Understanding the vocabulary of salah

THE FIRST LESSON IN ARABIC CLASSES

This was the FIRST LESSON IN ARABIC DAY 1

The words ILMOON and

AA MA LUN

They are the same 3 letters shifted around

These words are intimately related

ILMOON- means knowledge

AA MA LOON- means action, to implement that knowledge

These little vowels, we call them HARKAAAT (fatha, kusra, damma)
Harakah means MOVEMENT,

Because they move sounds

But middle guy on top of LAAM is SUKOON- its means ABSENCE OF MOVEMENT (opposite of movement)

The teacher said

In the midle of knowlde, in the middle of the word is sukoon

To seek knowdle ABSCENCE OF MOVEMENT IS NEEDED

YOU CANNOT GET KNOWLEDGE MOVING AROUND,

YOU NEED TO TAKE TIME OUT, YOU NEED TO SIT DOWN AND LEARN

ONCE YOU HAVE ACQUIRED THAT KNOWLEDGE then comes the next step- AML
ALL THREE LETERS OF AML HAVE HARAKAAT. IMPLEMENT THAT KNOWLEDGE, USE THAT KNOWLEDGE, ALL THREE LETTERS HAVE HARAKAAT
THIS IS SALAH, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING AFTER IMAAN

THE THING THAT CAN IMPROVE ALL AREAS OF YOUR LIFE

IT’S A SPECIAL BLESSING TO HAVE THE OPPOTUNITY TO BETTER OUR SALAH
One weekend is worth the investment (this was free Friday so the teacher was encouraging us to take the entire course which was the entire weekend)

Hadith

INSERT HADITH

AWALUU “ THE VERY FIRST THING that the slave will be ACCOUNTED for on the day of judgment is SALAH.” If the prayer was good, correct, established, was taken care of, ALL OF HIS ACTIONS will also be correct. (One thing is to understand is that salah is the foundation of our deen, the basis for our relationship with Allah, and also the foundation with OTHER aspects of lives, family, friends, etc. WHEN YOU HAVE A SOLID FOUNDATION, WHAT EVER YOU BUILD ON THAT IS SOLID.

Foundation is IMPRTANT.

The Prophet pbuh is saying if someones salah is solid, EVERYTHING else is solid. BUT IF HIS SALAH IS CURRUPTED then all other of his actions will be corrupted because they won’t be built upon salah!. The Prophet pbuh said the FIRST thing is salah.
NOW WE LOOK AT Quran

Beginning of Surah Muminoon.

INSERT QURANIC AYAH

Surah 23 and Ayah 1 to 11

Allah says “QAD AFLAHAMUMINOON- Most definitely success has been attained , achieved by the believers

Then Allah tells us the qualifies of believers

FIRST thing Allah says

1. 
   THEY HAVE the QUALITY, KHUSHOO IN THEIR PRAYERS, they experience their salah
   
2. 
   THEN, they don’t waste their time,
   
3. 
   They purify themselves
   
4. 
   They are MORAL and ETHICAL in their social behavior
   
5. 
   When they are given a trust they keep that trust, when they make a promise they keep their word
   
6. 
   They are MINDFULL over the times of their prayers
   

THESE are the people, MOST DEFFFINITELY. THEY WILL INHERIT (what will they inherit?)…They will inherit JANATUL FIRDOUS!

WHY INHERET? Inheritance implies THIS IS YOUR RIGHT

FOR THIS NOT TO BE GIVEN TO YOU IS A CRIME, TO DENY INHERITENCE IS A CRIME

TO NOT GIVE IT TO THEM IS A CRIME!
AND THEY ARE IN IT FOR ALL OF ETERNITY
Look at this, EVERYTHING WENT GOOD FOR THESE PEOPLE, WHAT WAS THE FOUNDATION? SALAH that’s where it started…
In another passage

SURAH MADDASSIR

29^TH JUZ

This is dialogue between people of jannah and the hell fire

“ Jannata Yatasaaa Aloon” (they are in the garden of paradise),

Ya ta saa aloon

Then a conversion starts amongst themselves
