			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.
