			And since most of the Muslims did
not understand Arabic as the
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			language and we are non Arabs
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			so the high chances that our mind
will wander.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:20
			To prevent our mind from
wandering, besides reciting the
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:23
			Arabic text, we should
simultaneously recall the meaning
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
			of what we are reciting in the
language you understand the best
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			whether it be in English, whether
it be in Hindi, whether it be in
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			Marathi, whether it be in
Gujarati,
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
			you should recall the meaning of
what you are reciting in the
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			language we understand the best.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:43
			For example, if you recite Surah
Fattah Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			in the Name of Allah, the Most
Gracious, Most merciful
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:50
			Alhamdulillah Allah, Allah, Allah
mean all praises due to Allah, the
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:54
			Lord of the worlds or Rahmani
Raheem the Most Gracious, Most
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:58
			merciful, Maliki or Medina, the
master the king of the Day of
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:03
			Judgment, er Can I Buddha er can
stay in the alone we worship, and
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			D alone, we ask for help
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:11
			a dinner Serato Mustafi guide a
straight path serata Latina and
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			Tally him The path of those whom
you are pleased with why you
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			didn't do ballet himolla Bollin
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:22
			not the path of those who deserve
your anger nor of those who have
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:22
			gone astray.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:28
			So, when you're deciding the
Arabic texts, you should
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			simultaneously recall the meaning
of what you're reciting.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35
			Then inshallah your mind will not
wander.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:40
			But after a few weeks, or a few
months, even this will become
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:44
			mechanical, because our mind is so
powerful.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:49
			So, a portion of your mind is used
in recalling the Arabic text and
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			the other is used in recalling the
meaning.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:57
			So, even this will become
mechanical, but there are less
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:01
			chances that your mind will wander
but yet your mind may wander.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			So, to prevent this, besides
recalling the meaning you should
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:10
			concentrate you should ponder on
what you are reciting. Because a
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:14
			human mind it cannot concentrate
100% on two things, either 50% on
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:18
			two different things or 80% 20% on
two different things.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:23
			A human mind cannot concentrate
100% or two things. Besides
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:26
			recalling the meaning we should
concentrate on what we are
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:30
			reciting. Then inshallah our mind
will not wander. I started my talk
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			with a quotation from the Glorious
Quran from Sauron Kabu chaton on
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:38
			29 was 245 autonoma Ohia la
communal Kitab what happened
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:42

00:02:42 --> 00:02:46
			book what is revealed to the an
established prayer in the prayer
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			restrained from shameful and
unjust deeds.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:54
			So, in Salah we are being
programmed towards righteousness
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			that we have to stay away from
shameful and unjust deeds.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:01
			So Salah keeps us away from many
evils.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:06
			And for example if the Imam after
sort of Fatiha he decides to
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			remind that chap number five was
the 90
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:14

			anomaly shaytaan are an
abomination from Satan's
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			handiwork. First, anybody who are
looking to freehold that abstain
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			from such abomination that he may
prosper.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:35
			In salah. We are being programmed
towards righteousness.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:40
			that alcohol is prohibited,
gambling is prohibited.
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:43
			fortunetelling is prohibited. We
are being programmed towards
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			righteousness.
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			And if the Imam after Surah
Fatiha, he decides to remind that
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:53
			chap number five was number three
polymetallic will Mater toward the
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:58
			Moloch milkins It will be
forbidden for food are dead meat,
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:03
			blood, flesh of swine and any food
on which any other name besides
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			Allah's name has been taken.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08
			These four types of foods they are
prohibited for us Muslims.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:14
			So inshallah we are being
programmed towards righteousness,
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:18
			that dead meat, blood, flesh of
swine and any food on which any
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:22
			other name besides Allah's name
has been taken these foods they
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23
			are prohibited for us.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:28
			And if the imam for example, after
Surah Fatiha he decides to the
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:32
			Islamic chapter number 17 was the
majority and 24
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:38
			What are taboo? Yeah, what Bill

00:04:53 --> 00:04:56
			And the Lord has decreed that you
worship none but Him and to be
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			kind to your parents. But the one
or both of
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			attained old age, sent out a word
of contempt, nor rebelled them,
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:09
			but addressed them in terms of
honor. And lower to them the wings
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:14
			of humility and say, My Lord, have
mercy on them, even as a cherished
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:14
			me in childhood.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:20
			So we are being programmed towards
righteousness in our Salah that
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			you have to be kind to our
parents, we have to respect our
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:26
			parents, and if one or both of
them attain old age, we cannot
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:31
			even say off to our parents. We
can't disrespect our parents, in
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:34
			Salah we are being programmed
towards righteousness.
