The last ayah the shayef has cited Imam
Bilaj is Allah Khair Mujal Nabaadakumlibardin
Fitna. Some of you are attest to others.
One of the applications of this ayah, when
people come late for salah to Isha, and
they saw a huge amount for Isha, and
a second, third JAMA starts for Isha, and
we feel guilty when we pray salah to
Taweih, and we have to wait for them
to finish, and people want to leave, and
so on and so forth.
Allah, if we follow the Sunnah, your life
will become easy, but sometimes
Okay, this is the way I'm gonna do
it whatever Muhammad
did, Khalas. This is my way,
done. So in the hadith in in Bukhary,
Muadh Radhi Allahu Anhu, he used to pray
Isha behind Muhammad
And when his Isha is done behind Muhammad
He would go to his own people, their
masjid was far away, and he would do
a second Isha. He would become their imam.
This is like sunnah for him, and they
create 4th Isha behind him. And this is
in Bukhari, and Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam
approved. There is another hadith in Bukhari,
they finished salah like Thor or Asr or
something, salatul Dhur, most likely.
And, they finished, and a man came, he
didn't pray his father, and he looked around,
there was no one praying salah, and the
Prophet salAllahu alaihi wa sallam said, Many of
us salltaqalaha hafayi salima'a who will give sadaqa
to this man and pray with him? So
Abu Bakr stood up, he prayed his sunnah,
and the man prayed surat behind him, right
in front of Muhammad
So my advice to the brothers, if you
come late for Isha, try it behind us.
We're praying taraweeh, you pray with the niyyah
of Isha. It's perfectly perfectly acceptable. If it
was approved by Muhammad
you shouldn't be shy to do it. Please.
So if you come late insha'Allah, promise me
that you'll pray behind the imam when he's
praying taweeh with the niyyah of Isha. Allah
will accept and He will give you their
word. Tell us, Alhamdulillah.
So basically, there's something we call
strategic Ibadal. Ibadal is strategic.
Now let's say for example, if I would
like to get all the hsanat in the
world in one night,
and you see, I would like to read
Quran but I cannot finish the Quran in
1 night. So basically there's a hadith that
suggests if you recite Qumuloaha
at one time you get,
1 third of reciting the entire Quran. So
basically, if you read it 3 times, it
is as if you got the reward for
reading the entire Quran in one night. So
this is one strategic thing. Another hadith of
the prophet
that if you make dua for all Muslims
in the world, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will
give you for every Muslim Hassanat. So if
you say you Allah, if you die to
all Muslims, you Allah accept their fasting, you
Allah accept their salah, their piyans. Allah will
give you what it worth for every Muslim,
that's 1,600,000,000
or at least a few million, and this
is the easiest way to get Hassanat.
Helping people, you know, the
most beloved among you is the one who
is most beneficial to people. Make shafar to
people. If someone is desperate, they are looking
for a job, and you know how to
help them, don't hesitate.
Because if you if you are there for
people and you stand up for them and
you help them, Allah will
help
you. When you pray
salah, say for example, you miss salah.
You're at work somewhere, you miss salah, or
you came late, not in Tarawiyah, but some
other time, and and you want you would
like to pray salah to Jannah, don't pray
by yourself. Pray with someone.
Even if they're praying their sunnah, if you're
at home, pray with your wife, if you're
at work, pull someone
and pray with them. If you don't have
Muslims there, just give shaharah to someone, pray
together.
I don't know. You just do it. You
know, if you do it in JAMA'ah, you
will be getting a lot of your words.
If you wake up for salatul fashr, you
are going to the masjid to pray jama'ah,
pray sunnah with your wife, it's to your
your rakah sunnah, and your wife will pray
farda behind you. She will give the word
of jama'ah, you then you will come to
a masjid and give the word of jama'ah.
This is the strategic way of doing things.
And Nabi'ul salawahu alaihi wa sallam said let's
assume that you are desperate to go for
Hajj, but you don't have the money.
You still can get the reward of Hajj
even if you're staying in the city and
you never left the prophet salawahu alaihi wa
sallam in Al Tirmidhi.
He said if you pray Fazr injama,
then you sit and remember Allah
sun is up 15 minutes after you pray
The prophet salawasalam said you will get the
reward of Hashir al Urah complete complete complete.
He said it three times. And some of
the arlemaans say this applies to the sisters
at home
because they can't leave the house, if they
pray with their family, then they sit and
remember Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, they pray the
2 raka'ah, of course Allah will give them
alakarim, Allah will give them the reward.
So it is easy inshaAllah to get hazanat
by doing small things
Caring about people, doing Iqbal strategically.
If you see someone who is sick
who is sick, you say You Allah give
him shifa in your heart. When you see
someone who's looking for a job say Allah
give them a job. When you see someone
who is going to work say say Allah
give them tawfiq, put barakan.
You see janat say Allah give them janatah
for those. If you see a Muslim who's
not practicing, say Allah. Guide them. Give them
tafiki Allah.
And the Malaika will always say
The Malaika will say, and you will get
the same. If you pray for Barakah, good
health, good wealth, good kids, the Malaika will
say, and for you too. And once the
Malaika say and for you too, there is
a guarantee that Allah will accept their dua
for you.
Even if your own dua is not accepted,
the Malaika's dua for you will for sure
be accepted. So this is that in some
ways to to do a better strategically,
we ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to accept
from all of us who will continue tomorrow,
inshallah.
The question for last night was a tricky
one. So the question was, if I take
pills for painkillers
and I don't use any water, I just
swallow the pills, Khalas. Is my fasting still
I'm doing this during the day. Is my
fasting still valid or no? So the people
are confused because of the water aspect. If
I don't use water, then it should be
okay. But the answer is no. If you
swallow the pills, even if you don't use
water, your fasting is not valid. But if
you take the shots, the pain killer shots,
then your fasting is okay. Anything that goes
through the throat, in terms of syrup or
pills will invalidate the the fasting even if
you didn't didn't use any water.
And the winner is sister,
I assume, sister Lalo Akil.
Lalo Akil.
Sister Lalo Akil.
She's outside.
Okay. So we'll give her the,
the prize after inshallah. After salah, inshallah after
we will be turned the whole way and
give her the award inshallah.
A question for tonight,
is easy one inshallah.
If you fast a month of Ramadan, you
fast 6 days from the month of Shawwal
after, what is the reward that you get?
You know the answer, email me before tomorrow
asa at imamustafa at Anatolia sintur Gazzi. Jazakulahu
hayra.
And make sure on the way out inshallah,
at the end,
check out the, the booth,
for the, Human Concern International and help them
as much as you can. Inshallah.
Thank you.
