Mustafa Khattab – Sleep Is Better than Salah

And he heard that the Persians were mobilizing

an army to take Muslims

out and take over the Muslim qiraq at

the time. So he mobilized an army and

he sent sent it to Persia.

And the people in that city, Tostan,

they shook they took shelter in that fort

in the city. A 150,000

people and soldiers

were inside that fort or that city that

was fortified.

For 18 months,

Muslims were trying to conquest this fort and

open it, but they couldn't.

Eventually,

after the Quran and salah and all these

things, they were able to open the city.

So it's a great victory.

Alhamdulillah. Great victory. Nobody's going to attack the

Jilat or anything Alhamdulillah. They are safe now.

But every time

and there's a narration in Sahih Bukhari who

talks about this story.

We started the offense

a little bit before fashion and we finished

after sunrise

so I missed fashion for the first time

in my whole life. And this is why

he used to cry. And he had an

excuse to miss it.

It's not like he was playing video games

or he was doing sitting at Tim Hortons

or anything. No. He was

in the battlefield

protecting himself, protecting the Muslims and so there

was an excuse.

And he used to say, what is the

value of opening the city of Kusna

if

it caused us to Salat al Fesh? What

is the value of this victory? So he

was sad that they missed Salat al Fesh.

All of us, now you know what I'm

going to talk about. And I wish,

A lot of people, they miss the last

profession

willingly or unwilling,

intentionally or unintentionally.

I know some people who have to work

long hours and so on and so forth.

They know they have to pray before sunrise

and

whatnot.

But some people may visit, unintentionally,

because they think

that the time window for Farsh is all

the way from Farsh until salahul Qur'an. But

this is wrong.

The salah

end time

or the deadline for salah confession ends with

sunrise.

So if you pray Fazh after sunrise, it'll

just start praying

It's exactly the same thing.

So you have to make sure that you

pray it before sunrise. And if you are

not able to pray Pesher now, in the

wintertime,

Eshay is what time? Around 6:30. Almost throughout

the winter.

Just forgive. Okay. You can't.

Now, you have no excuse on how to

not have long life, you can sleep, you

can do all of your work, but make

sure you pray before sunrise. It's that simple.

When people read the ayaats in the buhaat

insulat alayam and surah al Nahum, they talk

about those who neglect

salah.

So this is a different pattern. So if

you delay the salah for no excuse, you

have to be scared because these are scani

ayats in the Quran. So you can't delay

the salah for no excuse.

Those who are going up and those who

are coming down, both of them are and

the raid of the Zayed Al Khayy, they

witnessed the salaam. So now imagine you are

standing in salaam

in lights and the Malaiyah are witnessing you.

He will make a witness for you on

the day of judgement. But, yes, we witnessed

him praying in the masjid at that time.

So the first verse should be more of

Salat al Fajr praying in time. Number 1,

if you're looking for life insurance,

then you should pray in Fajr on time.

This is what Rasoolah says

in Hanafi, the site Muslim and Fajr

So now you're covered, you don't have to

wear it on anything and this is the

sight missing.

If you want to get a reward of

going for Hajj without leaving your house or

without leaving the city,

with her children or family members, then she

sits in the house to remember Allah until

sunrise that she prays du rakah for du'a,

she will give the same reward of Hajj

al Umar. And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

will give their word of standing

half of the night Islam.

But if you pray it fast in Jannah

in congregation, you will get their word of

standing the whole night

in Tiyam. Tiyamulay, like Taajjud and Shaikh Anwur

and all these things.

So if you pray Asr al Fajr on

time, guaranteed

you will go to Jannah.

The best thing

and the best reward that you can ever

think of with regards to Ufazr

is it will lead you

in Jannah. And, of course, if you look

at the face of Allah

in Jannah, this means that his life will

be shouting you and you will never be

punished.

Now, you got a guarantee

that you will be in this Nain forever.

So,

and he told me,

he used to sleep, and he had an

alarm, and it was sent to 9 or

10 in the morning. So he missed salaam

al Fashuk a big time.

And I gave him the ayat and the

hadith about the punishment and all the things

I mentioned at the beginning.

Do

this for you in the day of judgement?

He said, well, I don't want to be

on that decision. So I told him at

6 o'clock, 6:30,

wake up, pray for him in 3, 4,

5 minutes, and go back to sleep. I'm

not gonna ask you more than this.

Until this day, this is what he has

been doing. Alhamdulillah. So he changed his mind.

Okay? You don't have to play many games

or watch movies all night long. You have

14, 13 hours a night,

then if you can't get to a 7

hour, 8 hour sleep, then I have a

lot of things to do. It's a matter

of organization. That's all you need to do.

If you are looking for additional motivation, you

can't wake up at 6 or 7 in

the morning to pray for one

time,

then all I need to do, you to

do, is just open the binoculars in your

house,

look through the window

and see how many Canadians wake up at

this time to walk their dogs.

If they are able to wake up with

their dog at that time,

so why is it difficult for you to

wake up with your god at that time?

The last motivation I wanna give you

is I saw a video on YouTube of

my brother from Saudi.

He lives like half a mile away from

the masjid. He's an old man

and he is blind
