And this is why the people who dedicated themselves to worship,

00:00:03 --> 00:00:09

they would often do so in a very small space that was dimly lit.

00:00:11 --> 00:00:14

And if you've ever visited the khalwa places of many of the

00:00:14 --> 00:00:18

slalom in many Muslim countries, you can find places where great

00:00:18 --> 00:00:24

ulama and great Saladin would engage in a bad and they're

00:00:24 --> 00:00:27

usually very tight. They don't have all these windows and all

00:00:27 --> 00:00:30

these things coming in, they're usually or if there is a window,

00:00:30 --> 00:00:34

it's kind of covered with a, you know, like a wooden covering or

00:00:34 --> 00:00:37

something, just to get a little bit of light in. And they're not

00:00:37 --> 00:00:40

distracted by anything. Of the world's very simple, and it's

00:00:40 --> 00:00:44

almost kind of, you know, cramp. And how many people would actually

00:00:44 --> 00:00:48

go and read Quran? And, you know, we hear of the Saladin who would

00:00:48 --> 00:00:52

dig their own grave and read do khatuns of Quran in their graves?

00:00:53 --> 00:00:58

Why? Because it helps you have presence of heart. This is, this

00:00:58 --> 00:01:01

is, I'm not distracted by anything in the world in a place like this,

00:01:01 --> 00:01:07

or in a moment like this now. So you found that many people in this

00:01:07 --> 00:01:11

ummah of the great salihin, they would engage in their Ibadah in a

00:01:11 --> 00:01:16

very small and dimly lit place that was only big enough for them

00:01:16 --> 00:01:21

to actually engage in sudo, Leah, Kuna, Danika, ejmad, in him. So

00:01:21 --> 00:01:26

because that place helped actually collect all of their focus and

00:01:26 --> 00:01:31

remain focused and determined to only be present in the prayer

00:01:32 --> 00:01:38

while aqu ya Minh hum and those who were had a strength and a

00:01:38 --> 00:01:43

great ability, Janu yadurun al masjid, WA ya Rabun al Basar. Even

00:01:43 --> 00:01:47

when they would attend the prayer in the masjid, they would still

00:01:47 --> 00:01:50

keep their sight in the place of their sujood. They wouldn't look

00:01:50 --> 00:01:55

around, even those who had a certain level of experience and

00:01:56 --> 00:01:59

steadfastness in their ibad. Even then to be care, they would be

00:01:59 --> 00:02:00

careful.
