Omar Suleiman – Angels in your Presence #23

			What I always tell people is going to make or break the quality of your Salah. The quality of your
prayer is what you do before and after the prayer. Just like with anything else, it goes back to the
preparation. And so if you're someone that just jumps into prayer without any preparation, or even
if you're on your way to the masjid and you're listening to the radio, taking phone calls, whatever
it is, there's such a difference between a person that takes the time to declutter all that's in the
mind and get themselves ready than someone who just tries to jump between this and that,
particularly when it comes to their prayers.
		

			And one of the things that you should do with your prayer, just like when we're talking about Juma,
we're talking about the Friday prayer if you just took the habit of certain calf and you made it a
point to say, I'm going to read source of calf before Juma in the masjid, so you get the reward of
reading sorts of calf on Friday, and you would have already got there early enough before to assure
that you're in the rulebook of the angels. Likewise, when it comes to the prayer, the best way to
maintain a daily with which is a regimen of remembrance of Allah subhanaw taala. The best way to
maintain a daily recitation of the Quran of however many pages it is, or some sort of regimen of
		

			supplication is to connect it to your prayer. So I'm going to do two pages of put on before each
prayer two pages after that would cause me to finish a job every day. Or I'll do one page of Quran
per prayer, or I'll do half a page, or I'll finish this set of remembrances right but that's going
to keep you in your place of prayer. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that the angels
continue to pray upon you when you are in your place of prayer. So long as you don't break your
window and you don't move. They keep on praying upon you and saying Allah, Allahu Allah. Allah,
Allah, Allah, Allah Muhammad, Allah forgive him, Allah have mercy on him, Allah forgive him, Allah
		

			have mercy on him. So the angels are constantly showering you with those drives. When you stay in
your place of prayer. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam specifically mentioned this by the
way, when it comes to going to the masjid if you could connect two prayers to each other and you
could choose the ones that have the shortest duration between them. So you say, I'm going to stay
between Muslims and Asia once a week or once a month but the point is, is that you choose to prayers
that are close to each other. And you say I'm going to use the time between them to remember Allah
subhanaw taala to connect back with my Lord. The Prophet said a lot I said I'm set Should I not tell
		

			you of deeds that cause a lot to obliterate your sins and elevate your ranks? And also homicide What
is it oh messenger of Allah the Prophet sighs I'm said three things. He said when you do will do and
you do it thoroughly to the extremities make sure that you get every part thoroughly and you
increase your whole lot your stuffs to the most. And you stay in the masjid between two prayers and
the prophets license of daddy commodity bot that that is like a person who is on guard and battle
except the enemy here is your knifes, right? You're you're doing Rajat headed to knifes you're
striving against yourself. And so it's like you're holding a station, a particular part of battle
		

			when you're between market of inertia. And that is a way by which I lost my hands on obliterates
your sins and elevates your ranks. The prophets lie Selim he also in one beautiful narration, I'm
loving what I'm Rasul Allah Han, who says that we were sitting in the masjid between Muslims and
Asia, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he ran back after the Salah. And he said that the
Prophet slicin was pulling up his garments, and he was running so fast that he was short of breath
solahart he was so them to tell us something urgent. And the Prophet sallallahu wasallam said to us,
that have you been here for this entire time between these two prayers? And they said yes, and the
		

			prophets lie some set us that one of the gates of heaven just opens and Allah was boasting about you
to the angels you bet he became one melodica and Allah subhana wa tada set to those angels own
little everybody. Look at my servants look at the servants of mine, but follow karela wilhelminian
saw they don't want to Osama they finished one obligatory prayer and they're waiting for the next
one. And so anytime you can think about how to package your remembrance package your your own
reading package or a lot your regimens around the prayer then do so because that entire time those
angels are going to stay with you and continue to send their prayers upon you.
