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

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
