00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			And Allah says,
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:16
			Those
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:21
			where
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			our forefather Adam
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48
			and the people that Allah saved them,
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			with prophet Noah in the ship
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52

			which is Prophet Yaqub
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			Jokab.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			You know, Israel
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			has a
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			also
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			amongst, you
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			know,
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:29
			what we guided all the the prophets and
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			the messengers and the people that we guided.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			And we choose them.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			And what Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala explain
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			their statement and their conditions.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:42
			When
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			the verses
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			or ayat
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:52
			of Allah subhanahu ta'ala of, you know, the
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:52
			compassionate,
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			the most compassionate
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:55
			was recited
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:57
			upon them,
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			they prostrated themselves.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			And sudud means
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:08
			to prostrate yourself, and this is the essential
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			action of the prayer.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			And they were
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			crying while
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			prostrating themselves.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			And the the proof now that Allah
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:24
			explained
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			their conditions.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			This is the closest
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			actions
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30
			when they
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:34
			used to hear the verses of Allah Subhanahu
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:34
			Ta'ala.
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:38
			The the the revelations that Allah Subhanahu Ta'ala
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:38
			revealed
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:42
			to them. When they when they hear these
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:42
			verses,
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			they prostrate
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46
			themselves right away,
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			for the sake of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			And the prostrations
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			is
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			a most important action,
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			during the salah.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:59
			And, to make it more clear for all
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			of us to realize that,
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			and we will recite the following verse
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			after we make prostration.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			We will find Allah
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			mention about,
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			you know, the offsprings
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			of all those prophets and the messengers of
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17
			Allah. What did Allah say about them?
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:21
			SubhanAllah.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:23
			Then
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:25
			there has,
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			you know,
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			other, there has their offspring,
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33
			they came after them. And what they did,
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			the offspring they did,
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			they
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			they give
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			up prayers,
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			and this is very bad condition.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			Very bad situation
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			when the person decides
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			not to pray,
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:52
			and this is really he choose to to
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			make it hard for himself
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			or herself. And Allah says,
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			They do not care about salah anymore.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			They give up prayers.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			And this is, you know,
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			it's fair
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:17
			when when the person really perform prayers,
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			when the person
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			has a chance
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			to be connected with his Lord,
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			while prayer every single day.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			You know, this is the promise from Allah
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala that Allah
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:34
			will protect him or her.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			And if the person choose not to pray,
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			it will be easy for that person to
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			go astray,
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			to follow his own desires.
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			And the result of that, the consequences
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:52
			of giving up
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:53
			prayers.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57
			They follow
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:58
			the desires.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			They did not
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:04
			follow the religion of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			anymore. And this is why Allah mentioned in
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			the verse, other verse.
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:13
			Indeed.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			The the prayer
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			will protect
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:18
			the person
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			to to deal with the bad situation or
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			with the,
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:26
			major sin or even with the minor sin.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			And this is why
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:30
			Allah
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:31
			mentioned
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			about the next generations
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			after the prophets and the messengers,
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:37
			their offsprings.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			And they will be throwing
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			into hellfire.
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			They will be throwing
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:53
			into
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			the the the fire in the day of
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			judgment.
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			Except
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01
			one kind only, the one who choose to
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			repent back to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			Except the one who rebents
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			and he believes in Allah Azzawajal
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			and he does
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:15
			righteous
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:16
			deeds.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:19
			These the 3 conditions or 3,
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:22
			for the person
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:25
			to repent back to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:28
			If the person skipped prayer for a while
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:31
			and he or she needs to wake up
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			and to repent back to Allah and to
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:37
			make up the prayer that they missed in
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:38
			their
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:43
			life.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:51
			For those who repent to Allah and who
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55
			believed in Allah and who did righteous deeds,
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			you know, they will enter into,
		
00:07:59 --> 00:07:59
			paradise
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:01
			in easy way.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:07
			Allah will not
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			wrong them. Allah will
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			melt Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will reward them
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:15
			for their actions, and he will increase
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:19
			their rewards from his side. Almighty Allah,
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			out of his bounty.
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			Now we have to just summarize
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			what we try to explain
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:32
			that the prayer
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:33
			is
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:34
			obligation.
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			The prayer was
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			obligated
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:41
			upon all the previous messengers and the prophets
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:44
			before Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:47
			Alaihi Wasallam. And this is the proof from
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:50
			the Quran that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:51
			referred
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:54
			to all the previous messengers and the prophet.
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:56
			And Allah says,
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:01
			all those,
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:02
			messengers
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:03
			from
