			As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			Alhamdulillahi rabbil alameen, wa salatu wa salamu ala
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			usraf al-anbiyai wa al-mursaleen, nabiyyina Muhammadin
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			wa ala alihi wa sahbihi ajma'in.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:24
			Inshallah, today we're going to be speaking about
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			the conditions of the Salah.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			And there are many conditions of the Salah.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			So inshallah we're going to be going through
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:32
			them.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:36
			And hopefully we'll finish within the allotted time,
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:36
			bi-idhnillah.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			First of all, we have to understand before
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			we go into the conditions of Salah, what
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			a condition is.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			How do we define a condition?
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			What is a condition?
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			What's a condition of Salah?
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			When we say a condition of Salah, or
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			a condition of Wudu, or a condition of
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			someone going Hajj, what is a condition?
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			A requirement.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:04
			Okay.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08
			I think you need more detail than just
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			the word requirement.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			It requires more detail.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			Say that again.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			Something that has to be in place for
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			the Salah to be valid, but that could
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:21
			be a sajdah.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			It has to be in place for the
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			Salah to be valid.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			Now, what is a condition?
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			I'm not talking about the actual conditions.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			What is a condition?
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			So I want to know, when we say
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:44
			these are conditions of Salah, sharrut of Salah,
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			what does the word sharrut mean?
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			What does the word condition actually mean?
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			Again, that could be sajdah in Salah.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			Is sajdah a sharrut of Salah?
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			Is sajdah a condition of Salah?
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			Is sajdah a condition of Salah?
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:08
			Yes?
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			No?
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			Nope?
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			So it's not a condition of Salah.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:15
			Yeah.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			Prerequisite, okay.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:23
			So a sharrut or a condition of Salah,
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			the word condition, when we say condition of
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29
			Salah, a condition of Wudu, a condition of
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30
			Hajj, etc.
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:37
			It means something that must be fulfilled before
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:41
			an act, for that act to be valid.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:47
			Something that must be fulfilled before an act,
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:51
			for that act to be valid.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:55
			Meaning conditions have to be done when?
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			Before the act that you're about to do.
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			So a condition is something that must be
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:04
			fulfilled, and there are many definitions that we
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			can take for conditions, scholars have mentioned them
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:09
			in many books, but just to make it
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			easier for us, something that must be fulfilled
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			before an act for that act to be
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			valid.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:15
			That's basically a condition.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			Easy way to remember, or for us to
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			understand better, you know when you download an
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:23
			app, for example, on your phones, for the
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24
			first time, and when you open it, what
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:25
			does it have at the beginning?
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28
			Terms and conditions.
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			If you don't accept those terms and conditions,
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:31
			they won't let you use the app.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:35
			So it's a requirement for you to use
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			the app that you have to accept those
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			conditions.
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			So a condition is something you have to
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			do prior to the act itself.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:45
			You're asked to borrow somebody's car, and the
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			person says, you can borrow my car, but
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			on one condition.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:54
			You have to accept that condition before you
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:54
			take the car from him.
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			So a condition is something that has to
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			be done before an act has to be
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:02
			fulfilled, before an act for that act to
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			be valid.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			Whether it's before wudu, for example, we've gone
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:09
			through conditions of wudu already, so this shouldn't
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:12
			be difficult in terms of understanding what a
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:12
			condition is.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:18
			Conditions of wudu, water, being purifying, a person,
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:24
			again, having intention, and the other conditions that
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			we've mentioned.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			So we're going to now go into some
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30
			of the conditions, or all the conditions of
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			salah.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:35
			And the first condition of salah is entrance
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			of the time for salah.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			That's a condition before a person can pray.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			So nobody can pray Fajr now.
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:45
			You can't pray Fajr now, because the time
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			for Fajr hasn't come in.
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:50
			So the time of the salah has to
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			enter in order for a person to pray.
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			The time for that salah has to enter
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			in order for that person to pray that
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:57
			salah.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			And as Allah says in the Quran, the
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:02
			famous ayah we've already mentioned before, إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:06
			كَانَتْ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كِتَابًا مَوْقُوتًا Verily, the prayer
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:10
			is for the believers at specified times.
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12
			It's clear in the Quran that there are
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			specific times for the salah.
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:16
			And this is why Umar ibn al-Khattab
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:20
			said, The prayer لَهَا وَقْطٍ It has its
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:20
			times.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:24
			The prayer has its times that Allah subhanahu
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:27
			wa ta'ala has made a condition for
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:30
			people to pray on, or to pray in
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:30
			those times.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			So the prayer has specific times, Allah has
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:36
			made it a condition, لا تصحوا إلا به
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:39
			It's not valid except with that condition being
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:39
			met.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			Meaning the beginning of those times coming in.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:46
			What's the wisdom of those prayers being at
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:47
			specific times?
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:56
			Yes, so obviously it's a condition because Allah
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:57
			has mentioned it in the Quran.
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			And the Prophet ﷺ told us about the
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			timings of those prayers.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			But what's one of the wisdoms of having
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			different times for the salawat?
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			We did touch upon this before.
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			Yes, so in essence, so that you're able
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17
			to remember Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala basically
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:21
			at different times of the day and the
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:21
			night.
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:24
			Regardless of what situation or what state you're
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:24
			in.
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			And that's actually a blessing from Allah.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:31
			It's not something which is, you know, نعوذ
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			بالله, a nuisance or Allah wishing to cause
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			us harm because Allah doesn't want to cause
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:35
			us harm.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:37
			It's for our own benefit.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:41
			That in every single situation, we're continuously remembering
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:41
			Allah.
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:42
			It's not the case that you wake up
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:43
			in the morning, you don't have to pray
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:44
			fajr, you go straight to work.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			And all that's on your mind is work
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			and money and business and just making lots
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:52
			of money and competing with each other when
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:56
			it comes to wealth and desires.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			And you're not even thinking about salah.
		
00:07:59 --> 00:07:59
			There's a wisdom.
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02
			There's a wisdom behind why a person prays
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:03
			prior to going to sleep.
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:06
			It's not just about a person resting and
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:09
			relaxing and having a nice sleep at night
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:12
			and maybe watching something or listening to something
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			or doing something haram and then going to
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			sleep and not worrying about it.
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			The point is that you're always remembering Allah
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			in every single circumstance.
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is constantly
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:24
			on your mind.
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:26
			And this is why the salah is such
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			a beautiful act of worship.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:31
			It's done regularly, but it's a link that
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			you have with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			So, the timings of the salawat.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			We'll take dhuhr salah first.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:41
			What is the time of the dhuhr salah?
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			When does the time of dhuhr begin?
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			And when does the time of dhuhr end?
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:50
			The time of dhuhr begins after zawal.
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:55
			Zawal is when the sun is at its
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:56
			highest point.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			So, where does the sun rise from?
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:01
			Which part of the world?
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:07
			East, west, north, south, east.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:10
			So, east, land of the rising sun.
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			What's the land of the rising sun?
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			Japan, which is east.
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			So, the sun rises from the east.
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:21
			When the sun rises from the east, your
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:22
			shadow is on which side?
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:24
			The west.
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:28
			When the sun is rising, on the eastern
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:31
			side, as it's rising, the shadow is on
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:32
			the west side.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:34
			It's on your west.
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:35
			Your shadow will be on the west.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:38
			As the sun is going higher, it reaches
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:41
			the highest point, which is called the zenith,
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:44
			or zawal, which is the highest point that
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:45
			the sun is going to be at.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			When the sun is at its highest point,
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			it's forbidden for a person to pray at
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:51
			that point.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:54
			There are certain times when salah is not
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:55
			permitted.
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			During sunrise, with the exception of somebody who
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:01
			hasn't prayed fajr, because he forgot or he
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:02
			woke up late.
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:05
			During sunrise, the zenith, when the sun is
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:09
			at its highest point, and during sunset.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:10
			So when the sun is at its highest
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:16
			point, after it starts moving, and after it
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:19
			moves, and your shadow isn't on the eastern
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:22
			side anymore, your shadow isn't on the western
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:25
			side anymore, your shadow is on the eastern
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:29
			side, that's when surat al-dhuhr begins.
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31
			That's when surat al-dhuhr starts.
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:35
			So, the sun is at its highest point,
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:38
			it starts making its way westward.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:41
			Because the sun sets in the west.
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43
			Rises from the east, sets in the west.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			As it's making its way, as it passes
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:46
			the highest point, when it's at its highest
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:47
			point, there's no shadow.
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:49
			There's no shadow.
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:52
			But once it passes the highest point, that's
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			when the shadow forms on the other side.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:56
			That's when the shadow forms on the eastern
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:57
			side.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:59
			And that's when dhuhr begins.
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:03
			So dhuhr begins once the sun has passed
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
			its highest point.
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:07
			Or after zawal.
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:12
			And dhuhr continues, the time of dhuhr continues,
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			until the shadow is the same length as
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:16
			the object.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			The shadow is the same length as you,
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:24
			that's basically the end time of surat al
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:24
			-dhuhr.
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26
			That's when surat al-dhuhr ends.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:31
			And there are narrations of Abdullah ibn Amr
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:34
			r.a, when he said, waqt al-dhuhr,
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			the time of dhuhr, idha zaalat al-shams,
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:40
			is after the sun has passed zawal, wakana
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			dhillu rajli mithluhu aw katoolihi.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45
			And when the shadow is the same length
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:46
			as the person.
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:48
			The shadow is the same length as the
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:49
			person.
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:51
			So that's basically the timings of dhuhr.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:55
			And of course, it's recommended for a person
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:58
			to pray dhuhr at its earliest time.
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:02
			The Prophet s.a.w. was once asked,
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04
			ayyu al-amali ahabba ilallah, which actions are
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:05
			most beloved to Allah?
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:07
			And the Prophet s.a.w. said, as
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:12
			-salatu ala waqtiha, prayer at its appointed time,
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:14
			or prayer at its earliest time.
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:17
			So when a person prays at the earlier
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19
			time, meaning as soon as the salat time
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			comes in, that's the best time for a
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:22
			person to pray.
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:23
			With one exception.
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:26
			What's the one exception?
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:29
			We'll get to that.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:35
			Now what's the one exception where praying at
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:39
			its earliest time isn't recommended for all the
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40
			prayers?
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:42
			Not just dhuhr or isha.
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:43
			Nope.
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:45
			Praying with the jama'ah.
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			So for example, we prayed not at the
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:51
			earliest time of isha.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:53
			There was a slight delay.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:54
			Why?
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:57
			Well, different reasons.
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:59
			It's permissible for a person to pray within
		
00:12:59 --> 00:12:59
			that time period.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			So you look at, for example, many people
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:05
			who may be busy with work or other
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:07
			duties, and then when they come to the
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:10
			salat later, you have the time of salat
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:11
			at a point in time where many people
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:12
			can attend.
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			So if that is the case, which is
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:16
			mostly the case in most masajids, as far
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			as I know, where the jama'ah time
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			isn't the same as the start time.
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:22
			You look at the timetable, there's always a
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			start time, and there's always a jama'ah
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:27
			time, when the salat al-jama'ah is
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:27
			going to be.
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			So in that situation, is it better for
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:32
			me to pray at the start time, where
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:35
			I'm working or in my home, for example,
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:36
			or is it better for me to pray
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:37
			in congregation at the masjid?
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:39
			It's better for you to delay it if
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:41
			you can, and pray in congregation in the
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			masjid, because salat al-jama'ah, prayer in
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:46
			congregation, is 27 times better than praying by
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:46
			yourself.
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:50
			So praying together, even if you have to
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			delay the salat, is better than praying by
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:53
			yourself.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:56
			And also, there's a narration of the Prophet,
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:57
			salallahu alayhi wa sallam, where he said, when
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:03
			the heat becomes severe, then pray when it
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:04
			becomes cooler.
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			Meaning, dhuhr salat.
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09
			Specifically dhuhr salat, because of course, especially in
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:12
			those countries, that time of the day would
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:13
			be very, very hot.
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:15
			And so the Prophet, salallahu alayhi wa sallam,
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:19
			he allowed people to delay the salat, dhuhr
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			salat specifically, due to the heat.
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:22
			If it's very hot, then a person can
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:23
			delay the prayer.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25
			And of course, when it comes to those
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:27
			countries and places where it's very hot.
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:29
			So, that's the time for dhuhr.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:30
			What about salat al-asr?
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:34
			Salat al-asr begins when dhuhr ends.
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			Dhuhr begins when asr ends.
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:40
			So when the object is the same size,
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:42
			when the shadow is the same size as
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			its object, that's when dhuhr will finish, and
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:45
			asr comes in.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:50
			When asr comes in, asr salat continues until
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:56
			until you see the yellowness of the sun.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:15:00
			Meaning the sun hasn't set, but it's starting
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			to.
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03
			It's starting to set.
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:07
			So until you see the yellowness of the
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:07
			sun.
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:09
			The Prophet, salallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:17
			Until just before the sun starts to show
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:18
			its yellowness.
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:21
			So, as long as the sun hasn't set,
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:27
			the time for asr is still in, and
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:28
			there are two times.
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:31
			The recommended time is before you start seeing
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:32
			the yellowness of the sun.
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:36
			What that means, in essence, is the sun
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:39
			has started to set, but it hasn't set
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:39
			yet.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			There's a yellowness in the sky.
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:45
			That's the recommended time.
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			And the latest time a person can pray
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:51
			salat al-asr is before the sun has
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:53
			completely set.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:54
			Before sunset.
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:56
			Which is when which salat comes in?
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:58
			Maghrib comes in.
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:02
			So, salat al-asr is when the shadow
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:04
			is equal to the length of the object
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:06
			until the yellowness of the sun.
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:09
			And at the latest, which isn't the best
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:11
			time, it's not the recommended time to pray,
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:13
			but it's probably still valid, at the latest,
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:16
			before the sun has set, which is when
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:19
			salat al-Maghrib comes in.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			That's when Maghrib Salat comes in.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:26
			And the asr Salat, again, it's encouraged for
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:27
			a person to pray it at its earliest
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:30
			time, and it's also given another name.
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:32
			What's the other name for asr?
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:34
			It's a baqarah.
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38
			Hafidhu al-as-salawati wa-as-salat al
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:39
			-wusta.
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:42
			Allah says, preserve the prayers and preserve the
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:43
			middle prayer.
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:45
			The middle prayer being salat al-asr.
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:50
			And, again, it shows us the importance of
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:51
			this salat.
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:53
			All the salawat are, of course, important.
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:56
			The Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:59
			in a narration, that the one who misses
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:01
			the asr prayer, it's like as if he's
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:03
			lost all his wealth and all his family.
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:07
			The asr prayer is a very important prayer.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:09
			And this ayah in the Quran, where Allah
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:11
			speaks about preserving the prayers and preserving the
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:14
			middle prayer, it's interesting that this ayah comes
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:18
			after Allah speaks about issues related to divorce.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:22
			Some of the scholars, they say, the wisdom
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			behind this is that this salah is one
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:27
			of the means by which a person can
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:28
			preserve his family.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:31
			As the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32
			sallam, himself mentioned in the hadith we just
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:34
			mentioned, that the person who misses the asr
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:37
			salah or neglects the asr prayer, it's as
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:38
			if he's lost his wealth and his family.
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41
			So the asr prayer is a means by
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:44
			which a person can preserve his family and
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:47
			keep his family life peaceful and tranquil and
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:50
			content, can have contentment with regards to his
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:51
			family life.
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:53
			As with all the other prayers, of course,
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:55
			we're not saying that it's just one salah
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:56
			that a person needs to pray and he'll
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:56
			be fine.
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:59
			All the salawat, when a person prays them,
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:01
			there is a level of protection and sakinah
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:04
			and tranquility that descends on a person when
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			he obeys Allah and when he commands his
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			family to also obey Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:09
			'ala.
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:10
			So this is surat al-asr.
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:14
			Surat al-Maghrib, when does Maghrib begin?
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:17
			When does Maghrib begin?
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:21
			Before the sunset?
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:27
			Before the twilight begins?
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:31
			Sorry?
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:34
			After the sunset?
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:35
			Before the sunset?
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:35
			During sunset?
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:37
			After the sunset.
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:37
			Good.
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:42
			So Maghrib begins after the sun has set.
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:44
			Remember what we said before, it's not permissible
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:48
			for a person to pray salawat at three
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:50
			points in his time, during the day, during
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:54
			sunrise, during sunset, and when the sun is
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:55
			at its highest point.
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:59
			Unless, like we said, there's a delay in
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01
			the salah which he has to pray, then
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:02
			that's the exception.
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:04
			But he shouldn't just feel like praying at
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:07
			those times because in the days of Jahiliyyah,
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:09
			the disbelievers, they would pray at those times
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:11
			because some of them, they would worship the
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:12
			sun.
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:14
			They would worship the sun, they'd worship the
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:15
			sun at its most brilliant.
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:17
			Which is during sunrise.
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:18
			If you've ever seen a sunrise, or if
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:19
			you've ever seen a sunset, it's beautiful.
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:21
			You know, when the sun is at its
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:24
			most powerful, that's when they would worship the
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:24
			sun.
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:27
			And so, this isn't something which is permitted
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:27
			in Islam.
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			So a common mistake when we say Maghrib,
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:32
			when is Maghrib, when do we pray Maghrib,
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:34
			during sunset, that's incorrect.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:36
			We don't pray Maghrib during sunset.
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:39
			We don't pray Maghrib before sunset.
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:41
			Because that's Asr time, basically.
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:46
			So Maghrib Salah begins after the sun has
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:46
			set.
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:50
			After the sun has set completely.
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:52
			So if you still see a bit of
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:55
			the sun on the horizon, Maghrib Salah hasn't
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:56
			begun yet.
		
00:19:57 --> 00:20:01
			The sun, once it's completely set, that's when
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:04
			the Salah has set, the Salah has begun,
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:05
			Maghrib Salah has begun.
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:09
			That's why the scholars, they say, that you
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:11
			don't see any of it left.
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:13
			If you still see some of the sun,
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:17
			then it's still not Maghrib time.
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:20
			Once the sun has completely set, you don't
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:22
			see any of the sun anymore, that's when
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:23
			the time for Maghrib comes in.
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:25
			And the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he said
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:28
			in a Hadith, when night falls from this
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:32
			side, when night falls from this side, and
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:35
			the day vanishes from this side, which side
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:35
			is he talking about?
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:38
			He's talking about Maghrib here.
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:42
			When night falls from this side, and the
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:46
			day vanishes from this side, which side is
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:46
			he talking about?
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:49
			On which side will night fall?
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:50
			East.
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:53
			Because the sun is setting in the west.
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:55
			So which side is going to be lighter?
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59
			The west is going to be lighter because
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:00
			the sun is setting there, the sun is
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:00
			right there.
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:03
			So that's why sometimes you might see the
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:04
			sun on one side and you might see
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:06
			the moon on the other side.
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:07
			Have you ever seen that?
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:12
			Sometimes if it's close to Maghrib, even like
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:14
			in the morning sometimes, you still see the
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:16
			moon on one side of the sky.
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:19
			So the sun is setting and maybe you'll
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:20
			see the moon.
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21
			So the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he said,
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:24
			when night falls from this side, meaning from
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:28
			the east, and the day vanishes from this
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:31
			side, you don't see the daylight anymore, then
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:34
			the fasting person should break his fast.
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:36
			When does a fasting person break his fast?
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:39
			At the time of Maghrib.
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:44
			So once the sun has completely set, that's
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:45
			when the time for Maghrib begins.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:49
			Will there be some light in the sky
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:52
			when Maghrib Salah begins, when the time for
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:52
			Maghrib begins?
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:53
			Yes.
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:55
			There's still light in the sky.
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:59
			But the sun itself has completely set.
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:01
			But of course, the power and the rays
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:03
			and the light of the sun will still
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:04
			be evident in the sky.
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:10
			For example, if this whole Masjid was pitch
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:13
			black, and this table is here, and it's
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:15
			covered and blocked from the front, and I
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			had a torch, and I lit the torch
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:21
			behind the table, would you see some light?
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:26
			You'd see some light, because the light, just
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:27
			because it's under the table, doesn't mean you
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:29
			won't see the effects of the light.
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:33
			That's something that sometimes, as an experiment we
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:34
			do in school, we put the torch on,
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:36
			and you can still see some of the
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:36
			light.
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38
			So it's something which gives you an idea
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:41
			of how just because there's light in the
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:44
			sky, it doesn't mean that Maghrib hasn't come
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:44
			in.
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:47
			In fact, if there's no light in the
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:49
			sky, that means that Salah has come in.
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:50
			That's Isha.
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:53
			So Maghrib, once the sun has completely set,
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:56
			yes, there is light in the sky, but
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:57
			Maghrib has come in.
		
00:22:57 --> 00:23:03
			For example, today, Maghrib Salah, was around what
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:03
			time?
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:04
			4.20 something?
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:08
			And 10 to 5, for example, there was
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:08
			still light in the sky.
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:11
			There was still light in the sky.
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:16
			So, Salatul Maghrib is once the sun has
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:21
			completely set, and Isha Salah.
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:25
			Isha Salah begins at the end of Maghrib
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:26
			Salah.
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:29
			So when is the end of Maghrib Salah?
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:35
			In essence, when there is no more light
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:35
			in the sky.
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:38
			When there is no more light in the
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:38
			sky.
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:41
			And it's not a very long time, compared
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:42
			to the other Salahs.
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:44
			Other Salahs, you might have 2, 3, 4,
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:48
			5 hours with Maghrib Salah, depending on which
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:49
			time of the year you're in, maybe an
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:52
			hour, maybe 45 minutes, in the extreme winters,
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:54
			it may be an hour and a half,
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:57
			possibly, maybe a bit more, Allah knows best.
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:59
			But the point is, once there is no
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:01
			more light in the sky, then that's when
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:03
			Maghrib Salah finishes.
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:05
			And that's why, between the Adhan and the
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:08
			Iqamah of Maghrib, there's less time.
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:10
			It might be 5 minutes between the Adhan
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:11
			and the Iqamah for Maghrib.
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:15
			Whereas, Fajr and Dhuhr and Asr and Isha,
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:17
			you might have 15, 20 minutes between the
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:18
			Adhan and the Iqamah.
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:22
			Because the time between the sun setting and
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:24
			then there being no light at all in
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:28
			the sky and Isha coming in, obviously, is
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:30
			a lot less than other Salawats.
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:32
			So there is a small window when it
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:33
			comes to the Maghrib Salah.
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:37
			So Isha Salah begins when Maghrib ends.
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:42
			And Maghrib ends once the redness in the
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:44
			sky has gone.
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:48
			Once the redness in the sky, as they
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:50
			say, Maghrib al-Shafaq al-Ahmar.
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:55
			So once the redness of the horizon has
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:59
			gone, and in essence you have darkness in
		
00:24:59 --> 00:24:59
			the sky.
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:00
			So once there is darkness in the sky
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			basically, there is no more light anymore.
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:04
			You can't see any more light as a
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:05
			result of the sun.
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:07
			That's when Salat al-Isha comes in.
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:10
			And Salat al-Isha continues until half of
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:11
			the night.
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:13
			When is half of the night?
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:17
			When will half of the night be?
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:21
			No.
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:24
			When is half of the night?
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:25
			It's not midnight by the way.
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:35
			Close.
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:37
			You got the wrong Salah though.
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:39
			When does it become dark?
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:41
			After.
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:46
			After Maghrib.
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:50
			So the sun once it's basically set, darkness
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:52
			starts to come in at Maghrib time.
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:54
			Darkness starts to come in at Maghrib time.
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:56
			That's when it begins.
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:59
			So you calculate the time between Maghrib and
		
00:25:59 --> 00:25:59
			Fajr.
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:03
			And then whatever is in the middle, that's
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:03
			half of the night.
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:08
			So Isha begins once it's completely dark, and
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:11
			it continues until half of the night.
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:14
			And half of the night could be 11
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:17
			o'clock at night, depending on again the
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:19
			time of the year, could be 1 o
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:21
			'clock, 12 o'clock, whatever the time may
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:21
			be.
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:24
			So that's the end time of a person
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:27
			being able to pray Isha Salah.
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:31
			And that's the recommended time for a person
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:33
			to pray before, which is the middle of
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:34
			the night.
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:38
			If whatever reason, a person ended up praying
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:41
			Isha late, after the middle of the night,
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:42
			his prayer will still be valid.
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:45
			But it's not the recommended time for a
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:46
			person to pray Isha.
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:50
			So, a person prays Isha once it has
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:52
			completely gone dark, and once there's no more
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:54
			light in the sky until the middle of
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:58
			the night, and if for whatever circumstances, whatever
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:00
			the case may be, due to an emergency
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:03
			or whatever issue there was, if he ends
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:05
			up praying after the middle of the night,
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:08
			then the Salah is still valid.
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:14
			And the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:23
			him, he would delay the Isha Salah.
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:25
			So with the other prayers, it's encouraged to
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:26
			pray them early.
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:28
			It's encouraged to pray them early.
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:30
			With regards to the Isha Salah, the Prophet,
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:33
			peace be upon him, he would try to
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:36
			delay the Isha Salah, and it was the
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:37
			habit of the Prophet, peace be upon him,
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:41
			that he wouldn't do anything after Isha.
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:42
			He would sleep.
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46
			And the Sunnah is that when a person
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:49
			prays Isha, that he shouldn't waste his time
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:51
			going out, going here and there, and chilling
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:54
			with people, going out to eat, etc.
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:58
			What's encouraged and what's recommended, based on the
		
00:27:58 --> 00:27:59
			Hadith of the Prophet, peace be upon him,
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:02
			is that a person should go to sleep
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:04
			after Isha, or at least he should prepare
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:05
			to go to sleep.
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:09
			Meaning, you know, the whole idea of the
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:11
			night is young, let's go out and chill
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:13
			out with our friends and have fun and
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:16
			go out until midnight and come back late,
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:18
			that isn't the Sunnah of the Prophet, peace
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:19
			be upon him.
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:21
			He would sleep after Isha.
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:23
			What's the wisdom behind sleeping after Isha?
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:27
			A number of reasons.
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:29
			What's the main reason for sleeping early, brothers
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:30
			and sisters?
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:34
			To be able to wake up for Salat
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:35
			al-Fajr.
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:36
			To wake up for Fajr.
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:40
			The main benefit of sleeping early is to
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:40
			wake up for Fajr.
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:43
			How many times have we slept late?
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:46
			12 o'clock, 1 o'clock, 2 o
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:48
			'clock in the morning, and then a person
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:49
			can't get up for Fajr because he was
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:52
			just chilling, relaxing with his friends or watching
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:55
			something or going out somewhere or playing games
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:56
			or whatever it was.
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:58
			Then you struggle to wake up for Fajr.
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:00
			So anything which is going to affect you
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:04
			waking up for Fajr, it needs to be
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:07
			avoided and a person, once he prays Isha,
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:09
			his mindset should be now, he should be
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:11
			preparing for bed and going to sleep with
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:13
			the goal and the intention of waking up
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:13
			for Fajr.
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:19
			And it's amazing sometimes people wake up 2,
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:23
			3, 4 o'clock in the morning with
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:26
			excitement if there's a live event taking place,
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:28
			if there's a boxing match or if there's
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:31
			an MMA, UFC event or something.
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:34
			MashaAllah, a person wakes up early, he's ready,
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:36
			he puts his alarms on, he wakes up
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:38
			and watches those fights at 3 o'clock
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:39
			in the morning, 4 o'clock in the
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:40
			morning.
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:42
			And you think to yourself if you can
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:44
			get up for those fights, I'm sure you
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:46
			can make the effort to wake up for
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:47
			Salah which is much more important.
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:50
			But now Salah is too hard, it's too
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:50
			difficult.
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:52
			So it's about a person's mindset.
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:57
			It's about what he considers to be important
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:58
			and valuable.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:01
			So it's something one needs to really reflect
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:02
			on.
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:05
			You know, the Salah, it's so important in
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:06
			our lives.
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:08
			It's something which is a connection between us
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:10
			and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala neglecting Salatul
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:12
			Fajr and then being able to wake up
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:15
			for other reasons, even if it's for travelling
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:17
			purposes for example, a job interview, you have
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:19
			to travel very far to go somewhere.
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:21
			You may have to go before Fajr maybe.
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:24
			It just shows sometimes our priorities and how
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:26
			we don't have the Salah as our main
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:28
			priorities in our lives.
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:31
			So what's recommended is for a person to
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:33
			sleep or to prepare to sleep after Salah
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:35
			if for whatever reason he isn't able to
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:38
			because he has some things he has to
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:39
			have done.
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:41
			For example, in the winter in this country
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:44
			Salah is at 7.30. We just prayed
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:49
			Salatul Isha and maybe people eat dinner after
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:49
			Isha.
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:54
			Maybe people if they have families they're getting
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:56
			ready to put their children to bed for
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:56
			example.
		
00:30:57 --> 00:30:58
			They spend some time with their spouses.
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:01
			So maybe they have certain things that they
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:03
			do or maybe they have other needs.
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:04
			Maybe they have other needs.
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:06
			They have to take care of maybe some
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:07
			family members.
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:08
			Maybe they have other requirements.
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:13
			If it's not used for just wasting time
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:15
			then of course there's nothing wrong with a
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:18
			person staying awake after Isha until he gets
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:20
			done what he needs to get done.
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:21
			But it's all about the mindset.
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:24
			The mindset is supposed to be after Isha
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:28
			that you're winding down for the day and
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:29
			the intention should be to wake up for
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:31
			Fajr early next morning.
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:34
			Another benefit also is it helps a person
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:35
			to be able to fast.
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:37
			Especially considering Ramadan is coming up in the
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:38
			next couple of months.
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:42
			Train yourself to sleep early so that you
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:46
			can wake up just 25 minutes before the
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:47
			beginning of Fajr.
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:49
			So that you can have some food, have
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:51
			some Suhoor and then you can start fasting.
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:54
			The best times to fast brothers and sisters
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:54
			is right now.
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:56
			This time of the year.
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:58
			Last month, December, this month.
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:01
			Because the days are short.
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:03
			Fajr is a bit later.
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:04
			You can wake up at 6 o'clock
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:04
			in the morning.
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:06
			You can have Suhoor and then you can
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:06
			fast.
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:08
			And you break your fast while you're at
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:08
			work.
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:11
			Or if you're studying, maybe when you come
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:12
			back or just after you come back, you've
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:13
			broken your fast.
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:22
			Because there's no Juma'ah now.
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:29
			So with regards to sleeping early after Isha,
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:30
			it has its benefits.
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:32
			Not just a person waking up for Fajr
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:35
			but also a person waking up for Suhoor
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:36
			and being able to fast.
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:39
			And that's another benefit with regards to sleeping
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:39
			early after Isha.
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:41
			Then we move on to Fajr Salah.
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:43
			When does Fajr Salah begin?
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:49
			They say, It's when you see the white
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:51
			line along the horizon.
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:52
			Okay.
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:57
			So in essence, during the night basically it's
		
00:32:57 --> 00:32:58
			dark.
		
00:32:58 --> 00:33:03
			Once you start seeing a white line in
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:06
			the horizon and you start seeing signs of
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:08
			light in the sky.
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:09
			Okay.
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:10
			It's not completely light.
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:12
			Okay.
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:14
			But you start to see more light in
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:14
			the sky.
		
00:33:15 --> 00:33:16
			It's light than it was before.
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:17
			Maybe before it was pitch black.
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:20
			But the colour of the sky starts to
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:22
			change and the scholars they say in Ahadith
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:26
			that you see a white line along the
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:26
			horizon.
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:31
			Then that's when Salatul Fajr comes in and
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:35
			Salatul Fajr ends when the sun has risen.
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:39
			Once the sun has risen that's when Salatul
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:40
			Fajr ends.
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:41
			That's why for example in your timetables you'll
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:42
			see sunrise.
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:44
			Because after sunrise there is no Fajr.
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:47
			That's why it's very important for a person
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:49
			to pray during those times.
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:51
			So those are the times of the Salawat.
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:55
			And the Prophet ﷺ he said, whoever forgets
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:59
			the Salah or he oversleeps and doesn't pray
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:03
			them then he should pray whenever he remembers
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:03
			them.
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:06
			There is no expiation for him.
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:08
			So as soon as he remembers to pray
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:10
			then he should pray.
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:12
			But again brothers and sisters there is a
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:15
			clear difference between a person who wakes up
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:16
			late for Fajr every day and just prays
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:18
			at 10 o'clock in the morning before
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:19
			he goes to work or 9 o'clock
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:22
			in the morning every day and somebody who's
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:25
			praying Fajr every single day on time.
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:27
			Maybe in the Masjid.
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:29
			There's a big difference.
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:32
			So meaning you can't always make the excuse
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:33
			that, oh I woke up late.
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:36
			And this hadith is saying it's fine because
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:38
			I'll just pray whenever I wake up.
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:40
			It's a sign of a person's negligence.
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:43
			And what he again, what he takes seriously
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:44
			in his life.
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:46
			Because you wouldn't do that for work.
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:49
			You're late for work once, you're in trouble
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:51
			in the week or in a month maybe.
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:54
			So it's not something which has anything to
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:56
			do with what's permitted.
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:58
			It's about what we understand as serious.
		
00:34:59 --> 00:35:00
			You can't compare the two people.
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:03
			One who prays Fajr on time every single
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:05
			day and the other person who doesn't pray
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:07
			on time for every single day of his
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:08
			week.
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:09
			It's just not the same.
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:11
			The quality and the reward is not going
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:12
			to be the same.
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:14
			It's very clear that one person will be
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:16
			getting much more reward than the other because
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:19
			of his vigilance and his diligence when it
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:20
			comes to the Salah.
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:24
			So that's with regards to the Salah times.
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:26
			Moving on to the next condition of Salah
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:30
			which is covering the Aura.
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:39
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says Adorn yourselves
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:41
			when you go to the Masjid.
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:43
			And the scholars they say this also is
		
00:35:43 --> 00:35:46
			referring to a person covering his Aura.
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:49
			And when it comes to the Aura itself
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:52
			with regards to one's clothing it has to
		
00:35:52 --> 00:35:54
			of course be pure and it cannot be
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:55
			see-through.
		
00:35:56 --> 00:35:58
			The clothes have to be clean and they
		
00:35:58 --> 00:35:59
			cannot be see-through.
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:02
			And for the man the Aura is from
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:03
			the belly button to the knees.
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:06
			The belly button to the knees.
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:08
			And the scholars say it's also recommended for
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:10
			a person to cover his shoulders.
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:14
			So his belly button to his knees and
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:15
			his shoulders should be covered.
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:17
			And for the woman it's her whole body
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:20
			except for her face, her hands and her
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:20
			feet.
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:24
			That's the Aura of the man and the
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:25
			Aura of the woman.
		
00:36:25 --> 00:36:29
			Then you have third condition which is removal
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:32
			of any kind of impurity.
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:34
			Removal of any kind of impurity.
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:36
			Three things have to be pure in order
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:37
			for a person to pray.
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:39
			What are those three things?
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:45
			Very good.
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:46
			The body needs to be clean.
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:52
			Whether that's for example by performing Ghusl or
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:52
			by doing Wudu.
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:56
			Or by removing any impurity from your body.
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:58
			If you went to the bathroom for example
		
00:36:58 --> 00:36:59
			you clean yourself properly.
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:02
			Your clothes need to be clean.
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:04
			So if there's any impurity because you were
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:07
			outside that went on your clothes.
		
00:37:08 --> 00:37:10
			If there was for example any impurity on
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:11
			your clothes as a result of you going
		
00:37:11 --> 00:37:14
			to the bathroom that needs to be removed
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:14
			also.
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:17
			And then impurities on wherever you're praying.
		
00:37:18 --> 00:37:20
			So wherever you're praying needs to be impure.
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:24
			And if a person isn't sure whether or
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:26
			not where he's praying is clean.
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:27
			Maybe he's praying in the park or he's
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:28
			praying somewhere outdoors.
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:29
			He doesn't know.
		
00:37:30 --> 00:37:32
			Maybe an animal did something there but he
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:32
			just can't see it.
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:34
			Maybe there was some alcohol dropped there.
		
00:37:34 --> 00:37:35
			He doesn't know.
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:36
			What does he do?
		
00:37:37 --> 00:37:38
			Bana ala al yaqeen.
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:41
			He makes his mind.
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:44
			He bases his decision on what he is
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:45
			sure of.
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:49
			And the basic principle of land generally is
		
00:37:49 --> 00:37:51
			that it's pure.
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:52
			It's pure.
		
00:37:52 --> 00:37:55
			A person can pray wherever he is able
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:55
			to.
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:58
			Wherever he can or wherever he wants to.
		
00:37:59 --> 00:38:01
			And it's considered to be pure.
		
00:38:01 --> 00:38:03
			Ju'ilat li al ardu masjidun wa tahura.
		
00:38:03 --> 00:38:05
			The Prophet ﷺ said the whole earth has
		
00:38:05 --> 00:38:07
			been made a place of prayer and it's
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:08
			a purifying place.
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:10
			That's why we do tiammum on the ground.
		
00:38:11 --> 00:38:11
			Because it's purifying.
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:13
			So unless there's evidence.
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:16
			Clear evidence to the contrary.
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:20
			The basic principle is that certainty isn't removed
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:21
			by doubt.
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:23
			So you're in the park.
		
00:38:23 --> 00:38:24
			It's Salah time.
		
00:38:25 --> 00:38:25
			And you're about to pray.
		
00:38:25 --> 00:38:26
			You think you know what?
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:27
			Maybe an animal did something here.
		
00:38:28 --> 00:38:29
			Let me go somewhere else.
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:30
			Let me go ten meters over there.
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:32
			You go ten meters over there.
		
00:38:32 --> 00:38:33
			You're about to pray.
		
00:38:33 --> 00:38:34
			You think maybe an animal did something here.
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:37
			Twenty meters forward and you're about to pray.
		
00:38:37 --> 00:38:38
			Same thing.
		
00:38:38 --> 00:38:39
			Maybe an animal could have been here as
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:40
			well.
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:42
			And then you're just wandering around.
		
00:38:42 --> 00:38:43
			You're looking for a place to pray and
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:44
			you don't end up praying because you don't
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:46
			know which place is clean and which place
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:46
			is not clean.
		
00:38:47 --> 00:38:49
			So that's not really beneficial for a person
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:50
			if he wants to pray.
		
00:38:50 --> 00:38:52
			It's just causing him to have whisperings.
		
00:38:52 --> 00:38:56
			So he prays unless he literally sees somebody
		
00:38:56 --> 00:38:59
			or hopefully not somebody but he sees an
		
00:38:59 --> 00:39:02
			animal literally doing something in front of him.
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:04
			He knows for sure okay I can't pray
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:04
			here.
		
00:39:05 --> 00:39:06
			That's clear.
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:08
			Now it's the opposite.
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:12
			Now he knows for sure there's something impure
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:13
			here so he can't pray.
		
00:39:14 --> 00:39:15
			And everywhere else is fine.
		
00:39:16 --> 00:39:18
			So he has to make sure his clothes
		
00:39:18 --> 00:39:18
			are clean.
		
00:39:19 --> 00:39:21
			He has to make sure his body is
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:23
			clean and he has to make sure that
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:26
			his place of prayer is going to be
		
00:39:26 --> 00:39:26
			clean.
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:29
			And when we say clean, if a person
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:32
			has mud on his clothes or on his
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:35
			shoes or on his body, can he pray?
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:37
			Yes.
		
00:39:37 --> 00:39:39
			Mud isn't impure.
		
00:39:39 --> 00:39:43
			When we say impure, najis, it's things that
		
00:39:43 --> 00:39:45
			if they are on your clothes or on
		
00:39:45 --> 00:39:46
			your body or on the ground that if
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:48
			they're on there then you can't pray.
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:49
			It's impure.
		
00:39:50 --> 00:39:52
			Meaning human filth.
		
00:39:53 --> 00:39:54
			Things which come out of the private parts.
		
00:39:55 --> 00:39:56
			Animal filth.
		
00:39:57 --> 00:39:59
			Those things are considered impure, najis.
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:02
			So if for example a person had some
		
00:40:02 --> 00:40:03
			mud on his clothes, it's permissible for him
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:04
			to pray.
		
00:40:05 --> 00:40:07
			Because mud in and of itself isn't impure.
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:09
			Because when we do tiyammum, you can do
		
00:40:09 --> 00:40:10
			tiyammum on clay.
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:13
			On glass for example.
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:15
			And there may be some elements of soil
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:15
			on there.
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:17
			And that's something which is permissible.
		
00:40:17 --> 00:40:18
			It's not something which is considered impure.
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:21
			So if you see the impurity, you have
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:23
			to remove the impurity before you pray.
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:27
			The hadith of the Prophet ﷺ, famous hadith
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:30
			when he was about to pray and in
		
00:40:30 --> 00:40:32
			fact he was praying and during salah he
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:33
			took his shoes off.
		
00:40:34 --> 00:40:37
			And the companions praying behind him, this shows
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:40
			us the obedience they had to the Prophet
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:40
			ﷺ.
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:42
			They see the Prophet ﷺ taking his shoes
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:43
			off while he's praying.
		
00:40:44 --> 00:40:46
			And in salah they all take their shoes
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:46
			off.
		
00:40:48 --> 00:40:48
			In salah.
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:50
			After the salah the Prophet ﷺ turns around
		
00:40:50 --> 00:40:51
			and sees them all without their shoes and
		
00:40:51 --> 00:40:53
			he says, why did you take your shoes
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:53
			off?
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:54
			They said, oh messenger of Allah, we saw
		
00:40:54 --> 00:40:55
			you taking your shoes off so we took
		
00:40:55 --> 00:40:56
			our shoes off.
		
00:40:57 --> 00:40:58
			And the Prophet ﷺ said, Jibreel came to
		
00:40:58 --> 00:41:00
			me and told me I had impurities on
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:00
			my shoes.
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:01
			Which is why I took them off.
		
00:41:01 --> 00:41:02
			You didn't need to take your shoes off.
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:05
			So it's a beautiful hadith about the love
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:07
			and the obedience and how much they would
		
00:41:07 --> 00:41:08
			follow the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:10
			But it also shows us impurities on your
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:13
			clothes would have to be removed prior to
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:13
			you praying.
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:19
			So if a person notices during salah, what
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:20
			should he do?
		
00:41:22 --> 00:41:23
			What does he do if he has impurities
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:25
			on his body or on his clothes, for
		
00:41:25 --> 00:41:27
			example, let's say on his clothes.
		
00:41:28 --> 00:41:30
			And he doesn't realize until he starts praying.
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:31
			He notices while he's praying.
		
00:41:34 --> 00:41:35
			He has to stop.
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:37
			I'll just give you the answer.
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:42
			Let's take off the piece of clothing.
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:44
			What did the Prophet ﷺ do?
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:46
			He carried on praying.
		
00:41:47 --> 00:41:49
			He took his shoes off and he carried
		
00:41:49 --> 00:41:50
			on praying.
		
00:41:50 --> 00:41:51
			He didn't start the salah again.
		
00:41:52 --> 00:41:55
			So if your shoes have impurities on them,
		
00:41:56 --> 00:41:58
			if there's impurity on your clothes, if you're
		
00:41:58 --> 00:42:01
			able to take them off, then you should
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:02
			take them off.
		
00:42:02 --> 00:42:04
			If it's your shoes, if it's a jacket
		
00:42:04 --> 00:42:06
			or something like this, you should take it
		
00:42:06 --> 00:42:07
			off and carry on praying.
		
00:42:07 --> 00:42:10
			Obviously, if it's your trousers or something, then
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:12
			you need to break your salah and get
		
00:42:12 --> 00:42:13
			changed and then come back.
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:15
			You don't take your trousers off and carry
		
00:42:15 --> 00:42:17
			on praying because your aura is not covered
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:17
			then.
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:20
			So, in those circumstances, if you're able to
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:23
			take your garments off and then pray, then
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:24
			you can carry on praying.
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:26
			Otherwise, you'd have to start your salah again,
		
00:42:27 --> 00:42:30
			break your salah, remove the impure pieces of
		
00:42:30 --> 00:42:33
			clothing or wash those parts of the clothes
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:35
			which are dirty and then restart the salah
		
00:42:35 --> 00:42:36
			again.
		
00:42:38 --> 00:42:41
			Also, places where it's not permissible for you
		
00:42:41 --> 00:42:42
			to pray.
		
00:42:42 --> 00:42:44
			Not only is it not permissible for you
		
00:42:44 --> 00:42:45
			to pray in impure places, it's also not
		
00:42:45 --> 00:42:47
			permissible for you to pray in other places
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:51
			such as the cemetery, by the grave itself
		
00:42:51 --> 00:42:53
			or on the grave itself.
		
00:42:53 --> 00:42:57
			If, for example, a person is praying surat
		
00:42:57 --> 00:43:01
			al-janazah beside the grave, that would be
		
00:43:01 --> 00:43:02
			permitted.
		
00:43:03 --> 00:43:05
			But a person praying other salawat wouldn't be
		
00:43:05 --> 00:43:05
			allowed.
		
00:43:06 --> 00:43:08
			There are narrations of the Prophet ﷺ praying
		
00:43:08 --> 00:43:11
			surat al-janazah later on because he wasn't
		
00:43:11 --> 00:43:15
			told about his salah, about the janazah prayer.
		
00:43:15 --> 00:43:17
			And so he prayed beside the grave.
		
00:43:17 --> 00:43:19
			Otherwise, when it comes to other salawat, it
		
00:43:19 --> 00:43:21
			wouldn't be permissible for a person to pray
		
00:43:21 --> 00:43:22
			those salawat.
		
00:43:24 --> 00:43:27
			Also, when it comes to the bathroom, akramakumullah,
		
00:43:27 --> 00:43:28
			it wouldn't be permissible for a person to
		
00:43:28 --> 00:43:31
			pray in the bathroom unless it's a necessity.
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:33
			Why would it be a necessity?
		
00:43:35 --> 00:43:36
			Let's say you go into the bathroom.
		
00:43:37 --> 00:43:38
			You're almost late for fajr.
		
00:43:38 --> 00:43:39
			You need to pray fajr.
		
00:43:40 --> 00:43:41
			You go to the bathroom to do wudu.
		
00:43:41 --> 00:43:42
			You try to open the door.
		
00:43:43 --> 00:43:44
			It was jammed.
		
00:43:45 --> 00:43:46
			There's nobody else in the house.
		
00:43:47 --> 00:43:48
			For some reason, the door won't open.
		
00:43:48 --> 00:43:48
			You're stuck.
		
00:43:50 --> 00:43:51
			What do you do now?
		
00:43:51 --> 00:43:51
			You have wudu.
		
00:43:52 --> 00:43:53
			You have five minutes left.
		
00:43:53 --> 00:43:55
			No one to open the door.
		
00:43:55 --> 00:43:56
			You can't call anybody.
		
00:43:57 --> 00:43:59
			Maybe you're in a place where no one
		
00:43:59 --> 00:43:59
			can reach you.
		
00:44:00 --> 00:44:02
			In those circumstances, you try your best to
		
00:44:02 --> 00:44:04
			find a place where you would assume that
		
00:44:04 --> 00:44:06
			it's pure, clean, and then you pray there
		
00:44:06 --> 00:44:07
			because you have no other choice.
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:16
			Excellent.
		
00:44:18 --> 00:44:21
			People, for example, who are in families who
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:24
			are non-Muslim and they're not able to
		
00:44:24 --> 00:44:26
			find a place where they're able to pray
		
00:44:26 --> 00:44:27
			because if they do pray in front of
		
00:44:27 --> 00:44:29
			their families, maybe the family will cause them
		
00:44:29 --> 00:44:31
			harm, throw them out of the house, etc.
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:32
			So they end up praying maybe in the
		
00:44:32 --> 00:44:34
			bathroom as a result of this.
		
00:44:34 --> 00:44:36
			So in those extreme circumstances, it would be
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:36
			permissible.
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:39
			Otherwise, you wouldn't be allowed to pray in
		
00:44:39 --> 00:44:39
			those places.
		
00:44:40 --> 00:44:43
			Also, as we mentioned before, the stables where
		
00:44:43 --> 00:44:44
			camels are kept.
		
00:44:45 --> 00:44:46
			Narrations of the Prophet ﷺ mention it's not
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:48
			permissible for a person to pray there.
		
00:44:49 --> 00:44:50
			Another condition of salah.
		
00:44:50 --> 00:44:52
			This is the fourth condition of salah.
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:55
			Facing the Qibla.
		
00:44:55 --> 00:44:57
			Facing the Qibla.
		
00:44:57 --> 00:45:04
			Allah says, Face your faces towards al-Masjid
		
00:45:04 --> 00:45:05
			al-Haram.
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:08
			Meaning the Haram in Mecca.
		
00:45:08 --> 00:45:11
			So the Qibla is towards Mecca.
		
00:45:11 --> 00:45:13
			Of course, in the past, it was towards
		
00:45:13 --> 00:45:15
			Jerusalem in the time of the Prophet ﷺ
		
00:45:15 --> 00:45:17
			and then it was changed towards Mecca.
		
00:45:18 --> 00:45:20
			So what if you're not aware of the
		
00:45:20 --> 00:45:21
			location of the Qibla?
		
00:45:22 --> 00:45:24
			Let's say you don't have a phone.
		
00:45:25 --> 00:45:26
			You crash somewhere.
		
00:45:26 --> 00:45:26
			There's an island.
		
00:45:28 --> 00:45:29
			You don't know what's going on.
		
00:45:29 --> 00:45:31
			You don't know which direction the Qibla is.
		
00:45:32 --> 00:45:32
			You're not sure.
		
00:45:33 --> 00:45:34
			What do you do?
		
00:45:35 --> 00:45:39
			If there are people around, you can ask
		
00:45:39 --> 00:45:39
			them.
		
00:45:39 --> 00:45:41
			If you have devices that work, you can
		
00:45:41 --> 00:45:42
			use them.
		
00:45:42 --> 00:45:44
			But if there's no people around, no devices,
		
00:45:46 --> 00:45:47
			what do you do then?
		
00:45:48 --> 00:45:49
			Pray anywhere.
		
00:45:52 --> 00:45:55
			But if you're in this country, then really
		
00:45:55 --> 00:45:59
			we should have some bearing about directions.
		
00:46:00 --> 00:46:04
			Because I never had phones and things in
		
00:46:04 --> 00:46:05
			those days.
		
00:46:06 --> 00:46:11
			So, for example, we know which direction the
		
00:46:11 --> 00:46:12
			sun rises from.
		
00:46:14 --> 00:46:16
			It is the east.
		
00:46:17 --> 00:46:19
			The sun sets in the west.
		
00:46:19 --> 00:46:20
			So if you see the sun and the
		
00:46:20 --> 00:46:24
			sun is rising and it's going higher, then
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:26
			you know the sun is towards the east.
		
00:46:27 --> 00:46:28
			It's in that direction.
		
00:46:29 --> 00:46:31
			And if you know that's east, then you'll
		
00:46:31 --> 00:46:34
			know the other side is west.
		
00:46:34 --> 00:46:37
			And if this is east, for example, if
		
00:46:37 --> 00:46:40
			this is east and that's west, where's north?
		
00:46:43 --> 00:46:44
			North would be in the middle.
		
00:46:44 --> 00:46:46
			Well, north would be that way.
		
00:46:48 --> 00:46:53
			North, east, north, east, south and west.
		
00:46:53 --> 00:46:54
			Okay, never?
		
00:46:56 --> 00:46:56
			Eat?
		
00:46:56 --> 00:46:57
			Shredded?
		
00:46:58 --> 00:46:58
			Meat?
		
00:46:58 --> 00:46:59
			Naughty?
		
00:47:00 --> 00:47:01
			No one knows that one?
		
00:47:01 --> 00:47:02
			Naughty elephant?
		
00:47:03 --> 00:47:03
			Squirts?
		
00:47:05 --> 00:47:05
			Water?
		
00:47:06 --> 00:47:08
			Whatever way you want to learn.
		
00:47:09 --> 00:47:10
			It should be north, east, south, west.
		
00:47:10 --> 00:47:12
			The point is, once you know east, you
		
00:47:12 --> 00:47:13
			know west.
		
00:47:13 --> 00:47:14
			Once you know east and west, you know
		
00:47:14 --> 00:47:15
			north and you know south.
		
00:47:15 --> 00:47:17
			And if you're stranded somewhere in this country,
		
00:47:18 --> 00:47:20
			the Qibla is roughly southeast.
		
00:47:21 --> 00:47:24
			So you'll have an idea and you'll be
		
00:47:24 --> 00:47:27
			able to find the Qibla in that way.
		
00:47:27 --> 00:47:29
			If, of course, it's night time or there's
		
00:47:29 --> 00:47:30
			clouds, etc.
		
00:47:30 --> 00:47:31
			What do you do in those situations?
		
00:47:32 --> 00:47:34
			You try your best, you try to estimate
		
00:47:34 --> 00:47:37
			the direction of the Qibla and you pray.
		
00:47:37 --> 00:47:41
			Because, again, فَتَقُّ اللَّهَ بَسْ تَعْطُمْ Fear Allah
		
00:47:41 --> 00:47:41
			as much as you can.
		
00:47:42 --> 00:47:42
			You're trying your best.
		
00:47:42 --> 00:47:43
			There's nothing else you can do.
		
00:47:44 --> 00:47:46
			You try all the means necessary and then
		
00:47:46 --> 00:47:47
			you try your best and you just pray.
		
00:47:47 --> 00:47:51
			So, in those circumstances, it is permitted for
		
00:47:51 --> 00:47:53
			a person to pray in any direction because
		
00:47:53 --> 00:47:56
			he doesn't know the direction of the Qibla
		
00:47:56 --> 00:47:58
			as long as he tries his best.
		
00:47:58 --> 00:48:00
			And there are other reasons why a person
		
00:48:00 --> 00:48:02
			may not be able to face the Qibla.
		
00:48:04 --> 00:48:09
			From them is عند إشتداد الحرب عند إشتداد
		
00:48:09 --> 00:48:14
			الحرب during fighting, wars, battles, when the fighting
		
00:48:14 --> 00:48:18
			becomes intense and you're not able to turn
		
00:48:18 --> 00:48:19
			away from the enemy.
		
00:48:21 --> 00:48:23
			And that's also known as صراط الخوف, the
		
00:48:23 --> 00:48:27
			prayer of fear which was legislated for the
		
00:48:27 --> 00:48:31
			Muslims during battles, during times of war, where
		
00:48:31 --> 00:48:34
			the condition of facing the Qibla would be
		
00:48:34 --> 00:48:35
			dropped in those extreme circumstances.
		
00:48:36 --> 00:48:37
			Also, if a person is very, very sick,
		
00:48:38 --> 00:48:40
			maybe he can't get up, he can't stand,
		
00:48:40 --> 00:48:42
			he can't move, and so he can face
		
00:48:42 --> 00:48:45
			that direction that he's sitting in.
		
00:48:45 --> 00:48:50
			Also, another common situation in our times if
		
00:48:50 --> 00:48:54
			we are on an aeroplane, or if we're
		
00:48:54 --> 00:48:56
			on a train, and we're not able to
		
00:48:56 --> 00:48:58
			find a place to pray and face the
		
00:48:58 --> 00:49:01
			Qibla, then it's permitted for us to pray
		
00:49:01 --> 00:49:05
			in whichever direction the aeroplane is going because,
		
00:49:05 --> 00:49:06
			again, there's not much choice.
		
00:49:06 --> 00:49:08
			If you're able to find a place, that's
		
00:49:08 --> 00:49:08
			fine.
		
00:49:09 --> 00:49:11
			Sometimes, you're not able to find a place.
		
00:49:11 --> 00:49:12
			In fact, most of the time you won't
		
00:49:12 --> 00:49:13
			be able to find a place unless you're
		
00:49:13 --> 00:49:14
			on Saudi Airlines.
		
00:49:14 --> 00:49:18
			Saudi Airlines have actual prayer rooms, prayer areas
		
00:49:18 --> 00:49:18
			for you to pray.
		
00:49:19 --> 00:49:20
			I don't know of any other airlines that
		
00:49:20 --> 00:49:20
			do that.
		
00:49:21 --> 00:49:24
			Sometimes people use the exit area, so if
		
00:49:24 --> 00:49:26
			you have the exit seat in front of
		
00:49:26 --> 00:49:29
			the exit seats where the door is, they'll
		
00:49:29 --> 00:49:31
			have a small area there, but again, it
		
00:49:31 --> 00:49:35
			depends on who's there and sometimes it's not
		
00:49:35 --> 00:49:37
			comfortable praying there, and they might tell you
		
00:49:37 --> 00:49:41
			to move, or, you know, sometimes it just
		
00:49:41 --> 00:49:44
			might not be the best place to pray
		
00:49:44 --> 00:49:46
			or the most appropriate place to pray, but
		
00:49:46 --> 00:49:48
			if it's fine and you can pray there,
		
00:49:48 --> 00:49:50
			of course, then it would be permissible.
		
00:49:50 --> 00:49:54
			So, during travel also, it could be permitted
		
00:49:54 --> 00:49:56
			for a person not to face the Qibla.
		
00:49:57 --> 00:50:00
			Another condition for the conditions of Salah, something
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:03
			we haven't mentioned yet, number five, very important,
		
00:50:04 --> 00:50:07
			a condition for all actions, intention.
		
00:50:07 --> 00:50:11
			So, having the correct intention, having the intention
		
00:50:11 --> 00:50:14
			to pray that specific Salah, and again, as
		
00:50:14 --> 00:50:15
			we said before, intentions are done in the
		
00:50:15 --> 00:50:16
			heart.
		
00:50:16 --> 00:50:19
			A person doesn't say anything, it's something which
		
00:50:19 --> 00:50:19
			is done in the heart.
		
00:50:20 --> 00:50:22
			Like we said before, if you wake up
		
00:50:22 --> 00:50:24
			for Fajr, and you go and do Wudu,
		
00:50:25 --> 00:50:29
			okay, and then you're about to pray, you
		
00:50:29 --> 00:50:31
			did Wudu because you're about to pray which
		
00:50:31 --> 00:50:31
			Salah?
		
00:50:32 --> 00:50:33
			Fajr.
		
00:50:34 --> 00:50:35
			Why are you awake?
		
00:50:37 --> 00:50:37
			Pray.
		
00:50:38 --> 00:50:39
			Fajr, not Maghrib.
		
00:50:41 --> 00:50:42
			So, it's not something which is really, really
		
00:50:43 --> 00:50:44
			hard to do.
		
00:50:44 --> 00:50:47
			It's an important part of Salah, of course,
		
00:50:48 --> 00:50:49
			but meaning it's not supposed to be something
		
00:50:49 --> 00:50:50
			very complicated.
		
00:50:50 --> 00:50:53
			You don't have to stand there for 30
		
00:50:53 --> 00:50:55
			seconds and really psych yourself up to tell
		
00:50:55 --> 00:50:57
			yourself and to convince yourself you're praying Fajr.
		
00:50:58 --> 00:50:59
			It's very clear you're praying Fajr.
		
00:51:00 --> 00:51:01
			It's 6 o'clock in the morning, 5
		
00:51:01 --> 00:51:02
			o'clock in the morning, you're not going
		
00:51:02 --> 00:51:03
			to be praying Isha.
		
00:51:04 --> 00:51:05
			It's very clear you're praying Fajr.
		
00:51:05 --> 00:51:07
			You don't need to, you know, make that,
		
00:51:07 --> 00:51:09
			because sometimes people have Waswasa.
		
00:51:11 --> 00:51:12
			You know, one of the Mashaikh told me,
		
00:51:13 --> 00:51:15
			he was saying that, you know, once he
		
00:51:15 --> 00:51:19
			saw somebody raise his hands and he started
		
00:51:19 --> 00:51:21
			the Salah, and then he dropped his hands
		
00:51:21 --> 00:51:22
			and he was shaking his head.
		
00:51:24 --> 00:51:25
			Basically saying, no, no, I haven't made proper
		
00:51:25 --> 00:51:26
			intention.
		
00:51:26 --> 00:51:28
			Then he made the intention again, then he
		
00:51:28 --> 00:51:29
			started the Salah.
		
00:51:30 --> 00:51:31
			But it's very clear, if you're in the
		
00:51:31 --> 00:51:33
			Masjid and you're praying Isha, as we all
		
00:51:33 --> 00:51:36
			just prayed Isha, it's very clear we're all
		
00:51:36 --> 00:51:36
			praying Isha.
		
00:51:37 --> 00:51:40
			Unless, of course, and this can happen, genuinely
		
00:51:40 --> 00:51:42
			a person comes and he's about to pray
		
00:51:42 --> 00:51:45
			Isha, and it happens, a person genuinely thinks
		
00:51:45 --> 00:51:47
			he's praying Maghrib.
		
00:51:47 --> 00:51:48
			It does happen sometimes.
		
00:51:49 --> 00:51:49
			It can happen, isn't it?
		
00:51:50 --> 00:51:51
			It's not unusual.
		
00:51:51 --> 00:51:55
			Maybe a person is thinking about Asr Salah,
		
00:51:55 --> 00:51:57
			because Asr Salah is coming and he hasn't
		
00:51:57 --> 00:51:57
			prayed Dhuhr.
		
00:51:58 --> 00:52:02
			So when he starts praying, he thinks he's
		
00:52:02 --> 00:52:02
			praying Asr.
		
00:52:03 --> 00:52:04
			But in fact he was supposed to pray
		
00:52:05 --> 00:52:05
			Dhuhr.
		
00:52:06 --> 00:52:07
			Would that Salah be valid then?
		
00:52:08 --> 00:52:11
			It wouldn't be valid because he's supposed to
		
00:52:11 --> 00:52:13
			be praying Dhuhr.
		
00:52:13 --> 00:52:16
			And he made the intention for Asr, assuming
		
00:52:16 --> 00:52:18
			that he's praying Asr.
		
00:52:18 --> 00:52:18
			Do you understand?
		
00:52:18 --> 00:52:20
			So sometimes it can happen.
		
00:52:20 --> 00:52:21
			It may be the case that a person
		
00:52:21 --> 00:52:23
			may make the wrong intention.
		
00:52:24 --> 00:52:25
			And if that ever happens, he stops the
		
00:52:25 --> 00:52:27
			Salah, and he begins the Salah again with
		
00:52:27 --> 00:52:28
			the correct intention.
		
00:52:29 --> 00:52:33
			You can't switch intentions for obligatory Salawat in
		
00:52:33 --> 00:52:34
			Salah itself.
		
00:52:35 --> 00:52:37
			Because what did we say about conditions?
		
00:52:38 --> 00:52:39
			What's the whole point of a condition?
		
00:52:41 --> 00:52:44
			Something that has to be done before the
		
00:52:44 --> 00:52:44
			act itself.
		
00:52:45 --> 00:52:47
			Before an act can be fulfilled.
		
00:52:47 --> 00:52:49
			Or something that has to be fulfilled before
		
00:52:49 --> 00:52:50
			that act can be accepted.
		
00:52:51 --> 00:52:53
			So conditions have to be done before or
		
00:52:53 --> 00:52:55
			a prerequisite as the brother mentioned.
		
00:52:55 --> 00:52:59
			So, with that, Inshallah, we'll be concluding.
		
00:52:59 --> 00:53:00
			These are the conditions of Salah.
		
00:53:01 --> 00:53:04
			Fairly straightforward, but it's something which we always
		
00:53:04 --> 00:53:05
			need to remind ourselves of.
		
00:53:06 --> 00:53:07
			And we'll conclude here.
		
00:53:07 --> 00:53:08
			Jazakumullah khair.
		
00:53:08 --> 00:53:09
			Any questions before we finish?
		
00:53:30 --> 00:53:33
			So, with regards to praying Isha, the Prophet,
		
00:53:33 --> 00:53:40
			salallahu wasalam, he would encourage people to delay
		
00:53:40 --> 00:53:41
			the Salah.
		
00:53:41 --> 00:53:45
			However, as we said, praying in congregation is
		
00:53:45 --> 00:53:47
			always better than praying by yourself.
		
00:53:47 --> 00:53:48
			And the Prophet, salallahu wasalam, would always pray
		
00:53:49 --> 00:53:51
			the Salawat in the Masajid and they would
		
00:53:51 --> 00:53:52
			have a specified time.
		
00:53:52 --> 00:53:54
			So, it's better for a person to pray
		
00:53:54 --> 00:53:56
			in congregation as opposed to praying by himself.
		
00:53:57 --> 00:53:59
			Because congregational prayer is generally better.
		
00:53:59 --> 00:54:00
			Even if it's a bit late.
		
00:54:00 --> 00:54:01
			Even if it's a bit earlier, for example.
		
00:54:13 --> 00:54:14
			Yeah, that's fine.
		
00:54:14 --> 00:54:16
			So, as we said, I'm not sure if
		
00:54:16 --> 00:54:19
			I mentioned this, delaying Isha is fine.
		
00:54:19 --> 00:54:21
			Delaying Isha is permissible.
		
00:54:21 --> 00:54:27
			Delaying Isha is recommended unlike other Salawat.
		
00:54:28 --> 00:54:29
			But if a person has the choice to
		
00:54:29 --> 00:54:31
			delay Isha or to pray in congregation, praying
		
00:54:31 --> 00:54:32
			in congregation is better.
		
00:54:49 --> 00:54:52
			So, the arms don't have to be covered
		
00:54:52 --> 00:54:53
			as long as the shoulders are covered.
		
00:54:55 --> 00:54:57
			So, the Aura is from the navel, where
		
00:54:57 --> 00:55:00
			the belly button begins to the knees, and
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:01
			the shoulders have to be covered.
		
00:55:01 --> 00:55:03
			But if you're covering the shoulders, most of
		
00:55:03 --> 00:55:04
			the time you'll be wearing a shirt or
		
00:55:04 --> 00:55:06
			a t-shirt or something.
		
00:55:07 --> 00:55:08
			So, the arms will be covered.
		
00:55:08 --> 00:55:10
			But if, for whatever reason, a person has,
		
00:55:10 --> 00:55:15
			let's say, sleeveless tops, maybe the ones you
		
00:55:15 --> 00:55:17
			wear to go to the gym or something
		
00:55:17 --> 00:55:20
			where it's cut very high up, as long
		
00:55:20 --> 00:55:22
			as the shoulders are covered, it's fine.
		
00:55:36 --> 00:55:39
			So, if you have, for example, things on
		
00:55:39 --> 00:55:42
			your arms, tattoos, then if you're able to
		
00:55:42 --> 00:55:46
			remove them and if it doesn't cause harm
		
00:55:46 --> 00:55:49
			physically to your health and doesn't cause too
		
00:55:49 --> 00:55:51
			much pain, and if it's something which financially
		
00:55:51 --> 00:55:53
			you're able to do, then that's something you
		
00:55:53 --> 00:55:53
			should do.
		
00:55:53 --> 00:55:55
			Otherwise, inshallah, because it's something which is out
		
00:55:55 --> 00:55:58
			of nothing you can do about it, as
		
00:55:58 --> 00:56:01
			Allah says, as much as you can, inshallah,
		
00:56:01 --> 00:56:02
			you just continue to pray.
		
00:56:36 --> 00:56:38
			So, as long as a person is praying
		
00:56:38 --> 00:56:40
			before sunrise, his Salah is valid.
		
00:56:41 --> 00:56:43
			And if a person intentionally delays his Salah
		
00:56:43 --> 00:56:45
			until after sunrise, then of course he's going
		
00:56:45 --> 00:56:46
			to be sinful.
		
00:56:46 --> 00:56:49
			And if a person oversleeps or he forgets,
		
00:56:49 --> 00:56:51
			then he should pray as soon as he
		
00:56:51 --> 00:56:52
			wakes up or as soon as he remembers.
		
00:56:53 --> 00:56:57
			But, again, there won't be that's not something
		
00:56:57 --> 00:56:58
			that should be done on a regular basis.
		
00:57:06 --> 00:57:07
			That's fine, that's fine.
		
00:57:07 --> 00:57:10
			Because as long as we're aware of the
		
00:57:10 --> 00:57:13
			actual sunrise, that's the time it will take.
		
00:57:13 --> 00:57:16
			So, whatever the Masajid say, there has to
		
00:57:16 --> 00:57:19
			be an element of reliance and trust from
		
00:57:19 --> 00:57:20
			these Masajid and from these institutions.
		
00:57:20 --> 00:57:23
			If they're wrong, then, you know, inshallah, they'll
		
00:57:23 --> 00:57:25
			get the reward because they tried their best.
		
00:57:25 --> 00:57:27
			And if they intentionally gave us the wrong
		
00:57:27 --> 00:57:29
			time for sunrise, which I would highly doubt,
		
00:57:30 --> 00:57:31
			then of course that's between them and Allah.
		
00:57:35 --> 00:57:35
			Sorry?
		
00:57:39 --> 00:57:39
			Prohibited times.
		
00:57:40 --> 00:57:43
			As we mentioned, during sunrise, unless a person
		
00:57:43 --> 00:57:46
			hasn't prayed the obligatory prayer, Zawwal and during
		
00:57:46 --> 00:57:46
			sunset.
		
00:57:47 --> 00:57:49
			Those times would be not permitted for a
		
00:57:49 --> 00:57:51
			person to pray voluntary prayers.
		
00:58:10 --> 00:58:13
			So, the brother's asking about combining between Salawat.
		
00:58:13 --> 00:58:16
			So, there are reasons why it would be
		
00:58:17 --> 00:58:19
			encouraged for a person to combine.
		
00:58:19 --> 00:58:21
			From those reasons is if you're traveling.
		
00:58:22 --> 00:58:25
			Also, the Prophet ﷺ is known that sometimes
		
00:58:25 --> 00:58:26
			he would combine when he wasn't traveling.
		
00:58:27 --> 00:58:29
			Fajr, Dhuhr and Asr and Maghrib and Isha.
		
00:58:30 --> 00:58:34
			And that's because of either the weather, if
		
00:58:34 --> 00:58:36
			it was raining, because of course rain wasn't
		
00:58:36 --> 00:58:37
			common in those days and it would be
		
00:58:37 --> 00:58:39
			difficult for people to go out.
		
00:58:39 --> 00:58:42
			And so he would combine all as a
		
00:58:42 --> 00:58:43
			result of fear.
		
00:58:44 --> 00:58:48
			A fear of whatever circumstances and situations that
		
00:58:48 --> 00:58:49
			may arise.
		
00:58:49 --> 00:58:52
			And Ibn Abbas ﷺ he said that sometimes
		
00:58:52 --> 00:58:57
			the Prophet ﷺ would combine بدون مطر ولا
		
00:58:57 --> 00:59:00
			خوف بدون مطر ولا خوف not because of
		
00:59:00 --> 00:59:02
			rain and not because of fear.
		
00:59:02 --> 00:59:04
			When he was asked why would he combine
		
00:59:04 --> 00:59:08
			then, he said, so that it wouldn't be
		
00:59:08 --> 00:59:10
			a hardship for people.
		
00:59:10 --> 00:59:12
			To make things easier for people.
		
00:59:13 --> 00:59:14
			So, based on this we can see there
		
00:59:14 --> 00:59:18
			may be some circumstances and the window may
		
00:59:18 --> 00:59:18
			be open.
		
00:59:18 --> 00:59:19
			I'm not going to give a ruling and
		
00:59:19 --> 00:59:21
			say that a person should combine.
		
00:59:21 --> 00:59:24
			But, based on what the Prophet ﷺ did,
		
00:59:24 --> 00:59:30
			based on Ibn Abbas's narration itself, the times
		
00:59:30 --> 00:59:35
			when it should be should be encouraged, or
		
00:59:35 --> 00:59:37
			not encouraged, but permitted for a person to
		
00:59:37 --> 00:59:41
			combine would be during the weather, bad weather,
		
00:59:41 --> 00:59:44
			so in our case not rain necessarily, but
		
00:59:44 --> 00:59:46
			weather in which a person can't travel or
		
00:59:46 --> 00:59:48
			can't go out, which is heavy snow in
		
00:59:48 --> 00:59:49
			our case.
		
00:59:50 --> 00:59:52
			And summer, they may pray when it's heavy
		
00:59:52 --> 00:59:52
			rain.
		
00:59:52 --> 00:59:54
			I know some Masajid that do that.
		
00:59:54 --> 00:59:57
			That's based on Ahadith, it's based on legislation
		
00:59:57 --> 00:59:58
			in the time of the Prophet ﷺ which
		
00:59:58 --> 00:59:59
			would be permitted.
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:04
			So, when Ibn Abbas r.a mentions that
		
01:00:04 --> 01:00:06
			the Prophet ﷺ would pray sometimes in other
		
01:00:06 --> 01:00:10
			situations, in other circumstances, again, one would have
		
01:00:10 --> 01:00:14
			to look into what those specific circumstances were,
		
01:00:15 --> 01:00:18
			because of course it wasn't any circumstance at
		
01:00:18 --> 01:00:21
			any point for any reason.
		
01:00:22 --> 01:00:26
			And Ibn Abbas r.a him mentioning this,
		
01:00:26 --> 01:00:30
			shows us generally speaking, there is a leeway
		
01:00:30 --> 01:00:33
			for people combining as opposed to a person
		
01:00:34 --> 01:00:37
			for a person combining as opposed to a
		
01:00:37 --> 01:00:39
			person shortening, which is only done when he
		
01:00:39 --> 01:00:39
			travels.
		
01:00:40 --> 01:00:42
			But this is something which would require more
		
01:00:42 --> 01:00:45
			research, Inshallah, with regards to the statement of
		
01:00:45 --> 01:00:45
			Ibn Abbas.
		
01:00:46 --> 01:00:50
			But as we said, if there is severe
		
01:00:50 --> 01:00:52
			weather, where it's hard for a person to
		
01:00:52 --> 01:00:54
			shop, where it's hard for a person to
		
01:00:54 --> 01:00:57
			go to work, then in those circumstances it
		
01:00:57 --> 01:00:59
			would be permissible to combine.
		
01:00:59 --> 01:01:01
			But as we said, it's not the norm,
		
01:01:02 --> 01:01:04
			because the general principle is that Salawat are
		
01:01:04 --> 01:01:08
			at specific times, and that's what a person
		
01:01:08 --> 01:01:10
			should try to do as much as possible,
		
01:01:10 --> 01:01:13
			as best as he can, and Inshallah that
		
01:01:13 --> 01:01:14
			would be the best thing for him.
		
01:01:15 --> 01:01:16
			How can a person strive to consistently wake
		
01:01:16 --> 01:01:17
			up for Fajr prayer?
		
01:01:18 --> 01:01:24
			Again, wake, sleeping early, doing your Adhkar before
		
01:01:24 --> 01:01:27
			sleeping, making Dua to Allah, asking Allah that
		
01:01:27 --> 01:01:29
			He gives you the ability, the power, the
		
01:01:29 --> 01:01:30
			strength to be able to wake up for
		
01:01:30 --> 01:01:31
			Fajr.
		
01:01:32 --> 01:01:38
			Consistency, having incentives when waking up, maybe a
		
01:01:38 --> 01:01:42
			person, for example, waking up for Suhoor, okay,
		
01:01:42 --> 01:01:46
			if he's attending on fasting, Mondays and Thursdays,
		
01:01:46 --> 01:01:50
			waking up for Suhoor, having other people, maybe
		
01:01:50 --> 01:01:52
			working with other people to encourage each other
		
01:01:52 --> 01:01:55
			to wake up for Fajr, putting on alarm
		
01:01:55 --> 01:01:58
			clocks, okay, one alarm, two alarms, three alarms,
		
01:01:58 --> 01:02:00
			ten alarms, now Mashallah on our phones we
		
01:02:00 --> 01:02:03
			can have 20, 30, 40, 50 alarms, it's
		
01:02:03 --> 01:02:03
			not a problem.
		
01:02:04 --> 01:02:06
			There's no real reason why a person can't
		
01:02:06 --> 01:02:08
			wake up for Fajr, like I said, it's
		
01:02:08 --> 01:02:10
			all about understanding the importance of the Salawat.
		
01:02:11 --> 01:02:12
			Does a woman have to cover her feet
		
01:02:12 --> 01:02:14
			when she's praying, and can she wear trousers
		
01:02:14 --> 01:02:14
			to pray?
		
01:02:14 --> 01:02:16
			Her whole body has to be covered, she
		
01:02:16 --> 01:02:18
			has to wear an Abaya, something that is
		
01:02:18 --> 01:02:21
			loose fitting to cover the whole body, and
		
01:02:21 --> 01:02:21
			her feet don't have to be covered.
		
01:02:22 --> 01:02:24
			Can you pray Asr 30 minutes before Maghrib?
		
01:02:24 --> 01:02:27
			Again, as we said, Asr Salat ends at
		
01:02:27 --> 01:02:29
			Maghrib time, so it would be permissible, but
		
01:02:29 --> 01:02:31
			the earliest time is always best.
		
01:02:31 --> 01:02:33
			If someone prays Qadha because they overslept, is
		
01:02:33 --> 01:02:37
			there any particular way to pray or to
		
01:02:37 --> 01:02:39
			read because you are praying outside the allocated
		
01:02:39 --> 01:02:39
			prayer time?
		
01:02:39 --> 01:02:41
			So the prayer is still the same.
		
01:02:41 --> 01:02:42
			If you make Qadha and you're making up
		
01:02:42 --> 01:02:44
			a prayer that you've missed, the prayer is
		
01:02:44 --> 01:02:45
			always the same.
		
01:02:46 --> 01:02:47
			There is no difference.
		
01:02:51 --> 01:02:54
			Is manure for herbivores pure or najas?
		
01:02:54 --> 01:02:57
			So generally speaking, any najasa, any filth that
		
01:02:57 --> 01:02:59
			comes out of animals, it would be best
		
01:02:59 --> 01:03:00
			to avoid, inshallah.
		
01:03:00 --> 01:03:01
			Are the needs included in the Urah?
		
01:03:01 --> 01:03:03
			Yes, the needs are included in the Urah.
		
01:03:04 --> 01:03:07
			Again, any kind of faecal matter from any
		
01:03:07 --> 01:03:10
			animal, it would be best for a person
		
01:03:10 --> 01:03:10
			to avoid.
		
01:03:11 --> 01:03:13
			Is it right to assume prayers are valid
		
01:03:13 --> 01:03:17
			if prayed before the next prayer besides Fajr
		
01:03:17 --> 01:03:17
			and Maghrib?
		
01:03:17 --> 01:03:19
			Yes, so if a person prays a Salah
		
01:03:19 --> 01:03:21
			before the next prayer comes in, in essence,
		
01:03:22 --> 01:03:22
			his Salah would be valid.
		
01:03:23 --> 01:03:26
			But as we said, it's about praying early
		
01:03:26 --> 01:03:29
			if that's what's recommended, which is for all
		
01:03:29 --> 01:03:30
			of the Salawat except for Isha.
		
01:03:30 --> 01:03:33
			Because it just shows one's importance to the
		
01:03:33 --> 01:03:33
			Salah.
		
01:03:33 --> 01:03:34
			Also, you know what happens when a person
		
01:03:34 --> 01:03:35
			delays a Salah.
		
01:03:36 --> 01:03:38
			You say, I'll pray in five minutes.
		
01:03:38 --> 01:03:39
			Next minute, you know, three hours have gone
		
01:03:39 --> 01:03:39
			by.
		
01:03:41 --> 01:03:43
			And now maybe the next Salah has come
		
01:03:43 --> 01:03:44
			in and you haven't prayed.
		
01:03:44 --> 01:03:45
			So just pray on time.
		
01:03:46 --> 01:03:46
			Pray early.
		
01:03:46 --> 01:03:49
			In congregation, if you can, or pray early
		
01:03:49 --> 01:03:50
			and then that way, Inshallah, you don't have
		
01:03:50 --> 01:03:51
			to worry about missing the Salah.
		
01:03:52 --> 01:03:54
			Because everything else can be delayed.
		
01:03:54 --> 01:03:55
			Everything else can wait.
		
01:03:55 --> 01:03:57
			Your Salah is the most important thing.
		
01:03:59 --> 01:04:00
			Can you pray Salah in a moving car?
		
01:04:01 --> 01:04:03
			It's permitted to pray in a moving car
		
01:04:03 --> 01:04:06
			with the condition that you're unable to stop
		
01:04:06 --> 01:04:08
			and the Salah time is going to end.
		
01:04:09 --> 01:04:10
			And you're not going to be able to
		
01:04:10 --> 01:04:10
			pray.
		
01:04:12 --> 01:04:14
			I joined, and also if you're traveling, then
		
01:04:14 --> 01:04:16
			you have the concession of being able to
		
01:04:16 --> 01:04:18
			join with the next Salah if you're able
		
01:04:18 --> 01:04:18
			to.
		
01:04:18 --> 01:04:19
			With the exception of Fajr.
		
01:04:20 --> 01:04:22
			I joined Jum'ah Salah late and forgot
		
01:04:22 --> 01:04:23
			when they did Taslim and got up to
		
01:04:23 --> 01:04:26
			continue as I thought I was praying Zuhr.
		
01:04:26 --> 01:04:29
			Was my Salah valid?
		
01:04:30 --> 01:04:33
			As long as you joined the Salah, then
		
01:04:33 --> 01:04:34
			Inshallah, your prayer is valid.
		
01:04:34 --> 01:04:40
			If you had doubts about, if you joined
		
01:04:40 --> 01:04:42
			the Salah, I joined the Salah and forgot
		
01:04:42 --> 01:04:43
			when they did Taslim.
		
01:04:45 --> 01:04:47
			I joined Jum'ah Salah late and forgot
		
01:04:47 --> 01:04:47
			when they did Taslim.
		
01:04:48 --> 01:04:49
			But if you joined the Jum'ah Salah,
		
01:04:49 --> 01:04:52
			then you joined the Salah before Taslim.
		
01:04:52 --> 01:04:54
			So you have, your prayer is fine because
		
01:04:54 --> 01:04:55
			you joined before Taslim, Inshallah.
		
01:04:56 --> 01:04:58
			Unless you joined after Taslim, and if you're
		
01:04:58 --> 01:05:03
			not sure, then if, for example, if you
		
01:05:03 --> 01:05:07
			joined Jum'ah Salah and you found out
		
01:05:07 --> 01:05:09
			afterwards that you joined after they had done
		
01:05:09 --> 01:05:12
			Taslim, then you should make up whichever Raka
		
01:05:12 --> 01:05:13
			'as you missed.
		
01:05:14 --> 01:05:18
			Because in that sense, you would in essence
		
01:05:18 --> 01:05:19
			be praying by yourself.
		
01:05:19 --> 01:05:21
			And if you were within the Salah, because
		
01:05:21 --> 01:05:24
			you were praying before Taslim, that's fine, Inshallah.
		
01:05:25 --> 01:05:27
			If you mistakenly started praying an obligatory prayer,
		
01:05:28 --> 01:05:30
			but wanted to switch it to a Sunnah,
		
01:05:30 --> 01:05:31
			that's fine.
		
01:05:32 --> 01:05:35
			So if a person prays an obligatory prayer,
		
01:05:35 --> 01:05:37
			but then he, let's say he's praying Zuhr,
		
01:05:37 --> 01:05:39
			but then he wants to pray his two
		
01:05:39 --> 01:05:40
			Sunnahs before Zuhr.
		
01:05:40 --> 01:05:42
			Or the four Sunnahs before Zuhr.
		
01:05:43 --> 01:05:44
			That's permissible.
		
01:05:44 --> 01:05:46
			But you can't do the other way around.
		
01:05:47 --> 01:05:50
			So you can downgrade, but you can't upgrade.
		
01:05:50 --> 01:05:52
			You can't go from a Sunnah to a
		
01:05:52 --> 01:05:52
			Fardh.
		
01:05:52 --> 01:05:55
			You can't start a Sunnah Salah and then
		
01:05:55 --> 01:05:55
			say, you know what, I'm just going to
		
01:05:55 --> 01:05:56
			pray my Fardh.
		
01:05:57 --> 01:05:58
			And change your intention in the Salah.
		
01:05:59 --> 01:06:01
			But it wouldn't be permitted for you to
		
01:06:01 --> 01:06:01
			downgrade.
		
01:06:02 --> 01:06:04
			So to go from a Fardh Salah to
		
01:06:04 --> 01:06:04
			a Sunnah Salah.
		
01:06:05 --> 01:06:06
			What is the correct way to break your
		
01:06:06 --> 01:06:07
			Salah?
		
01:06:07 --> 01:06:08
			You don't give Salam when you break your
		
01:06:08 --> 01:06:08
			Salah.
		
01:06:08 --> 01:06:11
			If you break your Salah because you have
		
01:06:11 --> 01:06:13
			to do Wudhu, or maybe you made the
		
01:06:13 --> 01:06:16
			wrong intention, or for whatever other reason, you
		
01:06:16 --> 01:06:17
			don't need to give Salam.
		
01:06:17 --> 01:06:19
			Because Salam is a sign of the end
		
01:06:19 --> 01:06:21
			of Salah.
		
01:06:21 --> 01:06:22
			You haven't ended the Salah.
		
01:06:24 --> 01:06:26
			Why are Zuhr and Asr Jamaat different times
		
01:06:26 --> 01:06:27
			in Masajid?
		
01:06:27 --> 01:06:29
			Again, scholars may differ with regards to the
		
01:06:29 --> 01:06:32
			specific timings of the beginning and end of
		
01:06:32 --> 01:06:32
			the Salawat.
		
01:06:33 --> 01:06:34
			But if you rely on the Masjid, you
		
01:06:34 --> 01:06:37
			know them to be trustworthy people, inshallah, then
		
01:06:37 --> 01:06:39
			you can follow those Salah timings and you
		
01:06:39 --> 01:06:39
			won't be accountable.
		
01:06:40 --> 01:06:41
			What do you do if you forget how
		
01:06:41 --> 01:06:42
			many Raka'as you prayed on?
		
01:06:42 --> 01:06:43
			You prayed in Salah.
		
01:06:44 --> 01:06:46
			Al-Yaqeen al-Yaqeen la yazur bish-shak
		
01:06:46 --> 01:06:48
			Certainty is removed by doubt.
		
01:06:48 --> 01:06:49
			So if you're unsure whether you've prayed two
		
01:06:49 --> 01:06:52
			or three, you know you've prayed at least
		
01:06:52 --> 01:06:53
			two.
		
01:06:53 --> 01:06:54
			So you start from two.
		
01:06:55 --> 01:06:56
			If you're unsure if you've prayed four or
		
01:06:56 --> 01:06:58
			three, you know for sure you've prayed three.
		
01:06:59 --> 01:07:02
			So you always go to the number that
		
01:07:02 --> 01:07:03
			you are sure of.
		
01:07:03 --> 01:07:06
			If you have missed a Salah and it's
		
01:07:06 --> 01:07:07
			now Asr, what do I pray first?
		
01:07:07 --> 01:07:09
			You have to pray Dhuhr before you pray
		
01:07:09 --> 01:07:09
			Asr.
		
01:07:10 --> 01:07:13
			Let's say I've prayed Asr, or it's Asr
		
01:07:13 --> 01:07:14
			time and I'm about to pray Asr and
		
01:07:14 --> 01:07:16
			I just remember I haven't prayed Dhuhr.
		
01:07:16 --> 01:07:18
			You have to pray Dhuhr before you pray
		
01:07:18 --> 01:07:18
			Asr.
		
01:07:20 --> 01:07:22
			The Salawat have to be in order.
		
01:07:22 --> 01:07:24
			You can't mix up the order of the
		
01:07:24 --> 01:07:25
			Salawat.
		
01:07:26 --> 01:07:27
			Is it recommended for the shoulders to be
		
01:07:27 --> 01:07:27
			covered?
		
01:07:28 --> 01:07:29
			It's recommended for the shoulders to be covered
		
01:07:29 --> 01:07:32
			prior to a person praying, inshallah.
		
01:07:32 --> 01:07:34
			With that, last question, inshallah.
		
01:07:43 --> 01:07:46
			Yeah, so it's permissible to combine between Sunnah
		
01:07:46 --> 01:07:46
			prayers.
		
01:07:46 --> 01:07:49
			For example, coming into the Masjid before Dhuhr
		
01:07:49 --> 01:07:51
			and you're praying two rak'ahs before you
		
01:07:51 --> 01:07:54
			sit down and also the two rak'ahs
		
01:07:54 --> 01:07:57
			before Dhuhr, for example, or after the Adhan,
		
01:07:57 --> 01:07:59
			praying two rak'ahs after the Adhan and
		
01:07:59 --> 01:08:02
			a person praying Tahiyyat al-Masjid, for example,
		
01:08:02 --> 01:08:03
			or the Sunnah before Fajr.
		
01:08:04 --> 01:08:08
			Combining two intentions for a single Salah is
		
01:08:08 --> 01:08:09
			permissible.
		
01:08:09 --> 01:08:10
			With that, we'll conclude.
