00:04:20--> 00:04:23

My dear beloved respected rather than sisters.

00:04:24--> 00:04:26

I ask Allah azza wa jal

00:04:27--> 00:04:36

just like He gathered us here together as your monkey and I'll see you there Mussolini Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. I mean you're behind I mean,

00:04:37--> 00:04:40

what Allah he will lie he will lie.

00:04:43--> 00:04:47

If you look at your faces right now, I captured all the audience.

00:04:49--> 00:04:56

Because usually after an oath, there is something extremely important to be announced.

00:04:59--> 00:04:59

Forget

00:05:00--> 00:05:04

Lakshmi, Allah azza wa jal in the Quran

00:05:06--> 00:05:09

after 11 oath

00:05:12--> 00:05:13

he announced something.

00:05:15--> 00:05:25

So you can just imagine how important the message that Allah azza wa jal want me and you to know

00:05:28--> 00:05:29

what Shamsi who

00:05:30--> 00:05:43

will come at you either tell her when hurry either Gela will lately either Yahushua was Santa.

00:05:45--> 00:05:46

When, the when.

00:05:48--> 00:05:51

When I've seen when So,

00:05:52--> 00:05:55

for him or her food or water cooler

00:05:58--> 00:06:26

11 oath Allah subhanho wa Taala swarmed by the sun, the moon, the Earth, the sky, the night, the day and the soul and Disha Weibel Kasam after every person after every autumn the Quran, there is something called Joab Wilkerson, like I say when Allahu Allahu Allah and I tell you something, this is the Joab Why did I make this swearing? After all this 11 off? What did Allah tell us?

00:06:27--> 00:06:32

If Lucha men zurka worked harder, when the sow

00:06:36--> 00:06:37

successful

00:06:38--> 00:06:49

is the one who purify his soul, and a failure, the one who corrupts it, Allahu Akbar.

00:06:51--> 00:06:54

Successful is the one who make his soul pure.

00:06:55--> 00:06:56

And a loser

00:06:58--> 00:07:00

is the one who corrupts it.

00:07:02--> 00:07:04

What does purifying the soul mean?

00:07:05--> 00:07:07

purifying the soul

00:07:08--> 00:07:10

is to cleanse the heart

00:07:11--> 00:07:18

of vices and immoral traits, while beautifying it with good manners.

00:07:20--> 00:07:28

To purify the heart, from shake, from hypocrisy, from arrogance, from malice from hate

00:07:33--> 00:07:42

from following the desires and beautifying it with generosity, love, care, kindness,

00:07:44--> 00:07:45

forgiveness,

00:07:46--> 00:07:51

favoring others over yourself, this is purifying the soul.

00:07:53--> 00:08:11

How to purify the soul, the closer we are to the source of purity, the higher the possibility of having a pure soul. The closer we are to Allah, the higher the possibility of having

00:08:13--> 00:08:39

a pure soul. And how can we close to get close to Allah by increasing the acts of worship? As we all know the formula the more acts of worship you do, the closer you are to Allah and the more sins you do the further you are from Allah as the origin and one of the most acts that purifies our soul. Is the salah.

00:08:41--> 00:09:06

And Allah subhanho wa Taala made a strong link between salaat and purifying the soul when he has the word gel said called the earth Lucha Manta Zakah was that Kira smartbee fasula successful is the one who purify his soul how we are Allah by remembering Allah through shallot.

00:09:07--> 00:09:08

So the salaat

00:09:09--> 00:09:31

is one of the main tools to purify the soul and the soul of Allah so Allah Allah Azza wa sallam that he doesn't Bukhari and Muslim, he said, asking the Sahaba This is one of the methods that are soulless, Arsalan teaches us. He said, What if there is a river running by your door and you bathe in it five times a day?

00:09:33--> 00:09:36

Will there any dirt be left on your body?

00:09:37--> 00:09:42

They said you had a soul Allah, absolutely not. We will be super clean.

00:09:43--> 00:09:52

He said similarly, the five daily prayers purify you from sins. Allahu Akbar.

00:09:54--> 00:09:56

Now, lend me your heart.

00:09:57--> 00:09:58

And Lend me your ears.

00:10:00--> 00:10:01

How much

00:10:02--> 00:10:04

your Salah

00:10:05--> 00:10:23

will play a role in purifying you depends on how much effort you exerted to purify the salaat from laziness, distraction, half heartedness and delay

00:10:25--> 00:10:26

its relative

00:10:29--> 00:10:39

how much the salah transforms our life and the hereafter depends on how much we invested in transforming our salah.

00:10:43--> 00:10:50

How much the salah gives us depends on how much we give the salah.

00:10:53--> 00:10:54

For example,

00:10:55--> 00:11:01

Allah azza wa jal said in the Quran, in salata, 10 Ha,

00:11:02--> 00:11:04

Anil fascia II will mongkol

00:11:05--> 00:11:06

Samad

00:11:08--> 00:11:09

actively

00:11:10--> 00:11:15

prevents from own from immorality and major sins.

00:11:17--> 00:11:18

Salat

00:11:19--> 00:11:32

definitely will prevent you from immorality, fascia and major sins. We all know that we all do minor sins

00:11:33--> 00:11:36

for you, I pray

00:11:37--> 00:11:42

and I still deal with riba and gamble and do all these things.

00:11:44--> 00:11:50

So yes, there are only two options, either that is a lie,

00:11:51--> 00:12:00

which is not an option, or the salah to we are performing. It's not qualified to transform.

00:12:02--> 00:12:03

And that is the only option.

00:12:04--> 00:12:30

Allah azza wa jal woman has documented Allah Hadith women us document Allah He Akela there's none more trustworthy and truthful than Allah azza wa jal so if Allah said that the salah to prevents from immorality, watching haram stuff cheating on your spouse, oh that immorality and he added to it Moon cutter which gathers

00:12:32--> 00:12:46

and includes all major sins. That means that condition is not there something is wrong with my salad and nothing at all is wrong with that Yeah, with the verse

00:12:51--> 00:12:53

the relationship between us

00:12:54--> 00:12:55

and Salaat

00:12:56--> 00:13:02

is identical to the relationship of our phone with the charger

00:13:08--> 00:13:11

if the phone is worth $10,000

00:13:14--> 00:13:15

But it's dead

00:13:17--> 00:13:18

it's useless.

00:13:20--> 00:13:24

Similarly, you have three, four or five PhDs

00:13:26--> 00:13:34

and you have millions of dollars and you have no connection with your creation. You have lost the dunya and akhira.

00:13:38--> 00:13:39

My brothers and sisters

00:13:41--> 00:13:42

oh my god Allahu Anh

00:13:45--> 00:13:46

on his deathbed

00:13:50--> 00:13:58

as we all know the story he was stabbed while He was praying and he fell unconscious and the Sahaba said how can we wake him up? He said one of the Sahaba said mentioned Salaat

00:14:00--> 00:14:02

so they said in front of him

00:14:03--> 00:14:08

yeah mera means time for Salah they just said that we get up and he said

00:14:09--> 00:14:14

let's have a fill Islam. Lehmann Taraka Salat

00:14:16--> 00:14:17

la have

00:14:19--> 00:14:21

his Islam is not complete.

00:14:22--> 00:14:29

Or another translation there is no Islam. For a person who have left the salon

00:14:34--> 00:14:36

you know, sometimes I wonder

00:14:38--> 00:14:40

and this is my question.

00:14:41--> 00:14:43

For anyone who does not pray

00:14:45--> 00:14:48

what do you do when you are going through hardship?

00:14:51--> 00:14:53

When you're going through financial difficulty

00:14:54--> 00:14:55

when you go

00:14:57--> 00:14:59

when you have problems with your spouse

00:15:00--> 00:15:04

We have problem with your children. When you feeling lonely, depressed, stressed.

00:15:08--> 00:15:10

Sick, what do you do? What do you go Oh?

00:15:13--> 00:15:18

Allah azza wa jal he said iStan ino be Sabri was salah.

00:15:19--> 00:15:31

Allah told us, when we are going through anything, there are two things to do. Seek help with patience and Rousselot.

00:15:34--> 00:15:36

When I'm going through any kind of hardship,

00:15:37--> 00:15:42

the first thing I should do your your Allah after to raka

00:15:43--> 00:15:53

Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, we were told, Anytime he's going through any kind of difficulty, he rushed to Salah.

00:15:58--> 00:16:00

My brothers and sisters,

00:16:02--> 00:16:03

and this is why I

00:16:04--> 00:16:08

thought about this today specifically, because many of the youth

00:16:10--> 00:16:11

come to me and say

00:16:14--> 00:16:15

should

00:16:16--> 00:16:16

I pray?

00:16:18--> 00:16:19

But I don't feel anything.

00:16:22--> 00:16:25

I don't feel anything while I'm praying.

00:16:28--> 00:16:29

That's why

00:16:30--> 00:16:31

I stopped.

00:16:34--> 00:16:38

The question for anyone who said the statement

00:16:40--> 00:16:42

how much effort

00:16:44--> 00:16:49

did you put in order to enjoy your salad? How much effort

00:16:51--> 00:16:52

did you invest?

00:16:54--> 00:16:56

To enjoy that? Salaat

00:16:58--> 00:17:01

Do you understand the meaning of the Fatiha

00:17:03--> 00:17:10

Do you ponder upon the meaning of the best surah in the Quran, while you are in solid?

00:17:12--> 00:17:15

Do you know what the Subhan Allah mean?

00:17:16--> 00:17:28

Do you know what the Subhana by itself mean? Because we repeat it Subhan Allah them and Subhana Allah, what the Subhana mean, you've been praying for 30 years. Do you know what Subhana mean?

00:17:29--> 00:17:39

The surah is that you recite after Surah Al Fatiha just as soon as you recite Yama, the ones you have memorized? Do you know their meaning?

00:17:40--> 00:17:53

How much time did you invest in understanding the meaning of just the sewers that you recite? We all know Surah Al falak? How many of us know what does ask you can either walk up mean?

00:17:55--> 00:18:01

Do you know if I give you the permission to raise your hand it will be either one hand or two hands.

00:18:02--> 00:18:26

And I've been reciting it for so long. And I'm a doctor. I'm a lawyer. I'm an engineer and I'm an IT I spent years to get a dunya degree and I did not have five minutes to look at the Tafseer and the understanding of the surah I'm reciting in front of my creator and I wonder why am I not enjoying this Allah?

00:18:30--> 00:18:58

Ilaha illa Allah 30 $40,000 A year tuition and $500 to understand the heartbeat, check, can you have a discount? No time, I have no time. There's no time. I have 10 years, nine years, six years, five years to go to college and get a degree which is amazing. We should all be educated. But what happened? Why cannot be that be combined with knowing my gain

00:18:59--> 00:19:02

with knowing what will save me on the day of judgment

00:19:03--> 00:19:20

and make me enjoy something that I'm obliged to do five times a day. Salah is not is not is not an option. It's not an option. Muslim do not pray they do not go together.

00:19:27--> 00:19:38

Do you know that Salat is the only obligation that was given straight from Allah to Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam during the trip of the asstra and the Mirage.

00:19:42--> 00:19:45

It was not through your dream like the rest of the obligations.

00:19:47--> 00:19:48

Do we know?

00:19:49--> 00:19:59

That's a lot is the first thing I will be questioned about on the Day of Judgment. The first thing I'm standing in line for the question

00:20:00--> 00:20:16

In the first question, how's your salad? How's your salad? Not Did you pray or not? That's not a question. This is not a question now become a question. But if you ask the Sahaba and the Debbie, Debbie Debbie, this is not a question.

00:20:20--> 00:20:32

The Sahaba used to say listen to this Subhanallah they used to say, if we missed somebody in Fraser, in Jamaica, in congregation, we used to say maybe his own ethic,

00:20:33--> 00:20:35

not pray or not pray

00:20:40--> 00:20:41

this is something new.

00:20:43--> 00:20:55

How's your salah is the first question are salatu salam said if it's good, everything will follow the three yam the fasting, there's a cat that has everything will follow and if it's not good,

00:20:57--> 00:20:58

everything will follow.

00:21:00--> 00:21:06

So if you're finding it very difficult to commit to Salah, then realize

00:21:07--> 00:21:08

it's not the salah

00:21:10--> 00:21:11

that you have an issue with

00:21:13--> 00:21:20

it is your version of Salah Kulu Cody has stuck for life has stuck in the hole of

00:21:30--> 00:21:33

salatu salam ala mon learn via Budda.

00:21:35--> 00:21:41

So we just don't want to give the problem and without giving the solution. Some

00:21:44--> 00:21:45

very practical tips

00:21:48--> 00:21:52

that we can try to apply to improve our Salat and eventually purify our soul.

00:21:53--> 00:22:29

We always hear that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He used to say additional behavior Bilal or Bilal make the karma so he can feel at ease. And we always hear the stories of the Sahaba during Salaat. One of the Sahaba was praying his son and in his ruku a bear a bird landed on his back thinking his statue because it took so long in his record and another Sahabi said please when you want to imitate my leg, do it during Salah because I'm not here. There was no anesthesia at that time. When you hear these stories you say Are you serious? When I

00:22:30--> 00:22:38

said that salad in salad? Tara Munna fee Hello, who was Shara? Buena thi had demore

00:22:39--> 00:22:52

What did these words come from? Our food in the salad is who sure is to concentrate and our drink is this tears that are falling? This is Chinese to us. This is like what are you talking about? We never felt that.

00:22:56--> 00:22:58

So what should we do in order

00:22:59--> 00:23:08

to improve our salad? Number one and the most important thing is to recognize and know the importance of Salatin our deen is one of the pillars

00:23:10--> 00:23:11

if you're fasting

00:23:12--> 00:23:22

fast if you're if you're sick, fasting will drop. If you're poor, the cat will drop if you're poor and sick hush will drop but if you're poor, sick, rich, whatever you are,

00:23:24--> 00:23:25

solid will never drop.

00:23:26--> 00:23:29

Know how important is solid. Second,

00:23:30--> 00:23:43

get rid of all the distractions around you when you are performing the salaat the phone is on vibrating and blinking and, and ringing. How you expect and the messages are going and

00:23:44--> 00:23:51

get rid of all the distractions and the TV is playing. Get rid of all the distractions before you say Allahu Akbar.

00:23:54--> 00:23:54

Try

00:23:55--> 00:24:15

to understand just the Fatiha and the sutras that you recite not the whole Quran if you can the whole Quran Allahu Akbar. But at least the sewers we recite after the Fatiha Paul who Allah developing nurse Elijah I will also the sooner I recite constantly understand what they mean.

00:24:18--> 00:24:26

I will not dare to talk to my boss with something I don't know what I'm saying. How dare I speak to my Creator with something I don't know what it means.

00:24:30--> 00:24:31

Fourth,

00:24:32--> 00:24:33

slow

00:24:35--> 00:24:35

down.

00:24:36--> 00:24:38

Slow down. Yeah.

00:24:39--> 00:24:46

Look at the difference. It's a parabola, parabola, parabola. What kind of dispute is this?

00:24:47--> 00:24:53

You are glorifying Allah. You are praising Allah. What kind of praises this

00:24:54--> 00:24:59

is part of the last part. Where are you going for a united headworn Where are you going?

00:25:01--> 00:25:08

Whatever you worry you're going to miss or you're going to lose is in the hands of the one before you

00:25:11--> 00:25:13

slow down. So

00:25:14--> 00:25:15

be a loving him.

00:25:16--> 00:25:19

Not a bill, enjoy it.

00:25:21--> 00:25:36

Stop at every area of the fatty highlight Kazumasa and sell them to this and enjoy the response from Allah. Allah respond after every area of the Fatiha. The only Surah that Allah responds after every area

00:25:41--> 00:25:42

pray

00:25:44--> 00:25:46

as if Allah is watching you

00:25:49--> 00:25:50

pray

00:25:51--> 00:26:04

as if Allah is watching me after this a lot, you're gonna get a great and that grade will determine your future. How would that prayer be? Roku check sujood check.

00:26:05--> 00:26:15

I will. If my father is watching me or if the Imam is watching me, my salad will change which is not supposed to. But what if I imagine? I think that Allah is watching me.

00:26:18--> 00:26:19

And finally

00:26:21--> 00:26:24

pray as if it's your last prayer.

00:26:26--> 00:26:35

This is it. After this a lot. The hearse is outside taking me to the graveyard. So is it. This is my last time saying

00:26:36--> 00:26:53

to dilla This is my last time saying Rob bene wala Cal Hamed? How would that salad be knowing that it is my last salad? And could it be our last a lot? Absolutely.
