Want to get the most benefit from
God either the Hon may not pray from Spain the masters of property
economy. People business the mosque may not pray outside
Vietnam the year
okay, so yeah, the, if you hear the message then with a voice with
voice and no amplification, we're obligated to pray in the master,
the adult male is obligated to pay semester. Okay, keep going.
After that all of us
keep this up until you break up, you speak about worldly matters,
and get up to me.
Yeah, if you can, if you have the time. When you pray, and you Salam
out of the prayer, if, as when you're sitting there, room, if you
remain seated, okay, during doing other prayers, or supplicating, or
doing anything or even just remaining silent,
the angels are preying upon you and blessing you and asking for
mercy and forgiveness for you. As long as you're staying there. As
soon as you get up and start doing something else. Those angels will
leave.
Okay, keep going.
In the latter days will be members of my community who come to the
mosque. Talking about this question. You're not sitting there
for a while. Okay, good, good. So this is people who there are
certain times you should never do this. Like for example, if the guy
if the man called the event, and we're all sitting there waiting,
okay. Everyone's waiting to pray. That's extra time it's frowned
upon to talk about worldly matters, right? There are times
where it it's permissible, such as in over food or what have you.
Okay to go.
Revealed mastermind houses on my earth, and visitors are those who
frequent supply purifies himself in his own house. In business
meeting. The host has a duty to educate his guests. In this world,
no matter how recent your house no matter how you feel.
When you go to
the show, they just
keep going
to DCMS even in the mosque in the past by Thursday.
You had the Messiah said we want to set the master that is sitting
in the company of the board. So he has no right to say anything that
is not good. It's probably one of the proponents who said gossip in
the master students good deeds as animals
that they used Timothy to walk into the mosque on a dark night
gave a guarantee for Paradise companion and ask him a week said
to someone installs a ladder in a mosque to induce in the bearers of
the heavenly throne. Do not cease to beg forgiveness for his sins as
long as that bear continues to win the demo.
Will you make a we got an Oval Office Councilman said
when a man dies, he is worn by case a prayer by the face of
Heaven too which is good deeds have ascended in he started the
reverse referring to Pharaoh in undated followers.
All right, so we actually believe that the sign of a believer is
actually has a lot to do with the nature of their funeral. Right if
their funeral is attended by many, if there funeral is a time in
which
you know, people are out and they came out of nowhere and print
supplicating for this person and praying for this person. We
believe that that's a sign and Allah says in the Quran, we give
you signs of your destiny, or your other worldly destiny. We give you
signs in this world. Okay, Quranic verses Lomo. Bushra. Phil had to
dunya they have Bushra which is good news in this world. So when
you see someone died, and many, many believers are at his funeral
praying for him. Okay, this is a good sign. We don't believe that
rain is a bad sign. Right? Rain is not a bad sign. Many people think
that it's a bad thing. Well, we don't believe that it's a bad
sign. Okay, so
we don't really like make hard and fast statements about this, but we
can take little signs that are make people optimistic about the
person who just died.
Okay, keep going.
The ground will testify for you on the Day of Judgment for this
reason
to love Facebook
Yeah, they're there. It's a tradition of many Muslims is that
when they travel, if they're traveling by car, to pray only at
mosques on the way. So instead of like pulling over and praying at a
restaurant, find a masjid and pray at that mosque, wherever you're
going. And now it's really easy. There's a website.
I think it's called zubia.org. Right, and it has an app. That's
amazing. Wherever you type it, you just type in us your location, and
then type in the mile radius that you want five miles, 1020 miles.
And it'll just give you a list of mosques. Right? It'll give you a
list of massages, and you tap it, and then it will go to Google.
What is it called? Is it.com Right? or.org.
Yeah.
Okay, good. So I'll take I'll text it to everyone. Right? And then
you get this app, it'll just tell you where the month and it's it's
they've mapped it really amazingly there. You can go to Alaska, it'll
have a list. Right? So you type in the state you're at which part of
the state and I'll just give you the list. And helps us be
connected to Allah's house also gives you the list of Halal
restaurants, right. And usually where there are mosques, there are
humans and where there are humans there are restaurants right they
need to eat. So wherever there's gonna be a masjid, there is most
likely going to be a halal restaurant, somewhere nearby that
you can eat.
Okay, so now as for the nature of the masajid, and the time of the
Prophet peace be upon him. Physically the most used to be
rectangles. All right. So let's take this book, for example. Say
the master was this book, the rectangle?
Let's say the Qibla is this way, just like the masjid here, the
Qibla is this way. So what would they do? This area here would be
covered.
They they built pillars or palm trees or what have you dig them
into the earth and cover this area? Okay, so that it would be
shaded. And then all around here, you'd have entrances, doorways all
the way around except for the front. So no one's going to enter
facing the people who while they pray. Okay, so all the entrances
will be around the side. Okay, in the prophet's mosque, I think they
had eight entrances, alright, two on each side, or three on this
side, three on this side and two on the, from the back. And this
pot was open and open to the sky. And then they had the wall of the
mosque was basically the size of maybe six feet high or something
made of clay. And that was it. That was the Prophet's mosque.
Okay, there was a couple of palm trees. In the actual mosque, there
was nothing on the floor of the mosque. There were no rugs,
definitely no rugs, and no, not even
straw mats. They didn't even have straw mats. So the Sahaba the
Companions used to go to the masjid with the shoes on, right
because there weren't rugs or straw mats. And that's basically
it was a practice Prophet his whole lifetime. Until later on,
they started putting straw mats to cover the Masjid.
So that that's how the now when the Muslims built mosques outside,
when they left and they expanded, they built it like this. They
would build it build the masjid that it was a rectangle facing the
Qibla. And then it was covered in the front open in the open in the
the main body of it was open to the sky, of course North Africa.
And then you're not gonna have rain Arabia, they're not gonna
have rain, except very rarely. And then the prophets houses were
here. The prophets. He lived right here. So he lived in an apartment
attached to the masjid. Okay.
And so when the when the Muslims would build masajid afterwards,
they would actually the ruler of that city, the governor would live
literally attached to the mosque. And back in the day, the governor,
the leader of the Army, the Imam, and the teacher of religion was
all the same person, just like the Prophet, right? So it was all the
same person. Eventually, things got separated. And the person who
has knowledge is not the person who memorized the Quran, and the
person who rules is not the person who leads the prayer and things
got separated. But that was basically the base base way to
build a mosque was either a rectangle or a square later on,
they just started making squares. Alright, and then the dome. The
dome has actually nothing to do with religion. It's just a
cultural thing. And the Muslims got it. It's became associated
with Muslim with mosque with Muslim culture, but the the
Prophet's mosque did not have a dome and the dome was actually
borrowed by the Arabs from the Christians, when the Christians
when the Arabs got to Jerusalem, and they wanted to build a
monument on top of the area in which the Prophet peace be upon
him, ascended to paradise. Okay.
How did they build that monument? They looked at the Church of
The Holy Sepulchre, which is believed in which that's where
Mary was met, praying her whole youth during her youth, okay, and
where the angel Jibreel touched her, her stomach, and Jesus was
imparted into her stomach Alehissalaam so that Chris has
built the church of the Holy Sepulchre on top of that little
prayer space. Okay, so that dome is exactly the same size, a
slightly smaller as the Dome of the Rock, that that beautiful blue
building. Alright, with a golden dome on top of it that you see in
all the pictures of Jerusalem. That is the first dome built in
Islam. And since then, it just became a habit that the Muslims
did to build a dome. And it became common that that's what a mosque
looks like. But that's really just more historical than part of our
religion. That's not necessarily that you have to build a dome on
the Masjid. But the Muslims liked it, and they kept on to it. If you
go to West Africa, none of the mosques have domes, Morocco, West
Africa, they just don't know that cold south part of their culture.
When they left Arabia, they would know the Qibla usually just they
would estimate it by looking at the sun or the stars. And in fact,
a lot of times they were wrong. Right. And in in Morocco, Fez, if
you go to the oldest mosque in Fez, it's called the Corinthian
mosque in Fez. When everyone stands up for prayer, let's say
their face, it's all everyone's facing one direction, they all
have to shift a little bit. Because they built the masjid like
15 degrees off. So you, you'll notice that everyone who goes
there has to turn a little bit, and they pray slanted, because
they didn't want to rebuild the whole mosque. So a lot of times
they got it wrong. Right. And there's a generous gap, right? So
90 degrees, like we said, generous space, when they got to India,
right? When they got to India, all the early mosques, the Qibla was,
you know, way off, but it was within the general vicinity, north
or east or west, or what have you. And later on, they, when they had
compasses. They were able to make them and maps and whatnot. They
were able to fix those.
So that's what the shapes of that's what the shape of the
mosque is supposed to be like, rectangle, rectangle, something
like this.
All right. Any questions on that before we move on?
Yep.
That you can do that.
Oh, good. I did. Good question. Firstly, a couple of things that
the Prophet said about the Masjid. He said, keep that which is noisy
away, such as anyone insane, right? Keep them away. Children
who are making too much noise keep them away. Why? Because you're
you're disrupting the worshipers. Now let's say the question now in
a prayer hall versus a mosque
for number one.
Men who are upon Geneva or women who are upon Geneva or height
menstruation, can't enter a mosque, right?
cannot enter a mosque there's
that's the majority view.
There's a minority view that they that the women upon menstruation
can enter the mosque, right, they can't enter the mosque. But men
and women when they're upon Geneva, in other words, they just
had sexual *, they cannot enter a masjid in that
state, they have to wash first
the dress code in the mosque has to be the dress code of how you
would pray.
Right. Whereas that's not the case in a prayer hall.
Basically, anything that would disrupt the worshipers would not
take place in a mosque
unless it's sort of organized by them. So those are the just the
main things, the dress code, the noise,
these types of things would not be allowed in msgid.
So there's much more sanctity in a space dedicated as a mosque than
an open prayer hall. And really, at this point in time, the
smartest thing for us to do is to have you're going to have a big
center with all your multipurpose rooms and what have you. And then
a place for the prayer instead of trying to make all everything
happen in one space. Right have a place for the prayer. So that's
probably in the future. That's what everyone will be will be
doing. Since you don't want to have a
wedding in the same place that you pray someone might be disrupted or
what have you. But for the time being, it's working so inshallah
it will continue to do so.
Alright, let's go to page 74. Let's start with some. You have
enough light to read. Yep,
Yeah
definitely.
Yeah
definitely the women the men and women in the time of the Prophet
all prayed in the masjid. Okay. And the Prophet peace be upon him
did state that the woman when she prays at home, okay? Also has the
reward why? Why did he say that this is comes from a number of
Hadith in which women who were too busy to go to the masjid because
of children or because of certain duties okay? They were complaining
to the Prophet peace be upon him and saying we're unable to go to
the messenger All right, the Prophet peace be upon him said
your prayer in your home okay with your intention to be at the masjid
is equivalent to your reward. Okay in the masjid.
So yes, that applies. Now there's another thing too as Ramadan is
coming in a couple months, the Prophet peace be upon him noticed
that the men are praying while in the middle of the night, while
their wives are preparing their food for them. Sure. Right. So the
Prophet peace be upon him, made a proclamation and said the woman
who is preparing food on the stove for her family, okay has the
reward of prayer. Okay has an equal reward to the prayer. So
that's the degree to which the Prophet peace be upon him went to
balance the actual realities of what happens in life with a
woman's desire to have reward. All right Isha used to pray in the
mosque.
She prayed all her prayers in the masjid, during the lifetime of the
Prophet peace be upon him. Almost all Marvin cooktop wants to told
his wife don't pray in the mosque anymore. Right? And she said, why
the Prophet peace be upon him in his time. We always prayed in the
masjid. He said, No, the people are different now. Right? The
people are not the same.
This is like way after the death of the Prophet peace be upon. So
she said you can you cannot stop me from praying to the masjid. So
she said fine. She went and prayed fetcher and the next day are
purposely prayed fetcher at the beginning of the time when it was
dark, okay, and prayed very quickly. So that after the prayer
was still dark, he then went around the back of the masjid,
looked for his wife, and then found her on the way home and gave
her a smack on the rear end and ran away.
So the next day, he said,
he said, I didn't see you going to the masjid anymore. What happened?
She said, You're right. The people are not the same anymore. Okay, so
Omar, we're gonna cut up he didn't want his wife going out at that
time, in the dark. Okay, so he had to actually do that little trick
on it. But anyway, that was just a little side thing. But the reality
is that
if a woman makes the intention to pray in the masjid,
and she prays in her house, because of required means to be
home, she gets the reward of praying in the masjid. Okay, and
there are other Hadith that say it's preferable for women to pray
at home. And this is the case when the public sphere is immoral or an
urn or basically not good or unsafe or dangerous or what have
you.
In Ramadan, is it the same blessing of you premium last year?
I actually, no,
it's not. In terms of reward.
There isn't much said about it. Right. So what we distinguish
between a message and a prayer hall is mainly not in terms of
reward in terms of legality of it. So the reward will be the same any
place that the Muslims agreed to set up for prayer, the angels come
and they write the same reward to same reward.
All right, let's go to the next part. Who's the Sima Europe page
74.
The Friday
it's really it is what did the time ensure residents, free male
prisoners, Bedouin nomads, travelers and women
can create
is a pretty
it takes the place of
coupon
aside from the above for maturity, residence freedom and the main
question regarding the number
All right, this word McHale Levine is the plural for those who are
obligated to
radium so the macula Fein are all mature resident free male Muslims.
The word McCullough means obligated. So McHale Levine is the
plural of the obligated people to pray this and that is again mature
resident free male Muslims. Okay, so what is the number required?
How many all right and we'll get to that keep going.
There is no next one is from the
Imam, Abu Hanifa church that three suffices since Juma derives from
gen two, which is the Arabic language because three
leaks
Malika
Shafi and
Alright, so the word Juma derives from the word Gemma which means
literally plural Gemma means plural or collection. And in the
Arabic language we have singular dual and plural in English we have
singular and plural in Arabic, we have singular, dual, and plural.
Okay, so how many people need to be at Joomla? If you have three,
okay, you should establish Juma according to Imam Abu Hanifa. All
right, and then so the scholars differ on it there's no one hard
and fast number on it. So just to be on the safe side we'll say
three if there are three Muslims in a place they should establish
Jama okay keep going
the presence of a police is a requirement
the basis for this is that there's no
it was instituted in the
United States those who
do not often do not fall
for the cancellation of Student Affairs the rabbit hole for as
long as we only
practical
good keep going
this summer is to begin two and three four
but it is permissible to delay slightly to
ask for attendance there is a difference of opinion according to
the person
at least one way has been completed before the incentive
but you may have
began in the door
even fatigue
through trial and error to
the last thing is as
soon after the surgery
getting medicine
it's the birth to certainly take the place of the first to watch
out
for any other career one complete and entirely
in order to have made
an omelet
All right, so why does this matter because in some places
that begins over let's say at 130 because that's when people's lunch
breaks begin right you actually might end up overflowing into
austere time in the winter for example, if you go north the days
in the wintertime the days shrunk or a real the prayer times come
one after the other so in some places conceivably Ossur might be
at 215 So you might end up spilling Jomar might spill into
Ossur time and what is said about that is that at least the first
serve first half sermon the first sermon before he sits down should
be completed before author time and then it's okay to spill into
author time
all right keep going
on begin with sensible means into market etc such an opportunity
to gather financial aid exposure to national
security sphere as populations grew the ruling created to allow
for multiple
first aid
that a second
this too was given the need in some cases.
All right so just to give you an idea you get this you understand
this a lot better when you you know how Islam spread when the
Muslims spread when you see the map right has heavy
Have you seen this map that says when the Prophet was alive this
Islam was really covered part of the Arabian Peninsula. Right
before his death, it was like mostly the Arabian Peninsula.
During the time of Omar, it spread to Syria and Persian. Time off,
man, it's all the way out to Western to North Africa. And you
see this huge like, usually they start coloring and get green. And
then by by 100 years, like one quarter of the known world is
green. And that's where Islam spread. But don't confuse that
with now all of a sudden, all these people are Muslims. That's
not how it worked. All right, they controlled those areas, but they
were a minority. The way Islam spread was through cities, cities
where the army of the Muslims lived. Okay. And so you had most
of Arabia were Muslims. Then you'd go in Jerusalem, one little city,
right? in Persia, two or three cities. And these were the
garrison towns of the armies. Right? Between those cities, they
weren't Muslims. Right. So you maybe had maybe they controlled
the whole country, but the Muslim cities were one or two in the
whole country. So in that one city, you had a mosque in the
middle and then the army, get
the army Garrison's around in that masjid, in that city. In the
beginning, there was one mosque there was no need for any more
than one Masjid. Alright, so Juma was only held there and then as
the populations grew, you had different little little satellite
mosques. Now these satellite mosques, you couldn't have a
Joomla or Eid there, you can only do Joomla and eight in the main
message, which is called an masjid and Gemma or the central mosque.
Okay, so that's how it started. Then as the population grew, you
had to start having Joomla in different messages, then as those
properties as we moved into modern times, where we have cars to park,
right. There's limitations. So now also, we have to have multiple
dramas certain times in the same messages. So for example, most
messages on New Year Christmas, New Year's, they're gonna have to
Gemma's Thanksgiving they'll have to jamas in some places all the
time. They'll have to Gemma's like iCj it's just a default setting
they're going to have to jamas so in the beginning they looked down
upon this because they felt there was no need but once the need
comes in they established a second Gemma
we may indicate
is on the phone that this has been
a great to talk including one is
the body of the speech
literally as
he said that
that's Alayhis Salam upon peace
All right, so every journal will begin with an Arabic introduction
Arabic or English in which it's all all praise of Allah and and
statements of belief in which there's no personal conjecture in
there it's all it's perfect speech. Then he says I'm bad when
he says I'm not bad. Now here comes his message the message of
this speaker which of course can have mistakes in it but what is
before I'm about is pure praise of Allah and there's no error in it.
Okay keep going.
Again
see fee should also leave four to six pages towards waste and sadly
the Prophet
peace and blessings be upon us to leave
after the zoo on the Commons and the proceeds raised to allowed
perfectly the story to be
very clear in difference of opinion versus
the previous hour for the industry we need to take into consideration
the defensively efficacy.
It is strong it is a strong suit. So take us into Friday morning or
even Thursday evening. This edition of the Muslims notice a
few reasons not to be
weird
Yeah, wrong where
Rasul Allah and receive a massage
a type of love free for upper middle class
should be attended in the spine as
if one has white bones This is preferable one should also wear
the finest teeth and the finest
likewise should
Alright Steve is like oil, perfumes that the men wear and of
course before is the coal, which is burned to bring some scent into
it which the prophet had always asked to be done.
Okay, keep going.
What record was that every day is
the one that did this was
the one who likes it.
And this takes place to this day in the market.
It is recommended that one leaving immediately and resume business as
Friday is not a day, traditionally Thursday that
they went to the magic Friday afternoon there was a time family
gatherings,
there was always
that fatigue should remain out of you until his time to take them.
For this there was always a
spirit behind the outputs in the TMA.
Providing the member is simply a set of users that the people can
see him and also to aggrandize the position of fatigue, the Prophet
peace and blessings be upon me to treat then I start with may
Allah be pleased with him
to stand with us out with us out of shame to see anyone. So he made
a second step is still
in our faces eternities to standard
out of respect. So he made a good step. But if not put announced
that nobody should be ashamed that that is the standard.
That's the standard thing, guys three
in
Moscow.
The steps reached up to 20.
All right, so that's those are some of the adab of Joomla.
Of course, the traveler is exempt from Joomla. The sick is exempt
from Joomla. Basically everyone who is not one of the four mature
resident free male muscles, prisoners are actually exempt from
Joomla. But they actually do Joomla. And that's where most
people convert to Islam in the prisons. Okay, I knew I know a
guy, maybe someday will come here. His name is Jamil Sanchez, a very,
very good friend of mine. And we talked about his Shahada. He said,
I heard that these Muslim guys would take get a day or half day
off, right, they would get to go together and meet up and pray do
something together called Joomla. So I said I want to sign up for
that, just to get out of the cell. So he signed up for Joomla. And he
used to go to Joomla, just to get out of the cell. And then
eventually, he's listening to the football over and over and over.
And he took shahada just from that. So in the prisons, Joma is
actually a big deal. And it's a cause for a lot of people to take
shahada in the prison system.
All right, any questions on that before we move on? Yep.
Yeah, how do you decide?
It's a just by consensus by what the people agree to have? Yeah. So
JAMA, in some cases, it can start beforehand, as long as the prayer
is in, so at least it's gotta be there's gotta be an overlap
between Jama and Thor. Right? Even if the couple starts before Jomar.
There's some room for that. If it's required, if it's needed, for
practicality sake.
Yep.
Just to make the just for the aura of the team, if he's just mingling
with the people and then he gets up on the sermon, they're not
going to take what he's saying, seriously.
If someone speaks during JAMA, right, their drama is invalidated.
So what do they do? They have to continue it. Okay, pray JAMA, and
they have to pray to her after that. Because they're ended they
have to make Toba. They have to make a step forward today. If
someone talks so much so that if you tell someone else to stop
talking in the middle of drama, you've lost your drama.
Okay, but what one can do is signal to a person just without
speaking. This is why Joomla is the only place do you get absolute
silence because your Joomla is invalidated? If you talk during
Joomla?
Yeah, a lot of sisters think that because it's optional, because
it's optional for them that they don't have to follow these rules.
Right?
That's the question. Yeah, they come for a Hangout, and we have
this issue of family and I to Anna, right, we got a couple of
sisters coming for hangout. They don't even speak English. They're
welcome to come, but they're disrupting the Jamaat. So. These
adab are very important not to disrupt the Joomla.
To Joomla Well, we have this room in the back is supposed to be for
babies, right? Women with babies, they should supposed to hear it,
and inshallah we'll put a TV in there
oh, yeah, you shouldn't talk to them. No, you shouldn't talk to
them. No, he shouldn't talk to them. He should be able just to
sign with them.
You know? Yeah. shouldn't talk to them.
All right, let's go to the next chapter. 3512 sunnyrock as during
the day, sunnah. Raka Sunnah prayers, okay. You never get
punished if you don't do a Sunnah prayer. That's the first thing to
rule you never there's no
problem with that. However, sunnah is what protects the obligations.
If you want to be someone who Allah protects him in your
obligations, be a person who never misses sunless. Okay. And you got
different Sooners here. So if you're busy at work, and you're
only going to pray for rockers, you could make them up for mugging
him. Alright, you could do a little more soon as McGraw
Alright, so you can always try to fit in 12 Sun rocker so read want
to pick that up for us
pounds for each day
before the obligatory prayers, there are three levels of confirm
so now it just seems to
look
deeper
our product
diversity extra prayer that the purpose
is we simply say sunnah and we pursue an extra prayer for peace
and blessings be upon
you ranges from one tool to a lot but he did not do
it all the time. Last year he needed an extra credit and
permitted time but not based on anything specific
where someone simply felt nervous about a matter and simply wanted
to pray to
them that would be
okay so the third three levels of prayers number one confirmed
sunna's A prayer the Prophet never left off. Never left it off always
did it. Okay.
Then there is a next level Sunnah prayers, which is sometimes he did
it and sometimes he didn't do it. Right then naffaa prayers is just
simply a prayer that you offer in a permitted time not necessarily
based upon an action of the Prophet peace be upon. Okay, so
here are the Sunnah prayers. The prayers the Prophet did mostly did
but not all the time. Amongst the Sunnah prayers that we're about to
list
I'll let you know which ones are the confirmed sadness, right
because some of them are confirmed and some of them are not are
similar that sometimes a prophet did not do them. All right to
before Federer. This is also a confirmed son the Prophet never
missed two before Federer. Never not traveling or sick never
missed.
Two to four before the hook. The confirmed is for the Prophet
always prayed for rock guys before though.
Two to four after the hook. The confirmed is two. He never missed
two records after the
two to four before awesome. None of them are confirmed. Sometimes
he didn't pray them at all. So it's Sunday sometimes he did. So
it's it's Sunday but it's not confirmed.
two to six after motive what's confirmed are the two
two after Aisha
Okay, that's not confirmed.
Not confirmed that sometimes the Prophet didn't pray
them, sometimes he did. Sometimes he did it. And then two to 10 as
Chef out before sleeping, the two is confirmed. And the rest is
sometimes he did it sometimes he didn't do it.
And then one with sort of before sleeping Oh, of course that is
confirmed.
No winter winter is not obligatory, but it is. It is not
good. It's frowned upon. If a person never prays with it, only,
of course, Abu Hanifa Imam, Abu Hanifa, he considered winter to be
so important that you're actually you might get a sin if you miss
it. But the majority were upon the saying that if you never pray with
it, right, that's not good. You gotta at least sometimes you gotta
pray with it. So again, this is the list of Sunnah prayers. If you
want to know the confirmed again, two, for two, and then nothing for
asset, two, nothing for Asia and then two and one. Those are the
confirm the Prophet never missed those prayers. Okay, so we should
you can strive to try to fulfill the confirmed ones and then try to
fulfill the extra ones after that. And if we count the confirmed one
up, that's 678-910-1112 13. Okay. 13 The Prophet never, ever missed
them. Okay. And then the additional ones, he did them, but
not only not always, sometimes he did sometimes he did it. Right.
Now, let's say I'm at work. And I can't pray the four before though,
so I'll just pray in silver and I'm leaving. So what would I do?
I'll go to Madrid. And I'll try to add some extra sun is there. Now
why as soon as so important, the first thing we're asked about on
the Omo piano, Allah comes and says, Bring me his obligatory
prayers. And remember, we said last week, you only get credit for
where you're focusing and concentrating. So if for my whole
life, I'm only getting credit for 50% of my prayers, right 50% of my
prayers and 50% I was daydreaming, then what does Allah do? He then
says, Bring me his extra prayers and all the worship that I did
that was accepted at that time. Okay, is added to my obligatory
prayers. And the Prophet peace be upon him said rarely, if anyone
fulfills perfect, obligatory prayers, will that person go to
*? Okay, if your prayer is perfect, most likely, you're going
to be a person of paradise except the one exception. Remember it who
remembers exception from last week?
The Prophet peace be upon him said who is the the bankrupt? Sahaba
said the one who has no money. He said, No, that's not who's
bankrupt. The bankrupt person is someone who goes on the Day of
Judgment, perfect prayer and perfect charity. His prayer is
perfect. However, when his bad deeds are brought forth, he abused
so and so he cursed so and so. He backbite it's so and so he gave so
and so a hard time he sinned with people.
And as a result, his prayer was taken away from him. Why you have
to pay pay these people out if you backbite at someone and on the Day
of Judgment, okay. That person comes you stand before Allah and
he stands before Allah and he says so and so backed by did me What
does Allah gonna do? Take some of your good deeds and give it to so
and so. The currency of the afterlife is good deeds. Okay, so
you can have perfect prayer, but you could lose it if you abuse
others. Okay person should never emotionally hurt the feelings of
another person. If you hurt the feelings of another person. Okay?
It is big trouble in the sight of Allah Allah the Prophet peace be
upon him said it is easier for Allah to see the kava being
destroyed than to see another Muslim have hurt feelings. It's
less of a sin to destroy the kava, than it is to hurt the feelings of
another Muslim. Just think about that. Think about what the Muslim
world would do today. If we destroyed the cap. Right? There
will be armies surrounding that person.
But Allah subhana which Allah says the Kaaba is a building, the heart
of a Muslim is more valuable, never hurt the feelings of another
muscle. And if you want to go to heaven easily, and get forgiveness
easily make other Muslims smile and laugh. Right? sounds so simple
and it is so simple, but it's actually very hard on the ego. And
who is the most important person that you should make smile and
laugh your mother after that your father after that your spouse
after that your children. That's the most important people after
that poor people who are generally downtrodden and vulnerable, like
the ignored person in every room. There's someone ignored. There's
someone who
So the general body of people in that room don't care about. If you
can go find that person and lift their spirits a little bit.
Whoever does this as a habit, you're on the way to Paradise.
Right? You don't have to do much. Okay? You are on the way to
Paradise and you keep your prayers. That's a path to Paradise
by itself. Okay? Especially someone who makes his mother laugh
every day or makes his father laugh every day, okay, or smile or
just feel good. Okay, just feel good. If you can lift the spirits
of your parents, you're on the path to paradise. The Prophet
peace be upon him said there is no one who is good to his the child
who was good to his mom and dad is far from the hellfire. And the
person who is not good to his mom and dad is never far is never
close to Paradise will never be close to parent no matter what
they do. That's the sanctity of it. Someone says my mom and dad.
They're jerks. Right? My mom is a jerk. She is so mean to such a
mean woman. Well, that's your test. Right? Just bite the bullet.
Do the right thing and move on with life doesn't mean you have to
love it. You just got to do it. Why? Because it's best for you.
Even if she doesn't deserve it, right? She's mean, she doesn't
deserve for me to be nice to her. She doesn't deserve it. But when
you do it, you're disciplining your own ego. You're gaining
strength and power by disciplining yourself to just do it. Okay. So
that's the status that we're at, and you never know who you're
dealing with. Maybe the person you're dealing with, you think
they're nothing, you lifted their spirits up, maybe that person,
Allah always listens to their prayers, Allah accepts their
prayers. So if you lifted their spirits up, you're gonna get to
Paradise just for that deed. Never belittle these little things in
Islam, never belittle them that's how we're going to make it to
Paradise by little good deeds.
All right, now let's read on if we consider the higher numbers, okay.
Then this is a total of 33
Okay, so we said 13 are confirmed, but the total is 33.
If we add this to the obligatory Rakas how many obligatory Ruckers
are there? 17 What do we get? 50
the original number of prayers that Allah azza wa jal gave to the
Prophet peace be upon him at the heavenly assent okay 50 So
remember the Prophet peace upon him when he got prayer? He was
told 50 prayers and then Moses said there's no way they're going
to do it go back and he kept getting a reduction by five by
five by five until there was five okay.
So now if we add up if you if a person did all the prayers okay
and if each prayer is equivalent to one raka then by doing all the
sudden as in addition to your your obligatory ease, you will end up
with the original number of prayers that Allah gave to the
Prophet peace be fine which is 50/51 All right from the Sonos
seven arm eka, okay, which means that they should never be missed
two before the hook, that's actually a mistake. It should be
four before the hook for before the hook. Okay, too after the hook
too after melody too after Aisha is not confirmed, so x that out?
Okay.
Okay, and then the shefa and the Witter. Okay, these make 13 and
all so just replace the two after Aisha is really should be the four
before the hook. Okay, these makes 13 In all, which guarantees for us
to target number of 12. However, if someone missed any, they can
try to attain the 12 at any time that is permissible for prayer.
From them aka the confirm there are two that we should not leave
off even when traveling the two before Fajr and the shefa and the
winter, which are the two and the one total of three before
sleeping. Now the two on the one can be prayed by dividing them to
sell them out one or you can connect connect them all as three
doesn't make a difference.
The two times that Salam is prohibited again or after Federa
Nasir we do not even do the tour because of entering the Masjid.
The purpose of prohibiting prayer is to make us remember that the
one two is to make us remember the one to whom we pray. We do not
worship the prayer. We use the prayer to worship Allah azza wa
jal.
All right, let's go to
are you all getting tired?
Everyone feeling good? Okay, good. Let's go to Anna, do you have
enough light back there to read for us? Chapter 36.
One person who came here
there was
nothing better
prayer for him.
It is enough sustenance, which means that as a dispensation that
we are encouraged to take
this
obligation. In some cases, taking this dispensation
is a waiver of traditions. For example, breaking
traveling
too fast is better than a piece of towels. Prayer is not our
weakness, but rather it is someone
that is encouraged
the process
below that is completely up to him, just as he does his positions
because
if someone for whom it translates to auditing,
you're permitted to be
there to to do this for customer service.
They're also permitted to jump to during the day concerts together.
And the night concert
to bring them home.
Okay, so where do we get this number 48 miles. The boot are the
Roman postal stops of the old world. In the old world. The
Romans had set up basically the remnants of the Roman Empire were
still around Syria, these places and they used to have postal
stations buried is the post Postal Service, and their distance was 12
miles apart. The Romans used to make postal stops every 12 miles.
So when the Prophet peace be upon him spoke and the Companions spoke
about the traveler, they said four of these equals a traveling
distance. Okay, for postal markers, okay? are four of these
spaces. So it's a total of what translates for us as 48 miles.
Okay. So when you're traveling
you when you pass 48 miles, okay, you're a traveler. However, you
can start traveling when you when you exit. Okay, your comfort zone.
Let's say I'm going off to Pennsylvania, traveling to Ohio,
Ohio is way much more than 48 miles. But let's say I'm I prayed
austere, and I left them negative came in. Now I'm like 40 Miles 35
Miles, but I'm in unknown territory. I'm in Pennsylvania.
Right? And I don't know where I am. That's sufficient to be now
I'm a traveler. Come now I'm in foreign territory. I don't know
where I am. So I can I can pray Traveler's Prayer at that moment.
Okay. So as soon as you're while you're traveling as soon as you
get out of your comfort zone and you're not you don't know your
area. Okay, and you intend to be 48 miles or more away at that
point you start traveling. Okay, so I can go 3039 miles one way but
I know my area I know there's a mosque right there my my mom's
house is there wherever I know the area so that's not going to be
travelers. But if I'm going a direction I don't know about and
I'm I feel like an outsider at that point the travelers prayer is
off. Okay.
All right, keep going.
The first passage
between the
different branches and basically the interaction between
individuals this metaphor for it was a good
one maybe drive up to the station with authority
find yourself in
a meditative
state of
mind
there how's
it
going
if you weren't going on around the area looking for basically
like
all the difficulties
All right, so, so we're two worth atoma two things here. Combining
and shortening. When we're traveling, we have the we are able
to do both. We combine the daytime prayers the Hora Nasir and the
nighttime prayers mother of in Asia, the four become to four
rockers becomes two rockers and we pray them right away it karma
motherhood
iqama Asia, okay, in any time, whether it's door time, or Ossur
time, okay
miss my grid. He's going to pray it with Asia arratia time. Yeah.
He's in prayer, right. So you're you got a flight, you're leaving
at let's say what 730 McGraw comes in at 720 or at 715. Right? Newark
is not Newark Airport is not 48 miles away, right? So you're
within the 48 Miles however, you're a traveler, you're out of
your zone, you're you're not in control. That's the point you're
not in control. So now you're a travel. So you're gonna get on
your flight, your flights gonna take you and arrive at 2am. That's
plenty of time for federal. So you're gonna pray Maghrib and Asia
when you arrive at your destination, as long as you pray
before federal? Okay, a lot of times, it's Yeah, so this is the
travelers is a common sensical thing. All right, you're out of
your control. You don't know your you don't know your, your space
that you're in. You're a traveler, you're going to combine and short.
Okay?
Provides a
beginning, beginning with a person that goes off after
working
and pray to my husband, I show that you're the first of your time
prayers and depression. Alright, so when you arrive, you pray what
you owe. Right? You pray the prayer that came in while you were
traveling. After that prayer, you count for yourself. 20 prayers.
All right. fetcher the whole process of motivation that one
day, alright, let's say you come in late. You Oh my god, a bit
smug. But if you pray, let's say you prayed Maghrib in Asia. So you
start at Phaedra let's say you came in the middle of the day, you
arrived at three 3pm. So you pray the Hora Nasir, you start your 20
prayers at Madrid. And then you you can pray travelers for 20
prayers worth. That's if you intend to stay, you know, for you
know, a long period of time. Of course, if you're moving at any
case, you're you get the first few days to recover. It's common
sensical. There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to
travelers prayer. Just keep that in mind. Right, we're given
numbers here that the scholars used to give these to like pin it
down to a number to give the Muslim some sanity, right? This is
the number that they said 20 prayers. By the time you 20
prayers have passed which is four days you're back to normal, you're
back to your state of equilibrium, you figured out where you're going
to stay etc. Okay, and then you start praying normally, okay?
Keep going
on your return to the beginning
to begin
with
Alright, something else the journey can be for any reason. You
can go for entertainment, you could be traveling for
entertainment, right? You're still traveling the journey if it's a
permissible reason to travel, you can prey travelers of course if
it's you're going to kill someone, alright. Your prey traveler is not
going to be accepted. Okay. But if you're going for something like
whatever, anything, I'm just going to, I don't know.
Whatever people do to New York City, you just go to New York
City. Spend the day in New York you're traveling doesn't have to
be for some great and noble reason that you're traveling. All right.
All right, keep going
to breathe into it
alright travel ephedra will never change. Keep going.
Great.
People great Have a good
day to stand up immediately and for the farmer again.
He might not talk for me any delay between the two prayers as
in pray item on your conscious mind to fully follow up and pray
the three of
us then immediately without talking was already crazy.
Some people think that won't traveling or cannot pretend this
is false. To make sure intimacy was a specialist because the tip
of the feather
to them
