 Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. And peace and blessings be upon the honour of the Prophet and the Messengers. Muhammad and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him and his family. And peace and blessings be upon him and his family. My brothers and sisters, the entire essence of Islam is collected in this very short ayat of Surah Al-Fatiha where Allah SWT said, إِيَّا كَنَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّا كَنَسْتَعِينَ The whole of Islam, everything in Islam is collected in these two phrases. إِيَّا كَنَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّا كَنَسْتَعِينَ We ask, we worship only you, Ya Rabb, and we ask help only from you. إِيَّا كَنَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّا كَنَسْتَعِينَ And this is the hadith of Rasulullah SAW also where he said, worship only Allah and do not join partners with Him. And do not ask anyone for anything. Don't ask anyone for anything. Ask Allah. Ask Allah SWT. If we take this and see, إِيَّا كَنَعْبُدُ that we worship only Allah SWT, the five pillars of Islam are collected in that. So when we say, أَشَهَدُوا لَا إِلَٰهِ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَشَهَدُوا أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ The Shahada, the first pillar, there is no one who is, joined with Allah in this. أَشَهَدُوا لَا إِلَٰهِ إِلَّا اللَّهُ I bear witness that there is no one worthy of worship except Allah. وَأَشَهَدُوا أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهُ And I bear witness that Muhammad SAW is the Rasul, is the Messenger of Allah, which means that I accept that there is nobody worthy of worship except Allah. And I worship Allah, in the way that Rasulullah SAW worshipped him. That is the meaning of أَشَهَدُوا أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهُ If you accept that Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى is worthy of worship, then how do you worship him? In the way of Rasulullah SAW. The way Rasulullah SAW worshipped Allah, I worship Allah. So if you take this and expand it and say, when you say the way, Rasulullah SAW worshipped Allah, it refers to Salah, it refers to Namaz, from the beginning to the end, all that is necessary before you come for Salah, which is Tahara and Wudu and so on. And then the Salah itself, what do you do, how do you make your Niyah, how do you do Takbeer, Taharima, after that what do you recite, after that Surah Al-Fatiha, what do you say, after that the next, after that the next, after that Surah Al-Fatiha, what do you do, Ruku, Sujood, everything. How do you do it? The way Rasulullah SAW did it. Which means that it is fard upon you to find out how he did it. Right? Because any other way of doing it is not acceptable before Allah SWT. This is the meaning of the verse, the way, this is the meaning of Ashtadhu Billahi Ilayh Illam, that I worship only Allah, how do I do that? The way Rasulullah SAW did it. Not the way my father did it, or I am doing it, or somebody else is doing it, or my Sheikh is doing it, or my teacher is doing it, or no. The way the Rasulullah SAW did it, and Allah SWT in His mercy caused every detail about Rasulullah SAW's life to be preserved. Everything. From the smallest detail to the largest detail. There is no one whose life is so completely preserved as the life of Rasulullah SAW. If you read Imam Tirmidhi's Shamailul Muhammadiyah, which is called Shamail-e-Tirmidhi, everything is described. Everything is described. Everything is described. How many grey or white hair were there in the blessed beard and the head of Rasulullah SAW is counted and measured. What was the, what, how were the soles of his feet? Can you imagine anybody to be described in that kind of detail? How did he clip his feet? How did he clip his feet? How did he clip his feet? How did he clip his feet? How did he clip his nails? From which finger did he start? Where did he end? And so on. So also is Salah. Everything. And that is why they say, they say both of these things. They say God is in the details, and they say the details are in the head. The devil is in the details. It's important for every single thing to be known, and to be practiced. For example, in Salah, the Rukun of the Salah, the pillar of the Salah, is Qiyam, is Ruku, is Sajda. Right? How you go into Ruku, is Sajda. How you go into Ruku, is also part of the Salah. How you are in Ruku, the position is also to be learnt, is also part of Salah. From Ruku, to completely stand up fully, Nabi said, stand up fully and stay there until the bones come to rest. So many times you see people pray, they go to Ruku, they just come up half way, and they go into Sajda. Some people literally die from Ruku into Sajda. Salah is invalid. Salah becomes invalid. And I don't make it up. There is a...
