All right, Amanda Rahim. hamdulillah Salatu was Salam ala
Rasulillah.
Allah. So if you notice, the preconditions, the preconditions
are actually
half, it's almost equal the amount of preconditions the amount of
emphasis on the preconditions to the actual prayer itself. And this
is a very important theme
in all spirituality, all of Islamic spirituality, namely that
the preconditions to prepare yourself takes almost more time
than the thing itself. So
all of our worships are of two parts. There are there's
preparation for the worship, and preconditions, that's the first
half. And then there's the actual, a bed itself. Now just to review,
the preconditions are for all right, they are purification of,
of self purification of location, and then the time, then the Qibla.
And then, and that's it, these four purification of self
purification of clothes, and location, like your rug, or
whatever you're praying on, then then purification, and then the
time has to be in and then the Qibla. And he said last week at
the Qibla requires sort of a,
just an effort, a decent effort to find the Qibla. So notice that in
all these things, what Allah expects, is not that you actually
get everything right. He actually what he expects, though, is that
you put in the right effort. So when we talking about, for
example, purification of your clothes, what Allah doesn't,
what's required is that you put out the effort to make sure your
clothes was purified, right, your clothes was clean, because the
Prophet peace be upon him one time was praying. And partway through
the prayer, he took off his sandals and push them to the side.
Then after the prayer, he turned around, and all the companions had
also taken off their sandals and pushed them to the side. So he
said, Why did y'all do this? He said, Because we saw you doing it.
So we just copied right, which goes to show that what kind of
understanding the companions had that prophets come down to be
followed to emulate them. Then the Prophet said, No, this was a
specific case, because Jabril came to me. And Jabril came to me and
said, O Messenger of Allah, there is some new Jassa there's some
extra excrement from some animal on your sandal. So I took them off
and put them on the side. So what we also noticed that he didn't
have to break his whole prayer, he just removed that part that was
unacceptable, and pushed it on the side. So likewise, if the Qibla if
you pray in the wrong, Kibler halfway through the prayer,
someone corrects you, you don't have to make up the whole prayer,
you just move. Likewise, if the prayer time is out, let's say you
prayed Fajr, Zohar, awesome, and Maghrib in one Quibbler, let's say
at a hotel room, and then someone came to you said, no, no, no, it's
the other way. You don't need to make up all those past prayers.
Right? So you just make the correction moving forward. So now
let's turn to the obligations if there are no questions.
Let's turn to the obligations. And again,
it's very important in Islam, we always separate between
obligations and recommendations. So
there are recommended things in the prayer and there are
obligatory things in the prayer there are frowned upon things in
the prayer and there are things that nullify the prayer. Alright,
so there are five categories in everything. There are five
categories obligation recommendation, permissibility
frowned upon and
or discouragement and prohibition. Alright, so let's go to page 38.
Who wants to read
Lena, why don't you reinforce
the nobility of the prayer. nobility of the prayer is such
that its obligation came directly from a Losada to the Prophet so it
was set up in the Munish all his bodily access to the heavens in
which he saw audios of them spoke to him directly. Thus, there was
no angel as an internally intermediary. And as the manager
of that are one who narrates that narrates this and Allah, which
also tells us the prayer. were originally the prayers were
originally 50 Musa Sinha intervento time
Probably somebody who has said that this was too much the promise
it was going to ask for a decreased five prayers where the
prophet Musa lucidum advised him to return for more decrease and
the Prophet SAW and he was settled, but going back and
getting decreases of five at a time until there would have held
there are only five players left, profitable Sadio so we felt this
was still too much but the profit side and performance on the center
was a shame to ask her further reduction.
Or Aisha Radi Allahu Anhu said that when a law obligates the
prayer it was in this it was incentive to rock cars and
residents and to rock as well traveling while the prayer while
traveling was caplets out the scene, but the prayer in residence
was in Alright, so there's a lot in this one small Hadith first of
all,
all of the commandments of our faith, and all the revelations
came to the Prophet peace be upon him through the angel Jibreel
except the prayer, the prayer did not come through the angel Jibreel
and it did not come on this earth, there was a prophet peace be upon
him he received Quran from the angel Jibreel he also received
direct inspiration to his heart from Allah. And he also saw
dreams. And this is how he was communicating with the heavens,
and Jibreel came to him in the form of a man. So this is how the
communication between the heavens and the Prophet was taking place.
These four methods, but one time, one thing was given to the Prophet
peace be upon him directly from ALLAH SubhanA, which Allah in the
heavens, and that is the prayer now. One of our beliefs is that
the Prophet peace be upon him. And all the prophets. It's our belief
that all the prophets have something called a mirage. Mirage
is an ascent in the body in the bodily waking state, to the
heavens. And this defies all the laws of physics. And it goes to
show that even though Muslims we do realize that Allah created laws
in this world, but he also
he also is not bound by any of these laws. So we have there are
two ways that Allah operates. The first way is called the Sunnah of
Allah, Sunnah of Allah means just the way of God. So he created
gravity. If you work, you get money. If you eat, you get
satisfied. If you burn something, it turns to ashes. If you drink,
you're not you're no longer thirsty. If you don't drink, you
get dehydrated, and diet are all the cause and effect natural laws
that Allah created. Allah created all these natural laws. So that's
the system. However, Allah subhanaw taala he is not bound by
the system. Okay, he himself is not bound by it. So he took takes
all of his prophets up to the heavens, and they see the heavens
and they speak to a lot directly, every single prophet had this type
of thing or something similar to it is called Mount aaj. And that's
the word in bold and this is one of the important beliefs in Islam.
All right, that in the waking state, Allah took the Prophet
peace be upon him
on a horse, first to Jerusalem, a heavenly Horst to Jerusalem, and
then up to the heavens.
There he saw paradise he saw *, he saw all the prophets, and then
he went and spoke to a lot directly. And then Allah gave him
50 prayers, okay?
It says your NSE Ben Malik, Radi Allahu Anhu may Allah be pleased
with him narrates in a long Hadith. hadith is basically a
saying of the Prophet peace be upon him about the prophet or the
words of the Prophet himself. Okay, the original number of
prayers were 50. But this was, then the Prophet peace be upon him
descended. And as he's coming down, he went to saw Moses, the
Prophet Musa la Sena. And of course, we don't believe that when
someone dies, they disappear. It's just we don't believe that we
simply believe that when someone dies, they simply move to another
realm of existence. Okay, and no one dies.
You don't just disappear. You're simply leaving moving from this
body to another realm, another zone. So there he saw the Prophet
Musa Prophet Musa said I had a community, right, and I know life
and 50 pros is way too much. So the Prophet went back. Okay. He
kept asking for reductions and Allah kept giving him five
reductions at a time 540-540-3530 Okay. And then when it got to
five, profit was he said no, get to that most of your people will
be able to do two prayers a day, because in mooses time, that's
what they observed a prayer and that is sunrise and a prayer.
sundown, so or before sunrise and after sundown. So the Prophet
peace be upon him felt that he was ashamed to do this. But what Allah
told him is that they're going to be five, but each one will be
worth 10. Okay, so the value of every prayer, and likewise every
good deed is the value of 10 Good deeds. Now one of the reasons is
that the lifetime of human beings is small. In this time,
previously, people used to live 100 220 years, 300 years, 400
years, but the lifetime of the Muslims is small, but more
importantly than that, the Prophet himself is so valued by Allah
subhanho wa taala, that his, his followers are precious to Allah.
And so one of our other beliefs is that the Prophet Muhammad peace be
upon him, he's the most beloved to Allah. And the prophets most
beloved is or his followers himself themselves. So Allah has
multiplied their deeds. And there's a saying about the
Muslims. Allah said that the description of the Muslims in the
Torah right Moses was reading in the Torah and he came upon a
people description of people
and he says these people they do little and they're content with
little and or they're content with little so Allah only requires
little from them. And this is what the Muslims are Allah the Muslims
tend to be very content with little or not a people of
excessive luxury. And so Allah in return his he accepts very little
worship from us back. Alright, so that's that now I shall now the
prayer originally. Okay.
It was all the prayers were in sets of two tacos. So we have of
course we have fetcher is to Rakas. The hood is for Prosser is
for mother of his three he has four in the beginning of Islam.
All the prayers were only in sets of two.
There were only insensitive to in Mecca, it was quite dangerous to
pray during the day. It was quite dangerous to pray during the day
because they were persecuted. So the daytime prayers were not
obligatory. The only prayers were fetcher and Asia, there were only
two prayers in the beginning of Islam, Fajr and Asia. And then
they were also told to pray late late at night in the middle of the
night. So there were no daytime prayers in Mecca. When they were
persecuted when they moved to Medina, then the prayers in the
daytime were made obligatory and their numbers of records were
increased. Alright any questions so far?
All right, let's have
for Azeri force vegan, you have a book you got a book for us read
for
139 you
before the
break, all right, so the way how do we learn how to pray the
Prophet peace be upon him he made a very simple statement. He said
pray the way you see me pray. So it's just observe and that's how
you pray.
Now in terms of speech, the prophets recorded speech, we learn
a lot about the prayer because of this famous Hadith about the man
who prayed incorrectly. And this is the benefit of mistakes,
mistakes are very beneficial in the sense that you learn from
them. So this man he came in and he messed up in the prayer and we
learned a lot from him. Alright keep going Knysna deep which is
narrated by a writer, man entering
in creating correctly with bounce quickly, often
without being still there at the Prophet, peace be upon sent him
back saying pray because you have not prayed this happened three
times on the third time. He said the Messenger of Allah I cannot do
better than this. So teach me the teaching of the Prophet peace be
upon is involved with commentary beside it. Okay keep going. You
can get up for the prayer and you do
all right so why did the Prophet says the man prayed incorrectly?
So if he's praying incorrectly then most likely he'd also doesn't
know how to make he doesn't know his preconditions right? He
doesn't know his preconditions So the Prophet gave him the
preconditions he said make a thorough will do then face the
problem. Okay, keep going. Where was faulty it'd be that is
preconditions were false. So the Prophet peace be supplied and with
that didn't make not fair to say is obligatory raising the hands is
only alright so how do we raise our hands in the prayer we raised
our hands the Prophet peace be upon was described that he
would raise his hands with the between the shoulders and the ear
lobes. Okay, so that means this part of his hands was at the level
of the shoulders, and the top of his fingers were at the level of
the ear lobes so
and he used to put his hands out like so let's say Allahu Akbar.
Right, and then any which way a person raises his hands, whether
his hands are facing to the sides, or facing flat out.
This is acceptable. So to raise one's hand like so suffices.
And the Sahaba they used to have another one companion said, when I
stand up for the prayer, I visualize that I'm throwing all of
my worldly concerns over my back when I raise my hands. So he used
to do his type of visualization like a throne, all my worldly
concerns over my back when I raised my hands for the prayer,
and that is the only that is the main raising of the hands. Okay,
in the prayer, and you begin with Allahu Akbar, as soon as you say
Allahu Akbar, at that point, all of speech,
eating or drinking anything, so a person has gum in their mouth, or
anything becomes prohibited. Okay, and you're now in a sacred
you're in a sacred state at this point. Okay, keep going.
What is easy for you,
it is obligatory in every Muslim to learn the recitation of Surah
five.
We correct emancipation of the letters and their connections to
the following words. If someone such as a new Mason does not know
how far they can recite any other small Surah they know it does not
know anything, then they can simply repeat La Ilaha illa Allah
Subhan Allah, Al Hamdulillah praise that Allah
has one brain by himself or behind the man in the sun. However, if
one is behind the man outloud, you must listen and not say anything.
Okay? So
there are three situations in the prayer. And maybe you could write
this on the side. Does anyone have an extra pen I seem to have lost
my pen
Okay, all right. So I'm going to give you some Arabic terms here
and you could stick them in here in the in the margins the prayer
is going to be you're going to be always going to be praying in
three positions either you're praying alone
and Arabic for that is FEV
FADH faith praying alone or
you're the Amen
okay with Arabic is Imam itself I am a m
or you're a follower.
And the Arabic for that is mu ma apostrophe m mu m.
Mu. So you're either fed or your Imam or you're met mu.
So if you're praying alone, if you're praying alone,
and you you don't know suited to the Fattah at that point, you
simply say let Ilaha illa Allah Subhana Allah Alhamdulillah any
praise of Allah subhanaw taala
we have a look here
in the book
book
All right, any praise of Allah subhanaw taala they say let you
know in Allah, Muhammad Rasul Allah, you can say whatever you
want a couple times, all right. And then you you say this
throughout your whole prayer, until you learn to recite Surah
Fatiha. So the first real duty of a muslim is to learn certain
Fattah to every prophet, every messenger who came with a
religion, Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, the
main messengers, each one of them had one prayer, which was very
short, that was recited multiple times a day. Okay. I think I'm not
really familiar, but there's, I think in the Jewish tradition,
it's hero Israel.
In the Christian tradition, and as many Catholics know, what is the
daily prayer that's recited? What is
what is it called? Yeah, our father. Okay. Thou art in heaven.
Okay.
Yeah, and in the Orthodox, Eastern churches, all there's one prayer,
okay. Now in Islam, Allah subhana, which is the same God he's doing
the same things. Okay. So he's given
The most of the Prophet peace be upon him one prayer that it's
recited at least 17 times a day and that is Surah Al Fatiha. So
the first obligation duty is to do a study of this. Firstly, you have
to know how to recite it in Arabic, it's very important, okay?
It's the the obligatory prayer, or the ritual prayer has to be all in
Arabic. Why? Because in order for it to be uniform for you the same
the same prayer in Brazil, that you're going to hear in Mecca that
you're going to hear in New York, right, it has to have one uniform
language and that is the Arabic tongue. So the new Muslim has to
sort of put an effort out and learn certain Fatiha and focus a
lot on this, learn the explanations, learn the
pronunciation, et cetera. If you're the Imam, you have to know
certain facts in order to be an Imam, if you don't know it. And
the person next to you doesn't know it also, you can still pray
together and you would simply say, Allah, or any other vicar,
remembrance of Allah, if you are the follower, okay, when you're a
follower, at that point, you actually, you can when the Imam is
silent, you, you recite what you know. Okay, so the follower, he
also has two situations, either the Imam is silent, or the Imam is
reciting aloud. If he's reciting aloud you listen, if he's silent,
you recite what you know. Alright, so, when the Imam is reciting out
loud, you just have to listen. Right? don't recite anything. And
the Prophet one time was reciting out loud and a new Muslim came in,
and he started reciting to himself, right. And the Prophet
turned around after the prayer and he said it was as if someone was
tucked doing a tug of war in the prayer. So the Prophet den said,
if if I'm reciting aloud, you listen. Okay, listen. And they
say, Well, what if I don't understand what he's saying? You
should simply know that this is the word, the direct word of
Allah. And that's all you need to know. And you'd listen to it and
enjoy it as is. And they said that a man named Jeffrey length.
There's a guy named Geoffrey Lang, you could read about him. He's
from Kentucky. He's a mathematician. And he and he,
Geoffrey Lang has a beautiful story of back in a long time ago.
He's pretty old now. But Geoffrey Lang used to see a dream all the
time. A recurring dream. There are no like people have recurring
dreams, seeing the same dream his whole life. He's seen the same
dream, seeing the same dream of a small room with a man standing.
And he sees his back wearing a red shawl on his head and awake. Garp,
right? So he keeps seeing this recurring dream from his youth,
all the way up through his adulthood. And he just sees a
flash of it. And then
in his middle of his life, he was going through some hardships. And
of course, people when they go through hardships, they need to
find something to hang on to. So he started going to church and he
went to church, he wasn't satisfied with that. Then he
started looking at Hinduism and different religions. Finally said
let me look at the Quran. Started reading Quran started getting
interested. He went to a masjid when he opened the door to the
mosque. There was wasn't any prayer, there was one man praying,
okay with a little lamp on the side. And he saw that one man with
the red shawl and the white coat. Right? Then he looked around for
note for to see if there was anyone there wasn't. So he just
left. And then it hit him that that's the dream that he kept
seeing. Okay, that one image. So he went back and eventually he
became Muslim. Now he used to show up for the prayer. Every night,
he'd come to Asia prayer, and someone asked him you don't
understand Arabic? What motivates you to to do this? Right, which is
good, but what motivates you? He said, I don't understand Arabic,
but neither does a baby. Understand what its mother is
saying. But you know that that's your mother. And you know her
voice. Right? Likewise with the book of Allah in the Quran, you
might not understand it, but you know, this is the word of your
Lord and your maker and you enjoy listening to it and it gives you
score. So the move should always be listening. thinking this is the
words of my Lord. That should suffice even if we don't
understand.
Okay, so.
So that's Ted's wheat. You see this bold word Tajweed. The bold
word Tajweed here means proper recitation. Okay to recite it
properly. And we do have a 10 week class Saturdays at 11:30am. Every
Saturday 11:30am We have Ted's weed. Okay, and if you need to
learn the alphabet, we can supply a teacher of the alphabet as well
at any time now or female just let me know. And we can get you a
teacher for that. Okay.
Next paragraph
then making these and make the food
until you are stuck with a cooler profit is not fun was such that a
glass of water could be placed on his back without spilling over.
One should not rest on the knees but rather simply place the hands
there. The gays should be in the place of frustration. Recruit is
meant for
for cause birth cohort plays if Allah only not Paramus
application, one should Say Subhan Allah Alessi or civil cubus rubber
now
my life
prays for me more than the angels and the spirit. All right, so
cool. To give a visualization
record requires a person to bend to be at a right angle as much as
they can. Okay, like so
you're meant to bend your knees a little bit. Okay, you're not meant
to be leaning on your knees like so you meant to bend your knees a
little bit. Now for the man, he should have his feet apart, the
length of one one of his feet like so.
Bend them down, open your hands out. And you make your record. So
for women, though, they're recommended or they're permitted
to have their feet closed, and their legs closer together, since
it's oftentimes more comfortable for women to have self collected
like that.
All right, they said they used to say that you could put a glass of
water on the back of a companion while he was in record, which
meant that he was at a perfect right angle. Right and still
doesn't move. So notice here that you always see stillness to be
still. And it's an obligation that in every position you have to be
still for at least a moment. Very minimum a moment you have to be
still.
Okay, and then underline that there. Subhana Robbie Alavi which
means GLORY TO MY LORD the great okay. Subhana Vilavi Subhan in the
words of Han we see it a lot is glory, and also free from any
error free from any flaw. Right or Lord has no flaws and he is
rubbish. My lord. The word rugby means my Lord. The little i at the
end is my and Rob is Lord. And then at our Veeam the great
and our VM is the great, so Subhan Robbie Allah VM Subhana Rabelo.
Alright, so underline that and memorize that. Okay, next.
again until you are completely upright. In every position in the
prayer, it is obligatory to attain stillness for at least a moment.
This is called
it's good.
The aim of the mind was like a long day. Yeah, if there's a line
over it, it's a long it's Nan.
Good Standing after the coup is designated purely for hum
thankfulness to Allah preferably saying from whom Obama left out
him or her Ivana wala al ham are abundant life and how they are all
equivalent to one another. Moon the one behind the Imam and the
one praying alone says this But not the man. ingratitude may be
expressed expressed after this so long as it is in Arabic, if not in
Arabic, then soundly in Alright, so record we are praising God's
for His glory and His perfection. Now when you stand up again, all
right. When you stand up again, if you are alone,
you say send me Allah Who Lehmann Hamidah did I didn't put that
there
Oh, yeah, I didn't put that there. Okay, if you are alone, you need
to write this down
this is a bit tricky. I should have put it in there.
Okay, you say semi Allahu Lehmann Hamidah which means Allah here's
the one who thanks him.
Semia means here's Allah Who.
Right Lehmann to whom? Hamidah thanks him. Semi. Hola. Hola, man,
Hamidah
Hamadan yet? Hola. Here's the one who thinks him.
The mom says
Mila
corrects when he gets up. The Imam says that and if you're praying
alone, you say that semi Allahu Allah Muhammad. Now, if you are
the moon, you do not say this and you simply say or I'm benna
Lachelle Hamed, if you go down to 1234, the fourth
the fourth line there, go to the last one, because I put here you
can say Allama banana could have or could have been, well, I could
have or or bene leckhampton It's all the same thing. So, go to the
third one
and we'll look at that that means that our better our Lord, local
hands granted to you is gratitude. Luck is to you and Hamed is
gratitude. Okay, Rebecca Lachelle Hamed, Hamed is a gratitude that
is makes you worthy of worship. So, you don't say to a person
Likkle humped, you would say to a person sugar, you would say like a
sugar.
But Hamed means so much gratitude that I worship you. So, what a
bene Lachelle Hamed, that's what we're that's what the moon will
say if you're praying alone, you say both, right? If you're praying
alone, you say both.
So just just free, FYI, if you make a mistake in these things, it
doesn't invalidate your prayer. Right? So, when you're learning,
you might get confused at some point, but that's okay.
All right. So when you're standing in that brief period, between
recall and then you get up that moment, you must recall in your
head, everything that you're grateful for. Right? He said, I'm
benna Lachelle Hampton, remember what Allah has done for you. It's
very important to think about what Allah has done for you. Because
the Prophet peace be upon him said
love my family for my sake. And love me for Allah sake and love
Allah because of the good things that he's given you. Right? And
that's why the Prophet peace be upon him said sometimes poverty
leads to disbelief because when you start thinking God's there's
nothing to be thankful for. You stop loving Allah, right? So
person should always look for what Allah has done for them and be
grateful for that and that that's our link to Allah that's our at
the most basic level. Right? That's our link whenever we feel
distant from Allah, we should think What is Allah has what is he
done for me? And if you want to know what he's done for you look
at the poor look at people who don't have things the Prophet
advised us and he said, Whenever you feel discontent in your heart,
go out searching for the poor. Alright, searching for the needy,
look at the disabled, look at the
those people who are challenged in various ways the blind, the deaf,
okay, and all these things and you'll be more grateful. Alright,
keep going.
See you
soon refer you are still wondering they go to such good hands first
or feet. But one should not go down like a camel, which means
going down slothful, full of laziness, slamming himself onto
the ground, and making a lot of noise. So good, as in many
heartbeats is on the seven limbs, the forehead, nose, the two palms,
two knees and two feet, the toes are meant to be bent such that
they are facing the Qibla
if the nose does not touch the ground, the frustration is still
acceptable, albeit imperfect. So Jude is meant to his work because
via and suffocation not
accepted the Quran recited was the first of supplication regarding
the hands, the promise must touch the floor. For males the arms and
knees should be spread.
Well for females the opposite they should be collected. All bigger
and all times must involve moving the tongue. For example, Savannah
Bobby Allah Allah, if it is not an Arabic, it should be said in
Alright, so underline that as well. Subhana Rabhi Allah which
means again, glory to my Lord, the Most High GLORY TO MY lowered the
Most High and that's a minimum of what someone would say, in the
prostration.
Again, the frustration is on the seven limbs. First, let's talk
about how one goes down to the prostration. When someone goes
down to the prostration, you want to make sure you go down with
dignity and you don't slam yourself down, bang your knees on
the ground, tie exhausted right or making expressions that you're so
tired and that's what the prophet meant. Don't go down like a camel
when a camel is tired at the end of the day slams itself on the
ground. He wanted to go down with dignity. Okay, whether you go down
knees first or hands first, it's all the same. But now when you
make this such, you want to make sure that your palms are touching
the ground. Okay, like so. All right, with your fingers
collected,
facing the Qibla, not on your fingers with your palms. Okay, now
for the women, they're going to sort of collect their, their,
their hands together, when they go down, the hands should be the
fingertips at the level of the ears as well, or at will be at the
level of the ears and pulled in, the man will be flanked, if
there's room flanked out, okay, at the level of the ears as well and
his sort of arms from elbow back to elbow. So he's almost like have
a ledge go down like this, make sure the forehead and the nose are
both on the ground.
Then the knees of course, the women of their knees, it's
recommended for them to be together, and but the men will
separate their knees a little bit. Now as for the feet, when you make
the search to,
you should try to bend to your toes while you're in the Sagitta.
So that your toes are facing backward, your whole being is
facing the Qibla from your fingers, including your toes. So
you're sort of bend your toes while you're in the sujood
position. All right, you want to bend your toe, so your toes even
are facing the Qibla.
Alright, any questions on that
position the for the man will position his elbows like this.
Oh, and for the women will be like this.
Yeah, like in like a push up exactly like a push up position.
Okay, next, rise up. So that you're sitting still, to sitting
in the prayer is based upon
the prophets sitting is behind, which is sin that involves
terroir, sitting on the left backside,
left,
with the left foot under the right side, and the right foot facing
when we sit like this all the time, if not, then only for the
nostril. Alright, so to water rock is basically the work is the
thought, right. So the sitting position is going to be in any
regular position like so with your hands near your knees, or on your
knees. This is how we sit down. And this is the best of all
sitting positions. However, the prophets sitting position used to
be, he used to rest his himself on the ground with his left foot
under his right shin, and then his right toe bent. So this is how it
would look from the front, from the back would look like this.
With his toe back.
All right, this is called to one group, right?
So whichever position or persons in
all these sitting positions don't really affect the prayer in any
way. Except that if you can sit like the Prophet, then it's better
to sit. There's more reward for someone who puts the effort out to
sit like the Prophet peace be upon him. And the two Waterbrook is for
men and women the same. Alright, so what are the men and women the
same?
Okay, a lot of people can't sit like that just through your limbs
just don't accept it. And if that's the case, then again, it
doesn't invalidate or doesn't even decrease anything from your
prayer. Right? But it's just better to try to sit the man or
the Prophet peace be upon
and rise up so that
then makes
them make Sujatha until you're still do this in your entire
career. And Alright, so that's the end of the Hadith. Does anyone
have any questions on this hadith?
Question.
The index finger we cover that in the suddenness of the prayer,
as soon as the prayer so that's the these are the obligations now.
Go to the next page. All right, a man to read for us. The
obligations, the 19 obligations of the prayer. Okay.
All right, you got to have the intention. Right? Your intention,
you have to make an intention. You can't pray a whole bunch of
prayers, and then say, well, I'll make an intention later. No, you
got to make the intention before you make any prayer so that
you can just put on the table. Yeah.
All right. That's the intention. Now how do you say your intention,
some of the Olomouc some of the scholars they liked that actually
a person's
Say his state his intention
allowed so that he can hear it. Right. Some of them scholars said
that it's better to do that. It's not obligatory, but
it makes a person more aware of what they're doing when you say I
make the intention for the prayer, or simply says her prayer, right?
Okay, keep going.
All right.
Good. The initial tech Vera, what is tech could be a mean, tech
could be or means to saying Allahu Akbar. You'll hear a lot of times
in Muslim gathering, someone says tech beer, and everyone says,
Allahu Akbar. Alright, so check the word tech a beer means to say
Allahu Akbar. What is the word haram mean? If you see the word
haram, the same letter roots of Haram are there haram which means
prohibited. it haram means the tech beer that makes more things
prohibited. Because now at this point, okay, talking becomes
prohibited. Eating becomes prohibited. So they're permissible
in every case, as soon as you say this, Allahu Akbar. All of those
things become prohibited for you to do, which means you're in a
more sacred
position than before. Okay, next.
Standard. Okay, good. The M, the M literally means standing. It's
very important to be if, let's say someone has a bad knee, at the
very least stand for the tech Kabir. And for students at Fattah,
so standing for is very important. Okay, keep going.
Good.
Number six, it's me not good. Good. Devin cam returning to
standing, eight operate as they're in. Okay. So when you get up from
recall, sometimes you might observe a person praying
incorrectly, they'll make record and they'll get up halfway, right
and then they'll go straight back into center. All right, that's
wrong. What a person does and they got it from recall. You have to
get up fully upright and have at least a moment of stillness and
then you go back and go down to such them.
Okay, next.
Frustration, number 11 intimate non stillness
between the two sessions sitting.
So Julius means the sitting between the two sagittis 13
stillness there in 14.
John Johnson.
Okay, so Julius is sitting. And then jazz is
the final sitting, which is of course you're going to do the
greeting to Allah and His Prophet peace be upon him and pray for all
the believers.
Okay, keep going.
So here, meeting in the final setting 16. So
peace be upon him in the final sitting 70 the intention to exit
the prayer 18.
Taslima the first turning of your head to say Psalm
19, observing the proper order, okay, so just like the word tech
Kabir means to say Allahu Akbar. The word Tasleem means to say
Salaam Alaikum. And as soon as you say a Salam or a comb, the prayer
is over. Like you sometimes would hear you can hear an imam say As
salam aleikum, wa Rahmatullah As Salam aleikum, Rahmatullah. The
reality is that the minimum the bare minimum is to simply say SLM
or they go once to the right side, the prayer is over at that point,
so why is important, for example, what happens if I say I said, I'm
going to go, and then as I'm turning, I lose my
right. As I'm turning at that point, to see the second cinema at
that point. Because I said, a cinema equal your prayer is now
complete. Alright, so it's valid.
Sure, hoping.
Miraj, could you help sell them find out?
Okay, so any questions on these 19 obligations or prayer?
Or something specifically?
You don't have to say anything. No, you just have to know what you
have to know in yourself what you're about to pray. And you
can't have there's no partial intention. You can't say I don't
know if a voter is in so let me just pray for just in case, right.
Yeah. In the prayer and all your acts of worship you have to have
absolute certainty in what you're doing. Right You can't be have any
fuzziness. Now I want you to go to number 15.
And put there the word Tisha hood, which is on chapter 21. Because
these words are alternatives
that could be used
alternately to here is a greeting and the Tisha hood is the
testimony. Okay, like you, Tisha hood is like the word testimony of
faith, because within the coming words are the testimony of faith.
Now, let's read here. I'll read it to you.
The to hear, this is another thing, it's probably one of the
hardest things for someone who's learning the prayer to memorize,
okay, learning the prayer to memorize. Now
the first part, the first part here, you see that there's a gap.
The two here 12345677 lines of the data that there is recited in the
first sitting of the prayer.
Right, let's say the second raka you recite it there.
The last sitting of the prayer, you're going to recite all of it.
Okay, all of it. Alright, so first one at to hear Tula greetings are
for Allah Zakia Tula.
Everything pure is for Allah up by Yvette a Salawat to Lilla
everything wholesome, and prayers. Our prayers are for Allah, to hear
to Allah Zakia to pay betta Salah to Lilla you notice here the word
LilLah means for Allah. Then you greet the Prophet peace be upon
him you say es Salaam why they get a Johanna be Warahmatullah
wabarakatuh cat As salam o Allah a cat, that ke their cat means you.
So you're saying peace be upon you, oh prophet, and the mercy of
Allah and His blessings
as salam alayka Johan Nabi Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh and
then you say As salam Wa Elena where Allah a bad de la sala Hain
As salam o la now you see that now there is an M Alena that means us.
Okay, so you're learning here a little bit of Arabic too. So here
you are sending the same greeting and you're praying for peace for
all of the Muslims. Okay.
Well, I am specifically whom the righteous ones amongst them, are
you bad Allah, a bachelor or the servants of Allah Asad hain, who
are righteous. In Arabic the adjective comes after the word
like we say, for example, righteous servants of Allah. In
Arabic, it would be servants of Allah righteous. So the adjective
always comes after, then you testify and you repeat your
testimony of faith as head Allah, Allah illallah wa the WHO lash
rica I testify that there is none worthy of worship. But Allah, one
with no partners, wash had to Annette Mohammed Abdullah, who
were a solo and I testify that Muhammad is His servant, slave and
messenger. Okay, that's what you're going to say. In the first
sitting. If it's four or three records, that's really the first
one.
Then if it's the last record, okay, which like, for example, the
second record of Federer, the third of Madrid, fourth of the
Austro Naisha. And this second record of all the sudden the
prayers, you're going to add now here, a special prayer. That is
about the Prophet Ibrahim on a Salam. In which you say Allahumma
Salli ala Muhammad, wa ala Ali Muhammad, Oh Allah, send prayers
Salawat are blessings on Muhammad and the family of Mohammed. What
are her Muhammad Ali Muhammad and have mercy on Muhammad in the
family of Muhammad? wa barik ala Muhammad wa ala Muhammad blessed
Muhammad and the family of Muhammad
and then Kemah the word Kemah here means just as
just as camera sir later, what are him to Woba doctor, just as you
have bestowed Salawat
mercy and blessings on Ibrahim
Ali, Ibrahim, Ibrahim on Ibrahim Prophet Abraham, why Allah Ali
Ibrahim and on the family of Abraham fille al Amin in Naka,
Hamidah, Majid and all of the world's you are the most
praiseworthy
and magnificent the word Phil Alameen means in all the worlds
Phil Alameen in Naka, you are you see again cap K at the end that
means you in Nica you are. Okay Hamedan Majeed most praiseworthy
and most magnificent
okay so I'll say this again and if you want to throw up your phones
and record this you could do that.
I am
throw up your phones I can just hit record and record it off for
you on your own phones alternatively, I do plan to just
make a quick recording of all these things and then email it to
everyone on an mp3
right
anyone else got got a phone
to
adhere to dilla Zakia to the payback or Salawat Tula As salam o
aleikum un Nabi warahmatullahi, wabarakatuh As salam o Alina where
Allah adalah salah Hain a shadow and Illa Illa Allah Wanda who lash
recolor what a shadow and Muhammad Abdul Hora su Allahumma Salli ala
Muhammad wa ala early Muhammad Warham Muhammad, Allah Muhammad
were barik ala Muhammad wa ala early Muhammad Kamal so later What
are him to a Baraka Allah Ibrahim Walla Walla, early Ibrahim
Philomena in the middle Majeed.
Alright,
that's that
this is yours.
Again, I'm going to lose this one. All right, again, I'm going to
record this and send it out to everyone. So
that's this now, when you start praying, when you're learning to
pray, you can read it. Right? You could just hold the book while
you're praying and you could read it.
Right? You do this over time, you're gonna memorize it. Okay,
over time, you're gonna just try it. Just try to remember these
these pronouns, which helps you know where you are. So when you
say salam alayka, Johanna B
PSB to you. Oh, Prophet cat means to you now is us.
Alright, any questions on this?
Yep.
actually learned it without seeing it.
Is it acceptable? Yeah, those little minor differences are fun.
That's fine. Yeah.
Any questions?
Okay. Now we go to chapter 22.
Chapter 22, we come to another aspect of the prayer, which
is neither from the obligations nor from the recommendations, but
is just literally physically how did the Prophet stand and this we
call the hate? Hate? Is how do we do it? Like literally, how do you
do it? The same as if someone says set the table? Right, what are you
set on? When you set the table? What do you have to put there are
some obligatory parts, the plate, the fork, the knife, the spoon,
the napkin, and the cup. Right six parts for each person. But how do
we put it, you put the knife on the right side facing the plate.
Then next to the spoon. Then on the left side, you put the fork
and under the spoon in the knife, you put the napkin and then you
put the cup upside down in front of the fork, the spoon in the
knife, right? That's the hate of how to set a table. So here we're
talking about the hater, nothing of the hater. If you mess it up,
it will not
it will not
invalidate your prayer. But if you want to know exactly how the
Prophet prayed, this is how he does it. Alright, so let's go to
Raheel you want to read for us
and move on
But
before therefore it is not moving either because we will be done
with the future destiny does not adversely affect
the dependencies that probably could
have been voted behind the
Pacific once they used
to toppling over
the
ROM Gods so we said earlier the TIC theatre is like this, but if a
person was to happen to do
with his palms facing upwards, or his fingers touching his ear
lobes, all of these subtle differences won't affect the
prayer. Okay? So that's it's like the
guy next to standing behind should be directed
in
the eyes or doesn't get ahead.
Good
either or, like you said,
we like to get a good kick out. Instead of here's what's gonna
take off and above, above or below the bike riding on that one weapon
versus riding on as a bomb.
Okay, so how did the Prophet stand in the prayer, the proper standing
is to, in terms of the placement of the hands, is to have one's
hands around, right hand over the left, on the belly buttons
slightly above or slightly below, okay, and if one was to put the
right hand on the forearm, or if they were to pray with their arms
down, all of these are variously accepted, valid ways of prayer,
and none of that validates or invalidates the prayer, although
the dominant of all the Muslims is to have your hand your left hand
on your belly button, and your right hand on top of your left
hand. That is that's the the dominant of how you find a Muslim
pray.
Okay, keep going.
Before and after, with the
arms up before and after the
Companions like the non
profit upon him.
Okay, so again, the one raising of the hands that we're going to do
is always when you enter the prayer, Allahu Akbar, now
someone's making prayer. And then before they go down to the core,
you're raising the hands again, go down to record, come up, raise the
hands again. It said, this is someone who wants to beautify his
prayer. Okay.
This is not one of the optional things, but someone who wants to
beautify their prayer. And it's narrated that the Prophet did
this. Some of the companions said no, he didn't do this. So that
means probably he did it sometimes and didn't do it all the time. So
some companions saw it and some didn't see it. So if he did it
sometimes and did not do it other times. At that point, it's an
optional, it's not a obligation in the prayer.
The eyes
after the cruise once Jeff still with his hands at his size, I'm
gonna see that others are trembling hands.
is acceptable, I'll be not the dominant position.
I must go into subdued softly with humility and not slamming his
knees on the ground, and exhausted beasts of burden may go down to
the knees, or arms crossed, such that man's arms must be out such
that from elbow to elbow and make us feel like
there is demonic prayer. It's not possible. At the very least the
elbows must be on for
too long. All right. So when there's a Jamar prayer, which is a
congregation of group prayer, there'll be so many men in the row
it won't be possible to have your arms out. At the very least, the
man should always have his elbows above the ground. The woman
however, she may rest her elbow on the ground.
