So the last muscle that we left
off with
Yeah. I think the last the last muscle
we we left off at was,
the person who is
not able to make sajdah,
that person could pray sitting, the person who
can't pray sitting,
with their legs crossed, they pray on their
right hand side. If they can't pray on
their right hand side, they can lie on
their back.
And
whoever cannot make,
they can gesture even if that gesture has
to just be with their with their eyes
and whatever gesture they make for
for sides that should be lower or more
than the gesture that they make for,
Ruku.
I'm trying to get you talking about the
mud and the rain. Yeah.
Mhmm.
Yeah. So after that, this this mess law
is repeated, the one that I read.
So if a person is on
a trip that
that,
they can that they're allowed to
shorten the prayers on,
which is what?
More than
how many miles? 32.
32 miles.
And, I actually, it's less than 32.
It's it's it should be less than 30.
Let me do the I always every single
time, I always forget and just redo the
calculation.
So let's see.
48
times.
32 miles outside your city limit.
Oh, that's city limit. Your city limit. That's
a little let's say,
like, not greater Chicago than necessarily. Like, who
do you live in the park? Yeah. I
mean, it feels right. Surf. Like
so so it's something outside of Carroll Street.
So, like,
Yes. It's actually 20 it's 27.7
miles.
It's actually 27.7
miles.
So it's a journey of a total of
27.7
miles. There's both opinions in the.
Both opinions in the Madhub,
27.7
miles and 48. The Fukaha of the of
the, of the Madhub prefer the 30 miles,
and the Muhandi Thun prefer the the 48.
So both opinions are
practicable,
but, but, yeah,
both opinions are practicable, but the the the
the the journey that's more than 27.7
miles from
your beginning point to your destination point,
but the but the Hukam, the ruling of
being a Musafir only starts once you leave
your city.
It only starts once you leave your city.
So,
so anyway, whoever is on such a journey,
that person, one of the one of the
ruhosur dispensations that they receive is that their
nawafil that they're praying, they can pray while
riding.
So that means if you're in the plane,
you could pray in your seat, the nawafil.
Nawafil means non farthed prayers,
including with or anything that's not farthed. The
word nawafil has two meanings. There's a a
general meaning and a specific meaning. The general
meaning is anything that's not farred, and the
specific meaning is those non farred prayers that
are neither sunnahs nor sunnahuakada
nor Rahiba.
So,
this is the general meaning of nafil. Meaning
anything that's not far that you can pray
it in your seat whatever direction whatever direction
you're facing.
So anything other than the Fard, you're you're
you're given the the permission to
to to do that. Now
what if you're driving?
Some of the say it's okay, some of
them say it's not. The ones who say
it's okay, they say it's okay because look,
you're,
you know, you're you're traveling and you're,
you know, in your car, so it should
be okay. The ones who object to it,
they say that, hands at the steering wheel
and you're checking your mirrors and all that
other stuff, you'll invalidate your prayer
because of because of all that activity and
non focus on the prayer. So maybe if
you're in the passenger seat, it would be
valid, but as a driver, it wouldn't be.
I think that there is, some sort of
common sense a person can use in the
middle as well. So if you're on, like,
a stretch of highway and you're gonna be
driving for the next 40 miles, then,
really all you need to have is one
hand on the
one hand on the steering wheel, you know,
and it's like a clear road.
I think that's that's reasonable if you hit
the brake a little bit or if you
if you change lanes or something like that.
I don't think that's enough to get you
out of the prayer.
However, if you're in, like, downtown and you're,
like, racing with somebody and or you're trying
to, like, outrun the cops to get to
the state line,
because they caught your whatever,
unlicensed,
whatever, like, phobe stall,
which, you know, only open thobe stalls with
proper licenses and comply with state, local and
federal officials and don't try to outrun them
to the state line. But if that happens,
then that probably won't be a a a
a scenario in which you're gonna be able
to pray in your seat. Would you guys
be driving in a direction of the Qibla?
Yeah. No. It says, hey, the math of
what you had to be here. So in
that in that case, also, the the obligation
to face the Qibla is is is waived.
Because it's not far. Right? Because not far.
Gotcha.
Whereas the farth prayer, you should pull over
and pray your 2 rakah standing.
And then, like, driving while not being scented,
it will only applies for knuckles above it.
Mhmm. Like,
like, this exception only applies for knuckles. Right?
Yeah. This exception only
applies to those prayers that are not
So,
the the the the sick person
should also
get down and pray on the earth,
unless, if they're only going
to end up only praying by gesture on
the floor as well. So there's one thing
when you pray sitting and you actually can
make sense of that. If that's the case
and you can do so, then you should
get down and pray sitting on the earth.
If you're not able to do if you're
just gonna sit on the earth and just
pray by gesture and not actually be able
to do the full sides of that, then
then you just pray on the bed. You
don't have to get down.
This is this is a sick person who's
traveling.
This is a sick person who's traveling.
So he he he can also pray his
he can also pray his prayer on the
mount if he's just gonna get down and
have to gesture anyway.
And so he just stops the mount, faces
it toward the tibla, and just prays on
top of it. Doesn't have to get down.
For the fard prayers. For the fard prayer.
And For the fard prayer. And then for
the Nawafil, then he prayed just like, just
like the
other traveler prayed.
And this is something this is something, you
know,
people in the old days, things were rough,
man.
Riding an animal is not as comfortable as
sitting in a car.
You have to, like, keep your balance so
you don't fall off and the the the
animal moves in a weird way. So you
have to keep your back straight. You have
to I mean, it's it it was it
was an exercise. It was just like easier
than walking, but it's not like it's not
exercise.
It requires a lot of core strength.
So if you're sick and you had to
ride then
anyway, people were a lot tougher back then
than they are now.
Or for that matter, just some blood starts,
you know, as they start to bleed or
whatever,
that person should
very gently
walk to another part of the mustard if
there's like, for example, you see like the
box of tissues or whatever.
Or, if there's some water, you know, close
by,
like a fountain or something. In the old
days, the massages used to have courtyards and
there's a fountain in the middle of courtyard
that people made will do in oftentimes.
Anyone ever made will do from a fountain
before?
I've made will do you know, I mean,
Millennium Park with the the Venus. Mhmm. They
got the fountains over there.
Yeah. Okay. So, like, yeah, basically,
the there are a lot of massages. There's
a fountain in the middle and the fountain
has pitchers around it and, like, a drain
underneath it. So people would just get the
get the water out of the pitchers and
then pour the water outside on the limbs
and things like that. So if it's something
you can just walk while facing the kibla,
you just walk very, you know, slowly and
softly,
one step at a time, back to that
place, wash the nosebleed or whatever, plug it
up, stick the whatever tissues in there or
wash whatever blood you have on your hands,
then you can do it while in the
state of prayer and then go back. But
the,
and,
actually, if you do it in that way
where you're facing the qiblah and you're, walking
very softly,
actually, you're you may be technically in the
prayer the whole time.
You can actually turn around, go if it's
a close place, you can actually turn around
and go and, wash your wash the blood
out of your your hands and and things
like that. As long as you don't talk
in the middle, you don't walk and do
something to break your will do in the
middle, you don't talk, you don't do any
of that stuff.
What you can do is, like, for example,
you prayed 2 rakahs and your nose started
bleeding in the 3rd.
You can just go and, do whatever it
is, and if you get back and catch
the imam at 4th, then you have 3
rakas.
The 1 and 2 that you finished.
The partial rakat that you left in, you
doesn't count. You have to make that up.
But if you catch the imam in the
4th that one will count and then you
just after salam get up and make up
the 4th.
But this is this is for like where
the water or the tissues are close by
and you don't talk in the middle, you
don't break your wudu in the middle, you
don't do any other action that's going to
break the slot other than going to going
to,
you know, get whatever you need to to
clean up your hands and your nose and
things like that.
And this is this is Malik considers this
to be a
a
a hokum special for for nosebleeds
or for bleeding.
Abu Hanifa, this is his actually fatwa for
for salat in general. Right? In the Maliki
Medheb, if your wudu breaks in the salat,
your salat's gone. Done. You just go make
wudu and start again from scratch.
The Hanafis, they consider because they consider the
the bleeding to break the wudu, so they
consider this to be what you do for
every time your wudu breaks. Whereas the Malekis,
they consider that the wudu breaks a sloth
as toast,
but, when the when nosebleed because we don't
consider bleeding to break the wudu. The reason
the bleeding is a problem is because the
blood is nudges. Once it leaves the body,
it becomes nudges. You can't be, you know,
like, all bleeding and stuff and you're praying
and you get the blood on the
on the floor in the masjid
and all over yourself. And it's you know,
if you have blood on your person or
on your clothes,
that that's a problem in the prayer. So
you're allowed to.
If if bleeding, you're allowed to go and
take care of that and then join the
rakas that you complete
from beginning to end.
You keep the rakka in which you had
to leave, you have to make up, and
then when you join again, you get to
keep the the rakka you caught. So if
you can get back to the imam before
he makes ruku, you get to keep that
rakka as well.
And that's for the person who bleeds a
lot. If a if the blood is just
a little bit,
like you, you know, it just bloodies one
finger or 2 fingers,
then,
you know, as long as you can make
Saaz then finish the prayer without without bloodying
the
the the the floor of the masjid or
whatever,
then and you don't you're not even supposed
to then,
you're not even supposed to go and,
wash it. You just finish the prayer and
be done with it.
Hadith of this comes in the mama
Malik.
Yeah.
What's it called? So what if, like,
you're, going to get that tissue paper, but
then you accidentally,
your, back towards the giblet. That's fine. If
you can do it without putting your back
toward the qiblah, then you're in the prayer
the whole time.
Okay. You understand what I'm saying? Yeah. The
prayer the whole time. So for example, if
I'm just praying and there's like tissues like
5 feet, like to the right of me,
if I
tableau one step at a time, I'm still
in the prayer. I haven't broken the prayer
yet. No, but what if you face away
from the tableau? Yeah. If you turn away
and face away from the
if you have to do that in order
to take our care of this, then it's
like I said, you keep the slot that
you've done,
the that you've done, and then the the
rakaat that you left in, you have to
make that one up. And then the ones
you catch afterward, you gotta keep those as
well with the imam. As long as you
don't do something else, like, other than the
bleeding and that the going to wash the
blood, something else that ruins a prayer. Like
breaking your wudu,
like talking to somebody,
like stepping on nudges or or or some
other type of nudges or whatever,
as long as you you don't violate those
other,
those other rules.
Well, I am sorry if ludamil kafif. If
it's just a little bit of blood, like
a little bit of blood and a cut,
you know, like you scratch something and a
little bit of blood came out or this
happens as well. Sometimes there's a mosquito that
bites you and you, like, scratch it or
you whatever and it starts bleeding a little
bit. That much is is forgiven inshallah. That
much you shouldn't leave. You just finish your
prayer and just make sure you don't you
don't,
sully the masjid with impurity.
This is one of the benefits in the
old days. You know the
the original massages are just the earth, so
if somebody drops some nudges on it, you
just pour water on it and move the
dirt around and it's clean again.
The the massages that have hasa air,
the the, the that have the woven straw
mats, they just take that patch of mat
out, throw it out, burn it, whatever, and
put another patch of mat in there and
it's clean again.
With carpets, it's kind of a problem in
the sense that
that,
you know, the stain you can go ahead
and shut the door now. The the the
stain, you know, sometimes it doesn't come out
properly and this and that. And, you you
know, the nejasa sometimes it just soaks through
to the padding under the carpet and until
you actually, like, take the carpet out and
replace it, it's a problem.
You know, this is also a masala and
the maliki madhabits makru
to pray in a place where
the the place of your sajdah is not
either part of the earth or something that
grows from the earth.
So polished stone,
carpets,
wool wool
skin, these things, it's actually Makru
which,
you know, I noticed this actually even in
Pakistan, the old school massajid and the old
school madaris, and I suspect the same thing
in India and Bangladesh.
It's definitely like that in Morocco and Mauritania
that they prefer to have woven straw mats
rather than carpets or rugs.
And, I don't know that any other Madhab
of the Madhab of the Sunnah keeps this
keeps this ruling. I don't I don't know
that any other Madahaba does. This is also
the ruling that the If not, Sharishiyyah seem
to have when they carry their rock around
with them. When they when they pray, they
call it a turba,
which is a piece of earth that they
make sajdah on.
So, you know,
the the beef between the Ahlus Sunoh Jama'
doesn't have to do with the Torah, but
that's actually
a a piece of fit that's not the
same but it's similar. It has a similar
origin. The idea that you should make sajdah
on the earth or on something that grows
from the earth rather than on something that's
man made.
So they carry
rocks around? They carry a little little rock
around with them to mix those on. Yeah.
So question in
in Malachy fit, you really shouldn't be is
this like
to really be praying on prayer roads? We
should do it on the It's mildly disliked.
No. Yeah. Okay. It's mildly disliked, very mildly.
It's not I asked the Sheikh, I said,
should we carry a rock around with us?
He's like, no. For, like, 7 reasons. And
then and then I'm I'm like, well, should
we,
like, if the masjid or whatever, should we
not pray in the masjid? He said, no.
Pray in the masjid because the the staying
with the jama'ah is a bigger imperative to
deen than something else. But if you
run a Masjid or you build a Masjid
one day, you should remember these things as
well. It's closer to Tawadur, it's closer to
humility in front of Allah Ta'ala to make
Sajza on the earth or in something that
grows in the earth. The the grows in
the earth is permissible.
The earth itself like like sand,
rock,
dirt,
silt,
These things, the the
pebbles, things like that,
the the sajdah on them is is is
recommended.
And this is the tafsir of the book
of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala Sima'ahu
The the the the the signs, the Sahaba
Radiallahu Anhu,
the sign that you'll see them is that
that they they'll have the the
the
the traces of their sajdah in their in
their faces
which is not this like huge sajdah mark
people roll around with.
That's oftentimes just because we're overweight and put
too much pressure on our head.
There are many pious people who don't have
a Sajidah mark. I've seen that or it's
very subtle that you can't you don't notice
it. Some dudes roll around with it like,
it looks like, you know, they look like
a like some sort of pious unicorn or
something like that. If that's you, Mubadak, please
make dua for me but that's not, you
know, we're not like going trying to achieve
that look. If it happens, it happens.
But,
the idea is that
that and if you make Seiza in the
sand, it's almost impossible for it to happen
as like bruising your face. However,
after the slot is over, like in Mauritania,
you could tell slot is over how people
walk around. They have, like, the, like, little
bit of sand on their forehead and on
the tip tip tippy
tip of their nose.
And they've been doing it for so long
that it a not not only does it
not bother them, they even forget it's there
oftentimes.
And I imagine maybe the Sahaba Radiallahu on
whom were like that as well, and Allah
Ta'ala knows best.
Some people, mashallah, rub their face into the
hard ground so much. They should develop cysts
in their forehead, and then they have to
have, like, surgery to drain them.
If that happened to you, I'm not, like,
talking smack about you.
That happens. You know, the different people's disposition
reacts differently with these types of things. But
that's definitely not the objective of the Sharia
that everyone should go to a hospital and
have a cyst drained from their forehead.
The idea of
I believe
is the the the sand or the dirt
from the earth.
So
someone's like, you know, what am I gonna
do? Because all our massages are carpets.
My house is carpet. Go pray in the
grass one day.
People have a lawn. They have a yard.
IFS is, like, next to it is a
huge park.
You know, sometimes there are, like, islands in
the parking lot that have grass patches of
grass in it. Go pray go pray in
a park. Oh my god.
Other people are gonna see me. Guess what?
They all think you're terrorist weirdos anyway.
So you may as well read the moss
in the grass.
They're not gonna love you just because you
prayed inside at MSI. Okay? So keep praying
inside in MSI, masha'Allah, and pray in the
grass sometime also. It's a sunnah of Risulullah
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. And don't be like, oh,
this is icky. Oh my god. Grass is
touching my face. But be like, this is
what?
This is the way our, you know, the
pious
forefathers used to pray,
that that part of the ummah that was
better than us.
And and if you're like, oh my god,
like, my face is getting dirty, that's the
whole idea of of putting your face to
the ground. It's not, you know I mean,
I I sometimes think about, like, we become
so used to this a lot, we even
forget what the point is. Right? If you're
in front of somebody
and you put your face to the ground
in front of them,
what statement does it send? It sends that
you're like, that's it. I surrender to you.
It's a complete humility.
Right? I think we kind of forget forget
that's what it is because we just do
it a lot. So it becomes some kind
of, like, weird, like, Islamic yoga pose or
whatever for us. And, maybe we stretch our
back out a little bit. We don't really
think about that. So put your face in
the grass or in the in the in
the in the in the earth one one
time and when you feel like, oh my
god, like my face is on the ground,
that's remember that's what you were supposed to
feel like every slot. Allah forgive us all.
Well,
well, I am sorry, Fouli. Damin Khafif.
Well,
So like a little bit of nosebleed. If
you can just stick a finger in or
2 fingers in or 3 fingers not at
the same time but like one after the
other and it will
clear the blood out, then just do that
and then keep your hand like, you know,
from touching the floor or whatever.
If it's so much that it will run
down your sleeve or it will start to
drip, that's that means you need to go
and wash it and then you can come
back if you can come back.
If a person vomits
or if a person breaks their wudu,
in those cases, the prayer is invalid. You
don't you don't, like, keep the prayer that
you prayed and then wash up and then
come back and join again.
When
So if a person, if a person, the
bleeding starts after the imam has said their
salam, but before they said their own salam,
then just however state you're in, just say
your salam and you're done.
If if the bleeding starts
before the imam start said his salaam,
then go wash,
come back, sit down, and then just say
your salaam. Your prayer is done, that raka
has done everything. Just come just come back
just to say the salaam. If that's the
time, the point at which the bleeding gets
so bad that you have to leave.
The person who
is,
the nosebleed,
That person, if for example,
there's no water in the Masjid, they have
to walk across the street to get to
their house or whatever. And that's the only
place where they can wash, wash up. And
they get there without stepping in nudges, without
talking, without breaking their wudu and stuff like
that. And
Then they can just once they wash up,
they can just finish their prayer in the
in their house.
This is like for someone whose house is
like next to the masjid or like 2
houses down. This is not for someone who's
gonna get in their car and drive home
and all that stuff.
This is for for for and why would
you go home because there's no water in
the Masjid.
Right? Which is not an issue that we
have over here.
And that that that permission is for every
prayer except for Jum'ah. In Jum'ah, even if
that person has to go to their it
goes to their house and knows that the
imam is gonna be done, they should go
wash up and then go back into the
Jamiyah Masjid and then finish their prayer over
there because Jum'ah is not valid
anywhere outside of the Masjid, outside the Jamiyah
Masjid,
which is a hookum of the Maliki Madhab.
The Jum'ah is only valid in the Jamir
Masjid, meaning not even every Masjid.
But the Masjid that that that that has
Jum'ah in it, validly has Jum'ah in it.
And every misser, every every metropolis
has 1 Jum'ah and when that one Jum'ah
is no longer able to meet the capacity
of the people, then it has the second
one. And when the second one is not
able to meet the capacity of the people,
then it has the second one. And when
the second one is not able to meet
the capacity of
the people, then it has a third one.
This, fashion that everybody has that every,
closet Musalla has like, mashallah 3 Jumas now.
This is not cool. This is, cool.
If a person has to pray in one
of these because of necessity, they can't find
Jum'ah anywhere, I'll tell you it's better than
not praying Jum'ah at all. But if you
have the ability to go to a valid
Jum'ah, then go to the valid Jum'ah.
And this applies to 2nd Jummah as well.
There's exceptions to that too.
What is the exception? One is if the
first Jummah is starts before the time comes
in for Zuhr, then it's not a Jummah
at all.
Now I wouldn't be too hardcore about this
because it is valid according to an opinion
of the Hanbali Madhab, which I, according to
our Malek Youssul, is very weak opinion.
But because their mashaikh said it, we'll say,
okay. We're not gonna, like, be like haram.
You guys are going to * for this.
You guys wanna do it that way, you're
in control of the mustard board.
It's not like you guys are having a
ham sandwich, but I wouldn't go to that
Jeremiah if I were you.
And really, honestly, if you look at the
circumstance of the one hadith that that's narrated
with regards to Jumah being
before being prayed before its time. It's a
single chain narrated hadith whereas the hookahum of
of
praying
on time, it comes to the kitab and
sunnah. And like we said in the Maliki
Usul, a single chain narrated hadith, it doesn't
modify the hookum that is emphatically
double emphatic
commandment to pray prayers in their time.
That's one Usuli issue. The second Usuli issue
is it only happened once.
It didn't happen all the time. And it
happened for specific reason,
and that reason isn't because I'm,
I'm, you know, chicken to tell Bill at
work because Bill probably voted for Trump and,
like, he's gonna, like, whatever, deport me to
Guatemala if I try to tell him to
that Jumazah won now.
This type of weak restedness
for most people is a sign of very
weak character and,
not very respectable.
And, I don't know why we keep giving
respect to people who come with this type
of logic.
If our,
we respect weak people, then our entire community
will become weak. Well, Sheikh, what about in
the circumstance where I have no other choice?
Those 1 or 2 people should
seek rufsa from the ulama.
But because of those 1 or 2 people
for the entire community to
obviate their requirement of praying Jummah on time
or even according to the Hanbali madame, at
least the
the rigorously,
observed,
sunnah of all the rest of the rest
of the rest of the rest of the
Rasool Sallallahu alaihi wa sama's life that he
prayed the Jummah before after the zawal came
in to jettison the entire sunnah because of
1 or 2 people. This is,
this is a,
a very,
very,
weak,
way of doing things and
it is not a a, it doesn't indicate
a mind that understands the law properly.
So that's one that's one example of where
the first Jummah for us is not gonna
count as the first Jummah, the second Jummah
will be the first Jummah.
Another one is if you have somebody who
prays it invalidly.
Now we have some cats roll around saying
weird stuff, man. We have some cats saying
weirds they don't know how to pray properly.
They don't know how to make wudu properly.
They themselves are open, propagate sinners, and things
like that. In which case, the the the
their salat may be valid, but it's haram
to pray behind them. We have people saying
that, like, yeah, you know, the old
interpretations
of
the
and the with regards to homosexuality
need to be revisited,
which, is close enough of a shubha of
Kufr
that we may not make takfir on the
person who said that,
because the Quran in and this takfir are
very,
are very
difficult to,
they're very difficult to
bring forth and
they give a lot of leeway for benefit
of the doubt and they're not the responsibility
of anyone except for of the the ulama
of the qom
And generally speaking, takfir is a responsibility people
used to run away from.
Obviously, if some dude's like, yeah. I believe
there's a nabi who came to Punjab after
whatever in the 1800,
that's not a we don't waffle about that.
That's just not a Muslim. That's not Jumah.
It's just it's something else. It's
whatever. It's that's,
you know, that's basically just like, you know,
something totally different than Islam.
But someone who says weird things like this,
like,
it's it's known that
homosexuality is not something that, you know, that's
tolerated in Islam. If someone's like, we need
to revisit that idea or whatever, then
that Jum'ah is
haram to pray behind that person just consider
the second Jum'ah the first one.
So there are sometimes that that that's an
issue as well.
Wa alaikum, son. Okay. You have to go
back a little bit. Jumah not being prayed
in its right time. Mhmm. So
I know Jumah is not far apart upon
me as a woman, but I go. Mhmm.
So how do I determine if the masjid
is actually praying? Because the cookba start. We
don't count the cookba. Right? No. We count
the cookba. Okay. So if they are starting
the khutbah
way before
If they start the khutbah even a minute
before the zawal, then it's invalid. The whole
thing is invalid.
Wow. Yeah. So
this is a issue, right?
Now
I submit, Masha'Allah, because everybody,
loves to hate on
on on the Desi Olamah, Masha'Allah. But,
you know, God bless them. There's a couple
of things that they bring a pretty good
point with.
The idea that the desiulama
generally have, which is that you have a
bayan in the local language that's separate from
the hutba before the the the ritual hutba
starts,
This is a way of solving this problem.
So for example, if you have Jumah at
like,
like what? Let's say 12. 12:30 to 12:30
year round or something like that. Okay. Right?
So when in the in the winter months,
you can start the khutba early if you
want to or not, doesn't really matter, khutba
band doesn't really matter. In the summer months,
you your band, which is customarily 25 minutes
or half an hour or whatever, you can
do the ban separate than the khutbah and
then do a very quick ritual khutbah and,
you know, you know, like people in England,
they say, Bob's your uncle. I mean, everything's
good. It's
it's all good. It's just all, you know,
everything's normal. Right?
And I've done this before.
I've done this before that I've stood on
the pulpit and given a talk
because I'm like Islamic Relief. Okay. We're gonna
raise money for orphans. Islamic Relief spent, like,
$500,
like, flying me somewhere,
you know, for Jumu Al Khutba in the
middle of Ramadan.
And,
this is before I worked for them. Right?
This happened to me once and I'm like
looking, I'm like, oh, smack man. These guys
these guys are not doing band system. They're
they insist on having to hook a start
out the time and that time is like
15 minutes before Zawal.
So I just okay, fine, whatever. You guys,
you know, you guys is crazy. I'm not
I'm here for the orphans. I ain't here
for you, you know?
So I'll get up on the pulpit and
I'll just start giving a talk. And then
once the time comes in, that's where I
make the nia and I'll actually say the
hamdah and all that stuff at that time.
Some people they may think it's awkward like
what just happened here, but most people don't
notice.
Most people don't notice. Yomokliyama,
if they're surprised why is this Jummah valid
in my account? You know, they can come
look for me, inshallah. I'll give them my
earful. Inshallah, all of us, Allah forgives everybody,
right?
But yeah, that's that's a,
that's that's a, a, a trick you have
to do sometimes just because people insist on
just doing things really weird.
And for the places of Juma, you said
that some places aren't even
valid places of Juma.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, the thing look. The the
those are difference of opinion. Like, not every
difference of opinion is the same. Okay. I
consider the difference of opinion of praying praying,
Jumuah before the zawal comes in, before the
the high noon to be an extremely weak
opinion.
There are other opinions like Jumu'ah about being
valid in a different, you know, in a
place outside of the Masjid or whatever.
That's like, you know, that's the fatwa position
of the Shafa'rima that have they have their
dalil. I consider it not to be a
I I don't I know I consider it
to be, you know,
not like a
a mega week opinion. There's some there's some
Dalil behind it that's like
you can be like, okay. I I kinda
get that. Right? But, praying before the Zawal,
that's,
that's
an opinion that's that's that's, you know, it's
I I don't know. I'm not I mean,
I don't wanna say this in the in
the sense, okay, if someone Hanbali is listening
and say, oh, this guy's being, like, a
bigot or whatever.
I'm not saying that it's, like, for technically,
if it's a difference of opinion that Allah
Mahad and it there's a limit to how
how hard you can advocate your own opinion.
I would just say that even in the
Hanbali Madhab,
at least you should accept the fact that
it's a sunnah to pray,
to pray after the Zawal. Sunnah,
you know, like Muakaddah, something that the Nabi
saw some made
on that he never he he he did
it his whole life, you know, there's an
exception, but the rule was to do that.
So that should mean something to you, you
know, that shouldn't be something you just
as consistently
make, you know, consistently ignore.
It's there's something wrong that's happening when you
consistently ignore it deliberately. Yeah. So if the
first Jummah is actually valid in the sense
that after it starts at the
then we should try to catch the first
Jummah. Yeah. Yeah.
The first is is there is basically a
green light in all other on always, then
go to the first one. Don't go to
the second one.
Don't go to the second one. But you
have to make sure it's starting on time.
Right? Yeah. That's you can do that.
So a little bit of a little bit
of,
blood if it gets in the clothes. And
with blood is,
like, pass also follows the hookam of blood,
and the other
basically, the other bodily fluids that are not
from don't come from the come out from
the private parts, basically.
Those those bodily fluids that don't come from
the private parts, they're all in the hook
of my blood. And
a little bit of it, you don't have
to make up the prayer for.
A little bit of it is what? Like
the,
like, maybe like a quarter or maybe a
little bit bigger than a quarter that much
or or less. That's fine.
If it's more than that and and you
know that you prayed with it and it's
in the prayer time,
it's,
then you should repeat the prayer.
If,
if if you're not able to wash it
or if you didn't know it was there
or not, you give yourself the benefit of
the doubt. If you're not able to wash
it, then the requirement to have clean clothes
is waived.
And,
if if you if you knew it was
there and you prayed anyway,
then you should you repeat your prayer if
it's more than that small amount.
Quarterless.
Yeah. A quarter or a little bit bigger
than a quarter, a little bit more than
a quarter, maybe like a half dollar or
something like that. Now,
that's for what?
That's for blood and the things that are
in the hook them of blood. As for
urine, feces,
vaginal discharge or *,
all amounts of it large and small
are are going to that that, you know,
you have to wash them out. You can't
pray with them in there. If you know
that it's there, it'll invalidate the prayer. If
there's a shock, a doubt about it, whether
it was there or not, you can take
the benefit of the doubt. Or if you're
unable to wash it out, then then then
that that condition is waived. But if you
know it's there, then you have to then
you have to do some. Now this happens,
you know,
I don't know. Maybe I'm the only one
who's not like a super suave and like
altogether person, but sometimes a person uses the
bathroom and whatever. They get startled. This happens.
That happens. You have to if you travel
a lot, you use some really weird bathrooms.
Not everyone you know, there's a whole kind
of a lot of weird stuff that can
happen in life that you don't wanna talk
to other people about, but it happens. So
we should know the hook them of it.
Right? If, for example, urine splatters on on
your shirt or on your pants and you
don't you don't know exactly where it is,
but you know it's
like there's a good chance it's splattered in
an area.
Okay?
What you're supposed to do is you're, ideally,
if you can run water over that whole
thing and then wring it out, that's the
best thing to do.
If not, then
if it's so small that you can't really
even see anything, right?
Then then then wet your hand and flick
the water on it and just run your
hand over it.
Because the thing is that the the the
these hookams are these these rulings are ritual
rulings.
So even if you can't microscopically
remove every small of urine, although urine is
miscible in water, if you dip the whole
thing and wash it, it'll be more or
less gone.
But, you know, even if you can't microscopically
be sure that every part of it is
gone,
you use the clean water and ran your
hand over it, ritually will will remove the
remove the stain. And other hook them that's
kind of similar to this
is like when a person has blood like
blood gets into close clothing.
Sometimes you wash it,
but there's still some stain left. Whatever little
like faint stain is left afterward, that part
is forgiven.
That part is not in the hookum of
blood. It's just some fraction of blood that's
left left out. The nudges part of it
is gone at that point.
This is very difficult. For example, if you
if you like
you you ever lived in Bangladesh for any
significant significant amount of time?
Probably when I was a kid. If it's
anything like Pakistan sun in India, there are
a lot of mosquitoes.
Yeah. Okay?
And sometimes so many mosquitoes that, like, you
will, like, roll over and, like, you'll kill,
like, 20 of them. And some of them
have blood in them and there's blood stains
everywhere. You know what I mean?
So and, like, what are you gonna do?
Right? If you're in Madarasa and you have
to wash clothes by hand and things like
that, there's no washing machine that you just
throw the thing in cycle 3, 4 times.
If there's a little bit of residual stain
after you wash the stain out then it's
it's it's forgiven.
It's not that part is not the niches
part. Yeah.
But like And a person by the way
You know what the nets there? Yeah, yeah,
yeah. Those are great. That's the low tech
is the best. All this like weird chemical
and stuff people spray on on themselves and
on each other, I try to avoid the
smack out of them because they're just gonna
end up giving you some sort of disease
or like, you know, mess mess with your
head. Yeah. Burning the coils is just gonna
go in the night combo. Yeah. But Yeah.
I've never rolled over, but, yeah, I know
what you're talking about. You go to the
bathroom, there's a mosquito there,
and you smack it. You know it bit
you before because it's it's blood splattered. Yeah.
So
so,
yeah. Oh my goodness. We have so much
to be thankful for.
Anyone who's, like, listening and they're like, I
don't know what you know, like, who lives
in a place where there's no mosquitoes at
night
no flies in the day. This is like
you already allata already gave you jannah, man.
Like in this world.
It really like ruins your life. It's like
so irritating.
If the girl you're in love with isn't
marrying you and you don't have the job
that you want and you didn't get into
medical school, so, you know, like, if it
was permissible, you'd commit suicide or whatever. And
all this stuff is going wrong. There's always,
like, a whole lot to be thankful for.
And if you don't if you're like, Sheikh,
I still can't feel it, then go live
in Bangladesh or Pakistan for for
for a year and then come back.
You don't even have to go to Madrasa.
Just go shoot the breeze and then come
back. And then, you know, even that'll be
a spiritual experience for you because, oh my
goodness, how the flies make your day *
and the mosquitoes make your make your night
*.
Uh-huh.
Just water. No soap. Right? Yeah. Just,
water is yeah. Soap is not necessary.
Although if you did, that's that's that's better
because you'll get more of it out. Yeah.
But yeah. I refuse to go to some
of the months. Hey. Yo, man. You don't
even have to go to Bangladesh. You just
go to,
Minneapolis.
Yeah. You know, you arrive in the daytime
when there's no mosquitoes.
Once the sun sets by Fudger time, those
kids look like they just got out of
the ring with Tyson, man. They all face
is all
That's what they say about min Minnesota. They
say that the that the the the there's
2 there's 2 seasons,
winter and construction, and the mosquito is a
state bird. And the mosquito is a state
bird.
Otherwise, a very wonderful place to live but
the mosquitoes, oh my goodness.
Then 1,000 lakes have like 10,000,000 mosquitoes in
them.
So urine, feces, *,
and vaginal fluid,
that is all all of it has to
be washed off, washed out little or a
lot. And again, if you're not able to,
it's forgiven or if there's some shock like
later on you found it and some doubt
whether it was there while you prayed or
not, you can take the benefit of the
doubt. But if you know it's there and
you're able to wash it, gotta wash it
before you pray. This is another interesting thing
that like, you should be very
you should be very aware of your your
clothing, you know, how you use the bathroom,
what your clothes, what clothes touch what.
And if something happens,
wash it with water.
Water is purifying and it's good for your
spiritual how not to walk around with najasa
on because it exposes a person to shaitan
and to bad influences.
And, like, don't be ashamed to wash out
wash out your clothes.
Oftentimes, you know, this is why you have
to, like, know, like, tricks like,
you know, Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts have a
bathroom that you can use that lock the
door outside.
You can take a cup of water. You
can wash yourself after using the restroom.
I'm not endorsing Starbucks corporate or ethical policies
or Dunkin' Donuts for that matter. I'm just
saying from a completely wudu point of view
or you should know, you know, how to
do these things.
And, you know, if if, you know, someone's
gonna walk see that you have, like, a
patch of, like, moist, like,
clothing. Right? Like, you washed, like, some part
of your your pants or some part of
your shirt,
it'll dry out.
It'll dry out. Don't worry inshallah, you know,
you're not you're no one's gonna post it
on Facebook and you'll never get married or
whatever. You'll you'll get over it inshallah.
It's more important to be a clean person.
And the one who's clean is the one
who's clean with Allah and his Rasool
inwardly and outwardly.
So,
you know, don't be don't be dirty inwardly
and don't be dirty outwardly.
Don't walk around with najasa on your thing
and zashayikh Allah knows my heart is clean.
Don't don't be one of those. Inshallah, if
your heart is clean, good for you.
You know, the Nobel Prize is in the
mail. Now clean your body as well, inshallah.
And,
we'll be all good, inshallah.
So the the the blood that comes from
a mosquito or from a tick or from
from,
a,
from a insect bite,
That blood is not in the same hook
them as the blood that comes from you.
So that much, like, so you even more
than a quarter will be fine. Just that
if you have so much of it in
your clothes that it just like from a
distance someone can see like what the heck
is wrong with this person, then you have
to wash it.
But that is forgiven at a rate higher
than than than than just your blood from
a cut.
We clear on that?
Okay. That's good. That's the end of the,
Babble Jamil. I feel Quran. So next week,
we'll start the the Sujoodul Quran, the the
the Sagdas,
from the Quran and how to deal with
them. Are there any questions,
regarding this week's lesson or other questions?
I wanna go back to the,
prayer time. I don't know. Mhmm. He was
mentioning.
So what
what will be,
you know, because we got plenty massages out
here. You know?
But so, you know,
in your opinion,
what
would be a a a mileage that
you would will you would you will suggest
to to, make you, you know. Oh, in
the area? Yeah.
No. Masha'Allah.
You put me in a tight spot because
now whoever I don't mention, they're gonna be
upset at me or whatever. It's okay. Generally,
everybody's upset at me. Dar es Salaam is
the closest Masjid from where we are right
now. Right. Okay?
And Dar es Salaam, I completely trust that
their Jummah will be valid.
Okay? The next closest Masjid to where we
are right now is probably,
MSI.
And
their their Juma is
the times are are good. Right? The reason
the reason I I not to, like, pick
on MSI or pick on Wheaton or pick
on Villa Park or any of these other
places.
But the reason that I I I I
feel more confident in recommending Dar es Salaam
is Dar es Salaam, they they don't allow
someone who's not as,
an alim to give khutba.
Whereas, you know, MSI is pretty good, generally
speaking, the ulema are the only ones who
give the khutba's, but they do give exceptions
for people. And sometimes,
someone may mean very well, but if they're
not a specialist in the law, then they
may make mistakes with regards to the prayer.
And the books of 5th all say that
that that the the meaning of the best
person should lead the prayer is the one
who has the most knowledge of fiqh, even
if he only knows.
Why? Because the the
different surahs in the prayer don't affect the
validity, whereas the knowledge of fiqh will affect
the validity of the prayer.
And if something is valid at least in
the mad hub of the imam, it's valid,
it's valid in some sense.
Now,
you know, this is another issue,
which is what
Rasulullah salallahu alayhi wa sallam, if he was
with us right now, who would give the
khutbah?
Right? Are we gonna have like a khutba
workshop if he's alive?
Right? So in his absence, sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam, who should give the khutba? The one
who is closest to him.
Who is the Waratha tul Anbiya? Right? The
Waratha is not see the prophet,
they didn't actually leave any inheritance behind.
And this is an issue we talk I've
talked about in the Tawiyyah. Have you attended
my Tawiyyah Darfs before?
Right? That we believe that the prophets
are alive, that they're not dead, That they
die in the sense that this life ends
but that they're alive
and we don't refer to them as dead.
Just like the Quran says not to say
that the Shuhada are dead, we don't say
that about
Ambiya We say he died but
that something happened
that transitioned the Prophet
life to life of the barzaf, but we
don't consider them dead. Their bodies don't decay
and they're aware of what's going on around
them.
And this is part of our aqidah as
well. And this is one of the reasons,
Maheen, in case somebody asks you, you've been
hanging out with too many Sufis or whatever,
if you say this to them, say why
else is it that their their miroth is
not distributed?
The inheritance of the Prophet salayahu alayhi wa
sallam is not given to the next of
kin because they're not dead.
It is put into the Baitul Ma'am and
it is the property of the entire Ummah.
Who are the ones who inherit the who
are the ones who are the heirs of
the Prophets? Right? The heirs your heirs are
your next of kin. Your children,
your wife, your husband,
your father, mother, brothers, sisters, your cousins, your
uncles. It's your next of kin. Who did
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
refer to as the
at the
the next of kin of the MBIA. Who
are they? Scholars. The scholars.
They're and if that's the case, then they're
the ones who should be giving the chutba.
Does it mean that the people who are
are
garbage and we don't respect them? No. Does
it mean the people who donate money to
the masjid, we don't respect them? No. We
respect every khidma. The person who cleans the
toilet in the masjid is the waliyah of
Allah
when he's cleaning that toilet, if he does
it with the correct niya.
The person who sweeps the garbage and takes
the garbage out, the person who cook cooks
and gives food for $5
box of biryani on Friday for, for the
masjid. Every one of these people are.
But does it mean, oh, you cooked biryani
and put in a Styrofoam box? Why don't
you, next week, give the chutba? No.
But, unfortunately, that's kinda where we where we're
at right now.
So
that's that's why that's why so nobody feels
offended or thinks I'm picking on them particularly
or politically or whatever. This is one reason
get a star on their chart from, you
know, from my point of view is what?
Is that they only have they only have
people who are
people who are mustan that they have Ijazat
and and Hadith and and they understand Quran,
they read Tajweed, they did all of these
things that are prerequisites
to not only making sure the prayer is
valid, but that it's prayed in a way
that's
as close to the sunnah as as as
physically possible. And what's inside people's hearts, we
consign that between them and Allah Ta'ala. It's
a secret that none of us were allowed
to,
that that none of us are supposed to
or able to or even allowed to try
to speculate about.
And so, oh, Sheikh, I know someone, he's
not a Alem, but his heart is pure,
and I know a guy, he's Alem, he's
corrupt and he's a Munafi. Maybe he's a
Munafi, maybe he's the Ra'is al Munafiqin. He's
like he's not just a he's not just
a president, he's also a client client of
Nifaq. Right? Who knows? Allah knows best. We're
not allowed to speculate about that. We're not
gonna be asked, how come we prayed behind
somebody? Didn't you know that the secret inside
their heart is that they only were, you
know, learning ill in order to, like, whatever,
impress their girlfriend or whatever. Right? That's that's
not really none of our business, and that's
not something we're gonna be accounted for with
Allah.
But the outward knowledge someone doesn't have, they
just don't have it.
Yes. As far as Jummah goes, I I
my understanding is that, for example, that any
like, a man who completely shaves his beard
is considered an open sinner. Is that how
the According to the Malachy school, a man
who completely shaves his beard is considered an
open sinner, and it's Haram to pray behind
him. Okay. So if you were to, like,
go to Jumah. Right? That being said Yeah.
To shave for one to shave their beard
in the Shafi'i school Yeah. Is Makru.
Makru means detestable. So
it's not like I'm not just I'm not
saying that like, oh, look, that's okay. It's
not okay. It's just not haram. So we
won't say they're an open center. So maybe
if someone subscribes to that school, you themself,
you can give them the benefit of the
doubt. However,
the beard is a sunnah of the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam as well. He was like,
well, I know many people who have beards
and they're horrible. Okay. That may be true,
but it doesn't mean that that you jettison
the sunnah because of that, you know. So
I'm not excited about somebody. And, you know,
if you wanna be a a a community
leader
and you wanna give Khutba and things like
that, if you can't
dedicate that much to the deen that you
wanna make your shackle like the shackle of
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam outwardly,
then how are we supposed to believe you're
doing it inwardly?
And, how are we you know, like, why,
like, why is this so important to you?
Why do you gotta give the Khutba? Just
let someone else give the Khutba who's gonna
do it. You know?
But, unfortunately, now, you you know, people have
figured this out, by the way. They figured
this out.
If I opened a club, no one's gonna
join it. If I open a Pakistan Association,
Bangla Association, people fight with me and whatever.
If I if I become president of the
Masjid, however, I can get up on a
pulpit and these people are out of the
fear of God are ritually obliged to hear
the nonsense that I spout.
So I can spout whatever I want to.
And that's kind of like
a bizarre curse that's, you know, visited our
community.
All I can say is if the people
educate themselves enough to be like, yeah, I'm
not I'm not down for this. I'm gonna
go I'm gonna go to the place where
the the dean is being taken seriously. Then
obviously those type of people won't have a
platform anymore. But because the Masjid is 5
minutes closer than the other Masjid,
and, you know, Bill at work, you know,
I'm ashamed to ask him for whatever. Then,
you know, if as long as we're running
weak risted and weak sauce about all these
things, then
this, this type of this type of,
captivity that the community has to these types
of people is going to continue.
But, you know, that's cool for you if
you immigrated from Muslim community,
Muslim country, or from a strong Muslim family
you're born into, you know, you can survive
that. But if you're taking kids to places
like that, don't blame anybody else after 18
years if they're like, this,
Islam doesn't make sense. My father was a
Muslim, but I'm not really into it. Don't
don't be all surprised. Act all surprised that
that happened. But practically speaking, you walk in.
Dude on the men bar has no beard.
Mhmm. What are you supposed to do?
Yeah. Alhamdulillah. I, like, take great pains to
make sure that doesn't happen.
The other the other
yeah. What are you supposed to do,
if you can make another Jummah do it?
You know?
Again, people will be like, oh, you're so
judgmental, Sheikh. I don't have a beard. What
are you saying? I'm a horrible person. I
was just saying we're talking about the Jumakutba,
man.
You know?
You know, if you if you can't run
the mile in less than 10 minutes,
then don't act like, you know, you're,
you know, that people are being mean to
you for your disability because they don't let
you be on the Olympic team. Okay?
You have your thing, go do what you
want. You're a good human being. We love
you. We kiss you. That's how much we
hug you and kiss you. That's how much
we love you. You don't have to give
the though.
Me saying that doesn't mean that I'm treating
you like garbage or what are you that's
fine. You have your thing? Wonderful. I I
all of us have our all of us
have our shortcomings.
Masha'Allah, I have so many shortcomings just like
every dollar has like a 100 rupees in
it. That's how many shortcomings I have compared
to other people. But the idea is that
you can't hold everybody hostage to those things.
You know, I want I want I wanna
do some I wanna win the gold medal
in,
for a 100 meter dash so that I
can serve you so everyone will see I
have a beard and then I'll, like, say
Allahu Akbar from the Olympic podium and he'll
serve Islam. It's not gonna happen.
Just pick something else, man.
Like, that's that's not that's not offensive to
say. You know? It might hurt a little
bit. Like, I wanna be the 1st Pakistani
in the NBA. Okay. It's probably not gonna
happen.
I'm not you know, someone told me that
they wouldn't be being a jerk. They're just,
like, giving me nasiha at that point. You
know? So,
yeah, if you're if you're if you're Dean
is not that much, then, you know. And
by the way, some people, to be very
frank with you, we shouldn't rock around being
judgmental. I know a couple of guys who,
like,
beard. Like, literally, they're like, they're like 2
hairs on the side of their face. It
just looks like they skipped shaving or they
were sloppy in their shave. That's really all
the beard that they can have.
So, like, you know, give people the benefit
of doubt. One imam, one time, some,
doofuses on Twitter got up on him for
not having a beard and for not honoring
the sunnah. And the guy I know the
guy is like a cancer victim. He's getting
he's getting chemo. Iman of Frozen is in
Australia.
The guy's get he's like he's Michelle. He's
a graduate of Medina University
and he he has cancer. I remember meeting
him and he's telling me about his chemo
and stuff and these,
whatever,
type kids
who make nisba to our masha'if and think
they're like a big hero that's defending the
sun of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
They're just acting like morons.
They're, like, one of the very few people
I like, Kadhiani trolls I block on Twitter
and, like, these types of guys I block
I just block them. They're just I just
don't know how,
what
you have to do to, like, be so,
so, like, just wrong
that you're gonna get up and clown someone.
And when they say, yo, I have cancer,
and I'm getting chemo, and be like, no.
That's they're just making excuse. I don't know
where that comes from. So we okay. Fine.
We don't have to go out of worry
to judge, but at the same time,
there's a balance between having Hasan al Adhan
with people and checking your brain in at
the door. The former is a good thing.
The latter is a bad thing.
So,
I I take great pains not to not
to not to go places where I, you
know, I don't think they're gonna take, like,
the the the the jummahupa
really seriously. Honestly, the place that I pray
the most in in in Chicago where you
can catch me, I most Jummas, I'm out
of town.
But the few Jummas that I am in
town, I'll go to the Masjid Mustafa in
Westmont because I know Milan Abilal
will give the Khutba over there.
So not only is it valid, he also
says nice things and, you know, I think
very highly of him and and and,
have hope from Allah that, you know, praying
behind him is going to be,
somehow superior and and and somehow acceptable,
to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
So, you know, and that's the way really
we should think about this. Instead of thinking
about it like, oh, this guy he ain't
on the menhad and this and that. And,
you know, we all
we make clown people like that, but what
do you do when the guy actually isn't
on the manhaj? You know what I mean?
Right? There's a point that it breaks down
because I'm not being judgmental or whatever, but
okay, you just invited Qadiyani to give Jomar
or whatever.
These types of things, if
they they have happened and they will happen
more and more as time goes on. You'll
see it happen more and more. They have
happened.
What do you do then? Right? Am I
being like a Salafi Wahhabi, this and that,
and other curse words that people give to,
like, people who are trying to follow their
Din?
No. You're you're actually, like, using your brain
and be like, yeah. This is wrong.
Instead of looking it that way,
a way of of of
saving yourself from being put in that position
is what?
A man who prayed the Hajjid for the
last 40 years,
if he oversleeps,
he'll at least wake up in time for
fajr, right?
If you want to have your Jumah Khutba
be beautiful with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
then
don't look for what's closest to you, look
for what's the best.
If you're trying to go and pray behind
those people who have the most knowledge and
who Allah knows best what's in their heart,
but seem to you to be
the most pious and seem to you to
be those people who
most resemble the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam in
their character and in their conduct and in
their outward appearance and in their way they
deal with people and in their uloom,
then you'll save yourself from all of this
others. Then you won't, like, walk into Jumon
and be like, oh, dude. This the dude
doesn't have a beard or he's a Qadian
or whatever. And the 2 are not the
same. They're very different things. But I'm just
saying there are 2 things that are suboptimal
when you walk in. You save yourself from
a 100 other problems. And not only that,
your Jummah is like, inshallah, gonna be really
good. Ruhaniyah, that Mubarak hour, there's so much
spirituality in it, and there's so much nur
in that in that Mubarak hour
that descends on that place, and that
the mercy comes down in that place, and
that the
come and forgiveness comes down, his comes down
on that place.
And if,
you know, that person who's on the pulpit
is a person of of knowledge and nur
and of of of rahma themselves,
then you'll get even a a greater portion
of it inshallah,
in that place.
So, you know, it's,
you know, if you know you're gonna if
you know you're gonna win the lottery, you
may as well play for, like, a 1000000000
instead for a1000000, you know? And that's,
that's that's a a reality. I guess some
people get it, some people don't.
