Dear brothers and sisters, Assalamu Alaikum
Warahmatullahi
wabarakatuh.
Welcome back again to our series,
about
maximizing
prayer or maximize
the value of your prayer.
And today, Insha'Allah, we will have,
you know, the verses from Surat Maryam,
blessed Mary,
and how Allah
mentioned,
all the prophets and the messengers
1 by 1
until
the end that Allah,
referred to all the previous prophets and the
messengers.
We trying to
prove that the salah was obligated
upon all the previous messengers and the prophets
before our beloved prophet Muhammad,
peace be upon him.
And today, we will have
a a a verse in Surat Maryam
that Allah,
concluded
talking about
all the prophets and the messenger in the
chapter of Mary.
And Allah says,
Those
where
they enter
whom Allah,
bestow bestow
his grace
upon them
from
all the messengers and the prophet of Allah,
and he count
the offspring of
our forefather Adam
and the people that Allah saved them,
with prophet Noah in the ship
in the time
of flood.
And also
Ibrahim,
the offspring
of prophet Ibrahim.
Ibrahim,
peace be upon him,
which is Prophet Israel,
which is Prophet Yaqub
Jokab.
You know, Israel
has a
also
amongst, you
know,
what we guided all the the prophets and
the messengers and the people that we guided.
And we choose them.
And what Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala explain
their statement and their conditions.
When
the verses
or ayat
of Allah subhanahu ta'ala of, you know, the
compassionate,
the most compassionate
was recited
upon them,
they prostrated themselves.
And sudud means
to prostrate yourself, and this is the essential
action of the prayer.
And they were
crying while
prostrating themselves.
And the the proof now that Allah
explained
their conditions.
This is the closest
actions
when they
used to hear the verses of Allah Subhanahu
Ta'ala.
The the the revelations that Allah Subhanahu Ta'ala
revealed
to them. When they when they hear these
verses,
they prostrate
themselves right away,
for the sake of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And the prostrations
is
a most important action,
during the salah.
And, to make it more clear for all
of us to realize that,
and we will recite the following verse
after we make prostration.
We will find Allah
mention about,
you know, the offsprings
of all those prophets and the messengers of
Allah. What did Allah say about them?
SubhanAllah.
Then
there has,
you know,
other, there has their offspring,
they came after them. And what they did,
the offspring they did,
they
they give
up prayers,
and this is very bad condition.
Very bad situation
when the person decides
not to pray,
and this is really he choose to to
make it hard for himself
or herself. And Allah says,
They do not care about salah anymore.
They give up prayers.
And this is, you know,
it's fair
when when the person really perform prayers,
when the person
has a chance
to be connected with his Lord,
while prayer every single day.
You know, this is the promise from Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala that Allah
will protect him or her.
And if the person choose not to pray,
it will be easy for that person to
go astray,
to follow his own desires.
And the result of that, the consequences
of giving up
prayers.
They follow
the desires.
They did not
follow the religion of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
anymore. And this is why Allah mentioned in
the verse, other verse.
Indeed.
The the prayer
will protect
the person
to to deal with the bad situation or
with the,
major sin or even with the minor sin.
And this is why
Allah
mentioned
about the next generations
after the prophets and the messengers,
their offsprings.
And they will be throwing
into hellfire.
They will be throwing
into
the the the fire in the day of
judgment.
Except
one kind only, the one who choose to
repent back to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Except the one who rebents
to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
and he believes in Allah Azzawajal
and he does
righteous
deeds.
These the 3 conditions or 3,
for the person
to repent back to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
If the person skipped prayer for a while
and he or she needs to wake up
and to repent back to Allah and to
make up the prayer that they missed in
their
life.
For those who repent to Allah and who
believed in Allah and who did righteous deeds,
you know, they will enter into,
paradise
in easy way.
Allah will not
wrong them. Allah will
melt Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will reward them
for their actions, and he will increase
their rewards from his side. Almighty Allah,
out of his bounty.
Now we have to just summarize
what we try to explain
that the prayer
is
obligation.
The prayer was
obligated
upon all the previous messengers and the prophets
before Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam. And this is the proof from
the Quran that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
referred
to all the previous messengers and the prophet.
And Allah says,
all those,
messengers
from
