Deen of love

Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
And peace and blessings be upon the noble and noble messengers.
Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, may peace and blessings be upon him and his family,
and many, many peace and blessings be upon him.
My brothers and sisters, I remind you and myself
that we have a religion of love.
Love for Allah and love for his Rasul, peace be upon him.
We do not have a religion of convenience.
My brothers and sisters, the religion of love is not an easy religion.
The sign of love is the acceptance of the afflictions
of the beloved.
The sign of love is to accept the afflictions,
accept inconvenience for the sake of the beloved.
Any number of examples where we have the Rasul, peace be upon him,
peace be upon him,
and his Sahaba going through all kinds of difficulties
for the Rida of Allah.
Take everything in Islam.
Take, for example, I always give the examples of the five Arqam of Islam.
Right?
Take Shahada.
For somebody to accept Islam itself,
I'm not talking about people like us,
who are Muslim,
who are born into Islam.
That did not take any Taglif.
That's a fortunate, lucky accident.
I'm talking about the people who come into Islam.
Is it easy for them?
It is the most difficult decision.
There is no decision which is more difficult than to change the religion of your forefathers.
And almost all of them accept, maybe some accept,
but almost all of them,
they face all kinds of hardship.
I remember one question which one lady asked one of the Shukh.
She said,
is it permissible to pray,
to make Salah in the toilet?
So I thought,
what kind of a question is this?
People ask any kind of stupid question.
My immediate, you know, reaction,
what kind of a stupid question is this?
You know?
So the Shaikh said to her,
why are you asking this question?
This shows that you must have some patience.
She said, why are you asking question?
She says, because I am the only Muslim in my house.
And if I pray where my parents see me,
they will kill me.
I fear for my life.
If I pray and my parents know I'm a Muslim,
they will kill me.
I cannot leave my house and go anywhere.
I don't have that ability.
But I don't want to miss Salah.
So the only place I can pray
without them catching me is inside the toilet.
So am I permitted to pray in the toilet?
What is the fatwa?
So,
Kaliwa,
very inconvenient,
full of Taglif.
Then becomes a fatwa.
So,
Salah.
Tell me,
would it be convenient to pray one time a day or five times a day?
No brainer, right?
Obviously,
one time is this.
Or even five times a day at any time convenient to you.
I am praying.
Why should I pray at this time?
Rasool Allah ,
they asked him,
what is the best deed?
He said,
Salah,
ala waqtiyah.
Salah,
ala waqtiyah.
The best thing is to pray two rak'ahs of nafil between adha and nikamah.
Bilat akhir,
without delay.
Time comes in,
pray.
Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said,
there is time for two rak'ahs of nafil between adha and nikamah.
He didn't say pray Talabhi between Aghab and,
Two rak'ahs of nafil.
How long does it take?
Give that time.
Pray.
It is not only for one.
On all the Salah,
this is the,
Kaur of the Rasool alaihi salatu wasalam, not my opinion.
So very inconvenient, right?
No, you can't do all this.
You have to pray at the time.
You can't pray when it is convenient, I can come, I can't come.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
You pray at the time of the sala.
And not going into the ijazah of this, ijazah of that and the, you know, the whatever people
have done.
No, I am saying this is the hadith of the Rasool alaihi salatu wasalam.
So sala, five times a day at its time.
Convenient or inconvenient?
Very inconvenient.
On top of that, which is the sala for which Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala descends to the
first heaven and Allah announces, who is there who wants me, wants something from me, let
him ask.
Who is there who wants my protection, let him ask.
Which sala is that?
