00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:40
			Our program tonight is about the power and
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:44
			the excellence of voluntary prayers in Islam.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			Voluntary prayers are called Sunnah prayers.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			They are called Nawafil in Arabic.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:57
			And Nafila is something extra that you do
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:01:59 --> 00:01:59
			'ala.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:05
			So aside from the five daily prayers that
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08
			a Muslim, every Muslim must perform on a
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:13
			daily basis, we have these Nawafil, Sunnah prayers
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:16
			that are prescribed, they are part of our
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:16
			prayers.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			And they were prescribed by Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			ta'ala and his Messenger ﷺ.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:30
			And neglecting them does not expose the Muslim
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			to the punishment of Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			'ala.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			There are some scholars who said if someone
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:40
			insists on neglecting these Nawafil and voluntary prayers,
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			he will be blamed on the Day of
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:42
			Judgment.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:45
			Some ulama said that the Messenger of Allah
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:51
			ﷺ will blame him and tell him on
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			the Day of Judgment, why did you leave
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			my Sunnah?
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			But to the best of my knowledge, this
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:57
			is not something confirmed.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			If I confirm it, I'll share it with
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:00
			you.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			But so far, to the best of my
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			knowledge, this is not something confirmed.
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:09
			Because we know from a famous hadith in
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:12
			which an Arabi, a Bedouin came to Rasulullah
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:16
			ﷺ and this hadith is always used by
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:20
			the ulama to say, any other prayer besides
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			the five daily prayers is not mandatory, is
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			not an obligation.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			In this hadith, this Arabi, this Bedouin asked
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:32
			Rasulullah ﷺ about the arkan of Islam, the
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			pillars of Islam.
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			When he came to Salat, he told him
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:39
			about the five daily prayers, five prayers every
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40
			day and night.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			So this Arabi, this Bedouin, he said, I
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			will do exactly what you said.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:48
			I'm not going to add anything, but I'm
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			not going to delete from them.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			So I will do exactly what you said,
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			five daily prayers.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:59
			And after he left, Rasulullah ﷺ said, He
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			will be successful if he's saying the truth.
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:03
			If he's saying the truth, if he will
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06
			do exactly the five daily prayers, then on
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			the Day of Judgement he will be successful.
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:12
			So all the ulama use this, they always
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			use this dalil to say that all the
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:20
			other voluntary prayers are not mandatory.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23
			They are not mandatory.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			But some of them are highly recommended.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:28
			Some of them are regular sunnah prayers.
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:31
			We will know insha'Allah the details, insha
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			'Allah the details of all the sunnah prayers
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:36
			in the next halaqat.
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			This one and the next one and maybe
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:38
			another one.
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			For three weeks we will talk in detail
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44
			about all the voluntary prayers and their status
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:47
			in the shariah of Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:47
			'ala.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:52
			But now they are optional, but we can
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			confirm something.
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:57
			Because I will share some amazing ahadith today
		
00:04:57 --> 00:05:00
			with you about the benefits and the excellence
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			of these voluntary prayers.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			So there is no doubt that the one
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:08
			who neglects them will miss great rewards.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			Young people, there are some young people who
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:15
			say, Okay, they tell their parents, be happy
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			that I am at least praying the five
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			daily prayers.
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			You don't want to do the voluntary prayers,
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			right?
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			And there are some adults here who don't
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			do them and they say, The excuse, we
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			are busy, we are kada, we are...
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			Mother, they say, I am busy with my
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			children, I am cooking for the family, doing
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:31
			this and that.
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			People have their own excuses, right?
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:37
			We are not going to blame them because
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			they are not blamed in shariah for not
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:40
			doing them.
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:45
			But I would like to confirm tonight that
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			the one who neglects them will be missing
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48
			great rewards.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49
			This is number one.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			And he will also, they will also miss
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:58
			the opportunity, the opportunity for their obligatory prayers
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			to be rectified on the day of judgment.
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			To be rectified.
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:06
			And we have a famous hadith about it
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:09
			that I will share it with you today.
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:13
			And this person might also miss the opportunity
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:17
			of being one of those who could be
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20
			described as close friends of Allah.
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:23
			It is a famous hadith about al-awliya,
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			al-wilaya.
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			How to have this status?
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:31
			How do you build this strong and beautiful
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			relationship with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala?
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:36
			And be among those who are called al
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			-awliya in Arabic?
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:41
			I guess the best translation would be close
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			friends of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:46
			I will share a hadith about this with
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:47
			you tonight.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:51
			And also this person might miss the opportunity
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:56
			to compete with the rest of Muslims about
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			high ranks in Jannah.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			And there is an amazing hadith about it.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:04
			And I want you to pay attention to
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:04
			it.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			About those who have, the dwellers, the dwellers
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			of lofty mansions in Jannah.
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			Those who have high ranking in Jannah.
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			And how do you achieve this status?
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:21
			So, and the person might also miss, you
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:24
			know, calmness and serenity and tumalina in this
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:24
			life.
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:27
			Because when you get engaged with voluntary prayers,
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			you are basically doing what?
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			You are remembering Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35
			It is one form of remembrance.
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			Remembering Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			Isn't it that with the remembrance of Allah,
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			the hearts are assured.
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:49
			So, that's Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tawfiq.
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:54
			Now we, I try to provide a proof
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:55
			for all these statements.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:57
			I mentioned couple of statements here.
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:01
			But everything has, is based on a proof
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:04
			from the sunnah of our messenger sallallahu alayhi
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:05
			wa sallam.
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:12
			Now when it comes to rectifying our, the
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:15
			conditions of our obligatory prayers.
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			We have this famous hadith.
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:21
			And that was collected by all ashab sunan,
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:24
			the four imams who wrote the sunan.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:27
			Imam Ahmed and maybe some other scholars.
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:30
			But I know at least five ulama who
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:31
			collected this hadith.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:34
			Tirmidhi, Nasa'i, Abu Dawood, Ibn Majah and
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:34
			Imam Ahmed.
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:38
			In this hadith, an Nabi alayhi sallallahu alayhi
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:38
			wa sallam yaqul.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:43
			And this is also about the excellence of
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:44
			the prayer in general.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:45
			Now, he said.
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:28
			This hadith is sahih.
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:33
			He said the first actions or deeds which
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:36
			a servant will be held accountable for on
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			the day of judgment will be his prayer.
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			This is when it comes to ibadat.
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:44
			When we talk about ibadat, acts of worship.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:46
			The first thing that the person will be
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			taken to account for on the day of
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:49
			judgment is his salah.
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:54
			When it comes to other issues, like violations
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:55
			and crimes and everything.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:10:00
			Then the first thing will be blood, killing
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			someone, killing an innocent soul.
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			That will be the first problem to be
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:06
			dealt with.
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:09
			But when it comes to ibadat, the first
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:10
			thing is salah.
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:13
			So Rasulallah alayhi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:14
			in this hadith.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:18
			If they are found to be sound, Ya
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			'ni his salah is good, mashallah, this man
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:23
			was trying his best to perform his salah
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:24
			in the best way.
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26
			Then he will be safe and successful.
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:28
			This person will be safe and successful.
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			And his account for the other things will
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:33
			be easy.
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:36
			After the salah was found, mashallah, beautiful.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:39
			He beautifully performed his salah.
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42
			Then everything will be easy after that.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:44
			Rasulallah alayhi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			he will be safe and successful.
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:50
			But if they are incomplete, his salah was
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:51
			incomplete.
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:56
			Then this person will be unfortunate, unfortunate and
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:56
			a loser.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:59
			But there is good news here about those
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:01
			who do the voluntary prayers.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:07
			So he said, however if any shortcomings are
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:10
			found in the obligatory prayers, then the Lord
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			will say, the Lord Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:12
			'ala.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			And here this is a proof that this
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			part of the hadith is a Qudsi hadith.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:21
			Because the next statement will be made by
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:22
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:23
			It's a Qudsi hadith.
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:27
			So they came to this person, his salah
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:28
			was incomplete.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30
			Then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will make
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:31
			a statement.
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			He will give an instruction to the malaika.
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37
			He will tell them, see if my servant
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:42
			has any voluntary prayers with which the defect
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:46
			or the deficiencies of his obligatory prayer are
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:47
			rectified.
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:51
			So your voluntary prayers will be used yawm
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:56
			al qiyamah to rectify and fix and remedy
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:59
			your obligatory prayers.
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said, complete
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:05
			his obligatory prayers with his voluntary prayers.
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:07
			And the rest of the deeds will be
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:08
			treated in the same way.
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:11
			Your fasting will be treated in the same
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:11
			way.
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:13
			That means if you had some issues and
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:16
			problems with your fasting during Ramadan, which is
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:19
			an obligation, then the malaika will look at
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:25
			your voluntary fast to rectify your fasting in
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:25
			Ramadan.
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27
			If you had some issues with your fasting
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:28
			in Ramadan.
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			And the same thing with zakat.
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33
			If you had some issues, some shortcomings regarding
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:36
			the obligation of paying the zakat, then the
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:39
			malaika by the command of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:42
			ta'ala will look at your sadaqah, your
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:47
			regular charities and try to rectify your obligations.
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:53
			Now, what is the nature of this rectification
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:54
			or remedy?
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:56
			Or how does it work?
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:57
			There are two opinions.
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:01
			The first opinion is the opinion of a
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:02
			small group of scholars.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			They said the only things which will be
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:08
			rectified on the Day of Judgment are shortcomings
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:09
			within the prayer.
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			Within the obligatory prayer.
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:16
			Like any destruction, lack of khushur, not praying
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:19
			on time, doing the prayer but not on
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:19
			time.
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:22
			So these are shortcomings within the prayer.
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:27
			So these are the obligatory prayers which were
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:29
			missed, will not be rectified.
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:33
			And that is the opinion of a small
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:34
			group of Muslim scholars.
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:38
			The majority, they have a different opinion.
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:42
			Majority of Muslim scholars, they have a different
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:42
			opinion.
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:46
			They said all deficiencies, all shortcomings in the
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:48
			obligatory prayers will be rectified with the voluntary
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:49
			prayers.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:53
			And I adopt this opinion, the second one.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:54
			Why?
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:57
			Because the hadith is a general statement.
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:00
			The hadith, Rasulallah s.a.w. said in
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:08
			the hadith, He said, if any shortcomings are
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:11
			found in the obligatory prayers, then Allah s
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			.w.t. will say this and this and
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:13
			this and this.
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:16
			So Rasulallah s.a.w. did not say,
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:21
			if any shortcomings within his obligatory prayers are
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:24
			found, then it will be rectified, they will
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:26
			be rectified with his voluntary prayers.
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:30
			He said, any shortcomings, which is a general
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:30
			statement.
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:34
			And this should include the obligatory prayers that
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:35
			were missed.
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:40
			So if someone missed some obligatory prayers when
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:42
			he was young, and he is not able
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:46
			to, it is safer, it is better to
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:49
			make them up now.
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:50
			Right?
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:52
			If you have extra time, if you have
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:52
			time.
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:54
			And we have time, actually, if we want
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:54
			to.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:56
			If we want to make the time for
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:56
			them.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			But if someone is extremely busy, is not
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:02
			able to make up those prayers, then inshallah,
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:06
			we hope that his voluntary prayers will be
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:07
			used on the Day of Judgment.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:10
			His sunnah prayers, his nawafil will be used
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:13
			on the Day of Judgment to rectify and
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:17
			fix the obligatory prayers.
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:19
			Or any shortcomings in his obligatory prayers.
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:24
			So now you know the importance of, and
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:25
			this is only one proof.
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:28
			Now, the second proof here that I have
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:32
			tonight, about the obligation of this, the importance,
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:35
			not the obligation, the importance and the excellence
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:37
			of these voluntary prayers.
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:40
			There was a tabi'i, his name is
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:43
			Ma'dan ibn Abi Talha al-Ya'muri al-Kinani.
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:45
			He was from the area of Hisham.
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:47
			Great tabi'i.
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:50
			Used to, you know, learn from the sahaba
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:51
			radiallahu anhu.
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:55
			So he came to Thauban, he said, لقيت
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:58
			Thauban, مولى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:04
			فقلت أخبرني بعمل أعمله يدخلني الله به الجنة
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:08
			So he came to Thauban, who was a
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:11
			sahabi, a friend, a companion of Rasulullah صلى
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:11
			الله عليه وسلم.
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:13
			And he told him, tell me about a
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:14
			deed.
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:18
			If I do, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:20
			if I perform, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:22
			will allow me to go to Jannah.
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:25
			Because of it, because of this deed, right?
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:27
			And Thauban kept quiet.
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:28
			He asked him three times, he kept quiet.
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:31
			I don't know why, the reason why Thauban
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:32
			kept quiet for three times.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:35
			Maybe he was thinking, what could be the
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:36
			best deed?
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:39
			Wanted to help him with some information.
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:41
			This is a tabi'i.
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:45
			So he said, Thauban, سألت عن ذلك رسول
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:47
			الله صلى الله عليه وسلم He said, I
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:50
			asked Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم the same
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:51
			question about this.
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:54
			قال فقال, رسول صلى الله عليه وسلم قال
		
00:16:54 --> 00:17:00
			عليك بكثرة السجود فإنك لا تسجد لله سجدة
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:04
			إلا رفعك الله بها درجة وحط عنك بها
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:08
			خطيئة حديث في صحيح مسلم حديث هذا في
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:13
			صحيح مسلم So this tabi'i, Ma'dan ibn
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15
			Abi Talha, he came, as I said, to
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:18
			Thauban and he asked him about, tell me,
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			he just told me about a good deed.
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:24
			Something that I can do and Allah سبحانه
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:28
			وتعالى will allow me or give me Jannah
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:30
			as a reward for these deeds.
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:34
			So Thauban told him, I asked Rasulullah صلى
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:35
			الله عليه وسلم about the same thing.
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:38
			And he said, prostrate much.
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:39
			This is what Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:40
			told him.
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:44
			عليك بكثرة السجود Prostrate much to Allah سبحانه
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:48
			وتعالى for you did not prostrate to Allah
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:52
			one time except that Allah سبحانه وتعالى would
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:56
			raise, look at this hadith, will raise your
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:59
			rank one degree with it.
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:05
			So for every sajda, when you pray two
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:06
			rak'ahs, how many sajdas you do?
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:08
			Four.
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:11
			And then Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم told
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:14
			Thauban, for every sajda, Allah will raise your
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:19
			rank one degree with it and will erase
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:20
			one sin for you.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			So you are raised one degree in Jannah.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:24
			Not in this dunya.
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:26
			In Jannah.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30
			And we need to combine this with another
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:31
			hadith, I'll tell you about it.
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:35
			So your rank will be raised one degree
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:38
			in Jannah and one of your sins will
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:40
			be erased for every sajda.
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:44
			And of course, all the ulema understood from
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:46
			this hadith that Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:50
			is not talking about an isolated sajda that
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:51
			we do for no reason.
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:53
			This is not sunnah.
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:54
			Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم did not do
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			it, the sahaba did not do it.
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:59
			All the ulema understood from this hadith and
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01
			similar hadith that Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:04
			is talking about nawafil, about voluntary prayers, about
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:06
			sujood during salah.
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:07
			During salah.
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:10
			Making sujood, prostrating to Allah صلى الله عليه
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			وسلم during salah.
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:14
			There are some people who understood differently.
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:16
			They have a different understanding.
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:18
			That it's okay for you to do a
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:20
			single sajda without any reason.
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:24
			If you do a single sajda by itself,
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:25
			it has to be justified.
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:29
			Either it is a prostration for recitation, sujood
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:30
			tilawah.
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:33
			Or prostration for gratitude.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:36
			Prostration of gratitude.
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:37
			Sujood shukur.
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:39
			You hear some good news.
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:42
			Your son graduated or he got some money
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			or anything.
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:47
			Good news about someone, a family member who
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:48
			left the hospital.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51
			You can make sujood, sujood shukur.
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:54
			In a prostration of gratitude.
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:58
			Or you make extra sujood after the salah
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			to forgetfulness.
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:00
			Sujood sahoo.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			Right?
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:04
			But there is no sujood by itself.
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:06
			Because I saw people, after they finish the
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			salah, they say salamu alaykum.
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:12
			And then they do sujood, sajda.
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:13
			They perform one sajda.
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:14
			It's not sujood sahoo.
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:18
			Just sajda, another sajda, an extra sajda for
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:19
			the sake of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم.
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:20
			This is not part of the sunnah.
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:23
			Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم is talking about
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:25
			sujood during the salah.
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:26
			Or within the salah.
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:31
			Now what happens when you achieve high ranking
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:32
			in jannah?
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			Ah, I want you to pay attention to
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:35
			this hadith.
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:39
			I want you to really pay attention to
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:39
			this hadith.
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:41
			This hadith is amazing.
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:44
			In this hadith, Bukhari and Muslim.
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:47
			Bukhari and Muslim.
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:49
			Agreed upon.
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:36
			وَالنِّسَاءُ يَدْخُلْنَا أَيضًا فِي هَذِهِ الْعِبَارَةِ كُلْمَا ذُكِرَ
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:42
			الرِّجَالِ فِي ثَوَابِ الْآخِرَةِ النِّسَاءُ يَدْخُلْنَا مُبَاشَرَةً فِي
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:47
			هَذِهِ الْعِبَارَةِ رِجَالٌ آمَنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَصَدَّقُوا الْمُرْسَلِينَ يعني
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:48
			ليسوا أنبياء.
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:51
			This hadith is amazing يا إخوان.
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:54
			What happens to you, what do you get?
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:57
			When your rank is raised in jannah.
		
00:21:58 --> 00:21:59
			This is Bukhari and Muslim.
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:01
			The hadith of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri.
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:04
			Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم.
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:05
			And this is by the way one of
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			the easy ways to raise your rank in
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:08
			jannah.
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:09
			He said Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم.
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:11
			The people of paradise.
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:13
			Not the people of jahannam.
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:19
			The people of paradise will look at the
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:24
			dwellers of the lofty mansions in jannah above
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:24
			them.
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:26
			Will look.
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:29
			The people in paradise in jannah.
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			Will look at the dwellers of the lofty
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34
			mansions above them.
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:36
			He said the way.
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:41
			In the same way as one looks at
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:43
			a brilliant star.
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:45
			He used the word Kawkab.
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:49
			Kawkab is sometimes translated as star.
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:51
			Sometimes translated as planet.
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:55
			But he said shiny or brilliant.
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:58
			So we don't know he meant star or
		
00:22:58 --> 00:22:59
			a planet.
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:01
			But usually people will live on planets.
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:02
			That's a different story here.
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:05
			But he didn't say that these people will
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:05
			be in different planets.
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:08
			But this is a possibility.
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:10
			I'll tell you about it.
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:10
			It's a possibility.
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:11
			I cannot confirm it.
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:17
			But he's comparing the distance between those who
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:18
			are in the lofty mansions.
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:20
			And those who are in jannah.
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:24
			The people of jannah will be looking at
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:25
			these people.
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:28
			Living in lofty mansions.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:30
			The same way we look in this life.
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:33
			At a brilliant star in the west or
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:35
			the east on the horizon.
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:36
			On the horizon.
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:38
			Imagine yourself now.
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:40
			You go outside and you look at the
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:41
			star in the sky.
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:43
			What could be the distance between you and
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:44
			this star?
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:47
			What could be the distance?
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:48
			Thousands of miles?
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:51
			That's a possibility, right?
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:54
			This is what NASA is doing.
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:55
			Is saying these days, right?
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:58
			When they talk about the locations of these
		
00:23:58 --> 00:23:58
			stars.
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:00
			And the locations of these planets.
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:02
			And we have planets in the solar system.
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:05
			We have exoplanets and so on and so
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:05
			forth.
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:09
			So, and Rasulallah ﷺ continued.
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:13
			He said, all that is because of their
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:15
			superiority over one another.
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:18
			So people will be in different levels.
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:21
			And these levels are beyond our imagination.
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:25
			This difference between different levels.
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:28
			Is beyond our imagination.
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:32
			And then the sahaba here asking this question.
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:34
			Because when they heard this statement.
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:36
			They thought about something.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:39
			That these places, lofty mansions.
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:43
			Must be the dwelling places of what?
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:45
			Of prophets and messengers.
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:48
			So they ask him, ya Rasulallah, oh messenger
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:48
			of Allah.
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			Are these lofty mansions for prophets and messengers?
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:54
			Which no one else can reach.
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:57
			That was the understanding of the sahaba.
		
00:24:57 --> 00:25:00
			And Rasulallah ﷺ said, no.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:03
			He confirmed that this place is not for
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:04
			prophets and messengers.
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:06
			But in a very interesting way.
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:07
			He said, no.
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:11
			By Allah in whose hand is my soul.
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:15
			They are people who believed in Allah and
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:16
			his messengers.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:18
			Like you and me.
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:20
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:24
			So this, everyone is invited.
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:26
			Invited to raise towards Jannah.
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:30
			This invitation is open for everyone.
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:32
			It's a raise, ya Ikhwan.
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:36
			And for every sajdah, remember.
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:38
			For every sajdah, your ranking.
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:41
			You are raised one degree.
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:44
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will raise your
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:46
			ranking one degree.
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:48
			And will raise one of your sins.
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:50
			And it's up to you.
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:54
			My goal in this halaqah is to help
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:56
			you to love voluntary prayers.
		
00:25:56 --> 00:26:00
			And to change your perspective about voluntary prayers.
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:01
			Especially young people.
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:07
			So this hadith, I made a comment about
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:07
			it.
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:08
			But I'm not sure about it.
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:13
			That Jannah could be located in different planets,
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:14
			in different Allah wa alam.
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:16
			No one has said anything.
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18
			So I'm not going to confirm it.
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:20
			I would respect my limitations.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:23
			I cannot confirm it.
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:26
			But there is a hint in the hadith.
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:29
			That people on the day of judgment could
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:30
			be living in different planets.
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:32
			And think about it.
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:34
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has created billions
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:36
			of galaxies and planets.
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:37
			Maybe for a reason.
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:38
			Allah wa alam.
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:40
			I cannot confirm it.
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:43
			But there is a hint in this hadith.
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:47
			But what is confirmed in this hadith.
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:49
			That there will be on the day of
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51
			judgment, different levels.
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:54
			And there are some people who will be
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:55
			living in lofty mansions.
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:59
			And people will be looking at them without,
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:01
			by the way, without any grudges.
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:03
			Without any negative feelings.
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:06
			There is no negative feelings in Jannah.
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:08
			No grudges in Jannah.
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:10
			No pain in Jannah.
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:13
			And there is no regret.
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:15
			I searched this matter.
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			Is there any regret in Jannah?
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:18
			Yes, there is a hadith.
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:19
			Famous hadith.
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:23
			The people of Jannah will have
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:33
			no
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:36
			regrets except for an hour which passed by.
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:41
			In which they did not remember Allah subhanahu
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:41
			wa ta'ala.
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:43
			But this hadith is not confirmed.
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46
			Some ulama said it could be hassan.
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:48
			Some ulama said no, it is daif.
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:50
			So this hadith is controversial.
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:54
			That's why many ulama believe that there is
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:55
			no regret in Jannah.
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:57
			There is no regret.
		
00:27:58 --> 00:27:59
			Right?
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:01
			If there is any regret, it will be
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:02
			before.
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:04
			When people are taken to account before they
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:05
			enter Jannah.
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:08
			When people are taken to account and their
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:11
			deeds are presented to them, then they will
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:13
			feel the pain at that moment.
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:15
			But after they go to Jannah.
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:17
			So these people, yes, they recognize that there
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:20
			is a huge difference between them, people of
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:20
			Jannah.
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:23
			Between them and those who live in this
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:24
			lofty mansions.
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:28
			But without hassan, without jealousy, without envy, without
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:32
			any grudges, without any negative feelings.
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:35
			Because they will be happy too.
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:36
			The rest of the people will be happy
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:37
			in Jannah, right?
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:41
			But they will be able to recognize the
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:44
			difference between themselves, their status, their ranking and
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:47
			the ranking of those people who were racing
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:50
			towards Jannah with nawafil and with good deeds.
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:56
			The third proof about the excellence of voluntary
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:57
			prayers.
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:59
			There is a story that took place after
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:01
			the hijrah of Rasulallah ﷺ.
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:05
			And this story is amazing.
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:07
			This is a beautiful hadith.
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:10
			Rasulallah ﷺ, we know that he left the
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:12
			city of Mecca and he went to Medina.
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:17
			And everyone knows, everyone knows the way he
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:18
			left Mecca.
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:21
			He was not alive.
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:24
			People didn't give him a party in the
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:25
			city of Mecca.
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:30
			They were not friendly to him.
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:31
			They were trying to kill him, right?
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:36
			They sent people after him.
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:38
			They told them if anyone was able to
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:43
			catch Muhammad, and we say ﷺ, our Prophet.
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:47
			If anyone is able to bring him dead
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:50
			or alive, we give him 100 camels as
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:50
			a reward.
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:54
			So people were going into different directions looking
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:57
			for our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ with his companions.
		
00:29:58 --> 00:29:59
			Left the city of Mecca.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:02
			Before he left, they were trying to what?
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:05
			You know that, they were trying to kill
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:06
			him, to assassinate him.
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:07
			They had a plot.
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:10
			And they came, they surrounded his house.
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:15
			But luckily, alhamdulillah, Rasulallah ﷺ got the news
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:17
			from Jibreel that they were trying to kill
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:17
			him.
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:18
			So he left his house.
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:22
			And he left Ali ﷺ in his bed.
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:24
			And he knew that nothing will happen to
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:24
			Ali.
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:27
			I don't want you to think anything.
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:30
			Don't entertain any negative thought about this.
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:33
			He knew, Rasulallah ﷺ knew that nothing will
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:34
			happen to Ali.
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:36
			And Ali ibn Abi Talib will be safe.
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:43
			But anyway, these are the conditions in which
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:45
			Rasulallah ﷺ left the city of Mecca.
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:48
			He was running, fleeing the city.
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:52
			And these people were, they killed some of
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:52
			his companions.
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:54
			They were persecuting his companions.
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:57
			They did not accept his message.
		
00:30:57 --> 00:30:59
			They were saying he is a liar, he
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:02
			is a majnoon, a crazy, he was this
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:03
			and this and this and this.
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:04
			Right?
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:08
			Now he reached the city of Medina.
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:13
			Abdullah ibn Salam, who was a Jewish scholar
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:13
			at that time.
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:18
			He was a Jew before he accepted Islam.
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:21
			He said, I decided to go and look
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:22
			at the face of this man.
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:25
			Try to get more information about him.
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:26
			This man claimed that he is a prophet,
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:28
			that he is a messenger of God.
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:31
			And these people, they are the Jews, they
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:32
			got some knowledge.
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:34
			They got some knowledge about prophets and messengers.
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:39
			They are familiar with the Torah and the
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:40
			Injil.
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:42
			They have their own stories.
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:45
			And he was a scholar among his people.
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:48
			So he wanted to know, who is this
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:48
			man?
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:51
			And he said, I want to meet him.
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:53
			And I looked at his face.
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:57
			I recognized immediately that this is not the
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:58
			face of a liar.
		
00:31:58 --> 00:32:00
			But this is not the proof that I
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:02
			am trying to talk here, to use here.
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:07
			He said, the first thing when Rasulallah ﷺ
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:10
			reached the city of Medina, Rasulallah ﷺ made
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:11
			a statement.
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:13
			And this statement is very beautiful.
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:16
			And I believe that this is a miracle.
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:21
			Because if anyone else was in his shoes,
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:24
			if I was in his place, I wouldn't
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:25
			be speaking this language.
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:27
			I would be talking about my enemies.
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:29
			Now I reached the city of Medina.
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:33
			I am planning to build maybe an army,
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:35
			to build a state.
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:36
			We are powerful now.
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:40
			We should take revenge and do this and
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:41
			that and that and deal with them.
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:42
			We are going to show them.
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:47
			This is the language of someone who is
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:48
			in these conditions.
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:49
			They were trying to kill him.
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:51
			If he speaks this language, you give him
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:52
			the benefit of doubt.
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:55
			You say, okay, I mean, he has the
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:57
			right to speak this way because they were
		
00:32:57 --> 00:32:58
			about to kill him.
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:00
			You know what he said?
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:02
			What Rasulallah ﷺ said?
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:04
			The statement that he made.
		
00:33:15 --> 00:33:24
			He said, This hadith, we need to spend
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:25
			some time with it.
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:29
			He said, oh people, extend the greetings of
		
00:33:29 --> 00:33:30
			peace.
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:32
			The greetings of salam.
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:34
			They were trying to kill him.
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:35
			He is talking about peace.
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:38
			Rasulallah ﷺ.
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:40
			Feed people.
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:42
			Give food to people.
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:46
			And keep the ties of kinship.
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:49
			And pray at night.
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:51
			And this part is related to our subject
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:52
			tonight.
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:56
			This part is related to our subject tonight.
		
00:33:57 --> 00:34:00
			And pray at night while people are asleep.
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:03
			You will enter Jannah in peace.
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:06
			And we need to understand, what does it
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:07
			mean to enter Jannah in peace?
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:11
			Ya Ikhwan, this hadith is amazing.
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:13
			Wallahi, whenever I think about it, I just
		
00:34:13 --> 00:34:15
			say, la ilaha illallah.
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:18
			This man was Rasulallah haqqan.
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:19
			He was true messenger of God.
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:22
			Because if he was someone else, he would
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:23
			be behaving in a different way.
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:25
			He is talking about peace.
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:27
			About feeding the poor and the needy.
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:30
			He is talking about keeping the ties of
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:30
			kinship.
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:34
			His mind is in a different...
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:36
			He is thinking about other things.
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:38
			He is not thinking about his enemies who
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:39
			are trying to kill him.
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:42
			Because he was a true messenger of God.
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:43
			He was a teacher.
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:45
			He knew his mission very well.
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:47
			He knew his mission.
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:50
			He was sent as a teacher to teach
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:50
			humanity.
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:52
			Right?
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:53
			What a beautiful message.
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:57
			But what is related to our halaqah tonight,
		
00:34:57 --> 00:35:01
			is the part in which he said, صلوا
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:04
			بالليلي ونسوا نيام.
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:06
			Pray at night while people are asleep.
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:09
			So he is talking about voluntary prayers.
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:10
			Extra prayers at night.
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:13
			And he said, you will enter Jannah in
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:13
			peace.
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:16
			So he talked about the greeting of peace.
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:18
			And we need to know, offering salam.
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:21
			Offering salam is not wajib.
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:22
			It is recommended.
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:25
			Returning salam is wajib.
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:27
			You need to know that.
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:29
			And yeah, Ikhwan, please.
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:32
			There is a phenomenon in our communities.
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:33
			I don't know.
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:35
			I have no explanation for this phenomenon.
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:39
			A problem.
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:40
			I would call it a problem.
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:45
			That two people would be standing up together,
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:46
			talking to each other.
		
00:35:46 --> 00:35:47
			Two people.
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:50
			One of the brothers would come, because he
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:52
			knows the first one, he doesn't know the
		
00:35:52 --> 00:35:52
			second one.
		
00:35:52 --> 00:35:56
			He would shake hands with the first one,
		
00:35:56 --> 00:36:00
			and completely ignore the second one and leaves.
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:04
			To me, this is a big problem.
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:07
			You have a Muslim here standing up, talking
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:09
			to the other brother.
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:11
			You come and you shake hands with one
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:13
			of the brothers, and you ignore the second
		
00:36:13 --> 00:36:14
			one because you don't know him.
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:18
			I have seen it many times.
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:20
			In this community and other communities.
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:26
			وَهَذِهِ مِنْ عَلَامَاتِ السَّاعَةِ السَّلَامُ بِالْمَعْرِفَةِ One of
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:28
			the signs, minor signs of the Day of
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:30
			Judgment, is that people will offer Salam based
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:33
			on معرفة, relationship.
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:34
			If you don't have a relationship with him,
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:36
			he doesn't offer Salam to you.
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:39
			If you don't know the person, you don't
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:40
			say Salam to them.
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:44
			So Rasulullah ﷺ, he said, أَفْشُوا, you know
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:46
			أَفْشُوا, what does أَفْشُوا extend?
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:49
			Spread the greetings of Salam.
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:54
			This is the first instruction or piece of
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:54
			guidance.
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:56
			And then he said, feed people.
		
00:36:56 --> 00:37:00
			And the Ulama, they said, feeding people here
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:03
			include, honoring your guests, giving food to your
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:04
			guests, number one.
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:08
			Giving food as a gift to other people,
		
00:37:08 --> 00:37:08
			gift.
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:11
			And feeding the poor and the needy.
		
00:37:11 --> 00:37:13
			Three ways of feeding people.
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:16
			Honoring your guests by giving them food.
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:18
			Giving food as a gift to your neighbor
		
00:37:18 --> 00:37:20
			or friend or someone else.
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:22
			And also feeding the poor and the needy.
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:23
			This is number two.
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:25
			And then he said, keep the ties of
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:26
			kinship.
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:29
			And we know Salatul Rahim is a big
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:31
			subject in our deen.
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:35
			And I think the lowest level of keeping
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:38
			the ties of kinship, is that you purify
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:39
			your hearts.
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:43
			I purify my heart from any hard feelings
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:45
			towards my family members.
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:50
			Nothing in my heart, nothing in my heart
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:52
			against my family members.
		
00:37:52 --> 00:37:56
			This is the lowest maybe, the minimum requirement.
		
00:37:56 --> 00:37:59
			The lowest level of keeping the ties of
		
00:37:59 --> 00:38:00
			kinship, Salatul Rahim.
		
00:38:01 --> 00:38:03
			And then he said, pray at night while
		
00:38:03 --> 00:38:04
			people are asleep.
		
00:38:04 --> 00:38:07
			You will enter paradise in peace.
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:08
			What does it mean in peace?
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:09
			This is very important.
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:13
			So Alim, one of the Ulama, he said,
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:18
			it means you will not enter Jahannam before
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:19
			you go into paradise.
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:26
			And you will not be taken to account
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:27
			extensively.
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:41
			If anyone is interrogated while being taken to
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:43
			account, he will be punished.
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:48
			If someone is taken to a large extent,
		
00:38:48 --> 00:38:52
			taken to account to a large extent, extensively,
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:55
			that means the Malaikah will look at every
		
00:38:55 --> 00:38:57
			deed and they will ask him about every
		
00:38:57 --> 00:39:00
			sin, this person definitely he will be punished.
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:09
			So, we can conclude from this ahadith that
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:12
			the people of Jannah are three types.
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:14
			There are three groups.
		
00:39:14 --> 00:39:17
			The first group, they enter Jannah without hisab.
		
00:39:18 --> 00:39:21
			Without being taken to account.
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:27
			Going to Jannah without any question.
		
00:39:28 --> 00:39:29
			First group.
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:32
			And they are not 70,000, they are
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:33
			more than 70,000.
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:36
			Because there is a hadith that says they
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:38
			are 70,000, but there is another hadith
		
00:39:38 --> 00:39:40
			that these 70,000 will make shafa'ah
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:42
			to a bigger number of Muslims, and they
		
00:39:42 --> 00:39:42
			will go with them.
		
00:39:43 --> 00:39:43
			Big number.
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:45
			Insha'Allah, Ya Rabb.
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:47
			So, this is the first group.
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:49
			The second group who will enter Jannah after
		
00:39:49 --> 00:39:52
			being taken to account in an easy way.
		
00:39:55 --> 00:40:01
			So, his account is easy.
		
00:40:01 --> 00:40:02
			This is the second group.
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:06
			The third group who will enter Jannah, these
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:11
			people have committed major sins, and they were
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:13
			not forgiven for these major sins, but they
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:14
			are Muslims.
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:17
			They will go, Umar, pay attention.
		
00:40:18 --> 00:40:19
			Pay attention, Umar.
		
00:40:22 --> 00:40:23
			Umar, pay attention.
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:25
			He's not listening.
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:28
			You're talking.
		
00:40:28 --> 00:40:29
			I want you to pay attention.
		
00:40:30 --> 00:40:35
			The third group of people, will go to
		
00:40:35 --> 00:40:39
			Jannah after they go to Jahannam.
		
00:40:40 --> 00:40:42
			So, their hisab will be extensive.
		
00:40:44 --> 00:40:47
			They are taken to account extensively, in details,
		
00:40:48 --> 00:40:50
			and then they will go to Jahannam, and
		
00:40:50 --> 00:40:52
			then they will be forgiven, and they go
		
00:40:52 --> 00:40:53
			to Jannah.
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:54
			Three groups.
		
00:40:54 --> 00:40:57
			So, the first two groups will enter Jannah
		
00:40:57 --> 00:40:57
			in peace.
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:00
			These are the ones who will enter Jannah
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:01
			in peace.
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:05
			This is the first group of people.
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:06
			The first two groups, sorry.
		
00:41:07 --> 00:41:09
			The first two groups of people, those who
		
00:41:09 --> 00:41:12
			will enter Jannah without any hisab, and those
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:16
			who will enter Jannah about, after being taken
		
00:41:16 --> 00:41:18
			to account in an easy way.
		
00:41:18 --> 00:41:19
			Hisab yaseer.
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:20
			What is hisab yaseer?
		
00:41:21 --> 00:41:25
			The ulema, they said, is arzul a'mal, presentation
		
00:41:25 --> 00:41:25
			of deeds.
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:28
			His deeds will be presented to him.
		
00:41:28 --> 00:41:30
			Yeah, no, this day you did this, and
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:31
			this, and this.
		
00:41:31 --> 00:41:32
			Just, he will be reminded.
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:34
			He will be reminded.
		
00:41:34 --> 00:41:36
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will say,
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:37
			Okay, I'll forgive you today.
		
00:41:37 --> 00:41:39
			He will not go to Jannah.
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:41
			But his deeds will be presented to him.
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:43
			This is hisab yaseer.
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:44
			Easy account.
		
00:41:45 --> 00:41:47
			But the third group, they will be in
		
00:41:47 --> 00:41:47
			trouble.
		
00:41:47 --> 00:41:50
			So, if you want to be among the
		
00:41:50 --> 00:41:52
			first group of people, or the second group,
		
00:41:52 --> 00:41:54
			you enter Jannah in peace, you do what?
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:02
			Night salah, and?
		
00:42:03 --> 00:42:05
			Voluntary, increase your voluntary prayers.
		
00:42:06 --> 00:42:08
			In general, Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam here
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:09
			mentioned qiyam al-layl.
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:14
			But all voluntary prayers should be, inshallah, included.
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:16
			Increase your voluntary prayers.
		
00:42:19 --> 00:42:23
			So that is the hadith, the beautiful hadith,
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:24
			when Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam went to
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:25
			the city of Medina.
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:29
			The other proofs, there are some other proofs.
		
00:42:29 --> 00:42:33
			I have the fourth proof here, about the
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:35
			excellence of voluntary prayers.
		
00:42:35 --> 00:42:37
			And Uqba ibn Aamir radiallahu anhu, that he
		
00:42:37 --> 00:42:40
			heard Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam say, What
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:43
			of you are Muslims who make wudu and
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:44
			perform wudu?
		
00:42:44 --> 00:42:48
			Look at the steps of this, this, you
		
00:42:48 --> 00:42:49
			know, prayer here.
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:50
			So you make wudu.
		
00:42:50 --> 00:42:52
			He makes wudu and performs wudu.
		
00:42:52 --> 00:42:56
			Then he stands up, and prays two rak
		
00:42:56 --> 00:42:56
			'ahs.
		
00:42:57 --> 00:43:01
			He is welcomed with his heart and his
		
00:43:01 --> 00:43:01
			face.
		
00:43:01 --> 00:43:03
			With his heart and his face.
		
00:43:06 --> 00:43:07
			Allah Akbar.
		
00:43:07 --> 00:43:08
			Just for two rak'ahs.
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:11
			Look at this hadith, this hadith is amazing.
		
00:43:12 --> 00:43:12
			Sahih Muslim.
		
00:43:13 --> 00:43:14
			This hadith is in Sahih Muslim.
		
00:43:15 --> 00:43:16
			In this hadith Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:43:16 --> 00:43:19
			he said, If any Muslim performs ablution well,
		
00:43:20 --> 00:43:22
			he follow the sunnah, while doing wudu.
		
00:43:23 --> 00:43:25
			So you perform wudu in the best way.
		
00:43:25 --> 00:43:27
			Following the sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:43:27 --> 00:43:27
			sallam.
		
00:43:29 --> 00:43:31
			Then stands and pray two rak'ahs.
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:32
			Pay attention to this.
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:34
			Two rak'ahs.
		
00:43:34 --> 00:43:35
			He didn't say ten.
		
00:43:35 --> 00:43:36
			He didn't say twenty.
		
00:43:36 --> 00:43:37
			He didn't say thirty.
		
00:43:37 --> 00:43:39
			He said two rak'ahs.
		
00:43:40 --> 00:43:43
			Concentrating on them with his heart and face.
		
00:43:44 --> 00:43:45
			Face meaning he is not looking around.
		
00:43:47 --> 00:43:49
			His child is passing in front of him.
		
00:43:49 --> 00:43:51
			He is following his child with his eyes.
		
00:43:51 --> 00:43:53
			Or the cat is going around him.
		
00:43:54 --> 00:43:55
			Or whatever.
		
00:43:55 --> 00:43:57
			So he is not paying attention to anything
		
00:43:57 --> 00:43:58
			else.
		
00:43:58 --> 00:44:00
			He is looking at the qibla, the place
		
00:44:00 --> 00:44:03
			of his sujood, or in the direction of
		
00:44:03 --> 00:44:03
			the qibla.
		
00:44:04 --> 00:44:07
			But what is difficult is concentrating with his
		
00:44:07 --> 00:44:08
			heart.
		
00:44:08 --> 00:44:09
			This is kind of difficult.
		
00:44:10 --> 00:44:10
			It's very difficult.
		
00:44:11 --> 00:44:11
			You can try it.
		
00:44:12 --> 00:44:13
			You can try it.
		
00:44:13 --> 00:44:15
			But it's not impossible.
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:18
			Make wudu and pray just two rak'ahs.
		
00:44:18 --> 00:44:20
			He didn't say dhuhr or asr or kada.
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:21
			Just two rak'ahs.
		
00:44:22 --> 00:44:24
			But you do it with this attitude.
		
00:44:24 --> 00:44:25
			With this attitude.
		
00:44:25 --> 00:44:26
			That you don't.
		
00:44:27 --> 00:44:28
			You concentrate with your heart and face.
		
00:44:28 --> 00:44:30
			You don't think about anything else.
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:32
			What did he say?
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:36
			Then jannah will be guaranteed for him.
		
00:44:38 --> 00:44:40
			Jannah will be guaranteed.
		
00:44:40 --> 00:44:43
			إِلَّا وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةِ That means if a
		
00:44:43 --> 00:44:46
			person decides to make wudu in the best
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:49
			way, prays two rak'ahs with full concentration,
		
00:44:49 --> 00:44:54
			without thinking of anything else, he was fully
		
00:44:54 --> 00:44:57
			focused in his salat, he did his salat
		
00:44:57 --> 00:45:01
			with full khushu, and dies after these two
		
00:45:01 --> 00:45:03
			rak'ahs, what will happen to him?
		
00:45:04 --> 00:45:05
			Jannah is guaranteed.
		
00:45:06 --> 00:45:07
			He will be in jannah.
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:10
			Two rak'ahs only.
		
00:45:12 --> 00:45:15
			The fifth proof about the excellence of the
		
00:45:15 --> 00:45:18
			voluntary rak'ahs, عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ
		
00:45:18 --> 00:45:21
			عَنْهُ The messenger of Allah, SAW, was passing
		
00:45:21 --> 00:45:22
			by a grave..
		
00:45:23 --> 00:45:24
			He asked, who is the owner of this
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:25
			grave?
		
00:45:25 --> 00:45:25
			They said, this person.
		
00:45:26 --> 00:45:28
			He said, two rak'ahs are more dear
		
00:45:28 --> 00:45:30
			to me than the rest of your lives.
		
00:45:31 --> 00:45:34
			Or, in another narration, Two light rak'ahs,
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:39
			which you are missing, are more dear to
		
00:45:39 --> 00:45:46
			him than the rest of your lives.
		
00:45:46 --> 00:45:50
			So Rasulullah SAW in this story, Abu Huraira
		
00:45:50 --> 00:45:51
			is telling us about this story, he passed
		
00:45:51 --> 00:45:56
			by a grave, and he asked the sahaba,
		
00:45:56 --> 00:45:59
			who is buried in this grave?
		
00:45:59 --> 00:46:01
			Who is the companion of this grave?
		
00:46:01 --> 00:46:02
			من صاحب هذا القبر?
		
00:46:03 --> 00:46:04
			Who is the companion of this grave?
		
00:46:05 --> 00:46:07
			And they said, fulan, they mentioned a name.
		
00:46:07 --> 00:46:09
			The hadith doesn't mention a name.
		
00:46:09 --> 00:46:10
			So and so.
		
00:46:11 --> 00:46:14
			Muhammad or Ali or Ahmed or someone, a
		
00:46:14 --> 00:46:16
			Muslim who passed away, and he was buried
		
00:46:16 --> 00:46:17
			in that grave.
		
00:46:18 --> 00:46:21
			So Rasulullah SAW, he said, and this is
		
00:46:21 --> 00:46:24
			very important, the Akhwan, he said, two short
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:29
			rak'ahs, pay attention to the importance and
		
00:46:29 --> 00:46:32
			the beauty and the power of voluntary prayers.
		
00:46:32 --> 00:46:35
			Two short rak'ahs, which you don't pay
		
00:46:35 --> 00:46:39
			attention to their excellence.
		
00:46:40 --> 00:46:43
			We come here to the masjid, standing up
		
00:46:43 --> 00:46:44
			like this, praying two rak'ahs.
		
00:46:45 --> 00:46:47
			You don't feel like you're doing something great,
		
00:46:47 --> 00:46:47
			right?
		
00:46:48 --> 00:46:52
			He said, Rasulullah SAW, you don't pay attention
		
00:46:52 --> 00:46:53
			to their excellence.
		
00:46:54 --> 00:46:56
			You do them, but you don't pay attention
		
00:46:56 --> 00:46:57
			to their power.
		
00:46:57 --> 00:46:59
			To the power of these two rak'ahs
		
00:46:59 --> 00:46:59
			that we do.
		
00:47:00 --> 00:47:04
			So he said, I'm more beloved to this
		
00:47:04 --> 00:47:07
			man who is in the grave than the
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:08
			rest of your worthy life.
		
00:47:08 --> 00:47:09
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:47:11 --> 00:47:11
			Why?
		
00:47:12 --> 00:47:17
			Because this man, now, indahu yaqeem, now yaqeem,
		
00:47:18 --> 00:47:22
			certain knowledge, has no doubt about the value
		
00:47:22 --> 00:47:23
			of these prayers.
		
00:47:23 --> 00:47:25
			He's in the grave now.
		
00:47:27 --> 00:47:29
			Now, he doesn't think about his bank account,
		
00:47:29 --> 00:47:31
			has no value in his sight now.
		
00:47:32 --> 00:47:35
			Status in the community, no value.
		
00:47:35 --> 00:47:36
			Degree, nothing.
		
00:47:36 --> 00:47:36
			Nothing.
		
00:47:39 --> 00:47:41
			A name, fame, property.
		
00:47:43 --> 00:47:45
			Now, this man, he's in the grave, he
		
00:47:45 --> 00:47:47
			knows the value of these two rak'ahs.
		
00:47:48 --> 00:47:50
			That's why Rasulullah SAW said, these two rak
		
00:47:50 --> 00:47:54
			'ahs, which we don't, we don't value, we
		
00:47:54 --> 00:47:57
			don't pay attention to their excellence, they are
		
00:47:57 --> 00:47:59
			more beloved to this man who is in
		
00:47:59 --> 00:48:02
			the grave than the rest of your worthy
		
00:48:02 --> 00:48:02
			life.
		
00:48:03 --> 00:48:07
			And this hadith is sahih, sahih al-jamil.
		
00:48:09 --> 00:48:11
			And the hadith of al-awliya, there is
		
00:48:11 --> 00:48:14
			a beautiful hadith, this hadith is very important
		
00:48:14 --> 00:48:18
			because it tells us how to reach this
		
00:48:18 --> 00:48:22
			status, to have a close relationship with Allah,
		
00:48:22 --> 00:48:25
			to be a wali of Allah, to be
		
00:48:25 --> 00:48:27
			described as a close friend.
		
00:48:27 --> 00:48:31
			I have some reservation about this translation, close
		
00:48:31 --> 00:48:34
			friends of Allah, but I don't have an
		
00:48:34 --> 00:48:34
			alternative.
		
00:48:35 --> 00:48:38
			If you know an alternative, let me know
		
00:48:38 --> 00:48:38
			about it.
		
00:48:39 --> 00:48:41
			But this is the description of a wali,
		
00:48:41 --> 00:48:44
			someone who has a very strong relationship with
		
00:48:44 --> 00:48:45
			Allah SWT.
		
00:48:46 --> 00:48:49
			So this hadith is in Bukhari, and it
		
00:48:49 --> 00:48:50
			is a Qudsi hadith.
		
00:48:51 --> 00:48:53
			The message is coming from Allah.
		
00:48:54 --> 00:48:55
			A Qudsi hadith.
		
00:48:56 --> 00:48:59
			And we learn our priorities from this hadith.
		
00:48:59 --> 00:49:03
			We learn our priorities from this hadith.
		
00:49:03 --> 00:49:06
			So he said, Rasulallah SAW said, inna Allaha
		
00:49:06 --> 00:49:09
			ta'ala qal, man aada li waliyan faqad
		
00:49:09 --> 00:49:11
			aadhantuhu bilharb.
		
00:49:11 --> 00:49:15
			man aada li waliyan faqad aadhantuhu bilharb.
		
00:49:15 --> 00:49:20
			Which means, whoever shows enmity to a wali
		
00:49:20 --> 00:49:26
			of mine, a close friend of mine, then
		
00:49:26 --> 00:49:28
			I have declared war against him.
		
00:49:28 --> 00:49:32
			Allah will declare war against this person, or
		
00:49:32 --> 00:49:37
			against this government, or against this regime, or
		
00:49:37 --> 00:49:42
			against this party, or against this militia, anything.
		
00:49:43 --> 00:49:45
			You declare war against a wali of Allah
		
00:49:45 --> 00:49:48
			SWT, you are at war with Allah SWT.
		
00:49:49 --> 00:49:52
			And you might maybe don't see the consequences
		
00:49:52 --> 00:49:55
			of your deeds, people don't see the consequences
		
00:49:55 --> 00:50:00
			of their deeds, but, yumhil wa la yuhmil.
		
00:50:01 --> 00:50:04
			Allah SWT give respite, but He does not
		
00:50:04 --> 00:50:05
			neglect.
		
00:50:06 --> 00:50:07
			He does not neglect.
		
00:50:08 --> 00:50:12
			Anyway, so Allah SWT is saying in this
		
00:50:12 --> 00:50:15
			Qudsi hadith, it's not Quran, man aada li
		
00:50:15 --> 00:50:17
			waliyan faqad aadhantuhu bilharb.
		
00:50:17 --> 00:50:19
			Then He told us how, what is the
		
00:50:19 --> 00:50:22
			best way to achieve this status.
		
00:50:23 --> 00:50:27
			wa ma taqarraba ilayya abdi bishay'in ahabba
		
00:50:27 --> 00:50:29
			ilayya mimma iftaraqtuhu alayhi.
		
00:50:30 --> 00:50:33
			Allah SWT said, and my servant does not
		
00:50:33 --> 00:50:37
			draw near to me with anything that is
		
00:50:37 --> 00:50:40
			more beloved to me than the religious duties
		
00:50:40 --> 00:50:43
			which I have obligated upon him.
		
00:50:44 --> 00:50:46
			So you start with mandatory prayers.
		
00:50:47 --> 00:50:48
			You start with mandatory fast.
		
00:50:49 --> 00:50:51
			You take care of your zakat before you
		
00:50:51 --> 00:50:52
			give sadaqa.
		
00:50:53 --> 00:50:55
			You have to organize your priorities.
		
00:50:56 --> 00:51:01
			Allah SWT made an obligation upon you and
		
00:51:01 --> 00:51:03
			me to pray dhuhr on time, asr on
		
00:51:03 --> 00:51:03
			time.
		
00:51:04 --> 00:51:07
			I cannot just ignore and neglect my mandatory
		
00:51:07 --> 00:51:09
			prayers and at night, mashallah, I stand up
		
00:51:09 --> 00:51:10
			and do qiyam al-layl.
		
00:51:10 --> 00:51:11
			It doesn't work this way.
		
00:51:12 --> 00:51:15
			Because we heard some stories, or questions coming
		
00:51:15 --> 00:51:18
			to shuyukh about people who, they don't know
		
00:51:18 --> 00:51:21
			how to organize their, their priorities when it
		
00:51:21 --> 00:51:22
			comes to ibadah.
		
00:51:23 --> 00:51:25
			Someone who neglects his five daily prayers, he
		
00:51:25 --> 00:51:28
			doesn't do them properly, goes to work, and
		
00:51:28 --> 00:51:29
			he doesn't pray dhuhr on time, he doesn't
		
00:51:29 --> 00:51:32
			pray asr on time, comes home, he prays
		
00:51:32 --> 00:51:35
			dhuhr and asr and maghrib maybe together, and
		
00:51:35 --> 00:51:37
			this is a major problem.
		
00:51:38 --> 00:51:40
			At night, after isha, he would do qiyam
		
00:51:40 --> 00:51:40
			al-layl.
		
00:51:41 --> 00:51:42
			I mean, it's better for you to take
		
00:51:42 --> 00:51:44
			care of dhuhr and asr, pray them on
		
00:51:44 --> 00:51:47
			time, and you don't do qiyam al-layl,
		
00:51:47 --> 00:51:49
			then you will be in the safe side,
		
00:51:50 --> 00:51:50
			inshallah.
		
00:51:51 --> 00:51:53
			You'll be like the Arabi, the Bedouin, who
		
00:51:53 --> 00:51:54
			came to Rasulullah s.a.w. and he
		
00:51:54 --> 00:51:56
			said, I will do exactly what you said.
		
00:51:57 --> 00:51:58
			I'm not going to add anything, I'm not
		
00:51:58 --> 00:51:59
			going to delete anything.
		
00:52:00 --> 00:52:01
			And Rasulullah s.a.w. said, he will
		
00:52:01 --> 00:52:04
			be successful if he's saying the truth, right?
		
00:52:05 --> 00:52:07
			So Allah s.w.t in this Qudsi
		
00:52:07 --> 00:52:11
			hadith, is telling us, these are your priorities.
		
00:52:11 --> 00:52:14
			You wanna have this close relationship with Allah?
		
00:52:14 --> 00:52:16
			You start with the mandatory prayers.
		
00:52:17 --> 00:52:21
			All mandatory acts of worship, including zakat, hajj.
		
00:52:23 --> 00:52:25
			Like, if someone goes to Umrah for 10
		
00:52:25 --> 00:52:28
			times, every time he would spend 3,000,
		
00:52:28 --> 00:52:32
			4,000, multiply by 10, that's 30,000
		
00:52:32 --> 00:52:33
			and 40,000.
		
00:52:33 --> 00:52:34
			How about hajj?
		
00:52:36 --> 00:52:38
			This is rukn min al-arqan al-Islam,
		
00:52:38 --> 00:52:40
			one of the pillars of Islam.
		
00:52:40 --> 00:52:42
			Hajj is more important than Umrah.
		
00:52:42 --> 00:52:45
			Because the ulama disagreed about Umrah, whether it
		
00:52:45 --> 00:52:46
			is obligatory or not.
		
00:52:47 --> 00:52:50
			The right opinion could be obligatory, but at
		
00:52:50 --> 00:52:52
			least they had their disagreement about the status
		
00:52:52 --> 00:52:53
			of Umrah.
		
00:52:53 --> 00:52:55
			But no one disagreed about hajj, the status
		
00:52:55 --> 00:52:56
			of hajj.
		
00:52:56 --> 00:53:00
			Hajj is a faridah, is mandatory, agreed upon.
		
00:53:00 --> 00:53:02
			So you take care of your hajj, right?
		
00:53:03 --> 00:53:04
			If you went to Umrah one time, then
		
00:53:04 --> 00:53:07
			maybe next plan would be, should be for
		
00:53:07 --> 00:53:07
			hajj, right?
		
00:53:08 --> 00:53:10
			You save more money, inshallah, to go for
		
00:53:10 --> 00:53:10
			hajj.
		
00:53:10 --> 00:53:12
			This is just an idea, I'm just sharing
		
00:53:12 --> 00:53:13
			ideas here.
		
00:53:14 --> 00:53:16
			But let's talk about salah.
		
00:53:16 --> 00:53:18
			Salah, you take care of your five daily
		
00:53:18 --> 00:53:19
			prayers.
		
00:53:19 --> 00:53:20
			Do them on time.
		
00:53:20 --> 00:53:22
			And then inshallah, you take care of your
		
00:53:22 --> 00:53:23
			nawafil.
		
00:53:23 --> 00:53:26
			And this is what Allah said, وَلَا يَزَالُ
		
00:53:26 --> 00:53:33
			عَبْدِي يَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيَّ بِالنَّوَافِلِ حَتَّى أُحِبَّهِ يا سلام
		
00:53:34 --> 00:53:39
			فَإِذَا أَحْبَبْتُهُ كُنتُ سَمْعَهُ الَّذِي يَسْمَعُ بِهِ وَبَصَرَهُ
		
00:53:39 --> 00:53:44
			الَّذِي يُبْصِرُ بِهِ وَيَدَهُ الَّتِي يَبْطِشُ بِهَا وَرِجْلَهُ
		
00:53:44 --> 00:53:49
			الَّتِي يَمْشِي بِهَا وَلَا إِنْ سَأَلَنِي لَأُعْطِيَنَّهُ وَلَا
		
00:53:49 --> 00:53:54
			إِنْ إِسْتَعَاذَنِي لَأُعِيذَنَّهُ Complete protection.
		
00:53:54 --> 00:53:57
			So he said, after he talked about the
		
00:53:57 --> 00:54:00
			mandatory prayers, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said,
		
00:54:00 --> 00:54:02
			I'm saying Allah because it's Qudsi hadith.
		
00:54:03 --> 00:54:06
			And my servant continues, continues, after he took
		
00:54:06 --> 00:54:09
			care of his mandatory prayers, continues to draw
		
00:54:09 --> 00:54:12
			near to me with nawafil.
		
00:54:12 --> 00:54:15
			We're talking about voluntary prayers here, with nawafil
		
00:54:15 --> 00:54:20
			and voluntary deeds, until I love him.
		
00:54:21 --> 00:54:24
			So you continue doing the nawafil, at a
		
00:54:24 --> 00:54:27
			certain point, Allah will love you.
		
00:54:28 --> 00:54:31
			And then he said, فَإِذَا أَحْبَبْتُهُ When I
		
00:54:31 --> 00:54:32
			love you, what will happen?
		
00:54:33 --> 00:54:35
			I will become his hearing with which he
		
00:54:35 --> 00:54:39
			hears, and his sight with which he sees,
		
00:54:39 --> 00:54:43
			his hands with which he strikes, his leg
		
00:54:43 --> 00:54:44
			with which he walks.
		
00:54:46 --> 00:54:48
			And if he asks me something, I give
		
00:54:48 --> 00:54:48
			it.
		
00:54:49 --> 00:54:49
			I give him.
		
00:54:50 --> 00:54:53
			And if he asks for my, seeks my
		
00:54:53 --> 00:54:57
			protection or refuge, I will surely protect him.
		
00:54:57 --> 00:54:58
			This is in Bukhari.
		
00:54:59 --> 00:55:00
			This is in Bukhari, Ikhwan.
		
00:55:01 --> 00:55:03
			And this is of course, all the ulama
		
00:55:03 --> 00:55:05
			agree that this is a figurative speech.
		
00:55:05 --> 00:55:10
			I become his sight with which he sees,
		
00:55:10 --> 00:55:14
			his hearing with which he hears.
		
00:55:14 --> 00:55:17
			All of them agree that this is metaphorical.
		
00:55:18 --> 00:55:22
			This is not real, right?
		
00:55:23 --> 00:55:26
			Allah SWT doesn't become your sight with which
		
00:55:26 --> 00:55:26
			you see.
		
00:55:27 --> 00:55:29
			But it means that Allah SWT will protect
		
00:55:29 --> 00:55:31
			your sight, will protect your hearing.
		
00:55:32 --> 00:55:33
			You don't hear something haram.
		
00:55:33 --> 00:55:34
			You don't see something haram.
		
00:55:35 --> 00:55:36
			You try to lower your gaze.
		
00:55:37 --> 00:55:39
			You don't do something haram with your hands.
		
00:55:39 --> 00:55:41
			You don't do something haram.
		
00:55:41 --> 00:55:43
			You don't walk to something haram with your
		
00:55:43 --> 00:55:44
			feet.
		
00:55:44 --> 00:55:46
			So you become protected.
		
00:55:46 --> 00:55:49
			Allah SWT is protecting you, is guiding you.
		
00:55:49 --> 00:55:51
			And then if you make dua, if Allah
		
00:55:51 --> 00:55:53
			knows that this is good for you, He
		
00:55:53 --> 00:55:53
			will give it to you.
		
00:55:54 --> 00:55:57
			Otherwise He will protect you against a masiba,
		
00:55:57 --> 00:55:59
			a calamity, or He will save it to
		
00:55:59 --> 00:56:01
			you on the day of judgment.
		
00:56:01 --> 00:56:04
			And if you seek His protection, He will
		
00:56:04 --> 00:56:05
			give it to you.
		
00:56:06 --> 00:56:08
			You become a wali of Allah by doing
		
00:56:08 --> 00:56:09
			what?
		
00:56:10 --> 00:56:11
			Following the right steps.
		
00:56:11 --> 00:56:14
			Taking care of your mandatory prayers, mandatory acts
		
00:56:14 --> 00:56:14
			of worship.
		
00:56:15 --> 00:56:16
			And then you increase your nawafil.
		
00:56:17 --> 00:56:20
			And there is also another story about those
		
00:56:20 --> 00:56:22
			whom Allah SWT loves.
		
00:56:23 --> 00:56:25
			If Allah loves you, what will happen to
		
00:56:25 --> 00:56:25
			you?
		
00:56:26 --> 00:56:27
			There is another story.
		
00:56:27 --> 00:56:29
			And this hadith also is found in Bukhari.
		
00:56:29 --> 00:56:31
			So the first one is in Bukhari.
		
00:56:31 --> 00:56:33
			The second one is in Sahih Bukhari too.
		
00:56:34 --> 00:56:47
			So Rasulullah SAW told us, Allah
		
00:56:47 --> 00:56:50
			will give a command to Jibreel to love
		
00:56:50 --> 00:56:50
			so and so.
		
00:56:51 --> 00:56:55
			So Rasulullah SAW said, When Allah loves someone,
		
00:56:55 --> 00:56:57
			He will call upon Jibreel.
		
00:56:57 --> 00:56:59
			I love so and so, so love him.
		
00:57:00 --> 00:57:01
			Jibreel will love him.
		
00:57:02 --> 00:57:03
			Will love this person.
		
00:57:04 --> 00:57:12
			And then Rasulullah SAW said, Jibreel will call
		
00:57:12 --> 00:57:15
			out the people of the heavens.
		
00:57:15 --> 00:57:17
			Who are the people of the heavens?
		
00:57:18 --> 00:57:19
			Malaika, angels.
		
00:57:20 --> 00:57:23
			And he will say, Allah SWT loves so
		
00:57:23 --> 00:57:25
			and so, so love him.
		
00:57:25 --> 00:57:27
			So the malaika in the heavens will love
		
00:57:27 --> 00:57:28
			this person.
		
00:57:29 --> 00:57:38
			And then, Then acceptance is placed on earth
		
00:57:38 --> 00:57:39
			for him.
		
00:57:40 --> 00:57:42
			The believers will feel comfortable with this person.
		
00:57:43 --> 00:57:44
			Believers will listen to this person.
		
00:57:45 --> 00:57:48
			He will have a better relationship with the
		
00:57:48 --> 00:57:49
			rest of the believers.
		
00:57:50 --> 00:57:52
			It doesn't mean that on earth, doesn't mean
		
00:57:52 --> 00:57:53
			that everyone will love him.
		
00:57:53 --> 00:57:55
			Because the people of kuffar will not love
		
00:57:55 --> 00:57:56
			this person.
		
00:57:56 --> 00:57:57
			Obviously.
		
00:57:57 --> 00:57:58
			The kuffar will not love him.
		
00:57:59 --> 00:58:00
			He is following the straight path.
		
00:58:00 --> 00:58:03
			The hypocrites will not love him.
		
00:58:04 --> 00:58:05
			But the people of faith, the people of
		
00:58:05 --> 00:58:06
			iman will love him.
		
00:58:07 --> 00:58:08
			Will respect him.
		
00:58:08 --> 00:58:10
			He will have a better relationship with the
		
00:58:10 --> 00:58:11
			rest of the believers.
		
00:58:12 --> 00:58:13
			And the angels will love him.
		
00:58:13 --> 00:58:16
			And Jibreel, the chief of all the angels
		
00:58:16 --> 00:58:16
			will love him.
		
00:58:17 --> 00:58:20
			And before that, Allah SWT will love him.
		
00:58:20 --> 00:58:25
			This is in Sahih Bukhari.
		
00:58:26 --> 00:58:27
			You make a connection between this hadith and
		
00:58:27 --> 00:58:28
			the first hadith.
		
00:58:29 --> 00:58:32
			This hadith doesn't talk about nawafil.
		
00:58:33 --> 00:58:35
			But you have to put together, 1 plus
		
00:58:35 --> 00:58:38
			1 equal to, put these two hadith together.
		
00:58:39 --> 00:58:39
			Right?
		
00:58:39 --> 00:58:42
			This is the end result of someone who
		
00:58:42 --> 00:58:45
			organized his priorities, took care of his mandatory
		
00:58:45 --> 00:58:47
			prayers, and then he kept on doing nawafil.
		
00:58:47 --> 00:58:51
			Until Allah SWT loved him.
		
00:58:51 --> 00:58:53
			I think that's enough for tonight.
		
00:59:08 --> 00:59:11
			And next week inshallah, we'll start talking about
		
00:59:11 --> 00:59:12
			these nawafil.
		
00:59:12 --> 00:59:14
			The classification of different nawafil.
		
00:59:14 --> 00:59:16
			What is highly recommended, what is not highly
		
00:59:16 --> 00:59:17
			recommended.
		
00:59:17 --> 00:59:19
			The sunan of Rasulallah ﷺ.
		
00:59:19 --> 00:59:20
			There are some disagreements there.
		
00:59:21 --> 00:59:25
			Talk about witr, about tuha, about sunnatul wudu,
		
00:59:26 --> 00:59:27
			about tahiyyatul masjid.
		
00:59:27 --> 00:59:29
			And all the different, try to cover all
		
00:59:29 --> 00:59:32
			the different volunteer prayers in the next maybe
		
00:59:32 --> 00:59:33
			two weeks inshallah.
		
00:59:33 --> 00:59:35
			Because some people are confused about what is
		
00:59:35 --> 00:59:37
			highly recommended, what is not highly recommended.
		
00:59:38 --> 00:59:40
			We'll try to share with you some ahadith
		
00:59:40 --> 00:59:41
			about these nawafil inshallah.
		
00:59:42 --> 00:59:44
			And we teach them to our kids and
		
00:59:44 --> 00:59:44
			our families.
		
00:59:44 --> 00:59:48
			Share this knowledge with our friends, community members.
		
00:59:49 --> 00:59:51
			If someone else gets this knowledge from you,
		
00:59:52 --> 00:59:55
			and they act upon it, you get the
		
00:59:55 --> 00:59:55
			same reward.
		
00:59:56 --> 00:59:56
			Same reward.
		
00:59:57 --> 00:59:59
			So don't neglect your family members and your
		
00:59:59 --> 01:00:00
			friends and your neighbors.
		
01:00:02 --> 01:00:05
			And people nowadays are able to share through
		
01:00:05 --> 01:00:09
			WhatsApp, through Facebook, through Instagram, or by talking
		
01:00:09 --> 01:00:11
			in person to other people.
		
01:00:17 --> 01:00:20
			And next week the halaqa will start at
		
01:00:20 --> 01:00:23
			7.30 after isha, immediately, like tonight.
		
01:00:24 --> 01:00:26
			But it will be 7.30 for the
		
01:00:26 --> 01:00:28
			whole winter inshallah.
		
01:00:28 --> 01:00:28
			Jazakum Allah khair.
