The speaker discusses the importance of praying only for Allah Subhanahu Wa'ala, rather than thinking about the pleasures of the worship. He explains that while a mechanical worship is not a genuine rab'am, a pure Reb dedicated to the same thing is a genuine rabble. The speaker also suggests that praying only for Allah Subhanahu Wa'ala is a pure Rebala, and that it is necessary to give oneself sincerity during a situation where the situation is losing control.

00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			I can hear a lot of talking in
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			the back. Also, after we're finished, when we
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			leave outside, they're leaving, go to your car.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			We'll make a lot of noise because as
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			we said, our neighbors are asleep. And, some
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			of us, we make a lot of noises
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:27
			and
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			When you come to Friday, for example, you
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			go because just your family comes to Jummah.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:18
			You fasten Allah just because your family fasten
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			Allah or because your cousin fasten Allah.
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			But you are not doing it because you
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			are convinced it is the right thing to
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			do. You're not doing it because you are
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:27
			convinced it
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			is the right thing to do. You're not
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:29
			doing it to get the reward. So this
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			is the mechanical worship. You do it just
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			mechanical without thinking about
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			it. The mechanical worship does not have an
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			impact on you. It doesn't make you a
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			better person.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			Whereas a jimul worship,
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			you do it purely for the sake of
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:44
			Allah Subhanahu Wa'ala. Your heart is there when
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			you are doing it, and you are doing
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			it and
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			it makes you a better person.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			And this is why Allah Subhanahu Wa'ala when
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			he speaks about salah, for example, in the
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			But if you do a Hibara mechanically,
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			for example, if you say a shahad,
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			you say the shahad mechanically
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			without thinking about the being
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:17
			and without doing the requirements to become a
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			good Muslim, then you shahad becomes basically, like,
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:18
			chanting
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			you shahada becomes basically like chanting and singing.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			When you pray mechanically,
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29
			faster than life, so the burden will be
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:29
			off your shoulder,
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			then this is not a genuine rabadah. This
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			is a mechanical rabble. And Allah subhanahu wa'ala
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			says in Surah al Baqarah.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			See comfort and help in salah. And indeed
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			it's a burden except in those who humble
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			themselves to Allah subhanahu
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			So it's a burden on some people.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			So when you pray mechanically,
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			faster than light, you are not thinking about
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			what you're saying. You said
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			quickly as some people do, this is not
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07
			a genuine Rebekah. This is a
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			mechanical Rebekah.
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			So this is the mean, if this is
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			the case, if you pray mechanically,
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:13
			you'll saw it's no more that yoga. Some
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:13
			people pray like this, you know, they do
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			this. The movements, physically,
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:18
			physically, but, spiritually, this is not salah. When
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			you give your salah mechanically, this is nothing
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:19
			more than paying your GST. You do it
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			so you don't go to jail.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			You give your zakat so you don't go
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:32
			to Jahannik,
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			but you don't do it out of love
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			for Allah to have to help the poor
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			and to give it a reward.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			When, for example, you do the ash
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			and you do it in Khadim, just to
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			give the side of Hajji. Some people do
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			it for this. And some people, they are
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			happy. They love titles.
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			They would study for 7 years to give
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:53
			the the title of doctor, PhD, professor.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			And some people just pay $10,000
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			to go to Mecca and give the title
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:58
			Hajj.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			And these people would be dancing in the
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			street when they die because they will give
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:03
			the title.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:07
			They will not fight them so much. Okay?
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			So if this is what you do, you
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			do have mechanically,
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			and you make the laws around the Kaaba,
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			this is nothing better than jogging around the
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			beach or physically to say it because your
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			heart is not there. So Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			ta'ala is telling us in the Qur'an and
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24
			also in Khadim, in the prophet that
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			you have to make a better genuinely to
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			be sabiilah.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			Purely for the sake of Allah Subhanahu wa'ala.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			The second point is which is a genuine
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			Rebala would make you a better you. It
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39
			will have an impact on you. You do
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:39
			it
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			because as I said last night, what is
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			the point if you pray
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			but you lie?
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			You fasted on a lie and you steal.
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			You see, you do it mechanically. If you
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			do it the right way, it will make
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			you a better Muslim. You do it purely
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			for the same of Allah Subhanahu Wa'ala. When
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:56
			it's lost.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			I'm gonna conclude with this story,
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			and I
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59
			masjid all the time, so he wants to
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:02
			he wanted to propose and marry the sister.
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05
			So, of course, he's family because she was
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			from our background, and this is what the
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:06
			sisters do. Her family did the background check
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:07
			on the brother. Your history, from the name
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:07
			of the lord, the name of the name
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:07
			of the prophet. This is what happens.
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			And this is why when he didn't get
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			married to his sister, there was no reason
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			for him to come to the masjid, so
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:33
			he stopped coming altogether.
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:35
			There's no sincerity.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			We have to go to the masjid to
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:37
			give us sincerity.
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39
			A question for last night,
