place you can be forgiven.
Right? And the only time you won't be forgiven is if you plan it.
Like planning your repentance before your deed, is the only
thing that makes your repentance unacceptable. So for example,
someone who says to himself well, as long as I have a soft and
broken heart, and God will forgive me, so he does what he wants all
night, right? And then he says that, well, that doesn't work out,
right? That's sort of like, it just doesn't work.
It's sort of like someone who buys chocolate in the morning. Okay,
and then purposely ditches.
He buys chocolate in the morning. Then he purposely blows off his
wife at night, and then brings you the chocolate box. It doesn't
really count, right? Because you've planned you've plotted it.
So likewise with Allah azza wa jal. You can't plan and plot your
repentance before you do wrong. But whoever does wrong, the first
question he should ask about his repentance is, what does my heart
look like? If my heart is the heart of a broken soul, then maybe
actually, you can easily be forgiven, but the one who he does
wrong, then he does a big repentance by praying a lot,
giving charity a lot. But his heart is so arrogant, or heedless
doesn't care, right? That type of approach with Allah like you don't
care, or you're arrogant or self assured.
That's not the heart that God is looking for. Right? He doesn't
want the self assured person. And anyone who runs a business and has
employees could testify to the same thing. You don't want an
employee who comes in? Who thinks they know everything. Right? And
even if they do you want them at least to have to show some
eagerness to show some like, I'm ready to do whatever you want. I'm
really sorry for my mistake. That's the type of person we want
to be with Allah azza wa jal.
It said one time, there was a wise shake sitting and someone came to
him,
and said, How long does it take to be like you? Like, how long did
you study? You know so much. He says, As for the knowledge of my
intellect, you could study and master Islam in eight years.
You could know what you need to know in one year. You could know a
lot in four years, and you could master the whole thing in eight
years. He said, Oh, that's great. So you've been a long time you've
been a master. He said, No. But to master your heart, it might take
30 years, to master your state of your heart, to be able to control
your heart and move it and realize, wait a second, you're
getting arrogant at this moment. Come over here. You're becoming
stubborn, get back over here. To constantly cure yourself from the
sicknesses and we can't cure ourselves. We always have to go to
others to cure ourselves. Even doctor when he gets sick, he goes
to another doctor, a doc a guy when he gets something in his leg,
he doesn't perform surgery on himself. So we're always and this
is an attribute of scholars even will folk a quality element Aleem
above every scholar is someone have more knowledge at all times
we have to be attached to someone who has knowledge and who teaches
us.
Alright, so that's a side note. Now, are there any questions on
the three kinds of water?
Any questions on these?
Okay, so now we move to Chapter Nine, page 23. We're going to move
a little quickly here.
So we pierce purify ourselves from Sabah who wants to read that for
us. Raise your hand if you haven't read one you want to read for us
just
simply taking
what exactly the person that needs
to
do would not have to take the time to
know that the true permutation of different customers
was unclean. Whereas another con man may
say to one minus c which
alright so in Islam and all cases we are people who advocate for
cleanliness, but the there is a bare minimum which Allah Allah
when he looks at a person, he only doesn't accept their prayer if
they are ritually unclean. So if there's an address on their
clothes, this is important because there's a saying of the Prophet
peace be upon him. Allah does not look at your faces. You
how beautiful your faces are or how nice your bodies are. Some
people have very nice faces and very nice bodies. God does not
look at these things at all. Rather he looks at your heart and
your action
what is the state of your heart and what are you and we should be
like this to the moment the believing Muslim
cannot it's impossible to love someone or hate someone simply by
the way they look. This is just This is look at them. Look as long
as in fact
is at a highest one of the highest levels of unspoken discrimination.
Look as people treat people okay, far better if they look nice,
right? They treat them better. This is wrong. The movement you
should say. If God judges people by their heart and their actions,
I can't see their heart I could sort of maybe feel he's sincere.
He's humble, right?
So we can sort of sense but we can always sense we can sort of sense
how people are but not always, but definitely we should never be
people who turn away from people because of how they look or love
people want to be with someone because of how they look this is
absolute ignorance. So Allah himself a person could be a very
low status but he doesn't have impurity upon him so Allah accepts
his prayer Alright let's keep going
which is also Ginevra you can write that there has about the
same thing as a Geneva
joined by a complete wash in
a similar way to Pegasus to Washington
ones are divided into six area from your film
to Washington support what
are the community after this one Washington
This consists of hands on support
he stops being nice is
when doing one must make sure that you choose his or her scalp and
the most genuinely want to shoot
at
right shoulder
to shoulder
the wonderful bottom of waist
whitening
Okay, so basically what also
is a shower basically no more no less, it's a shower. That's it.
But the difference between it and other showers is your intention.
Okay, so you got to make the intention to to remove yourself
from the state of Geneva back into a state of Bihar purity
purification that's the difference. Now there's a sooner
way to do this. The first thing is we have a new term here. Okay,
that bold term the ATA is the belly button to the knees. And our
in our Islamic law is something is that which areas should not be
exposed to anyone except the spouse.
Right and anyone except the spouse so we have for example, women
obviously for example, they have their hair and their shoulders and
whatnot. Other woman could see that
men cannot the Outre even other women should not see that right
from the belly button to the knees. Okay, this should not see
this area only this is only the spouse is permitted to see this.
So that's our so we start by washing the order. Another reason
for comments. Common sense is that if you're on Geneva, that's the
part that gets dirty. Okay, it's that area that got soiled, so you
need to wash that area first. Doesn't make sense to wash and
then leave that last and then your hands got dirty again. So you wash
all that area first by a simple rubbing. And then you you do the
limbs of will do just to honor these limbs and they are the arms,
the face, the arms to the elbow and the hair. But you leave the
feet okay? Because the fee is going to be less. So after you do
your outra then you do the limbs of will do then you do your your
your hair. You pour water over the hair so that's the third part and
you want to make sure it gets to the roots. If you have breaks if
you have a
things, things, your hair's done in such a way that you don't want
to undo it, you don't have to undo it, you just have to make sure
water gets there. So if you have a braid, you loosen the braid and
make sure it gets all wet. That's all you don't have. Sherea
recognizes that people actually do stuff with their hair
that they wouldn't want to undo. And it leaves people at their
leisure to do that. So when you do, also, you don't need to undo
the braids, what you do need to do is make sure of water gets to your
scalp, which means that if you did a straightening job, basically,
it's not going to last long. If you if you're a woman that
straighten your hair, or you got a perm, I don't know if people get
perms anymore, or people do the Brazilian, right.
It's probably not going to last if you did take a little because you
have to get water to the scalp.
So people you do that. And then you do the top right.
Which is shoulder side arm. Okay, all the top right of your body up
to your waist, then top left, and then bottom right and bottom left.
So and then you have to make sure to do your feet and between the
toes. So this is a quick just rub. Just make sure you got your, that
water got there. That's the point. And then for your back, you could
use one of these things that like on a stick a loofa on a stick,
it's good to get a loofah on a stick. It's good even just for
general hygiene to get to your back and make sure your back is
clean. Okay, so
that's basically it. That's all it is. But you have to make the
intention. That's the that's the difference. Okay, you got to make
that intention. All right, then there are certain things that
people forget the ears. When we talk about the ears, we never mean
inside the ear because the Sherea just doesn't require that it
requires that ledge like you have your ear, you gotta lead right
here. Right? Because that collects dirt. And you got behind your ears
that collects dirt, those two things you got to get there.
And then there are some crevices in the face. Like the eyes. Some
people have deep eye sockets, some don't. Deep eye sockets under the
nose called the Mehran these little crevices that people have,
you got to make sure you get these places really well. Okay, now, my
friend went on one of these, he's a fitness junkie. And in his
vacation, he signed up for a cross Sahara run, right, so they do a
run across the Sahara. And he's got a tent on his back water
bottle on his back, little food can container of food. And they
run and someone sponsors them for some charity or other and they run
all day through the Sahara Desert, and there's a jeep and there's a
GPS and helicopters making sure they're all safe. Right? So they
run all day. And then at the end of the day, they pitch their
tents, they make fires, they rest to eat together and it's really
fun. But he noted he was only Muslim there the rest were like
French and Belgian people. So he noted that what people did when
they ended their day he looked at he was like these people are they
making will do right? Because what he they were doing is everyone was
taking their shoes off getting a bottle of water and then washing
the dust out of their ears out of their nose out of their eyes out
of their feet. And he said for a set for a while there I thought
they're all making wudu and then he it hit him That's why we'll do
is the way it is because these are desert people. And this is where
all the dust gets. You get dry noses, you * nose, so you
need to blush we'll put water in your nose, your ears, your feet,
it looks exactly like we'll do so that's exactly why we'll do came.
But even if we're not in the desert we still do will do in the
same way. Okay, now regarding menstruation and postpartum really
menstruation counts for 15 days. After this you take muscle and
pray preferably making will do for every prayer and washing off any
blood for every prayer after childbirth. The postpartum
bleeding applies for up to 60 days after this she takes a hustle and
prays making will do for every prayer okay 60 days all right so
that's that now we go to the other bahagia which is we'll do okay.
Also known as the had also gone on when we bless her ritual impurity,
we undo that and return to purity through will do and everyone knows
what we'll do is but we'll do is insert it in meta verse six. It's
actually one of the few acts of worship that's actually in detail
in the Quran. For example, the obligatory prayer
is not in detail how you should do it in the Quran we have to get it
from the Prophet peace Yvonne okay so this is his yeah your leadin
either come to El Salah Feldstein would you hacker idea come in and
Marathi from set will be Rusick Omar Abdullah calm in our campaign
okay when quantum joven mahalo
are you who believe when you get up to pray, wash your faces and
your hands and arms to the elbows, wipe by your heads and wash your
feet to the ankles. If you are in a state of ceremonial impurity,
ritual impurity, big Janessa, you can just put Genova there if you
want bathed your whole body. But if you are ill, or on a journey,
or one of you come at from the call of nature, or you have been
in contact with women. In other words, you've had sexual
relations, and you find no water than take for yourselves clean
sand Earth and rub there with your face. And hence, Allah does not
wish to place difficulty or place you in difficulty, but to make you
clean, and to complete his favorite to you that you may be
grateful.
So the last part alludes to what do we do when we don't have water?
Which we'll cover that later on? So
we have two things here, what is the difference between washing and
wiping? In when we do we'll do okay, we wash and we wipe.
What's the difference? Washing means water has to run on the body
part. And then you rub.
Water runs and you're wiping means your hand is wet. You take away
wet hand and you wipe. Okay. So that's the difference between
wiping and washing. Okay, so what are you going to what are you
going to wash and what are you going to wipe the obligatory parts
of will do are for the face, the arms to the elbows, the head,
which means the hair and the feet to the ankles, I put head here
because some people don't have hair, they still have to do it. So
you wash your face your arms to the elbows and your feet to the
ankles, that has to have running water plus rubbing is required.
Okay, then your hair is the only thing that you could wipe. In
other words, you take some water put on your hand, and wipe any
portion of the hair. If you do the whole hair is preferable, but just
a simple wipe on any portion of the hair suffices in the window.
Now, when you do your hands, you start with your hands.
Get between the fingers, okay? Like so you get between the
fingers, you do your face, okay, you get in there, get your face
properly, your face, what is the definition of the face, it's the
hairline, to the ear to the temple jaw line down to the chin. If you
have a beard, you just touch with water over it to make sure there's
nothing, no crumbs or anything and you don't have to go inside your
beard, you just go over your beard, okay, and that's what
consists of the face, the eye sockets under the nose are these
little crevices that you need to get and do quite well. Then you do
your arms, right and the Sunda way to do your arms is common sense,
right? You, you've already washed your hands. So your hands are
clean, you take
some water, there's really there's no set way to do it. But this is
the way that you'll see the Muslims doing it, put some water
in your cup it and then you use your hand to get the water down
and you push the water down and you clean your hand like so you
take some water from the faucet and you again tilt it up and let
it go down. And whether you do that or you do the old run it
under the faucet all is the same. Okay? It's all the same. Okay, so
then you do your hair. When you do your hair, you just take some
water, wipe it however you do your whole head if you want, okay by
putting your thumbs on your temples, and then going up and
back and then up again three times or the minimum is you take some
water and just touch over your hair and get something over your
hair. Then the feet when you do the feet, okay? This is the most
critical part you got to have there has to be water that runs on
the feet. You can't wipe your hand and do your feet. That's actually
going to make you dirty, right? Because you might have some
moisture there that you don't really want on your hands. So you
need to run water on your feet. All right, and then clean your
feet. Okay, and then you don't need to go between your toes. But
you need to make sure you do your heel well get your ankle get all
the little parts of the feet up to the ankle. Now here's the thing.
This will do actually affects architecture and we
We have a bad situation here. Right? Which we got to change. And
I'm trying to get hold the architects, which is probably
easier, just haven't put enough effort, right? I'm trying to get
hold the architects to start fashioning like a place for will
do. Like you got to almost some home, right? Doesn't make any
sense that you make you purify yourself in the same room, that
you go to the bathroom, like that's unclean, and then you're
making yourself clean. I mean, first of all we'll do is an act of
worship. It's not just cleaning yourself, and we're gonna get to
the inner soon as we'll do the spirituality behind taking a will
do right. The Muslims never did will do on a sink. Next to a
toilet doesn't make sense. We're supposed to make will do in a pure
place. Supposed to make will do sitting down in a comfortable
position. You make will do you put your foot in the sink, you're
gonna pull a groin, okay? It's so uncomfortable. Okay, you're gonna
get water all over your pants. Right? You're gonna get your look
untidy. The check this out. This is how bad it is. A Muslim, a
regular Joe goes to the bathroom stands in front of the stall, or
the John goes to the bathroom gets into Jassa all over himself. Okay,
goes out. You're lucky if he washes his hands. People don't
wash their hands. If you observe the bathroom, people don't wash
their hands, right? people wash their cars more than they wash
their hands. He doesn't wash his hands. He leaves if you're lucky.
He washes his hands. If he's washed his hands, probably because
you're there. He sees another person's Oh, I gotta wash my
hands. And he leaves. He looks fine. Now the Muslim he goes to
the bathroom. He makes will do. He comes out looking like a mess. An
absolute disaster. Right? It's like, what the heck are you doing
in the bathroom? He's rolling stuff down. He's looked like he
just took his clothes off. He's his pants are wrinkled. His shirt
is wrinkled. Right? If he's wearing a suit, you could even rip
your soup pin. By putting your foot in the sink. Your sock is wet
now and it's in your shoe. Which is like the worst possible thing
that could happen. Okay, so Muslim he makes will do he looks like a
mess. But he's the more clean one. Right? That's the irony of it. The
reason is, we're totally wrong. First of all, in our clothes,
that's forget that but we don't have the facility to make a proper
will do. So we're struggling. And it's so easy. My friend who the
man who taught me calligraphy, Muhammad Zachary, he taught me to
write Arabic properly. He
He's a Californian who converted to Islam in 1950 something way
back when converted to Islam. And he took it by the horns and he
never left it. And he converted his downstairs bathroom into a
huddle room. So he has a faucet. And then he's got a sort of a
seating area, no toilet, nothing. And he makes we'll do they're in
peace. You can say God's name because you can't say God's name
in the toilet room. So he makes a proper will do right and doesn't
get wet. And he's got dryers everywhere, right? So that hot air
is blowing and you don't get wet. In the desert. It's so hot. By the
time you finish your left foot Your face is dry. That's how hot
it is. So they didn't have issues with that, right? So you might
read some Hadith swear, don't dry yourself after we do. It's better
not to dry yourself, you might read some of that hadith like
that. But I mean, if you're in the desert, you don't need to dry
yourself in the first place. So but the point is, though, this is
will do, it's oftentimes in a urine Ajam situation, we got to
change our architecture, so that we actually have places for will
do. But this is generally how you make will do if you have a if you
make will do and then you put on a boot that's above your ankle,
okay?
Or anything. Sock that is impenetrable to water such as
rafting socks, like people who raft and these types of things.
They have special socks for these people waterproof socks, the sock
will get wet on the outside but it won't hit your skin. At that
point, you're actually exempt from doing your feet when you make
we'll do the second time and you can simply wipe over the booth.
Okay, so let's say your work or you're working in the office,
right? And you have a boot that goes over your ankle when you make
wudu you're gonna go make a full we'll do you won't have to do your
feet you'll just wipe over your boots. And the key is that it has
to reach over the ankle. And what I'm wearing now is rafting socks
basically seal skins and you can get these on online for like 20
bucks seal skins hydro skins because they're impenetrable to
water. You're allowed to then
wipe over them.
Just without actually doing your feet. The key is you have to have
wudu before you put it on, and you don't take it off again, if you
take it off the whole thing is you lost it, you got to make wudu.
Again,
if you lost it all right, any any question on the barebone basics of
all before we get to the inner dimensions of wardrobe?
Yep.
The cotton socks, you can only do that with a cotton sock, if it's a
prohibitive situation, such as a prohibitive situation, such as
you're a person who's like just had a surgery, or you're sick, or
you're on a plane, and it's literally impossible to make will
do because the bathroom is so small. So that is should be used
only for prohibitive situations. If it is a situation where you
could make wudu but it's uncomfortable, then you would need
the waterproof sock
which, even if even if the person had been in their home all day,
just everything is clean. Never. Yeah.
To just swipe over your socks should only be used in a situation
of necessity. Yeah, that's what's called a Roxa Roxa is the Prophet
peace be upon him did it. But he did it in a situation that has
necessity requires a sensitivity. It shouldn't be something that's
just constant abuse. And their only position that has it is a
very minority position. And it should be when someone is ill.
You're ill, you're in a plane. And they even said, let's say like,
you're in a gym, you got you're in court, right? And you just you
just no bathroom or what have you, or whatever, in a gym. That's
really up to you. It's your conscience is going to judge
whether or not I'm in a jam or not. That's it? Yep.
What's that?
Full body wash. It also is only needed if you entered a state of
Geneva.
Geneva, which has sexual fluid came out of the person, which is
*, or the woman's version, or menstruation or a postpartum
bleeding. You don't need a whistle. Other than that.
Now, a couple things I didn't mention soon as
we have them here physical soon, as is the next chapter. So we'll
cover that later. And what else about we'll do any other issues
with Moodle?
Okay, last chapter we'll do today inner soon as of all
who wants to read? Who's got a book on this side?
Anyone? Should I read?
All right, I'll read it.
Okay.
Our practice must not be merely with our bodies. Our hearts must
be moving as well. For each action, there is an appropriate
emotion or feeling to be evoked. Okay, this is very important in
Islam. In Islam, we talk so much about actions do this, don't do
this, believe this. Don't believe this. It's equally important. To
begin to assess your emotions. It's equally important, your
physical, your emotional state, okay. It's equally important. It's
a habit you gotta get into some people are just, they're not in
touch with their emotions, their emotions are wild, raw, untouched,
or Islam requires you to look deep into how you feel and feel
correctly. And it tells you you can change how you feel. So this
one says to begin, one must must push away any feelings of laziness
regarding will do.
Most people don't pray because they don't want to make will do.
Prayer is not a problem we'll do is the issue. Right? People don't
feel lazy about the prayer. People feel lazy about will do they don't
want to get themselves well as simple as that.
Or the feeling that we'll do is an unwelcome burden. Right.
And you have to ask yourself, judge yourself, when the prayer
call comes in and you don't have will do does it overcome you that
you're just annoyed
that you feel a burden? If you feel that you just have to push
that feeling away?
You got to push that fear because a lot of people are mentally
Muslim, but they're not emotionally Muslim. What does it
mean? They're mentally muscle like he knows I should love. But when
you actually look at him, he doesn't want he doesn't. He's
annoying. He's bothered, right, he's hassled, so you got to be
mentally Muslim and emotionally so to
rather one should recall that we'll do is a barrier between you
and Satan. You and the shayateen
The various Satan's and things that whisper evil things to you
will do is a guard between you and then. Okay, so when Allah asks
you, What if you want to put up a wall you think is going to take
effort? Right? Do you think walls just show up these walls that
protect us from the wind? Did they just come up or they come up with
effort? Right? So to protect ourselves spiritually, it takes
effort. Okay, so we shouldn't have an issue with that. Further, there
are certain angels who will not sit with a person who is not on
will do certain angels don't sit with a person if he's not upon
wudu. And definitely angels aren't around us when we're on Geneva.
Okay, Geneva
for example, after Phaedra if you sit in vicar, this is the prophets
of this angels who will sit with you and bless you until you lose
your will do at that point they will be they will depart from you.
So let's say you pray Fudger or any prayer and you say seated,
okay, whether you turn to sit like I'm sitting now or you stay on
your knees, and you sit and you remember Allah or you just
contemplating or you're making the son that has to be Subhan Allah
come to the Lowepro there are angels with you at all times,
until you lose your will do as soon as you lose your will do
those angels will meet. Okay, so, a will do is something that
attracts angels and protects you from safe.
Thus, angels love one on will do whereas the devil's hate will do.
They love that someone is not okay. It is so much so that it
bliss, the chief of all devils has assigned a certain group of his
legions to the sole task of fighting your will do.
That's their sole job to get you not to make will do.
The Prophet peace be upon him said Verily, there is a shade on just
for will do by the name of while ahead. So be careful of the
whisperings surrounding little while ahead. Now this Satan key
operates in two ways. Here we're going to see these two ways the
whisperings are of two types. The first is that shaytaan seeks to
make you lazy about making wudu. However, if you overcome this, he
seeks to make you confused as to your state. Thus, the cell refused
to say too much will do is actually from Shavon. Okay, what
does it mean? The person that becomes obsessively, compulsively
thinking about Wait, did I just lose my voodoo? Right? What just
happened? Did I lose my will do do I have to make wudu? Again, it's
so bad. Alright, this is a true Hadith. The Prophet peace be upon
him said Satan will try to get a Muslim off his will do so badly
that he will enter into a person and come out of his backside to
make him think that he passed gas and he has to go make will do.
Right? This is how serious that they take this matter. Get people
off the state of Google.
Okay, so this is regards one who consistently thinks you lost will
do or that he forgot a body part. So if you're an authority, or the
Allah, a scholar of the first generations used to say if you
have one doubt about your purification of prayer then
heated. So if you doubt we'll do once then make we'll do it again.
However, once you become inundated with doubt, that Satan shaped on
what a hand trying to ruin your will do and get into your head, so
ignore it. And this is our belief about doubt. If you have one doubt
like you're praying for for a cause. And you're like, oh shoot,
is this the third or fourth? Let me do the fourth just in case.
Okay, that's what we do. But if this happens, the next prayer and
the next prayer and the next prayer, this is an issue at this
point. What's the solution? Ignore it. Ignore those doubts. This is
called the One who is married to doubt attached doubt is just all
over his head. So at that point, leave it off. Forget the doubts.
Now as to the positive thoughts about well do the prophets of
Allah who I do send them said, when the Muslim servant makes a
will do and washes his face. Then the sin of everything he looked at
with his eye comes out with the water
or with the last drop of the water and when he washes his hand, then
the sin of everything he did with the hand falls away with the water
or with the last drop of the water. And when he washes his
feet, every sin with twit which his feet walk towards comes away
With the water or with the last drop of the water, thus he leaves
his will do clean and pure from sins. So will do is not just a
matter of washing your body. It's an it's a spiritual practice. Your
sins can be washed away just from making will do.
Okay one day after fetcher the Prophet peace be upon him turned
to his companions, and said, Who here had a dream last night?
When nobody replied, he said last night, I saw my Lord and he said,
Oh, Muhammad, what do the highest angels dispute about? So the
highest angels in the heavens? They're having a debate, okay,
what are they debating?
He said, I have no knowledge. Then he said, Then he placed his right
hand on my back. God placed his right hand on the prophets back
and he said, I felt a coolness and all the knowledge of this world
and the next entered my heart.
Then he asked me again, what do the highest angels debate about I
said, they debate about, about what deeds remove sins and raise
ranks the most they are, will do in difficult circumstances, taking
many steps toward to the mosque, and waiting for the prayer after
the prayer. That is the robot. The robot is the robot is the fortress
that guards the frontier. If you ever look at a kingdom, you have
like the kingdom at the end of the land of the king, he puts a big
fortress and he puts soldiers there, and they just look out on
the horizon to make sure no one's going to invade the kingdom. So
that's what's called the red box. Okay, the rebirth is the fortress
that guards the frontier, the soldiers there must look out into
the horizon for hours to see if anyone is coming. It takes a lot
of patience. However, it is the most important position because
they will be the first Warner's in an end. If an enemy army comes. So
these are the things that most remove your sin to make will do
when you least like it. Like fetcher, waking up 630 In the
morning, making will do at 6:30am is not easy, right? getting your
feet wet. At 6:30am is not easy, right? Wintertime will do. I'm
tired after work. I just sit down, I ate my dinner. And oh, it's
motive. I gotta pray my group just really want to have my tea. Right?
How many times in the Muslim household? Right? The microwave in
the Muslim household is made to reheat tea because most of makes
tea and then he's got to pray. And then his tea gets cold, right?
He's got his reheat his tea. Okay, so these things happen. But to
overcome that within yourself and make the will do. This is the
highest deed that will remove your sins, and then taking many steps
to the mosque. That's why if you're in the masjid, every step
while you're walking, angels are blessing you. And this is why it's
the smartest thing pray far Park far away than you could walk and
all that time the angels are blessing you. Prophet said for
every step you take, I give you a reward and I forgive one of your
sins.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam, peace be upon him, came to
the graveyard and said PC upon you dwelling of believing people, we
will all join you soon. If Allah wills. Then he said I would have
loved to have seen our brothers. The companion said are we are
brothers, oh messenger of Allah. He peace be upon him said You are
my companions and our brothers are those who have not yet to come.
They said, how will you know those who have not yet to come from your
OMA O Messenger of Allah? He's in other words on the day of
judgment. He said, If you had an all black horse that had white fur
on its legs, which are we call Clydesdales today? Wouldn't you be
able to pick him out amongst other horses? Certainly, they said,
likewise said the prophets of Allah when he was selling them,
they will come with white light shining on the areas of their will
do I will be present before them at the house, which is the
fountain in front of paradise the prophet has a fountain in front of
paradise in front of the gates of heaven, but some people will be
driven away from my fountain I will say come here but the angels
will say no, they changed the religion after you alright so in
this hadith, how are how are we described on the Day of Judgment?
The Muslims are described and known as people who have bright
white arms bright white faces white glowing hair, and bright
feet. Okay, that's how they're known from the will do so the In
another Hadith The Prophet said, light is coming to you from the
widow so do much
will do, whenever you're angry make will do whenever you have
doubts make will do whenever you're anxious make will do.
Alright, so we'll do is, is a really powerful thing one must
make will do very slowly and carefully while pondering these
matters and seeking forgiveness, he or she must not waste any
water, we must visualize that we are about to stand before Allah
maker. We're not allowed to waste water and will do so whether the
Prophet said even if you're at an ocean, do not waste water. Okay,
so don't turn the water on, so that it makes a lot of noise and
it's white. No, you turn water on, there's so much water coming, it
looks white, this is wrong, you should turn the water on just a
little bit. That glass.
That glass is the measurement of a mood of like an Arab speck in the
day, they had measurements, that glass is the measurement of a mud
the Prophet used to make would do with a glass. Okay. And he used to
make a whistle with four glasses for mud, which is a saw. Okay, so
we obviously were were used ridiculous amounts of water. It's
absurd. We waste more water than people in in Africa drink
all these kids dying, because they have no water. Right?
We waste more water than they could ever hope to drink. So we
have to be careful from that. You should turn the water on. Like
it's a drop, like literally a string of water. That's the sun
No, do not waste any water. And that should be our ethic in all
things, not just in Moodle.
Alright, so
are there any comments or questions on this?
Any
anyone have anything to say?
All right, so let's stop here. Because the next chapter might
be little details. So this is the critical nature of blue. Charla
next week we're off. We actually don't have class next week. Yeah,
because we tried to align.
We tried to align our we tried to give a little breather. So we met
what, four or five times now. So we're gonna take we're due for a
break. So we're taking a break.
Next week, all the subpoena society classes are off, and then
we'll get back together the week after that.
All right. Does anyone else have anything to say or want to add
anything before we wrap up?
In terms of the blessings that we mentioned, taking many steps to
the masjid.
Sure, what does it mean waiting for the prayer after the prayer,
the act of waiting for the prayer when you're in the mosque. You if
you're just sitting in the mosque, just waiting to pray.
There are set the year under the blessing of Allah at that moment.
At that moment, just the fact that you're waiting for the prayer to
come in is an act of prayer. Okay, so the angels are there bless you
just for that act. And what he means you're waiting for the
prayer after the prayer. That means you prayed one prayer, and
you stay in the mosque until the next prayer comes. So you're
actually in a retreat, you're in seclusion and retreat
for that, in that short period of time. And in London that I used to
see in the Grand Mosque, the central mosque, the central mosque
of London used to hold holds about 5000 people, if you can imagine
the prayer line of the central London central mosque holds about
400 People just in the one line across. And in the summertime. The
British are bizarre people because they don't they just so
Penny Thrift, like what's the word? They're so not stingy, but
they so don't want to spend money that they don't use air condition.
They just use fans. Right? They don't their stuff is not built
with AC. So they people used to take refuge in the mosque because
the mosque had AC right. So people used to come and pray the hood and
just wait in the mosque. Rest you can take as permissible take a nap
a lot of people just take your nap in the mosque and just sit in the
mosque waiting for the next prayer. A lot of people used to do
that. So that's what it means. Praying one prayer and then
waiting the whole time in the mosques until the next prayer.
You see
most people fall asleep as soon as that happens
if you slept such a light sleep that if you drop something you
would wake up
or you could still hear people talking. But you're you know when
you're in that light sleep yeah you're like just nodding off. If
you just knocked it off you don't have to make wudu it's heavy sleep
that requires
like he just not like someone who sleeps on a bus. You see like in
transport if you've ever worked in New York City, you see people all
the time sleeping nodding off sometimes standing even they just
not all that doesn't require
Alright, if there's nothing else then insha Allah Our T is coming
and our plates are coming out controller does that communicate
with some of the considering length and stuff Like?
Right
