Mustafa Khattab – Khushu in the Prayer part 2 2

And

and

not the basement of Jannah, not the middle

of Jannah, but the highest place in Jannah,

Al Firdaus Al Arab. Allah says in Surat

Al Khumun, indeed

successful

are the believers

who humble themselves in the first.

Then Allah

says, they are the true heirs to paradise,

and they will get the highest place in

paradise and for those.

The first thing

that we need to do to prepare ourselves

before the salaam is to make wudu in

the proper way.

As the Prophet

says in the hadith, he always spoke about

making wudu in the best manner.

Some people do wudu very quickly,

especially when they go to, relieve themselves.

They paint

the the the,

restroom

in yellow because they do it standing, and

very quickly they they don't keep a distance

and try to protect them from this plattering

of the urine. And the prophet salaam says

in the hadith that this is one of

the things that make people suffer in their

graves.

So when you relieve yourself,

urinate,

you have to protect yourself from the urine

and clean yourself

up.

And the same is also true for the

wudu, the people do it very fast,

sometimes they miss some parts, or they don't

do it the right way.

So you have to free your mind before

the prayers.

If you're hungry, you should eat something before

you pray. So don't think about food

in the prayers.

In the authentic hadith recorded by Anasulullah

anhu, the prophet

says, if it is time for prayer

and you're hungry and the food is ready,

you should eat first.

So before you pray, you have to fear

your mind. If you're hungry, eat.

If you can't hold it,

then you should go to the restroom to

relieve yourself. So when you pray, your mind

is very

clear.

You are willing to stand before Allah and

pray again.

At 7 or 10. No, there are certain

times for salah. And the closer you pray

to the event, the more reward you will

get.

So in the Quran and in the Hadith

of the Prophet,

those who delay the salaam

because they are busy working or studying or

playing video games,

we'll pray in 5 minutes, we'll pray in

5 minutes. Until this time is over for

salaam, Allah

warns them

of a very,

terrible punishment.

As hinderers.

They

wait as reported in the Usid al Khareem

till the time is about to be over

for the prayer,

then they pray they're quick,

very quick. And they don't mention Allah Subhanahu

Wa Ta'ala and they don't have for sure.

And they only do it to show up.

They don't do it for Allah Subhanahu Wa

Ta'ala.

So when you stand in prayer, you have

to keep in your mind that you are

standing before Allah

You're standing before the King of Kings.

And imagine

if you go to your boss's office

or to king

so and so or president so and so,

and while standing in front of them, talking

to them, you keep blocking at your watch,

fixing your clothes,

looking outside the window or even digging in

your nose, you'll be fired in 2 minutes

or you'll be thrown in jail.

What about Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala? If you

stand before Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in prayer

and you keep thinking about everything

except Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And this is

very disrespectful.

You have to understand the value of praise.

This is the most important act of worship

in Islam.

How do we ask them, one of the

great scholars of Islam, was asked about Fushuah

al Salam?

How do we pray so

beautifully?

So he said when I stand in prayer,

you.

Paradise is to your right, the hand fire

is to your left,

and asilat is under your feet, and the

angel of death is over your head, ready

to take your life, and Allah subhanahu wa

ta'ala is watching you as you pray.

And he

said, after I do all this,

I'm not sure if my salah would be

accepted

or if it will be thrown back into

my face.

I don't care. I have prayed for it.

So when we pray, some of us they

do the opposite. They put the world in

front of them,

they interact them, and Allah subhanahu wa'ala behind

their backs,

the

We look as if we pray, but even

inside we think about every

thing except the salam.

He said, by the one who sent you

with the truth,

I can't pray, you better teach me.

So the prophet told him, when you pray,

you have to stand with humility

and take your time to pray very fast.

When you make a guru, you pray with

humility,

and you have to be tranquil as you

as you pray, you don't do it very

fast.

So one

thing that you have to do after the

salah is to pray the optional prayers before

or after the salah.

Because if there is a defect

or something you missed in the salah and

the obligatory prayer, then Allah

will make up

for salah between the 2 prayers, as if

you are standing in prayer between and us

all the time, between us and
