Is it true that the faster Ramadan is not accepted by Allah if one

00:00:03 --> 00:00:06

does not pray the obligatory Salah. So there's a big difference

00:00:06 --> 00:00:11

between validity and reward. An act can be valid, because you did

00:00:11 --> 00:00:14

all the outward requirements of the act. That doesn't mean you got

00:00:14 --> 00:00:18

the reward of it. I can, in fact, be sinful to, I can do my full

00:00:18 --> 00:00:22

prayer and leave with sins. But my salah is valid, like what? Imagine

00:00:22 --> 00:00:25

you walk into a room and you start praying, then suddenly, by

00:00:25 --> 00:00:28

accident, the cat hits the TV and the TV Turns On now the entire

00:00:28 --> 00:00:31

prayer, you prayed it properly with your body, but your eyes was

00:00:31 --> 00:00:35

on the TV, your ears on the TV, and you're like following what's

00:00:35 --> 00:00:38

happening on the TV intentionally. So you physically did everything

00:00:38 --> 00:00:41

required. Nobody could say that your prayer is invalid. But

00:00:41 --> 00:00:43

between you and Allah, you know that you were paying attention to

00:00:43 --> 00:00:47

the TV the whole time. So you may actually walk away from that valid

00:00:47 --> 00:00:51

prayer with more since same thing with the sisters asking here, a

00:00:51 --> 00:00:54

person fast but they don't pray. This is a confused person who

00:00:54 --> 00:00:57

needs help, because it's much easier to pray than to fast. And

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59

I'll tell you the solution to this person.
