Good to go Alhamdulillah Hello Bill alameen wa salatu wa salam O Allah Abdullah he will slowly nebby you know a happy winner Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Allah and he saw happy woman he Tiburon be signing Eli amiti.
What are we up to now? Where do we have to? What are we doing? Yes.
How to Pray very good. Let me ask you some general knowledge, questions about the prayer. First of all, just really simple, simple things. Who has to pray?
Who has to pray?
You and I go for it. Good. Anyone can answer Dory. No one is on the camera. I mean, there's a lot of people watching you on YouTube and nobody can see you. They can only see me. Okay.
Or maybe there's not a lot of people because we didn't show you in the class. Nevermind.
What do you think?
Yes, Rama?
Sorry.
I can't hear you have to speak louder.
Everyone. Okay. So what do you think? If there's a church down the road, and pastor Paul stands one day facing the Qibla. And he says, Allahu Akbar.
Do you think it will be accepted from him? No, he does have to pray. Right? But he's not praying. Because he has to what does he have to bring first? What do you have to bring before you pray? You have to bring something first.
Islam? Yeah. Now that's really interesting. Because you're right, rock, man, he does have to pray. Everyone has to pray because Allah required from everyone to pray. But those non Muslims, they can't pray until they accept Islam first. So yes, they have to pray. It's like me saying to you, you have to do.
Let's say, I don't know, how can I explain?
You have to do this exam. But to do this exam, you have to pass another exam first.
Does that make sense?
Maybe you're not looking very convinced.
Okay, no, right. So we said that a person Yes, everyone is required to pray. Everybody has to pray. But it's only accepted from the Muslim
and the Muslim who is
required.
Who needs to follow the laws of Islam? Which kind of Muslim doesn't follow the laws of Islam? That's a really hard question. What kind of Muslim? And I'm not sure about that Muslim. I mean, like, what kind of Muslim is not blamed? If they don't pray?
That I'll say that again. What kind of Muslim
is not blamed? They don't get any sin if they don't pray.
Okay, the person who's not saying they're not they don't know what they're doing. So they don't have they don't have any understanding what they're doing. What do you have one right now?
No, even someone who doesn't know how to how to pray, they have to pray, but they pray with what they know. So if they don't know 30, how they don't have to read faster, but they have to still pray. What about age wise?
Oh, everyone's got their hand up now. These young handle? No. Okay. Never mind. We'll ask Alice Alice had his hand up for a while.
Okay, that's really interesting. So there are really people's age. In terms of maturity, what you said is people are not mature. So there's really three ages, there are babies. And there are children who are old enough to know what they're doing. And then there are adults, would you agree with me?
adults doesn't matter whether they're old or young. There are really three ages there are babies.
You know, like the little boy comes in the prayer sometimes and you know, his prays a little bit and then he runs off up behind the soft fan. He runs up and down and then he takes all of our microphone and he says things on the microphone. He's too little.
He's too little to know what he's doing to know he's he's praying so he's will be classed as a baby or toddler very little baby, a very little child. Then Then
is a child who knows what they're doing? What age do people know what they're doing?
I'm 30 something. What am I? How old? Am I?
I 3736. Let's say 30. Let's pretend is 36 something like that. And I don't even know that I'm not completely know what I'm doing all the time. Yes. See? What What do you think?
Okay, seven. That's a good age. I agree with you that by seven, definitely they know what they're doing. But I think it could be younger. Yes.
Six. Yes. I agree. You could get some people at six who, who? They do understand what they do. And I agree.
What do you think?
I agree. He definitely. But I think young, I think seven is the is the end. Meaning that if you reach seven, you definitely know what you're doing. What you think.
I agree with you, some people at five. Mostly, we agree that most three year olds don't know what they don't really know. Like, what they what they do, you could get a really genius, intelligent, super brainy three year old who really knows what they're doing. But generally speaking, you're looking at between five and seven. Roughly speaking, where p where the children start to understand, what am I doing, I'm praying, I'm not allowed to run up and down the sauce. I'm not allowed to turn around and jump up and down and whatever. And then I'm you know, they usually between five and seven, if you see someone who's seven years old, who's running up and down the stuff, that person
needs
to be explained to them gently about the Salah. And if gently doesn't work, they need to have all their sweets taken off them. And they need to have some discipline or something like that. Because by seven years old, you really should understand what you're doing in the prayer. If you reach seven years old, and you don't know what you're doing, really, you're too old to be messing around in the prayer. That's why if I saw a little boy running up and down the prayer up and down the soft funeral, like being silly, and shouting out and jumping up and down. I would just say to him, Hey, baby, how old are you? And if he says to me, Look, you know, three or four, five, or his dad says
he's for no problem. I'm not gonna say anything. I'm not gonna be too harsh and say no problem, shall I try to stay still if you can, because we still don't want to let them mess her up. But we say you know, try to stay still if you can. But if he is, says to me, I'm eight years old. I'm gonna say to him come here
by the ear like that, by the kamiah. You're too old to be doing that. Okay, good. So we understood, we understood that. So we said that
children who are not adults, but are old enough to know what they're doing, is they're pre accepted.
All of you in that age, every single one of you in this class is in that age, and you don't know if you're prize accepted or not. Do you think your prayers are accepted? What do you think?
Do you think your prayers are accepted?
In sha Allah? Okay, yeah, your prayers are accepted.
Or you sinful? If you don't pray? This is a hard question.
Are you gonna get blamed by Allah? is Allah gonna punish you? If you don't pray? This is a difficult question. It's not an easy answer to answer. It's not really a yes or no answer. But there is I mean, we'll start we'll ask you go on.
Good. I agree with you. That's the right answer to start with. But we need to explain the answer. Otherwise, people might think, Oh, well, I'm not going to pray now. So what we would say is, Allah will not punish you. If you don't pray before the age of becoming an adult. People become adults at different ages. It's not 18. Do you know what the age is that? You know, honestly, the scholars agree that you become an adult Act, or not unanimously, but roughly.
What do you think you said? No, it's not. I said, it's not 18. Heavy. Listen, listen to me. This is not 18 1515 is the age is 15. The only age? No, there are people 15 is the last age that you become an adult. Actually, you could become an adult, a 12th. You could become an adult as young as nine. Very rarely. You could become an adult at 13. You could become an adult at 14 but if you reach 15 hijiri nobody is we don't do these birthdays. And we don't do January, February, March in here. This is Islamic class. Yeah. There is no January February, March, April, May, June July. Yeah. Islamic monster ones on the top there on the wall. Yeah.
Hi Ron Safar lobby, our lobby or after, and so on. Yeah, those are when you turn 15, you're an adult, even if you haven't become an adult, so people become an adult through different things and we learn those later on. But once you become an adult and you miss a prayer, you become sinful. In fact, you might even leave Islam is very serious. So why then is it important for children to pray? Why did the Prophet sighs LMC tell them to pray from seven and discipline them? They get they get punishment if they don't pray at 10 years old. Why do you think
that's true? But why you're very you're very right about what you said. But I'm I'm wondering here, why did the Prophet sighs lm say, Tell them to pray at seven. So when your child reaches seven, you have to say fudger get up? The her Come on. assar Come on. mothership Maverick time, Asia, come on. You have to say that to your child at seven, at 10 years old. If they say no, you give them a punishment. According to what allowed back in the day, you would get
a tap on the hand. These days it might not be allowed. I don't know is it allowed for parents to give their kids a tap on the hand? Probably now they throw in prison for 10 years, and throw away the key now. But whatever is allowed, you have to discipline your children. You're grounded. You can no dinner. No sweets. You get Yeah. punishments if you don't from from 10 years old. Why? What's the reason for it? Yes, Sima.
To teach them because if you don't learn the habit to pray now, are you going to start praying at 15? The first day you become 15? How are you going to go from zero press to five press in one day? law, there's a very big chance if you don't start praying at your age now. What's going to happen is you won't be able to pray when you become an adult. And then you might even leave the religion of Islam completely. Which does that make sense? Does that make sense to you? Yeah. If you don't pray now on time, are you going to start praying on time when you're 15? Not really, it's going to be very hard. But what's the good thing about now? It's you've got time to learn. If you make a mistake
a lot not going to put you in jahannam forever because you made a mistake at your age. Does that make sense? Like your age now a lot not going to put you in jahannam forever because you made a mistake. But when you become an adult things are serious. You might stop praying and that's it. For Hol FM embody him hallford agarose salata with Deborah shallot Sofia Kona via they came after them or people they stopped praying and they followed what they wished for what they liked. And Allah put them into Johanna forever because they didn't pray. masala comfy Sarkar column nickel Mina masala lien what put you into the fire? They said we weren't from the people who used to pray. So it's very
serious thing for someone to leave the prayer. So for you guys now it's your time to learn. Can I just get an idea of ages can you put your hand up if you are five years old?
Six years old.
Seven years old.
Okay, you guys got your hand up at seven? Your mums and dads should be seen to you for every prep. Come on. Come on. Even if you fast asleep. Come on. Come on. Yeah, come and pray.
Eight
okay?
You are eight Wallah. Okay. Nine.
Okay. And 10
and above 10
none of you got How old are you two.
Okay, so, so you guys are very close to becoming adults, you're not far away very close to becoming adults. So it's very serious for you guys. Now. Those who are above 10 years old. You miss a prayer. All problems come in. Problems happening. That's what the prophet sallallahu wasallam
taught us
okay.
We're now going to talk about how to pray. So I'm actually going to split this class up into different parts. But today's class we're just going to go through the basics of how to pray. And I might ask the cameraman if possible sometimes I might want you to adjust the camera while I show people because the profit slice Emmys to show people how to prey on the member.
He didn't use to just describe how to pray. He used to show you how to prey on the member. Now I'm not I've got a lot of microphones and things attached. So I'm not going to stand up if I can help it but if I need to, I will. Okay, so you can sit right there. We'll be fine. Shall Okay. All right. To start the prayer now we've got our will do
we have the right claws on.
We're facing the Qibla we had a big a lot of fun last week finding the Tabler Allahu Stein. Some of you are praying to Jerusalem. Some of you plant in New York. Some of you are praying all over the place. We didn't know where we were.
Okay, we got a good door. Now we know the Qibla is this way right behind me. I'm sitting My back is facing the table you guys your faces are facing but most of you, those who are sitting straight your faces are facing the table or the table is this way. Okay. You face in the paper. What's the first thing that you need to do?
Yes,
we did already we'll finish we did that in last class. But you weren't here but we did it in the last class we did. How to make evolution everything okay.
Danny, intention. I like that. The first thing you need to do is intention. So is it true that you're going to stand down you're going to say Allahumma inni sofa or suddenly Otto Baraka RT Motegi. haniel Qibla ser el ambiente. Via
Did anyone ever do that? No. Do we think it might not be the right thing to do then? No, it's not the right thing to do. The right thing to do for intention What is it? How would you say if someone asked you to explain what intention
you answer?
No, you don't say it quietly that's just the same that's just the same
No, no, no. Well, I tell you funny you want a funny story about this? It's not a funny story because will lie serious that I want sauce on one as Subhan Allah, they missed Raka art of the prayer making their intention. They came to Medina and you smile about it but it's not I mean for them it's not funny but it was funny to watch in a way they came to the mistake of never we I was in Medina, we saw they came in front of you know, the rose in Medina don't. It's not always you can sometimes someone comes late and they squeeze in a gap in front of you. And he came and he stood.
And he went like this.
And you know, when they do their intention, they sometimes put their fingers on the ears as well. I have no idea why maybe it's a check. I'm not wearing earrings or something. I'm not sure. Yeah. But it's not from Islam. I don't know where they got this from. Yeah. And he started or law I'm gonna pray for No.
Or, or law I'm gonna know.
Or like the monster Allah Akbar. Then that threw him off. He stopped. He stopped. He says ready again. He remembered his intention. or semi Allah holy Mohammed. Okay, now he got, I don't know how many locked out of the prayer he missed.
Until he got his intention. Right. And he started the prayer. And all of this is bid at na anzahl Allah who we haven't so fun, is not from our religion of Islam. They took it from somewhere else. There is no touching of the ears in there. I can't think of any situation in Islam, where it is necessary for you to put your thumbs on your ears. Except when you're cleaning the back of them in Moodle.
I don't know of any situation where you need to hold on to the bottom of your ears. In Islam for Allah. I can't think of what Okay, so there is no intention in your heart. So, I mean, in your like quietly how, what is intention? Yes.
What do you mean in your heart?
You know what you're doing? In other words, I'm standing here facing the Kapler, why am I here? If someone stopped you and said Dr. Mohammed, Tim, what are you doing? I said, I'm standing because I'm going to pray and I'm going to pray for her and I'm gonna pray for a cat and that's what I'm doing. You know what you're doing? Because you know you're doing that your intention. intention just means to know what you are doing.
What about someone who just came in, you know a little bit thinking about other things. I standing there thinking wow, everyone's quiet at the moment.
thinking wow, to quiet in here, I stand quietly.
Yeah, you have to know what you're doing before you pray. And that could happen sometimes with a non Muslim who comes to join the prayer or something like that or a new Muslim, it could happen sometimes. But generally you have to know what you're doing. Why are you standing here? I'm standing here to pray. Okay. That's why you're here. So you know that. Okay, good. You've got your intention. What's the next thing? We've alluded to it quite a few times. We mentioned it.
stop praying. Okay.
Alhamdulillah here on Villa alemi. Does not the right answer. I'm just reciting.
Before Allahu Akbar, you're right about love. I probably for a lot like Malaysia.
Time is gone. Time went last lesson. class time is finished. Or time is fine.
Yeah, time.
I mentioned this so many times.
Already in this class, I've said the word maybe 10 times.
I think I'm going to break something if I do this, but I'll try.
Stand. Okay, because to pray, you have to stand? Stop.
What are the rules of standing in the prayer?
To pray you have to stand? By what other? When do you stand always? Or sometimes you can say? Or when can you say? How much can you sit? Yes.
That's true. A very good answer. What she said is, she said that sometimes people who are very old sit on a chair. So what we're going to actually explain that a little bit more sort of, in more detail. We're going to say that if you're not able to stand, you can sit for the parts that you're not able to stand. Do you need to sit on a chair? No, you don't just sit on a chair.
Generally speaking, they didn't have a lot of chairs in the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
Some of the kings and people like that. But generally speaking, they they sat if they wanted to sit, they would sit on the floor. But when do you sit when you can't stand? What about if you can stand a little bit.
But you can't stand all the prep. Like if you've got a bad back. And it's going to hurt you a little bit to stand. But you can stand you're struggling with the with the sujood maybe
stand for what you can everyone watching us on YouTube, you have to listen to this really important because biggest mistake we see from people who are praying on a chair, they don't stand when they can. And that's why they're mad. They say minshall to salaat, from the conditions of the prayer during the prayer,
from the things that are
from the essential elements of the prayer, is that you stand mile qudra as much as you are able to stand you stand. So if you're able to stand the key arm, but you can't do the sujood. Okay, stand for that and sit for the statute. But if you do have to sit one time, how do you do bowing? And how do you do such that? We see some weird things. I see some people doing such in there.
Yeah, this some of the lemma, they said it's also not allowed in Islam. Yeah, it's not like that.
How do you do it,
you have to make your sujood lower than your Roku. So when you do your bowing, you go a little bit and when you do subdued you go more. That's it.
That's it. You don't need to put your head on the ground, like some kind of like twisting over like that. And you don't need to, you know, make such that in the air or anything like that. You just need to make your head a little bit down. And then when you do in this edge that make it down a lot. We'll come to that later. Okay. We spoke about that. What other reason might you have for sitting down in the prayer?
Sorry.
We mentioned Sima mentioned old people, elderly, unwell, sick, all of that mentioned.
Yeah, all of those who mentioned
all of those who mentioned
disabled, you know, constant pain, illness, sickness, all the rage. We mentioned all of them.
Don't give silly answers. Otherwise, I'll time you out. I'll give you a timeout.
What about when you can't stand? because of something that stopped. I mean you healthy your well, but there's something that stops you from standing.
Have you ever had that happen to you before? It's happened to me a lot of times. Something stopped me from standing up. Any idea what that thing might be?
Come on kids you've seen plenty of times.
Sorry.
Are you really going to have to shout otherwise, I'm going to give you the microphone and I'm going to talk with my normal voice.
I still didn't hear your friend can shout out.
Okay, yeah, test from a lie I am. That's true. But I'm, I'm telling you about something different. something much more normal.
I'm feeling great. I'm fully awake. I'm not sick at all. But something is stopping me from standing up.
Nope.
How about an airplane seat belt when the signs are switched on?
Yeah, you're on a plane.
You're not allowed to take your seatbelt off. There's no space to pray. The time for prayer comes the planes not gonna land until you finish praying. There's nowhere to pray in the aisle. They won't let you you try to pray in the in the kitchen. They won't let you pray there. I mean, the plane in the galley they don't call it a kitchen they call a guy they call a galley, right? The galley or whatever, you can't pray there. So you have to pray in your seat because you aren't able to stand up.
What about Sunnah prayers? Do you have to stand in your surrender press?
How many times you guys in Ramadan? YouTube in Ramadan
plunk yourself down and you don't know that you can sit in the
okay so in the sooner prayers that are not the five prayers not fair job not beholden to us or not Muslim, not Asia, sooner prayers you can sit when you sit what happens? You get half the reward.
Okay, that makes sense. So you can sit in your sooner press, but you get half the reward. So if someone said to you, can you pray in the car on the way to school? What would the answer be?
What do you think it is, you
know, for the fourth prep, the the fetcher and things like that you can't pray in the car on the way to school. Why? Because you have to stand. Someone says, Well, I can't stand because I've got a seatbelt. Yeah, but you can stop the car and you can get out and you can pray. So there's no I mean, you can't stop the plane and get out in midair. And pray, right? Yeah, without a parachute. Maybe with a parachute? You might find it hard to face the Qibla. But that's another story. Okay. We've covered that. So now, we said but what about the sooner prayer? What about if you wanted to pray a door? How on the way to school? Like a sooner prayer? Can you pray that in the car sitting down?
Go on use the tongue. Yeah. Yes, you can. Yes, you can.
Yes, you can. You should try to face the Qibla in the beginning. But if you can't face the Qibla all the way. Like if you start if you start turning left and right, and you can't face to table all the way that's also okay in the singer prep a nine to five. Okay. Very good. We've stood up. We're facing the Qibla. We are ready to pray we have our intention. Now, Alicia, what do we do?
You told me already. That's awesome.
We say Allahu Akbar. Now when we say Allahu Akbar there is as a movement that we do. There's a hand movement that we do. And it doesn't involve touching the earlobes.
I don't know what it is about the ear lobes for people.
While you hear some weird things, I heard some people say before, that the reason you raise your hands is to because this habit used to carry idols under their armpits and they would make them drop that there people have some strange ideas about Islam. Very strange ideas. Okay. This class is not as serious as I was intending it to be in the beginning, right. So where do you raise your hand
too.
Okay. shoulders. Okay. Anyone else got a different answer?
shoulders. Okay, that's not a different answer though.
Stop it otherwise I give you time.
Sorry, T is correct. Also. Very good. Also, I gave two correct answers to your shoulders, and two ears. And actually, you can actually do anywhere in that range. Because some of the Heidi's mentioned level with the ear lobes not touching the ear lobe level with them. Okay. level with them. And some mentioned level with her shoulders. Okay. level with the ear lobes level with the shoulders. Okay. Oh, and some of the scholars, do you know what they said? They said they both the same thing. How are they both the same thing? Because if the bottom of your hand is level with your shoulder, the top of your hand is level with your ear lobe. So
like that? How should your fingers be?
No.
No? Okay. Fingers just natural. Yeah. They don't have to be like closed. Just natural. Okay. Okay. Are we okay for seeing this on the camera? Yeah.
Okay, like that. Okay, and your palms should be facing the table. So it's not like this. And yes, you will see some people sometimes I've seen people doing that. I've seen people after before. ruku I've seen people go
like this.
Yeah, all sorts of things. You'll see people don't know how to pray. How wide should your arms be apart?
We see what life you see you kids praying. It's very strange. Sometimes I see you like this.
Sometimes I don't I didn't see anyone do this. Okay.
Shoulder weights. Okay. A lot who act up? Which is more important, serious question, which is more important. moving your hands or seeing Allahu Akbar?
As a tough question in it.
No, yesterday, saying a lot like what is more important? That's true.
A lot more about Okay, my hands are here. Now, where do my hands go?
Okay, my left hand. Does everyone know difference between left and right. Okay, you do realize when you look at me, it's going to look opposite? Yeah. Because, for me, my this is my left. And this is my right. Okay. I don't have a watch. Otherwise I would. But might This is my left hand. Yeah, really. It just looks backwards in the camera. And my left hand goes on my chest.
It doesn't go on my stomach. No, but that's that's some of the scholars say you can't laugh at that. Some of the scholars said it but it doesn't go on my stomach. And it doesn't go by my sights. No, no, that's not to laugh at some people. You'll see genuinely some brothers. You'll see in the masjid pray like that they pray with their hands by the sides. Some people pray. Like they're cradling a baby.
No, no, really? No, they do. They pray like that. Where should your left hand be?
on your chest?
Where should your right hand be?
on top of your left hand. You've got some options here. Okay, you can just put your right hand on top of your left.
Okay, putting it like this. You see, I'm not holding anything. I'm not grabbing anything. I've just got my left hand. Here is my left hand here. And I got my right hand. Here. Okay. Oh, you can hold on to your wrist if you would like. So this is my left wrist. My right hand.
Like this, just holding on to it not doesn't have to be like I'm not, you know? Yeah. Okay. And if you want to, you can place them on the front of your arms. Not really, all the way like, just on the front on the front part of your arms if you want to. So what was our three options everyone showed me so I can see you know what you're doing? Left hand
here. Right hand. Your hands are very low. Put your hands higher. Yeah. Okay. Okay, poor hands. You guys know, chest, chest, on your chest.
Here, don't. Don't put your
sulo on your chest, okay, left hand, right hand, or you can hold your hand like that. Or you can put your hand on your arm.
Okay?
Now, where am I looking? Where are my eyes looking?
at the ground, excellent. My eyes need to be looking at the place where my forehead is going to touch the ground where my forehead is going to touch the ground. That's where my eyes are looking. Mostly for you kids. It is a problem. admit it's a problem. Yeah, a lot of kids we see.
We do. Um, you guys are laughing but you know, it's true. Yeah, I come in sometimes if I'm late for before, after the man may take me I see the girls praying at the back. And some of the boys praying and to be honest. Yeah, it's not easy. But it's not easy for adults, either. It's not just kids, even SubhanAllah. I find myself sometimes your eyes get distracted by something. You pray and you just see something and you your eyes get distracted. You have to really concentrate and not just your head. Concentrate on your eyes. Not Try not to make your eyes. You know, the problem is what what's the problem? We have a lot of interesting things on the floor. That's why In short, the
mystery is caught up, it's going to get replaced. We're going to have a plain carpet with nothing. Because everything distracts you, right? You're looking like
patterns. Do you not know that? You know the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he was distracted by patterns. One time when he was praying. And the thing that had the patterns on he took it and he gave it to somebody else. Because it was distracted. He didn't want anything that will distract him from his prayer. So all these prayer mats with pictures of the cat on wall law, my advice is don't use it. While I don't use it, try to have nothing. In fact, I prefer to keep a prayer mat that is completely plain,
like completely black or blue or red, totally plain, and just put it on the carpet. So I don't even get distracted by the design on the carpet Bayshore in the mystery. We're going to change this carpet in a few more weeks time. And we're going to go for a plain plain coffee challah, because we don't want people to get distracted in their Salah. And while it goes you have to pay attention. Okay?
You try to keep your eyes You try. Now what helps to keep your eyes and your hands and your body still is a really difficult question. What helps to keep your eyes and your hand
your body still what stops you from moving around and shuffling on your feet? You think that's bad? I've seen kids in the software nor another guy picked up his phone that was the adult First of all, I've seen kids in the south and you guys know it's true. Yeah. In the soft ear.
Kick somebody
take two steps to the right kick their brother really hard in the back of the leg and then run back in the soft I've seen it a lot more than once. I've seen there was two kids when they used to pray these to pray in was in either healing mosquito aid. They used to pray and when one of them is praying and the other one's not looking he slapped his brother really hard on the back. Like he has no prayer his prayer is not accepted one accepted while aka not recovered from it yet. So what helps you to stop doing that in the Salah?
Go on unless you have an answer.
Focused Okay, what does it What does it mean? What What can how can we help people if you're going to help your friend you saw your friend in the salon like in his brother, or just like rocking back and forth rocking back and forward and back and forward or side to side? Or get what can What would you say to him to help him to be focused? What can help you to be focused in your Salah?
Yeah, not having distraction for your eyes. I agree with that. Very good.
concentrate on what you're saying. You're talking to Allah.
Really, you're actually asking Allah for things. Yeah, and everything good that could ever happen in your life. Who does it come from? From Allah right? You're asking Allah for things. So you don't want to be thinking about forget about everything you think make your heart also you know what helps. Don't run to the Salah.
Have you ever run to catch the Salah? And then how do you feel when you run up the stairs?
And you can't finish far too high even without you got no breath. And even if you've got your breath, your mind is racing. Your mind is like everywhere. Go slowly. Finally, you can be Sakina. While we're calm, go slowly, and go nicely, calmly to the prayer. Don't rush, when the prayer finishes, don't get up and run away, like after one second. Because also your mind just starts going, you know, you're making Tisha who just sitting down, and you're making the childhood, but your mind is thinking about where's my friend going to be is he finished his prayer, like, make your seller when you finish your prayer, just sit for a second, just see yourself it'll last of stuff for
a while. Then get up and go if you have to. But don't know me a bit slowly. It's better for you. Take it slowly. What else could help you? Knowing what you're seeing in the prayer? How many people they just pray just Arabic words? hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen urashima annual Rahim? How many people know what that means? Not many. I think some of you I know do, but not many of you know what it means. And that doesn't help you to concentrate. Would you see it as true if you don't really know what you're seeing is a bit hard to concentrate? Yeah. Remember, you're standing in front of Allah.
You're standing in front of a lot of pray. If you were standing in front of the king of a country
would you be like looking around and play going from foot to foot a running up and down. You would be allies much greater than any King. So you have to remember who you're standing in front of. Also, when you come to the masjid remember the masjid is not for running around. We still let we enjoy you to play we love you to play in the mystery. To be honest, I love for the to see the kids playing the masjid. Because if our kids are not playing in the masjid, they're going to be playing on the street corners and they're going to be playing in places they shouldn't be. We love to see you in the mystery. But remember, the masjid is a place you have to give it respect right? It's the most
pleased that Allah loves in the whole world. Allah doesn't have any place in the whole world more than he loves the masjid all the mystery
the massage it all of the place the massage it yet. So Allah loves them more than any place in the world. So you have to give it respect when you come in. Try to slow yourself down, relax a bit. Maybe if you know if the kids are playing it, you can play with them. But when the prayer time comes, it's not playtime. And that will help to just get your brain free of things. Do you think shaytan sometimes comes to you and whispers in the prayer.
It does the Prophet size and mentioned one of the very strong shaytaan shaytaan usually is not very strong. One of the very, very strong shell team. They come in, they whisper to you in the prayer. They tell you, you forgot to this. You forgot, they said they said it's important.
We'll look at that over there. And they confuse you. I think you'd have to call on or you'd have to keys or the houses like this or what am I going to do afterwards? I've got remember I need to email this person. I've got a phone this person I've got used I know was all my friend is going to be waiting for on your mind your scores from the press gone. So you have to fight against that shape time. Bring it back every time.
Keep concentrating. Okay, good. So we spoke about our eyes, we spoke about your heart. My point was if you want your eyes to be still, your heart has to be still. If your heart's not still, your eyes will never be still. What I mean is if your heart is if your mind is full of things, girls can look over here. If your mind is full of things, full of things, you won't be able to keep your head and your arms and your shoulders still if your mind is full of things. Your first of all, your heart has to be still and if your heart is still and your mind is empty, then you'll be able to be still Do you know how still the Sahaba used to be. Well lice narrated from some of them that they were so
still that a bird would fly and would land on them because it thought they were statue
with a bird ever you guys don't can't stay still for three seconds. That bird will land on your head and think your statue you guys no way they used to stand and I can't do it either. Used to stand sore still, that perhaps a bird would land on them because he thought they were statue competely Lee still some of the scholars used to see if you move three times you have to pray again.
If we did that there'd be a lot of people praying again to tell you that there be a lot of people don't finish their five prayers in the day if we had to pray every time you make three movements. So it's not true but it's still any shows you how important it is girls
He shows you you turn around a bit. And good to go. You have to. So it shows you how still people used to be in.
Okay, now I'm in position. I'm standing. My eyes are looking down, my hands are in the right place. And I'm ready to start. What's the first thing that I start my prayer with?
Now I said the first thing I didn't say the first obligatory thing. I said the first thing.
What do I start my prayer with?
What's the first word? First of all, when I say words in the prayer, what do I mean by seeing words?
What do you think Rama?
I need a macabre salt.
Okay, the surah is okay. But what do I mean by saying words? What do you have to what does it mean to say a word?
So your tongue in your mouth has to move. Okay. So it is not saying a word to do this.
I've said fatty. No, he didn't say fatty had your tongue has to move. And your mouth has to move. Okay?
No, not like that. Because we're going to come to the things that break your prayer. One of the things that breaks your prayer is eating and drinking. So if you are sat chewing something that's not, it's not good enough. And you're also going to get timeout in a minute. So
you have to move your mouth. Okay, you have to move your lips. You have to move your mouth. Is that does that make sense to everybody? Okay. Generally in the prayer when we're not reading aloud? How loud should we say the words? Should it be like subhanak Allahumma. Burnham de cada Baraka smoke up
loud enough so that you can hear, but the person next to you doesn't get disturbed.
Okay, now, I don't know if I can do that. I probably can't because I've got this little little microphone.
I can hear myself there. You guys can't hear me. But if I use this microphone.
If even when I make the microphone a bit far away.
You can't hear right. So it wouldn't disturb the person next to me. But the word is coming out. It's not like
there's nothing coming out. Yeah. So you have to actually say something. Okay, what's the first thing you say?
Go on Xena.
Very good. But before Bismillah Bismillah is the first thing you have to say you're right. But before that there's something you can say if you know it, if you know it. Now, when I say if you know I just want to stop a second is very important. In the prayer if you don't know how to pray yet, if this is if you're learning how to pray, and you're watching this video, don't learn the things that are optional until last. Does that make sense? When you're learning to pray, learn the optional things last, learn the things you have to do first, but we're going to cover all of them. But this part I'm going to tell you about now is optional. So if you don't know it, you need to
first make sure you know all the parts you have to know. Then come back and do the optional ones. So this is an optional one.
What's it called?
What you call it when you
What's it called? What's this called? Do I Okay, do I L is
a means the art of starting the art of opening the prayer beginning the prayer. Okay, there are there are lots of different ones. Does anyone know any do after starting the prayer? They're all optional. By the way, you don't have to do them. Okay. So I don't want you guys to learn them if you learn them later. But does anyone know?
Okay, very good. So hi, Nicola. Huma will be handy. I'm going to see it very slowly. So behind Kala Huma won't be handy. What about our case smoke, water.
Jet Duke y la isla de la Yurok. That's one
Does anyone know any others?
Okay, I'm going to give you a homework.
I want you to see for those who know it already, if you know, who knows the panic alarm will be Hamrick.
Okay, those of you who know it, your homework is to go and learn a different one.
Okay, you have to find a proper authentic one.
I think I think on diaz.com You can find it d u s.com. on how to pray.com I think you can find as well. Those were two websites I knew about to ask.com we'll have
another one. Okay, if you don't know this one, then it will be good to learn this one if you've learned fatty her and you know the Tisha, you know the whole prayer, but you don't know this, then learn subhanak Allahumma will be handy. What about I can smoke water? jet duck. Well, Isla, how can you work? that's optional. Now what do we do?
So
before the Bismillah there's something else that usually people do before Bismillah
Yeah, it's optional, but it's it's better to do it.
Well, either Clara Tilak or Erna
Fest in Billahi min ash shaytani
r o to be lahemaa shaytani Raji
is better, that you should say I will do Billahi min ash shaytani r rajim. Does everyone know how to say that?
Although Billahi min ash Shea thaw Neil Raji.
Okay,
and then we start so little 30 ha. What disorder 230 has started with
this Mila here, man your brain, generally usually. Forgive me Scheffer people, we usually say Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim quietly. If you say aloud, it's not forbidden to say aloud, but we usually
I personally believe the Sunnah is to say
quietly. Okay, which means that quietly so far we've said, and I'll use this microphone. So panicle lawnmower be handy. What about a customer? What are what are you? I
mean, a shaytani r rajim Bismillah. Your manual Rahim. Now you're going to recite the rest of Surah 230. Who can recite how you go on? I'll do let you see her. So I can hear? Yeah.
No, no. Bismillah and quietly
to quiet.
Louder.
money to me.
Very good. Very nice. How many of you know sorts of data really well.
It's okay. If you don't you don't have to put your hand up and say it's okay. It's not it's not a competition. Everyone's gonna learn it right. You're gonna everyone's gonna learn it. Not everyone knows that in my class I've seen I can honestly say in my class. I know some of the kids who are reading Quran to me, they don't know source of Fatiha property. So let's go through soldier Fatiha line by line and you can watch this video again and you can learn learning. Okay, so the first thing we said is be smillie hero manual Rahim him and that's quietly okay. Al Hamdulillah he won't be law let me
okay.
Everyone know that. Okay.
All right, man. You're watching
Maliki mi D.
He cannot Bududa he can as I mean, he dinos car autonomous del ping car all levena un and I lay him while
being on a, you know, on knee pain and what do we see afterwards? And, okay,
if we read in sorts of fatty how quietly it's the same surah but we read it quietly. So I'm going to do it with the big mic so you can hear me Alhamdulillah europian mean,
Rahim, Maliki amin Dean. He cannot. He cannot Stein. Dino sera Panama's stalking Sara Todd leadin. an entirely him lawyer ilma to vrla in one of
the
Yeah. If you're praying behind the Imam and the Imam is reading quietly, you have to read it. You can't just stand a lot of children we see standing the Imam is reading
and the kids are just standing. No, you have to read yourself. Okay. So you have to read. All right. If you don't know sort of Fatiha. Okay, my class, your homework is that you have to try and learn sort of Fatiha by next week. Do you think you could do that? How many is in sorts of Fatiha?
How many is
seven is
that's one of the names of sort of society had the seven is you keep on repeating several muthoni the seven you keep repeating sorts of it has seven is? So if you learn one idea every day, then by next week. You're ready you finished sort of 30 Okay, so all the ones who didn't put the hand up in the class and all those who are watching at home that haven't memorized sorta 230 Hmm. I think you can memorize one idea if you struggling. No problem, do half. Do one eye every two days. But one week, two weeks, we need to get sort of 30 her finished. Why? Because Surah 230 ha is a rokan It's a pillar of the prayer. What does that mean? a pillar of the prayer? What does that word mean? pillar
of the prayer.
Give me a simple answer. And it's
more than that what happens when you take a pillar out of a building?
The building falls down and what happens if you take sort of 30 How have your prayer, your prayer falls down you've got no prayer. But what if you can't do it? Well, if you can't do it,
do the best you can there are some people can't do it. You know for example, new Muslim doesn't know any Arabic words. Struggling just do the best you can if you know some of it, do some of it if you don't know say what you know what, you know how to praise Allah. If you know how to say Alhamdulillah La ilaha illAllah whatever you can, but since you guys all know sort of infatti How then I would expect all of you to be reading Surah 1230
Okay. All right up to me.
All right. After sorla 230 in our first part of the prayer, what are we going to do next?
And I have to highlight that this is optional A lot of people don't know this is optional. They think you have to do it but you don't have to do is option
read whatever is easy from the Quran. I didn't see a surah because Allah said felco matta, yes salamin alclad read whatever is easy from the Quran.
one ayah two is three is a surah half a surah but what did the Prophet so I said we used to do
used to read a whole surah he didn't used to read a part of the ayat and things like that, but you can read whatever is easy for you. Okay, whatever is easy for you. So what's an easy surah who could you tell me a sewer apart from solar 230 Yeah, that's easy. Yes. robbia
saltiness, that's even a little bit difficult maybe was easier. uncertainness
kulu Allahu Ahad
who can recite someone different than to recite kulu Allahu Ahad for me now You had your you recite Fatiha for me.
We're gonna recite it really nicely for me.
You put your hand up before you know
Like now, yeah, you put your hand up for 30
Yeah, you read for me?
No. Okay, who else? Oh sweet
Oh everyone's shy. Shall I read? Oh no go on you read again.
Are we not doing Bismillahirrahmanirrahim? Okay Bismillah again quietly
good but you need to remember you're making on the dial Koon who Allahu Ahad. Yeah.
Allahu sarmad
lamea Lee don't wanna moolah.

Allah He was with Sophie so Doreen is Mina gene T one
Okay, so there's just examples and you can read whatever you is easy for you. If you find social Baccarat easy no problem early
mean that he Calcutta. No problem. That's what's easy for you. You read what's easy for you, okay. From the Quran. What you find easy? Definitely, though, what would you say? You should definitely how many soldiers would you say is that you should everybody all you kid should at least know even if you're not going to Qur'an class. What would you say is reasonable?
Okay, I'm going to hear all of you What do you think? 12?
Yeah.
Okay, six, six. What do you think?
I think around 10, around 10. I think if you can read from Surah to us, or how many is it? sortal acid, and omega and I feel
and that's what you're right. That's 12 Yeah, and Quraysh and maroon and alcocer and El Kheir furon and UNASUR and an asset, and a class and a fella kindness. That's your right, that's 12 I think if you know 12, even 10. That's, that's if you're not going to Quran class. That's, I would say minimum just so you have something to read how many, by the way, how many you can add to we read the Quran in every day.
The second sort, I'm not sort of 30.
So in fetcher One, two, in Vol. Two,
all day all day.
Two times five. Right.
That's why some of the scholars mentioned 10 because two times five.
That means you can read a different solar in every record of your prayer.
Come on two times five. Not difficult.
For us 10
means timeout, because you've been told too many times. Now you have to be quiet for five minutes, no answers.
Okay. So
we think around about 10 or 12 minimum.
But realistically, every one of you should know at least juice ama
and juicer ama is how many pages of the Quran
about 20 and a bit, just a little bit
All the Jews a little bit over 2021 22 a little bit over 20 pages of Okay, that's what you should realistically know. But if that sounds too much for you, for the little kids, I think at least the parents with the small children five years old, six years old, at least at least 10 sores.
How many of you know tensors? How many of you know up to sort of feel and you know, as far as lm tell ik farfalla bukoba as Haddonfield.
Okay.
Marshall A lot of you a lot of emotion. So that's what I think you should be up right. That's where I think you should be for the young kids. As you get older now we should be at least at least just
and I believe personally, every single one of you is capable of what? A memorizing the whole Quran
Do you believe me?
Who doesn't believe me? Be honest, who doesn't believe me? When I say all of you can memorize the whole Quran?
Why don't you believe me?
How much have you memorized?
Four to five years?
Is that hard to do? A little bit more?
No. Who doesn't believe me that you can memorize the whole Quran?
You can do a martial law doing really well. I know your hip is doing really well. You can do it while you can. Every one of you here can do it. What does it need to memorize the whole Quran? What do you need? Doesn't need memory Lau ally doesn't need memory,
practice and time.
And patience.
Do you know how many pages there are?
Guys at the back? Also?
How many pages in the whole Quran roughly
600 roughly, so a bit more 603 but 600 pages in the whole Quran. Okay.
I'm not going to see a page a day.
I'm going to say if you did a page every week,
every week you did one page.
roughly how long you think it would take my mouse right is about 12 years, give or take about 12 years, you finish the Quran. You start now you're six years old, seven years old, eight years old.
By the time you reach even 15 1617 you finish the whole Quran, one page a week.
Nevermind one page, you ignore problem one page a month.
You still finish the whole core and your lifetime shala.
But you have to be patient have to be steady. You have to be regular. And you have to give it your time. It doesn't need memory you don't need to be a genius because it's a gift from Allah. That's my that's my proof. Wallah. That's my proof. Learning the Quran is a gift from Allah. It doesn't matter about memory, how much how clever you are, it's a gift from Allah. If you are scared of Allah and you do, Allah tells you and you try your best, Allah will give you to be able to memorize the whole Quran not once 10 times.
Why is it 10 times all the different ways of reading the Quran, you'll be able to read all of them. Why now? Who says you can't do it? Okay, so we talked about reading the Quran and standing. Our next lesson, we're going to talk about the rest of the actions of the prayer, we're going to talk about going into the record, bowing down, we're going to talk about coming back up from the record, we're going to talk about sujood sagitta. But we just take a nice and slowly did everybody understand what we said so far about the start of the prayer. We've covered everything in the standing right, there's nothing left to do now we're standing The next thing we're going to go into the bowing
position, right? roku, we're going to go into the bowing position because we finished everything in the standing that we read far too high. We read our second Surah when do you read the second Surah in which time in the pride you read it? You read it in the first two. The first two times you read you read the first two times that you read you read
that as the second Surah but remember the second sort of still optional so it's more important that you you know you work on social Fatiha is more important for now and then slowly add your second Surah so that you know you know more inshallah anyone got questions for me
Well, I wish we had questions on the YouTubes of *, I have to apologize. But it's YouTube's rules, that if you do classes for children, you're not allowed to have the chat open. But I know some of the parents might have the kids messaging from home.
Maybe they can ask the questions. anyone had any questions up to that point?
What was your question? You can come back in the cluster?
Are they not doing the like the mischief that is not good. That doesn't count the MSG that is not good. It doesn't count in what Allah loves. So I give an example there was a Masjid in the time of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam that was built for them. 115 It was built for the people who hated Islam, but they wanted to fool the Muslims. So they built a Masjid
commercial girl, they wanted to fool the Muslims with it. This message in what Allah said, Oh, by law comb fee ever done. Don't you ever go and pray in it? He said to the Prophet. sighs never go and pray in it. lemma student Oh Caesar Allah taqwa mean. Oh, well, Yeoman. Aha. Kumasi.
The Masjid that is built from taqwa on the first day, the first day it was built for Allah. That's the message you should be
that's the message you should be standing. Okay. So the message I'm talking about that Allah loves that the messages that were built for Allah and they're doing things the way of the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam right. Does that make sense? Now it's a very good question. Any other questions guys? Show wrap it up there inshallah. All right, please make sure you do come next week. Next week.
Next week is going to be the last kids class for a little while.
Because I have to go away but I'm not sure if just for the class here. I may organize a teacher just for you guys. So you guys can keep coming. I'm going to see I'll tell you next week what's going to happen inshallah. Okay, but next week's classes on inshallah, alright, okay. I see you guys next week, inshallah. All right. So panic alone will be handling the shadow and stuff that will cover to break.
