المراء يتشر كرد يدنى روية تدارأ مرادر كوشه أردت for the hastening of the reappearance of our beloved Imam لتسرسائط three loud صلوات على محمد وآلي محمد Dear scholars, respected elders, dear younger ones, brothers and sisters in Islam may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon you all السلام عليكم جميعا رحمة الله وبركاته نحن في بعض الأمر في عامة رمضان في عامة القرآن في عامة where by one verse recitation of the Holy Quran in this month is equivalent to reciting the whole of the Quran in any other month في عامة whereby we are recommended to recite read understand and appreciate the true values of the Holy Quran and especially in these nights the nights of Qadr the nights which is equivalent to a thousand months of worship and worship the month whereby the Holy Quran was revealed upon our Holy Prophet these nights and in this month we need to understand the value of the Holy Quran it's important not just to read the Quran but to be of those who take the valuable words of Imam صلى الله عليه وسلم who says do not disregard the words of the Quran and do not be of those who disregard the words of the Quran for they are surely of those who are those who are surely astray from the part because of what because they disabandon they disconnected they abandoned and they stayed far apart from the Quran the Quran is one of those jewels that shall complain on the day of judgment that I was amongst the people but they abandoned me and they allowed غبار and dust to set on me on their shelves never to read it never to recite it and some of us we think that Quran is to be read only in the month of Ramadan Quran is a walking guide and advice and everyday in our lives we should open read, recite and understand and appreciate the teachings of the Quran and practice those teachings in our lives today when we look at a topical review of the words of the topics and subjects that have been mentioned in the Quran one of the topics that has been mentioned on numerous occasions in the Holy Quran is the word صلا when we look at for example the longest surah in the Holy Quran سورة البقرة the word صلا is mentioned when we look at the shortest surah in the Holy Quran سورة الكوثر for example فصلي لربك وانحر the word صلا or its connotation is mentioned in the shortest surah you notice for example in 90 different occasions the 90 verses mentioned the importance of صلا صلا has been highlighted and today what is صلا صلا is the act of worship bringing us closer on a platform closer towards الله سبحانه وتعالى is this act of worship why is it called صلا why لأنها صلا بين العبد وخالق why this act that we performed that prayer that we performed called صلا because it's a connection a link between the created between the servant and his creator and his lord it's a connection it's a station that we greet and meet our lord and we discuss and speak towards our lord when you look in the Holy Quran not only it mentions the importance of صلا but there are different the sendings of the word صلا for example there is a moment where Allah سبحانه وتعالى mentions in الله وملائكته you saloon very الله and his angels they send صلا on the Holy Prophet in here it does not mean that Allah سبحانه وتعالى pray on the Holy Prophet rather صلا this verse means the importance of the blessings and the mercy of Allah سبحانه وتعالى upon the Holy Prophet يا أيها الذين آمنوا صلوا عليه وسلموا تسيما oh you believe also you send your blessings and mercy upon the Holy Prophet وسلموا تسيما and send your peace and greetings upon the Holy Prophet صلوات the first وجب obligation upon every Muslim being which was ordained before صيام before fasting and prayer the first act of worship we learn when we become Muslims or when we have the responsibility of performing the وجب acts is صلا the first thing that shall be questioned and accounted for on our حسام on our accountability is صلا فإن قبي لقبي لما سواها وإن ردة ردة ما سواها if your صلا is accepted every other action is accepted if your صلا is rejected everything else is abandoned first thing is صلا hence you notice not only the first thing that was highlighted and placed an important aspect towards for every single one of us was صلا but you notice when you look at the lives of the أهل البيت their very last message to their companions to their followers to the believers to those who surrounded them was the importance of صلا for example our Holy Prophet the last messages that he would give the last words that he would give he would say الصلا الصلا ليس مننا من استخف بصلا one is not from us one is not amongst us the one who takes their صلا lightly لن ينالوا شفاعتنا من استخف بصلا one who takes their صلا lightly they will not have the شفاعة of the أهل البيت they will not have the intercession of the أهل البيت you notice further in the life of أمير المؤمنين in his will الله الله في الصلا فإنها عموده دينكم فيه الله فيه الله رمانب الله رمانب الله and matters in regards to صلا for صلا is the pillar of your religion عمود الدين pillar you notice further the importance of صلا is mentioned not only perform صلا الله سبحانه و تعالى says establish صلا أقيم الصلا there is a difference between performing صلا than establishing صلا إقامة الصلا what's إقامة what's performing and establishing صلا establishing صلا is when you set a firm basis in your life a firm basis in your lifestyle that you have a firm station and that firm permanent station must be صلا hence when one asks you why do we pray why open the Holy Quran you notice the answers there in three words الله سبحانه و تعالى states أقيم الصلا why لذكر establish prayers why in order to establish the remembrance of الله سبحانه و تعالى just think and imagine if today صلا was not ordained واجب upon me how many of us would have gone down into سجد and said سبحانه و تعالى how many of us would have gone to prostration and thanked Allah سبحانه و تعالى how many of us would have recited the surah from the Holy Quran if there was no Salah today how many of us if we did not have Salah as an establishment in our lives how many of us would have remembered الله سبحانه و تعالى establish Salah لذكر الله why إنما فريضة الصلاة the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم states إنما فريضة الصلاة why لإقامة ذكر الله in order to establish remembrance of Allah سبحانه و تعالى the only moment that you shun everything away you abandon everything disconnect yourself from everything in this world and meet and greet and speak and discuss and convey everything in yourself towards your Lord is in Salah hence you notice that every single of the prophets every single one of the Ahlul Bayt they would highlight the most important part of their life was Salah you notice the Quran mentions the importance of the establishment of Salah for example Prophet Ibrahim he would raise his hands in dua and he would say رب جعلني مقيم الصلاة oh Allah oh my Lord allow me to be of the ones who have إقامة الصلاة who establish Salah not only me رب جعلني مقيم الصلاة women درية and I pray to Allah سبحانه و تعالى that also my family my children my progeny they also established Salah in their lifestyle Prophet Ismail الله سبحانه و تعالى says in his life كان يأمر أهله بالصلاة Prophet of Allah سبحانه و تعالى he used to advise and command and recommend and remind his family the importance of Salah لقمان عليه الصلاة حكيم the wise لقمان in the words of conversations that he used to have with his son he would say يا بني أقيم الصلاة oh beloved dear son establish Salah and this is a very important point that we need to remind one another brothers and sisters parents and young ones when you wish to inform others to pray Salah inform them in the best of أخلاق the best of ways of how to speak لقمان عليه الصلاة he speaks to his son يا بني oh beloved son oh dear son establish Salah sometimes we notice that some people when they wish to converse with someone to bring them to Salah they make it as the most disgusting thing in their life if you don't pray you won't be able to play if you don't pray you won't be able to go to school if you don't pray you'll go out if you don't you're making them have that dislike towards Salah instead of informing them if you pray you establish the greatest remembrance of Allah if you pray أبواب الانجنان مفتوحة if you pray the gates of paradise are open upon you if you pray you are performing what the prophets of Allah performed what the Ahlulbayt performed giving them the positive the true understanding so that the sons and daughters the children and others they love Salah and they approach and come near to Salah not because you've told them about Salah but because they love the understanding that this station is bringing in me closer towards Allah سبحانه وتعالى establish Salah in order to establish the remembrance of Allah سبحانه وتعالى أمان came to the sixth Imam Imam جعفر الصادق صلوات الله وسلام علي and he informed the sixth Imam that he wishes to go on a journey to travel and he said يبنى رسول الله I'm still undecided shall I go on this safar on this journey or not Imam said I advise you not to go he said يبنى رسول الله can you do for me an استخارة استخارة whether I should go or not the استخارة turned out to be bad Imam said I advise you not to go on this journey the man he did not adhere to the teachings to the words of the sixth Imam and he went on that business journey that travel he went for a few days and then he returned happy smiling the Imam saw him Imam said how are you how's your journey he said الحمد لله everything went well Imam said everything went well he said الحمد لله everything went well he contrast your استخارة that came bad Imam said I'll tell you what happened to you he said the night that you arrived to that city you were with your friends you stayed in your friends house you had a lot of meal you had food then you went to sleep when you went to sleep you missed the most important meeting in your lifetime he said which meeting I went to all my business meetings Imam said you did not wake up for Salat Al-Fajr you did not pray Salat Al-Fajr and what you missed on that meeting in that Fajr you'll never be able to replace the benefits and the thawab of that one Fajr Salat that you missed that one Fajr Salat that you missed hence you notice when the imma and the Ahlulbayt when it would come was the time of Salat the station of Salat they would abandon everyone else and say that I have the most important meeting to go to at the time of the establishment of Salat at the time of remembrance of Allah SWT what's the most important thing for me to know number one if I wish to maximize my understanding my prayer time my prayer meeting I need to be aware the words of Allah SWT حافظوا على الصلاة take care and be aware of the importance of Salat timings masha'Allah in the month of Ramadan everyone has memorized the time of Salat not because of the time of Salat but because of time of iftah insha'Allah this tradition continues or this remembrance continues after the month of Ramadan that we remember the time of Salat that when it comes towards the time of Salat we abandon everything else and we say now is the time that I must go on pray if anyone of us has a meeting tomorrow at 11 o'clock 11 in the morning how many of us would go to that important meeting important interview at 3 PM there's no point there's no benefit going at 3 PM or if someone was to say if you come at 11 AM the meeting at the meeting you would receive a reward of 1000 pounds but if you arrive at 5 PM you would receive only 10 pounds how many of us would go at 11 AM would rush would stand outside at 1030 because we know the reward is greatest there the reward greatest for Salat is at the time of Fadila at the time of Fadila حينس رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم says one who takes precautions and is aware of the Salam time and starts his prayer at the time of Salat كان له نورا وبرهانا ونجاة من النار يوم القيامة that Salat that you performed at the time at the precious time at the Fadila the prescribed time it shall be a light for you a beacon for you a safety a guarantor for you against نارة جهنم for you to cross towards Jannah they ask the people of Jannah ما سلككم في صغر what's brought you to Nair Jahannam not only towards Nair Jahannam towards the lowest pits of Nair Jahannam not only towards the lowest pits of Nair Jahannam ما سلككم في صغر what did they reply they were Muslims what did they reply قالوا لم نكون من المصلي what's brought me here is that we were of those Muslims those believers who did not used to pray hence Allah سبحانه وتعالى says فاويلٌ لل ما صلين ووووو be upon those who pray continue the verse اللذين هم عن صلاحهم those who are heedless have you seen those people who are heedless in their medication timings medication timings it says on their prescription on their medication that you have to take this medication ثلاثة في اليوم one with the morning meal one with the lunch meal and one with the evening meal if you take all three medication at the same time it's bad for your health if you take all three medication at different times very far apart it's also bad for your health the medication would only be of true benefit for you if you take it at the prescribed time that the doctor has prescribed for you hence they say they came to one of the ulama they said that i pray a lot i perform salah but when i pray it's as if my salah has not been accepted i pray for certain things and i noticed that some of my salah is not being accepted he said do you know why he said i'll give you an example that sheikh that alim he took out his medication and he had a capsule he said do you see this capsule what's made of he said two caps is this beneficial for you he said yes if i'm ill and if i take this medication this capsule help me because it's got active ingredients medicine inside it the sheikh the alim he removed the caps the two caps he poured out the medicine he closed the two caps the capsules together he said how about if i give you this capsule now would it benefit you he said no why would it not benefit you he said because he does not have the medicine inside him he said in the same way some of us pray salah pray salah perform salah but it has no active ingredient in it no substance in it hence that salah is like a bounce check it goes up to the sky they notice there's nothing of value in this person's life throw back that salah down bounce check have you seen bounce check when you write a check for someone one million pounds you feel happy with yourself it goes to the bank they say this guy has no one million pounds and it's like how return it and they charge you for it the same way some of us our salah is like a bounce check with no meaning with no substance in it حافظوا على الصلاة take precautions precautions precautions at the time of صلاة امير المؤمنين ادي يبدأ بيطارب صلوات الله وسلام علي not only used to praise صلاة at the time of صلاة but he loved صلاة كان يحشق الصلاة he yarned and he anticipated the moment of صلاة ابن عباس narrates that we were in the middle of the battlefield صفين sword this way arrows this way and we would look at امير المؤمنين he was busy and occupied what's he busy and occupied and doing he would look at the sky what's امير المؤمنين at this busy moment of of the battlefield of صفين we asked ya Ali what are you doing why are you occupying yourself with he said i am looking for the time of زوال الشمس for the time of صلاة الظهر they said يا امير المؤمنين we are in the middle of the battlefield some of us when it comes to the time of صلاة your mother father tells you i'm in the middle of the playstation i'm in the middle of this message i'm in the middle of this i'm in the middle of the tv series abandon it all listen what امير المؤمنين says we are here in the battlefield why امير المؤمنين when it used to come towards صلاة towards عبادة he was known to pray صلاة not the 17 رقع that we pray واجب صلاة no امير المؤمنين was even greater he used to pray 1000 ركع امير المؤمنين was even greater he used to pray 1000 ركع 1000 ركع of صلاة daily some of us struggled to perform 1000 يل امير المؤمنين daily used to place eight hours a third of his day for عبادة الله for worshiping الله for praying صلاة for gaining true nearness in the station of صلاة امير المؤمنين used to say these words he would say 2 رقع of صلاة in the masjid is more valuable and more beloved to علي ابن ابي طالب than residing in جنة he used to say إلهي my lord why am i worshiping you why am i gaining this true towards الله سبحانه وتعالى why am i praying towards الله سبحانه وتعالى why have i worshiped you امير المؤمنين why does Imam worship الله سبحانه وتعالى he says i'm not worshiping you in order to gain the greed of heaven to enter جنة and i'm not worshiping you in order to stay away from fire from جهنة so why is امير المؤمنين worshiping الله سبحانه وتعالى ولكن عبادتك لانك اهل لذلك why am i worshiping you for you الله صحيحا يحاول امير المؤمنين his life was the embodiment of صلاة he yearned for the moment of صلاة when he was struck in an arrow they said the best moment to remove that painful arrow and the leg of امير المؤمنين would be in the time of صلاة because امير المؤمنين when he's in the station and the platform of صلاة he abandons himself from this world and he's in full connection with الله سبحانه وتعالى hence he himself would say الله الله في صلاة حافظوا على الصلاة take precautions at the moment of صلاة ولا يشغلنكم امورة الدنيا do not allow the world the affairs make you busy and occupied at the time of صلاة do not be of those فاويل للمصلين الذين هم عن صلاةهم ساهم don't be of those who are careless heedless in their prayers won't be upon them امير المؤمنين he knew that when he was struck on the head by the poisonous sword of the of ابن ملجم that was true victory that he has gained the nearness of his lord when فزت ورب الكعب when when i am praying towards the lord of the kapa when i am on the embodiment of prayer towards الله سبحانه وتعالى this is my victory this is my victory and صلاة as we all know there is the wajib prayer the daily prayers which is wajib upon us there is the wajib prayer in طواف of makkah there is the wajib prayers for example when one passes away he has a funeral ceremony there is the wajib احتياط wajib wajib upon one person at the very least to perform صلاة والميت on the deceased jannah one a person who's so dear towards us so beloved towards us احتياط سكولر احتياط عالم احتياط man known for his nobility for his characteristics we call everyone and tell them by the way there is صلاة والميت صلاة الجنازة for this particular عالم for this respectable man so that everyone gathers and joins to bid their well towards that man towards that person but how many were there today for the صلاة والميت of امير المؤمنين how many were there hundreds thousands millions only a handful were there for صلاة والميت of امير a handful a man who was the greatest man after رسول الله who was أحب الخلائق إلى الله a few were there for his صلاة والميت and as they were raising his coffin his جنازة امام حسن was carrying from this side امام حسن from this side and in the front do you know who was carrying the جنازة no human being was carrying the جنازة the جنازة at the front was carried by specific creatures of الله ملائكة الله unknown creatures that we know unknown human beings it was being carried and it was leading these جنازة the جنازة to an unknown place امام حسن towards one side امام حسن towards one other side الله وانا إليه راجعون وعليا واماما one could would call from one side another would call from another side until the جنازة itself would lead towards the city of نجف as it's known today they would notice that there was a dug grave a dig it was digged and it was opened up full of new who has prepared this grave it has mentioned on it this grave has prepared by نبي الله نور فهو فعلي ابن أبي طالب فأمام known as they bury their father امام حسن and امام حسن where should they go they need to return and go back home towards kufr brothers and sisters remember if you bury your own father and now you have to return home all you wish to see in that home is your beloved father but before they arrive to the city of كوفا امام حسن notices that there is a hut and there's a man crying out loud وا سيدا وا سيدا they rush towards that hut او او شخ how can we help you they notice that man is blind he can't see he he says to them there was a man every single day he would come to this hut he would feed me he would clothe me he would take care of me he would provide for me everything i needed he would ask for and he would provide me for everything i would ask him he would provide me where is he i'm concerned about him امام حسن says give us more about him he would say more about the wonderful امير المومنين they would say oh man we have just returned from the burial of our father that was the caliph of the time امير المومنين that man starts to beat his head he would say وا سيدا وا اماما وا عليا but this is the امام امام حسن امام بسين they've just returned from the funeral of their father they've performed the funeral the funeral of their father they buried it لا يوم كيوم كيابا عبد الله امام علي هم the funeral rites performed for him he had the prayer rites performed for him امام حسن he would be alone in the sands of karbala

رسول الله i am the grand salah رسول الله they would strike him they would attack him he would say لم تقتلونني why are you killing me they would say بغضا لا بيك علي يبنا بطالب why are we killing you out of hatred for your father علي يبنا بطالب they would strike him for one side strike him for another side until say the zaynab zaynab she would call out يوم على صدر المصطفى ويوم على وجه الثرم هذا هكذاب للمصطفى هكذاب one day i see حسين being embraced by رسول الله رسول الله would hug him رسول الله would kiss him رسول الله would love him now i see him i'm حسين he would be rushed towards him he
