And, some of you actually thought I was
going to talk about Muhammad salah.
Yeah. Because of the soccer game, Real Madrid,
and Liverpool, and so on and so forth,
and salah was injured and everything.
And that's Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and Yashfiyah
Salah wa Anya Li Ramus.
We hope to see him in the in
the World Cup inshallah in June. But anyway,
so tonight we'll continue to talk about salah.
Sorry, salah.
Salah.
This connection with
Allah If if you love someone,
you need to be connected with them. Right?
All the time. And this is why they
have this story, true story. They say there
was, this sister, she was always complaining
that her husband didn't have time for her.
Although they loved each other, but he was
always busy.
So one day she found the magic lamp.
True story. Right? So she rubbed the lamp
and the genie came out, and she said,
I want my wife my husband to be
connected with me. I want I want to
be the last thing that he sees before
he sleeps and the first thing that he
sees before when he wakes up in the
morning. So she was turned into an iPhone
7.
Because typically this is what the brothers do.
They look at their phone before they sleep
and this is the first thing they see
when they wake up. Anyway,
when you love Allah
you need to be connected with with him.
Right? And this is why, subhanAllah, you you
never wondered,
you know, we have this avkar book.
Every single move that you do in your
day and night, there's a dik for it.
Before you sleep, you say a dik. And
when you wake up in the morning, you
say a dik. Before go to the washroom,
you say dik. You come out, you say
dik. Before you eat, there is dik, bismillah.
After you finish, alhamdulillah.
Every single activity. You leave your house, tawqaqatawal,
you say the dua. If you come back,
before you enter your house, you say dua.
And the the reason is not to make
your life difficult. The reason is always to
connect you with the source, with Allah
When you were young,
every time you were in a difficulty, you
needed something,
you always ask your parents to provide for
you or help you. Because for you, your
parents were the ultimate authority.
And and this is the case with everyone
who's going through a difficult time. They always
look up to their superior to give them
ahead and help them. And believe me, you
cannot find a better superior or someone with
a higher authority than Allah
Yeah. And sometimes, I I know some brothers
and sisters, they they have some medical conditions,
they go to all the doctors, they travel
from here, the US, they go Europe, and
the doctor says, I don't know what is
the problem.
You know, some of the doctors are Muslim.
They tell them, we don't know. Medicine cannot
give answers.
The only one that you can turn to
is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. We we cannot
do anything. Right?
And and if, eventually, you're going to turn
to Allah, you might as well ask Allah
Because sometimes
we ask everyone
around us,
and we forget about Allah
and he is the last resort. And and
he should always be the first one you
should turn to in difficult times.
We say it at least 17 times every
day, but sometimes we don't really mean it.
Iyaka na'bodhi you are the only one we
worship, wayyaka nasta'inhi you are the only one
we ask for help. But when it comes
for help, he is not really on our
list. And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, as we
mentioned last night, he has everything in his
hands. If you're looking for a job, you're
looking for money, you're looking to get married,
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has the Qadr in
his hands and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is
able to provide.
So now,
every time a prophet
went through a difficult time in the Quran,
he was told, make salah.
This is very consistent in the Quran. Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
So the prophet
has told at the end of Surahil, we
know that what the kufad and shikun say
hurts your feelings,
and the only thing you can do now
is make salah. Pray to Allah, and He
will make it easier for you.
And if you look at the example of
Musa alayhi salaam,
Firaun
is from Egypt too.
So Firaun, basically, he shut down their places
of worship. They didn't have a masajid, a
place to pray. And Allah,
said,
Allah says, if Firaun shut down your masajid,
your places of worship,
turn your homes into masjid and pray at
home. This is what Allah told them. And
Firaun is persecuting you, he's abusing you, giving
you a hard time,
pray.
And right after wujeeba tawatukumma,
Firaun was destroyed, and so on and so
forth. When Yusuf Yunus alaihi sallam was in
the belly of the whale,
the thing he did inside, that
was his form of salah.
And ibn Abbas
said, every time you you see the word
sabbeah or tasbih or sabbeahu, it means to
offer salah.
Surah Noor sorry sorry. Surah Rum, these are
the 5 times for salah for Surah
These these are the 5, daily salawats.
So Yunus alayhi salawam was told to pray,
and he prayed in the belly of the
whale. And the ulama said, if he didn't
pray in Sayyid,
this whale would have been his grave till
the end. But Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala saved
his life because he prayed. He made dua
and he prayed to Allah
So now in any difficulty,
raise your hands to Allah
and ask him. And I gave the example
in one of the khubbas. One of the
things we can learn from kids there are
a lot of things we can learn from
them,
but one of them, we can learn
to, you know, to to bug. Right?
When you take them to the store,
and they make a scene,
and they're crying, and every time you tell
them to, you know, calm down, they're like,
you know, they make a scene.
And people look at you, they give you
the wicked look, and you say, he's not
my kid. You know?
They bug you. So, eventually, you have to
buy them what they're asking for. You know?
And you need to do the same thing
with Allah If your kids ask you for
something and you say no, they say daddy
daddy daddy, they, you know, they bug you.
And eventually if you keep saying no, they
start to cry. This is something we need
to do with Allah
Because some of us, we pray for 5
seconds, oh, I prayed, but my prayer was
never answered. Khalas. Done. No. You have to
do it the kid's way. And if your
dua is not answered, maybe you need to
start crying, and Allah
will, respond to you. So in every difficult
situation,
pray to Allah The last example I will
give. There is this ayah in the Quran
because a lot of people ask, like, it
doesn't make any sense.
Five pages in Surah Baqarah talk about talaq,
divorce, marriage problems, and right in the middle,
Allah says
Like he says, keep up the salat except
especially the middle salah which is salatul asr
al Hadith. Like, what does the verse about
salah have to do with divorce and marriage
issues and stuff? And the ulama say if
you have respect for Allah
you will show respect to your spouse even
at the time of talaq, and you will
give them the rights.
Because sometimes, some people when they are giving
their spouse talaq, they make their life a
living *
So they they they they they beg them.
Okay. I want talaq. I don't I don't
need anything from you. And this is not
the right way. You have to give you
honor them.
If you give them, give them with dignity.
And if you give them talaq, give them
talaq with respect and dignity as Allah
says in the Quran. So even in talaq,
in difficult times,
pray to Allah
to make it easy for you. And, the
question for last night, if the alarm clock
where your phone gave you the wrong time,
so you thought it was, you know, before
Farshid, but it turned out to be right
after, and this happened with me personally. So
in this case, you just continue your fast.
It's a mistake in Islam.
We're not accountable for unintentional mistakes.
And salah. Your doctor your doctor needs a
doctor. My doctor needs a doctor, insha'Allah. May
Allah give you shifa, insha'Allah.
The question for tonight,
if your zakatul fitra, your fitra in Canada
is $10.
If you're given here, it's $10. But what
if you are sending the money to a
Yemen or Palestine or your country back home?
How much do you need to send? Do
you send $10 or something else? If you
know the answer, email me before tomorrow. Aslamat
