So today, before Ma'am, we have this program,
the face of Ramadan for non Muslims.
We invited them for a tour in the
masjid, a lecture,
and, they have a star with us. So
I gave a talk about Islam, and after
the talk, this non Muslim lady, mostly,
I would say Christian,
she said, do you have, music
as part of your service?
Say, for example, you pray, and after the
prayer, you, sing and dance
and that stuff. Maybe this is her first
time in the mission.
So I said no.
So she said why?
And I said because in Islam,
for your actions to be accepted and to
get close to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, two
conditions should be met.
Number 1,
you have to do things sincerely for the
sake of of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. If
you show off, no reward.
And number 2, you have to follow precisely
the example of the prophet salallahu alayhi wa
salam. So the prophet salallahu alayhi wa salam
told us to pray in a certain way,
so this is what we do. So this
is the reason we don't have music, we're
dancing in the masjid, because the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam told us to pray and
fast in a certain way, and this is
what we do.
Fayuh, inshaAllah,
al Wasila al Muayna alaqubibil Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala
For you to be close to Allah
you have to follow the example of the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
If you pray, mamrik, pay a waz,
0 reward.
If you circle the Kaaba 15 times,
0 reward.
Because you have to do exactly the same
thing that the prophet
did. If you do more or less,
especially when it comes to obligatory
acts of worship, there's no reward.
So the scholars classify
the sunnah of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam into 2 groups.
The sunnah of 'ala or sunnah of tradition,
things that the Prophet did because everyone around
him was doing,
like the way they dressed, the style, the
fashion at that time, the jalabiya. This is
how everyone dressed. If you have seen the
Masjid movie, the Sahaba and the Kufar, they
dressed the same way, The same jalabiya, same
term.
And also, there are some certain things that
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam liked or
didn't like when it comes to food, for
example.
He liked. And it is true that the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam liked watermelon,
zucchini, and squash.
If you like this food, it's up to
you. If you don't like it, it's up
to you. He didn't like,
the meat of
al dal, which is a lizard like,
rib thigh.
So some of us haven't ate it, and
the prophet didn't eat it. So if you
follow in this area or don't follow, there
is no sin on you.
Some who come Arabic to Muni usalli, hadam
musulat al Ibad. Waylataar Rabius salam
al athaha haram al alahuburummati.
Hazam al Ibad ifaqlatafar.
So the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam says,
pray as you have seen me pray, this
is an act of worship. This is Ibad.
If the prophet says,
don't wear gold for men,
so this is Ibad because he says do
or don't do, then it becomes Ibad.
A
So one of the brothers, he told me
for years, if he made a mistake in
the salah, like, he didn't recite sujood
al Fashahhud in the second Raqqah, he would
make salah and start all over again again.
He didn't know about sujood the sunnah at
the end. So knowing the sunnah will make
your life easier. And I conclude with this,
final story from one of the brothers.
I'll conclude with this story from one of
the brothers from a country in Southeast Asia.
He swore to me that in his small
village, the guy who was leading the
congregation is not a scholar, but he read
a couple of pages here and there. He
told them that they have to make wudu
for the animal before they slaughter it for
ul Hayat in the Eid al Adha.
So someone came to him and he was
making a lot of mustafar, oh, Allah forgive
me, I didn't know this, ruling.
What about the animals that slaughtered in the
past years and I didn't know this ruling
because I'm ignorant?
So he said you have to make him
up again
because the 1 illudayy al dakudu does not
count.
So, Allah, this is it's a true story.
The brothers swore to me. So you don't
have to make wudu for your animal if
you
So in the Masjid Haram, when people pray,
some of the people because they are standing
in circles around the Kaaba, some of them
will be facing the iman face to face.
And this is the only question in the
world where you have this.
If you are praying Dhu,
you forgot to recite a short Surah but
a few ayahs after Fatiha in the 1st
or second rakah. Do you have to make
sujood at the end or not? If you
know the answer, email me before tomorrow [email protected].
The winner for today is brother, Hazid Abbas.
Assalamu alayk.
