Allah
Alhamdulillah,
all thanks and praise due to Allah subhana wa Taala for his many
blessings that He has bestowed upon us. We beseech ALLAH SubhanA
wa Taala to increase us in those blessings. Alhamdulillah, by His
grace, we have reached lesson number 23 and lesson number 23
deals with the compulsory acts of Salah. The text of
reads as follows, furudu salaiti, Saba, ata Ashara,
furudu salah. The word Furu is the plural of the word
foreign translates as compulsory act. Furu du Salah, the compulsory
acts of the prayer. Saba, ata Ashar. A number is given, and the
number here is picked at 17 certain scholars, and you will
come across certain jurisprudential works that list
the compulsory acts of Salah as 13. Why is that? Is there a
fundamental difference? Or what is the issue? The issue would be that
certain scholars would mention Puma, Nina coming to a standstill
as a separate integral, while others would not. They consider it
to be an integral, but some would mention it and some would not
mention it, and that
leads to the discrepancy in terms of the numbers and Allah subhanaw
taala knows, knows best. So just a point in terms of the numbering
for rule Ashara, the compulsory acts of solar are 17. What is the
proof for this? The proof is contained, by and large, in the
following narration. Here we have a somewhat lengthy narration. It
is going to cover most of the integrals. In terms of the prayer.
We're going to read through that bibliah, subhana wa taala, and
take it from the an Abu wa Raila, taradi, Allahu, AGU, and then Nabi
ya SallAllahu, Sallam Dahl, Masjid, on the authority of Abu or
Ara, he says that the Prophet sallallahu, alayhi wa ali, he was
Abu Salim entered the masjid, Fada rajun fasala, a person entered for
Salah, and he prayed Summa jesunam. Then he came, and he
greeted the prophesy Allah Abu Asmaa, for Abu SallAllahu alai
Salma, alaihi salam fakala, the prophesy Allah Abu Salam responded
and returned his greeting to him for Calla, then the prophesy,
Allah Abu Salam, who had observed him praying, said to him for
saliva in the column, to Sally that return and pray for, indeed
you have not prayed for Salida, sumaja, fasalama Ali Nabi ya
SallAllahu, alaihi wasallam. Then
the person went, he prayed, and he returned, and he greeted the
prophesy, Allah, while you sinam, the Prophet saw some responded to
him and said, irjeet for saliva in nakalam to Sally for a second
time, the prophesy, Allah Abu Salam is now telling him return
pray, for indeed you have not prayed. And this happened thrice
over. On the third time this companion said to the prophesy,
Allah, waluss, Wale Haq, sent you with the truth. In other words, by
Allah, unable to do other than what I've done. Oh, Sin means to
beautify. I'm unable to do it any better than what I had already did
it for alimni. So therefore teach me Kala, the Prophet sallallahu
said, either kumta Ila salati When you stand to pray, so again, we
are using this particular narration to underscore the
integrals of Salah, either Kum te ILA Sara when you stand to pray,
standing would now be an integral. So it would be one of the 17 FACA
beer. Then say, Allahu Akbar. So the tekbir tuli hawam would be
another integral from makra, Mata ya Sarama akam Quran. Then read
that which is easy for you. From the Quran. According to the Shafi
School of food, it is necessary to recite the Fatiha, as you will
come to see in every unit of prayer, full, merkar, then bow,
hattama in naraki, until you come to rest whilst you are bowing. And
I alluded to this particular point earlier on. The one obligatory Act
would be counted as to bow, the second one would be whilst you
are.
Powering in that particular position that you must come to a
complete rest. That is referred to in Arabic as to magnina to come to
a complete rest, Summar, Fadil, Kaiman, then you stand up until
you are upright. And again, one doesn't come up, and then
immediately go into prostration. One needs to come up, stand wait
for a person's body to come to a complete rest, acquire a restful
state in a particular position. Summa stood and then prostrate
until you are comfortable. You come to rest
whilst you are prostrating, summarizing the and then come
sitting between the two prostrations and sit Summa stood,
and then perform the prostration in the manner mentioned before
full mafalica swaratica, then do exactly the same in every unit of
prayer. So the Prophet saw him, teaches him one unit of prayer,
and is meant to replicate it in all the other units of prayer for
us. Importantly, we are focusing on for rule of solidar, that the
compulsory acts of Salah are 17, and we've mentioned this
particular narration, which doesn't cover all of the
integrals, but it covers the bulk of them, and ALLAH SubhanA wa
knows, knows best. Now we're going to start, and we're going to be
reading through these integrals. What is the first one alum? Let's
turn to the slide between the last the first integral would be the
intention.
And Nieto for in Canada, swallow for Java. Now in terms of the
intention,
incarnate is sad to farbal, if the prayer in question is a compulsory
prayer, for example, you are praying any of the five daily
prayers, be it for assert, Mali, beresh, Fajr,
if it is a compulsory prayer, then, in terms of your intention,
you need to consider the following number one, wajabah costu. You
must intend the action.
You must intend the action of Salah. So, in other words, you
must have a conceptualization that I'm going to be performing the
prayer. Number one, costume, you must intend the act of praying. So
when you're standing up to pray and you make your intention, your
intention, you must conceptualize the prayer that you are about to
perform. Costume number two, if the prayer is a compulsory prayer,
number two, it
must be step you later. For example, the author gives an
example, Subah Han, so I am praying, and I'm going to be
praying the war prayer. So number one is naway to an usali na way to
salata na way to an usaldi. I intend to pray so you have a
conceptualization of the prayer. I'm wording it now. It doesn't
necessarily need to be worded, but to facilitate understanding, I'm
wording it now wait to us only the way to an usali, I intend to pray.
So I intend the prayer. Number two is you must stipulate the prayer
so a person can't intend to mean to pray Lord, and he simply says,
No way to usali.
Salat, for example, I intend to pray a prayer. No. He has to
specify the prayer in a way to an usalia. Salat of buchari na way to
anusala. I intend to pray go. Why intend to pray as so Subah hung a
rail? Why Lita may yaza and radio him in Bucha to salawati
in order for that particular prayer to be distinguished from
any other prayer of the day, what if a person says, in a way, to an
soya, to walk, I intend to pray a prayer of the time? Would that
suffice? Our scholars say that would not suffice. A person must
be specific in terms of singling out the prayer. I need to add
something at this particular juncture, and that is
our teachers have been very particular in terms of the
intention. What is the intention? The intention basically means an
acute awareness. In other words, not in your back conscious, but in
your four conscious you must be aware of what you are doing at the
moment of inception. So, for example, when you are praying at
the time of the prayer, you simply need to be
conscious of the fact that you are going to pray. What happens
sometimes? Is it when we increase in knowledge, there's a negative
unintended consequence, and what does it do? It complicates matters
for us.
As opposed to facilitating ease in terms of our worship of Allah
subhanahu, and that should never be the case, and particularly in
today's time, we need to be weary and watch ourselves, lest we fall
down that very slippery silk and it's only supported by the
whisperings and insinuations of the of the devil. So whilst we
need to be particular about the intention, we mustn't become so
pedantic that we become obsessed with the intention that we can't
get beyond the intention. So the intention simply means
that a person is conscious of what he's about to do, and when we
maintain that particular simplicity, we will find that we
will experience ease in terms of the fulfillment of our worship. So
what is mentioned here may appear to be detailed, but actually it's
very simple. Number one, when you make an intention, and the
intention is for a compulsory prayer, three things need to be
considered. Must intend the prayer. That's
very simple, intend to pray, no way to anusali. Then, if it is a
far prayer, then you must single out of our prayer. So in a way, to
an and last but not least, one year till for beam in a barrier,
if a person happens to be physically mature, there's a bit
of in this regard. But in terms of the text of powerful, he says, one
year to far be Amin al barrier that you need to make the
intention of for the year that the Salah is for. So the intention
will now read away to an O Sally, for the salah to go Lila. So we
see the three things over there. You intend that prayer. Number
one, you single out the prayer in a way to an O Sally, Salah to go.
And then last but not least, for Dan Lee, Lai taala. And it is a
far prayer. So in a way to an usal before the salatul, we find in
that particular formula that all are contained the in and Allah
knows those best. Now here, our scholars say that I'm intending
for B it is not necessarily from a a mine. It is not necessarily from
a a mine. And that is what Imam a Ramli I said, on the other hand,
Ibn hajid has said that irrespective whether it is a minor
or major, the fact that the person is now making salah, he needs to
fulfill all of the requirements. So even if a child is performing
salah, going to Ibn hajid, he must make the intention of mujoob and
Allah. Subhanaw taala knows, knows, knows best. We go on to the
next slide. Be it Nila? Suba Hanu, what incarnate? Nafilat, on
the
other hand, we are still dealing with the intention, but the prayer
in question happens to be what we refer to in Arabic as a nafila.
Nafila here you could
translate as a recommended prayer or incarnate nafilatan. If the
prayer is recommended, if the prayer is recommended, then what
happens in this particular instance? Nafilatan, it is
recommended more Akata tan, but it has a specific time. So it is a
recommended prayer, but it has a specific time. They give us an
example, Calvi, for example, with you can't perform with it at any
time. It is a recommended prayer going to our school of thought,
what is its time? Its time is after Asia till a day break the
next day. So Witter is a recommended prayer which have a
specific time. Now, the intention in relation to such a recommended
prayer that has a specific time would be what Abu or the prayer
has a specific reason, like
tahit al masjid, for example. I speak under correction. We will
see now in terms of example, let's move to a more clear example.
Would be the recommended units of prayer before door and the
recommended news of prayer after door, you would agree with me that
it is recommended number one and then it has a specific time. The
recommended prayer units of prayer before door has a specific time
and the one after door has a specific time be. Does it mean?
What incarnate, nafilatan, Mo akkadan? If it is a recommended
prayer that has a specific time, or there's a specific cause, like
we did, for example, whatever. Then, in terms of the intention,
you need to consider the following. Number one, cost of
failure. You need to intend the action. And number two, wata Inua.
You need to specify it. You need to single it out. Why later the
meyersa and radiya. In order that this prayer, and this is the major
function, really, of intention when it comes to acts of worship,
it distinguishes the one act of worship from another act of
worship, for example. And I think one of the most clear examples
would be that the fajr prayer, the sugaha prayer, before the suguha
prayer, you have two units which are recommended, the Sunnah Salah
Subha, and then you have the fourth Salah Subha,
outwardly, they look exactly the same. How does one distinguish
between the two? One distinguishes between the two by means of the
intention. So now, when you are performing a superrogatory prayer,
it has a specific time it is necessary that you intend the way
to Sally uh.
You must intend the salon away to Sally salata. And then you must
also specify, So, example, no way to Sally salatul, Whitley, and it
would suffice, you don't have to say sunnat salaried with three.
And this is the difference between when you make an intention for the
for prayer and when you're making an intention for a I assume the
brain Allah SWT knows those best. With the mizuha be much to Europe.
So for example, how do you make them his? The question is asked
now, so you use the name of the particular prayer. For example, a
person says nawaito, and also the Salat of Bucha, or Salat al
ishraq, as some people refer to it. I intend to pay the salah of
Bucha or the salah of ishraq. Or one can connect it to a particular
prayer. For example, a person who said no way to an O, Sally,
sunnata, Salah to VOH, ala kabriya, ayaba intend to pray the
two units of prayer before the war and Allah. Subhanaw taala knows
those best we got into the next issue, what in character? Mutla
Kata No. Ajava, if the pray in question. Remember, we are still
dealing with the intention, and depending on the Salah in
question,
the intention or the necessary components of intention, are going
to change to recap and repetition is beneficial for a believer. If
it is a far prayer, you need to do three things. If it is a
recommended prayer that has a specific time, you need to do two
things. So three, two, and when it is a recommended prayer,
mutlakatan, wainkat, nafilatan, mutlakatan, if it is a recommended
prayer and unrestricted recommended prayer, whichever
then, the following would be compulsory costume. You simply
need to intend the prayer. So in other words, no way to Asmaa the
holos.
Here, we have a few examples, and we're going to do that very
quickly. The first example would be tahit al Masjid. I mentioned
that and said, let's not let's rather not mention the tahit al
Masjid example.
I was confused at that point in time, but it clearly falls under a
recommended prayer that is not time bound. So tahit will Masjid
when you enter into the machine. I was thinking about this. Why is it
not time bound? Because when you enter into the masjid, you can
walk around, walk around, walk around. And at any point in time
before you sit down, you can, you can pray it. So, Tahir masjid, so
what is the person say? No way to tahit al masjid, Na, way to
swallow sunnatal, after a person performs, who do and now he makes
the sun
of volu,
the Sunnah salah. Abu, sorry, Sunnat, a Salah till Hulu. Is the
Hara. Person perform? Is the Hara? A person performs tawaf, the
Sunnah Salah after he said, Come back, embolize around the Kaaba,
thereafter, he's going to perform salah. What type of Salah is this?
It is a sunnah, and it is a and mutlaka can be performed at at any
time after the tawaf. So what does he do here? It is necessary for
him to make the intention, but the simple requirement is that he
intends the the prayer and Allah, subhana wa Taala knows, knows
best. Kuna suffer. A person comes back from traveling and he prays.
He simply makes the intention away to finish Salat al Hajjah, again,
a person simply has a need, and he prays
for that particular reason. So he basically will say no way to a
Salat. And Allah SWT knows who's best. Farek fifia Castle, fear. I
mean, Israeli target. In these instances, it would suffice a
person to intend the action without presenting himself or
without having to engage in the cause. And Allah subhanaw taala
knows best. The next issue we go on now to the the second integral,
bid nila, subahanu taala. And the second integral reads as follows,
a Thani tekbira tuli haram. So we are dealing with the integrals of
Salah. We had mentioned that they are 1714, according to some
others, we started with the first one, which is the intention. The
second one would be thanira to the Haram that to say that Bira. We
know what Takbir means. Tagbird means to say Allahu, Akbar, wahua,
Allahu, Akbar. And therefore the author of our Father says a Thani.
The second integral is taqbiram to say Allahu Akbar, to make the
tekbir tuli haram. And what is the tagbila Haram? Allahu Akbar, it is
to say Allahu Akbar. The word iharam means to make something
even permissible. And the reason why the opening of the Salah is
referred to as tebiratuli Haram because by virtue of this
particular Takbeer, what was otherwise permissible becomes
impermissible. You could talk, but now you can't talk because you're
in the prayer. You could eat or drink, but now you can't because
you're in the in the prayer. What is the formula for the tabir,
Allahu? Akbar, will you do Allah? Will? Akbar, if a person wants to
do things a bit differently and he doesn't want to say Allahu? Akbar,
is it permissible for a person to say, Allahu, Akbar, he adds an
Alif Lam to the to the would that be permissible? But father says,
Will you do it would suffice him, and ALLAH SubhanA knows his best,
so the text reads, now, there is no problem to add an Alif Lam.
However, to include a pronoun would become problematic. What
does that mean? A person says, Allahu, all Akbar.
