00:03:33 --> 00:03:36
			And he heard that the Persians were mobilizing
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			an army to take Muslims
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:40
			out and take over the Muslim qiraq at
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:43
			the time. So he mobilized an army and
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			he sent sent it to Persia.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			And the people in that city, Tostan,
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:51
			they shook they took shelter in that fort
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			in the city. A 150,000
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			people and soldiers
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:58
			were inside that fort or that city that
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:58
			was fortified.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			For 18 months,
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:04
			Muslims were trying to conquest this fort and
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			open it, but they couldn't.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:06
			Eventually,
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			after the Quran and salah and all these
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			things, they were able to open the city.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			So it's a great victory.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:16
			Alhamdulillah. Great victory. Nobody's going to attack the
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:19
			Jilat or anything Alhamdulillah. They are safe now.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			But every time
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			and there's a narration in Sahih Bukhari who
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			talks about this story.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			We started the offense
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			a little bit before fashion and we finished
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			after sunrise
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			so I missed fashion for the first time
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			in my whole life. And this is why
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			he used to cry. And he had an
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			excuse to miss it.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			It's not like he was playing video games
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:01
			or he was doing sitting at Tim Hortons
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			or anything. No. He was
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			in the battlefield
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:08
			protecting himself, protecting the Muslims and so there
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			was an excuse.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			And he used to say, what is the
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			value of opening the city of Kusna
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			if
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			it caused us to Salat al Fesh? What
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			is the value of this victory? So he
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:23
			was sad that they missed Salat al Fesh.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:23
			All of us, now you know what I'm
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			going to talk about. And I wish,
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			A lot of people, they miss the last
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:42
			profession
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:44
			willingly or unwilling,
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			intentionally or unintentionally.
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			I know some people who have to work
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			long hours and so on and so forth.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			They know they have to pray before sunrise
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			and
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:56
			whatnot.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			But some people may visit, unintentionally,
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			because they think
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:03
			that the time window for Farsh is all
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:06
			the way from Farsh until salahul Qur'an. But
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:07
			this is wrong.
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:08
			The salah
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
			end time
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:13
			or the deadline for salah confession ends with
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:14
			sunrise.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17
			So if you pray Fazh after sunrise, it'll
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:18
			just start praying
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			It's exactly the same thing.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23
			So you have to make sure that you
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:26
			pray it before sunrise. And if you are
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			not able to pray Pesher now, in the
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			wintertime,
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			Eshay is what time? Around 6:30. Almost throughout
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:35
			the winter.
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			Just forgive. Okay. You can't.
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			Now, you have no excuse on how to
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			not have long life, you can sleep, you
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			can do all of your work, but make
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:02
			sure you pray before sunrise. It's that simple.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:06
			When people read the ayaats in the buhaat
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			insulat alayam and surah al Nahum, they talk
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:10
			about those who neglect
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:11
			salah.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			So this is a different pattern. So if
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			you delay the salah for no excuse, you
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:24
			have to be scared because these are scani
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:27
			ayats in the Quran. So you can't delay
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:28
			the salah for no excuse.
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			Those who are going up and those who
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			are coming down, both of them are and
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			the raid of the Zayed Al Khayy, they
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:15
			witnessed the salaam. So now imagine you are
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:16
			standing in salaam
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:20
			in lights and the Malaiyah are witnessing you.
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			He will make a witness for you on
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			the day of judgement. But, yes, we witnessed
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26
			him praying in the masjid at that time.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			So the first verse should be more of
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:41
			Salat al Fajr praying in time. Number 1,
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:44
			if you're looking for life insurance,
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			then you should pray in Fajr on time.
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:47
			This is what Rasoolah says
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50
			in Hanafi, the site Muslim and Fajr
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08
			So now you're covered, you don't have to
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			wear it on anything and this is the
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:11
			sight missing.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14
			If you want to get a reward of
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:17
			going for Hajj without leaving your house or
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			without leaving the city,
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:22
			with her children or family members, then she
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:25
			sits in the house to remember Allah until
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:28
			sunrise that she prays du rakah for du'a,
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:29
			she will give the same reward of Hajj
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:32
			al Umar. And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			will give their word of standing
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:14
			half of the night Islam.
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:16
			But if you pray it fast in Jannah
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			in congregation, you will get their word of
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			standing the whole night
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:25
			in Tiyam. Tiyamulay, like Taajjud and Shaikh Anwur
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:26
			and all these things.
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:55
			So if you pray Asr al Fajr on
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:56
			time, guaranteed
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:58
			you will go to Jannah.
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:01
			The best thing
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			and the best reward that you can ever
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05
			think of with regards to Ufazr
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:08
			is it will lead you
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:55
			in Jannah. And, of course, if you look
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:56
			at the face of Allah
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:59
			in Jannah, this means that his life will
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:01
			be shouting you and you will never be
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:01
			punished.
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:03
			Now, you got a guarantee
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			that you will be in this Nain forever.
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:07
			So,
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:18
			and he told me,
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			he used to sleep, and he had an
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:23
			alarm, and it was sent to 9 or
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25
			10 in the morning. So he missed salaam
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:26
			al Fashuk a big time.
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:28
			And I gave him the ayat and the
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			hadith about the punishment and all the things
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			I mentioned at the beginning.
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:00
			Do
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:12
			this for you in the day of judgement?
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:14
			He said, well, I don't want to be
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:17
			on that decision. So I told him at
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:18
			6 o'clock, 6:30,
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			wake up, pray for him in 3, 4,
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			5 minutes, and go back to sleep. I'm
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:24
			not gonna ask you more than this.
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			Until this day, this is what he has
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			been doing. Alhamdulillah. So he changed his mind.
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			Okay? You don't have to play many games
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:01
			or watch movies all night long. You have
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:03
			14, 13 hours a night,
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:05
			then if you can't get to a 7
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:08
			hour, 8 hour sleep, then I have a
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:09
			lot of things to do. It's a matter
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:12
			of organization. That's all you need to do.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:16
			If you are looking for additional motivation, you
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:17
			can't wake up at 6 or 7 in
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:19
			the morning to pray for one
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:20
			time,
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:22
			then all I need to do, you to
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:25
			do, is just open the binoculars in your
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:26
			house,
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:27
			look through the window
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:30
			and see how many Canadians wake up at
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:31
			this time to walk their dogs.
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:34
			If they are able to wake up with
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:35
			their dog at that time,
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:38
			so why is it difficult for you to
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:40
			wake up with your god at that time?
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42
			The last motivation I wanna give you
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:45
			is I saw a video on YouTube of
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:46
			my brother from Saudi.
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:49
			He lives like half a mile away from
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:50
			the masjid. He's an old man
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:52
			and he is blind
