BISMILLAH I BEGIN WITH THE HELP OF THE NAME OF ALLAH Who is ARAHMAAN- abundantly merciful Araheem- constantly merciful WHO IS ABDUNTLY MERCIFUL, WHO IS CONSTANTLY MERCFIUL Hadith: An act that is not started by saying bismallah, it is devoid of blessing!”* SURAH FATIHA PAGE 28 Has virtues of Surah Fatiha HADITH: 2 BIG GIFTS FROM ALLAH Ibn Abbas narrates BAYNA MAA JIBREEL- jibrel was sitting with the messenger of Allah SAMIAN AQEEDAN- he heard a sound from up above He heard the sound like a door is being open after a long time, it creaks open He raised his head, this is the door in the heavens, its been opened today, its never been opened EVER before today. An angel came down from this door, This is an angel that has descended down to the earth to the ground, this angel has NEVER come down to the earth This angel said salaam The angel said “Congratulations, you have been givin 2 gifts, 2 honors that no prophet before you was EVER given before you” First gift- FATIHA Second gift- the last 3 ayahs of Surah Baqaarah ANY TIME YOU RECITE EVEN A LETTER OR A WORD, YOU WILL BE BLESSED WITH REWARD, YOU PRAYERS AND SUPPLICATIONS AND DUAS WILL BE ANSWERED. We will study the LAST THREE AYAH OF SURAH BAQARAH. We need DIVERSITY in what we read in our salah. If you have more memorized something, READ IT! 3.01 WE GO INTO RUKU Top of page 13 We say Allahu akbar, This phrase is constantly repeated in SALAH! Allah is greater than BLANK (what ever is distracting you from Allah in salah) Many times we start salah right, then all of sudden become distracted…something pops into your mind So when you go into ruku- you REFOCUS, ALLAH IS GREATER THAN MY PHONE BUZZING, THAN KIDS RUNNING LAPS AROUND ME, Why are you wasting your focus? Especially at such an amazing precious time?! ADHMUN- bone- strongest part of body ADHEEM- is the one who is CONSTANTLY FIRM CONSTANTLY STABLE SUBHANALLAH HOW AMAZINGLY PERFECT IS MY LORD THE ONE WHO IS STRONG AND STABLE Now we want to connect the posture of ruku to the strength and stability. Why do we say this particular tasbeeh in ruku? The position in ruku is THE MOST VULRENABLE AND UNBALANCED POSITION in salah It’s a very awkward position When in ruku, THE BALANCE OF YOUR BODY IS OFF Even the strongest person in ruku, if someone ran into them from the side, they would fall down We are very unstable Vulnerable Weak WHEN WE ARE VULRENABLE, WEAK UNSTABLE, WHAT DO WE ATTIBUTE TO ALLAH? STRENGTH AND STABILITY We can introduce people to EXTRA THINGS THAT we can recite that we don’t normally do EXTENDED DHIKR IN RUKU Normally we say subhanarabialadheem SUBUUHUN QUDOOSUN- Sounds like subhana, root is SA BA HA SubhAAN talks about ABUNDANCE, HOW ABSOLOUTLY ABDUNDANT
Allah is the one who is SACRED, HOLY AND PURE and He only accepts that which is pure, We are reminding ourselves , what ever we present to Allah, it needs to be PURE, It needs to be SINCERE, SINCERTY IS THE PURITY OF ACTIONS
MALAAIKA- is plural The singular is ma la koon- one angel What are the 3 root letters? MEEM LAAM KAAF This is an interesting situation, the 3 root letters are NOT this HAMZA, LAAM KAAF! What the word A LA KA means WHEN THE HORSE BITES DOWN ON THE REIGNS, when does a horse bite down on reins? WHEN ITS RUNNING REALLY FAST. THIS IS talking about angels because angels are like messengers (not like prophets) they run errands, they are given tasks and they are focused on it. “Allah has made angels as messengers” –Angels are sent on errands Who do you want for you to do errands? The guy running 25 mph, gets coffee, stops once in a while is that the guy you want? Or the guys who zips every and shows up and DONE One thing you need to understand that ARABIC HAS IMAGERY, VERY VIVID LANGUAGE, WORDS HAVE IMAGERY
These people on their horses are RUNNING FAST THIS is the root of the word
We need to understand this word better To understand word we need to look at a derivate
RAA HA- means rest, comfort TA RA WEEH- the break we take after 4 its called TARWWEHA MIR WA HA- fan REEH- refers to cool morning breeze, its nice, comforting ISTI raa ha- ROOH- it means go you’re annoying - be gone, give me peace, leave so I can be at peace
When the soul leaves body its becomes STIFF ROOH is the soul but here’s something interesting JIBRILL the angel is also been given the title of AR-ROOH, why? What did gibral bring down with him? The DIVINE revelation , wahi, from Allah, and that is what brings peace, comfort, and ease to the minds and hearts of the people. He is called ROOH When ever the word rooh is being used in conjunction with the word malaakia, it is referring to JIBREIIL SO WE KNOW ITS NOT TALKING ABOUT SOUL, ITS TALKING ABOUT JIBREALL He is sacred, the Lord and master of the angels AND JIBRIAL. Why mention him separately? The Quran mentions him separately as well- because JIBREAL is SYMBOLIC of one of the GREATEST creations of Allah. When Prophet pbuh saw him, jibrael’s feet was all the way down into the earth, his head was into the heavens He had 600 wings, when he opened one it covered the entire east, and when he opened the other it covered the entire west. How amazing he is, think how amazing HIS LORD is! EXTENDED DHIKR IN RUKU (2) Top of page 14 SUBHANA- how amazing absolutely perfect Allah is DHI- it means the possessor of, the one in possession of AL JABROOT- this comes from root JABR which means to APPLY PRESSURE to something in order to CORRECT.It. to fix it. Look at derivatives JABEERA- means SPLINT, or cast, when you break arm or leg, they put splint, because the point of the splint is to apply pressure to allow it to heal properly FARASOON, JIBAAROON- when a horse runs, its running fast and STRICKING the earth very hard. Its doing it because its being told to do it, its needed in order to run quickly. TAJBEERUN AL A DHAAM- JA BA RIYA- a deviant sect, they believe everything is predestined, and that we cant do ANYthing. No point in even trying to be good! We are being FORCED into a direction TAJNEED ALJIBAARI – forced to enlist in army
similar to MAALIK Malik is the one who has OWNERSHIP This idea of OWNERSHIP is a very important concept This answers a lot of those fundamental questions What it implies is ALLAH is MAALIK, he has complete ownership What is our role? We are ABD, we are the slaves Slave means you are the PROPERTY of someone else, You are like a piece of furniture, possession, YOU ARE OWNED by someone When you own something, Say my phone, I own, it, no matter what it is If I smash my phone, no one can tell me I can’t do it. I can do what ever I want with it That is our relationship with Allah WE ARE OWNED BY HIM HE CAN DO WITH US WHAT EVER HE WANTS, ANYTHING HE WANTS When you realize that, when that really sinks in It changes your perspective on life You then come to realize WE HAVE NO ROOM TO COMPLAIN, we are owned WE NEED TO BE GRATEFUL, we aren’t entitled to anything , we have no rights, we cant demand anything BUT YET LOOK AT HOW MUCH HE GIVES US, HOW NICE HE HIS, HOW MERICFUL HE IS, HE DOESN’T HAVE TO BE SO MERCIFUL! YET HE IS
Another rule of thumb in Arabic language- “When you increase letters in a word, when you develop a word, you increase the MEANING of the word. If kabeer means greater than, KIBRiya means MANIFEST GREATNESS. Greatness that cannot be ignored, greatness that cannot be denied. Statements by Bedouins/Arabic poets “In each and everything there is a miraculous sign that points you to the fact that Allah is one” Muslim Bedouin Whats your evidence for believing in Allah? “he said look, the camel dropping tells you what? A camel was here Footprints in sand, what does that tell you? Someone was here This is entire earth full of trees The sky full of stars, the moon and the sun The ocean full of waves Doesn’t this tell you that Allah is there? Doesn’t this make you realize this? Hadith Prophet pbuh was walking by and he saw a Bedouin man was supplicating dua The Prophet stopped to listen to see what they learned (he was a student) Bedouin said “O you whose eye cant see you, mind cannot comprehend your greatness, people cannot praise you like you should be praised, the incidence that occurs does NOT change you, you are the initiator of change, You do not fear the tribulations of time, Allah knows the exact weight of the mountains of the world Allah knows the exact value of the oceans of world, Allah knows the exacts drops of rain in the sky, leaves of trees in the world, ALLAH knows exact details of everything the day illuminates with light and the darkness.
One ground cannot hide another ground from Allah A mountain in its deepest darkness cave cannot hide anything form Allah The depth of the ocean cannot hide anything form Allah LOOK HOWTHEY WITNESSED THE GREATNESS OF ALLAH ALLAH teaches us about IMAAN, we discuss aqeedah, but we don’t discus imaan. The way Quran teaches you imaan, look at the BEUTIFULL SKY LOOK AT THE CREATION OF THE CAMEL LOOK AT THE SKY HOW ITS BEEN RAISED ABOVE OUR HEADS LOOK AT THE MOUNTAINS, HUGE COLLASAL MOUNTAINS LOOK AT HOW ALLAH SPREAD THE EARTH BENEATH FEET LOOK AT THE COW- WITHIN THE COW YOU HAVE WAIST, THE BLOOD , AND RIGHT BETWEEN THE TWO YOU GET MILK! LOOK AT YOURSELVES, DON’T YOU SEE, DON’T YOU REALIZE,
Look at the creation that grows around you, the different colors Teacher took family tothe botanical gardens, subhanAllah, the same soil, same water, same sun light, The leaves of the trees are white. THIS IS HOW WE LEARN IMAAN, this is what we need to teach our children
Middle of page 14 After this we stand up from ruku What do we say? SAMIALLAH HULLIMANHAMIDYAH SAMIALLAH –it MEANS to HEAR But when talking about Allah or in general, SAMI A can also mean TO LISTEN To listen is AN ACT, hearing is an ability. SAMI A can mean heard, and listen Listening to someone is indicative of ACCEPTANCE. He listened to me, he let me speak, he accepted. So in the case of Allah, Allah hears all, so in this case, Allah heard, Allah listened, ALLAH ACCEPTED LI- for MANN- the one who HAMEEDAH- Him. (Allah) Means HE PRASIED HIM ALLAH ACCEPTED FROM THE ONE WHO PRAISED HIM Battery died EXTENDED DHIKR GETTING UP FROM RUKU 1/3 missed RABANA WALAKAL HAMD OUR CONNECTION WITH THE PROPHET (SAW) We know OF the Prophet pbuh, but we haven’t fallen in LOVE with the prophet. We are not transferring the love of the prophet to our children. There is a growing problem about the STATUS of the Prophet pbuh! There is a main stream discussion- “Do we have to follow the sunnah?”, people treat it like an intellectual problem, its NOT it’s a spiritual problem, a problem of the heart. If a person KNEW WHO THE PROPHET WAS, they would NEVER bring up this question. It’s a HUGE need to KNOW the Prophet (SAW) and TRANSFER THAT LOVE to our children There are more attacks on the Prophet (Saw) then EVER in the history of ISLAM. You will find books upon books against the Prophet (saw), it wasn’t like this in the past, We have to point the fingers AT OURSELVES FIRST What information have we shared with the world? WHAT DO WE KNOW, CAN WE TALK ABOUT HIM ? HIS LIFE? Do we have the knowledge and familiarity to talk about and represent the Prophet? No
And people called him ABTAR (the one who has no legacy, nothing to continue) The reason Allah named the fountain kauthar,”…they say you have nothing, I SAY YOU HAVE A LOT” Think, how many people named Muhammad? Whenever we hear his name, we send salaam on him. Millions of people all over the world, send peace and blessings on him many times in the day
TAYIB- root is appealing, attractive It can manifest itself sometimes as something is beautiful, pure, good, all different uses for it When something is attractive or appealing it is tayib Allah uses it in conjunction with the word HALAL
Allah uses it when making TAYUMMum “tayamum saqqedan tayiban” Allah describes it as TAYIBAN, this is beautiful, its an act of obedience, ibaadah, devotion, dedication. If you were to describe to someone how we cut an animal, what would they say? Thats disgusting, blood flowing, but Allah describes this as tayib, all you have to do to understand how amazing this is by looking at how they kill animals in an unislamic way, in non halal plants
The Prophet (saw) called it something beautiful This is cleanliness
They would time them to a pole, for days, people would abuse them Abu jahal grabbed his mother and held a spear over her Father died Prophet (saw) told Ammar ibn Yasir to go to Madina The Prophet (saw) would walk by with tears When you sacrifice, ALLAH guides to you to what is best. Ammar ibn Yaser went to Kooba and built a masjid The Prophet (saw) called him TAYYIB-someone who is attractive and beautiful from his life. It was used when the Prophet passed away, He passed away early afternoon 10,11am Abu Bakr (ra) found out that the Prophet passed away “You were beautiful when you were alive and beautiful when you are dead”
Samilahumimanhamidah You can add on
KATHEERAN TAYIBAN MUBARAKAN- comes from root word Baraqah, its means MOST BLESSED. FEE HEE- in it HAMDAN- praise KATHEERAN- abundant Tayibann- that which is beautiful Mubarakan- that which is FULL of blessings The praise of Allah is how we achieve and receive the blessings of Allah in our lives We notice the sound “AN AN AN AN” , sound repeating, what is this an? If you know little beginner Arabic grammar, its called MAFOOL MUTLAK, When you want to emphasize something, you want to display emotion, what do you have at the end EXCLAMATION MARK! Its how you express emotion In arabic, there is no exclamation mark, THIS IS THE EXCLAMATION MARK, THIS AN AN AN AN HAMDAN! KATHIEERAAN! TAYIBAN! MUBARAN!
It shows emotion EXTENDED DHIKR GETTING UP FROM RUKU 3/3 Last extra thing we can say while standing up from ruku Some languages when you translate from one language to another, the sentence order gets reversed so it gets confusing when you do word to word.
Filled with what? PRAISE! WA MA- this ma is not negation, it means ALL THAT BAYNA-between HUMAA- both of them (sky and earth) MAY THE HEAVENS BE FILLED WITH THE REPASIE OF ALLAH, MAY THE EARTH BE FILLED BE FILLED PRAISE OF ALLAH, AND ALL THAT BETWEEN THEM! AND ANYTHING ELES BEYOND THAT, THAT YOU WISH, MAY ALSO BE FILLED! MA- that which SHI’TA- all that you will (what you will) MIN-from SHAYIN- anything BA’DU- after that AND MAY ALL THAT THAT YOU WILL BE FILLED FROM ANYTHING ELSE BEYOND 3.03 Sujud Middle of page 15 What do we say
is
who is
Whats the most noble, reputable part of our body? THE FACE In sujood, we put our face to the ground, the place where we put our feet The LOWEST POSITION WE HUMBLE OURSELVES, The lowest, most humiliating position, we say ALLAH is MOST HIGH Unfortunately nowadays how do we say the above? WE JUST MERGE EVERTTHING TOGETHER, how sad and pathetic, IT MEANS NOTHING!! IN ARABIC IT MEANS NOTHING, WE NEED TO SAY IT PROPERLY FIRST THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL WORDS OF PRAISE THINK ABOUT IT, HOW ABSOLOUTLY AMAZING AND PERFECT IS ALLAH AND HOW FLAWED AM I, HOW MISTAKE PROWN AM I HE IS MY LORD AND MASTER HE IS MY MASTER I AM HIS SLAVE I AM THE LOWEST OF THE LOW HE IS THEHIGHEST OF HIGH YOU THINK ABOUT IT SAYING IT 3 TIMES SHOULD TAKE A MINUTE
We have concepts, we know ALLAH is the highest, Allah is perfect We all know that We have concepts and ideas Then we have certain words SubhanAllah, Allahuakbar, but we don’t connect the two!!! THIS IS HOW, this is biggest secret on how to stop your mind from wandering, how to stop losing focus in prayer Now that you say subhanarabiyalalla, its MEANS SOMEHING PG 13 We learned tasbih of ruku Subhanarabial adheem Then we learned extra Subuhun qudusun…
Top of page 16 3.04 SUPPLICATION BETWEEN THE SUJUD Between the 2 sujoods there is a sitting position. In that sitting there is a beautiful supplication ALLUMA- O Allah IGHFIRLEE- this is 3 different words
GHAFEER- a HUGE crowd of people. Like aerial shot of hajj. Can you see the ground? No, All you see is people, they cover the ground. IGHFIR HOO LISOOWAT- GHA FA RA means to cover. We know its means forgiveness but it means a specific type of forgiveness. It means a type of forgiveness that also COVERS the sin. As IF IT NEVER HAPPENED, NOBODY SEES IT. AS IF IT NEVER HAPPENED. IT’S GONE! IGHFIRLEE,
LEE-me
There is a connection between forgiveness and mercy (we will learn tomorrow) WAHDINEE- WAH-AND IHDINEE- GUIDEME O ALLAH FORGIVE ME, HAVE MERCY ON ME, AND GUIDE ME WAJBOORNI- JABR- to apply pressure, to correct, FIX ME! WE DON’T ASK FOR DIFFUCLTY BUT WHEN DIFFICULTY DOES COME UPON US its important to understand any limited amount of difficulty we deal with in this life is MUCHHHH better than the difficulty of the next life. That’s why people get difficulties in this life Difficulty is a BLESSING FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE, ITS A BLESSING, IT REMOVES OUR SINS, We shouldn’t whine and complain, we don’t ask for difficulty. We ask for AAFINI AAFI- comes from afoo means TO OVERLOOK SOMETHING, TO DISREGARD SOMETHING To remove hardship, away from me, free me from difficulty, make it easy for me
Oorkook- comes from root word RIZQ, (means sustenance) Oorzook means GIVE SUSTANANCE PROVIDE FOR ME SUSTINANCE ME WA RA FA’NI COMES FROM WORD RA FA ‘A which means to RAISE ME Raise my status! WE HAVE AMBITION IN DUNYA, ITS IMPORTANT TO HAVE AMBITION IN DEEN! Not only make us righteous, make us THE LEADERS of the righteous MAKE US THE MOST PIOUS OF THE PIOUS THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF JANNAH This is not arrogance, wanting to be THE BEST OF THE BEST WORD RIZQ IN QURAN RIZQ- the word rizq in the Quran used in a very interesting way INSERT QURANIC AYAH Allah tell us WAKHTILAFILAYLIWANAHAAR “And that which Allah has sent down, from the sky, “ What does Allah send down from the sky? RAIN From sustenance. , Allah substitutes word RIZQ for rain. Why?
What are some qualities of rain? YOU CANT 100% PREDICT RAIN NO ONE CAN CONTROL IT There is a lesson in this! Rizq NO ONE CAN ABSOLUTELY GAURANTEE/PREDICT, YOU GO OUT THERE YOU PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD, YOU CANNOT PREDIT ICT! ITS IN HANDS OF ALLAH AND YOU CANT CONTROL YOU RIZQ! ITS IN THE HANDS OF ALLAH!!! This is lesson about word rizq and how Allah uses it in the Quran WARA FA’NI Lets look at derivates RAFATUL ATHQAAL- means lifting weights RA FEE AH- refers to when a case is taken up to a superior court TARFEE’ means a raise, or promotion, MIRF’A’ an escalator, or elevator, something that raises you up Hadith marfoo’ In hadith studies, there is certain hadith that is classified as marfoo’ , When hadith reaches all the way to Prophet (saw), its called this AR RAF’A- refers to STATUS, how does word go from nasr to rafa. Whats the highest level status? RAF’A that’s the highest status (rafa nasrjar) Yüklə 405,54 Kb. Dostları ilə paylaş:
