Today, I'm gonna answer the rest of your
questions.
So,
I know I've answered so many questions in
the last month or 2 since the schools,
started.
So we need someone new today. Like, if
you have been raising your hand for a
month, and we never picked you, so we
need someone new. Oh, my dear. And make
sure you ask
serious questions.
Right?
Beneficial questions, like, something you really need to
know.
Otherwise, your your life will be difficult or
something you really want to know. But not
something like,
question like, if the jinn give birth or
lay eggs.
Why does the qa'ala come on?
So we need, very good questions insha'ala.
Okay.
Yes?
I don't know. There's,
there's no specific teaching
that I know of
that is again singing in the washroom. But,
we shouldn't spend a long time inside because,
you know,
we should come out. You know when we
come out and we say,
and when you you go inside, you say
Yeah. Because
I'm not there. Right? So when you come
out, you say because,
this is a place that you will remember
Allah in. So when you come out, you
say,
you Allah forgive me for not remembering you
inside or saying
or something inside.
So try to come out as, you know,
as soon as you can, but if you
sing, I I don't see it as haram,
like something serious.
Especially if you,
you have a beautiful voice.
You will get,
you want someone new.
New, like brand new. I'm not gonna do
this.
Okay.
Well, it depends on what kind of medicines
that you take orally.
If it's pills
or syrup, something you have to drink,
something you have to consume and it goes
through your, throat,
then
the fasting is not valid. But if we
are talking about a puffer,
some people who have asthma and they have
a difficulty breathing, and they need to use
the, puffer, then it doesn't
they don't know Fatiha, they don't know nothing,
so there are a couple of options. Number
1,
as we mentioned yesterday, they can just remember
Allah and say, subhanallah, alhamdulillah,
laila, lawu Akbar.
In Arab or English, they really like it.
Doesn't really matter.
Or they can read Fatiha
in translation,
in the short surah in translation,
until they get to learn the surah in
Arab.
So this is a transitional,
period in their life, so we don't make
it difficult for them. They do the best
they can, and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will
accept from them.
We'll take this brother in the back. If
somebody wants Laod.
If somebody wants to finish Quran, we can.
Where do you see that?
If somebody wants to finish Quran, he can.
They they want to finish reading it, but
they can't?
Well,
our relationship with the Quran
has different levels.
One of them is to read it, and
this is like the minimum.
Right?
To to read the Quran, whenever you have
the time, even one Ayah every day, you
do your best.
You are not sinful if you don't do
it, that this is something recommended to get.
Because how come you can't make salah without
reading Quran? You have to read some Quran
on a daily basis, at least Fadqa and
a short surah.
The next level is to memorize
some parts of the Quran. And I would
say that every single Muslim in this world
knows some parts of the Quran. Maybe a
few surahs, a few ayat, or even the
whole Quran. There are millions
in this world who know the Quran by
heart.
There are more than 7,000,000 people in, place
like Libya, for example.
At least 1,000,000 of them
are half of the Quran.
And in Nigeria,
Indonesia,
Turkey, Egypt, in many places,
there's so many people who memorize the Quran.
And,
and by the way, the Quran is the
only book in the world
that is memorized by millions of people in
our time and billions of people throughout,
history. Thank you.
So I believe if all the books in
the world, all the books, all the CDs,
and all the computers, all the iPads and
iPhones are destroyed,
only the compute only the Quran will come
back, because people will write it back from
memory.
And this is something very special about the
Quran. So this is the next level. So
reading,
memorizing the Quran,
and most importantly,
understanding it. Because what is the point if
you read it or memorize it and you
don't understand it?
It's like me saying something in Chinese that
I don't understand.
It's not gonna affect me as a person,
so I need to understand,
what I'm reading.
And number 4,
I need to reflect on the Quran and
apply it to my life. What is the
point if I read the Quran,
if I memorize the Quran, understand it and
do not apply?
So for example, if it says in the
Quran that stealing is Haram,
I steal.
If it says in the Quran, you have
to pray on time, and I don't pray.
What is the point of memorizing if you
don't apply the Quran to your life? Right?
So these are the different levels.
So I'm gonna conclude with a statement that
I used in the Khutbah a long time
ago
from Ibraham
Allah. On the day of judgment,
those of you who memorize Quran,
your parents will be honored with a crown
of pearl
and and and and light on the day
of judgment. A great honor they will get
for making you half his Quran.
So Imam Al Kaim speaks of what they
call Ahlul Quran. The people of the Quran
who would be in the highest places in
Jannah.
So Mohammed Al Kaim defines these people,
and he said that, the people of Anil
Quran are the people who understand it and
apply it. There is no mention of reading
and memorizing.
So if you memorize the Quran and you
you read it, but you understand it and
apply it, you will be from the people
of the Quran.
If you memorize it, and you don't understand
it, and you don't apply it, you will
not be from these people. So the most
important thing
is to understand it and apply it to
your life whether you memorize it or not.
So I hope this answers the question.
We'll take,
Yasmin.
Like, what if you, like, you're maybe going
to the masjid and you're, like, walking up
the surf, and then someone's, like, beside you
and then they just, like, pass gas right
beside
you. Do you both have to make wudu
again? Or do do you, like, do you
have your wudu and they don't? Someone did
what? Like, pass gas. Okay. So yeah. If
someone broke their wudu, it has nothing to
do with you. Totally different things. Right?
So if you have ludu and someone lost
their ludu, it doesn't affect you in any
way. Like if they're serious.
Oh, it doesn't doesn't matter because,
you know, it doesn't affect your ludu in
any way.
Yes.
Okay. This guy.
Yes.
If
you are, basically, for example, disintegrating,
the TV is on, like, you're putting
like, there's a lot of movement in the
house. How come it's, like, not good when
someone's passing right in front of you?
Like like, let's say you don't get distracted
easily and someone's just
you're putting that someone's just moving beside, like,
in front of you. Well, does that affect
how you break? Yes. I'm not gonna
Well, when you pray, it is better to
find a quiet spot in the in the
house
and and pray.
But not in front of a,
a TV, or a computer,
or a place where,
there is a lot of traffic.
So you don't stand in front of the
kitchen
and and pray.
Like,
here on Jum'ah, when we finish the foot
plan, we finish salah, some people do their
2 rakasulna, and they stand in front of
the door.
And people are coming and going, and they
are mad because people are passing in front
of them. So what do you expect?
You don't stand in front of the door
to exit
and pretend like no one is gonna pass
in front of you. You just find a
quiet spot,
in the washer?
Well, you say it and you you can
if you sneeze, for example, you say Alhamdulillah
in your heart,
but you're not allowed to say it out
loud. I have to shia for Allah, but
it's like, what about, like, for a prophet
or something like that?
Like As prophet.
Well,
why would you pronounce the prophet's name aside?
Unless
you're calling someone from outside to pass you
some or the or something, and their name
is Ibrahim or Mohammed. I don't see this
as a prophet. Right?
Right? Someone new.
This guy's new.
Yes.
Say alhamdulillah where?
Yeah. You shouldn't say it out loud. Because
if you sneeze and you say alhamdulillah,
say it in your heart. You don't say
it out
with. Now there's no better. It's it's up
to you. Because Islam doesn't make your life
difficult. Just make what you want to die
up and come to life,
not it's it's up to you. It doesn't
get into a specific.
Yeah. I think,
in September, someone asked a question about keeping
it down in their mouth when they prayed.
And I gave the answer, and I think,
the person didn't get my answer correctly.
I said, if it's flavored, if it is
like,
strawberry or orange and you keep it in
your mouth, even if you don't chew on
it, you will always feel
the taste and eventually you're gonna swallow it,
and and this is not nice.
If it doesn't have a flavor, like
no flavor. Makes perfect. If you keep it
in your mouth,
as I said,
the scholars are kind of lenient.
But what is the point if you keep
a chewing gum in your mouth, and you're
not gonna chew it inside the salah?
Plus it is not nice. It is not,
from the other, to keep chewing gum in
your mouth when you're standing in front of
Allah before salah, in insulah. Keep it outside,
and after salah, you can put it back
in your mouth.
So the answer, either way, keep it outside
your mouth when you pray so you can
focus in the salah.
Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.
Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.
Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.
Bye.
