I hate this mic by the way. We're
trying to fix it inshallah.
So they promised they will fix it, soon
before I retire.
So,
the
Surah Baqarah Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
spoke about
salah He spoke about divorce
and so on and so forth, conditions
and what happens after divorce and how can
someone return their wife
and how
a divorced woman can nurse her baby
and so on and so forth and the
itta and all these things
and irrevocable divorce, irrevocable divorce and so on
and so forth.
And in those 3 ayaat, Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala,
spoke about divorce and and all these issues
related to divorce
and all of a sudden,
in the middle of these ayaat, Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala spoke about salah.
So the question always comes up, Yari, what
does
salah have to do with divorce?
Right?
Because talak talak talak,
salak talak talak talak. I mean, why is
it there in the middle? Right?
So the Ulemmah say because
in Islam there are the rights of Allah
and the rights of the people The rights
of Allah like Sala al Siam, so on
and so forth The rights of the people
is you treat them kindly, you respect them,
and if you divorce a woman you have
to give her rights and so on and
so forth.
So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is basically telling
us,
and you have respect for him,
then you will respect your ex and you
will give them the rights.
Especially the husband, if he owes mawr or
subject to his wife, he will give her
everything that he owes to her.
For sometimes I have seen some cases where
someone
wants to divorce their wife for whatever reason,
and he plans to marry another one, but
he's very smart. So he won't he doesn't
want to get the first one, her dawri
I rama.
So what he what happens? He makes her
life a living *.
So eventually she will come, itayi bashaapihir takila
yan, she khalas. She lost it. She will
come and say, you know what? I don't
need anything from you. Just give me talaq
and murkholla.
Take everything back, my gold, take my money,
take everything.
Take my, Facebook account, take my email, just
take everything man, but just release me, just
divorce me. So he will take the money
and he will take this money and go
and marry someone else. And this is ul
Dhul. So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is telling
us, if you're ibadah,
it's for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in the
salahatam alfashadwalmukar,
then
out of respect for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
if salah has an impact on you, at
the time of this agreement, you should give
your wife her rights. And this is why
the ayah about salah is mentioned,
inside the ayah that talk about, divorce.
So sometimes you see that the ayah talk
about something and all of a sudden there
is something in the middle that talks about
something totally different.
And Allah of al Ahmad, they wrote about
this and they wrote actually, they authored books
on how to explain this and how to
connect
biya
together.
So if you just review the ayat in
the Quran, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is telling
us,
whenever you have a hard time, make salah.
If all the doors are closed for you,
make salah. And the examples are so many.
We mentioned the example of divorce. If someone
is going through a rough divorce, it is
very difficult, very tight, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
says hafidhu aal salah. Salah and Allah will
make a way out for you and will
make it easy for you. In the story
of Yunus alaihis salam when he was in
the belly of the whale, Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala says,
if it was not that Yunus alaihis salam
was making tasbih al salah
So if,
if if it was not for his salah,
the ulama say, either before he ended up
in the building of the whale or while
he was inside, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala would
have kept him there, meaning that the whale
would have become his grave.
But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala saved him just
because of his salah.
Salah means wasalah.
Salah.
Salah is connection, and this is the root
word in Arabic, wasalah, to connect. Salah is
basically a connection.
At the end of surahaj, walakadinaalamu
and nagadriosadruka
bi maya purum, Allah
Allah tells Muhammad
at the end of Surahish, I know that
their words
hurt you. They bother you. So what you
need to do?
Make salah and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will
make it easier for you. So this is
another example.
The Ayad will recite it from Surah Yunus.
Sounds familiar.
He shut down their places of worship. No
more masajid for you. Finished. Khalas.
Finished. You can't pray in masal. You just
get out. Tamam?
So he is trying to cut off this
connection with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Fa'amullah, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
Musa 'alayhi wa salam wa'hayna
ila Musa wa'hiinah
So
when Firawn made it illegal for Bani Israel
to pray
in,
their places of worship, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
told him,
turn your homes into masajid.
Pray in your homes and make dua and
give good news to those who have faith
in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And eventually Musa
alaihi wa sallam prayed and Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala
destroyed firaun because of the salah and because
of the dua. In the clear Quran we
put the title of the power of salah.
Right.
So every time you see the story of
Adam and Iblis in the Quran
where Iblis was asked to make sajdah to
Adam,
he refused.
You will see the surah talking about salah
in different places in the surah. And actually
the story of Adam and Iblis, Iblis being
asked to make sajdah to Adam 7 times
in the Quran.
3 of the 7 Surahs actually have sajdah
in them in order to make sajdah and
if we recite the ayah salah we we
make sajdah.
So for example, Abu Waheed Surat Al Baqarah.
Let's call it Al Malik, it is true
to the Adam.
So in Surah Baqarah where shaitan were placed
was asked to make sajd to Adam, he
refused.
In this Surah, in many places Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala is asking us to make sajdah
make salah
all over the Surah.
Surah tell you Surah Al Arab, it's kunal
malakat is judulal. Filamri Surah Al Arab tajid
fee nahadu Surah fee sajdun.
Walabu we ask judul,
sajdaf is surah.
So also the same thing in Sura Araf,
and Sura Araf actually has a sajdah. Sura
al Hijr.
At the end of the surah, tamaan umillah,
the order was given to the police to
be salah, he refused. At the end of
the surah, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is telling
Muhammad salaam, and by extension all of his
ummah, fasaddeghi
and
by extension all of his Ummah, fasaddi bihamdulillah
picka wukumminas sajdee.
Pray and make salja
at the end of the surah. Although the
story of the place is at the beginning
of the surah.
Fisura
Al Isra,
same thing. We gave the order to a
place to make salah, he refused.
Then after Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, aqimsaladalduu
kishamsi. The order. Make salah in the Surah,
and so on and so forth. And Surah
Istra actually has
a surdah day in qariqiroonal
kanisujalah. They make surdah to Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala and this is at the end of
Surah. Surah
We gave the order to at least to
make serdah but he refused.
In the same surah, Al Atakhi then Nalaalayhim
Masjidah.
We'll build a masjid or a place of
sujood over them. Masgit mumakarisudu.
So the order to make Surjidah is also
there.
Surah
At the end of the Surah, Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala gave the order to a place
to make sardah, he refused. At the beginning
of the Surah, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,
Waakimas salatal idiqil. Tamaamlamamam
ta'ala says, wa akhimasalatal
idiqil.
Ta ma'am? Lamri Saidna Musa Allah said to
Musa alayhi salam, make salah to remember me.
Finhaitil assua'aalakabasalati
wastaghalayhi.
Urge your family to make salah and be
patient with it.
And there's actually a sajdah in Surasat
where the order was given to Dawud alaihis
salam to make surja to Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala.
So these ayaat are dispersed throughout the Quran,
and and these amazing points are there,
like gyms and pearls.
All you need to do is is dive
and you have to read and reflect so
you can able you will be able to
come up with them inshaAllah. We ask Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala and wa alimana min fa'alum
minifanam alimana.
We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to give
us beneficial knowledge and give us the best
in this life and the best in the
life to come and give us sincerity in
everything we say and do.
