			hamdulillah Alameen wa salatu salam ala Sayidina Muhammad Ali, he was heavy Jemaine obado Salam
alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh Welcome to our sixth session in the series wrote the Ramadan
series, we titled The path, which is a commentary on a beautiful book by an imam even more damning
this year hammer Allah who had his book, which is an abridgment of men agile classes in Mata salamin
head, of course,
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			we are dealing with the
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:58
			first quarter or section of the book, which is on worship.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:10
			And he started speaking about knowledge. And then he started speaking here about Behala purification
and its secrets and Salah and relevant relevant matters.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:22
			So, last session we were dealing with, he was dealing with the concept of purity, and he was
emphasizing purity of the heart.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			And that it's a higher goal, the ultimate goal.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:51
			And he criticized or called out people who emphasize physical purity and go to extremes with it,
while ignoring completely overlooking the inner purity of our heart and the inner dimension. So we
reached a point here, where he says when that is edited for the Latifa, you know, as to removing
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:56
			waste, or impurities, then it's two types.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:25
			And no one will succumb to that calorie estimate. In other words, if you were done face to habit,
and we've all been obviously, we're told God, what did he need, isn't it a shot, okay, that he can
manage to fill only when am female was refused to do is enter to. So the first type, these are debts
normal, you know, accumulation of dirt, and maybe wax, he says that is sometimes you know,
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:33
			is accumulates on the head in the hair, it could be dirt could be oil.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:48
			So it's, it's recommended that you actually remove it by washing. And by combing. And by using oils
in different materials in order to remove that.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			And also,
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:59
			you know, the kind of wax and substances that might accumulate or might be
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:07
			produced in the ear, or by the nose, all of these debts, they should be removed.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:14
			We used to have Bucha So while my mother only my mother truly is Ella Tina, and as nanny Woodley
Sani miracle,
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:38
			okay, rally Casa full Balaji me we're done and let the Estemirova Jimmy, then garage Hill out of a
robotic Park, where they can't use eel who Allison Olson is saying It's also recommended to use the
miswak to brush your teeth. And to rinse your mouth to remove whatever, like, you know, that
whatever, like
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:51
			stuff starts accumulating on your tongue on your teeth, on your gum, probably. And also cleaning and
rubbing, you know, the
		
00:03:54 --> 00:04:41
			areas where you skin folds, like where there are, for example, the knuckles here, or bigger ones,
maybe under the arm and armpit. Or some people who are a little bit overweight, you'll find there
are areas in the body where the skin folds in and, you know, dirt, sweat, etcetera tends to
accumulate. So he's saying these should be removed should be washed. Especially you know, this sweat
when it mixes as well with dust etc. And he says this is done by washing or rinsing. Whatever said
with the whole himanta In now available, Phil is and he says there's nothing wrong with entering
these public or Turkish paths, sorry, Turkish Turkish baths.
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:54
			Which, again, they were very they were known and they're known in the West more like to a Turkish
bath. But they were just called him mom and her mom at that time. These are these public baths
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			where again, hot water is available. So
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			facilities or facility.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:50
			Because it's actually he says, it's there's nothing wrong with, you know, using these public baths
because they're actually the more helpful in removing, you know, the dirt and purifying the body.
And he says some of the companions of the Prophet SAW, so let me use these public baths. He's
saying, but when you enter these places, it's very important to be cautious and to make sure that
your our does not get exposed, and it's not touched by another person. And he's saying, also, when
you enter these public baths again, there is hot water there, you should take a reminder, they
should remind you of the heat of the Hellfire. So when a leader he really he and his other Calabi
		
00:05:50 --> 00:06:33
			Herati had one now he's just saying, take a lesson from every, every incident in your life, every
situation taken lesson. So your attention is always your thought is always gravitating to the
hereafter, any kind of even remote reminder about something in the hereafter. It awakens that aspect
of the hereafter in your consciousness. So he's saying would you enter there just because there is
hot water there there is heat there is steam. That should remind you of the heat of the of the
health hellfire. For in difficult meaning that has to do with equalization in order duniya faith
corabi Moral actual, he's saying because the awareness, the consciousness, the thought process of a
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			believer.
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:39
			Whatever it falls on in this dunya
		
00:06:40 --> 00:07:04
			it should remind him of matters of the hereafter. Why? Because again, he gravitates to the
hereafter, it's his main concern, the NL oliebollen mini emerald ash borer, because what dominates
the consciousness the experience of a believer is the issue of the Aquila the next life. What could
Luna in younger who will be Murphy, and every sort of container
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:43
			is going to bring out what's in it. So if what's in you is connection to the Afghan are concerned
about the alpha. So whatever happens around remote is going to bring about you know, what's within
us what? So what you remember, which you to think of in any situation is not only a function of your
immediate environment, but the immediate environment interacts with what's in you to produce your
experience. That's a profound point, by the way, like that's really a he puts in a very simple way
but it's so profound, so deep, so insightful
		
00:07:44 --> 00:08:05
			that you're not just a product of external reminders because external reminders don't just act on
you what they do they interact with what is alive in you. And that's what you know, jumps up to your
to your inner screen to the screen of your mind towards you thinking about
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:27
			and I totally would have definitely learned that in my Malton bazaars when a German woman never had
econ or a little business or younger or ill Furoshiki I will fall she yet she is a middle teammates
will hurt your Korean ball. Ilana stick it up when the job of Fidel will be no younger Elon is
saying Don't you see that if
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:30
			like
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:50
			a fabric person like a fabric merchant, someone who works with fabric with cloth pieces. bazaars is
someone who sells cloth and sometimes Yeah, someone who sells cloth and carpenter and a builder.
		
00:08:51 --> 00:09:00
			And a weaver, someone who makes fabric not this one who sells fabric but the one who makes the
fabric manufactures the fabric.
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:52
			So he says you would see the merchant who sells fabric and cloth or clothes, he looks at the
furniture. He looks at the furniture and the pieces of cloth. And he's assessing the value whether
they're good quality, poor quality, etc. Why? Because that's what his life is about. That's his
craft. That's what he's thinking about most of the time. So that's what it is attention goes in that
house. Whereas the the weaver the one who makes the clothes makes the fabric or maybe probably hear
how he's referring to probably a tailor. He says a tailor is going to look at people's clothes, what
they're wearing, you know what type of clothing what type of tailoring is behind it etcetera. Will
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:59
			style whatever when when the job is done and the carpenter is going to look at the see
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:15
			Because ceilings were made of wood, like the bridges, the Joyce's, etc and all of that. So that's
what he looks at, that's where he gravitates to well, but now, ill health and the the builder is
looking at the walls and how they are constructed.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:25
			So he's checking the construction, okay, they either don't matter won't matter, and then I'll do
metal cover and he's saying such as the believer when he sees darkness.
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:49
			If he remembers the darkness of the grave, well, either somebody has assaulted how you enter the
Coronavirus or stolen fee if he knows if he hears a sudden, strong sound that reminds them of the
blowing of the horn to begin the day of judgment. And if he's without an amen to that color, now EMA
agenda and if he sees
		
00:10:51 --> 00:11:14
			a life of luxury or any kind of extravagance and easy life, this reminds him of the beauty of life
in Jana. We're in Durban the corona, if he sees any kind of painful thing, this reminds him of the
Hellfire where you crumble the whole hammer. So basically, what he's saying again, here is a
beautiful thing is that
		
00:11:16 --> 00:12:01
			he's just talking about imagine he's talking about cleaning oneself. And he was just mentioning that
it's okay to use these public baths and benefit from them as long as you observe certain etiquettes
and guidelines. But he's also emphasizing the share of your heart here, that it should be a reminder
should always everything should be a reminder that reminds you of Allah and of the airflow. When you
crawl the huddle, Hannah may vary by mineral gurobi ouabain and Aisha NFN walked into shell shell
shell to anything it's disliked that you enter, it's not recommended that you enter these public
public bath just before sunset, or between Maghrib and Isha. Just because this is the time when
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:09
			shell clean, you know, spread around. And we know this from a Hadith from the prophets of Allah
Salam that this is the time
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			where she up in and the jinn start spreading
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:27
			around Maghrib time and no Athenian is eligible for that. So he mentioned the first type of removing
this physical dirt wax, purifying the body in that sense by removing these things.
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:44
			Is mentioning a second type here and notice anyone is eligible for that, at that 1/200. The second
type of removing stuff or cleaning the body from stuff is trimming here saying for example, trimming
your mustache,
		
00:12:45 --> 00:13:12
			removing the or pulling the under arm or the armpit hair. Help Alana shaving the pure pubic hair
person have offered trimming in your nail clipping your nails where you could own it for Shelby and
it's disliked to pull out gray hair. We used to have a barber when it's encouraged that you actually
color your hair dye your hair
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:22
			guava theme or article Kahala T FuelBand Molly cat William Juliet insalata saying the other types so
he talked spoke about
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:54
			from last time we learned he identified four levels of purification. The very basic one is physical
purification and that's what he spoke about. But then then there are higher levels three levels of
purification he said these will be dealt with in another section of the book which talks about you
know the things that destroy humans and things that save them in sha Montana. Then he moves on to
another chapter in this section which is for salon fee for La La sala
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:05
			so this is a a chapter on the merits of the prayer
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:17
			when masala Tofana in Aberdeen, we're a world war two pilot
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:30
			saying as to the press Hello, it is the foundation, the pillar of the Dean religion and a water
bottle that is the most beautiful
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:38
			it's the most beautiful and apparent aspect of of the
		
00:14:40 --> 00:15:00
			of worship. So it's the most apparent authorize usually whatever is referred, you know the horse
when it has it's the hair right at the front of the head of the horse. This is called the walker.
Okay, because it's it's the first thing you see about about the horse it's quite it's representative
it tells it gives an image and gives an impression
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:22
			Sure. So this is how the prayer is when it comes to acts of worship. What are the one of the few
following the Sonata Barranca theological misura woman as a woman, woman, I'm an escena. I'm an
absentee owner for short, is saying there are many narrations and statements about the merits of
Salah famous iterations. And
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:31
			among the most beautiful of its etiquettes is who should and crucial is humility. Who show is
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:36
			is inner calm and peace centeredness
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:40
			connection to Allah that
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:43
			demonstrates itself
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			on the physical dimension as
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:51
			stillness, quality peace
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:57
			and it's a pleasant there's a pleasant kind of
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:00
			calm
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:30
			that's what for sure it is. So it's in the heart the root of it. The essence of it is in the heart
but it has reflections. What do we know it's mad at me I found the Allahu Anhu and in nebi Salah
when you send them out now but Mammon Emery in the hablo salatu Oktoberfest you know, how sure I
will go in the cannot get fell it in the malerkotla Hermina denote melamine it can be about 10
whether he can Dara Kula who this is collected by Iman Muslim from Kathmandu and finally Allah that
Allah is messengers not Salam said
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:47
			if a man when the time of a, an obligatory, a written obligatory prayer comes about, so this person
performs will do well for it. And the person prays it with cultural humility and
		
00:16:48 --> 00:17:00
			performs it well physically. So perhaps I mentioned Rocco here he performs glucose Well, meaning all
of the physical aspects of it as well are done properly. So all the levels of it,
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:43
			it becomes an expiation and it atones for his sins all of the previous or past sins as long as he
does not commit a major sin and this is for good like forever this sins are forgiven it's not like
they're going to come back it's not that like they're contingent. No that's going to do it will wipe
the sense once and for all as long as again, major sins are are avoided. What if you had eaten Avon
and NWSL salami now called masala Katene Illa you're ready to feed him and if so, what if your
Allahu Mata dama mean then be
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:50
			okay and this authentic inauthentic it again from mathematical funnel, the Allahu anhu, that the
messenger is almost
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:54
			I believe it's from Earth man, I believe so.
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:09
			The messengers, Salam said, Whoever prays to Raka and is not engaging in a dialogue during these two
loci so completely present in these prayers.
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:22
			Then his past sins or her past sins will be forgiven. Pretty much same meaning but here it's any
tool icon. What can I do liveness debatably Allah Who and Homer
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:27
			either committed somatic Anna who don't mean short.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:39
			I'm the Lagna abbess Abdullah is about all the Allahu Anoma, the great companion. If he stood up in
Salah he was he was like, a pillar, he was like
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:50
			a tree trunk. That's it like so still that he would not move. What can I used to do for 10 00 I love
every letter Sabu, illegible
		
00:18:51 --> 00:19:03
			and even birds used to land when he made to do with birds used to land on his back. Due to his
stillness, it seems the birds thought that he was just a piece of wood
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:17
			was Yeoman Phil Hijri soldier had your own hedgerow cadet in further habit, we will be here for
manufacturing. And one day he prayed in a hedger. hedger is this
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:29
			bow shape area right next to the cabin, which is already naturally part of the cabin. And it's you
can pray in it inside it. She was praying there and
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:38
			a huge like shot stone from a catapult was
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:46
			passed by him and grabbed part of his ripped his is his garment his hope.
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:59
			And that did not even shake him or take his attention. You might ask you know in the cabinet and
Macau What about Qatar Paul shot what's going on? That's when Hijjah
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:15
			In a set of seats around the cabinet around the vessel, how long when when Abdullah Ignis Dubai was
actually there and then there was a whole issue about loads of aid, being declared Khalifa in Mecca
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:20
			during the beginning of the Obama years period and then
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:42
			a head judge went and set a siege around him. He came he broke into Makassar to siege around al
Qaeda and eventually captured Abdullah admits about Alonso took shelter in the in the Masjid Al
haram. So that was the incident there.
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:53
			Were called Motobu Mahan Morrow a to Muslim Abdullah Hassan MultiFit and V Salatin Otto
		
00:20:55 --> 00:21:10
			well if I didn't have them, Aetna here two minute MST, DFFs sotd had the they had that year. We're
in now levelness Did you recently FML tablets. So this is my mobile Mahan a great scholar. He was
like one of the teachers of an Imam Malik. He said,
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:36
			I saw Muslim have no ASR. I never saw Muslim Assad looking around in his Salah he was so in it. And
one day, part of the masjid collapsed like the ceiling collapsed. He was in the masjid. People
rushed from the market because of the noise and the incident etcetera. He was in another side of the
message which is essentially that time were not so big like they're small.
		
00:21:37 --> 00:22:20
			He did not even distraction from his salah. He never even noticed that part of the masjid collapsed.
What can I do at that different Masjid? It remains in second over either Camila salata more of a
hippo and his family's household every time he entered the house, they would remain silent, out of
respect, and they don't want to disturb him. But if he entered into salah they would start talking
and chatting and laughing. Why? Because they knew that he would not even notice he was so absorbed
in his Salah that he was completely oblivious to his surroundings. It's that level of absorption.
What can I do when it hasn't only Allahu Allah Almighty that our boss for one
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:34
			particular whom I had and let the title candle Waldo call it a federal Boehner? The men who read one
ha comb. This is Ali Evelyn Hesson, the grandson of aluminum Butalbital De La Hoya Jermaine.
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:42
			When whenever he was about whenever he was making Well, no, he would go pale. So
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:57
			he was asked what's what's this you know? What is that state you go in when you make a law? He says,
Don't you don't you know, don't you realize who am going to stand in front of whose presence I'm
going to stand in?
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:02
			Subhanallah there's just it makes us feel
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:27
			it uh, we're not you know, we're not we're not we're not praying as they used to pray last time.
While I'm under a celestial cannon would you bet in Missoula Anna whoo hoo, I need you to wear the
floss. Well, for sure. Well, hold on can be and he said no, that the Salah prayer, it has pillars
and it has obligations that should be done and it has soon
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:30
			again recommendations.
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:38
			What will her and Nia and its spirit is the intention and the sincerity in it and the horseshoe.
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:53
			This humility tranquility and peace and also the presence of the heart this full presence that's the
spirit of Salah for inner salata touched me earlier of caring woman adjutant
		
00:23:54 --> 00:24:10
			one that I don't have all the layers so don't carry well manager because Salah contains you know
remembrance, you're doing remembrance you making dua, you're reciting things and you're doing
actions, you moving from one stance to the other
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:15
			and without the presence of the heart.
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:26
			And the point behind these remembrances and these and these kind of, of actions is not achieved
because they are meant
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:55
			essentially for the presence of the heart for what's going on the experience in the heart. The
analog got it LM Europe, MF a Bermuda, Canada Manzella Tina how they am saying because speech when
you say something, if it's not a genuine expression of what is in your inside of you, what is in
your heart, in your inner dementia, then it's more like hallucination.
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:59
			What can I collect from them and also the action
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:24
			To the point behind them, it has to be the presence of the heart. Without that without that spirit,
the actions here he's saying the actions are empty, the energy that can show the middle of a hidden
woman according to a salute a doula tell him, what am I a clinical boy Hold on, let me actually
matured, he saying because the point and the purpose behind standing up in work in worship
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:48
			is actually to be in the service of Allah to be in the state of obedience to Allah and his humility
before Allah and the point and the purpose behind the record. And sujood is this kind of humility
before Allah glorification of his magnificence. And if the heart is not present, while performing
these, these acts,
		
00:25:49 --> 00:26:13
			then the purpose has not been fulfilled. The purpose behind these actions and these words is not
been fulfilled. For England failure mythology and lawsuit Heba. Salatin Matty Belavia is saying
because the action is performed, without the purpose of it in the first place, then it remains as an
empty image that has no value
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:41
			by Allah to Allah Linien Allah Allahu Allah, Allah the mount of our lucky Ananda who took one in
consorted Hajj, verse number 37, that reaches Allah when it comes to the slaughter the Hadith, the
sacrifice that you make is not the flesh, it's not the meat. And it's not the blood that was spilled
from these animals. But what reaches Allah is the Toccoa state of Taqwa that's in you.
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:56
			Well, not so do another one Sara il Allah subhanho wa taala. Who will was for Lady Stoller LLP
Hector Hammond. adilyn identitarian a woman Marc Luber is saying the point here Well, the point
we're trying to make is that we're really reaches Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:29
			is the state that dominates the heart, which should eventually lead to the performance of these
actions that are required of you. So that's the process is that there's a state in the heart that is
meant was supposed to be acquired and experienced and achieved, which gives rise to the action it
drives the actions. That's the point this is how it should be.
		
00:27:33 --> 00:28:01
			Labeled demonstrable a call before salah, so there is no escape, it's indispensable to have the
presence full presence of the heart in the Salah. Well, I can somehow shut it off enough let him
throw. But Allah subhanaw taala forgives, I can instant of distraction of losing your focus fine if
it happens, occasionally, but it's not like it should not be easy. This should not be like the
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:19
			dominant state where you're just distracted most of the time. And then the exception is that your
heart is present. So Allah so distraction or not having this spirit of Salah and the state of the
heart should be an anomaly like a rare occurrence.
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:25
			The end has to be for a while here and say we'll talk more about the
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:52
			because if presence of the heart is achieved at the beginning, then it sort of covers the rest of
it. So if distraction pops up during this Allah as an interruption, but then obviously you go back
to the focus and to the presence of the heart. That's fine. That's fine, but it's not like you're
into your prayer in a state of distraction in the first place. That's like, again, he's just like
		
00:28:53 --> 00:29:03
			he's saying he's not making a statement about this, but it's obvious it's obvious from what he's
saying. Is that this is inconceivable does this shouldn't be the case?
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:28
			Well, man, let it simmer we have here to seletti Cathedral and the meanings that complete and
enhance the life of your salon. The spirit of your salon are many. So he started he's going to

00:29:46 --> 00:29:47
			Mahlab is from the who
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:59
			was Saba Modelica him okay? And that means that the heart should be emptied should be disengaged
from anything other than what anything other than its present in
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:12
			engagement which is the salaat it should be freed from everything except what it's doing now Salah
so your mind should be empty of everything else
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:15
			whatever with Alec under him
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:19
			and the reason behind this is you have
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:34
			an aspiration you have Allah as your ultimate goal that's the point. That's and him and him is the
zeal it's the inspiration it's the drive that comes from you knowing what you want
		
00:30:35 --> 00:31:17
			no matter a hammock or a mall Hydra, bookable water is saying because if something is important to
you, then your heart will be present there if something is really interests you then your heart is

further ADA jelly while he in law school for him meticulous Allah so there's no remedy for
distraction except to make Salah you know, a matter an important matter for yourself. So, and that's
a realization you arrive at it's like it's not like you said Ocelot is important and happens no,
this is work. This is in a way, you need to figure out you need to arrive at a personal conclusion,
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:24
			a realization that Salah is important to you is of paramount importance
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:40
			whatsoever for him, Matthew will be has to be over to the man he will ask your waiter for dunya and
this zeal this attraction this absorption
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:46
			grows stronger and weaker
		
00:31:48 --> 00:32:09
			in proportion to the level of Eman the strength of your iman in the actual and the disregard for
this dunya understanding the low value of this worldly life. So if you ask the question, how do I
realize the importance of Salah that it becomes really a topic of interest to me it like I see the
value in it.
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:11
			It's
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:16
			it's your Eman. It's your faith
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:18
			in the afterlife
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:32
			and your understanding of the reality of this life for Matala Atia callback reliable for Salah
feminineness Ababa, hula full Eman fish to eight feet acquittee. So he's saying if you notice that
your heart is not present in your Salah.
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:43
			Okay, he's putting it squarely no joke. There is no like he's not sugarcoating it. Fathom and
there's a whole lot for him. And the reason for this is we Amen.
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:45
			So
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:47
			seek to strengthen it.
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:55
			Knock on it. That's so straightforward. Someone says how do I strengthen my Amen.
		
00:32:56 --> 00:33:21
			acts of worship, specifically difficult reflection, contemplation of the Quran. Many people don't
want to slow down they want to keep doing what they're doing in their life. They want to keep
chasing whatever they cheesing and they want to do just something a little on the side thinking oh,
that's going to increase my mind I'm going to just pray a couple of rock I'm just going to read a
few pages of the Quran and that shouldn't just do the magic. No
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:28
			no, if that's not your priority, that does not increase your iman
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:33
			Okay, the second meaning he's talking about here
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:41
			at TIFF, a holy man with Amanda Thani at tougher harmony managed calamp I know Amman Rolla I have
already be
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:53
			so the second meaning here that helps you know revive the salah, give it spirit is seeking to
understand the meaning of the words.
		
00:33:55 --> 00:34:10
			Because it is a step beyond the presence of the heart, the analog, the mechanical beholder, and I
love doing an Manna for him very self with the Iraqi be deaf el Hawa Trisha, Rita, are the
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:20
			same because perhaps the heart is present and it's focusing on the words, but not the meanings.
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:22
			So, the presence of the heart
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:34
			is present with the words but should also be present with the meanings of these words. So you can
call incorporate not only your heart but your mind here your comprehension understanding
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:39
			for yourself within a darkened manner, so
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:46
			you should occupy your mind with trying to understand
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:57
			the meanings of these words like you're reciting Quran are you making decreasing Subhanallah below
in Subhanallah bill and what does that mean? So may Allah or even Hamidah
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:05
			So, you occupy your mind with trying to understand or seeking these meanings
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:10
			by pushing, distract distracting thoughts
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:51
			and any and their sources distractions and their sources, you can see what the sources are. For
individual data Lambton, kata Lambton, sort of a karate run, he's saying because the sources of the
sources are not dealt with the roots of these distractions are not dealt with, then the distractions
and the passing thoughts are not going to disappear. So don't engage with the thoughts trying to
push them but deal with their roots with their origins. Will my wife do him our Hilton Why am I so
wholesome, I will bustle in about an hour he shouldn't come on Tisha that we'll move your idea to
dunya in our lion, hustle Fico houfy, even what
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:59
			he's saying, the sources of destructions of ideas of passing ideas
		
00:36:00 --> 00:36:14
			are either apparent and visible. And these are all external. And these are, whatever engages you
either visually, or in terms of sounds. So if there is,
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:35
			there are things that are engaging your eyesight, as you are praying, some beautiful calligraphy,
some colorful patterns around you, that's going to take drive your thoughts into that, or some kind
of sounds, some people are talking speaking, or some kind of music in the background, and all
		
00:36:37 --> 00:37:15
			and that takes your attention and your thoughts. So these are some sources of distraction. These are
apparent external ones, but there are inner sources of distraction. And he's saying these are more
profound, a more powerful command to show that we remove God at the dunya like someone who's having
so many concerns, worries and issues with regards to this life. So there's so entangled in this
world the life with commitments with obligations with pursuits these are inner sources they're not
external that they're having some kind of external influence now, they have been internalized
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:53
			in Olayan hustle orthography if anyone has so this person their mind is jumping from one thing to
another it's not like cannot focus on one thing why because each concern is is pulling him in once
it's in another in another direction right? What am you only hear a bull buzzer and even if this
person again does not look around so there's no external distraction or visual distraction the m&m
our political be Catholic Catherine finished your rally behave but he already hasn't had has

			We're either dedicating ketamine or more the Valhalla beta Mm hmm. Similarly, Basa will Carbonell
tabler will another element that has to do with the electrolyzer for solar thermal modeling and
Kosha under April Ganga who manage his cell, so he's saying the way to treat this is saying external
sources like visual ones auditory, you know, sounds etcetera, is, you know, to cut off all of these
sources by taking into the direction of the Qibla
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:31
			and
		
00:38:33 --> 00:38:41
			fixating your eyesight on the place where you make sujood So, you're not looking around you're
looking at the place where you make going to make sujood and
		
00:38:42 --> 00:38:47
			avoiding prayer in in areas where there are visual distractions
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:57
			and that he does not leave around him in the area around him. Anything that distracts him either
visually or in auditory or whatever.

			In an MBSR stamina muscle Fe MB journey yet in lamina Zaha called in her Let me an event Ancelotti

00:39:13 --> 00:39:42
			God garment kind of garment that has patterns and the prophets of salaam took it off and he said It
distracted me in my previously in my salah. When can me know more about Lena Federico energy and the
nessa Catherine LRMI opera office seletti Where is he ended up and if with regards to the inner
sources of distraction, the way to deal with that is to force the self force attention here
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:50
			to what he is reading or he's reciting and Salah and too busy himself his attention with it.
		
00:39:52 --> 00:39:59
			Where's the ID that erotica for blood holy masala and he prepares before entering this ally so he

			To get any business done get it over with
		
00:40:05 --> 00:40:33
			and that the person works hard to empty their heart before salon where you did the the Allah NFC the
Quran, Hara will hop royalty me been a delay as well I will not lie and to revive renew within
himself in his mind bring back again the mention of the Acura you know, they have judgment grow
conscious of that bring his consciousness to the Acura
		
00:40:34 --> 00:40:51
			and the seriousness of standing before Allah subhanaw taala. And the horrors of the Day of Judgment,
for in them just couldn't have caught will be Delic for the LM and now in the metaphysical female
who was to her home. And if his thoughts do not
		
00:40:53 --> 00:41:21
			quiet, his mind is not quiet and don't go quiet with this. Like his distracting thoughts do not
disappear when he reminds himself of the era. And let him know that his mind is so busy with the
things that are important to him or her. And the things that are attractive. He's attracted or she's
attracted to Philly attractive casual Toyota Toyota Corolla. So this person should seriously
consider
		
00:41:22 --> 00:41:52
			severing their connection to these things, these distractions and these desires, like not only in
the mind, but really cut off this relationship with these things. And again, use this wisely. So
some people say all does that mean? Like I'm distracted with regards to my work, that I should stop
working, not be wise, Be wise when it comes to these things. And the reason I'm saying this is
sometimes you say a statement like that and someone takes it at face value.
		
00:41:54 --> 00:42:12
			without applying any level of common sense, you know, whatever is being said here is something that
you should use wisely. Again, it doesn't, we're not I'm not assuming that you're just going to take
things literally and apply them universally regardless of the situations you're dealing with.
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:15
			So that's just common sense.

			While I'm NLL letter mathema cannot lay and throw her in love the work will go away.
		
00:42:29 --> 00:42:31
