AI: Transcript ©
So we start today the chapter on the
Sujood Al Quran.
These are the
prostrations that are
also known as the Sajjad Sajjad
Tilawah.
The Sajjad that are
that are, that accompany the recitation of certain
verses of Quran.
So it's a a difference of opinion amongst
whether it's a
Musa Hub or whether it's a Sunnah Sunnah
Makada
to make and
and we'll talk about how to do them
and what the, the places that they
they're to be done at.
Add.
How
much a dot moving from here to there
can make a difference.
The number of sajdas,
in the Quran
are 11.
And these are the sajdas that the prophet,
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
made sajdah for them every single time.
There are certain places where it comes in
the tafsir that Rasool Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
made Sajdah,
for their recitation.
But,
according to Malik,
they are,
they are 11 which the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam
did without without exception.
And they are the ones that, they are
the ones that it's for a person to
make
for them even if the tafsir may
come that he prostrated at other places, but
the the
call of the of the Madhub of Ahl
Medina is that those are not such as,
the the Mashur, the the the Raja and
the stronger
opinion is that they're not there.
Which is the last 7th of the Quran,
which is from Surah Al Hujurat all the
way till the end.
Malik's Fataw was at the Aza'im, the that
the sajdas of the Quran that the prophet
did every single time, none of them are
in the last 7th of the Quran
from to the end. Obviously, the other, they
disagree and they differ,
on this issue.
So they they say there's a and,
etcetera.
And,
Malik doesn't consider any of those to be.
As soon as they make for them. As
soon as the prophet makes for
them. So I'm a
so the the commentator
mentions that
that,
the proof of the this being a sunnah,
this being
a sunnah is what's narrated by
May Allah be pleased with both of them
who said,
the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam used
to recite the Quran and when he passed
by a Surah
in which there was a sajdah, he would,
prostrate for it and we prostrated with him.
And then he mentions also the
the,
hadith
of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
which
extols the virtues of prostrating in front of
Allah ta'ala.
That whenever
a human being
makes sajdah,
Shaitan,
runs away from that place.
He he withdraws from that place crying.
And he said,
woe is me.
Destruction on me.
The son of Adam was commanded to prostrate,
and because of that, he receives
Jannah.
And I was commanded to prostrate,
but I refused. And because of that,
I I I've got the fire.
And this is a this is a an
important
lesson for all of us.
While you still have life,
go ahead and make sajdah while you still
can.
You don't have to follow the
you don't have to follow Sunnah Shaitan.
You don't have to follow Sunnah Shaitan.
So there are 11 there are 11 places
in the Quran
according to Malik.
That there's none of those 11 occur in
the last 7th of the Quran from Surah
to onward.
And,
that is,
a Surat Al Arab.
When, when the the words,
you said who they glorify him, and they
prostrate to him.
Well,
and it's the end of that Surah. It's
the last eye of that Surah.
So man can
So if a person is to read that,
the end of Suratul Aaraf,
And this is the same thing for the
rest of the as well. Some of the
are in the middle of the and some
of them are at the ends.
If a person is just make says make
says that for for this
last eye of Surah Al Adaf, when they
get up again, he says, don't go get
up again and then go straight into ruku.
Rather read a little bit more of the
Quran. Read from Suratul Anfal which is the
next Surah or any part after it.
Read a little bit more Quran before going
into
Don't just make the and then get up
and then go
straight in again.
And Surat Bani Israel Surat Bani Israel is
what? It's another name for Surat Al Isra.
Some of the the the Surahs have more
than one name.
So this Surah Bani Israel and Surah Al
Isra, they're two names for the same Surah.
Generally, in the Masahif of this Indian subcontinent,
they write
rather than Surat Al Isra.
And from
and from Surat Miriam, the words of Allah
Alwaluha.
Surah Al *, there are 2 from amongst
the different Fokaha, there are 2 places where
salzah is transmitted.
I believe in the Hanbali and the Shafa'i
Madhevs, they actually make sadzah for both of
them.
So
in the Maliki school, only the first of
those 2 sages that are reported in the
hadith is considered from the Aza and the
ones that that Sunnah to do all the
time.
So he says he says,
the first of those 2 in
is a story about the ants
that that that that that that that said
that Suleiman hears them, overhears him,
overhears them,
you know, telling each other, get out of
the way so the army of Suleyman doesn't
crush you.
Mhmm. So that's a Surah,
in which,
the speech of animals is mentioned. So the
hood hood is a hoopoe
woodpeckery
type bird
that's late when Saidna Soleiman calls his war
council.
The Hudhut is late to the to the
meeting, and so Saidna
Soleiman says that that the
the Hudhut better have
a good excuse. Otherwise, I'm gonna slaughter it.
And so then he brings the news of
the queen of Sheba,
and her people
praying to the sun and to the moon.
And so
he calls it the Surat Hudhud here because
it's Hudhud is only mentioned in the Surah.
It's not mentioned anywhere else in the Quran.
When I in the words
And it's interesting. This Surah also as a
kind of a side note, because it's mentioned
comes up.
There's,
there's mention in it
that the queen of Sheba, when she receives
a
when she receives a,
a letter
from Seyda Soleiman,
and she tells her privy council about it.
She says, I received a letter
that this letter is from Soleiman and it's
written in the name of Allah, the most
gracious, the most merciful.
So amongst the there are those who say
that this is the only place that
occurs in the Quran. Whereas from the there
are those who say that it's a part
of every Surah except for Surah to Tawba,
And then there's some that say it's just
to be read once at the beginning or
it's part of the beginning of the recitation
of the Quran and there are a number
of different opinions
about it. But this is one place where
everyone agrees comes in the Quran that she
says that this letter is from Soleiman and
it's
meaning this letter is from Soleiman and it's
in the name of Allah,
the most,
beneficial, the most merciful.
It's a okay. It's not a tough class,
but there are so many nice lessons in
it.
Efreet is like the big
like the like the the brute brute of
the jinns. Mhmm. The the the the every
Efreet says that I'll bring her throne to
you before your this majlis ends. I'll go
all the way to Yemen. I'll I'll grab
* her, thrown and bring it to you.
And then the person who has the knowledge
of the book, that person, he says I'll
bring it to you before a twinkling of
the eye and he brings it in an
instant.
And this the the one of the tough
series of it is they say that that
person had knowledge.
There's a name of Allah Ta'ala.
Al Islam Adam, the divine name
that if a person calls on Allah ta'ala
through that name, Allah ta'ala will instantly answer
their prayers.
And so he said that he had the
the knowledge of the the divine name because
of which he Allah gifted him these things,
that he could call call on Allah ta'ala
by that name
and his prayers would be answered.
And, I remember I mentioned it to the
school kids one day in the foundation school,
6th graders. They were really fascinated. They're like,
what is it? I was like, yo. If
I knew, man, I wouldn't be a school
teacher,
which is a bad answer.
Because a lot of people a lot of
people were people who talk Quran to children
and they knew the divine name as well
because they understood and they appreciated what the
value of,
you know, the Nabi Salas. And so the
best of you is the one who learns
the Quran and the ones who teach it.
So that's kind of my bad. But,
but, yeah,
that's the thing. There are people who know
even from the Sahaba, there are some people
who knew it and so they perform miracles
by the divine name. Mhmm. Uh-uh.
But that's a a a a very beautiful
example of the superior
superiority of knowledge over brute force, which is
something that people don't,
I guess, pay attention to or don't value
anymore.
And that maybe why the world is the
way it is. You know?
Aliflamim
Tanzil is also known as Suraj Sajdah.
As the name indicates, there's a Sajdah in
it.
It's a Hadith. There's a Hadith narrated that
the messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Sallam read
Suraj Sajdah and on Fridays.
Or on a on a Friday, I should
say.
And so this is the
Suraj the reading, Suraj the and then Suraj
the second rakkah, which is a relatively long
salat
to to read both of them.
This is a practice that is,
to this day,
preferred by the Muaddifun.
It's interesting because in the Indian subcontinent, even
though the Madras says they're all very Hanafi
to the core.
If there's any
Madras graduates listening to this
recording. They're like, yeah. Dang right.
But there are certain things that they do
that are actually the habits of the
because the because they're well transmitted hadith.
So
the they like this practice on Suratul on
on on sorry. On Fajr
day Friday
to read Suratul Sajdah in the first rakah
and read
read Suratul Dahr in the second rakah.
It's Surat Al Dahr is also it's another
name for Surat Al Insan. I think in
the in the that are written in the
Arab lands, they write Suratul insan,
and in the masahef in the Indian subcontinent,
they write Suratul dhar.
But,
yeah. And that's not according to Fokuhada, it's
not a regular practice of the prophet, sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam, according to Malik and Hanafi
Fokuhaha as far as I understand. But because
it's narrated, the people like doing it. So
I I think I remember once also reading
reading that in, in the, Al Haram Sharif
and Makkamukarama as well,
which is very blessed
to follow a practice of the prophet
place much follow.
So yeah.
Afterwards
and this is also
a a a practice of the her father
that
that when a person wishes to memorize the
Quran, one of the first Surah that they
have them memorize is Surah Sajdah.
I've seen this many many who follow the
Quran. This is a practice that they keep
as well.
Wafi
Sad. Uh-uh. At the words
And it said or at the words,
is,
is, Surat of Frukan. I'm sorry. Sorry. It's
tough for us. Surat for Silat.
In the Surat for Silat was,
was
that's there's a sages out there.
Well, I asked you to
A person shouldn't make the salza to tilaw
except for in a state of wudu. Just
like you don't do it in prayer.
You don't sorry. You don't pray without, a
state of wudu. You don't make
without a state of wudu.
That a person should say Allahu Akbar when
going to sajdah and when coming out of
it.
And a person doesn't say salaam because you're
actually not in prayer, you're in something that's
like prayer, but it's not prayer, so you
don't salaam out of it. We say Allahu
Akbar going in.
The that you say in order to go
into the is more important than the one
that you say to come out of it.
If you omit the one coming out of
it, it's not as big of a deal,
although it's still better to do so.
If a person makes Allahu Akbar to come
out of out of the as well, That's
more preferable to us, the author of the
book says.
And a person who reads any of these
different places,
they, should make the for them,
whether it's in in the farthest prayer or
in
the prayer.
That's
my grammar bad. It's been a long day
for all of us.
So, so he's giving some
details,
just like the salat. Right? The salat is
once you read the prayers to pray anything
until after the sun has risen off of
the horizon,
and, which we all which we've taken before.
We've taken this before in class.
And,
same thing with Asar. When you're done with
Asar, you don't pray again until Maghrib. Right?
But he's so he's clarifying. He's saying that
as far as the Sajjadilau is concerned,
you can do it as long as the
sun is not actually rising or setting.
Like, the 3 minutes it takes from the
top of the disc of the sun to
hit the horizon from and the bottom of
the disc to lift lift off,
when rising. And then the bottom of the
disc to hit the horizon when setting in
the top. Those, like, 3 minutes, you know,
one in the beginning of the day and
one at the end. At that time, you
shouldn't make sajdul tilawa, just wait.
But as long as you're not in that
those those, like, 3 minutes where that's actually
happening, you can make the Sajatulawah,
that's
that's the time to make it.
Another Hukum that he doesn't mention is that
the Sajatulawah should happen in pairs.
A person fulfills the minimum sunnah by making
1,
but it's better to do 2. So Allahu
Akbar going to,
then Allahu Akbar come out of it and
then Allahu Akbar going to it again
and then Allahu Akbar come out. That's the
best the optimal way of doing it.
Another hookum he doesn't mention is for the
people who are
memorizing. Like, just say you're memorizing,
you're you're memorizing Surah. Right?
You have to repeat the eye again and
again. What you can do is just keep
reading it, And then at the end of
all of that, just make one sadza for
all of them having cumulated
accumulated.
That's fine.
Are there any questions?
No. Yes.
I got
Okay. So so start again. What's the first
one?
Al Arrah. Al Arrah. Okay. The second one?
Al Arrah.
Mhmm. 3rd one? Al Isra?
No. Nahalim. Sir, Nahal.
Nahal.
And Sirs of Nahal.
That's the b, man. Yeah. That's the b.
Now,
so to Miriam.
So Surah Al Isra and then Surah Al
Mariam. Yeah. And then after that?
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
And then? Al Hakan.
Mhmm.
And now now? Namal. Namal?
Namal.
Namal?
Namalun.
It's like with a,
a a sukoon on the meme, but because
And then?
Uh-huh.
You see that? Uh-huh.
I don't have the rest.
There's Saad.
I'll show it to sod. Yeah. So it's
sod is in there as well. Mhmm. How
many we up to?
Okay.
So Suratul Adaf
and then Suratul Rad, then Suratul Nahal, and
then Surat Bani Israel, also known as Isra,
and Surat
Miriam. Bani Israel and Isra are the same
thing. Miriam
and then Hajj
and then Furkan
and then Nemo
and then
Mhmm. Sajda then sod
Mhmm. And then,
Fusilat. That's 11.
Mhmm. You got it? Mhmm. And then you
said it's best to
do it like you're doing, to say,
go in and then pause, come up and
sit in
the sitting position and say
again and then say
come out. Right? Correct.
And do I am I saying anything in
prostration and I'm and It's the same the
same the same things that you say when
you're in the sides of the prayer. I
mean, the sides of the prayer as well.
There's not anything
specific that a person has to say, although
because it comes in certain hadith,
it's recommended, they say
because the tafsir,
there's a verse
put it in your
means glorify the name of your lord most
high. So that's why we say sub subhanahu.
But really there are any number of,
different words of glorification and praise of Allah
that come in the different hadith, and a
person can make dua in such that as
well.
So if the person didn't say
or even even if they didn't say anything
or even if they're in sajdah and they
just said in sajdah or, you know, they
said something else, it's still theoretically okay. Another
thing that's narrated in the sajdah of the
prophet
that I used to hear,
the, like, the, like,
like, master sheikh of the place that we
studied in Mauritania, and he's
I don't I've never heard anyone ever
say anything other than him being basically the
most respected alum in the entire Mauritania.
Murabit, I used to hear him say in
his
which is also narrated from the prophet
mean meaning the the most glorified
the most holy
the lord of thee,
the angels, and the spirits.
The number of these things they come in
things like that. So you can say any
of that stuff in the in the so
is that Okay. Yeah.
Alright.
Okay. So we start the chapter.
And then there's a chapter regarding the prayer
of a traveler.
Obviously, a lot of the issues regarding traveling,
we covered them in the Babun Jami'r al
Fisala, the the
the the chapter
the all encompassing chapter regarding the prayer,
in which
issues that don't fit neatly from one place
or the other are all gathered together.
But here, he he brings some of them
are repetitions and some of them are
are, you know, different issues with regards to
the prayer of a traveler.
So a person is
to pray the traveler prayer, traveler's prayer when
they're
when their trip is over 48 miles long.
And there's a difference of opinion as to
how
long a mile is.
And,
we talked about that before. It's the difference
between 48 miles and, like, 27 point whatever
miles.
And the other Madhevs, they prefer the 48
miles.
And the the the the Madhevs have prefer
the 27,
and, Alano's best.
So let's just do the
calculation again real quick.
So 48.
Let's see. Clear.
48
divided by 35100
equals
times
2,000.
Yeah. It comes out to 27.4
miles.
So the 2 the 2 conditions for praying
the traveler's prayer is what? 1, the total
distance of your
trip is this 27.4
miles or more.
And the second condition is that you've actually
passed the last limit of the houses of
your city
that you're not you're not at them.
They're not in front of you nor are
they,
beside you. They're behind you.
Then the question comes up to what is
your city?
And,
Sheikh Rami, he
prefers the opinion
of the city
being your
city limits,
if the city has its own courts, it
has its own
water,
its own waste collection, its own police, its
own markets,
etcetera, then that's the city. So for example,
you guys live in Villa Park.
So if you're going to my house, which
is in Addison,
you're gonna shorten your prayer?
No. No? Why not?
Because this we we because it because it
limited limit. It ain't 20 so no. No.
No. You're in a different city now. Right?
But you're tripping
27.4 miles or more. Right? Now what if
you was going to
Milwaukee?
Yes. And then you stopped at my house,
and, theoretically, you could shorten your prayer according
to that opinion, which I trust Sheikh Rami's
over my own.
There's an opinion that that the,
that all of the cities that are that
share contiguous border, that their aggregate, all of
them can be considered to be one city.
So in that case, it would be all
of Chicagoland.
I take that opinion if not for any
other reason than in order to make Jummah
valid whenever whenever I go somewhere and and
pray it so that I'm not a Musafir.
But,
at any rate. What's that's mean, Musafir?
Musafir means traveler. Traveler. Because the Jummah the
Jummah Khutba in
in,
the Maliki school is not valid if it's
given by a traveler.
Now in the other Madhavs, it is.
So please don't
bum rush the the imam and, like,
throw your feet down.
When I travel to places, oftentimes, you know,
people
will ask me to give the Khutba, and
I'll ask their imam their local imam just
to give I'll I'll say I'll give the
band, and they can just give the Khutba
real quick in Arabic and then lead the
prayer.
I admit that that doesn't always go
over every place that I go.
And so, alhamdulillah, the other have their opinions.
I try to follow the the Maliki School
to the best of my ability unless it's
gonna cause a ruckus in a place or
whatever.
You know, someone might say, well, you're not
being consistent. Well,
you know, I think
the cause of the the the benefit of
the MedHBS
is that they
allow us to retain these cohesive
ways of understanding the law.
I don't think the point of them is
to cause division
and ruckus in the ummah.
And, maybe maybe, you know, I'm right, maybe
I'm wrong,
But we hope in front of Allah
that you'll at least accept that much from
us.
And so well, sir,
sir,
So so that that then a person will
not continue to or will not just praying
pray their whole prayer again
until they get back into their city limits
or they're, like, a mile away or they're,
like, really close to it from from coming
from a long trip.
And so all of the prayers that are
for Rakaz, they become 2 once a person
is in the hook them of being a
traveler,
which is,
Suba has already 2, so it stays 2.
The harasser, Isha go from 4 to 2.
Stays 3.
The
the the hookam or the the ruling of
of shortening the prayer is that it is
a
sunnah mu aqada.
That is a rigorously emphasized sunnah.
So if a person elects to pray for,
even though it's a sunnah to pray to,
it's actually less reward to pray for while
traveling than it is to pray to. There
are exceptions to that rule. The exception being
that if a person's trip is
undertaken for
the purpose of disobedience
So someone says, well, I'm gonna go to,
like,
Racine, Wisconsin and rob a liquor store.
Don't do it. If you do, don't shorten
your prayer because it's not valid. You still
have to pray. Although you should think of
yourself as a goof because you're praying on
the way to rob a liquor store. Hopefully,
your prayer will stop you from doing silly
things like that.
For the record, I don't know anyone who
would do something like that, but since it
is fit class, it's a complete hypothetical
hypothetical situation.
If someone is on a trip to do
with an intention of doing some Haram,
then know that Allah doesn't extend
his
facilitation to people who wish to do evil.
But, you know, that's an exception. Another exception
is if you're praying behind a local imam
who's not a traveler, in that case then
you have to pray for with them. You
can't just pray to and bounce out.
Someone's asked me that before on occasions.
But, yeah, if you're praying alone or if
you're you're leading the prayer,
then it's actually more reward to pray to
than it is to pray for.
Because the sunnah of the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam, and it's a gift from Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala and he makes him happy that
you take it. And
that's the rahman mercy of the Lord.
And so if a person imagine they leave
their house and they're in the ruling of
a traveler. If at any stop along the
way, they stop at a place in which
they intend to stay in that place for
more than
the time it takes to pray 20 prayers,
which is 3 days and 3 nights, not
including the day or night that you arrive
and not the day or night that you
leave. So 20 prayers or more.
Then once you enter into that city, then
you pray your full prayer. And then when
you leave from that city, then you become
a traveler again.
And it's not that you get to keep
shortening your prayers for 20 prayers, then afterward
you pray complete. If your intention is to
stay in that place for more than the
time of 20 prayers, then from the moment
you set foot in that city, you'll, pray
your complete prayers.
Does that make sense? Mhmm.
The people always kinda have a misunderstanding about
that.
So is that the
basically, when when when you know that that
you're gonna be there for longer than
than than 3 days, you you just say
your full print. Yeah. Exactly.
Because you know it ain't 3 days.
Right.
So for example, if we're going from Villa
Park to
Albuquerque, New Mexico,
and you're gonna stay there for, like, 7
days. Okay?
Once your plane lands over there,
from that time as long as you're there,
you're going to
you're gonna pray your full prayer.
Now just say you're gonna go to Albuquerque
and then from there, you're going to Santa
Fe, and then you're gonna come back.
And so that makes the time spent in
each place less than the time of
20 prayers. Then in that case, you'll pray
the shortened prayer
each place.
But if you're in a city
and you're not gonna leave it,
then that's that's what you're
that's what you're doing.
You said 7, but don't count the day
you arrive and the day the day you
leave. So that's like 3 days, not counting
the day or night you arrive and not
counting the day or night you leave. So
that comes into 20. Right? So 3 times
5 is 15 plus
plus the day or night you arrive, plus
the day or night you you leave.
But that's when you get to shorten it
if it's 3.
Right? Yeah.
If it's more than if you count, if
there are more than 20 prayers that you're
gonna pray in the place,
20 prayers or more, then you don't shorten.
Marco.
