And peace and blessings be upon the most righteous of the prophets and messengers, Muhammad and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him and his family. And many thanks and blessings. My brothers and sisters, it's very important. There seem to be small mistakes, but they are not small mistakes. They can, in some cases, they can invalidate your salah. In some cases, there is no salah. So be careful with that. Now, let's start with the saf. Formation of the lines. It's extremely important to form the lines shoulder to shoulder. Actually, touch the shoulder to shoulder. And when you stand, stand in a way where you touch the shoulder to shoulder. And then only your feet. Sometimes people stand with their feet so wide apart that the shoulder cannot touch. And in trying to touch the feet, they stamp the foot of the other person. Don't do this. Shoulder to shoulder. Then the feet should be at the level of the shoulders. If you touch the other person, you can't do it. But don't try. Don't try to push your foot and stand like this. No. Complete the saf. Second thing is complete one saf and then go to the next saf. So if there is some gap or there is some space at the end of the saf, make sure you fill that space. Only if there is space, then you go to the rest. Third thing is when you form any saf, the second saf, third saf, start in the middle. Behind the imam. Don't stand in one corner. Whether you are sitting on a chair, stand in the mat. Stand behind the imam. Start from there. And then fill up the saf as far as possible equally on both sides. Don't go and stand in one corner. Right? It's very important to remember that. Fourth thing is when you come and join and the imam has already started this allied praying. When you join, say for example you are joining in ruku or you are joining in qiyam or sujood. First thing is immediately join. Don't stand waiting there. Many times people are in sujood, they stand and wait to see, let him stand up. No. Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam specifically prohibited. He said, maybe Allah has kept your forgiveness in that sajdah. Don't be lazy. Trying to avoid one sajdah less. No. Go down and immediately join. Number one. Number two, when you join, it is the rukun of salah that you say Allahu Akbar. Simply moving your hand like this is like, you know, driving away flies or something. No. Just this. No. Raising your hand is mustahab. If you do that, very... Very good. If you don't do that also, salah is valid. You must say Allahu Akbar. Not necessarily loudly, but say Allahu Akbar. Without saying Allahu Akbar, if you simply do this and going to ruku, your salah has not even started. You are not in salah. You're doing some exercise. So please don't do that. Make sure you say the salah begins with the Allahu Akbar. With the takbiratul ihram. So very, very important. Start with say Allahu Akbar. And then you join the salah and then you follow the Imam as the Imam is doing. Inshallah. Right? Now in terms of adhan, many mistakes that people make, especially people from our part of the world, from the Indo-India, Indo-Pakistan area, we say Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. In the Arabic language, the dhamma, in Urdu we say pesh. The dhamma is the condition of every word last ends with u. Muhammadu, Allahu. Unless there is a reason why it changes to something else. So therefore, when you are joining the two, suppose you say Allahu Akbar and you stop, then you say Allahu Akbar. That's no problem. You can do that. But if you are joining Allahu Akbar with Allahu Akbar, you must say Allahu Akbarun, Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbaru, Allahu Akbarun, Allahu Akbar. Not Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. That is wrong. Right? So don't do that. Very common mistakes. Each, each area, which whether it's Arab or not, it doesn't matter. People have what we call in the Arabic language ...
