			Bismillah, salaam, Alaikum,
wahtullah.
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:10
			Dinner and doubts. I know many
Rafales who prefer not eating
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:10
			before Tarawa,
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:16
			perhaps because of nerves or
because they fear they're going to
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			be too full and it'll leave them
uncomfortable during their
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:24
			rendition and enduring the salah.
I understand I was there too many
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27
			years ago, but I've changed over
the years, because I've realized
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			you need something in your
stomach. You've been fasting for
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:34
			12 hours or more, and you need
something to draw energy from.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
			Otherwise you know what's going to
happen. You may lose concentration
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:43
			during your prayer and you may
feel fatigued or you may feel
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:47
			strained afterwards to take its
toll, I stood behind a half with
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:51
			ones who fainted in the mihrab,
dehydrated and the nourished was
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:55
			not looking after himself. You
need something naturally sweet,
		
00:00:55 --> 00:01:01
			like fruits. You need some
roughage and fiber like your
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:06
			veggies, you need some protein for
your muscles, fish, chicken, red
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:10
			meat, something, not too much, but
something one plate is sufficient.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:16
			Then eating after taraweeh, so
that's that's a dinner issue.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			Eating after taraweeh,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:25
			you get hungry and you must eat
something. Okay, but the problems
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:31
			are these two problems, two
potential issues. You end up not
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:36
			resting adequately, because if you
eat late, your body works through
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:41
			the night, digesting what you've
eaten, and you get up tired and
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:41
			not really
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:48
			hungry and craving something for
sehari becomes a formality.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			Secondly, if you eat too late,
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:56
			you may wake up with some acid
reflux that you thought was a
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:59
			start of a cold, like an itch in
your throat or dryness in your
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:03
			mouth and throat. You thought it
was a nasal drip, but it's, it's
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:09
			actually. It was actually, or is
actually acid reflux, heartburn,
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:13
			ENT specialists, ear, nose and
throat specialist will tell you
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:18
			have a Gaviscon after you've eaten
late at night, or have an antacid
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			before you eat, or
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:24
			if you are able to and prop
yourself up with the upper part of
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			your body is higher than your the
lower part, and sleep in that
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:31
			manner, uncomfortable, but it
saves you from any reflux. The
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			reflux is is what
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:37
			attacks your chords and your vocal
box and may affect you long term.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:43
			So try your best with dinner. Is
concerned. Have something before
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:47
			tarawih. You need the energy. And
if you must have something after,
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:53
			then minimal and have the gabascon
or antacid or some some liquid,
		
00:02:53 --> 00:03:00
			something light, and do your best
to nourish yourself appropriately.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:05
			Then where doubts are concerned,
it is natural to doubt. Your brain
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:10
			is an overdrive. It's intensely
focused. So it's going to give you
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:14
			some additional options. If you're
doubting throughout the day or on
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:18
			your way to the masjid or before
your turn, take a musthave, take a
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:23
			copy of the Quran, take your phone
app, etc, and check that gives you
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:26
			more confidence, because you saw
what you are seeing and you know
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:30
			what you are supposed to say.
However, if a doubt arises, if you
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:35
			get a doubt during your rendition
in the Salah, then my advice to
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:40
			you is go with what you first felt
and thought to say. Your brain
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			gave you more options, but you
were going to say something. You
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:46
			were going to say. It made you
say. It made you think, isn't it
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			possibly what you were going to
say? Yala moon, for example. It
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:53
			made you think, isn't it Tala
moon, my advice is, 90% of the
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:58
			time your first, your initial idea
or plan or intention is the
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:01
			correct one. If it happens to be
incorrect, those behind you
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:06
			will rectify you, and if they
missed it, then after you check
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			for yourself and you learn through
the experience, there's no perfect
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:12
			reciter. Doubts are going to come
if ever there was a perfect
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			reciting with bi Rasulullah
sallallahu sallam, we are merely
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17
			trying to serve the book and do
our best in that space. And the
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:21
			younger you are in this
relationship with the Quran, the
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:25
			more prone you are to some doubts,
which is normal, natural with time
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:28
			over years and repetition, your
ear becomes conditioned to the
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:31
			particular flow. Your eye becomes
conditioned, your mouth becomes
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			conditioned, and your brain
becomes conditioned, and
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:36
			hopefully, your heart becomes
conditioned as to where the words
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			fit and how they fit and where
they fit.
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:43
			So don't worry. So dinner,
consider having something before
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:48
			tarawih and having less after, so
you can wake up for sahore Nice
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:54
			and hungry and then your doubts.
Be gentle with yourself and handle
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			them. Manage them and take them as
a learning curve, a learning
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			experience. Sha Allah, salaam,
Alaikum.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:00
			Muhammad Sallallahu.
