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,
