah Allah, who can outdo him Subhana wa Tada
		

			and that is why he said in the authentic hadith sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		

			He said min Takahara fie Beatty. He
		

			so Maharajah Elon Musk God, for her was Ebola will happen
		

			northern Missouri and Ukri, Missouri. Whoever purifies himself in his house will do and then he
makes his way to the masjid. Then he is the guest of Allah and it is incumbent upon the visited to
honor the visitor.
		

			It is incumbent upon the visited meaning a lot to honor the visitor and that's you and I in sha
Allah. Number four, you have the reward of hydrogen. You have the reward of a high G of a pilgrim
who is in his haram when you come to the masjid to carry out a Salah.
		

			You don't get that by just praying at home.
		

			Mentor of the FE Beatty he Omaha Raja min Beatty he Matata here on Isla Salatin MACURA for Andrew
who will have Gillmore Hareem. Whoever purifies himself at home and makes his way to the masjid to
fulfill one of the obligatory salah. He will be given the reward of a hedge in the State of Iran, a
* a pilgrim who is in a state of Iran Loacker
		

			what else you have the multiplication of reward for those who pray in the masjid
		

			or obey the law he even Jamar al kawari is the name of one of the teachers of Imam Al Bukhari.
		

			And he said that once I had a guest who visited me and it was my habit, that I would never miss
Salah and I shot in the masjid. The guest visited me and I honored my guest and I attended to his
needs until we missed the time for Asia in the masjid. And this had never happened before he left
the home. So I left my house in a panic looking for any Masjid that is open in busulfan in Iraq,
trying to find a congregation to pray with and all of the masajid had closed shut.
		

			So I came home in a state of grief. And I said to myself,
		

			the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that praying in congregation is better than praying by
yourself by 21 times. And in one narration 25 times and in the third narration 27 times. So what did
he obey the law he ignored model kawari redo. He said I repeated Salah to Asia 27 times.
		

			He said then I fell asleep.
		

			And I saw a dream that we were on horses and we were racing and I was beating their head out on my
horse trying to catch up with the group and they were way ahead of me. I just couldn't catch up. And
then one of them turned around and he said to me to hit for a sec don't exhaust your horse. Let's do
it. Now you're not going to reach us I said why?
		

			He said because we praise Allah Tonatiuh in congregation you prayed it by yourself.
		

			Pray 27 times for you 270 times there is nothing wrong so to Gemini in the masjid.
		

			So I asked the question, what is it for a person who prays in the masjid the short answer? You get
things that you don't get at home and the longer answer, you heard those five, a hadith and more
just a sample. Now, as I promised a word of
		

			reassurance to our sisters, perhaps
		

			who perhaps struggle to pray in the masjid or feel that they don't have the opportunity as much as
their brothers, their fathers their sons have to pray in the house of ALLAH SubhanA Medina, we put
their hearts at risk at rest. And we say to them that the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
said, Let them now email Allah He masajid Allah, what will you do nothing.
		

			He said don't prevent women from the Masjid. don't prohibit women from coming to the masjid. But
then he said and their homes are better for them. And their homes are better for them. So for our
sister who is looking for reward, nobody can prevent her from coming to the masjid especially if she
is coming to the house of Allah subhanaw taala in a appropriate, upright, decent way in the hijab
that Allah Almighty has instructed. Our religion has not prohibited women from coming to the masjid.
This was one of the features of Benny era in the children of Israel. They were prohibited from
coming to their places of hybrida our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not prohibit them from
		

			coming to the masajid although our mother Aisha, she did say, after the death of our Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, that if the prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam saw what the
hijab of women become had become after he passed away, he would have prohibited them from coming to
the masjid she said that
		

			but nevertheless in principle, nobody can prohibit a woman in concept conceptually from coming to
the masjid. The hadith says that the home is better for them.
		

			So Allah has given you a station an opportunity that's not there for us men for for men who want
their agile they
		

			To be multiplied, they have to come to the masjid and fetch it. And for you, it is there ready for
the grabbing, ready for the taking from within the comfort of your own home.
		

			And that is why in the famous Hadith which Amma narrates on the authority of Omaha named the wife of
Abu Hamid in a ceremony, she came to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and she said, I love to
pray with you in the masjid. As you do never when your Salah is multiplied by how much
		

			1002 She said, I love to pray Salah with you in the masjid. He said other Alim too unlucky to have
been of Sadat, and I know that you love praying with me in the mystery. But listen, he said but the
Sunnah that you do in your room is more rewarding than the salah you do in your courtyard. And the
salah that you do in your courtyard is better than the salah you do in your house, and the salah
that you do in your house is better than the salah you do in your local masjid and the salah you do
in your local Masjid is better than not Salah in my Masjid.
		

			Saying that, the more you are aware away from this type of domain, the greater your reward. So Omaha
made she instructed that a small place of Salah is built for her in the most secluded part of her
home and she would pray that until the day she died.
		

			So this is a honey. Words of reassurance let me say words of words of reassurance is the word I'm
looking for for our sisters.
