00:00:01 --> 00:00:02
			As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:05
			Alhamdulillah rabbil alameen, wa salamu alaykum wa barakatuhu,
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			wa nabiyyin wa muhammadin wa ala alihi wa
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			sahbihi wa sallam, wa taslimin kathiru thumma ma
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			ba'd.
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			This hadith that's coming up right now, hadith
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			on Mujahidah, and it's a challenge.
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			A challenge, I dare you.
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			I dare you all do it, if you
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:19
			can.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			Even if you try once in your lifetime.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			Let's see if you can do that, inshallah
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			wa ta'ala.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:28
			Hadith number 102, in Riyadh al-Saliheen on
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			the Mujahidah, the struggle for the sake of
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, qala wa an
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:35
			abi Abdillah Hudhaifa ibn al-Yaman, al-Ansari
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			radiyallahu anhu wa radaq, qala al-ma'rufi
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:41
			sahibi sirri Rasulillahi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, wa
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			anahu qal.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			So Imam al-Nabi, rahim Allah, introducing Hudhaifa,
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			in a very interesting way, qal, this hadith
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51
			is on the authority of Abu Abdillah Hudhaifa
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			ibn al-Yaman, the secret keeper of the
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			He's like the secret holder of the Prophet
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			What does he mean by that?
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			See, there was an incident that happened in
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			the Battle of Tabuk.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			When the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam went
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			to Tabuk, the hypocrites were hoping that they're
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			going to be facing the Romans, and the
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			Romans are going to wipe them out, and
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			they will be done, and we go back
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:21
			again to Medina, take over our country, our
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:21
			city, and so on.
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			That's what they were hoping.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			But they couldn't stay in Medina because the
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			Prophet made a general call for everybody who's
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			capable to ride, they should come out with
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:29
			him.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			So the hypocrites had to go out, right?
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			On the way back, they said, look, if
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			he's going to go back and arrive in
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			Medina, that's it.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			Our chance is over.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			So they plotted against the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			wa sallam, the hypocrites, they plotted against the
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam to ambush him
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			and kind of assassinate him on the way
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:47
			back.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:47
			How?
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			By provoking his camel in an area where
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			it's very dangerous and rocky.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:56
			So if the camel pushes the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			alaihi wa sallam off its back and the
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			Prophet falls on these rocks, definitely he's going
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			to be badly hurt, if not even actually
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			killed.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			That was their plan.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			So they waited.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			When it was the right time, and it
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			was at night, and as the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			alaihi wa sallam was going through that street
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			in that valley, they jumped that camel to
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			provoke it.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:20
			Eventually, their attempt failed, and the Prophet was
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			able to keep hold of the camel sallallahu
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			alaihi wa sallam, and they ran away all
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:26
			over the place, scattered among the crowd in
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			the darkness of the night.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30
			The Prophet was calling for help, obviously, so
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			by the time they arrived, Hudayfah was among
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			the first to arrive, and the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			alaihi wa sallam told him, over there, they
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:35
			went from that direction.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39
			Hudayfah went to chase after them, comes back,
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			he couldn't catch anybody.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			And the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said,
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			did you know who they are?
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			He said, no, Rasulallah, I didn't.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			I don't know.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			I didn't see anybody.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, let
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			me tell you who they are.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			Fulan, or Fulan, or Fulan, or Fulan, or
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:52
			Fulan.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:55
			He starts counting all the people who participated
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			in that assassination attempt.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			He gave him the names.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			And these were, of course, from the Prophet
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:05
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam to Hudayfah, to keep
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			it as a secret with him.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			Why?
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10
			If the Prophet is gone, at least Hudayfah
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			can recognize the people.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			But it wasn't made public.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:13
			Why so?
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			Because it wasn't the time for it, and
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:18
			it's not good to label people hypocrites in
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			the community in that way.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:20
			It creates fitna.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:24
			Especially if these people were dignitaries, or at
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			least they were well-known and they have
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:26
			following.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:27
			That becomes dangerous.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			So the Prophet kept that secret with Hudayfah,
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			and Hudayfah radiallahu anhu became Hamil al-Katim,
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			Sir Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, the secret
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			holder of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:43
			Interestingly, Umar radiallahu anhu, after the passing of
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:46
			the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, Umar, actually
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			before even that, he went to Hudayfah, he
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:52
			says, I ask you by Allah azza wa
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:56
			jal, Did the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			call me among the hypocrites?
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			Did he name me in the group?
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			Hudayfah just looked at Umar and said, No,
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			I'm not going to answer anyone after you.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			Like, khalas, you're good.
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:11
			So Umar, when he became the Khalifa, every
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:14
			time there's a janazah in the masjid, he
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:15
			looks, is Hudayfah here?
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			They say, no, he left.
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19
			It's okay, find someone to lead the salah.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			As-salamu alaykum.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			Like, he doesn't know if that person's on
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			the list or not, the blacklist or not.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			So he would leave, radiallahu anhu.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			That's why he called him Hamil al-Sirr
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:29
			al-Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, the one
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			who carries the secret for the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32
			alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			What did he say?
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:38
			He said, One night, I prayed with the
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:43
			In this narration, the salah was one single
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:43
			raka'ah.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			One single raka'ah.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			Which means the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51
			did the entire tahajjud in the raka'ah
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:51
			of al-Wutr.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:55
			Like, the Wutr raka'ah itself became his
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:56
			tahajjud, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			He said, I prayed with the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			alaihi wa sallam one night.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			He started reciting surah al-Baqarah.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			Like all of us do.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			The moment you recite it, your mind starts
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:13
			wandering around.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			When is he going to stop?
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			And then he says, I thought he would
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			do raka'ah at the hundred.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			Like, one third of the surah, and he
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:22
			would make raka'ah.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			But he came to the hundred, and he
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			continued reciting.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			He said, maybe he's going to finish the
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:34
			whole surah in one raka'ah, and then
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:35
			he makes raka'ah.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			He finished surah al-Baqarah, and he continued
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			going.
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			When I thought he was going to make
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:49
			raka'ah now, he started reciting surah al
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:49
			-Nisa.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			By the way, surah al-Baqarah, how many
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			juz' is surah al-Baqarah?
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:56
			Almost two and a half, right?
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			And surah al-Nisa is also two juz'
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			You could say almost.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			So he started surah al-Nisa.
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
			I said the same thing, he thought, maybe
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			at the hundred he's going to make raka
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:07
			'ah.
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:11
			He continued all the way until he finished
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:11
			the same thing.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16
			When he's done with surah al-Nisa, he's
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:16
			going to make raka'ah.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:18
			But then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			he started reciting surah al-Imran.
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:23
			Like, oh my, it's la ilaha illallah, right?
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:29
			And not just that, not just reciting surah
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:32
			al-Baqarah, then surah al-Nisa, then go
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:33
			back again to al-Imran.
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:35
			He did them in that order, by the
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:35
			way.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			Baqarah, al-Nisa, then al-Imran.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:46
			Not just reciting it, no, he said, Which
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			means he is taking his time.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:52
			He's doing it with tartil, tarassul, just like
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			reciting beautifully, taking his time.
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01
			When an ayah requires to say subhanallah, he
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:02
			would say subhanallah.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			When there's an ayah that has soliciting something
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:12
			from Allah, he would make dua' in his
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			tahajjud, in his salah, recitation.
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			So if the ayah speaks about Jannah, he
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:21
			would say, While he's reciting, sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:22
			sallam.
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:27
			If he comes by mention of Jahannam, he
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:31
			says, While he's reciting.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:34
			And that's something acceptable and permissible in the
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:35
			tahajjud salah.
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:38
			Whether you're the imam or praying behind an
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			imam.
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:44
			Like for example, if the imam says, He
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:45
			would say subhanallah.
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			Not out loud, but he said to himself,
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:48
			subhanallah.
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:49
			And then we'll continue.
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			So the Prophet was reciting surah al-Baqarah,
		
00:07:55 --> 00:08:00
			al-Nisa, al-Imran, Taking his time, enjoying
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:05
			the ibadah and the recitation, pondering, reflecting, Implementing
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:06
			that with the dua' and request and tasbih
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:07
			and dhikr.
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:11
			So if reciting surah al-Baqarah, al-Nisa,
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:14
			al-Imran, takes about five hours, Would that
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			extra probably be another half an hour, 45
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17
			minutes, just for the dua' and dhikr.
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:24
			Then, Then he made ruku' sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			sallam.
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:30
			He starts saying, Praise be my Lord who
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:31
			is the greatest.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:38
			The length of his ruku' was all close
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:39
			to his standing.
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:45
			The imam, he extends the ruku' five seconds.
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			Everybody starts complaining, my back, ya sheikh.
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:48
			Right?
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:50
			Like seriously.
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:55
			Like one time, I prayed in a Muslim
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:55
			country.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			So normally, I make my salah as normal.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:08:59
			So I made my ruku'.
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			It seems to be not as their imam
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:02
			usually prays.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			So one of the older people came after
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:05
			salah.
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			He says, Allahu Akbar.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			This imam, when he's making ruku' he waits
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:10
			until yawm al-qiyamah.
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			I could hear him saying that.
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:15
			He's complaining about me.
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:16
			I'm just like, la ilaha illallah.
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20
			Just by adding maybe two extra seconds.
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:21
			And for him, it's just like, this is
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:22
			until yawm al-qiyamah.
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:23
			Like, la ilaha illallah.
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:31
			So then, Then the Prophet says, He came
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:32
			up from the ruku'.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:45
			He said, His standing from the ruku' was
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			close to the length of his ruku'.
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:48
			Just standing.
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:50
			What would he say standing?
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:51
			The same thing.
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56
			Repeating it over and over again, over and
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:56
			over again.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			Reflecting and pondering on those words.
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:00
			Of praise and thanking Allah.
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:02
			Showing gratitude to Allah.
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			Then he did the sajda.
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			He was saying, Praise be to my Lord,
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:11
			the Most High.
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:17
			And his sajda was as long as his
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:17
			standing.
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21
			What does that mean?
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			What time would it be when he ended
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:24
			his salah?
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:26
			Fajr time.
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			Like the entire night, he was doing the
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:30
			salawat.
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:34
			To the Prophet, that was mandatory.
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:35
			Just to let you know.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:37
			The hajj every night was mandatory.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:45
			Allah commands him in surah al-muzzammil, Stand
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:46
			up all night.
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			Except for a little.
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:51
			Okay, half is okay.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:56
			So unqus, zid.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:59
			A little bit more, a little bit less.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:01
			So the Prophet would do that.
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			He sometimes would pray half of the night.
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
			Sometimes one third of the night.
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:08
			But that night in particular, he stood most
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:09
			of the night.
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:14
			Now that's, Hudaifah mentioned that story to us.
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:19
			Another narration, or maybe it's the same incident.
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			But somebody else was with him was Abdullah
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:22
			bin Mas'ud.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			Abdullah bin Mas'ud reported the same story.
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:33
			He says, Like I was standing with him
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:34
			all this time.
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37
			Until I intended to do something bad.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:40
			Like I was intended to do something bad.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:41
			It was us.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:42
			How bad?
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			Yeah, you're talking about.
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:45
			Because I was about to leave.
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			Like I literally said, I almost left him.
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50
			And he broke the salah and left.
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			This is how hard it was for Abdullah
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:53
			bin Mas'ud.
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:54
			But did he do that?
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55
			No, he didn't.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:56
			He finished with the Prophet.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			But how would it look like when he
		
00:11:59 --> 00:11:59
			finished?
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:02
			But this is how much al-mujahidah.
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:04
			To stand in salah.
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:05
			And recite.
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			And just kind of like pondering, reflecting.
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
			Not just going over the words and the
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:10
			ayat.
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			No, really implementing everything.
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			And put that practice in the ruku and
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:15
			the sujood.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:16
			All of this.
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:18
			In hadith Ali bin Abi Talib.
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:20
			When the Prophet ﷺ was asked about.
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:22
			What's the best part of tahajjud?
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:24
			Like what is the most virtuous part of
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:25
			tahajjud?
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			The essence of the night prayer, he says.
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:32
			Is the length of the recitation.
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:34
			It's not the length of your ruku and
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:35
			sujood.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:36
			No, how long you stand.
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:38
			That's what matters.
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:39
			Not how many raka'ah you pray.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40
			Like somebody pray a thousand raka'ah.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:41
			May Allah bless them.
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44
			But praying one raka'ah that long.
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:44
			That's better.
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:47
			Because that's what the Prophet ﷺ is saying
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:47
			over here.
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			Because now you're reading the Qur'an.
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:50
			And focus on it.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:51
			And reflecting on it.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:51
			And so on.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53
			This is extremely, extremely important.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:55
			I don't know how many of you experienced
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:56
			these long salawat.
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:59
			But Asma'a r.a. The daughter of
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:00
			Bakr as-Siddiq.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:01
			She said one day.
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:03
			She came after Asr.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			To the house of her sister Aisha.
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:07
			And she found her.
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			She found the people in the majid praying.
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:10
			After Asr.
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:12
			When there was supposed to be no salah.
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			And Aisha was praying as well too.
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:16
			She was in her room.
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			But she kind of like following the salah
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:18
			from her place.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			And it was an out loud salah.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:22
			After Asr.
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:23
			How come they recite.
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:27
			Asma'a spoke to Aisha.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:28
			While Aisha was in salah.
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:32
			She said, what kind of salah is this?
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:33
			What are you guys praying?
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:35
			So Aisha.
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:36
			While she's in salah.
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:37
			She pointed to the sky.
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:40
			So Asma'a, she said.
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:41
			Aya?
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:42
			Is there some sort of like a miracle
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:44
			or a sign happening in the sky?
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:45
			She goes yes.
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:47
			She meant what?
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:49
			Solar eclipse.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:51
			It was kusuf al-shams.
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:52
			Solar eclipse.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:55
			So Asma'a joined the salah.
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:57
			And I don't know how many of you
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:58
			tried salat al-kusuf.
		
00:13:58 --> 00:13:59
			It's supposed to be the length of the
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:00
			entire eclipse.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:02
			So two, three hours basically.
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:04
			That's how long you should do that.
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:05
			The same thing.
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:06
			The length of the recitation.
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:08
			So Asma'a, she said.
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:10
			I kept standing.
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			By the time.
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:14
			Salah was over.
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:15
			She said.
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:17
			I passed out.
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:18
			That they woke her up actually with water
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:19
			over her face.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			This is how hard it was.
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:22
			The length of the salah.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:24
			And I remember one time.
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:25
			I keep reminding the story of Asma'a.
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:26
			Why?
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			Because this happened to me.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:30
			I was very young.
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:30
			Still a teenager.
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			And they said salat al-kusuf.
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			And it was my first time praying salat
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:34
			al-kusuf.
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:36
			I'm excited.
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:37
			I'm going to do salat al-kusuf.
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:39
			I'm going to pray behind sheikh.
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:43
			So we went there.
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:44
			To the masjid.
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:46
			And I'm like.
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:47
			What salat al-kusuf?
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:50
			Seriously.
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:51
			My legs.
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:53
			By the end.
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			I couldn't stand any longer.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:58
			My legs were shaking.
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			Literally shaking.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			Shaking and shaking.
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:04
			Even the uncle next to me felt bad
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:05
			for me.
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:06
			Kind of like tempting me to sit down.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:08
			But I kept standing.
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:10
			Until the salah was over.
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:10
			I'm like.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:13
			But subhanallah.
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:16
			Just the accomplishment at that young age.
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:17
			Realizing I made it.
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:19
			To the end of the salah.
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:20
			Was something so sweet and so beautiful.
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:21
			And here.
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:23
			The mujahidah.
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:26
			In maintaining your salat al-kusuf.
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:27
			I don't know how many of you.
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:28
			Can handle this.
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:30
			But give it a try.
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33
			Give it a try at least once in
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:33
			your lifetime.
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:36
			Check one of those beautiful nights.
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			Where you're able to stay up.
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:39
			Maybe in Ramadan.
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:41
			When everybody is having fun.
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:43
			Playing in the masjid or coming here.
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:44
			Go by yourself.
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:45
			Go to your private quarter.
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:47
			You're awake.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:48
			Anyway.
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:49
			Recite.
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:52
			And if you cannot recite from your memory.
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:53
			Hold the mushaf.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:53
			That's okay.
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:59
			And make a long long tahajjud.
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:00
			May Allah accept from all of you.
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:03
			Any questions?
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:05
			Yes.
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:15
			What do you mean?
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:19
			It's one single rakah?
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			Yeah.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:22
			The whole tahajjud was one single rakah.
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:27
			Is there a minimum?
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:27
			Is there a minimum?
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:30
			That's up to you man.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:33
			What's your minimum?
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:36
			30 ayah?
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:39
			Well yeah.
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:40
			The prophet.
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:43
			The bare minimum.
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:45
			To be considered doing tahajjud.
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:46
			They said.
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:47
			Like.
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:52
			Something like surah.
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:53
			Surah.
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:55
			If you recite that.
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:56
			That's good.
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:57
			That's relatively okay.
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:00
			So make recitation as long as.
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:03
			Surah.
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:05
			And then you make.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:08
			And then sujood and so on.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:09
			If you do that.
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:10
			I guarantee you.
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:12
			You'll finish almost within an hour.
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:14
			If you do.
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:14
			You'll finish in an hour.
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:16
			And if you do that.
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			Maybe you recite 4 surahs like that.
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:21
			You will have 8 rakah.
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:23
			Almost half of the night.
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:24
			If not even more.
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:35
			Can you hold the mushaf.
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:36
			While the imam is reciting.
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:37
			Please don't do that.
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:39
			If you're going to do this.
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41
			Pray all the way in the back.
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:42
			In the corner.
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:43
			So you don't distract anybody.
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:46
			Because when you're holding your mushaf.
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:48
			And 2 people standing next to you.
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:50
			You're distracting everybody else.
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:51
			And that's not fair.
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:54
			So therefore I do not recommend for people
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:54
			to hold the mushaf.
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:56
			Listen to the imam.
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:57
			But I don't understand Arabic.
		
00:17:58 --> 00:17:58
			It's okay.
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:00
			Sometimes the imam doesn't understand Arabic.
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:03
			So it's okay.
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:04
			You need just to recite.
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:06
			And just focus on the qiraa.
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			Hopefully you can feel it.
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:10
			If you want to understand it.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12
			Probably before the salah begins.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:13
			Go over the translation.
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:15
			So you get an idea of what the
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:16
			ayat are all about.
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:18
			And hopefully you will have that connection.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:24
			Yeah that's fine.
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27
			Whether it's a phone or an actual mushaf.
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:28
			It's a distraction.
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:30
			Don't do it.
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:33
			Even with the phone you keep flipping.
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:35
			You're moving your finger.
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:36
			Right.
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:40
			By yourself.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:41
			If you're praying by yourself.
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:42
			Hold the mushaf.
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:45
			But not behind an imam.
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:46
			By yourself that's fine.
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:49
			Maybe some of you have seen that video.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:50
			Where the imam was reciting from his phone.
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:51
			And then he skipped the page.
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:53
			And he kept the whole people waiting for
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:54
			him.
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:57
			Yes.
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:05
			What?
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:12
			Oh are you talking about the tankees?
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:15
			So some people they say this hadith.
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:17
			Is an evidence or a proof.
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:18
			That when it comes to reciting.
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:20
			The Quran in salah.
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:22
			You don't have to follow the order of
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:23
			the surahs.
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:23
			Right.
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:25
			Because probably he recited surah al-baqarah.
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:27
			And then he recited surah an-nisa.
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:29
			And then he came back again to al
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:29
			-imran.
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:31
			So that's why they call it tankees.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:35
			But the hadith says it's okay.
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:36
			They don't have to be in the same
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:37
			order.
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:38
			But if you're going to be reciting.
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:39
			From the same surah.
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:41
			In two rak'ahs.
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:42
			It has to be in the right order.
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:45
			Like you cannot start reciting from the end
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:46
			of surah al-baqarah.
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:47
			On your first rak'ah.
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:48
			And your second rak'ah.
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:49
			You start from the beginning of surah al
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:49
			-baqarah.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51
			Unless of course you finish the surah.
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:52
			And you start over.
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:53
			That's different.
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:55
			But again.
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:58
			Maybe a rebuttal to this opinion.
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:01
			Is saying that the order of the mushaf
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:02
			itself.
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:03
			Is disputable.
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:05
			In terms of who put it in the
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:06
			order we see it today.
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:08
			Was that from the prophet himself?
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:11
			Or was that from the committee.
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:13
			That Rebecca Siddiq assigned.
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:15
			To put the mushaf in that order.
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:17
			And the order of the ayat.
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:18
			In each surah.
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:19
			For sure it's from the prophet.
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:21
			That's proven.
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:23
			Because the prophet used to tell the sahaba.
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:27
			Put this ayah in such and such surah.
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:28
			Between so and so.
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:29
			And so and so ayahs.
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:31
			So the prophet he's the one who put
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:32
			the surahs.
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:34
			The ayat in the right order of the
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:34
			surah.
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:37
			But the order of the surahs.
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:38
			In the mushaf.
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:39
			That's where it's disputable.
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:41
			So if you say.
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:43
			It's the prophet.
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:44
			Who he puts that order.
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:45
			Then yeah.
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:47
			Then that's an evidence.
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:49
			That it's okay to recite the surahs.
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:51
			In the same order.
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:52
			But if you say it's not.
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:54
			Then there's no evidence for it.
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:17
			Basically you skip you say.
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:19
			Like from the first rakah.
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:21
			I started from the beginning of surah al
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:21
			-baqarah.
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:23
			And then I skipped.
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:25
			Then in my second rakah.
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			I started the last part of it.
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:28
			That's fine.
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:29
			That's okay.
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:30
			You should be alright.
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:38
			In the same rakah you cannot skip surahs.
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:39
			From the surah.
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:42
			You cannot skip from the same surah.
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:44
			You cannot in the same rakah.
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:46
			Recite the beginning of surah al-baqarah.
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:48
			And then you skip to for example.
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:49
			Three four pages.
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:51
			You go to another part of surah al
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:51
			-baqarah.
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:52
			And then you skip three four pages.
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55
			You cannot do this in the same rakah.
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:56
			Although some ulama they say it's okay.
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:58
			But the majority they say no no.
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:00
			You need to keep the surah connected.
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:01
			All the way together.
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:04
			So what happens if I get stuck?
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:06
			I'm reading from surah al-baqarah.
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:07
			No one behind me by myself.
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:08
			I'm stuck right now.
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:09
			So what do I do?
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:11
			Do I skip a page and move to
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:12
			the next?
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:14
			In that situation yes you can.
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:16
			Because you're stuck.
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:17
			No one is helping you.
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:18
			You can skip an ayah or two.
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:20
			And continue with your recitation.
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:21
			Yes.
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:27
			Do you need to recite the dua al
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:29
			-qunoot in surah al-witr?
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:31
			In the Hanafi school it's a wajib.
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34
			It's part of the witr itself.
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36
			But the majority of the fuqaha they don't
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:37
			consider this to be part of the witr
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:37
			at all.
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:38
			Except in Ramadan.
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:40
			With different opinions obviously.
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:42
			Is it entire Ramadan?
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:43
			Half Ramadan?
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:44
			The last ten nights?
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:48
			So I would say it's actually it's okay.
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:49
			It's mustahab inshallah.
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:51
			Yes.
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:03
			You open a debate right now man.
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:06
			Like if somebody is holding a mushaf or
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:09
			a phone behind an imam and the imam
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:09
			makes a mistake.
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:12
			Can someone who recites from mushaf correct the
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:13
			imam?
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:17
			If the imam assigned that individual behind him
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:18
			then yeah it's okay.
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:20
			I've seen this in Medina.
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:22
			And I prayed in a masjid where the
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:25
			imam assigned one individual to hold a mushaf
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:28
			behind him to ensure that he will correct
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:30
			him if he makes a mistake.
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:36
			The bigger debate is if the imam is
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:38
			corrected by somebody who is not in the
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:40
			jama'ah sitting in the back holding a
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:41
			mushaf.
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:44
			And then here's the imam makes a mistake.
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:45
			He goes laqad.
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:48
			Are you allowed to do that?
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:49
			Are you allowed to follow this?
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:51
			I would say actually some fuqaha they say
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:52
			that breaks the salah.
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:55
			But I don't think there is any evidence
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:57
			to prove that.
		
00:23:57 --> 00:24:00
			So yeah if somebody corrects your recitation whether
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:01
			the person is part of the salah or
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:03
			not that should be fine.
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:03
			Insha'Allah.
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:07
			So I would say better for the imam
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:09
			if no one, there's no hafad, no enough
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:11
			hafad in the jama'ah to have somebody
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:13
			behind him to follow him with the mushaf
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:15
			so you can correct the recitation insha'Allah.
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:31
			So can you hold a translation or a
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:34
			mushaf with translation so you can at least
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:35
			understand what the imam is reciting?
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:36
			The answer is no.
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:38
			You shouldn't be doing that.
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:41
			I know some contemporary scholars right now they're
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:42
			suggesting this.
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:43
			As a matter of fact even bigger than
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:45
			that they say to put it on the
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47
			big screens for the imam to follow.
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:50
			The sunnah is to look down there.
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:52
			So should put screens down there for everybody
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:53
			insha'Allah.
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:54
			I would say no.
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56
			We shouldn't be doing that.
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58
			And like I said try to understand before
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:00
			you start your salah insha'Allah so you
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			can focus on your ibadah and your ta
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:02
			'a.
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:03
			As a matter of fact it's not even
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:04
			English.
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:06
			Even those who read Arabic they don't understand
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			the Quran properly without tafseer sometimes.
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:11
			So even these people need to read tafseer
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:13
			before they start their salah so they can
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:14
			focus insha'Allah on their ibadah.
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:27
			So if somebody would like to try this
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:30
			hadith over here to pray one tahajjud night
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:31
			with one rakah for example.
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:35
			Should you start right away with trying that
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			rakah or should you start building towards that
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:38
			like build your momentum.
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:42
			Every weekend you do for example half a
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:44
			juz and then three quarters and then one
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:46
			juz and then two and then three until
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:47
			you reach that level where you're comfortable to
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:49
			do masha'Allah six juz, seven juz and
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:49
			one rakah.
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:51
			It's up to you.
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:53
			It depends.
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:54
