00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			My dear sisters,
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:10
			we are on our session on the wisdom of Manali Salaam, we ask Allah Subhana Allah
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:35
			We ask Allah subhanaw taala to enable us to do that which pleases Him and to save us from that which
is not pleasing. The purpose of all of these sessions, all of them all the four sessions that we do
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, every week Alhamdulillah we have been doing these now,
regularly for almost one year, I can't believe that we have been able to
		
00:00:36 --> 00:01:04
			do these things for for so long consistency and the last colostrum anatella for strengthen the
ability to continue this, to keep on learning about his Deen and to keep on reflecting on the
beautiful examples that are a gift for us to reflect on throughout our lives. And to benefit from
that the purpose of all of this is to practice it in our lives, is not simply to,
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:23
			to, you know, just read and read or listen and go away, and be entertained by these things, but buy,
but to reflect on these. And then to ask ourselves this question and say, what is it that I need to
do in my life, to make my life
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:45
			as close to the examples that Allah that has given us so we are looking at the life of the Nanda
like the advice that Lavalle ceram gave to his son, which Allah subhanaw taala told us about and the
purpose of that is for us to reflect on it and to make our lives
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:54
			make our lives a reflection of the example that Allah subhanaw taala gave us.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			Today we start the session
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			on Salah, where
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:16
			he said to his son, yeah, buena Yaki me Salah, what Marbella roofie one hi Neil moon curry was
better Allah saw back in that he came in as male more
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:41
			that actually for different things, and for critical and important things, that wireless alarm is
set to son, which Allah subhanaw taala mentioned in this last round that as mentioned what was said,
which is all my son Akemi Salah, established the salah, then enjoy and good ol Morrow,
		
00:02:43 --> 00:03:10
			on the people whatever is good and forbid Moncure forbid all evil is believe rebellious ness, sins
and so on. And bear with patience whatever befalls you as a result of these a very there are these
are some of the important commandments ordered by Allah subhanho wa Taala with no exceptions.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			Number one sisters
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			Now think about that that
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:28
			I lost my daughter told us for things that require Lisa lamps first and foremost established Salah
second is amor will borrow, enjoy and good. Third is near.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:04:19
			Prevent evil. And fourth is as a result of our Marvin a mocker you are likely to face some
difficulties and hardships. When that happens. Don't get don't get discouraged. Don't give up. Don't
get depressed don't react don't behave the way others may behave with you behave with dignity behave
a suburbia with patience behavior and continue to persevere. Now this is a you know beautiful piece
of advice that laquan Elisa Lam gave to his son for different things. So let's look at the first
part of it which is Salah. Now my suggestion is please don't get involved in asking questions. This
is one of the problems that that we have, especially with our so called educated class, which is
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:45
			that people get involved and gets them involved in useless questions. For example, people say oh was
it was the Salah the same way that it was today? Well what does it matter whether it was the same
way or some other way, whatever it was, it was called salah and Allah subhanaw taala that
established Salah when we look at it, what is Salah Salah is what our solar system taught us, which
is how we pray, that is Allah and therefore we need to establish Salah in our lives. My brothers and
sisters
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			Think about this, that
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:56
			this Salah, think about Islam 14 centuries ago,
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			an incident happened that had never happened before.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:47
			Well Amazon's allies allies lm was taken on a multi dimensional tour of the Universe by is Rob
Delgado defying all laws of physics. And that is because the one who makes the rules is not bound by
the rules. The laws of physics are the creation of Allah subhanho data. So Allah subhanaw taala is
not bound by the laws of physics, about his journey on which Allah subhanaw taala took his last and
final method sallallahu sallam, Allah Subhana Allah de sala de Laila Miguel, Merci de la isla musti
the Luxor lovely Baraka hola who the Nuria who Minaya Tina, in who was Samuel Percy,
		
00:05:48 --> 00:06:02
			Allah Glorified and Exalted is He Allah subhanho wa Taala above all the evil that they associate
with him, who took his slave Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for a journey by night.
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:08
			La Jolla Middle West, in the light by
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:14
			for a journey in the light from almost almost to the UK Aqsa
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:38
			from Al Masjid al Haram in Makkah to the masjid Al Aqsa, which is in Jerusalem, the neighborhood of
which which is the neighborhood are much roxa Allah said, we have blessed in order that we might
show him homosassa lamb, our is our science. And verily, he della delallo, Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:06:39 --> 00:07:17
			is the all here and the all seer on this journey rasulillah salam was taken from one dimension into
another one heaven into another and then to the sizzle of the Taha and then onwards to wherever is
Rob gela de la who wills and there is Rob geladeira, who gave him a gift, a gift that was not only
for him as analyzed, but by his Baraka by the work of the Rasul a gift for his entire oma because
this oma was to be special.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:35
			This oma was special not because of any physical or other attribute but because of the work that is
Omar was supposed to do, and this oma had been created for and that was the work of the Amir alayhi
wa sallam
		
00:07:36 --> 00:08:26
			because and this happened because Rasul Allah is a solemn was to be the final, maybe Allah subhanaw
taala struck the wallet and the salad, there is no Nabil and there is no soul after Muhammad
Sallallahu sallam, whoever claims no matter what or salad after Solis and sell them, we reject them,
and we discard them and we say that they are liars, that they are not the Gambia or the souls of
Allah subhanho wa Taala. To Allah subhanaw taala struggle with and is Allah, but the work of no more
than the Salah, which is to enjoin good and forbid evil, and to establish a connection with Allah
subhanaw taala This is a need this is a basic fundamental, critical need for the survival of the
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:51
			human being, it is even more critical than breathing or eating or drinking. And I'm saying breathing
because if you if you stop breathing, you die. But if you die without a man, then you go into the
Hellfire forever and that is not inevitable. So, therefore, is very important. And guidance is
needed, which is even more important than the need for food and water, even more important than the
air.
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:57
			Now, therefore, since this Omar
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			was to be given this job
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:02
			of,
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:55
			of introducing Allah subhanho data to his creatures of enjoining, good and forbidding evil, it was
necessary that this oma was was would it was necessary to give this woman a means of coming into the
presence of the Arab geladeira who, whose work they were doing, to ask for his help and to draw from
him strength and inspiration. The journey of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam was called Mirage and he
called the Salah miraggio moment for it by its means that the believer would come into the presence
of his robe gelatin Alou at will brothers sisters, just think about this reflect on this. What would
you say what would you give
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			if you wanted to meet if you needed to meet and you wanted to meet
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:48
			The head of a state the head of a large corporation, and you applied for permission, and you applied
for that meeting. And you were given that you were given a particular time, believe me, I mean, if
necessary, you would probably go and park your car on the curb side, outside the building and
sleeping the night there to ensure that you were there on time. Because this was a person who is so
big and powerful. And his opportunity to meet this person is so unique and rare, that you didn't
want to goof it up. You didn't want to do something which would result in that person being upset
with you, or that meeting going wrong anyway, so you would make sure that you did everything
		
00:10:48 --> 00:11:21
			possible to ensure that you were there in time. What would you say? When you reflect on this fact?
That with Allah subhana wa Taala and Allah, Allah is not comparable to any human a human agent or
any human person or power of Allah subhanaw taala is incompatible. What do you say that in the case
of Allah Subhana Allah, Allah subhanaw taala gave you the opportunity to meet him any time you want.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:12:05
			You don't have to go and park on the Gulf side and sleeping the night for that. You don't have to
even stand in a line for that. Any single time absolutely any time of the day or night. If you want
to meet Allah subhanho wa Taala. All you need to do is make Waldo and you stand facing the fibula.
If you if you are in a place where you don't even know the direction of the Qibla then you just
stand facing anywhere and use Allahu Akbar, and you are instantly transported into the Presence of
Allah subhanho wa Taala jell o jell o and you are speaking to ns mano telogen. When you make sujood
nebuchadrezzar him said, when the slave makes such that he is making such that ad in front of the
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:25
			earth of Allah subhanaw taala in front of the throne of Allah subhanho wa Taala he is not making
sense there on the earth is making sense out there in the heavens, in front of the throne of Allah
subhana wa Jalla Jelena What do you say to this? I really I think it is necessary for us to reflect
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:46
			not just listen, I mean, I, I talk for a certain length of time, because that is the length of the
class. And so therefore I'm talking but forget about my talking, just just think about this and say
that I am standing before Allah, what does it what does it really mean? What is a sense that I have
in me, what is the feeling that I have in me?
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:51
			Right? Is it just some routine thing that I'm going to allow? But
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:54
			is it like that?
		
00:12:55 --> 00:13:24
			Because if it is like that, then it's such a squandering of a boom, it's such a squandering of a
blessing. It is such a squandering of this enormous wealth, that is impossible to describe. I mean,
I try my best to try to describe it and I'm, you know, reasonably good with words, but this is
beyond. beyond description, how do you describe the the sense of this, of standing in the, in the
presence of a lot of animals
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:28
			and talking to him and making sense out
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:42
			in front of me, Allah grant us this, in, in actual reality when we meet him on the Day of Judgment
paradox pantalla grant that we are able to see him on his apps.
		
00:13:44 --> 00:14:10
			This is what I love, and that's the reason why Nebula Salaam called this Salah, the mirage of the
moment, his marriage was that he went physically for us. We don't have to go physically being here
itself. We can go into the Presence of Allah subhanho wa Taala any time we want. So that is why Lama
Elisa Lam's advice he began by saying Hakim is Salah.
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14
			Is it established Salah.
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:26
			Right established establishment means what means that this is the central part, this is a central
principle in my life. Everything in my life revolves around it it goes around it.
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:47
			Right everything I do is based on the establishment of Salah meaning that whatever work I have to do
must be around the time of the Salah must not be compromised for anything. If it is time to pray
that I will pray no matter what.
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:59
			Right I will put up a sign saying I am praying and I will pray. I will not be in a situation where I
cannot. Where I'm leaving Salah. I remember what 20 years ago 2022 years ago
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:08
			I was in a Majid here, on the way to New York between between here Springfield summers in New York,
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:54
			in a place called Bridgeport, in this budget, in Bridgeport, it was off the highway. And this budget
was used to be a bank. It was interesting because in this budget, if you went into the budget, just
in front of the Imam was the vault of the bank. So of course, the, the bank had sold the building to
the, to the masjid. And this wall was, I mean, it was solid concrete, and this door was solid steel,
the people of the budget did it, they didn't want to, they would have it would have cost them a
fortune to, you know, to demolish all that and dig it up. So they just left it like this. And just
the door would be open. So just so that, you know, somebody doesn't get locked in accident. So you
		
00:15:54 --> 00:16:09
			when you when you went to pray there, you right in front of the Imam was this huge ward of the of
the bank, you know, big door and you could see inside the, in the wallet of the bank. So I remember
we went there and
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:24
			after you prayed and so on, we were sitting and I noticed there was a there was a 711 store across
the street. From the mercy the district was a small seat. This is a small town. And we're not
talking about a highway or anything just you know,
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:30
			Street was you know, 10 1520 feet wide or something, you know, anything.
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:37
			So I walked across to the central store, you know, wanted to buy a couple of things. And
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:42
			we were we were there my my brother and I,
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:45
			Natalia and myself
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:56
			we met there and we went them we saw that this this the person working there is not the owner. He
was the employee of the owner
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:58
			was a Muslim guy.
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:15
			He was from the subcontinent. I think he was Bangladeshi, if I'm not mistaken. So he this guy was
there. So we asked him to draw this on as you are right across from the budget and so on and so
forth. So we said you know, you know, maybe you get all your soldiers in the Marines. I don't know.
I don't know. I have no time.
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:24
			I said well, you have you're literally across the street from the Muslim if you take a stone and
throw it like that it will fall in the budget.
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:38
			But you never go to pray. So no, I have not asked what about Juma is that I don't go to the mouse. I
mean, I'm not I'm I'm here. I can't shut the store. I cannot put a sign on something like that. I
can't do that. I have to be here. And I cannot go and I don't pray.
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:49
			I said what about praying? I mean Juma Of course you can't bring the other don't you bring the store
you're just like that. Five minutes. He's no i'm not i
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:51
			can't shut the store.
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:54
			So I asked him I said what do you do if you have to go to the toilet?
		
00:17:56 --> 00:18:09
			So spontaneously, I asked him the question he also answered spontaneously, he didn't realize what I
was getting at. So I said if you have to go to the toilet, you know number one, number two,
whatever. What do you do? He said I put a sign on the door saying
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:30
			you know store his shirt and I go to the toilet and I come back as quickly as I can. So I said you
do that to go to the toilet but you don't do that to go for Salah. So you are saying that your
Salah, that Salah for you is less important than going to the toilet.
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:40
			That is the value that you have of Salah. That Salah is less important for you than going to the
toilet.
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:49
			He was shocked. He was shocked I also felt a bit bad after saying it but I said anyway what he said
he said cannot be unset
		
00:18:51 --> 00:19:06
			but that is the reality. So my point is if that is our value for Salah, then what do you say about
about our EMA and what do you say about this Salah being able to help us or taking some some benefit
out of the Salah
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:10
			model is a little hard to say.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:19
			I would say what it is to say no to and translate it. He used to say take a take a
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:32
			jump tuck so he knew he was a t jeptha k to me is karaoke no j k is namazi tumhari dounia v keys na
t
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:36
			jeptha k today is bad kuryakyn
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:43
			keys no mazzi Tamara dunia k mosyle harlowton. Hey, Doug.
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:49
			He was used to say that your Salah cannot be
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:59
			improved, it cannot have meaning it cannot have value it cannot benefit you until you are convinced
that this Allah will solve
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			Your worldly problems,
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:05
			your world issues.
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:09
			We are so rooted in the material world.
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:29
			Think about that. And think about this this statement because the statement is, is I have the Quran
it's exactly what Allah said in the Quran. Allah subhanaw taala said, Yeah, you are Lavina amanotes
dayenu be somebody was Salah, in the llama, somebody, Allah,
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:35
			or you believe, take the help of sobor and Salah.
		
00:20:36 --> 00:21:12
			And Verily Allah is with the people who have some. Now summer is my understanding and translation of
summer is not just sitting around waiting for things to happen, but to do the best that we can do
that is a time the camera part of the action. So doing the best that we can do. And then standing in
salah and asking Allah for his help, you might have done the best that I can do, why do I need to
stand in Salah because of two reasons First and foremost, because you know, and I know that even the
best that we can do for it to work for it to have an effect. It is
		
00:21:15 --> 00:22:06
			it is dependent upon and it needs the order of Allah subhanho wa Taala if Allah subhanaw taala does
not give that command, if Allah does not order it to be for our benefit, it will not benefit us. So
therefore we need that. Second thing is because the salada is the target of the heart. This is what
prevents us from becoming arrogant. This is what prevents us from believing that we are self made
men that it is our effort our intelligence, our farsightedness and whatnot, which enabled us to
succeed, this is owning up to the fact that standing before Alliance or law, none of this of mine is
going to work unless you make it work. Even the fact that I made this effort is because of you, you
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:36
			gave me the ability you gave me the guidance, you taught me what to do, you gave me the wherewithal
to do that, if you are not done any of that, even this effort, I could not have made as a
hamdulillah I have made the effort, but I know this effort cannot succeed without your Hong Kong
without your order, without your instruction coming down about this effort. So please send that
order send that instruction and make my effort fruitful.
		
00:22:37 --> 00:23:27
			That is the meaning of sobor was Allah Allah did not says our our Salah, Allah did not say our or
cerises server and Salah Allah did not say Salatu was server He did not say Salah before summaries
or savasana. So, therefore, it is extremely important for us to understand that this Salah came for
us and it came for us to ensure that we we make a we make use of it and see the beauty of this all
the all the laws, all the instructions, all the rules of Allah subhanho wa Taala they came to
Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam on this earth through the means of what he which came through the
village Salaam, or in other ways, but Salah is the only rule is the only thing that Allah subhanaw
		
00:23:27 --> 00:24:05
			taala called him to the seventh heaven and beyond in order to bestow this gift and this honor on
him. Salallahu alaihe salam and thanks to the fact that he is the last w Li Salam and that he after
him there is no Nabhi and after us there is no other oma. Therefore, because of his Baraka because
of his being the last and final messenger. This Salah came also to us of other sisters, I remind
myself when you let us look at that Salah as it needs to be looked at that is look at it as the
greatest honor as the greatest
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:58
			gift as the greatest resource. Salah is a tool, Salah is a weapon, Salah is a resource, it is us
Bible Allah, it is the highest of means of achieving everything that we want in this life and the
next, my brothers sisters, let us use let us make use of Salah let us not treat Salah as a burden as
something to be discharged and dumped and gone and we walk away. No, Salah is something that we
embrace we look after it, you know like we have things that we like yesterday I saw somebody he had
an mg you know sports car and elderly man and I saw him washing this car and I saw him then very
lovingly polishing this car into the chocolate color. Very beautiful little I mean I don't
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:00
			particularly like smoking.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:37
			scars to cut to uncomfortable but is not so good. So pretty. So it was a it was an mg ca mg and
beautifully maintained and you know so he's spending all his time energy, polishing it and so on and
so forth. I thought to myself, Oh this is part of a German, if you really like something you love
something you want to get the benefit of that thing. You have to look out for that thing. So if you
really want to drive that mg, and you know speed down the road and have fun, it's a it's a it's a
convertible, it's an open drop so you know the breeze and whatever is left on your head. The point
is that it's something which you have to then look after. You can have you can trash it, you can
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:50
			just leave it there you know to rust and and get full of dust and muck and then you cannot enjoy it
and same thing applies to everything if you whatever you want to enjoy. You have to look after so it
takes a lot of effort.
		
00:25:51 --> 00:26:30
			Before I sit in a beautiful garden, I have to acknowledge the effort that went into making that
garden beautiful somebody worked on it, right if it's my garden, I worked on it but somebody else's
garden they worked on it, and then I'm able to go sit there and enjoy it and and you know praise
Allah subhanaw taala The same thing applies to Salah if I want to use the Salah if I want to make
use of the Salah if I want this Allah to be my greatest resource and weapon and tool and, and the
Bible Allah then I have to spend time on the Salah, I have to work on the Salah. I have to ensure
that the Salah is that I'm doing it the way that Allah subhanaw taala wants me to do it and that I
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:34
			am not you know ignoring it misusing it, that I am not
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:38
			that I am not doing something which
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:42
			which Allah subhanaw taala did not
		
00:26:44 --> 00:27:36
			did not allow me to do so therefore I must make sure that the Salah is taken care of my brothers
sisters, Salah is also the proof that one has entered Islam This is the evidence This is the
physical manifestation by action of the faith that a Muslim declares the declaration of faith, the
Kalamata Eva kalavati Cali mahtani Shangri La ilaha illallah wa shawanda Muhammad Rasul Allah, the
Salah is the physical manifestation, the evidence that a Muslim declares that he worships nobody,
except Allah subhanho wa Taala. Once he has that faith, he demonstrates it by actually worshipping
Allah subhanaw taala in the way that Allah subhanaw taala prescribed and taught His Messenger
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:49
			sallallahu Sallam if one says that nobody is worthy of worship except Allah, La ilaha illa Allah,
but then does not actually worship Allah. Then how can you say that he has faith?
		
00:27:50 --> 00:28:25
			Salah is the action which distinguishes and sets apart the believer from the non believer. The
believer worships Allah. The non believer doesn't. It's as simple as that. And that is the reason
why Surah Surah Sallam said I had a lady by Nana verbena whom masala Forman arada ha cadca Oh, c'mon
Kalani serrato salaam wa salatu wa sallam said that the dividing line the distinguishing feature,
the the the line which
		
00:28:26 --> 00:29:17
			separates the believer from the non believer, he said the line between between us and them they had
the covenant I had to live by in an hour buying a home between us and them as Salah, Salah is the is
the differentiator Salah is the it's not anything else is not charity, it's not. It's in the Salah.
It's not even a declaration of light, that light Allah has to be substantiated. It has to be proven,
be with the evidence of the salah and himself among our other half Saqqara The one who denies it the
one who leaves it the one who does not do it, the one who belies it, the one who refuses it has left
Islam has committed We ask Allah subhanaw taala to save us from this don't get even involved because
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:22
			different Allah and different ima have given different fatawa about whether
		
00:29:23 --> 00:30:00
			leaving just one Salah deliberately is sufficient to take you out of Islam. Somebody else said
leaving just one Salah is not sufficient, leaving three Juma is does that job some people said it is
not. You know one or more or something. If a person specifically speaks this out and says Salah is
not for me, I will not pray then only whatever be the case. The fact is a solar Solar System said
foreman out of the hat, the one who has left it, whatever is the meaning of left Bolivian brothers,
sisters. If you are not praying in some way you're going to fall into
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:16
			That into that definition. So, let us not do that let us not fall into that definition, let us
ensure that we pray and we pray on time because the Salah has been prescribed at specific times,
this is the
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:27
			this is the most important thing for us to understand Salah is not whenever we feel like when Salah
is at specific times and therefore we need to pray at specific time.
		
00:30:30 --> 00:31:15
			This does Salah is the proof that we have entered Islam. It is the physical manifestation as I
mentioned, by action of the faith that we have declared that we worship no one except Allah subhanho
wa Taala. Once a person has that faith, he demonstrates it by actually worshiping Allah subhanho wa
Taala in the way that Allah subhanho wa Taala prescribed and taught Rasulullah sallallahu sallam. If
one says that nobody is worthy of worship except Allah, but does not actually worship Allah. Then
how can that person say that they have faith, Salah is the action, which distinguishes and sets
apart the believer from the non believer.
		
00:31:17 --> 00:32:03
			The Salah is the means for the Muslim, to connect to his robe, to his robe, to his sustainer to his
maintainer to his protector, to the fulfiller of all his needs. It is the highest and most powerful
or means the most potent tool that a believer must Invoke for anything that he or she needs in life.
It is his jars of energy that gives him a special light and power to all through his days and in
this life, and it is the light in his grave. And it is deliverance in the ACA. Allah subhanho wa
Taala Jalla Jalla who ordered also lives on a solemn to rise and pray and draw energy for his work
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:25
			from Salah Allah subhanaw taala said yeah, you are Muslim Ito Camila illa kalila nice for who I
mean, who's been who karela de de la he Bharati lil Khurana Tati in sanuki la Catalans tequila in
Nana shiota laelia. shad, he shouldn't do what
		
00:32:28 --> 00:33:14
			the opening is of sort of the Muslim in the first five ad where I was around and I said oh, the one
wrapped in garments, stand up, wake up and stand up in Salah before tala for the whole night, except
for a small part illa kalila except for a little of the night, three quarters of the night Allah
subhanaw taala knows how much that is and recite the Quran in a beautiful way to repeat the Durst,
what you have been taught, repeated back to the teacher in this case, the teacher of Allah subhanho
wa Taala, the student is also the knight sallallahu Sallam and then Allah, Allah said, Rosa Salah,
that this is important because you are going to be given tomorrow meaning in the future, you are
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:15
			going to be given a very
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:38
			heavy task a very difficult task, a very important task. And for this task, you need her you need
strength, you need power, you need sustenance, and all of this is going to come to you from the
center. So Salah is the plugging in of the charging for charging the person that the person the soul
and the heart of the person. So this is what supplies me Sarah, Sarah was given that as a
		
00:33:39 --> 00:34:01
			as a tool to use for his work. And then Allah subhanaw taala the last of the ad which I decided,
Allah says yes we know that to get up in the night is difficult, it's not easy or he assured it is
very difficult to get up in this night and stand with Allah smarter, but it is a best thing to
discipline yourself and to understand the Columbia philosophy.
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:10
			My brother and sisters Salah is the number one important thing as far as Islam and Muslims are
concerned.
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:36
			We need to learn how to do it. We need to practice it they need to perfect it and we need to taste
the sweetness of it please understand and let me let me remind myself when you everything whether it
is Salah, whether it is anything else the switch sweetness comes when we learn it to a particular
level.
		
00:34:38 --> 00:35:00
			Right. Take exercise the the the pleasure of the exercise comes after you've been exercising
regularly for a time initially, muscles all pain it's an it's not a pleasure. It's a it's a painful
thing, but you continue with that because you know it is beneficial. Right? Exactly. Like take horse
riding take driving every single
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:01
			thing in life.
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:05
			defense to enjoy it,
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:37
			you have to do it long enough. And you have to do it in the correct way. If you do it long enough
and you do it in the correct way you will enjoy it, it will be a beautiful activity, you will love
it. If you don't do that, if you do it too little, if you do it sporadically, you do it today, don't
do it tomorrow, or the method is wrong, then it will not be enjoyable, it will be painful and you
will at some point, you will give up you will say this is beyond me. I'm sorry, I'm not gonna do
that. It's just too painful.
		
00:35:38 --> 00:36:18
			It's not it is not doing me any good. That is not because the thing is not good. It is because you
have not done it correctly the way that you should have done it right. So, just please, let us be
clear about this. Allah subhanaw taala gave us a tool to use, let us use it, that is learn how to
pray. And that is the way is the way of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam shall do Allah Allah
Allah I bear witness that there is no one worthy of pray of, of worship other than Allah. The this
is to say that I will pray only to Allah, how will I pray? That is a shadow now
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:46
			where I bear witness that Mohamed Salah, Salah Is there a soul is the final messenger and of Allah
subhana wa Tada. And the actual prayer itself. The method is my proof for shadow number hammer. So
the fact that I'm praying is evidence of Laila heilala. The way of praying is evidence of Muhammad
Rasul Allah, evidence of the fact that I believe in these two things.
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:59
			And that's the reason why if somebody simply says Lyla, I love amo sola, but does not pray in that
person has not fulfilled the condition of the evidence, and this person has.
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:07
			This person cannot say that I have faith, because there is no evidence, there is no proof of that.
		
00:37:08 --> 00:37:43
			And not going into the thick of this and so on and so forth. And you know, the purpose of saying
this is not for you to sit on judgment on somebody else, to say, does this person have faith that
that person has faith? It is for us to look at ourselves and say, Do I have faith? And not according
to this one or that one? Do I have faith according to Allah subhanaw taala standard, because the
only one who's going to judge us and who's the only one whose judgment matters is Allah subhana wa
Taala. Not anybody else. Anyone else can think whatever they want, they can have any opinion they
like they can like you, they can dislike you. They can think of you as a good person or a bad person
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:47
			makes no difference. What makes a difference is what Allah subhanaw taala things
		
00:37:49 --> 00:38:08
			and the fundamental of that, for us to ensure that Allah subhanaw taala in sha Allah will like us,
that Allah subhanaw taala will approve of us that Allah subhanho wa Taala inshallah will forgive us
is to ensure that we pray and we pray on time.
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:28
			Right, wherever you might be, Allah made this whole Earth a place of worship for us wherever you
might be. Make sure that you pray on time Don't delay your Salah, do not postpone it and please this
is very wrong concept people think while pray haha there is no kata for deliberately leaving some
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:47
			Kava is for a Salah which got left behind with without your effort in the matter without without
your conscious of being conscious of it. For example, you fell asleep at the time for Salah passed
okay there is another for this or you were in a place where it was completely impossible for you to
pray
		
00:38:50 --> 00:38:58
			whatever the condition might be, then there is hunger for this inshallah. But just like this and
people go to gay they go shopping they go here and there is oh I will pray
		
00:38:59 --> 00:38:59
			Allah
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:07
			did not use that Salah you left even if you pray Allah it doesn't it doesn't qualify for that.
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:35
			Please don't fall into this trap. Pray on time. And understand this is the this is the this is a
treasure. This is a great honor. You're not bringing as a burden you're praying because I want to
pray on time because I want what the Salah gives me and the Salah gives me connection with my rub
the Salah gives me gives me sustenance and energy and protection and and you know upliftment of my
heart spirit. That is why I want to pray and I will pray on time.
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:51
			ask Allah subhanaw taala to put beauty in your Salah, to put more in your Salah, to accept your
Salah to make it easy for you and make it a means of great sweetness and come forward and you know
		
00:39:53 --> 00:39:59
			something which protects you and something which which sustains your heart and shall was Allah Allah
animal Karim Allah, you will
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:00
			Siberia
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:04
			Salam Alaikum
