			So now I can be here. So the title
		

			definitely speaks to something that a lot of people don't know about, which is that the Prophet
sallallahu wasallam had set the people home for today in a very interesting Hadeeth in two
narrations, in fact that we look at one of them as the headache of zaidan without authority a lot of
time I'm home where they go the length of time who says that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
took a room made of date, palm tree, date palm leaves, Max in the masjid and then the prophets why
Selim he prayed for a few nights in the masjid in Ramadan until the people started to gather behind
him in the mustard. So this is basically total we and so on the fourth night, the people did not
		

			hear the voice of the prophet SAW the love or use them leading the prayer and they thought that he
had slept so to give you some context, the Prophet slicin them was praying in the masjid in the
nights of Ramadan total we have prayer today he has a later name to describe cleome in Ramadan, the
night prayer and Ramadan. And as the companions were finding out they were quickly gathering behind
him on a nightly basis to a point that another narration says the doors of the masjid were bursting
open and that the message was completely full. So this isn't just the 21st century phenomenon, the
message become fuller in Ramadan, even with the Sahaba of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and as they
		

			were gathering behind the Prophet slicin of the first night, then the second night and the third
night and word was quickly spreading that the Prophet slicin them was leading pm in the masjid and
Ramadan. On the fourth night, the Prophet slicin um, did not come out and the people did not hear
his voice in recitation. So some of them went by his door, they waited by the door of the Prophet
sly, some for some time. And then they started to, you know, make a humming sound or to make some
sort of sound hoping that it would cause the prophets license to come out. Then the prophets, I
seldom said that you continued doing what I saw you doing until I was afraid that this prayer might
		

			become enjoined upon you it might become mandatory for you and if it were enjoined upon you, you
would not be able to continue performing it. Therefore, people perform your prayers at your homes
for the best prayer of a person is what is performed at his home except for the October except for
the mandatory prayers. So this idea of the Prophet sly setup is telling the people to pray their
total prayers at home and it was in his lifetime and in fact, the Prophet slicin I'm only led the
companions in prayer for three nights now why is it still a sin? for us because the prophets lie
some established it as a sin to pray in the masjid and the prophets lysozyme said Temasek will be
		

			sending a tea to hold on to my son and the son of the holy fatwa Sabine at the end of the
		

			rightly guided caliphs and Amato, the love of Tata and who gathered the people. As they were praying
in smaller congregations. In the Ramadan nights, he gathered the people once again, behind a single
Imam, to revive what the prophet slicin has started, because the fear that it would become throttled
was no longer there. So the prophets license fear was that it would become obligatory on the people
to perform it as such, if they continue to do it on a regular basis, and they were no longer able to
distinguish it. So that was the wisdom of the prophets lysozyme and obviously, divinely guided to
ensure that it was still looked at as a sooner it was looked at as a voluntary prayer, and not a
		

			mandatory prayer. Now, there are all sorts of discussions to come at this from come out of this room
50 perspective, one of them from the sense of jurisprudence, is it then better to pray at home? Even
one subtle way has taken place in the masjid? Is it better to pray at home? Or is it better to pray
with the congregation in total, we so that's a difference of opinion that the scholars maintained
about whether it was better to pray in Tel Aviv in the masjid the pm in the Muslim Ramadan or to
pray pm at home. But I want to speak to how important this is to us right now. Understanding this
particular hobby for us right now. And these narrations for us right now. The profits by selling
		

			them feared that people would turn telawi in the masjid into an obligatory act, if it continued as
such. Now, for us, obviously, that fear is not there. We know it's a sin, that it's a beautiful sin,
and it's established by the Sahaba. So it shouldn't be revived. It should always be in the massage.
And while they feed off on the individual of whether they should go join those prayers in the
masjid. It's our practice and the practice of the son of them forever that tidal wave remains in the
muscles and the people can join and in the massager they're alive in the nights of Ramadan. But how
do we actually take some benefit from this for ourselves? Number one, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
		

			wa sallam was concerned about people making it a foul. But there's also something else that we
should not we should not make our E by that our acts of worship, dependent upon those institutions
as they exist. Now when I say those institutions, the massages are there, and we need the massages.
But our salon should not only be in the massage, it's on the profits license that keep a share of
your salon, for your homes, a share of your prayers for your homes, don't turn them into graveyards,
prayer in the masjid still has to be done, the honor of the most of them is still there. But you
have to be able to carry that prayer outside of the masjid, you've got to be able to bring some of
		

			it home, you've got to be able to pray for them at home, you've got to be able to have some sort of
established practice at home. And the prophets license insisted upon that, though he loved it, his
slotless allowed his prayer in the masjid in the night and in the day. But the prophet sly son
wanted to set an example and wanted people to understand that they needed to learn how to pray at
home, they needed to assign a prayer for themselves at home, this little blonde in particular, while
while there are you know, some fatawa that are coming out about praying total, we have behind the
screen, which by the way, I mean, I personally, you know, my scholars and my teachers and, and I'm
		

			ashamed to even see myself when I say my scholars and my teachers and the Musharraf and the
established councils that we have, you know, the vast majority. And when I say the vast majority, I
mean, the vast majority would not approve of such a thing. And I would caution and in particular to
say that when we're in a temporary time of need, we should not do things that could alter our
trajectory permanently. Okay, so this is a temporary pandemic button. And anytime we pray that we
never have to have to hold on again, where we where we can't have our total we had our massages and
things of that sort. And it would be a problem for us to do something now where people start praying
		

			to other women behind screens going forward. So even if it's enough enough, it's a voluntary prayer.
And obviously there is some flexibility that's afforded to voluntary prayers that's not afforded to
Juma prayers and mandatory prayers. Still, we should not alter the trajectory permanently because of
how we're feeling right now temporarily. That's number one. Number two, we can still take the wisdom
and the benefit and say yeah, Allah if we are able to establish the an at home consistently for 30
days. How amazing would it be if that pm after normal button continues in our homes, even if it's
just two hours a night, how amazing of a transformation in our own lives and our spiritual lives if
		

			we're able to take that total week, which is just beyond the normal blonde and let it transfer over
and BPM for the rest of the year but the 90 Tada where we always pray just too close to dark eyes,
even every single
		

			When I did the 90 Tyler and we maintain that connection. So this is a gift from a loss of Hannah
Montana. And if the Prophet sallallahu wasallam saw that there was wisdom and benefit and sending
the people home for a different reason that at that time that there was a there was a risk that it
would become a fuddled for the people then certainly for us for us we can see the wisdom of Allah
subhanaw taala redirecting us so that we can pray to Allah we had our homes and we can learn the the
beautiful practice of praying in the night at home and in the night out a lot. So gel will not just
give us the reward of this special Ramadan but the reward of the deeds that continue and inshallah
		

			tada tada we in Ramadan in 2021 in the lifetime of next year should Allah give us life would be so
much more fulfilling so much better it would have such a deep connection for us inshallah tada we're
going to be longing for that next Hold on You know when you talk about the Sahaba that that Mr.
Ramadan for six months after long for it for six months before we're going to be longing for that
next to hold on to the night out and maybe like the Sahaba six months in advance but underlying
Thailand though certainly the condition of our hearts will never be like the condition of their
hearts. So the essential message is that we need to learn to be independent of place and time with
		

			our ibadah
		

			to the extent that we continue to perform to them even when we don't have that time and that place
okay and that's why every year when the scholars say that the sign of successful double bond is the
continuation of deeds after what then of piano lead what then of the night prayer in the 19 Tyler if
we're able to continue with after and certainly if the companions were able to maintain that deep
connection with a lot as an adult and continue you just know some how to learn Do you really think
that when bubble bucket and on earth not in IE we're no longer able to pray total we send the
message to the Prophet slicin Um Do you really think that they weren't praying to Allah we had home
		

			that Ramadan? Of course they were right of course they were. So while we miss our total we had our
massages and we look forward to that and established as a center in the massage and in the communal
sense. at an individual level. There is so much wisdom so much benefit to us gaining the love and
the pleasure of frankly I'ma live at home didn't rely entirely on these nights of Ramadan. So May
Allah subhanaw taala enable us to pray Our prayers at home with the same quality and with the same
love and with the same longing for him that we would had we had those massages And may Allah Subhana
which Allah connect us to him and just as we feel connected to the houses of Allah subhana wa tada
		

			May Allah make us of people that connect to a lot in our own houses as well. May Allah subhanho wa
Taala allow us to taste the sweetness of beyond this fold on title weaken this song along in our
homes and gain the habit of pm that will outlive this normal blonde and let it be a habit that we
stick with the name Tyler until the moment of our death And may Allah subhanaw taala raise us as
people have raised us as people of prayer a lot to me. So inshallah time just to remind you all
