Muhammadur Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa ala alihi wa sahbih. Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. My brothers and sisters, Alhamdulillah. We worship Allah and we worship only Allah. And that is the essence of the Uhid, the essence of Islam. And we do that in the way of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. If anyone invents a different way of Salah, that way is rejected. It is not accepted by Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. The only way of Salah that Allah accepts is the way Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam prayed. The same thing applies to everything which is connected with Salah. For example, the only way of preparing yourself for Salah with Udu is the way that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did Udu. We cannot do Udu in our own way. For example, you cannot say, well, I will wash my feet first and after that I will wash my face. I am washing my face, I am washing my feet. What does it matter if the order is reversed? It matters if Udu would be invalid. Because the order, Tarteem, is part, is the Rukur of the Udu. It's part of the Udu. If you do the Tarteem, if you keep the order of the Udu, if you change it, the Udu is invalid. You have to repeat it. So also, with regard to the Adhaan and Iqama, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us, he said that even if you are alone on a hillside, there is nobody there. At the time of Salah, he said, call the Adhaan and then make the Iqama and make Salah. He might say, there is nobody here. If I call, who will come? That's not the point. This is the way in which we pray. We call the Adhaan, then we call the Iqama, then we start the Salah. Whether you are alone, whether people are there with you, not with you, doesn't matter. So how is this Adhaan to be done and how is the Iqama to be done? Salah, of course, we know. Again, same rule. It is to be done the way that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught us. We know the Hadith regarding the Adhaan. The Sahabi heard, in his dream he saw, and he heard the words of the Adhaan. He came to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said, Ya Rasulullah, this is the dream I had, that I saw these two people and these two people were Malaika. And this is how they were advising about the Adhaan. And these are the words. And then Sayyidina Omar also came at the same time and he said, Ya Rasulullah, I saw the same dream, the same words. And Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, yes, this is the way, do it. And then he said, call Sayyidina Bilal bin Rabaa Radiyallahu Anhu. And he said, ask him to call the Adhaan because he has a powerful voice. Even though the people who saw the dream were somebody else, other people, Sayyidina Bilal didn't see the dream. But Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam asked Sayyidina Bilal Radiyallahu Anhu to call the Adhaan. Now, I'm saying this because it's very important to do it correctly. Okay. Because Arabic is not our language. And so when we call the Adhaan, same thing applies in Salah or in recitation of Quran. We have to actually learn the Tajweed. Tajweed is the method of pronunciation. Because same thing, if you mispronounce it, the worst case scenario, it can completely change the meaning of what you are saying. If that happens in Salah, it can make your Salah invalid. If you are the Imam and you make that mistake, it makes everybody Salah invalid. If the same thing happens in Adhaan or if it happens in Iqamah, again it will not make your Salah invalid, but it makes the Adhaan bad and the Iqamah bad. So, since Arabic is not our language, we must, even for the Arabs, we have to learn Tajweed. Tajweed is, just because you are Arab, it doesn't mean that you know automatically how to pronounce people. I have seen. Or Arabs also making lots of mistakes with regard to Tajweed. That's why Tajweed has to be learned. So, let me go through the Adhaan and Iqamah very quickly. Because Alhamdulillah, many of you, you call the Adhaan, you call the Iqamah, you like to do that. And there is great khair in this. Prophet ﷺ said, race with each other to call the Adhaan. Because it's a matter of very great benefit to call the Adhaan, to call the Iqamah. And we ask Allah to give us the benefit. But we need to do it correctly. You are doing something of benefit and you do it wrongly, then it, you know, invalidates that. So, do it correctly. Now, I am going to focus on the mistakes that we, meaning people of Urdu speaking people, mistakes we make. I won't talk about the mistakes the Arabs make because there are no Arabs here. The mistakes that we make are of two kinds. One is, we mispronounce because in Urdu, we have the same alphabet, the same letters. But the talafuz, the pronunciation of the letters, there is a difference in Urdu and Arabic. In Arabic, every single letter has a different pronunciation. No two letters ...
