Embraces the

Embraces the Oneness of

Allah the greatest of the obligations is

the prayer we need to focus on the

obligation ofat especially now during

these 10

days and W my brothers and sisters in

Islam not everyone who performs the

actions of the prayer is considered

someone who prays

and there was a man in the Life

ofam who prayed

when told

him this is a companion that prayed in

the m

ofam and after his prayer s Al wasallam

told him get up and pray again because

you did not pray so not everyone who

performs the actions of the prayer doing

this and R and and coming up and down

not everyone who does the actions of the

prayer is considered someone who prayed

so we need to focus and we need to pay

attention how are we supposed to enhance

our Salat and perfect our Salat so that

Allah accepts it and so that we can see

its reward in this life and on and on

the day of judgment my brothers and

sisters in

Islam when

wasam described his relationship

with in a beautiful Hadith he

said he says two things in this worldly

life I love and that is perfume and

woman this is

whatam loves of worldly matters perfume

because it smells nice it has a

beautiful smell to it and it pleases

those that are around you and it opens

their heart to you as opposed to someone

having a bad smell for S wasallam loved

perfume and from this worldly life he

loved woman he loved

woman said because woman when s alai

wasallam married these women and he had

so many wives they are the ones who

would narrate to us his private life

how wasam slept how he woke up how he

prayed at night how he performed how he

performed his shower and all these

matters that happen inside the house

who's going to narrate that to us

woman wasam loved woman and he loved

marriage because what is meant by woman

here is marriage he loved marriage

marage because these women later on

would relate to the entire um the

Private Affairs

of and how he lived as a husband in the

house and there are so manyi narrated by

the wives

ofam in where we learn so much about our

Dean for these are two matters he loved

notice he used the

word I love from this world perfume

and woman meaning marriage then the

Hadith went up a level when wasallam

said and the Delight of my eyes the

coolness of my eyes the happiness of my

eyes was in the prayer now you

see is one level to love something

but if you want to

express that you love

something more than just the concept of

love the other word for this

is in other

words or is one

level is a level higher than

love they said that when your heart and

your eyes are filled with the love of

something so much so that you do not

look for anything to replace that thing

that is what is so when

theam says that the prayer was

his which is a level higher than the

natural Love This is the End degree of

loving something when he says that he

means that I will not replace aat for

anything else you know children have

been described in the Quran

as they

was described for his

mother was described for his

mother children

says why because you will not replace

your children with anything else these

are your children these are your your

happiness and the delight and the

coolness of your eyes when you see your

children so s

was his in other words you give him the

world he will not replace it with

nothing can replace this is the level

that we want to reach how can we reach a

level that no matter what was offered to

us we will never accept that in

replacement forat today so many people

have replaced with materialistic matter

right if he has

people

Miss because of a worldly job because of

some money because of some job that

might pay him a th000 or $2,000 he

missed because of some materialistic

manner such a person hasn't been in his

life to be in your life the delight and

the coolness and the happiness of your

heart and your eye meaning you will not

replace it for anything

no matter even if the entire world was

given to you you will never replace it

this is is it possible we can reach such

a level yes of course of course we can

reach such a level so listen and I'm

going to share these points with you and

as I mentioned in the description the

lesson is going to take

long be patient with me if you cannot

then I'll put the recording up and you

can hear it later on my brothers and

sisters in Islam

is the right of Allah subhanahu wa taala

and it is one of the greatest rights

that belongs to

Allah in a Hadith a woman came to the

messenger s. wasam and she said to him

that her mother had died and she still

had one month owing of fasting and her

mother she still had one month Ramadan

she did not fast so she came to alai

wasallam and said my mother died and she

still has one month of Ramadan she did

not

fast can I fast this month on her

behalf

soam he said to her and listen to this

he

said if your mother was in debt and she

owed someone money would you have went

and paid it on her

behalf so this woman said yes I would

have paid it on her

behalf

said he said that the debt that is owed

to Allah deserves more attention

deserves more attention than if your

mother was to owe someone something from

this worldly life the debt of Allah is

more important than the debt of people

so as though s alai wasallam is telling

of course go and fast this month of

Ramadan on behalf of your mother that

she did not fast because this is the

debt of Allah if you are going to pay

back the people money money that your

mother owed then most definitely go and

pay the debt that is owed to Allah

subhah waala and fast those days on her

behalf so what we learned from this

Hadith is that the prayer is a right of

Allah the worships that Allah obligated

upon us and commanded us to do they are

the rights of

Allah and we must show concern with the

rights of Allah and we must pay them in

full and worship Allah the way he

commanded us to do so allahar and as I

said to you my brothers and sisters in

Islam people today are

missing people are missing

people are not

praying because of work because of

worldly matters because of a party

because of a uh a gathering or an

invitation and they stay up long hours

of the night and then when he gets back

home and then go to

sleepb what is this we need to change

this kind of behavior and attitude to

this is wrong we must respect the rights

of Allah

and make them one number one in our life

after that your worldly matters come

number one is the obligations then

worldly matters

come you can look after that after after

you have achieved or fulfilled the

rights of Allah my brothers and sisters

in Islam the prayer is the right of

Allah

subh it is

wasam described it he said in

thei that the foundation of This Dean of

our religion is aat this is the

foundation you know if a house if you

remove the foundations of a house the

house would collapse so in other words

if you remove the prayers from your life

and you don't show concern in your

prayers you know what happens as a

result your entire IM would collapse

your relationship with Allah would

collapse for this is the first thing

that teaches us the importance of Salat

in the life of a believer that it is

it's the pillar and the foundation of

the religion it is the first thing and

the first matter that Allah subhanahu wa

taala will question us about on the day

of judgment allahar the Hadith goes on

to say that if theat was correct and

perfect and there was concern concerning

the prayer then all the Deeds you did

are all correct and perfect all the

Deeds that you're going to do now in the

10 days

of and the goodness that you do all of

this is depending on your Salat if your

Salat is given a tick on the day of

judgment everything else you did is

accepted and it's all good and if your

Sal was a big

cross if his prayer was corrupt and it

was neglected and you showed no concern

towards it everything else you did is

gone to ruin everything else is gone to

ruin and it is of no benefit allahar how

after you hear this Hadith can a person

neglect his Salat and focus on other

things prioritize my brothers and

sisters in Islam and use these 10 days

of to learn your Salat and to perfect

your Salat you have have 10 days you

have now eight days ahead of you as a a

short training course to perfect so that

after this you're able to pray in in a

in a good fashion in a manner that Allah

deserves so it is the first thing that

we are judged about on the day of

judgment uh also it

Isam it is the last matter

that wasam advised his before his

death just before he died

the

saidat meaning commit to the prayers

commit to the prayers and he said it

twice meaning he emphasized it and this

shows its

importance and Allah subhanahu wa

taala he praised those who pray he

praised them in the

Quran Allah he said about

that

is he used to instruct his family to

pray and to give zakat as a result Allah

was pleased with himb he earned the

pleasure of Allah because he would

instruct his family to pray and he used

to commit to the prayers as a result he

earned the pleasure of

Allah is in this the purpose of life

isn't this what we want in life to earn

the pleasure of Allah there's the

path

when he said in the

authentic may Allah have mercy upon a

man who woke up at night and prayed then

he went to his wife and he woke her up

and if she did not wake up he sprayed

water onto her

face and may Allah have mercy on a woman

who wakes up at night and prays and

wakes her husband up and if he does not

wake up she sprinkles water on his

face the these people earned Allah's

Mercy because of their concern

for this is their concern for a Sunnah

prayer which is the night prayer and

they earned Allah's Mercy for a prayer

that they showed concern in Imagine then

how much of Allah's Mercy would they

earn when they would show concern in

their obligatory

prayer my brothers and sisters in Islam

the more concern you show the Sunnah

prayers and the night prayers this helps

you in developing concern for your

obligatory

prayers and what proves the importance

of a Salat also this is an

introduction that Allah

disgraced the one who abandons and

neglects

a he

says Allah spoke about people who lost

interest in the prayer and they

abandoned the prayer completely and they

would pray whenever they feel like they

would delay these prayers and pray them

at the end of their time outside their

time Allah said about

them as a result they followed their

desires they were tested with their

desires there is no one on Earth that

abandons the prayer except that he

becomes weak towards his desires he

cannot control himself he becomes weak

and he submits to his desires and he

follows aan because these are two paths

it's either the path of Allah and you

stick firm on it or you're going to be

led to the path of aan there's nothing

in the middle there is nothing in the

middle at all it is either this or

this disgraced the one who neglected the

prayer and this shows how much Allah

loves this prayer that he disgraced the

one who abandoned it it shows us the

concern that a Believer is supposed to

have for this what was the result of

these people that abandoned the

prayers they will be thrown in they will

come in contact with

is a name uh of one of the levels in the

Hellfire my brothers and sisters in

Islam the greatest pillar of Islam is

as said in

the that Islam was built upon the

Oneness of Allah and to accept the

messenger Sall alai wasallam as being

the prophet of Allah and

then to establish the

prayer also what proves the importance

of is that Allah at the beginning he

obligated these prayers 50 prayers they

were 50 prayers at the beginning you

know what that means this is or this

proves the love Allah has

for that Allah initially wanted us to

pray 50

prayers this is the love Allah has for

Salat and this is how much Allah loves

to see us standing in Salat Allah loves

to see us standing in Salat so the First

Command was 50 prayers heck my servants

stand up between my hands 50 times in

the day and in the night and pray but

then out of mercy of Allah he reduced it

from from 50 to five prayers and he

still gave us the reward of 50 prayers

allahar and then we have people that do

not see the mercy of Allah in this

Hadith rather they took advantage of

this and they neglected five

prayers when initially it was 50 prayers

that's Allah's love for a Sal that he

made it 50 times a day there is nothing

in our

de that we are commanded to do like a

Salat nothing at all that we repeat

every single day and every single night

like a can you imagine this Ramadan is

once a year zakat is once a year that's

if you can afford

it is once a

lifetime was supposed to be 50 times a

day but by the mercy of Allah it was

reduced to

five and we were rewarded 50 for this

proof the love Allah has

for my brothers and sisters in Islam

also when Allah

subh listed

in the qualities of the successful

people the First Quality he mentioned he

said the first quality of the successful

Believers was that they have in

their not not the First Quality wasn't

those who pray no pray that's that's

that's a matter that's closed of course

every believer is supposed to

pray the First Quality was that they

have in their their is for them they

have reached excellence in their Salat

they cannot live without their Salat

that is the first quality of the

believer before before giving zakat

before anything

how can we neglect this how can we delay

our Salat after we hear this Hadith how

can we not show concern in our Salat how

can we still rush our prayers when we

know this is the first quality of

successful Believers not people that

pray because that's a given you're

supposed to be praying as a Believer

don't you dare give yourself the chance

or the option should I pray should I not

pray rather the First Quality was they

have in their and this takes training

and

exercise you get there but listen to the

lessons learn how to pray correctly how

to make

the he will get

there and then uh the last of the

qualities of the successful people in

that same passage

of said

and those who are that who Safeguard

their prayers they Safeguard them they

don't let any Salat slip away from them

they always careful and conscious and

cognizant about their prayers and they

pray every prayer on its

time this was so the first quality of

successful Believers and the last

quality was something related Tob

and from the importance of is that

Allah

commanded to instruct his followers and

his family to adhere to the prayer Allah

said commanded

the and told him pray and command and

instruct your family to

pray and finally or two more points I

share with you on the importance

of and that is that

allaham

commanded the one who slept through the

prayer or forgot about the prayer to

pray it as soon as he remembers it

that's how important it is that even if

you slept by accident let's say and you

slept

through or you slept through or whatever

it is then as soon as you wake up as

soon as as you open your eyes and you

remember get up make W and run to the

prayer doesn't this Hadith prove how

important Salat is that even the one who

slept through the prayer or forgot it

he's been commanded to get up and pray

it as soon as he remembers it not don't

worry it's gone Allah wait for the next

prayer you know unlike the other pillars

like look for example look at the ha for

example if if you miss

the wait for next

year no don't wait for the next Sal if

you forgot it by accident get up and

pray it as soon as you remember it and

finally what proves the importance of

aat is that it never ever drops in any

any circumstance

whatsoever never

drops in comparison to all the other

pillars of Islam

they might not be for you for example

zakat it's not for everyone zakat is not

for

everyone zakat is for people who have

money you pay zakat and other people

will take your zakat other people will

take the

zakat you know fasting Ramadan is not

for everyone if there's an old man an

old woman or someone that is terminally

ill with a chronic illness and he cannot

fast then fasting drops he doesn't have

to fast

feeds a poor person for every day and

that's it is not for everyone it's only

for the person who can afford it

financially and he's in physical health

and he's able to do otherwise is not

required on your behalf but look at

whether you're sick you're still pre

sitting down lying down whether you're

traveling pray whether you're in

Residence

pray whether uh you're on the

battlefield

there's a if you're on the battlefield

it's

called the prayer of the of of of

of pray it even one pray

pray if you're on the battlefied and

there is intense fee Allah commands the

Believers to pray as they're

running as your walking

pray on your horses and pray on your

horse it does not drop in any

circumstance whether you're sick whether

you're in extreme fear whether you're on

the battlefield your life is about to

your life is at risk you're about to die

don't

abandon and and that even Allah commands

the Believers to pray in

congregation is Allah taught it in the

Quran how it's prayed in

congregation imagine that if there was

one reason to abandon the congregation

prayer you'd think it's when you're on

the battlefield yet on the battlefield

your your life is at risk pray it in

Jama how can people then

neglect and the congregation for the men

specifically

any even if it's raining no matter what

case it is you pray even if there's no

water make and pray even if there's no

dirt let's say and you're stuck in a

prison cell and there is no dirt

whatsoever there's no water there is

absolutely nothing praying the way you

are explain this in detail even if you

don't have clothes on let's say someone

stuck in a prison cell and they removed

his clothes has no water has no dirt to

make pray the way you are if you don't

know the pray in any

direction I mean give me one instant in

Islam where prayer is

cancelled in concerning a specific

individual other than if a woman was to

have her uh

periods or an insane man that has lost

his mind these people they're not

responsible for and they're not

accountable for it was a concession from

Allah but other than that when does

where would the prayer drop it never

drops but this is enough my brothers and

sisters in Islam enough

to teach us the importance of the prayer

and why we're supposed to make it our

main focus in life and my brothers and

sisters in Islam I did not want to start

with the six points until I gave this

introduction of about half an hour so

that now when you understand the status

of Salat in Islam the position of the

prayer in Islam you will now pay

attention to what I will give you of six

points so forgive me for this bit of a

long introduction but now

we're going to enter and discuss these

six

points

that and by

Allah if these six

points you continuously realize them and

recognize them and feel them in your

heart and in your mind and in your soul

before

every it is going to enhance your Salat

in a way that you have never ever exper

experienced

ever

and you've given yourself the

opportunity to

reach excellence in and you've given

yourself a chance for to

be for the prayer to be the coolness and

the delight and the happiness of your

eye just like it was for our messenger

Sall meaning you will reach the level in

where you will fall in love love with

this prayer so much so that you will not

replace it with anything in this life no

matter how valuable this materialistic

matter

them down put them on a paper write
