Understanding the vocabulary of salah

MIN ENDEK

MEANSvAS A FAVOR FROM YOU

COMPLETY FORGIVE ME, WIPE MY SLATE CLEAN, AS A FAVOR FROM YOU!

Even in this is a lesson

I CANNOT DEMAND THIS FORGIVEBESS, I AM NOT DESERVING OF IT, BUT I AM BEGGING, I AM PLEADING, DO IT AS FAVOR FROM YOU
WARHAMNI- have mercy on me
INNA- MOST CERTAINLY, DEFINITLY,

KA- YOU

ANTA- you
The word “you” repeated twice? Its an effect, when you learn balagha, rhetotric, when you CREATE THIS COMBINATION, WHEN YOU REPEAT PRONOUNS you create the MEANING OF EXCLUSIVITY
MOST DEFINITELY YOU AND ONLY YOU!

GHAFOOR

MEANS CONSTANTLY FORGIVE

MOST DEFINITELY YOU AND ONLY YOU CAN CONSTANTLY FORGIVE
Why constantly? We already establishED I MAKE A LOT OFVMISTAKES,THAT I DO IT ABUNDANTLY

O ALLAH pleasE forgive me constantly

RAHEEM- CONSTANTLY MERCIFUL
You see a correlation of forgiveness and mercy, there is a connection!
O ALLAH MOST DEFINITELY I HAVE WRONGED MY SELF IN A HORRIBLE WAY OVER AND OVER AGAIN THERE IS NO ONE ESLE I CAN GO TO FOR FORGIVENESS OTHER THAN YOU O ALLAH I BEG YOU, I PLEAD YOU, WIPE MY SLATE CLEAN BECAUSE ONLY YOU AND ONLY YOU CAN CONSTANTLY FORIGIVE AND CONSTANTLY GIVE MERCY
Here comes the catch, mind-blowing point,

Prophet taught this to WHO?

ABU BAKR!! THE BEST OF THE BEST!

Prophet told him

YOUUUUUUU READ THIS SUPPLICATION EVERYR TIME YOU PRAY

IF HEEEEE NEEDED THE SUPPLICATION, WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU AND I STAND??????!

4.04 TASLIM

Saying salaam is just a method for existing prayer

When in jamaat you are doing it to people in congregation

When you are by yourself you are doing it to the angels

4.05 SUPPLICATION AND REMEMBRANCE AFTER TASLIM

PG23

DUAS THAT CAN BE READ AFTER SALAH

Some things the Prophet pbuh taught us specific things to do after prayer

ASTIFGRIHGULLAH- THREE TIMES

Root word is GHA FA RA-

Letter Seen and Letter ta added to it means SEEKING, WANTING SOMETHING

ASTAGHFIROO I seek Forgiveness

WE JUST FINISHED AN ACT FO OBEDIENCE, AT THE END WE SAY I SEEK FORGIVENESS!!

WHY?

Because of the MISTAKES we made in salah

This is an important lesson on HOW we worship

Afterwards we don’t feel like we have done a lot!

YOU NEED TO BE HUMBLE,

How you SHOULD HAVE prayed and how you actually prayed are world apart, as Allah to accept what ever you could do and forgive the mistakes and shortcomings.
ALLAHUM ANTASALAAMU WAMINKASALAAMU
ALLHUMA- O ALLAH

ANTA- YOU

ASALAAM- the root of this word SEEN LAAM MEEM SA LI MA, it means to BE SAFE, or to be at PEACE, from this we have greeting that we give to each other,

An ATTRIBUTE of Allah is ASSALAM- THE ONE WHO IS THE GRANTER OF PEACE AND SAFETY, THE ONE WHO GIVES AND GRANTS

ISLAM and MUSLIMS

ISLAM- means to submit,

Muslim is one who submits

How does submit come from peace and safety? BECAUSE THE ONLY WAY TO ATTAIN PEACE AND SAFETY IS TO SUBMIT TO ALLAH. THAT’S HOW WE GET TRUE PEACE and TRUE SAFETY

The Prophet pbuh would send letters to kings and other leaders and include

AS-LIM TASLA(submit, you will become safe)

SOOLUM- mean stairs

What do stairs or ladders have to do with safety?

The classical arabs would sometimes names things based on how they felt about them, they felt words were powerful, if we gave certain names, they would have effects on them.

Around ladders/stairs, people can fall, people can get hurt so they want people to be careful around ladders/stairs.

So when they looked at stairs or ladders, they named it as SAFETY, every time you say it , it comes from safety so it reminded person going up and down stairs to CONSTANTLY be safe
O ALLA YOU ARE THE GRANTOR OF PEACE AND SAFETY
