00:02:10 --> 00:02:13
			And in Sudan deputy manager,
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:21
			they reported that a boy, I'm sorry for the peace with him, said
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:32
			came to the Prophet sallallahu wasallam and said, Oh prophet of law, advise me. yet be brief.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:43
			Sir Prophet said I'm a Salatu was salam, when you stand to pray, pray like a man bidding farewell.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:56
			And do not say anything for which you will have to apologize for and give up hope for what other
people have
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			service of a law.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:20
			Our profits are they he what he was selling them was given the concise of speech. few words that
have profound meaning, which may require scholars to interpret in volumes.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:24
			And in this beautiful happy
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:31
			we see how team, the companions of a law may Allah be pleased with them
		
00:03:32 --> 00:04:09
			on seeking the seeking advice, and this is what we should do. Because advice is heavy on the soul.
And if you advise, if you advise someone, most likely they would reject your advice. But when
someone seeks advice from you, this means that he is willing to accept it. And therefore we should
try to improve ourselves to give and to accept advice.
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:54
			The companion of a long elegant piece with him requested and advice. But he requested it to be
brief. Because so many lectures we attended so many speeches we hear, and then he literally remains
to be implemented. And this is why the Prophet alayhi salatu was Salam gave him What is suitable for
him, but in a very short statement. So what was the first advice? The Prophet carrying is Salatu was
Salam addressed the topic of salaat which we usually take for granted.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			Usually, we call people to pray.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:06
			Come to the mystery. I couldn't see you in fetcher today. What's wrong? Why don't you come over for
us?
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:12
			This is the bare minimum that we call people for.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:40
			This was not the case. At the time of the Prophet alayhi salatu was salam, the bar was set up high.
The Prophet did not tell him, pray or observe your five daily prayers, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam focused on something that was more valuable, and that is quality versus quantity.
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:48
			What counts at the sight of Amman is quality. And this is
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:59
			understood clearly, if you measure between two headings. The first one is the heavy that speaks
about.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			Our Prophet told us
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:20
			that you will look down upon your prayers compared to their prayers, then pray day and night without
end. Yet they are the people of hellfire. They are the hounds of Hellfire as the Prophet has
described them.
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:39
			And if you compare this to the Hadith of the Prophet is Osama, he said that will ever preach to us.
Without whispering without talking to himself about worldly matters, a lot of would forgive all
history lessons.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:07:24
			So put this in the scale as compared to praying all of your life without inequality, then Islam
focuses mostly on quality rather than on quantity. And prayer has great importance in Islam. The
Prophet tour is a source of that those who do not pray at all, not a single prayer are not Muslims.
And this is mentioned in the Quran is so many items. And this is clearly mentioned in the Hadith of
the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa Salaam when he said that the pledge between us and them is prayer ever
abandons it is not.
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:41
			The Prophet says this in clear statements. So whoever does not pray at all is a Catholic, who prays
salaat but he is lazy in performing and
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:51
			he is a hypocrite. Allah says, and when they go to pray, they go in laziness.
		
00:07:52 --> 00:08:25
			And this is the description of a hypocrite. Prayer is so important that by its validity, all of your
rest, the rest of your needs are valid, whether it's charity fasting hatch, but if your prayer is
not valid to begin with, then all of your good deeds would be rejected accordingly. And this is the
first thing that a Muslim would be held accountable for on the day of judgment as the perfect
answer.
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:33
			So coming back to the heavy pray the prayer of a man bidding farewell.
		
00:08:35 --> 00:09:41
			A person who bids farewell is a person thinking that this is his last prayer. So he does his level
best to perfect his prayer to attain the foreshore necessary to complete its rivers, mandatory acts
and even the sooner acts that the Prophet used to perform some of them were doing the solid. A
person benefit farewell is a person who holds himself accountable now before the day of judgment. So
he asks himself after every prayer wasn't good, wasn't accepted, or was I distracted while doing it.
He is a person when standing in prayer, imagines and has the conviction that he is standing before
Allah is the origin. And this is why he shows his submissiveness in his standing up in his in his
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:49
			suit, he thinks of nothing but pleasing Allah as the origin. So if you imagine someone
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:59
			coming out of his grave, given the chance to pray one single prayer, then going back to the stage
where they're being rewarded or punished
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:43
			How do you think this person's prayer would be? Now the Prophet said in a nother authentic heavy
Olive Salatu was Salam. Remember, Allah would actually say, remember that when you stand for prayer,
because a man, when he remembers death, while brain, he should perfect his prayer and pray the
prayer of a man thinking that he will not get another chance to pray another prayer. This is the
advice of the Prophet alayhi salatu was set up in this shows you how short the span of a believer
is,
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:47
			every one of us think that he will live for eternity.
		
00:10:48 --> 00:11:13
			Even those who are past the age of 80 or 90, this didn't have hope in living for another 1020 or
even 50 years more. And this is why when we act, we do not perfect what we do because we always
think that we will have another chance. Now pray the prayer of a man bidding farewell.
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:48
			Remember that in your prayer, that's the slam promote that dialing and the concept of having this
thought with you all the time, that can be negative, and can be positive in the sense that if you
remember that, to the extent that it would make you despair, give up hope and almost mercy, not
think of gender, but rather give up hope for everything good. This is negative
		
00:11:49 --> 00:12:09
			one promotes positive thinking of that. And this way of thinking positive positively of death
encourages you to do well, and to stay away from sin. So when you're ever tempted to how long, your
positive thinking of death
		
00:12:11 --> 00:13:12
			makes you refrain, and whenever you are lazy from doing what is managing your positive thinking of
death, gives you the power and the courage to do such things and such concept of positive death. If
we have it in us, we will transform our lives. Not only that, but also the lives of our children,
whom we always monitor. Don't do this, what are you doing, we sometimes spy on them. If we install
the positive concept of thinking of death, we can be sure that they are not sinning. Because there
is an inner voice that prevents them from doing harm and going through to do what is obligatory. If
we manage to think positively of death, we will not accept bribes, we will not give bribes, we will
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:17
			not cheat our work, we would not steal or embezzle or do anything that
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:41
			we will not deal in Riba we would not think of cheating the wife from her rights or taking her
possession or keeping her gold, we would not do so many things, because we are aware of the fact
that that is coming in originally. And this positive way of thinking about death would definitely
makes us improve.
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:43
			brain
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:53
			has benefits in the hereafter without any doubt. It has benefits in our brains without doubt. But
does it have benefits in this life? Definitely.
		
00:13:54 --> 00:14:19
			Part of the benefits of prayer in this life, that it relieves you from stress from weapons from
thinking of worldly things that would cause you to be diabetic, with high blood pressure with a lot
of confusion. Why? Because when you say Allahu Akbar, you are actually
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:38
			communicating with allies. So you don't think about your job, or your deaths, or your wife, or your
children. You only think of what pleases Anwar knowing that if you please a lot, a lot would make
all of your affairs to what pleases
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:59
			but if we fail to be in such communication, and we say Allahu Akbar was thinking of worldly matters,
then we have a problem. The Prophet tells us a lot about ninth grade. He says chocolate milk men
began to believe the honor of a believer is when he said
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:59
			stands for night prayer. What honor is there is the honor of communicating with whom everything in
this universe is in his possession. And in his hand, the prophet alayhi salatu salam used to tell
the land opener relief us with solid. So whenever the Prophet was disturbed, he used to ask people
to make the karma, because his relief was in so much nowadays we say, overlap relieve us from solid.
It's a burden on our shoulders, we just want to pray and read. But it was the relief of the prophet
in the salon itself. If we look at our prayers nowadays, those who are lucky among us, those who
pray the mystery, because the majority of people do not know the message.
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:54
			Some of them know the message in German, and some of them do not know the message even in Jumeirah.
The majority of Muslims will not pray the five daily prayers, as Omar commanded them in the
industry. And even those who pray the ministry, they are unfortunate, because they do not have the
for sure. They do not have the perfect salaat. Each one of us has his heart in a different Valley
than in domestic. We think of our businesses of our families. We think of our work, we think of our
fun and entertainment. Some of us spent all of his life, playing with his clothes, fixing his
clothes, scratching his body fixing or checking what's in his pockets. What kind of a sauna is this?
		
00:16:55 --> 00:17:21
			A person looks right, left looks up down. Where is your heart? You have certain certainty that these
people are not praying the prayer of a person begging farewell. It is impossible with the actions
they are doing. The Companions. We all know the place within us to seek refuge in Allah from the
hood sure of the hypocrites.
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:56
			Do hypocrites have for sure. Do they have submissiveness a lot? Yes, this submissiveness of organs
so they pray, and they don't move. But their hearts are not submissive. They don't have to for sure
in their heart and like, say you did, man the other the piece was in set by Ottawa, if your hearts
were pure, you would never have enough from the poor. And likewise, if our hearts were pure, we
would never have enough from the solid
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:01
			you
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:24
			to
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:29
			the beginner while he was on a woman It
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:32
			was then that he
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:34
			got
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:39
			the profit second advice, some local mining
		
00:18:40 --> 00:19:45
			do not say anything for which you will have to apologize or is the profit center telling us not to
apologize? On the contrary, apologizing for your wrongdoing is part of God ethics that Islam
promotes. Yet the prophets of Allah is prohibiting us from doing something or saying something that
requires We apologize for afterwards. So this is pre emptive. Do not say or do something you will
regret and have to apologize for later on. And if you look, we find that the Muslims have neglected
this advice. Our tongues are engaged in so many hideous and evil acts that are beyond columns. When
you sit with the Muslims, without any hesitation you can say that all of our gatherings are filled
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:59
			with Viva backbiting with gossiping. Dyneema with slandering people with making fun of people even
if someone is in front of us, he doesn't know how to drive. He doesn't like people to overtake
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:21
			This is labor. And we don't pay any attention to it. How many marriages were destroyed by the evil
of our tongues, a word that we say, angers the husband, he divorces the wife a slander that we say
things that we do not pay attention how many disputes
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:31
			among the Muslims were ignited by a statement, we did not pay any attention to the Prophet tells us
unless all of a sudden,
		
00:20:32 --> 00:21:22
			that there is a word or a statement that the person says does not pay attention to throws him in
* for 17 years, and he has not reached the bottom of it yet, because of a statement. You said. So
the Prophet Allah is Allah who was given the concise of speech, who if he were to talk, no one would
want him to stop, yet his words used to be counted. And he did not talk about why he himself said,
Whoever keeps silence, whoever keeps silent, he will be saved and secured on the judgment. So
silence is highly recommended. So that you would not apologize for yet, if you will speak in what
pleases,
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:30
			then speaking in what pleases or not is far better than remaining silent. And finally, the Prophet
says,
		
00:21:31 --> 00:22:26
			set and given from what other people have. It is human nature. When you see someone who's rich, that
you wish that he gives you something that you become envious, when you see someone influential, you
wish that he gives you a job, when you see someone who has something you don't want to have, you are
hopeful that he may share it with you. So you're always constantly looking at what other people
have. And this shows how little tawakkol is in your heart, how into dependence, reliance and trust
in what Allah has, because you're not looking at what Allah has. You're looking at what individuals
have, and whoever is self content with what Allah has, Allah will make him the richest man, even if
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:28
			he does not have a penny,
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:57
			whoever is sufficient, with an intent with what Allah has allowed will make him the wealthiest
person because he is not enslaved to other slaves, he is enslaved to his master and to his Lord. And
the more you look at what people have, the more enslaved and humiliated and belittled up to them,
the Prophet says,
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:00
			Whoever guarantees
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:09
			not very far that he makes me and you among those who guarantee this, whoever guarantees to me
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:18
			that he will not ask anyone among the people. For anything, I will guarantee gender.
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:29
			How many calls do we get from people? Jeff, can you do this for me? Can you talk to someone? Can you
lend me something? Can you make me borrow something?
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:34
			This is not part of the teachings of the prophet
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:44
			who taught us to be content with whatever we have, and not to look at what others have. So the
Prophet says
		
00:23:46 --> 00:24:06
			to me, that he will not ask people for anything, I will guarantee for him. Therefore, servants of
Allah, I advise myself on you to feel a master which in our life in this world is limited. It is
short, so many loved ones have passed away.
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:35
			And now we tend to forget how much we love them, and how much we were sorry for them. Soon. our
loved ones would miss us and we will die. And nothing would help us in our graves except the prayer
that we used to observe the prayers that we use to perfect, the prayers that we used to pray as a
person bidding farewell, nothing would happen except
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:49
			protecting and observing what comes out of our mouths and whether it pleases a lot or angers him.
Nothing would help us except being content with what Allah
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:53
			has given us. Allah
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:58
			whatever it is,
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:01
			Allah Allah.
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:02
			Allah.
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:09
			Allah, Allah.
