Tom Facchine – The Greatest Acts Of Worship For Muslim Teens

What is the greatest act of worship that

you can do as an ordinary teen?

The prophet

said that there's nothing more beloved to him

than the farad. Right? The things that are

obligatory in the religion. So, you know, the

discussion has to be, are you praying 5

times a day? You know, are you respecting

your parents? Are you you know, these sorts

of things, the basics. You don't skip to

the extras before you take care of the

basics.

But if you've got the basics down, then

when it comes

to going above and beyond, doing more than

what's basically required,

then studying Islam, you know,

You know, figuring out studying the religion and

knowledge of the religion is the best thing

that you could do,

other than the the basic, you know, like,

from the Noahf.

Right? Even to the point where Imam Malik,

after the adan went off, would continue studying.

And so some people would actually, you know,

be like, hey. What are you doing? You

know? It's like you should be praying. You

know? The time between the iqamah excuse me.

The adhan and the iqamah is, you know,

a blessed time to pray, du'a, these sorts

of things. He said, yes. But,

you know, studying knowledge, reviewing knowledge of Islam

was more beloved to him.

And so,

it's there. It's there. You know, the the

prophet, he said that the entire

dunya is,

right, is cursed.

And everything in it is cursed, he said,

except

for remembering Allah

and what's tied to or what follows from

remembering Allah

and the 'alam and the Mutalim. Right? The

the 1 who teaches

and the 1 who learns.

Right? So,

studying Islam is the best thing you could

possibly do. I don't know the person's situation,

but memorizing the Quran, understanding the Quran, that

has to be

front and center. And if you don't understand

Arabic, then you need to understand Arabic in

order to understand the Quran,

and that'll keep you busy.
