Ammar Alshukry – Importance of Adornment To Elevate Your Prayer

			not praying while needing the bathroom. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam he says that a person should
not pray if you held off a thumb, if you held it all the time, well, I will hook you up button. And
while the two basically what they need to use the restaurant
		

			that a person does not use the that a person does not pray while they're in need of relieving
themselves while in need of relieving themselves. A lot of people have the opposite instinct. And
that is when they feel like Oh, I'm going to lose my old due soon or I need to use the bathroom. Let
me go ahead and take advantage of this will do and let me go pray whatever this prayer is the horror
or whatever issue if I did or what have you. But that prayer is not going to be a good quality
prayer for persons needs to use to relieve themselves then what kind of focus are they going to
have? So the problem is a little light SLM is telling us that no, you go relieve yourself, remove
		

			your renew your will do and then come and pray a prayer that is undistracted that's the name of the
game. That's the goal is to pray a prayer that is undistracted so our first item is to not pray
wandering to relieve yourself. Number two, the second is to beautify yourself
		

			to beautify yourself wearing beautiful clothes. Allah subhanaw taala says yeah, Bunny Adam, hello,
Xena TOCOM and the coolie masjid, oh, Children of Adam and salt, a lot of chapter or salt, a lot of
verse 31. Allah says, Oh Children of Adam, adorn yourself in every place of prayer. And so, you
know, I know of
		

			God told us of this, this one lady who memorize the Quran as in her later on in her life in her 50s
or 60s. And when her children are asked how, what's the what's the secret or what tips does she have
or what have you and her children have basically said that she has such a beautiful relationship
with Salah she has such a beautiful relationship with her a bother her worship in general. She has a
prayer place that she's always keeping perfumed, she has her a garment that she keeps for Salah that
she always keeps just for Salah. And she's, you know, irons, it makes sure that it's nice when and
always in its most beautiful form, always taking care of it always clean, making sure that it's
		

			clean, so that when she dawns it for her Salah that she feels fresh, comfortable, beautiful. And for
some of us our the way that we look affects the way that we feel. Some people I had a manager once
who
		

			told me he said
		

			that when he was feeling his worst, he wasn't Muslim, but he was just telling me it's like this is
just a personality thing. He said when he was feeling his worst he would go and he would put on his
best suit before coming to work. And it just made him feel so much better. And so there are some
people who their their, the way that they look is connected to how they feel. And so if a person
beautifies themselves, before entering into the Salah, it might be a better experience for them and
even adorning perfume as well. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam loved perfu and there are some pairs
where the province of the licen I'm told us to do and perfume specifically the Juma prayer. The
		

			province of the lady said Allah mentions the etiquettes of of the Juma prayers that a person goes a
man goes darling their perfume with women
		

			they're not allowed to wear perfume that travels beyond themselves outside so
		

			you know something where
		

			the entire radius around her smells her scent for example, but is she allowed to wear that which is
like body spray? Obviously deodorant things you know shampoo that's fragrant and all of that type of
stuff. Yes. If it's something that a person would not be able to smell, except if they came into her
personal space, then that is something that she would be allowed to wear. But again, it's not
supposed to transcend beyond her with regards to men but
		

			at home I mean she can wear whatever she wants, she's praying at home she can she can be as fragrant
as she likes as fragrant as makes her happy inshallah Tada. So these are all things that a person
can experiment with, for their prayer.
