Alhamdulillah. Asalam alalaykum. Peace
be with you. I'm Eddie and we over at
the Dean Show, we decided to put
together a very basic how to pray video.
This is going to help you establish
second pillar of Islam. You've already
made the shahada. You've testified that
there's no god. There's no deity worthy
of worship except the creator of the
heavens and the earth, Allah. and that
Muhammad is his slave servant and last
and final messenger. Now you're ready to
implement proved by actions that you
mean what you say. And one of those most
important pillars is the
prayer. The evolution will begin with
the intention. You want to clear your
heart and your mind and focus purely to
perfect the evolution to please your
Lord because you're going to be praying
to him. And we start with bismillah in
the name of God Allah. Now we'll start
with the
hands. You will go ahead and rinse and
wash both your hands three times
starting with the right. We always start
with the right side
first. From there you'll go on to rinse
your mouth three times.
Next, we'll move along to the nose.
You'll get some water up in there with
the right hand and then blow it out with
your
left. We'll move along now to the face.
You go ahead and wash your
face. Make sure you're getting the whole
complete
face. Once you've completed the face,
we'll move along to the beard. You run
your fingers through your
beard. From there, we'll go along to the
forearms all the way up to just about
the elbows. above the elbows. You want
to make sure you're getting
water on your
forearms. Starting with the right,
moving along to the
left. Next, we'll move along to wiping
the head as you see here.
Next, you'll use your two index fingers
to clean inside and behind your
ears. Move along to the feet. Start with
the right foot. Clean in between the
toes with your little finger and make
sure you clean your feet up until your
ankles.
Start with your right and then move
along to the
left. Wow. And that was it. Easy, wasn't
it? Now you recite.
[Music]
The meaning of which is I testify, I
swear that there is no God except Allah,
the one who has no partners and that
Muhammad is his slave and messenger and
you're ready to stand in front of the
creator of the heavens and earth.
Now these are the names of the prayers
and the units, the times of the day and
the units that one is required to pray.
As I said earlier, one of the main
reasons we made this video is to help
get you on your feet and to show you how
easy it is, no matter where you're at,
you can establish the second pillar of
Islam, the salah, the
prayer. Now, the prayer is something
wonderful. gives you a chance to connect
with your creator. And he's made it
simple. You can be walking through the
park on one beautiful sunny day and you
look at your watch and it's time to
pray. It's time to make the prayer. It's
encouraged to pray in the masid in the
mosque. But if you can't make it at that
time and it's time to pray, as long as
the area is clean, you can go ahead and
make that prayer.
You can be out having a
nice run, jogging through the park, and
you see that it's time to make the
prayer. It's time to make the prayer.
You can make the
prayer. You can be driving in your
car and you look again and the time has
come. It's time to make the prayer. It's
time to make the prayer. There is no
excuse for a person who's seeking the
pleasure of the one God. There is no
excuse for that person to miss the
prayer
[Music]
[Applause]
salah. You can also be at your place of
employment. And now it's time to pray.
You look at your watch and it's time to
make the salat. You can collaborate with
your coworker and you guys can pray
together,
too. There's no excuse to miss the
prayer. It's that
simple. It's that easy. You can be in
the park. You can be out for an
afternoon run. You can collaborate at
work with your coworker and pray
together to the one who created you.
There's no excuse to miss the
prayer. Now, we're going to be going
over some basic movements, postures, and
details of the
prayer. Again, these are just a few of
the basics that you need to be aware of.
And in no way does this substitute a
live
teacher. So notice here you're going to
be lifting your hands up to the side.
You want to make sure that you have your
right hand on top of your left wrist.
making sure your eyesight is fixed to
where you're going to be
prostrating. When you finish reciting,
you'll go to the next position where
you'll have your hands on your knees and
you want to make sure as you see the
line that your back is straight. Here
I'm bent over too much. So you want to
make sure that your back and head is
lined up straight.
From this position, you're going to come
back up. Then you will go ahead and
prepare to
prostrate. You'll be learning all the
different recitations in the next coming
clips. As you prostrate, make sure that
your forehead, your nose, your beard,
everything is submitting itself. Your
elbows are out to the side. Between
every unit of prayer, there are two
prostrations. So when you come up,
you'll come back down. Don't worry, you
do the best that you can. I also myself
have bad knees. So you do and you sit
back to the best of your ability. Now
when you're about to stand, you'll
clench your fists and lean your weight
forward so you can easily stand up.
Another detail is when you've completed
the two units of prayer or three or four
and you're ready to exit out of prayer,
you'll have something also that is
recited along with raising of the one
finger knowing that there is only one
God.
Next on the simple details and basics of
helping you through the prayer. When
you're exiting the prayer, you will
salam to the right and to the left.
You'll also learn what to say in the up
andcoming
clips. Now, we're going to put it all
together. Everything you learn in the
basics, we're going to go ahead and
implement them as we do two units of
prayer, two rakats. And we're also going
to show you what to say in every
different posture and
position. Allah abar.
