wa salatu salam ala I should. I should say that mousseline and Alina, Mohammed and other early Sufi woman saw the island
in diva praises due to Allah subhanho wa Taala
May the peace and blessings be upon His final messenger Mohamed Salah loblolly. earlier sentence,
Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
Before I begin, there's just a few things I wanted to mention.
And firstly, and lastly, All praise is due to Allah subhanaw taala that he has gathered us here
to talk about what is of course the most important topic and it's a Salah the prayer
and its importance.
It is the first time that Allah Subhana Allah has enabled me to come to this Masjid is not really that far away from me.
So I'd like to thank
Apple Summit and the committee for agreeing with me to come there's a green light for me to come, which is a good sign in Charlotte's Island.
And also, I would like to do recognition as well to recognition is do
that I think maybe this is the closest I've sat with on something like a platform like this for more than eight years, maybe close to 10 years,
is 10 years ago, I sat in a similar position to Chef toffee, like this disposition because we were in the same class. And I think I look back to what it was then and what it is now on the achievement. Of course, the greatest blessings of Moss Mountain firstly, but the way the easement that allows whatever is enabled, she has nothing to do really in establishing mercy mission. And all the sub projects have gone under that like there's a national as a car Foundation, and I call for force, which is one themselves and they would share public and mail us at all reward all that is structures and all those who have participated in such a noble effort.
Before I started to, before we get into the topic about the habits
of Rasulullah sallallahu Ali, who said that concerning the Salah, specifically, I think there was a few things I wanted to mention. So as we can show to other benefit from his beautiful and best guidance concerning
and first I want you to note the importance of following the habits of loss or loss of a large audience.
And knowing the importance of following is is true, at least,
especially in a time where now that all of us we are claiming to love Rasulullah sallallahu we will demonstrate our love to the profit ratios in a number of different ways.
But the most important criterion in showing our love and demonstrating our love for the loss of a loved one is adhering to his authentic self.
And Allah Jalla wa Tada he tells us for in country to have Boon Allah that say if indeed you love Allah, today Rudy Biba como la, then follow me and he will attain the love of Allah subhanaw taala
So following the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is a means for us to gain the love of Allah Giovanna.
This is the ultimate goal for us to gain the love of Allah subhanaw taala and in turn, attain the ultimate reward by being entered into the paradox.
So may Allah subhanaw taala give us the success and the guidance to follow your authentic so no rasool Allah, Allah Allah Allah He lives in
a man he was praying in the masjid.
And he prayed after and maybe a wonderful example. He prayed after the sunrise. And he was offering a number of frustrations and record and remember last month of the budget,
so I didn't say yet about him or not.
He rebuked him for doing this rebuked him or praying at this time.
And then the man said, Are you rebuking me Are you telling me off because I'm praying is that I'm not rebuking you for the fact that you
praying
that I'm rebuking you, the fact that you are going against the Sunnah of Muhammad Sallallahu it was.
So even though that the action of the person is claiming to be correct may be correct,
but the timing of it and how you're going to do that is of the utmost importance.
So how you demonstrate your following the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam is of the utmost importance.
Now the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam from
the beginning of his prophet hood to the end, you will find that the Salah the prayer has an extremely important significance
that he said that when Allah subhanaw taala revealed Yeah, you have
all the one who is covered in garments that he said to his wife, Khadija Radi Allahu Allah, that has it got time for rest, the time for sleeping and relaxing is
home for
Elijah rather than commanded the Prophet salallahu Alaihe salam to stand up and to warn his people
from this time until the very last moments of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam slash will find that the prayer and everything that was around the prayer
was given priority.
And that the focus was on the prayer.
Now, I'm not going to go into the wider aspects of the importance of friends that will come later in shout out.
But I wanted to mention the guidance of the sooner loss of Allah YT Selim within the prayer itself.
Then if you go through the prayer, from the very beginning, it is not just a set of bodily movements, because there are many of us, you will find that they do the same Maluku, they do the same sujood. Everything is exactly the same from the beginning to the end.
But you might find that one has the reward
that reaches up to the heavens,
and another person has no reward.
And another person that solid doesn't reach above the neck, even though they're doing the same actions.
So the point here is not of course, of course it is important. So Luca, move or suddenly pray as you have seen, the as we have seen, we pray, as the prophets of Allah has taught us. But it's not just merely actions,
is not just merely that external
position that we are going to focus on which many of us that we do, we just focused on the external part of the prayer,
which is important, but not at the sacrifice, about the internal actions.
And as many of them are in one or two, Allah said that the actions of the internal actions have greater reward, and grease, the significance of those outer actions. Because the foundation of any outer action, it starts with that interaction with your intention, insight.
So when we are focusing on straightening the lines, which is important,
and maybe when we want to focus on making sure that our bodily parts on the right our shoulders and our feet are touching and chasing people, but yet somehow we have forgotten the essence of our Salah
and you're concentrating and humbling yourself and fearing Allah subhanaw taala within those movements.
And as an even abota about the Allahu Anhu stated
that when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when he would perform your Salah
that every morsel of flesh, every tendon, every hair on his body, or a seller to seller was impure servitude to Allah subhanaw taala
these are the kinds of habits and these are the kinds of things that I want to make sure that are part of my prayer.
That this was not merely actions were those actions are in fact
me showing and manifesting might embed them i servitude
and my yielding to Allah subhanaw taala. These are the kinds of habits that I want to ensure are part of my
not just as I mentioned, those things which you see with the eye.
But I want to make sure that it begins with insight
that when I pray that my body parts are truly worshipping Allah subhanaw taala.
Now the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he taught us how to pray.
So whenever you make us be,
whenever you say Chapin, Allah Subhana Allah, Allah Subhan Allah without him
It is assumed allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Who taught you to say that whether you are on record or whether you are single
and that when you are standing in Salah that you read that Fatiha and that you may recite another Surah and that is because of the Sunnah allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught us that
and it is adhering to these things
which is what what that will give you success and a COBOL from Allah subhanaw taala because
when you look at the salah itself and you look at your own soul
what habits do you have in your Salah?
Now that habit when you think of a habit
is that we occurs quite frequently the same thing that you keep doing
but within the salah it is good to have good habits
and even know that the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam showed us particular upcard particular things to do and save throughout masala
that there is some scope within masala itself you for you to do more than one thing for example, or not to stick to the same thing.
So, after you raise your hands you say Allahu Akbar.
What is the first type of drama that you say?
Is it that you say the same drama every single time?
Or is it that you find that you may change it from time to time?
By saying the same thing you may become a little heedless of the meaning of what you're saying, if indeed you know exactly what you're saying in the first place.
But the habit of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is that he would change the dura and Stifter.
The opening supplication from time to time, at times involves praising Allah subhanaw taala completely.
At other times, it involves you asking Allah subhanaw taala for forgiveness. And on other occasions, it may involve both praising Allah subhanaw taala and asking for forgiveness. This was his habit salAllahu alayhi wasallam in the Torah.
This is a habit we should try to bring within our own Salah and not just to restrict yourself to wander out. And then you speed through it so quickly. You think yourself did I actually say. So try to say another drought where you will concentrate on what you're saying.
And after the recitation of Al Fatiha, for example,
then you will not restrict yourself just for the small sower
even though it may be if you're not in the masjid and you're in the morning federal for example, that you restrict yourself for no
good reason to the small soil. Rather, what was the habit of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam regarding selective pressure that he alleged resembled elongated slightly.
That is the habit on sort of muscle loss and concerning the budget.
And likewise, the other priests like Robert grip on the awesome pray and the mockery. What was the habit of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam concerning this.
Now in the short time that I have with you,
I don't have the we don't have the time for me to give you for answers for every single Salah this is what you should be doing. But at the very least I'm stimulating some food for thought of thought process within yourself that yes, what was the habit or the practice? All of a sudden of Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam concerning these prints.
When you go into for example, a record or you go into sujood what are the different altcar the different supplications that you can possibly say at those times, or when you restrict yourself to Subhan Allah will be loudly
when we're alcohol killing,
not for us to be literal that statement. For you to make such a statement in rapport, there's nothing better for you to say, I'm gonna record for all the movies
such as for your bowing to Allah subhanaw taala So glorify or exalt Your Lord, that is the best statement that you can make. But along with that, there are other supplications that you can make. And likewise in sujood, saying, Subhan Allah,
Glory be to Allah the Most High. The best supplication you can say is that
but along with that, there are other things that you can say.
And it was the habit of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to say other things. Which reminds me about a narration
that a young Sahabi or the Allahu Allah
that He came to the focus of Allahu Allah He was seldom add more or the gerbil or the Allah
but this young Sahaba
was paying attention to what the Prophet sallallaahu Selim was saying in sujood.
And at times that the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam could be heard saying many, many different things. Why an institute?
This young Sahaba, who showed a lot of endeavor, and desire to learn what was said in the frustration, that he said that and through the loss of a loved one I have said and more
that I do not have the eloquence of that what you You're a fool allah sallallahu I'm so unwell that they you say in your salute, I don't have the eloquence
My language is not as as wide as yours.
So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam said to him,
what is it that you say he should do? What do you say when you're frustrated?
He said, quite simply, I say Allahu Allah in the SLO congenita.
Where I will be coming I'm not, Oh Allah, I asked you for the paradise and I seek refuge from the fire.
The prophets of Allah who is himself how love woman within everything that we are saying is around these two things.
So at the very least, if you haven't memorized lots of lots and lots and lots of ADKAR, that along with your statements to heroin or opiate Allah, that you would make that statement Allahumma in the local Jana, well, I will be coming or not.
And it was the habit of the Prophet salallahu Allah he will send them
to teach the companions and to address the companions in the way that they understood.
And to make them feel part,
part of the drama, part of the society. Part of wonder, they felt as though that they could participate in achieving some reward more but they had to reach a certain level and then they could start accumulating deeds.
But regardless of what level that you are at, that there is an opportunity for you to attain reward, and mercy and blessings from Allah subhanaw taala.
So, when we look at this,
we will find that the Prophet sallallahu wasallam again, gave another advice concerning the habit of Asana,
not just restricting yourself to one thing within Masada.
A man he came into the master and he prayed and is a well known Hadith.
And is it is known as the Hadith of the man who prayed badly. Does anybody know his name? By the way?
That companion
does anybody know that hadith? The man who came into the masjid and he prayed and the Prophet sallallahu Sallam told him to go back three times and to repeat the prayer. And he said at the end, love sin or evil Dalek I cannot do any better than that. You know the Hadith? You know the Hadith mashallah, do you know the Hadith? Does anybody know the name of that companion?
At the end in sha Allah to Allah? If somebody hasn't given the answer, I'll give you the answer shot at the end. So it gives you an opportunity to
look at it.
This companion or the Allah
in the manner that he preached, it was a level that the Prophet sallallahu deemed it that he needed to repeat his prayer.
At the end, he said, I can't do any more than that, when you do anything different from that. So then the Prophet sallallahu, Adamson taught him.
And he taught him how to pray. Did he miss out his record? No.
Did he miss out his sujood? Nope. Did he miss out beginning Allahu Akbar? No. Did he miss out? taslim at the end? No.
So he didn't miss out? What do you would physically see how a person prays.
But that important ingredient was ultimately
tranquility within the brain.
The ability to be calm within the solid between each movement,
that when you're standing and you're going to record
and then you stand up, and then you go back into construction. Each of those is an independent movement that needs to be completed and has its
and has its right.
The worst thief is who
want to steal from the seller.
So here the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam taught this companion, that to make it a habit within your Salah within your prayer, to make sure that every movement of your Salah is given his heart is given each right.
That when you stand that you stand hepped up Optima in and when you go into Roku, that you're going to record that document in a document until you are come on
Till you are tranquil and when you stand up, you stand in that position of mine
one of the secrets of masala that many of us, it bypasses
another example,
but that Aisha Radi Allahu Allah and
she stated that whenever a matter on issue, would bother the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would make him think deeply fuzzier Isla Salah
whenever something came to the Prophet sallallahu, and you send them serious matter, the first thing that he would go to a solid
to turn to Allah subhanaw taala. This was his habit.
Now, for many of us, if I have a problem,
or during the problem, family problem,
do I go for Salah? Or will I go do something else?
Maybe I think I'm going to fix the problem.
The one who's going to fix the problem, he's the one who gave me the problem in the first place. What you decreed that matter for you, at the very beginning.
Allah will genuine.
So an issue came to the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam that he will immediately sought to solve
as it is also mentioned by the Almohads, meaning the Mothers of the Believers of the Allahu taala.
Now when the Prophet sallallahu sallam said he would go into the house, can
that he was at the service of his family.
Not like 100 on job bar leader,
ordering people around. This was not the practice of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam within the home.
But he reached out to salon, from the time that he would leave his house, being at the service of the people
and the surface of Allah subhanaw taala he would come home and then he would be at the service of his family.
So Allahu Allah Himself.
And even that earlier, the Allah hotel, he said he stated that even within that time, he would split into different times when he was at his home. And he would still designate a time where people could visit him, at least after so many he would be at the service of the people.
But I forgot the alarm status for either and then when a van was made, it was though he did not know anybody.
That was the one that a van was called. It was time to turn to Allah subhanaw taala and
everything was then put on hold.
Everything was then to wait. Because now is the time to turn to a lawsuit panel to add
those five daily press.
example that comes to my mind is that actor a bad that act of worship. For everyone who is sitting here in front of me. What happens after Ava will never stop
that actor Ava will always remain with you.
If you don't have the money, you don't pay the cat.
If you don't have the money in the means you don't perform Hajj. If you're ill or you're sick or you travel that you don't fast,
whether you're rich or poor, your resident or traveler, the prey will remain with you.
So when the van was made,
that the prophets of Allah Allah He was alone sallam,
he turned to pray immediately
even you find a more compassionate side, a softer side
in how the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa send them in his offering Salah in knowing his surroundings
that he would carry his granddaughter who may be the daughter of Xena or the Allahu Allah in the Salah, a small child that he said Allah when you send them would pick up his daughter, his granddaughter and place her on the shoulder. And then we went into courts to place her in front of him. And then he Ellison pick her up again.
Another another example, either hasn't seen a lot the Allahu Anhu climbing over the back
of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam what Institute until on one occasion that one of the companions thought because the schedule was quite long
that something had happened.
Then the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam informed that companion that he wanted to give a half an hour for saying that they're right in wanting to play and then to move off.
So the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam had an awareness with
In the sauna
and even the person who is leading the prayer,
the Imam,
the leader of the community, when he's leading the prayer for you,
then let him pray lightly under people.
Let the people enjoy praying behind the Imam
while they projected
from one of the most
knowledgeable of the Sahaba the Allahu Allah, very beloved to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to lead the people in Jerusalem in Kuba area, not too far away from the master of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to lead them in Salah Tonatiuh.
And on one occasion, he prayed Salatin Asia quite long. In one narration, he said almost the length was certain button.
Until one of the people who was for law who was a farmer, it was so long he left the prayer. He prayed on his own. And he said, I'm going to raise this issue to the Prophet sallallahu Allah Himself. While said you are a hypocrite, you left the prayer.
So the man he went to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and told
him what had happened.
He said to me, I didn't get it. The Prophet SAW I said to do more tomorrow, but tell them MTM. Wow.
Are you one who is creaking Picton a young earth
because within your jungle out there is a marine that maybe is a sick person. Okay, the a person somebody is old,
always young, or even a woman with her child.
So if only one of you is going to lead the prayer, for you,
then lightened up
not to the extent that goes against the Sunnah. And us not knowing maybe what you should recite in Southeast Asia, for example.
So there is that balance between knowing the Sunnah in both areas, because you don't want to go from one extreme to another.
And it was the habit of the Prophet sallallahu ala who sent them in when giving an advice that not only that, he said Allahu is and we'll give you an advice that was needed for you right at that particular time.
But he would give you an advice, something extra, something directly linked to that issue.
Like when the Sahaba or the Allah and some of them came, that needs to be fishermen.
And they used to sometimes carry a small amount of water.
That if they said, If we drank this water, that we would all make well look with this water.
We will become thirsty because we cannot make water with the seawater are we permitted to make we're born with the sea water?
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, you can the water is the whole is pure.
The answer has been given. Then the Prophet sallallahu ala who said to them, and also instead is pure for you as well.
The dead fish, the things that you find in the sea, it doesn't cause you any harm, that is also permitted permissible for you.
So it is the habit of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, in when giving advice, giving advice for that matter that was needed at times giving something extra that was needed.
But the importance of Salah the prayer was given great significance.
And that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
used to
make sure that the prayer was an intrinsic part not only his blessing lives on Allahu Allah himself,
but the companions of the Allahu Anhu that this idea of this understanding was passed on to them to and passed on to their families.
When you look at the supplications of the prophets, Allah Himself who said from the Ibrahim alayhi salam,
he supplicated
to Allah subhanaw taala in making sure that his family
was steadfast upon the prayer,
and that he sort of Allahu Adim seven was found on on occasion, because he was his habit and he said to set up to establish the night prayer
establishing the night prayer was part of his sunnah.
To the extent that I showed up the Allahu Taala and I said to him, some Allahu Allah he wanted he will say that you are whom Allah Allah, Allah Allah has forgiven Mirta put them in them. dicover Mata
you
Previous and your sins to come, they've all been forgiven.
But yet you still placed yourself in this position? And the answer was what should I not be thankful service
should I not be thankful?
So it is these habits that I want to instill in my life to ensure that I am a grateful servant.
And that it will enable me to have a relationship with the loss of penalty.
And for all the people that are on this earth,
regardless of their religion, whatever way that they follow,
that there is no body
that can really have a relationship with Allah subhanaw taala like the Muslim does.
No one can equal it. Not even close.
Because from the moment that you wake up, that there was this car for you.
And all the things that follow, going into the bathroom, coming out of the bathroom, putting on your clothes, making model going, leaving your house, going into the masjid, come out of the masjid, go back and go back into your home how many have kind of just mentioned let's meet in the space of half an hour 45 minutes.
No one has a relationship with Allah subhanaw taala like the true believer
and that there was no one who feared Allah subhanaw taala more than the Rasul Allah.
There is no person closer to Allah subhanaw taala than rasool Allah Allah Allah Allah himself.
No one will ever pray like him, no one will fast like him, no one will make the Hajj like him.
No one will be like Him in His salah.
But his output,
he is our role model.
And he is the way
to reach Allah subhanaw taala
that there was no other way to Allah subhanaw taala except through the way and the habits and authentic sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu early
on any ignorance that we may have
any Jad that any one of us may possess, and all of us that were ignorant in many things, this can only be extinguished. This can only be removed by knowledge.
And what we mean here by knowledge, is knowing the book of Allah subhanaw taala unknowingly authentic sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu
that there is no success in this life, except by holding on to those two things.
There is no way to Jannah there's no way to Paradise except that you adhere to those two
those two revelations, the book of Allah subhanaw taala and the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu.
Now many books, many writings have been compiled concerning the prayer across rural muscle Allahu Allah, he was
from the earliest books of Hadith
multitude of Imam Malik
and the other six books of Hadith in Bukhari Muslim and the four cylinder of all know the 10 we merge and say, All have Kitab of Salah, the book of prayer, how the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would pray.
From the time that he saw Allah Who it said would raise his hands saying Allahu Akbar, to the time that he some Allahu alayhi wa sallam would say, As Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah.
None of this knowledge is hidden from us.
Nothing is hidden in caves, or vaults. It is all there for you.
In a language that you can understand,
whether it is in the language of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam spoke the pure and beautiful Arabic language
or in translating the meanings into other languages, like English or French or audible
there is no excuse for any one of us to be ignorant concerning the habits of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam concerning what is your conversation and your link with Allah subhanaw taala five times a day
at the very least
that when you say
and you ask Allah subhanaw taala it had been LC or autonomous P O Allah, guide us to the straight path.
Is that because you are one
Is that because you're misguided and you're describing others that you're asking or not some kind of data for guidance?
Or is it actually that you're asking a lot so you're recognizing that Allah has guided you to Al Islam.
But you're asking a lot of panel data to keep you firm upon the straight path
and to give you knowledge, and success to remain on that straight path.
This is what the intended meaning is, from its intended needs of Allah keep me steadfast upon this Deen
give me knowledge, knowledge of the Quran, and knowledge of the authentic son of Rasulullah sallallahu Ani.
These are just a few words that I just wanted to mention concerning the importance of us adhering to the way of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, within our salah.
And anything that I have said correctly as from the two feet are not genuine.
And I hope that if it's first and foremost is reminder for myself, to educate myself concerning the intricacies of my prayer. As you should be also focusing on the intricacies of your prayer that you do not move your foot, your hand, your head or anything in your Salah, except that you have been directed to do so.
How beautiful it would be that you are in fact praying
exactly the same way that the Prophet salallahu Alaihe salam to Abu Bakr Siddiq about your long run
well, the same Salah as honorable kebab, or any of the Sahaba Rhodiola Han that you are 1400 30 or 40 years later you're praying exactly the same song.
What an honor it is. If Allah subhanaw taala honors you with a Salah that is conforming to the way of the Prophet sallallahu wives.
May Allah subhanaw taala guide us to pray the way that the Prophet sallallahu
should, I mean also cannot remove all forms of arrogance and
jealousy or whatever diseases of the heart that one may have in stopping us to follow your authentic sunnah. Rasulullah sallallahu
mallus economy Allah bless you all and I ask Allah subhanaw taala to grant us a gathering in the places of Jannah that we may one day travel to other talk about such a gathering that we have no robotic a lot of people must have Allah will send them about the Garden of Eden Muhammad in while early he was
still Omani. Come on
