Understanding the vocabulary of salah

THE WORD KHAYR

The word KHAYR in interesting

It’s the opposite of SHAR

In its origin, even the sound of it

KHAYR is when things are consolidated, organized

Shar is when things are spread out

If you walk into room and there are papers all over the place, across the room, it bothers you!

You see papers EVERYWHERE it will bother you,

Imagine all those papers are neatly stacked and folded all into the middle of the room on the table, its ORGANIZATION, CLEANLINESS, its appealing,

KHAYR means something is organized, good

SHAR is spread out, its disorganized, no organization.
WA NASHKURUKA-

Nashkuruka comes from root word SHUKR which means to be grateful, thankful,

WE ARE GRATEFUL TO YOU, TO ALLAH,
WA LAA NAKFURUKA comes from root word KUFR

KUFR in its origin refers to sowing a seed,

The process of farming, they turn soil, put seeds in ground

KUFR MEANS TO PUSH SOMETHING UNDER, PUSH SOMETHING INSIDE (like seed)

You stuffed it under,

That’s what kufr means

Then in terms of gratefulness, it means UNGRATEFUL

Farmer is called kaafir, even Quran used it in that tone

Because what are we supposed to do with blessing? We are supposed to say ALHUMDULLILAH. When someone is ungrateful they are HIDING THE BLESSING OF ALLAH and not acknowledging that favor bestowed upon them
In faith and imaan, it means to disbelieve, he is suppressing and hiding his true nature (fitrah)

YAFJURKU- the one who OPENLY, UNABASHIDLY, VERY OPENELY INTENTIONALLY DISOBEYS YOU

WE DETACH THIS TYPE OF PERSON AND WALK AWAY, LEAVE THEM BEHIND

Important lesson! Especially for younger brothers and sisters

IMPORTANCE OF THOSE AROUND YOU

THE COMPANY YOU KEEP, THE PEOPLE YOU ASSOCIATE YOURSELF WITH, THE PEOPLE YOU REMAIN IN,

We are so concerned with dawah, nasiha, giving dawah, but do NOT let it be at the expense of your own imaan!!!!

His teacher said when you give nasiha to someone, if you are not having an effect on them, then realize THEY are having an effect on you! SOMEONE IS WINNING, THERE CANNOT BE TWO LOSERS, SOMEONE IS GETTING THE UPPER HAND!

IF YOU ARE NOT RUBBING OFF ON THEM, IF YOU HAVE BEEN HANGING OUT WITH THEM THEN REALIZE THEY ARE RUBBING OFF ON YOU!

WE WILL DETACH OURSELVES, AND REMOVE OURSELVES FROM PEOPLE THAT WILL VERY OPENLY, just don’t care, very intentionally sin

Almost like they are BRAGGING, with them we keep a distance from them!
Teacher is imam, people bring problems to you, so you learn certain things

Parents are very concerned about their youth, about the company they keep but problem is THEY are not willing to watch their own company!

So we will have free mixing parties and the second I see my son talking to girl, it’s the end of the world.

My children better not even think about it!...

What about me?

WHEN HE WAS BORN THE WAS PEOPLE AROUND THAT TIME, there were few family we were close with, but there was certain thing in their lives they would do like sing, smoking drinking, cursing,
