Necessary, it's gonna fall down this way. If
you do it this way, it's gonna fall
to the back. If you keep it straight,
it's gonna be there.
Tell me.
The Milagaz held her up. Okay.
The person is not doing sujood properly.
Okay.
The prophet
says in the Islamic Hadith and Posarid,
I have been ordered to make sujood on
7 orders. So when you make sujood,
send them things in your body how to
touch the ground. The forehead and the nose,
this is 1.
Palms of the hands,
3. The knees,
5. And the,
the
feet the toes.
That is 7.
This is relevant to the discussion, also the
hands.
Some people make
sujud with their hands like this. Some people,
they their elbows, they touch their ground.
And
the prophet said, don't do it this way.
You do it like this,
and your elbows don't touch the ground.
How about this one?
Yes. The lions are not straight.
The Prophet
says,
he used to tell the Sahaba to straighten
the lines before the salah because
strengthening the line is part of the salah.
What happens when people start a new life,
some people start
the life from the right,
some people start the life from the left,
and they keep calling each other.
The way it should be, they should start
in the middle right behind the imam and
build up the land from both sides.
So you stand right behind the imam.
It happens all the time.
Some people are faster than the imam and
some people are slower than the imam. So
for example, there is this guy,
he has to go for an appointment or
a rent coup,
You cannot make salaam before the imam. If
you make salaam before the imam, your salah
is not acceptable. You have to start all
over again.
So
slow down because no matter what you do,
you cannot go to the the end line,
the finish line before the imam. So you
have slow down.
Some people think that the imam is too
fast.
Okay?
He's not saying fast properly. He's not reading
qaladur and whatever, proper. So what they do?
They take their time and they slow down.
The imam is in the sha'at in the
4th rakah, and they are in the 2nd
rakah in the fatha.
Why? Because they wanna do it properly. All
you need to do is just follow the
imam.
The prophet
They're not touching? They are? They're not touching?
Yes.
Thanks.
They are not standing close to each other.
Okay.
You don't have to,
bother people and squeeze them when you pray,
but get close to them.
So there is a hadith
that people should get close to each other
when they pray. It's a sign of mercy
in Islam.
Some people don't feel comfortable touching other people
when they pray, and also some people are
handset. And
in their Al Qura Surjud, they need more
space. This is not a problem. Okay?
But in regular
circumstances, you should stand next to people and
get close to each other.
It is said in the Hadith, if you
don't stand next to the person and you
leave a gap between yourself and the person
next to you, then the shaitan will fill
the gap.
You probably heard this story before.
In Ramadan and Tawhid, they were praying in
the Masjid,
and,
there these 2 guys standing next to each
other, of course, they are leaving a gap,
like, 2 yards between them.
They didn't like each other. Okay? They have
issues and problems in fights and courts and
stuff.
The imam told him, please, brothers, get close
to each other. So we start the salah
and then listen to them.
So the imam said, you know what? If
you guys will be close to each other,
we're not going to start the salah.
They didn't answer. Okay.
So this the the imam eventually, the imam
got so mad, he started to pull his
head off and
come and pray between us. Maybe Allah will
give him the day.
Maybe Allah will give him guidance.
He is reciting out loud with the imam.
And
there is a Ayat in Surat Al A'raf
close to the end of the Surah, where
Allah Subhanahu Wa'ala says, when the Qur'an is
reciting, listen attentively
so that you may attain the mercy of
Allah.
All the scholars are great. This verse talks
about recitation in the salah. When the iman
recites in the salah, you have to listen.
You don't recite nothing. Okay. Even Fatiha.
Say for example, the imam recites Al Fatiha
and he started right after to recite a
short surah. You don't have to say Al
Fatiha because if you say Fatiha, you will
miss his recitation of the short surah after.
By just saying ami and behind the imam,
you will give an award for reciting al
Fath Hadim if you didn't recite it yourself.
But
if the imam recites al Fath and then
he pauses for a few seconds, 40 seconds,
50 seconds as some imams do, you have
a chance to read the Fatha quickly
before he starts to recite. So in this
case, recite Fatha,
but if he doesn't give you time, then
you don't have to recite it. Listen attentively
to the imam and he will give the
reward, inshallah.
Okay. It's running to the salah.
And this happens sometimes in the Rashid. We
are praying
and for some reason, we feel a lot
of noise in the back. People are running
and jumping and stuff.
In the authentic Hadith, the prophet was praying
one day,
and in the middle of the salah, he
heard a lot of noise in the back
and people are
when you come to the salah, come and
walk in peace with tranquility. Whatever you catch
with the imam, alhamdulillah. If you miss anything,
make it out, Prophet salah. It's not an
easy.
And the other hadith,
And the other hadith, a Sahabi by the
name Abu Bakr. He's different from Abu Bakr
Salih.
The prophet was praying and he was in
record. And this Sahabi came and he didn't
want to miss the rakah. Because, you know,
if you
And by the way,
if you catch the Imam in the last
rakah and rakah,
then you not only catch the salah, but
you catch the jamaah itself. You'll take the
reward of jamaah.
If you catch the imam in the second
rakah in rakur or anytime before in the
day of jamaah, it is counted as jamaah
for you. But if you come anytime after
he raises the dibs from the Quran, the
second rakat, it is not Jummah. You pray
for Raka's dawg.
Some people don't know this this ruling.
Say, for example, for some reason, you couldn't
pray dawg on time, you started to pray
just 1 minute before the adhan for us.
If the adhan is made for us while
you are in the
first shakah of dawg, it is counted as
dawg for you. We pray on time.
But if the Adan is made by Yom
Fataha
or any time before the Gur, then you
have missed Salatul Goh. Now you're praying after
the time.
So Abu Bakr came on the protest of
the mosque in the rakor.
So he made the record.
He was there at the end of the
masjid, and he walked all the way to
the line like this. So the prophet saw
him, and he told him, what are you
doing? He said, I
If you are against us a lot from,
you know, the beginning, come to him.
K.
Yes. Some people come late and they love
the imam so much, they wanna pray right
behind the imam or listen to the khutba,
sit in front of the imam, so they
push the lines.
Okay?
One time the prophet was giving the Khutba
for Jummah and this man came from the
back and was pushing the way and walking
over people's necks. So the prophet told him
to sit down wherever you are. You came
late and you are harming people or bothering
people. Just sit wherever you are.
If you wanna sit in the front,
come early.
Yes. He's walking in front of the people
as they tread.
I know that
some fights happen in the Masjid because of
this.
It doesn't usually happen in Salat al Jamah,
but mostly, it's Salat al Sunn. When people
stand to pray and some people decide to
leave and they pass in front of you,
then you have fights. You grab a guy
and you start to punch him in the
face and and,
seriously. And some sisters, they start to pull
pull their hair and everything, scream,
don't pass in front of me. What's wrong
with you? Are you blind? And all that
stuff.
Okay.
The prophet says, if the person who passes
in front of people as they pray knows
the the the the the harm they do,
they would have to wait for 40 years
before they pass in front of the person.
Okay. First of all, if I'm praying and
and someone passed in front of me, this
is not gonna hurt my salah in a
way. I'm gonna give the full reward. The
only thing
is my fushor.
And, again, because this is something out of
my control, inshallah, I will get the foot
of work.
You are not accountable in Islam for something
that you don't have control over.
So the best way, if you are praying
sunnah, you pray close to the wall where
a pillar or a pillar
Okay. The prophet said that most of the
time, he prayed soon not in the house,
not in the masjids.
This is also
a big problem we see in the masjid.
So
so what is this guy doing basically?
The hanging fence.
Okay. I'm sitting in the front,
and he got those,
citzeliah, the old people in the masjid who
sit on the chairs in the back. So
we kind of see everything in front of
them. Now I'm sitting like this saying I
think, and this guy jumps over me with
a passion
and said, look at this guy, crazy guy
in the back. Everything is shown. Oh my
god. Why are you gonna focus on this
on this?
I know this guy is wrong, but maybe
this is his first time in the masjid.
If you give him the wicked look, you
call him an idiot. He will never come
back again.
Plus,
alhamdulillah, this guy has come a long way.
There are thousands of Muslims outside who never
come to the Mas'id. So we should honor
the fact that this guy took the time
and gave to the Mas'id. Let's say it's
also true for the sisters who come to
pray in tights or, you know, whatever
to the Mas'id. Of course, we ought to
give them nasiha, but we shouldn't be,
you know, harsh with them.
Every Muslim has some goodness in their hearts.
All they need is just a sincere advice.
Okay?
Don't make a scene and don't start to
yell and raise your voice. Just give them
the ziha in a nice way, and Allah
will, you know, accept from them and and
give them, you know, whatever. Give them the
reward based on their sincerity.
Of
course.
And this happened in the last year, like,
three times. I'm standing in
reciting a surah, and I think I was
talking about
Jannah or something.
And this guy,
out of nowhere, started to cry like like
a baby.
And I don't know He started to cry
because he loved my voice so much or
because my voice was hurting him so bad.
Or maybe he's whatever. I don't know what
was wrong with him. If you wanna cry,
the best time to do it is when
you pray by yourself. No one is, you
know, watching you. But if you disturb the
Jannah, you start to cry and make a
scene, and people say, Masha'Allah, he has a
very soft heart. I'm gonna marry my daughter.
No, man.
Some people some
some jobs are physical. Constructions,
mechanics, you know. There's nothing wrong with this.
Alhamdulillah.
I used to be a farmer for a
long time.
You mean, you get physical, you sweat a
lot. You
He came to the salat, salatul Hashah,
and he told me later that he had
been homeless for, like,
7 months.
And he probably haven't changed his socks for
a month, what? 6 months?
You see, like, a dinosaur
died,
like,
40,000,000,000 years ago, and this film was unbelievable.
Brother Abhutlah, his character, Karab, and Rashid, he
was running behind this guy, Balay, with the
thing.
Try to change the smell. Keep, you know,
something in your car or oil or perfume
or something to change the smell. You stand
in like this in the salah.
Some people are allergic to smoking, like myself.
Some people are asthmatic.
Know, some people can't breathe and people start
falling down,
you know, collapsing, and you don't know why.
Like, all the guys are falling down and,
oh, what's wrong with these guys?
Bird flu.
It's not bird flu. It's yours sucks.
The onions.
Onions and garlic.
It says in the hadith, if you eat
garlic and onions, you smell bad,
don't pray in the mission. If you change
the smell with a tooth toothbrush and and
toothpaste, then no problem.
This is the this is the last this
is the last last flight. This is the
problem we have almost every day in the
mess.
Phones are ringing in the salah,
crazy ringtones.
So I always tell the people
before the salah,
if your phone rings in the salah, we'll
charge you $20.
This is a fine because every salah, phones
are ringing.
So $20
up to salah. 2, 3 phones ring in
the salah. I tell them, okay. Give me
$20.
But if someone calls you in the salah
and you're calling, there's no way in the
world you can answer the phone. Like this
forget about this guy. Okay.
What is the point if you're not answering
your phone in the salah? Why don't you
leave it in the house or in the
car?
Because there's no point. We decide upon time
to get that piece of equipment to keep
it in the Hashem.
If someone, you know, calls you, the phones
are not gonna ring.
2 problems. Number 1, it's gonna shut all
the phones in the area.
And number 2, if someone, they have,
something they a paser or something they put
in their heart to whatever,
he's gonna stop this thing. So they're praying.
We're stopping the machine. This stuff.
So we, they didn't like the idea.
I was taught to charge people money.
Crazy ringtones for life. It was very crazy.
Sometimes I I don't know what to tell
people off the side. Okay? Because
