in the name of
Allah the
greatest the most
high my only one true
love today we engage in Salah but a lot
of us are guilty of just pecking the
ground like a little bird like a chicken
we just Peck the ground a few times and
we are out what did you do brother I
don't know you ask people who have
reverted to Islam they'll tell you I
don't understand this prayer because
nobody's ever tried to understand the
words you are saying my brothers and
sisters I challenge you and I call upon
you very strongly to make an effort to
understand the words you are saying in
Salah your life will change did you hear
what I
said come on we are living for 30 40 50
years how can I not yet know the words
of Salah that is an
embarrassment I don't know I'm standing
in front of my maker I know the words in
Arabic but I haven't understood their
meanings and I've been reading Salah for
the last 40 years that is an
embarrassment can I still call myself a
good Muslim allahar close your business
for one week and go and learn the
meanings of Salah it is far more
profitable than whatever you would make
for that week Allah abbar Allah abbar
and this is a challenge
this is why we are not happy this is why
we take a look at the smallest pin prick
that we have on our toes and we become
depressed because we haven't understood
Salah and Allah says in Surah Bak oh you
who believe seek assistance through
bearing patience and through your prayer
Allah is indeed with those who bear
patience how will we be able to seek
assistance through prayer when we don't
even know the words we are uttering we
don't know the meanings of what we are
saying in Salah believe me I have asked
the question to many Muslims brother do
you know the meanings of the words you
are reading in Salah and the majority
have said
no Allah abbar when are we going to
change that how can the condition of the
umah change when you are so many years
old you have studied your PhD you have
so many degrees and you are not
interested in trying to understand the
words that Allah subhanahu
has made incumbent upon you to repeat so
many times a day and we just fulfill
Salah without knowing what we did we
enter the Masjid we exit it in a
spiritual condition lower than when we
went in because to us we had our
cigarettes in our pockets and we went to
the Masjid so we can smoke with our
friends at the door of the House of
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and back bite
about the rest of the community may
Allah protect us that is our visit to
the house of Allah nowadays in some
instances yet you are visiting the house
of someone in your locality a rich
person a famous person you would want to
go to them and present something good to
them to say I've come to your house and
you know I know about you I know this
and I know that and this is your work
and this is what you've done and big
achievement and so on in order for them
to realize how close you are to them you
have understood and read and so much but
when it comes to Allah we enter his
house w we may be doing that we may even
be doing it five times a day
alhamdulillah but we have not yet
understood why we are going in or why we
have come out Allah abbar may Allah open
our doors the reason I am passionate
about this the solution to the disasters
we face today is connected to your
prayer your
Salah verse number 153 of Surah Bak
Allah says seek assistance through sa
and through Salah and good news to those
who bear Allah is definitely with them
Allah's assistance is with them and
Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala will always be
by their side may Allah subhanahu
wa'ta'ala be with us at all times and
may he really bless us and shower us
with his mercy and may he make us at
least motivated to go out to learn what
our Salah is all about when you know the
meanings of the words of your Salah you
will not want to stop and you will not
want to get your head off the ground
because now you know I am plugged in
with the one whom I'm going to return to
my ultimate aim of existence is to meet
him one day that's allb
