			As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim, alhamdulillahi rabbil alameen,
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			wassalatu wassalamu ala ashraf al-anbiyai wal-mursaleen,
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			abina muhammadin wa ala alihi wa sahbihi ajma
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:12
			'een.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:18
			Insha'Allah we're going to be continuing with
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			the fiqh of salah.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			And last week we spoke about the conditions
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:28
			of salah, and we mentioned things which must
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			be done prior to the salah.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:32
			And we said that the word condition, or
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			sharrat, refers to things which must be done
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			before the salah.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39
			So when we speak about conditions of prayer,
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			they are always things which have to be
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			done prior to the salah.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			And we spoke about the different conditions of
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			salah facing the qibla, a person being in
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			a purified state.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53
			And there were questions also at the end,
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:57
			speaking about purification of the body, purification of
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:57
			the clothes.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:00
			And if a person is in a state
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			where he has impurity on his clothes from
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			himself after he has gone to the bathroom,
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			then that must be removed from his clothes,
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			from his body, and from the place where
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			he may be praying, prior to him actually
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:14
			beginning the salah.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:19
			And there was a question regarding impurities from
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:19
			an animal.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			Can he pray if there are impurities from
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:22
			an animal?
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
			If he is able to, then he should
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28
			try to pray in clean clothes, because this
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			is the command of Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:31
			'ala.
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:35
			خُذُوا زِينَتَكُمْ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ Allah says, wear
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38
			your adornments or adorn yourselves when you go
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			to the masjid, meaning when you pray.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			So a person should be in a clean
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:41
			state.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:44
			If, however, there are some impurities, then in
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			some cases he can pray, in some cases
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			he can't pray, depending on the kind of
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			animal that the impurity came from.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			So if the impurity was from an animal
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			which is halal for a person to eat,
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			then he can pray in those clothes, if
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:56
			he has to.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			If the impurity is from an animal which
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			is haram for him to eat, then he
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			can't pray in those clothes.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			So, just so you know, inshallah, with regards
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			to purification.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:20
			So we spoke about the dog saliva when
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			we spoke about purification and wudu and things
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:26
			which are considered impure.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30
			And whatever comes out of the private parts
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			of an animal is considered impure if it's
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			an animal that is haram for you to
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:34
			eat.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			As for the saliva of a dog, it's
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			not considered impure in and of itself.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42
			So if it licks your vessel, then you
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			have to clean the vessel seven times, one
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			time with soil.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:49
			That's the narration of the Prophet ﷺ, just
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			for the vessel.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			So inshallah, today we're going to be speaking
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58
			about some of the other aspects of the
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			salah.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			And we'll be speaking about the pillars of
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:07
			salah and the obligatory parts of the salah
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:11
			and the sunan, the recommended parts of the
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:11
			salah.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			So inshallah, we're not going to be going
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:17
			through the salah from beginning to end, going
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			through a description of the salah and what's
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			going to be done from the beginning all
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:26
			the way to the end, mentioning every single
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29
			thing, because that's a separate chapter, that'll be
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:29
			next week.
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:32
			But we speak about the description of the
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			salah, sifat al salah, the description of the
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			prayer.
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			In this lesson, what we are going to
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:40
			do is try to understand, first of all,
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:44
			what a pillar is, what an obligation of
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			the salah is, and what a sunnah of
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			the salah is, and what the difference is
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			between these things.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:53
			And then once we've understood those, understanding what
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			is a rukun, which parts of the prayer
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:59
			are pillars, which parts of the prayer are
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			obligatory parts, and which parts of the prayer
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			are sunnahs, because each of them have their
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			own rulings.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08
			So if a person misses a pillar, it's
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09
			not the same as a person missing an
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			obligation of the salah.
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			If a person misses a sunnah of the
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			salah, it's not the same as him missing
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:15
			an obligation of the salah.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:18
			There's a difference with regards to the rulings.
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19
			So we're going to go through all of
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:23
			these things, and then after we understand the
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			pillars, obligatory acts, and also the sunnah of
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			the salah, then we'll have an idea of
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			whether or not the prayer may have to
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:31
			be repeated, whether or not the prayer is
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:35
			valid, whether it's accepted, whether or not we've
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:38
			achieved the complete salah, or as complete as
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:41
			we're able to, whether a person can maximize
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			and increase their reward by doing some of
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			the sunnah, etc.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:47
			So inshallah, we're going to be beginning with
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:50
			the arkan, the pillars of the salah.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:54
			A pillar, scholars have given lots of definitions
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:57
			with regards to what a pillar is, when
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			it comes to salah and other acts of
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			worship.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:06
			The pillar is basically an essential part of
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			an act of worship.
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			An essential part of an act of worship.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:14
			It's an essential part, it's an important part
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			of the act of worship.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			To the extent where if it's not done,
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:23
			the salah, in this case, is not valid.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			The salah is not valid.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			And it's different to something which is wajib,
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:29
			which we'll get to.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:35
			So in regards to the arkan, the pillar,
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39
			it's something which is an essential part of
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:40
			an act of worship.
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			In our case, it's an essential part of
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:43
			the salah.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:47
			Think about it, for example, in comparison to
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48
			the pillars of Islam.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:52
			If a person doesn't pray intentionally, he's missed
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			out a pillar of Islam which takes him
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			outside the fold of Islam.
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58
			If a person, let's say, forgets to pray.
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			Let's say, for example, a few days went
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			by and he forgot to pray.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			For example, he has to make up those
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:04
			prayers.
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:07
			Just because he forgot doesn't mean now those
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09
			prayers are like ignored and it's fine, it
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
			just carries on.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			Likewise, when it comes to the pillars of
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:18
			the salah, if they're missed, either intentionally or
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:23
			accidentally, the prayer is null and void, it
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:23
			doesn't count anymore.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			Because he's missed a rukn, a pillar of
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:27
			the salah.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:31
			So pillars of the salah are things which
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			if they are missed or if they're omitted,
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:37
			whether accidentally or whether intentionally, basically the salah
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:38
			is not valid anymore.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			This is how essential a pillar is.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			So the pillars of Islam, you miss Ramadan,
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:47
			for example, you miss hajj, you miss some
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:50
			of the requirements of the specific acts of
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:53
			worship, then there is no salah, there is
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:54
			no hajj, there is no fasting.
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			For example, ihram, being in a state of
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:00
			ihram is an obligation during hajj.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			So you have to be able to be
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			in a state of ihram.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:05
			And if you go to Arafah and you're
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:07
			wearing your trousers and your t-shirt and
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			you start making dua and everyone else is
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:13
			in ihram because you forget, for example, which
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			is very unlikely, but in that situation there
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:18
			is no hajj, he's not in hajj.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			He's not performing hajj because he hasn't fulfilled
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:23
			the pillars of hajj itself.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			Whether it was intentional or accidental, there is
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:26
			no hajj.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:28
			So he has to repeat the hajj because
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			that hajj doesn't count for him if it
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			was his first time doing that hajj.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33
			So he hasn't fulfilled that obligation.
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			So a rukn is something which is an
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			essential part of an act of worship.
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:41
			So what's the difference between a rukn and
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:41
			a condition?
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:43
			Do you have to fulfill all the conditions
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			of salah, for example?
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			Do you have to fulfill all the pillars
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:48
			of salah?
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			So what's the difference?
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			What's the difference between a condition and a
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:56
			pillar?
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			I just mentioned it a few minutes ago.
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			Difference between a condition and a pillar.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:09
			I mentioned it last week.
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:12
			Very good.
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:15
			Condition is something you have to do before
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			the act of worship.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			A condition is something you have to do
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			before the act of worship.
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:22
			Somebody wants to borrow your car.
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:24
			You say, I'll borrow you my car on
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			one condition.
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:27
			It's before.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:29
			Can I borrow £100?
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:30
			I'll give you £150.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:34
			On the condition that you pay it back
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:35
			after a week, for example.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			So you haven't given your car, you haven't
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:42
			given any money until they accept or fulfill
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			or agree to accept the condition.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:47
			Then you can give whatever they've asked for.
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:51
			So salah, a condition has to be fulfilled
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53
			before the salah itself.
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:57
			A ruqn is something which is part of
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:58
			the salah.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			It's something which is in the salah.
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			It's things which are taking place in the
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:04
			salah itself.
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:08
			So that's the difference between a condition of
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			salah and a pillar of salah.
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			So we have pillars of salah.
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:15
			We've established what a condition is.
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			We know what a pillar is now, an
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:18
			essential part of an act of worship.
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:23
			If it's missed out intentionally or accidentally because
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:27
			he forgot, regardless of which circumstance he may
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:31
			have omitted it, intentionally or by accident, the
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:34
			act of worship is not valid anymore.
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36
			In this case, the salah is not valid
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:36
			anymore.
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:40
			If he did it intentionally, he is sinful.
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:42
			He has to repeat the salah.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			If he forgets, he's not sinful, but he
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			has to repeat the salah.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			So it's the same in the sense that
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:51
			the salah itself and its validity doesn't count
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:52
			in both circumstances.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:54
			Then you have something which is wajib.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:59
			So a pillar is something which cannot be
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:01
			missed, whether intentionally or accidentally.
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:11
			Something which is wajib cannot be missed intentionally.
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:15
			If it's missed intentionally, there is no salah.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:20
			And if it's missed accidentally, then he has
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			to perform at the end of the salah,
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:26
			sujud-us-sahu, which is the prostration of
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			forgetfulness.
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29
			If he forgets, that's why it's called sujud
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:31
			-us-sahu, the prostration of forgetfulness.
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			So with regards to the wajibat of salah,
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:38
			the obligatory acts of the salah, if they're
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:41
			intentionally left out, then there is no salah
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			for this person.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			And if the person accidentally left them out
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:48
			because he forgot, then in this case he
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:51
			continues the salah, but he makes up for
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53
			it by performing sujud-us-sahu.
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:56
			So the difference between a rukun and a
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:59
			wajib, a rukun, it doesn't matter if you
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:02
			miss it out intentionally or accidentally, there is
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:03
			no salah.
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:06
			And an obligatory act of the salah, if
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:10
			you miss it intentionally, the salah has to
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:10
			be repeated.
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:13
			If you miss it accidentally, you can continue
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			the salah, but you have to perform sujud
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:18
			-us-sahu before a person finishes the salah
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:20
			or after, depending on the situation.
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			Inshallah, sujud-us-sahu we'll talk about later.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			Sujud-us-sahu is one of those subjects
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:28
			which requires some depth and it can be
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:31
			a bit complicated if it's not understood properly.
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:35
			So those are the arkan and as we
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:36
			said, the wajibat.
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:41
			If a person misses them intentionally, the salah
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:41
			is invalid.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:44
			If he misses them accidentally or as a
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46
			result of him forgetting, then he can perform
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:47
			sujud-us-sahu.
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:48
			There is no need for him to repeat
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:49
			the salah after this.
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51
			So what is a sunnah?
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:55
			What are the sunnah of salah?
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:56
			What does a sunnah of salah mean?
		
00:11:56 --> 00:12:03
			If a person intentionally or unintentionally, because he
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:06
			forgot, misses a sunnah, a recommended part of
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:09
			the salah, the salah is not invalid.
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:13
			The salah is not invalid if he misses
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:16
			a sunnah act of the salah itself.
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:21
			However, it does reduce something.
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:23
			What does it reduce?
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:30
			It reduces the value, the beauty, the complete
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:34
			nature of the salah and also reduces the
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:35
			reward of the salah.
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:39
			So as we'll see inshallah when we speak
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:41
			about the recommended acts and the sunnah of
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			salah, some of these things we are doing
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:43
			anyway.
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:46
			And in fact we do them so often,
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:49
			all the time, that for many of us,
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51
			the sunnah, if we don't do some of
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:52
			them, it wouldn't feel right.
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:55
			Because we're so used to doing these things.
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:59
			So it's from Islam for a person to
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:00
			try to excel when it comes to his
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:04
			acts of worship, especially things such as the
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:05
			salah, which is very important, it's something we're
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:07
			doing on a regular basis, and it has
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:11
			its status and its station in Islam.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:13
			So a sunnah is something which is recommended
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:14
			for a person to do.
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			If he misses it, either intentionally or accidentally,
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:20
			it does not break the salah, the salah
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:21
			is still valid.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			So you have ruqan, which is the most
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:26
			important, you could say, when it comes to
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:27
			the validity of the salah.
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:31
			Either way, it's invalid if it's done intentionally
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:32
			or unintentionally.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:36
			The wajibat, if it's done intentionally, the salah
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:36
			is invalid.
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:39
			If it's done unintentionally, as a result of
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:41
			him forgetting, he has to perform sujood sahoo.
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:44
			And something which is a sunnah, if it's
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:48
			forgotten or left out intentionally, there is no
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:50
			requirement, the salah is still valid.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			The salah is still valid, it's not considered
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:53
			invalid.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:57
			So let's move on to the pillars now.
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59
			What are the pillars of the salah?
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01
			There are 12 pillars of salah, 12 pillars
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:02
			of salah in total.
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:07
			The first pillar is standing up for the
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09
			obligatory prayers.
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:13
			Standing up for the obligatory prayers.
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, وَقُومُوا لِلَّهِ
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:21
			قَانِتِينَ Stand up in your salahs observant, and
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:23
			when you are worshipping Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:23
			'ala.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:28
			وَقُومُوا لِلَّهِ قَانِتِينَ So it's something which is
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:31
			an obligation, it's a pillar from the pillars
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			of the salah.
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:33
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said,
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:37
			صَلِّ قَائِمًا He said, pray standing.
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:41
			فَإِن لَّمْ تَسْتَطِي If you are not able
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:43
			to, then pray sitting.
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:48
			So the pillar is to stand in the
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:49
			obligatory prayers.
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:53
			If a person is unable to stand, then
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:54
			he can sit.
		
00:14:55 --> 00:15:00
			Otherwise, he should be standing in the salah
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03
			for the obligatory prayers, for the five daily
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:03
			prayers.
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			With the only exception being if he is
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:07
			unable to.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09
			If he's unable to stand in the obligatory
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:13
			prayers, then it's permitted for him to sit
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:14
			down.
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:18
			Because of an illness, because he's got some
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:19
			kind of injury, or whatever the case may
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:20
			be.
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:22
			So in those kinds of circumstances, in those
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:24
			situations, it would be permissible for him to
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:24
			sit.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26
			But otherwise, if he's healthy and he can
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:30
			stand, and he decides not to, because maybe
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:32
			he's had a long day, he's feeling a
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:34
			bit tired, or he just feels like sitting
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:38
			for whatever reason, not because of any pain
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:40
			or anything like this, or because he's unable
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			to stand, then his salah wouldn't be valid.
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45
			So he has to be standing, with the
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			exception of a person who is unable to
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:47
			stand.
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:50
			Of course, then he is permitted to sit
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:51
			down.
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:55
			With regards to the optional prayers, the nawafil
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:58
			prayers, the other salawat outside of the five
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:01
			obligatory prayers, it is permitted for him to
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:04
			stand, and it's also permitted for him to
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:04
			sit.
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:08
			However, the reward is halved when he sits
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			and prays, as opposed to when he stands
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:11
			and prays.
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:13
			So for example, at home, a person who
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:17
			wants to pray, nawafil prayers, optional prayers, increase
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:20
			his reward, and for whatever reason, he wants
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:22
			to relax, he wants to sit down, he's
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:25
			feeling tired, so he sits down and prays
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:30
			two sunnahs, two nafil salawat, two rakahs.
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:33
			He's rewarded, but the reward won't be the
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:35
			same as if he was to pray standing
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:36
			up.
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:37
			The prayer would be accepted.
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:40
			It wouldn't be wrong for a person to
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:44
			do this in the nawafil salawat, but it
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:45
			would be an issue if he had decided
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:47
			to do this in the obligatory prayers with
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:49
			no reason whatsoever.
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52
			So the only exception is if he's not
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:55
			well, if he's ill, if he isn't physically
		
00:16:55 --> 00:17:00
			capable of standing up, then he should sit
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:01
			down, he can sit down.
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:04
			With the nawafil prayers, then the person is
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:06
			able to choose.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:07
			However, the reward isn't the same.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:10
			If he sits down in the nawafil prayers,
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:13
			the reward is halved as per the sunnah
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:14
			of the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:16
			So that's the first pillar of the pillars
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:17
			of salah.
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:20
			The second pillar is takbeerat al-ihram.
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:27
			Takbeerat al-ihram is the first takbeer that
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:29
			a person begins the salah with.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:33
			The first takbeer, the statement Allahu Akbar, when
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:36
			he begins the salah, this is a pillar
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:37
			from the pillars of Islam.
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			He has to make takbeerat al-ihram.
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:44
			So this takbeer for beginning the salah is
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:46
			a pillar from the pillars of Islam.
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:50
			And why is it called takbeerat al-ihram?
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:52
			What does ihram mean?
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:53
			Where does the word ihram come from?
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:03
			Okay, good.
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:07
			So anything which may have been permissible before
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:11
			salah now becomes impermissible in the salah.
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:13
			The word ihram comes from the word haram.
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:16
			Something which is not permitted for you to
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:16
			do.
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:19
			Like when you are going for hajj or
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:21
			umrah and you're in a state of ihram.
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:24
			Because certain things are haram for you to
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:24
			do.
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:27
			Relations with your spouse, applying perfume, cutting your
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:28
			hair, etc.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:31
			So takbeerat al-ihram, you're in a state
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:34
			where certain things are now forbidden for you
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:35
			to do.
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:39
			Speaking outside of the salah, moving around, those
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:39
			kinds of things.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42
			So the second pillar of Islam, or second
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:44
			pillar of salah, is takbeerat al-ihram.
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:47
			The first takbeer that a person makes and
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:49
			it has to be that specific statement.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:50
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:54
			If somebody said, for example, Subhanallah, at the
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:55
			beginning of salah.
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:58
			Is this salah valid?
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01
			No, it has to be Allahu Akbar.
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:02
			What if he said, Allahu ta'ala Akbar?
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:05
			Again, it wouldn't be permissible.
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08
			Because what has been narrated from the Prophet
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:11
			ﷺ is that he would say, Allahu Akbar.
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:17
			And the Prophet ﷺ, he said, pray as
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:18
			you have seen me praying.
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			So, the way the Prophet ﷺ used to
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:23
			pray, the things he used to say, the
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:24
			things he used to do in the salah,
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:28
			this is exactly how we pray, imitating and
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:31
			copying the greatest of creation, the Messenger of
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:31
			Allah ﷺ.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:35
			The third pillar of salah is qira'at
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:38
			al-fatiha, reciting surah al-fatiha.
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:41
			Reciting surah al-fatiha in every single rak
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:42
			'ah.
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:46
			The Prophet ﷺ, he said, la salata liman
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			lam yaqra' bi fatihatil kitab.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51
			There is no salah for the one who
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:53
			does not recite the opening chapter of the
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:54
			book, meaning surah al-fatiha.
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:58
			So this must be recited in every single
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:01
			rak'ah of a person's salah, whether it's
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:03
			a fard salah or whether it's an optional
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:03
			salah.
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:06
			It's something which has to be recited.
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:11
			And, if, for example, a person is praying
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:13
			by himself, it has to be recited.
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:17
			If you're praying in congregation and it's a
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:20
			silent prayer, you recite surah al-fatiha.
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:22
			If you're praying in a loud prayer and
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:25
			the imam is reciting surah al-fatiha, what
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:26
			do you do in this situation?
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28
			Scholars differ with regards to what happens.
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:31
			Does the imam take the position of reciting
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33
			surah al-fatiha for those who are behind
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:33
			him?
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:35
			Do you still have to recite surah al
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:35
			-fatiha?
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:37
			There's an empty khilaf amongst scholars.
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:41
			But if a person is able to recite
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:44
			surah al-fatiha after the imam has recited
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:46
			surah al-fatiha and before he carries on
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:49
			reciting another surah, then that's best, if he
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:50
			can do that.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:53
			So, for example, our sheikh, when he recites
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:56
			surah al-fatiha, he leaves a small gap.
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:58
			And in that gap, you can recite surah
		
00:20:58 --> 00:20:59
			al-fatiha if you're able to.
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:01
			If you're not able to recite the whole
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:03
			of surah al-fatiha, are you accountable?
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:05
			Are you going to be accountable for not
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:06
			being able to recite it?
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:08
			You're not going to be accountable because it's
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:09
			out of your control.
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			So, you recite as much as you can.
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:13
			If the imam carries on reciting and goes
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:15
			on to the next surah, if there's no
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:16
			gap, if the imam just says surah al
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:18
			-fatiha and just carries on with another surah
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:22
			after five seconds or a few seconds, again,
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:26
			that's something which he's not required to do.
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:28
			And, you did your best, you try as
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:30
			much as you can to recite the surah,
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32
			and if you can't recite the surah and
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:34
			the imam recites the next surah after fatiha,
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:36
			then you just stay quiet and you listen
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:37
			to the recitation.
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:39
			Because you're not supposed to be reciting while
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:41
			the imam is reciting, by the way.
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:44
			So, that's where the issue comes.
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:47
			Because if you're reciting while the imam is
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:50
			reciting, then it's contrary to the instructions of
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:51
			Allah in the Quran, that when the Quran
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:56
			is recited, وَإِذَا قُرِئَ لَقُرْآنُ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ then
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:59
			listen to it, وَأَنْسِتُوا and remain silent, لَعَلَّكُمْ
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:01
			تُرْحَمُونَ so that you can be shown mercy.
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:02
			That's the issue.
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			So, try reciting the surah after the imam
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			recites it, fatiha, and if you're not able
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09
			to, inshallah, you've tried your best.
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11
			Allah says, فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَمَسْتَعْطُونَ Fear Allah as
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:12
			much as you can, and then you just
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:13
			listen to the imam.
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:14
			If you're able to recite it, alhamdulillah, if
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:16
			you're not able to, then you're not going
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:17
			to be accountable because you've tried your best.
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:19
			So, that's with regards to fatiha.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			Otherwise, if a person is praying by himself,
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:24
			if a person is praying a nafil salah,
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:26
			or it's an obligatory salah, and he's by
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:29
			himself, he has to recite surah fatiha.
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:30
			It's a pillar from the pillars of salah.
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:34
			If after the salah he realized, hang on,
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:35
			my third and fourth rakah, I forgot to
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:39
			recite fatiha, then he has to repeat the
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:39
			salah.
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:41
			Because this is what a pillar is.
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:44
			You need to remember, a pillar is something
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:45
			which has to be fulfilled.
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:47
			It's an essential part.
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:49
			Meaning it has to be fulfilled.
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:52
			Either way, intentionally you miss it out, you're
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:56
			sinful, if it wasn't intentional, then the salah's
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:57
			invalid.
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			You have to repeat the salah then, if
		
00:22:59 --> 00:22:59
			you remember it afterwards.
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:03
			The fourth pillar from the pillars of salah
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:05
			is the ruku.
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:08
			Being in the ruku position.
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:10
			Making the ruku.
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:14
			So once you recite fatiha and another surah,
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:17
			you go into ruku, that position is a
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:19
			pillar from the pillars of the salah.
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:27
			Allah says, O you who believe, perform ruku
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:28
			and perform sujud.
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:34
			So ruku is a required, essential pillar from
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:35
			the pillars of the salah.
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:45
			And number five is which means standing upright
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:47
			after you've performed ruku.
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:51
			So the position of standing back up again.
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:53
			Standing back up again, upright.
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:57
			In the upright position after a person has
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:59
			performed ruku is the fifth pillar from the
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:01
			pillars of the salah.
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:05
			And the Prophet in the famous hadith when
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:06
			he was telling the companion about how to
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:12
			pray, he said, Then get back up after
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:15
			ruku until you are standing upright.
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:17
			Until you are standing up straight again.
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:20
			Just as you were before you went into
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:22
			ruku, likewise you should stand up as you
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:24
			were in a straight position with your back
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:24
			straight.
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:27
			So that's the fifth pillar from the pillars
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:28
			of the salah.
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:32
			Pillar number five is going into sujood.
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:34
			So the sajda position.
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:36
			Sorry, number six.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:39
			Pillar number six is going into the sajda
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:40
			position.
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:41
			So the actual sajda.
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:43
			As we mentioned in the other ayah.
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:49
			Perform ruku and perform sajda.
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:56
			And the Prophet said, Perform sajda until you
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:59
			have established and you feel at ease in
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:01
			that position, in that sajda position.
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:05
			So, performing sajda, the position, the act of
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:09
			being in that physical state of the sajda.
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:12
			And of course the sajda is twofold.
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:14
			There's two sajdas in every single rakah.
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:19
			The seventh pillar of salah is the sitting
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:21
			between the two sajdas.
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:24
			The sitting between the two sajdas.
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:26
			So for example, if somebody said, you know,
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:30
			I'll just combine between the two sajdas.
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:32
			I'll just do one long sajda and then
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:34
			I won't do a sitting between the sajdas
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:35
			and I'll get back up in the second
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:36
			rakah.
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:38
			Is this salah valid?
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:39
			No.
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:42
			You have to sit up after the first
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:44
			sajda and then go back down into the
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:45
			second sajda.
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:48
			If there is no sitting between the two
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:50
			sajdas then there is no salah.
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:54
			Again, as per the hadith of the Prophet,
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:59
			come back up until you are sitting straight,
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:02
			sitting upright and then you go back down
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:03
			into sajda.
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:06
			So pillar number seven is the sitting between
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:07
			the two sajdas.
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:10
			Pillar number eight is attama'neena.
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:14
			Being at ease or being in a tranquil
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:19
			state in each of these specific positions that
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:20
			we've mentioned.
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:22
			Being at ease.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:25
			Being at ease when you're standing, being at
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:27
			ease when you're in rukuh, being at ease
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:29
			when you get back up from rukuh, meaning
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:33
			it's not supposed to be rushed.
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:34
			It's not supposed to be something that you
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:35
			do really quickly.
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:39
			Sometimes a person may do it very quickly
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:43
			and he hasn't really been at ease in
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:44
			any of those positions.
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:50
			Again, how does a person know?
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:54
			Well, if a person didn't give time for
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:56
			his body to be in a relaxed state
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:59
			in each of those positions, then he hasn't
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:03
			really been in a state where he's felt
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:03
			at ease.
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:09
			And how long that state will be and
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:14
			how long the tranquil state is going to
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:17
			be for, that could differ from person to
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:17
			person.
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:20
			But the person knows himself whether or not
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:22
			he was in a state of ease, whether
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:25
			he was rushing too much, whether or not
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:28
			he was actually in a relaxed position, feeling
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:31
			at peace in each of those positions of
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:31
			the salah.
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:35
			So the eighth pillar is being in a
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:38
			state of ease in every single one of
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:40
			those positions that we've mentioned.
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:43
			Based on the hadith that we've already mentioned
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:44
			a number of times where the Prophet would
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:48
			mention being in sajdah, being in ruku, حتى
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:51
			تطمئن until you are at ease in sajdah,
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:53
			until you are at ease in ruku.
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:07
			Again, you have to define what we mean
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:07
			by rushing.
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:12
			As we said, the time period could differ
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:13
			from person to person.
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:15
			And as long as the imam is making
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:18
			those positions, for example, the imam may be
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:20
			in that position for two seconds, for us
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:23
			our habit may be four seconds, but because
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:24
			we're behind the imam, as long as he
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:26
			makes those positions, and he fulfills the pillars,
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:28
			then the salah is valid inshallah.
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:34
			Even then, you still have to be in
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:37
			a peaceful, tranquil state in every position of
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:37
			the salah.
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:40
			You have to be in a state of
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:40
			peace and tranquility.
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:43
			It has to be both.
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:47
			So mentally, whatever issue you were in before
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:50
			the salah, you try your best to be
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:52
			in a physical state where you're not rushing
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:52
			the salah.
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:56
			So mentally there's things you may be able
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:57
			to do in the salah to be able
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:59
			to take your mind off whatever's been happening.
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:02
			But physically, the body needs to be at
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:02
			ease.
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:05
			So when the Prophet ﷺ says حَتَّ تَطْمَئِنَّ
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:07
			until you are at ease, he's referring to
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:08
			the physical state.
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:10
			He's referring to the physical state itself.
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:12
			Mentally, of course, a person tries his best,
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:14
			and there are other ways in which a
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:16
			person can remain focused in the salah.
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:19
			So the eighth pillar is being at ease
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:22
			in every single position that we mentioned from
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:23
			the pillars of the salah.
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:30
			The ninth and tenth pillar are the final
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:34
			tashahud and sitting during the final tashahud.
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:38
			So nine is the last tashahud, the final
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:39
			tashahud in salah.
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:41
			Why do we say the final tashahud?
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:44
			Because, of course, if it's three rakahs or
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:47
			four rakahs of salah, there's going to be
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:47
			two tashahuds.
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:50
			So this is the last tashahud, the final
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:53
			tashahud, the second tashahud before a person gives
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:53
			salaam.
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:58
			So the ninth pillar is the final tashahud.
		
00:29:58 --> 00:30:01
			The tenth pillar is sitting during the final
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:02
			tashahud.
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:07
			For example, if a person's coming up from
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:11
			the second sajdah and he's making tahiyyat while
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:14
			he's getting up, and as soon as he
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:17
			sits up he gives salaam, because he recited
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:19
			it in record speed, and he says it
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:21
			while he's getting up, and then as soon
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:23
			as he sits, he's like, I'm done, and
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:26
			he hasn't fulfilled the ninth or the tenth
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:26
			pillar.
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:27
			What's the tenth pillar?
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:31
			Being in a sitting state to do the
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:32
			final tashahud.
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:36
			So the final tashahud is a pillar of
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:40
			the salah, and sitting during the final tashahud.
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:42
			And when we say tashahud, we're referring to
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:45
			the du'a, at-tahiyyatu lillahi wa-s
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:47
			-salawatu wa-t-tayyibatu, as-salamu alayka ayyuhan
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:50
			nabiyyu, until the end of that specific du
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:52
			'a, that's known as the at-tashahud.
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:58
			Pillar number 11, all of these pillars and
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:02
			all of these positions being done in a
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:04
			specific order.
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:07
			Being done in a specific order.
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:10
			So for example, a person stands up first,
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:13
			reciting Quran in his standing position, then he
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:15
			performs ruku, then he stands back up, then
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:17
			he does sajda, then he sits, then he
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:19
			performs sajda, then he sits again and makes
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:20
			tashahud, then he gives salam.
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:24
			All of these things are from the sunnah
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:26
			of the Prophet, being done in a specific
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:27
			order.
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:28
			It's not permissible for a person to mix
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:29
			them up.
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:32
			You can't pray and just jump into sajda,
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:36
			straight away, and then go into ruku, and
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:38
			then stand, and then sit, and then do
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:39
			your own weird salah.
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:39
			That's not permissible.
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:41
			It has to be done in a specific
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:42
			order.
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:46
			The order of the Prophet, again, pray as
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:47
			you have seen me praying.
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:51
			The things he said, the things he did,
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:53
			all of it has to be in compliance
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:55
			with the sunnah of the Messenger of Allah,
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:58
			and it's interesting, if you look at, for
		
00:31:58 --> 00:32:03
			example, the Orthodox Jews, the way they pray,
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:08
			they do sajda first, because if you ever
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:10
			go on YouTube and type in Jewish prayer,
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:14
			they do sajda first, and then they do
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:16
			ruku, and the sajda and ruku is very
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:19
			similar to the Muslim sajda and ruku.
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:23
			So they'll do sajda, they'll stand first, and
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:27
			they'll be reciting, and then they'll do sajda,
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:30
			they'll go down to sajda, then they'll do
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:32
			ruku, then they'll stand up.
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:37
			It's very similar, the similarities, they're quite similar.
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:39
			Of course the way they do ruku and
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:41
			sajda is slightly different, but it's more or
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:42
			less the same position.
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:45
			And what's even more interesting is Allah, subhanahu
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:47
			wa ta'ala, when He speaks about Maryam,
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:51
			a.s., commanding her to pray, Allah tells
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:51
			her, ...
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:56
			He mentions prostrating first, and then performing ruku.
		
00:32:58 --> 00:33:00
			So Allah knows best, it may have been
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:02
			that the Sharia of the past, people, the
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:05
			believers were commanded to perform sajda, and then
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:06
			to perform ruku.
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:10
			But subhanAllah, it's interesting how the positions can
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:11
			be quite similar.
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:16
			So, being done in a specific order in
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:19
			Islam, with regards to salah, the actions have
		
00:33:19 --> 00:33:21
			to be done in that specific order as
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:23
			per the sunnah of the Prophet, s.a
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:25
			.w. The final pillar, from the pillars of
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:28
			the salah, is what?
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:32
			Taslim, giving salam.
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:37
			Giving salam, as per the sunnah of the
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:41
			Prophet, s.a.w., ...
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:44
			He said that the Prophet, s.a.w.,
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:46
			said, it's enough for you to place your
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:49
			hands on your thighs, meaning in that position,
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:52
			in the sitting position, then giving salam on
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:54
			your right and then on your left.
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:56
			So this is the final pillar from the
		
00:33:56 --> 00:33:57
			pillars of Islam.
		
00:33:58 --> 00:34:00
			Because the salah, as we mentioned a while
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:02
			back, what is a salah?
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:09
			An act of worship, in a dan, beginning
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:14
			with takbir, ending with taslim.
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:18
			Specific actions, specific statements, done in a specific
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:21
			order, beginning with takbir, ending with taslim.
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:23
			So there has to be a taslim being
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:24
			given.
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:27
			If salam hasn't been done, hasn't been made,
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:29
			then you're still in the salah.
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:33
			So for example, let's say for example, you're
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:35
			in your salah, and you're praying, and you
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:39
			haven't given salam, and something happens.
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:43
			And you stand up without giving salam, to
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:45
			go and see what's going on, some emergency.
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:47
			Has the salah been fulfilled?
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:49
			It hasn't been fulfilled.
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:52
			Because you broke the salah before giving salam.
		
00:34:53 --> 00:34:56
			If you gave salam, and then you got
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:58
			up to do something, or something, there was
		
00:34:58 --> 00:35:02
			an emergency and your child got hurt himself,
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:03
			or whatever the case is, if you had
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:05
			given salam, then your salah's fine.
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:07
			But if you just got up like this,
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:09
			you know, shocked, or you're in a rush,
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:12
			or you're scared of something happening, and you
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:15
			didn't give salam, because salam is a pillar
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:16
			from the pillars of salah, your salah wouldn't
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:17
			be farid.
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:18
			You have to repeat the whole salah again.
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:23
			So, these twelve brothers and sisters are from
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:25
			the pillars of the salah.
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:28
			And if any of these are missed out,
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:32
			either intentionally or by accident, then a person
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:33
			has to repeat the whole salah.
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:36
			Now we move on to the obligatory acts
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:37
			of the salah.
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:50
			Then if you missed a rakah, you make
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:52
			up the rakah, and you recite surah Fatiha
		
00:35:52 --> 00:35:53
			in the rakah that you're making up.
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:00
			That's fine.
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:02
			You still made the rakah.
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:04
			It's overlooked, because as soon as you start
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:06
			the salah, and the imam is reciting a
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:10
			different surah, then you can't recite Fatiha anyway.
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:12
			So it's the same situation as a person
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:14
			not being able to recite surah Fatiha if
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:16
			he did it with the imam, but he
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:16
			didn't have enough time.
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:17
			Same thing inshallah.
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:19
			So the obligatory acts of the salah.
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:21
			There's eight obligatory acts.
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:24
			What are the differences between what's the difference
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:26
			between a pillar and an obligatory act?
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:30
			An obligatory act, if it's missed intentionally, the
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:32
			salah is not valid.
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:35
			If it's done by accident, he can continue
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:38
			the salah, and he makes surah As-Sahih
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:39
			before he gives salam.
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:42
			So the first obligatory act of the salah
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:48
			is the rest of the takbeers other than
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:50
			the first takbeer.
		
00:36:51 --> 00:36:54
			The rest of the takbeers other than the
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:55
			first takbeer.
		
00:36:55 --> 00:36:57
			If you look at the those of you
		
00:36:57 --> 00:36:59
			who are writing, if you look at the
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:01
			pillars, what do we notice about the pillars?
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:04
			Generally speaking, with the exception of a couple.
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:13
			Yeah, but when we look at the pillars
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:14
			that we just made a list of, there's
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:16
			twelve pillars of salah.
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:20
			You'll notice that most of the pillars, with
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:23
			the exception of two or three, are physical.
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:25
			They're physical.
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:31
			So the position of ruku, the position of
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:35
			sajdah, the sitting between the two sajdahs.
		
00:37:36 --> 00:37:38
			Most of them are physical, with the exception
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:41
			of a few where a person says things,
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:44
			taslim, takbeer al-ihram, surah Fatiha.
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:47
			With the wajibat, you'll notice most of them
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:50
			are things you say in salah.
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:53
			Things you actually say in salah.
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:56
			So the first one are the rest of
		
00:37:56 --> 00:37:58
			the takbeerat in salah, other than the first
		
00:37:58 --> 00:37:59
			takbeer.
		
00:37:59 --> 00:38:01
			The first takbeer is a rukun, is a
		
00:38:01 --> 00:38:01
			pillar.
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:06
			The rest of the takbeers are obligatory acts.
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:10
			Number two, al-tasmi' which is what is
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:13
			said when a person stands up from ruku.
		
00:38:13 --> 00:38:16
			So when you stand up from ruku, you
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:17
			say sami'allahu liman hamida.
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:21
			This is called tasmi' So tasmi' is from
		
00:38:21 --> 00:38:22
			the obligatory acts of the salah.
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:24
			It's from the wajibat of salah.
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:27
			With the exception of when you're praying behind
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:27
			the imam.
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:29
			When you're praying behind the imam and the
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:31
			imam says sami'allahu liman hamida, we say
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:32
			rabbana walaka alhamd.
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:37
			So, otherwise if a person is praying by
		
00:38:37 --> 00:38:40
			himself, then from the obligatory acts is for
		
00:38:40 --> 00:38:42
			him to make tasmi' saying sami'allahu liman
		
00:38:42 --> 00:38:43
			hamida.
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:48
			The third obligatory act of salah is tahmid.
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:51
			Rabbana walaka alhamd.
		
00:38:52 --> 00:38:55
			So the first part is sami'allahu liman
		
00:38:55 --> 00:38:55
			hamida.
		
00:38:56 --> 00:38:58
			The third, sorry the second part is sami
		
00:38:58 --> 00:38:59
			'allahu liman hamida.
		
00:38:59 --> 00:39:01
			The second obligatory act is sami'allahu liman
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:01
			hamida.
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:04
			The third obligatory act is saying rabbana walaka
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:06
			alhamd or rabbana laka alhamd.
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:09
			Both of them are permissible.
		
00:39:10 --> 00:39:13
			Number four is saying in ruku, subhana rabbil
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:15
			azeem, at least once.
		
00:39:16 --> 00:39:19
			Saying subhana rabbil azeem, at least once.
		
00:39:19 --> 00:39:21
			The sunnah is for you to say it
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:26
			three times, but minimum it should be said
		
00:39:26 --> 00:39:26
			at least once.
		
00:39:28 --> 00:39:34
			Number five, saying in sajdah, subhana rabbil a
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:36
			'la, at least once.
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:39
			Saying subhana rabbil a'la, at least once.
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:41
			And it's interesting, when a person is in
		
00:39:41 --> 00:39:45
			sajdah, he's been told by Allah subhana wa
		
00:39:45 --> 00:39:49
			ta'ala to say subhana rabbil a'la
		
00:39:49 --> 00:39:50
			al a'la.
		
00:39:50 --> 00:39:51
			What does al a'la mean?
		
00:39:52 --> 00:39:53
			The most high.
		
00:39:55 --> 00:39:59
			So when you're at your most lowest, when
		
00:39:59 --> 00:40:03
			you're at your lowest, you're remembering Allah who
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:04
			is the highest.
		
00:40:05 --> 00:40:09
			There's this contrast between the weakness of the
		
00:40:09 --> 00:40:12
			slave and the power, the ultimate power of
		
00:40:12 --> 00:40:13
			Allah subhana wa ta'ala.
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:16
			And it's supposed to bring about a sense
		
00:40:16 --> 00:40:17
			of humility.
		
00:40:18 --> 00:40:19
			A sense of acknowledgement that you are the
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:20
			weakest.
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:23
			In that state when you're performing sajdah, there
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:24
			is no weaker state.
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:27
			You're recognising your weakness in front of Allah
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:28
			subhana wa ta'ala.
		
00:40:29 --> 00:40:30
			So it's a sign of humility.
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:33
			It's a sign of your submission to Allah
		
00:40:33 --> 00:40:34
			subhana wa ta'ala.
		
00:40:34 --> 00:40:36
			And this is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:37
			wa sallam, he said, ...
		
00:40:38 --> 00:40:41
			The closest a slave is to his Lord
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:43
			is while he's in sajdah.
		
00:40:44 --> 00:40:48
			It's amazing that physically you're not the closest
		
00:40:48 --> 00:40:50
			to Allah in sajdah, physically.
		
00:40:51 --> 00:40:53
			If you're standing, you're a little bit closer
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:54
			to Allah.
		
00:40:54 --> 00:40:58
			But spiritually, in terms of your connection with
		
00:40:58 --> 00:41:01
			Allah, you're the closest you could be to
		
00:41:01 --> 00:41:02
			Allah when you're in sajdah.
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:04
			Not when it comes to distance, but when
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:05
			it comes to humility.
		
00:41:06 --> 00:41:08
			When it comes to acknowledging your Creator.
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:13
			And we ask Allah azza wa jal that
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:17
			we're never in a state of arrogance where
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:20
			we're unable to perform sajdah, whether intentionally or
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:23
			whether because of some kind of illness or
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:26
			because of some kind of problem.
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:30
			I remember there was somebody I knew from
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:30
			my school days.
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:33
			Once he came here out of the blue.
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:34
			He wasn't somebody who used to come here.
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:38
			He used to have a rough time in
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:39
			secondary school.
		
00:41:40 --> 00:41:43
			He was involved in smoking and drugs and
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:43
			Muslim.
		
00:41:44 --> 00:41:46
			And he came one day and I was
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:47
			trying to talk to him.
		
00:41:47 --> 00:41:48
			I was young at the time as well.
		
00:41:49 --> 00:41:50
			And salah time came, he prayed next to
		
00:41:50 --> 00:41:51
			me.
		
00:41:51 --> 00:41:53
			And I noticed in sajdah, he wouldn't put
		
00:41:53 --> 00:41:54
			his head down.
		
00:41:54 --> 00:41:56
			He would put his head close to the
		
00:41:56 --> 00:41:59
			carpet, but he wouldn't put his head onto
		
00:41:59 --> 00:42:00
			the carpet itself.
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:03
			So Allah a'lam, why?
		
00:42:03 --> 00:42:04
			I never asked him why.
		
00:42:05 --> 00:42:07
			I didn't question why he did it.
		
00:42:07 --> 00:42:09
			Maybe I thought I'll see him again.
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:13
			Whether it was arrogance, sometimes people who aren't
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:15
			practicing when they come, they don't feel like
		
00:42:15 --> 00:42:17
			they're deserving of Allah's mercy, Allah's forgiveness.
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:19
			Allah a'lam what the reason was.
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:23
			Never saw him again after that.
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:26
			A few years later when I started teaching,
		
00:42:27 --> 00:42:30
			I was teaching a child whose father was
		
00:42:30 --> 00:42:32
			in the same year as me in school.
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:36
			And he mentioned to me that brother, to
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:37
			remember him, I said, yeah what happened?
		
00:42:37 --> 00:42:38
			He said he killed himself.
		
00:42:39 --> 00:42:43
			So drugs, you know he was hooked on
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:45
			drugs and he couldn't get his fix and
		
00:42:45 --> 00:42:46
			jumped off a building and killed himself.
		
00:42:48 --> 00:42:51
			So subhanAllah, you know sajdah is a means
		
00:42:51 --> 00:42:53
			by which Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala can
		
00:42:53 --> 00:42:58
			give you, can forgive you, give you guidance,
		
00:42:58 --> 00:43:00
			can protect you, bring you back to the
		
00:43:00 --> 00:43:01
			right path.
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:05
			So when a person turns to Allah, when
		
00:43:05 --> 00:43:08
			a person makes those steps towards Allah, Allah
		
00:43:08 --> 00:43:10
			will hasten towards you, Allah will save you,
		
00:43:10 --> 00:43:11
			Allah will take care of you, Allah will
		
00:43:11 --> 00:43:13
			protect you, Allah will bring you back to
		
00:43:13 --> 00:43:13
			the deen.
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:16
			And subhanAllah it's just an important lesson for
		
00:43:16 --> 00:43:19
			us of maintaining that connection with Allah subhanahu
		
00:43:19 --> 00:43:20
			wa ta'ala.
		
00:43:20 --> 00:43:24
			So the fifth obligation in Salah is saying
		
00:43:24 --> 00:43:27
			subhanahu wa ta'ala at least once, a
		
00:43:27 --> 00:43:28
			minimum of once.
		
00:43:28 --> 00:43:33
			The sixth obligation of Salah is saying between
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:38
			the two sajdahs Rabbi ghafir li o Allahumma
		
00:43:38 --> 00:43:41
			ghafir li saying Rabbi ghafir li o Allahumma
		
00:43:41 --> 00:43:49
			ghafir li and the seventh and eighth obligatory
		
00:43:49 --> 00:43:51
			acts of Salah Anyone know what they might
		
00:43:51 --> 00:43:51
			be?
		
00:43:52 --> 00:43:54
			They're both together, similar to the pillars.
		
00:43:55 --> 00:43:56
			There were two pillars together.
		
00:44:00 --> 00:44:00
			Very good.
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:05
			The first tashahud and also the sitting for
		
00:44:05 --> 00:44:06
			the first tashahud.
		
00:44:07 --> 00:44:10
			The first tashahud and also the sitting for
		
00:44:10 --> 00:44:11
			the first tashahud.
		
00:44:11 --> 00:44:12
			So when you get up from the second
		
00:44:12 --> 00:44:15
			sajdah, you can't just read the tashahud as
		
00:44:15 --> 00:44:16
			you're getting up and say I don't need
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:17
			to say it anymore, just stand up straight
		
00:44:17 --> 00:44:18
			away for the third rakah.
		
00:44:19 --> 00:44:20
			Okay I'll save time.
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:21
			That's not permitted.
		
00:44:22 --> 00:44:25
			So if it's done intentionally, Salah is not
		
00:44:25 --> 00:44:26
			valid.
		
00:44:26 --> 00:44:28
			If it was done unintentionally and you didn't
		
00:44:28 --> 00:44:31
			realize, then a person has to perform sajud
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:31
			al sahw.
		
00:44:32 --> 00:44:35
			So those are the eight obligatory acts of
		
00:44:35 --> 00:44:38
			the eight obligatory acts of the Salah.
		
00:44:40 --> 00:44:42
			Now we'll move on finally inshallah to the
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:42
			sunan of Salah.
		
00:44:43 --> 00:44:45
			The recommended acts of the Salah.
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:48
			Now there are many many recommended acts of
		
00:44:48 --> 00:44:49
			the Salah.
		
00:44:49 --> 00:44:50
			There are many sunnahs of Salah.
		
00:44:50 --> 00:44:51
			We're not going to be able to go
		
00:44:51 --> 00:44:53
			into all of them inshallah but we're going
		
00:44:53 --> 00:44:54
			to go through some of them.
		
00:44:56 --> 00:45:00
			From them, the isti'adah, or before the
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:03
			isti'adah, making du'a or istiftah.
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:07
			And when we speak about the sunan of
		
00:45:07 --> 00:45:11
			Salah, in English we say it's things which
		
00:45:11 --> 00:45:11
			are recommended.
		
00:45:12 --> 00:45:14
			And when we hear the word recommended, sometimes
		
00:45:14 --> 00:45:16
			we think oh that means you don't have
		
00:45:16 --> 00:45:16
			to do it.
		
00:45:16 --> 00:45:18
			Or it's doctor's recommendations.
		
00:45:19 --> 00:45:20
			Doctor recommended it, oh I don't have to
		
00:45:20 --> 00:45:21
			do it then, it's just a recommendation.
		
00:45:22 --> 00:45:24
			My recommendation to you as your lawyer, as
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:25
			your accountant, is you should do this.
		
00:45:25 --> 00:45:27
			Okay, I don't have to do it then.
		
00:45:27 --> 00:45:29
			That's what you're recommending, doesn't mean I have
		
00:45:29 --> 00:45:29
			to do it.
		
00:45:30 --> 00:45:31
			So we have this kind of mindset.
		
00:45:32 --> 00:45:35
			A sunnah is something you're rewarded for doing,
		
00:45:35 --> 00:45:36
			you're not sinful for leaving.
		
00:45:37 --> 00:45:39
			But a sunnah, especially when it comes to
		
00:45:39 --> 00:45:43
			Salah, completes the quality and the value and
		
00:45:43 --> 00:45:45
			the beauty of the Salah.
		
00:45:46 --> 00:45:50
			And the more sunan of Salah you miss,
		
00:45:50 --> 00:45:52
			the lower the quality of your Salah will
		
00:45:52 --> 00:45:52
			be.
		
00:45:53 --> 00:45:56
			To the extent where if you're missing all
		
00:45:56 --> 00:45:58
			of the sunnahs of Salah, because that's the
		
00:45:58 --> 00:46:00
			risk then, you might end up not doing
		
00:46:00 --> 00:46:02
			any of the sunnahs because they're just sunnahs
		
00:46:02 --> 00:46:02
			anyway.
		
00:46:03 --> 00:46:05
			Next, after the sunnahs are what?
		
00:46:07 --> 00:46:08
			Obligatory acts of Salah.
		
00:46:09 --> 00:46:11
			So now your obligatory acts of Salah are
		
00:46:11 --> 00:46:12
			not protected with anything.
		
00:46:12 --> 00:46:14
			Does that make sense?
		
00:46:14 --> 00:46:16
			You have the sunnah acts which are there.
		
00:46:17 --> 00:46:20
			If they're being fulfilled, would you ever intentionally
		
00:46:20 --> 00:46:21
			miss an obligatory act of Salah?
		
00:46:23 --> 00:46:24
			You wouldn't miss an obligatory act of Salah
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:27
			because you're so careful of not missing the
		
00:46:27 --> 00:46:28
			sunan of Salah.
		
00:46:29 --> 00:46:31
			So if you're not doing any of the
		
00:46:31 --> 00:46:33
			sunan, the next in line that you're going
		
00:46:33 --> 00:46:35
			to be neglectful of and careless with are
		
00:46:35 --> 00:46:36
			the obligatory acts.
		
00:46:37 --> 00:46:40
			That's going to affect not just the quality
		
00:46:40 --> 00:46:42
			but maybe even the validity of your Salah
		
00:46:42 --> 00:46:42
			itself.
		
00:46:43 --> 00:46:45
			So that's why it's very important that a
		
00:46:45 --> 00:46:48
			person completes as many of the sunan as
		
00:46:48 --> 00:46:51
			possible because it helps him perfect his Salah,
		
00:46:51 --> 00:46:53
			improves the quality of his Salah.
		
00:46:53 --> 00:46:55
			Also it shows that he's more focused in
		
00:46:55 --> 00:46:56
			Salah.
		
00:46:57 --> 00:46:58
			There's more attentiveness.
		
00:46:59 --> 00:47:01
			Because the sunnahs, he'll be thinking about them,
		
00:47:01 --> 00:47:04
			making sure he fulfills every single sunnah, or
		
00:47:04 --> 00:47:05
			as many as he can for each rakah.
		
00:47:08 --> 00:47:11
			So, making dua al-istiftah, subhanakallah wa bihamdika
		
00:47:11 --> 00:47:13
			wa tabarakasmuka after takbirat al-ihram.
		
00:47:13 --> 00:47:14
			This is something which is from the sunan.
		
00:47:15 --> 00:47:17
			Inshallah, hopefully many of us do it, if
		
00:47:17 --> 00:47:18
			not all of us are doing this.
		
00:47:19 --> 00:47:24
			Also, making isti'adah before reciting surah Fatiha.
		
00:47:26 --> 00:47:29
			Sometimes reciting the basmalah out loud, which is
		
00:47:29 --> 00:47:32
			also from the sunnah as is mentioned by
		
00:47:32 --> 00:47:33
			some of the scholars.
		
00:47:34 --> 00:47:39
			Saying ameen after the imam, or after a
		
00:47:39 --> 00:47:40
			person recites surah Fatiha.
		
00:47:41 --> 00:47:43
			The recitation after surah Fatiha.
		
00:47:44 --> 00:47:45
			Recitation after surah Fatiha.
		
00:47:46 --> 00:47:49
			Something which, hopefully, many of us, if not
		
00:47:49 --> 00:47:50
			all of us do anyway.
		
00:47:51 --> 00:47:56
			Also, after saying rabbana wa laka al-hamd,
		
00:47:58 --> 00:47:59
			making more duas.
		
00:47:59 --> 00:48:01
			After you get up from rakuh, simi'allahu
		
00:48:01 --> 00:48:02
			li min al-hamd, rabbana wa laka al
		
00:48:02 --> 00:48:04
			-hamd, hamdan kathiran tayyiban mubarakun fee.
		
00:48:05 --> 00:48:07
			There are other narrations of other duas that
		
00:48:07 --> 00:48:08
			the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam used to
		
00:48:08 --> 00:48:09
			make also.
		
00:48:09 --> 00:48:10
			mila al-sama'i wa mila al-ardi
		
00:48:10 --> 00:48:11
			wa mila ma shita min shay'in ba'd.
		
00:48:12 --> 00:48:14
			Other narrations and other duas also.
		
00:48:14 --> 00:48:19
			A person increasing in dua after the final
		
00:48:19 --> 00:48:22
			tashahud and before he gives salam.
		
00:48:23 --> 00:48:24
			That's from the sunnah.
		
00:48:24 --> 00:48:26
			In fact, they say it's one of those
		
00:48:26 --> 00:48:28
			times when a person's dua is accepted because
		
00:48:28 --> 00:48:30
			you're in the presence of Allah and you're,
		
00:48:30 --> 00:48:33
			you know, making dua prior to giving salam.
		
00:48:33 --> 00:48:36
			And then there are acts which are from
		
00:48:36 --> 00:48:37
			the sunnah.
		
00:48:37 --> 00:48:38
			So these are things which a person says
		
00:48:38 --> 00:48:39
			in salah.
		
00:48:39 --> 00:48:40
			Then there are acts in the sunnah.
		
00:48:40 --> 00:48:42
			For example, raising the hands when you begin
		
00:48:42 --> 00:48:43
			the salah.
		
00:48:43 --> 00:48:45
			In the takbeerat al-ihram, when you make
		
00:48:45 --> 00:48:45
			takbeerat al-ihram.
		
00:48:46 --> 00:48:49
			When a person gets up from rakuh, going
		
00:48:49 --> 00:48:49
			down into rakuh.
		
00:48:50 --> 00:48:53
			When a person stands up after the first
		
00:48:53 --> 00:48:53
			tashahud.
		
00:48:54 --> 00:48:56
			When a person stands up after the first
		
00:48:56 --> 00:48:57
			tashahud.
		
00:48:58 --> 00:49:01
			Interestingly, placing the right hand, when a person
		
00:49:01 --> 00:49:04
			is standing, placing the right hand on his
		
00:49:05 --> 00:49:06
			left hand.
		
00:49:06 --> 00:49:08
			The right hand on his left hand.
		
00:49:09 --> 00:49:11
			This is something which, like, all of us
		
00:49:11 --> 00:49:11
			do.
		
00:49:11 --> 00:49:13
			It's something we're taught as children.
		
00:49:14 --> 00:49:15
			No one will say, ah, it's just a
		
00:49:15 --> 00:49:16
			sunnah.
		
00:49:18 --> 00:49:20
			I've never seen anybody or heard of anybody
		
00:49:20 --> 00:49:21
			putting the left hand on the right hand
		
00:49:21 --> 00:49:23
			and then saying, yeah, it's just a sunnah,
		
00:49:23 --> 00:49:24
			it's okay.
		
00:49:25 --> 00:49:25
			Salah's still valid.
		
00:49:26 --> 00:49:28
			It's okay, I can still do this.
		
00:49:29 --> 00:49:31
			It's not something that's done.
		
00:49:31 --> 00:49:34
			It's understood that this is just from the
		
00:49:34 --> 00:49:37
			things which you should do as a Muslim.
		
00:49:37 --> 00:49:39
			If somebody did do this, is his salah
		
00:49:39 --> 00:49:39
			valid?
		
00:49:40 --> 00:49:42
			Technically, his salah's valid.
		
00:49:42 --> 00:49:43
			But how many of us here would do
		
00:49:43 --> 00:49:44
			something like that?
		
00:49:45 --> 00:49:46
			It wouldn't even feel right.
		
00:49:48 --> 00:49:49
			But the salah's valid.
		
00:49:49 --> 00:49:50
			But this is my point.
		
00:49:50 --> 00:49:52
			Sometimes, some of these things, they're ingrained in
		
00:49:52 --> 00:49:55
			us from such a young age, and it's
		
00:49:55 --> 00:49:57
			something which we consider so important that if
		
00:49:57 --> 00:49:59
			we don't do them, we would think there's
		
00:49:59 --> 00:50:00
			something wrong with the salah.
		
00:50:01 --> 00:50:04
			So the point is, these sunnahs, they have
		
00:50:04 --> 00:50:08
			to be implemented to the extent where, okay,
		
00:50:08 --> 00:50:10
			a person understands if he doesn't do it,
		
00:50:10 --> 00:50:12
			the salah's still valid, but he's just giving
		
00:50:13 --> 00:50:16
			the salah that important status, that quality, that
		
00:50:16 --> 00:50:18
			beauty and that completeness that it's supposed to
		
00:50:18 --> 00:50:18
			have.
		
00:50:19 --> 00:50:21
			Also, a person placing his hands on his
		
00:50:21 --> 00:50:24
			chest when he's in the standing position, looking
		
00:50:24 --> 00:50:26
			at the place of sajdah when he's in
		
00:50:26 --> 00:50:30
			a standing position, placing his hands on his
		
00:50:30 --> 00:50:33
			knees when he's performing ruku, placing his hands
		
00:50:33 --> 00:50:37
			widespread on his knees, placing his hands on
		
00:50:37 --> 00:50:39
			his thighs, or on the ends of his
		
00:50:39 --> 00:50:42
			thighs when he's between the two sajdahs.
		
00:50:42 --> 00:50:45
			When he's in sajdah, making sure that all
		
00:50:45 --> 00:50:48
			of the parts of the body which should
		
00:50:48 --> 00:50:51
			be on the floor consistently remain on the
		
00:50:51 --> 00:50:55
			floor, consistently throughout the sajdah, that's from the
		
00:50:55 --> 00:50:55
			sunnah.
		
00:50:56 --> 00:50:59
			If a person does it for five, let's
		
00:50:59 --> 00:51:01
			say for three seconds, and then for whatever
		
00:51:01 --> 00:51:05
			reason, lifts his forehead slightly, or lifts his
		
00:51:05 --> 00:51:09
			hand slightly, right hand off the ground, as
		
00:51:09 --> 00:51:13
			long as he did sajdah on the parts
		
00:51:13 --> 00:51:15
			of the body he's supposed to do sajdah
		
00:51:15 --> 00:51:17
			on, for a period of time, the sajdah's
		
00:51:17 --> 00:51:17
			valid.
		
00:51:18 --> 00:51:21
			Like we mentioned with that brother, he didn't
		
00:51:21 --> 00:51:23
			put his head on the ground, so technically
		
00:51:23 --> 00:51:26
			his salah wasn't valid because he didn't actually,
		
00:51:28 --> 00:51:30
			okay, may have been unintentionally, Allah knows best,
		
00:51:31 --> 00:51:34
			but if it was intentionally, then there's no
		
00:51:34 --> 00:51:38
			salah because the sajdah position wasn't done in
		
00:51:38 --> 00:51:39
			its entirety.
		
00:51:40 --> 00:51:43
			Physically, the sajdah wasn't actually done, which is
		
00:51:43 --> 00:51:44
			a pillar from the pillars of salah.
		
00:51:44 --> 00:51:46
			In fact, even if it was unintentional, because
		
00:51:46 --> 00:51:47
			it's a pillar from the pillars of salah,
		
00:51:48 --> 00:51:50
			the sajdah itself, the physical position.
		
00:51:50 --> 00:51:52
			So, making sure that all of these things
		
00:51:52 --> 00:51:57
			are done in a correct manner, and with
		
00:51:57 --> 00:52:01
			that, inshallah, we've concluded with the pillars of
		
00:52:01 --> 00:52:04
			salah, with the obligatory acts of salah, and
		
00:52:04 --> 00:52:05
			with the sunnah of salah.
		
00:52:06 --> 00:52:09
			Pillars, if they're left intentionally or unintentionally, the
		
00:52:09 --> 00:52:10
			salah's invalid.
		
00:52:10 --> 00:52:11
			You have to repeat the salah.
		
00:52:11 --> 00:52:14
			Things which are wajibat of salah, if they're
		
00:52:14 --> 00:52:16
			missed intentionally, salah's not valid.
		
00:52:17 --> 00:52:19
			If they're missed unintentionally, he can make it
		
00:52:19 --> 00:52:21
			up by performing the situdu sahu, and inshallah,
		
00:52:22 --> 00:52:23
			his salah is valid.
		
00:52:23 --> 00:52:25
			And sunnah of salah, if they are omitted
		
00:52:25 --> 00:52:28
			for whatever reason, intentionally or unintentionally, the salah
		
00:52:28 --> 00:52:31
			is still valid, but it reduces the quality
		
00:52:31 --> 00:52:32
			of the prayer.
		
00:52:32 --> 00:52:34
			And with that, inshallah, we're going to be
		
00:52:34 --> 00:52:34
			concluding.
		
00:52:34 --> 00:52:36
			Any questions before we finish?
		
00:52:45 --> 00:52:48
			So, the pillars of salah.
		
00:52:49 --> 00:52:51
			Anyone want to repeat the pillars of salah?
		
00:52:51 --> 00:52:52
			Anyone want to write them down?
		
00:52:53 --> 00:52:54
			Pillars of salah.
		
00:53:01 --> 00:53:02
			The pillars, yeah.
		
00:53:02 --> 00:53:04
			So, the fifth pillar you're talking about.
		
00:53:04 --> 00:53:05
			We'll go through them all again, inshallah.
		
00:53:05 --> 00:53:08
			So, the first pillar of salah, takbeerat al
		
00:53:08 --> 00:53:09
			-ihram.
		
00:53:09 --> 00:53:10
			Second pillar of salah.
		
00:53:12 --> 00:53:13
			What's the second pillar of salah?
		
00:53:13 --> 00:53:13
			Oh, sorry.
		
00:53:14 --> 00:53:15
			The first pillar of salah, we mentioned, what
		
00:53:15 --> 00:53:15
			was it?
		
00:53:16 --> 00:53:16
			Standing.
		
00:53:17 --> 00:53:18
			Standing position.
		
00:53:18 --> 00:53:20
			Second pillar of salah is takbeerat al-ihram,
		
00:53:21 --> 00:53:21
			the first takbeer.
		
00:53:22 --> 00:53:23
			Third pillar, reciting surah Fatiha.
		
00:53:24 --> 00:53:25
			Fourth pillar, the ruku.
		
00:53:26 --> 00:53:28
			Fifth pillar, standing up from ruku.
		
00:53:29 --> 00:53:32
			Sixth pillar, sujood.
		
00:53:32 --> 00:53:36
			Seventh pillar, sitting between the two sardars.
		
00:53:36 --> 00:53:39
			Eighth pillar, being at ease in every single
		
00:53:39 --> 00:53:40
			of these positions.
		
00:53:40 --> 00:53:43
			Ninth and tenth pillar, the tashahud, the final
		
00:53:43 --> 00:53:46
			tashahud, and the sitting in the final tashahud.
		
00:53:46 --> 00:53:50
			The eleventh pillar, doing all of these pillars
		
00:53:50 --> 00:53:52
			and acts of the salah in a specific
		
00:53:52 --> 00:53:55
			order, and the twelfth pillar, giving salam.
		
00:53:58 --> 00:53:59
			Question here.
		
00:54:04 --> 00:54:05
			Do we exit the prayer when praying a
		
00:54:05 --> 00:54:08
			sunnah or nafl prayer when the iqamah starts?
		
00:54:09 --> 00:54:11
			So, if you're towards the tail end of
		
00:54:11 --> 00:54:13
			a sunnah prayer or nafl prayer when the
		
00:54:13 --> 00:54:16
			iqamah starts, and you're able to finish the
		
00:54:16 --> 00:54:22
			salah before the obligatory salah actually begins, then
		
00:54:22 --> 00:54:24
			you can finish the salah before you join
		
00:54:24 --> 00:54:25
			the actual salah itself.
		
00:54:25 --> 00:54:27
			So if the mu'adhin is giving the
		
00:54:27 --> 00:54:30
			iqamah, and let's say you're in the final
		
00:54:30 --> 00:54:33
			rakah and you're giving sajdah, would you be
		
00:54:33 --> 00:54:34
			able to finish the salah before the imam
		
00:54:34 --> 00:54:35
			begins the salah?
		
00:54:36 --> 00:54:37
			You'll be able to finish the salah.
		
00:54:38 --> 00:54:39
			So you can finish the salah, get the
		
00:54:39 --> 00:54:41
			reward of completing the whole salah, and then
		
00:54:41 --> 00:54:43
			you can also join the imam inshallah, and
		
00:54:43 --> 00:54:45
			you won't miss any of the salah of
		
00:54:45 --> 00:54:46
			the imam either.
		
00:54:49 --> 00:54:51
			How to join the prayer behind the imam?
		
00:54:51 --> 00:54:54
			After the congregational prayer has already started.
		
00:54:54 --> 00:54:55
			So if the prayer has already started, you
		
00:54:55 --> 00:55:00
			simply join wherever the row is, and you
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:02
			raise your hands, you make takbir, and then
		
00:55:02 --> 00:55:05
			you basically begin praying behind the imam, and
		
00:55:05 --> 00:55:07
			you don't need to recite anything because the
		
00:55:07 --> 00:55:08
			imam is reciting.
		
00:55:08 --> 00:55:11
			Unless the imam isn't reciting, then you can
		
00:55:11 --> 00:55:13
			recite surah Fatiha and another surah, but if
		
00:55:13 --> 00:55:16
			the imam does sajdah or rakuh before you're
		
00:55:16 --> 00:55:20
			finishing surah Fatiha quietly, then again, you're following
		
00:55:20 --> 00:55:22
			the imam, so there's no issue, there's nothing
		
00:55:22 --> 00:55:23
			wrong with this inshallah.
		
00:55:26 --> 00:55:27
			If I miss a pillar and realize before
		
00:55:27 --> 00:55:29
			salah ends, can I get back up to
		
00:55:29 --> 00:55:30
			repeat the rakah?
		
00:55:31 --> 00:55:35
			If I miss a pillar and realize before
		
00:55:35 --> 00:55:37
			salah ends, can I get back up to
		
00:55:37 --> 00:55:37
			repeat the rakah?
		
00:55:38 --> 00:55:41
			No, because then you're not fulfilling the order.
		
00:55:42 --> 00:55:43
			The order is being disrupted.
		
00:55:44 --> 00:55:45
			You can't go back.
		
00:55:45 --> 00:55:47
			Once you've missed a pillar, you have to
		
00:55:47 --> 00:55:49
			start the salah again, because it disrupts the
		
00:55:49 --> 00:55:49
			order.
		
00:55:54 --> 00:55:56
			Is the durood a pillar of the final
		
00:55:56 --> 00:55:57
			tashahud?
		
00:55:59 --> 00:56:01
			It's recommended for a person to do the
		
00:56:01 --> 00:56:03
			durood or to say Allahumma sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:56:03 --> 00:56:06
			sallam until the end in the final tashahud.
		
00:56:06 --> 00:56:07
			It's something which is recommended.
		
00:56:08 --> 00:56:10
			Reciting surahs, is that a pillar or is
		
00:56:10 --> 00:56:10
			it a must?
		
00:56:10 --> 00:56:12
			As we mentioned, it's a sunnah from the
		
00:56:12 --> 00:56:14
			sunnah of the salah to recite a surah
		
00:56:14 --> 00:56:15
			after surah Fatiha.
		
00:56:16 --> 00:56:19
			In fact, sometimes the Prophet would recite surahs
		
00:56:19 --> 00:56:22
			after Fatiha, even in the third and fourth
		
00:56:22 --> 00:56:25
			rakah, whereas generally it's not something which was
		
00:56:25 --> 00:56:27
			done by the Prophet ﷺ, only sometimes.
		
00:56:27 --> 00:56:32
			What to do if joining a congregational prayer
		
00:56:32 --> 00:56:33
			when the imam is in sujood?
		
00:56:34 --> 00:56:35
			Do you wait until he stands up?
		
00:56:35 --> 00:56:35
			No.
		
00:56:35 --> 00:56:37
			So if the imam is in sajdah, you
		
00:56:37 --> 00:56:38
			join and you go into sajdah.
		
00:56:39 --> 00:56:42
			Because you get the reward of being closest
		
00:56:42 --> 00:56:42
			to Allah.
		
00:56:43 --> 00:56:46
			So if you're joining the salah and the
		
00:56:46 --> 00:56:48
			imam is in sajdah and you're thinking, I'll
		
00:56:48 --> 00:56:49
			just wait for him to get up and
		
00:56:49 --> 00:56:50
			go into sajdah.
		
00:56:50 --> 00:56:56
			That's not really having a connection with Allah
		
00:56:56 --> 00:56:58
			and wanting to pray and being closer to
		
00:56:58 --> 00:57:00
			Allah and having a love for the salah.
		
00:57:01 --> 00:57:02
			I know some people, they'll wait for the
		
00:57:02 --> 00:57:04
			imam to stand up but sometimes the imam
		
00:57:04 --> 00:57:06
			will just stay sitting because it's the second
		
00:57:06 --> 00:57:07
			rakah and you'll be doing the shahood, for
		
00:57:07 --> 00:57:07
			example.
		
00:57:08 --> 00:57:10
			So you start the salah, you join in
		
00:57:10 --> 00:57:12
			whatever position the imam is in and then
		
00:57:12 --> 00:57:14
			you get the reward, inshallah, of whichever position
		
00:57:14 --> 00:57:15
			you joined with the imam.
		
00:57:16 --> 00:57:19
			If the imam misses an obligatory act and
		
00:57:19 --> 00:57:21
			gives taslim, those in the congregation, do they
		
00:57:21 --> 00:57:22
			also give taslim?
		
00:57:22 --> 00:57:22
			Yes.
		
00:57:22 --> 00:57:24
			So you do taslim along with the imam.
		
00:57:24 --> 00:57:26
			Then the imam will do sadudu sahoo and
		
00:57:26 --> 00:57:27
			then you follow the imam.
		
00:57:28 --> 00:57:30
			During tahmid, can you also make any dua?
		
00:57:32 --> 00:57:35
			No, there are specific supplications that should be
		
00:57:35 --> 00:57:37
			made when you get up from rakuh.
		
00:57:38 --> 00:57:40
			The time when it's allowed for you to
		
00:57:40 --> 00:57:43
			make extra dua is in sajdah, after you
		
00:57:43 --> 00:57:45
			say subhana rabbil ala and also before you
		
00:57:45 --> 00:57:45
			give salam.
		
00:57:46 --> 00:57:47
			After the tashahud.
		
00:57:47 --> 00:57:50
			When making dua before taslim, does one raise
		
00:57:50 --> 00:57:50
			their hands?
		
00:57:50 --> 00:57:51
			No.
		
00:57:51 --> 00:57:51
			You don't raise your hands.
		
00:57:51 --> 00:57:53
			Your hands are kept on your thighs based
		
00:57:53 --> 00:57:54
			on the hadith of the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:57:56 --> 00:57:57
			How to increase my focus in prayer?
		
00:57:59 --> 00:58:02
			That's a very long topic, lots of things
		
00:58:02 --> 00:58:03
			you could mention.
		
00:58:03 --> 00:58:05
			One of the things you could do is
		
00:58:05 --> 00:58:07
			focus on every single letter you're reciting.
		
00:58:08 --> 00:58:10
			Every single part of the salah.
		
00:58:11 --> 00:58:13
			Focus on every single letter that you're reciting
		
00:58:13 --> 00:58:16
			of every single word of every sentence in
		
00:58:16 --> 00:58:17
			the salah.
		
00:58:17 --> 00:58:20
			That will help you stay focused inshallah.
		
00:58:21 --> 00:58:23
			There's other things you can do, maybe one
		
00:58:23 --> 00:58:25
			session we could speak about some of the
		
00:58:25 --> 00:58:27
			things you could do to focus more in
		
00:58:27 --> 00:58:27
			salah.
		
00:58:29 --> 00:58:31
			When making dua before taslim or can I
		
00:58:31 --> 00:58:33
			read fatiha before the imam?
		
00:58:35 --> 00:58:37
			If I join the salah after the imam
		
00:58:37 --> 00:58:38
			has started a new surah, what do I
		
00:58:38 --> 00:58:38
			do?
		
00:58:38 --> 00:58:40
			You can't read fatiha before the imam.
		
00:58:41 --> 00:58:42
			Because the imam is there for you to
		
00:58:43 --> 00:58:45
			follow, not to proceed.
		
00:58:46 --> 00:58:49
			You don't say things before the imam says
		
00:58:49 --> 00:58:49
			them.
		
00:58:50 --> 00:58:52
			And you don't do things before the imam
		
00:58:52 --> 00:58:52
			does them.
		
00:58:53 --> 00:58:56
			So, you know, children for example, before the
		
00:58:56 --> 00:58:57
			imam goes to start it, they jump to
		
00:58:57 --> 00:58:58
			start it before the imam does.
		
00:58:59 --> 00:59:02
			So, obviously an adult, the kids, it's fine.
		
00:59:03 --> 00:59:04
			An adult shouldn't be doing that.
		
00:59:04 --> 00:59:05
			You don't go to start it before the
		
00:59:05 --> 00:59:05
			imam.
		
00:59:06 --> 00:59:07
			You don't get up before the imam.
		
00:59:08 --> 00:59:10
			So it has to be done after the
		
00:59:10 --> 00:59:11
			imam because the imam is there for you
		
00:59:11 --> 00:59:12
			to follow.
		
00:59:12 --> 00:59:14
			That's the whole purpose of the imam, inshallah.
		
00:59:14 --> 00:59:15
			Any other questions?
		
00:59:16 --> 00:59:17
			Three more questions, inshallah.
		
00:59:24 --> 00:59:27
			Yeah, so after the imam has said ameen.
		
00:59:53 --> 00:59:55
			So, dhuhr salah would be four rakahs.
		
00:59:55 --> 00:59:56
			So if you pray two rakahs and you
		
00:59:56 --> 00:59:59
			give salam, inshallah that would be considered a
		
00:59:59 --> 01:00:00
			sunnah or a nafl salah then.
		
01:00:01 --> 01:00:03
			So you would have to pray the four
		
01:00:03 --> 01:00:04
			rakahs of dhuhr.
		
01:00:05 --> 01:00:06
			If you pray two, it wouldn't be considered
		
01:00:06 --> 01:00:07
			dhuhr.
		
01:00:28 --> 01:00:30
			So, yeah, the brother's asking when do you
		
01:00:30 --> 01:00:32
			go into sajdah when the imam is saying
		
01:00:32 --> 01:00:34
			allahu akbar or after he's finished saying allahu
		
01:00:34 --> 01:00:34
			akbar.
		
01:00:35 --> 01:00:37
			So really the sunnah is that a person
		
01:00:37 --> 01:00:40
			shouldn't go into sajdah until the imam is
		
01:00:40 --> 01:00:41
			actually in sajdah physically.
		
01:00:43 --> 01:00:44
			The question is how do you know?
		
01:00:46 --> 01:00:47
			Because you won't know because you can't see
		
01:00:47 --> 01:00:49
			sometimes if you're in the third, fourth, fifth
		
01:00:49 --> 01:00:49
			row, tenth row.
		
01:00:50 --> 01:00:52
			So if the imam is able to go
		
01:00:52 --> 01:00:54
			into sajdah and just before he goes into
		
01:00:54 --> 01:00:56
			sajdah completely he makes takbir, that would be
		
01:00:56 --> 01:00:57
			the best thing.
		
01:00:57 --> 01:00:59
			Then you know that's when to go into
		
01:00:59 --> 01:00:59
			sajdah.
		
01:01:00 --> 01:01:03
			But if a person goes into sajdah after
		
01:01:03 --> 01:01:06
			the imam has started saying takbir and before
		
01:01:06 --> 01:01:08
			he's finished then inshallah that's fine.
		
01:01:12 --> 01:01:14
			Yeah, you should wait slightly.
		
01:01:15 --> 01:01:18
			So when the imam says allahu akbar, wait
		
01:01:18 --> 01:01:19
			for him to make takbir.
		
01:01:19 --> 01:01:22
			And once he's said takbir, if he's halfway
		
01:01:22 --> 01:01:23
			through then inshallah you can do it.
		
01:01:23 --> 01:01:25
			But it's best for him to finish.
		
01:01:25 --> 01:01:28
			It's just sometimes you know some imams, mashallah
		
01:01:28 --> 01:01:29
			it'll be a long allahu akbar.
		
01:01:29 --> 01:01:34
			Sometimes I say allahu akbar and it's quite
		
01:01:34 --> 01:01:35
			long and then you're kind of waiting.
		
01:01:35 --> 01:01:37
			So again it depends on his length and
		
01:01:37 --> 01:01:37
			things.
		
01:01:37 --> 01:01:38
			But if you're able to wait until he
		
01:01:38 --> 01:01:40
			says it and also the imam if he
		
01:01:40 --> 01:01:42
			keeps it short especially for sajdah, then that's
		
01:01:42 --> 01:01:42
			best inshallah.
		
01:01:48 --> 01:01:51
			Yeah, so again scholars differ with regards to
		
01:01:51 --> 01:01:52
			when the salah ends.
		
01:01:52 --> 01:01:53
			Is it after the first salam?
		
01:01:53 --> 01:01:54
			Is it after the second salam?
		
01:01:54 --> 01:01:56
			So as long as he's made the first
		
01:01:56 --> 01:01:58
			salam, the first taslim, then inshallah you can
		
01:01:58 --> 01:01:58
			make taslim.
		
01:01:59 --> 01:02:00
			And once he says the second taslim, then
		
01:02:00 --> 01:02:01
			you can make the second taslim.
		
01:02:02 --> 01:02:04
			Or if he says both and then you
		
01:02:04 --> 01:02:05
			do it after he says both, that's fine
		
01:02:05 --> 01:02:06
			as well.
