Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
And peace and blessings be upon the honour of the Prophet and the messengers, Muhammad and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him and his family and companions.
And peace and blessings be upon him and his family and companions.
My brothers and sisters, today I thought I will talk about some of the very common mistakes that I see here all the time.
These are small but they are very important. So it's very important to get these things right.
So first of all, the way Adhan is called. Many of you call the Adhan, many of you like to call the Adhan.
Alhamdulillah, it's good. But the way people call Adhan, except for one or two, it's all wrong.
The most common mistake is that people call it Adhan.
The most common mistake that is made in the calling of Adhan is Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar.
Now, in the Arabic language, according to the grammar, if you are going to combine these two phrases,
Allahu Akbar is said twice. But if you combine the two phrases, at the end of the first phrase,
Allahu Akbar, there is a Dhamma.
There is a Pesh.
Allahu Akbaru.
And the next Allah has to be joined with that Dhamma.
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar.
Not Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar.
So please keep that in mind. Otherwise your Adhan is wrong.
So Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar.
Right?
Second thing is,
Allahu Akbar,
many of you pronounce it as Allah Akbar.
If you listen to it, it sounds Allah Akbar.
Doesn't sound Allahu Akbar.
The who is very important.
Allahu Akbar.
The Akbar is connected with Allah.
Allah is the greatest.
Otherwise, Allah Akbar are two different, two separate words.
What's the connection?
So, Allahu Akbar.
Right?
I'm deliberately not saying which nationalities do these things.
But you know.
And nothing to do with being Arab or not Arab.
This is the issue of Tajweed of the Arabic language.
So this is the first mistake which is made.
Second thing is,
The Ra.
Allahu Akbar.
Some of you when you call the Adhan and Iqamah,
you put a Shadda on the Ra.
A Tajdeed on the Ra.
Allahu Akbar.
Allahu Akbar.
Allahu Akbar.
Allahu Akbar.
Allahu Akbar.
Allahu Akbar.
Allahu Akbar.
Allahu Akbar.
Allahu Akbar.
Allahu Akbar.
Allahu Akbar.
Allahu Akbar.
Allahu Akbar.
Allahu Akbar, right?
All of you.
Be careful.
Blessings to all of you.
So policing Allah and he bestows merciful mercy.
Then you go to learning.
So especially if you're listening to this накka,
if you're watching this listening to this it's like watching a lecturラ at our alarm
radio,
has been there mostly for thatear gossiping.
I think,
see that?
Have only gotten to have –
it's the most important động vivre.
How many people are listening?
If you want to make a DB,
if you want to practice,
because what's the compare them to,
be happy,
whatever you want to may be.
So it's almost that old-fashioned,
you learn,
look.
At this high place
that as long as you say a few times Allahu Akbar, a few times Ashadu wa la ilaha illallah,
this is enough. You can just say as many times as you like. So some people will say Allahu
Akbar twice, then they will say Ashadu wa la ilaha illallah twice, then they will say
something else. Please, there are two ways of calling the Ikham. First way is Allahu
Akbar four times. Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, and then two,
two, two, two, two. Ashadu wa la ilaha illallah, Ashadu wa la ilaha illallah, Ashadu anna
Muhammadun Rasulullah, Ashadu anna Muhammadun Rasulullah, Hayala sala, Hayala sala, Hayala
alfa la, Hayala alfa la, Qad qaamati sala, Qad qaamati sala, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar,
la ilaha illallah. So four times Allahu Akbar in the beginning, then everything two, la
ilaha illallah once. The second one is two times Allahu Akbar, everything else once,
appropriately.
Except Qad Qamatul Salah which is twice and the La Ilaha Illallah once.
So Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Ashadu wa la Ilaha Illallah, Ashadu anna Muhammadu Rasulullah,
Hayalul Salah, Hayalul Fala, Qad Qamatul Salah, Qad Qamatul Salah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La Ilaha Illallah.
Right?
There is no third way of doing it.
So don't just mix up a few times Allahu Akbar, a few times, no.
There is a proper way of doing the Qama.
Third thing is, Ashadu an la Ilaha Illallah.
I have heard people saying Ashadu anna la Ilaha Illallah.
There is no Ashadu anna la Ilaha Illallah.
Ashadu an la, and then the noon joins with the laam.
So Ashadu an la, it's not Ashadu anna, Ashadu an la Ilaha Illallah, Ashadu an la.
That noon becomes silent, joins with the laam.
Ashadu an la.
Ashadu an la Ilaha Illallah.
Same way, Ashadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah.
Now this is the issue of when the anna comes, the word after the anna has a fatah.
So Ashadu anna Muhammad, many people say Ashadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah.
No.
Ashadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah.
Ashadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah.
Not Rasulullah.
That's another mistake.
Like it is Ashadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah.
No, Rasulullah.
Ashadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah.
Alright?
So Adhan and Ikhama, very, very important.
Third thing is, people come and join in the Salah.
And I don't know if they say Allah Akbar or not, but I don't see it.
They just come, especially if the Imam is in Ruku, they will come, go straight into Ruku.
Or even if the Imam is not in Ruku.
Imam is in Qiyam.
Qiyam, they just come and stand there with a handful.
Now, please understand.
Allahu Akbar, saying Allahu Akbar at the beginning of the Salah is a pillar of the Salah.
It's a Rukun of the Salah.
If you do not say Allahu Akbar, then your Salah is not valid.
You have not entered Salah.
Now, when you say Allahu Akbar to raise your hands up here, this is Sunnah.
Alhamdulillah, if you do it, that's fine.
If you don't do it also, it's okay.
But you have to say Allahu Akbar.
When you raise your hands, just...
Just raise your hand.
Don't touch the ears, earlobes, this, that.
No, just raise the hand, either at the shoulder level or at the ear level.
That's it.
Right?
So, saying Allahu Akbar is very, very...
Don't have to say loudly, but say.
Without that, your Salah is invalid.
You have not entered Salah at all.
So, make sure that you say Allahu Akbar.
Then, the Qiyam at the time of Takbir al-Haram or Takbir Tahrimah.
This also, if at all possible, is wajib.
So, stand and say Allahu Akbar.
Then, sit down.
Those people who need to sit down, no problem.
Alhamdulillah.
But stand and say Allahu Akbar.
The shart is, if you can stand.
The point is, if you came all the way from your home to the masjid, of course, you can stand.
Otherwise, how did you get here?
Right?
So, the question on can't stand does not arise.
Because you can't stand.
That's how you are here.
So, stand and do Allahu Akbar and sit down.
No problem.
All right.
Sometimes, people think if I stand, I have to fold my hand.
Then, how can I sit down?
You don't have to.
You sit down.
Then, you fold your hand.
No problem.
I'm not saying fold up.
No.
Stand and say Allahu Akbar.
Then, sit down.
But, it is very important.
The Qiyam at the time of Takbir al-Haram is also wajib.
So, therefore, we stand and do this.
All right.
Then, we come to the issue of Jumu'ah.
If I'm missing anything, please.
Please remind me.
Now, in Jumu'ah.
Jumu'ah is a Salah by itself.
Jumu'ah is a special Salah.
Jumu'ah is not Zuhur Salah.
Right?
Jumu'ah is Jumu'ah.
There are many differences between Jumu'ah and Zuhur.
Now, in Jumu'ah, first and foremost, try to come early.
Because Rasulullah said, Allah appoints two angels which stand at the gate of the Masjid.
And when you enter for Jumu'ah, your name is recorded in a register.
And this is.
Good for us.
Before Allah .
So, try to come early.
Come into the Masjid.
Pray two rakat, Tahiyyatul Masjid.
Tahiyyatul Masjid is wajib.
With some of the Aima, it is Fard.
But definitely, it is wajib.
So, praying two rakat, Tahiyyatul Masjid before you sit down.
First thing you do is very, very important.
So, pray two rakat, Tahiyyatul Masjid.
Then, if you have come so early that the Imam is not there, the Khateeb is still.
Khutbah is not started.
Alhamdulillah.
Good for you.
So, read Quran, make Zikr.
Because this whole time that you are waiting for the Salah is counted as Ibadah, as counted as Salah.
Right?
Second thing is, when you come, come as far forward as possible.
That does not mean step over people and do all that.
But where you can come decently without having anybody.
Come as far forward as possible.
And come and sit down where you are.
Don't sit.
Don't sit.
At the back.
Don't sit on the side of the Masjid.
Leaning against the wall.
Sticking your legs out.
Right?
Even when you sit here in front of the Imam.
It is so terrible.
I mean, I've never seen this kind of lack of adab in any country in the world.
Allah has given me the opportunity to travel all over the world.
Never except America.
And believe me, it's not the African Americans or the white Americans who are doing this.
It's all of the people doing all this stuff.
It's people who come from countries where if they did that, somebody will break their leg.
They will sit in front of the Mimbar, both the legs extended like this.
Suppose I'm giving the Khatia, right?
So I'm going to sit like this.
You like it?
My foot in your face.
You like my foot in your face?
Then why should I like your foot in my face?
Absolutely disgusting.
Right?
Now I can make that statement from the Mimbar.
Right?
You will get publicly insulted.
I don't want to do that.
I mean, what kind of you do?
You come from what?
Your parents don't teach you this stuff?
Really, I mean, you have to think about this.
I mean, even to say this thing, I feel ashamed.
Why should I be saying this to grown people, Muslims?
You come to the masjid, you sit in the Saab, and you are feeding the Muslims.
You sit in the Saab, and your feet are in the face of the Mimbar.
Inna lillahi wa inna ir-rajim.
The awe of this side is Qimla.
