talking 00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:52.120 Slandering those who neglect prayer 00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:57.120 They are described as being keen on something contemptible, such as something that has been

00:04:20.139 It is permissible to take people who commit crimes as they wish 00:04:20.139 --> 00:04:24.139 Because, may God bless him and grant him peace, they are concerned with that 00:04:24.139 --> 00:04:29.139 At a time when he was entrusted with preoccupation with congregational prayer 00:04:29.139 --> 00:04:36.560 He wanted to surprise them at a time when they expected that no one would come to them 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:42.560 In the context, he feels that he has advanced his words by rebuking them from being backward 00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:46.170 So he deserved the threat already 00:04:46.170 --> 00:04:50.620 It is permissible to kill someone who abandons prayer out of negligence 00:04:50.620 --> 00:04:55.000 Excuses make it permissible to be left behind from the group

00:05:49.459 Even if you prayed in your homes as this retarded person prays in his home 00:05:49.459 --> 00:05:52.459 You would have abandoned the Sunnah of your Prophet 00:05:52.459 --> 00:05:56.459

00:06:16.009 --> 00:06:22.009 The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, taught us the laws of guidance 00:06:22.009 --> 00:06:28.009 Among the Sunnahs of guidance is prayer in the mosque in which the call to prayer is given 00:06:33.100 --> 00:06:35.800 One of the benefits of talking 00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:39.220 Maintaining prayers on time 00:06:39.220 --> 00:06:43.220 It is the Sunnah of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace 00:06:43.220 --> 00:06:50.220 Attending it as a group is considered an obligation on those who are able to attend the group 00:06:50.220 --> 00:06:54.730 The obligatory prayers have specific times 00:06:54.730 --> 00:06:56.730 As God Almighty said 00:06:56.730 --> 00:07:01.730 Prayer was prescribed for the believers at a

bless him and grant him peace 00:07:12.209 --> 00:07:17.620 Negligence in the Sunnah of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and his guidance 00:07:17.620 --> 00:07:19.620 It is pure delusion 00:07:19.620 --> 00:07:23.620 Departing from the guidance of Muhammad’s prophecy 00:07:23.620 --> 00:07:28.170 This is because God’s religion is an indivisible whole 00:07:28.170 --> 00:07:34.170 Only a hypocrite with known hypocrisy will miss congregational prayer 00:07:34.170 --> 00:07:37.620 The Companions, may God be pleased with them 00:07:37.620 --> 00:07:41.620 They were very keen to adhere to the guidance of prophecy 00:07:41.620 --> 00:07:44.620 And do not waste the reward and groups 00:07:44.620 --> 00:07:51.000 The people of Islam cooperated among themselves in obedience to God Almighty 00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:55.480 The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, only died 00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:58.480 He has completed for them the explanation of the

iqamah are obligatory for congregational prayer 00:08:55.179 --> 00:09:00.600 Satan takes possession of those who are heedless of obedience and worship 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:06.600 Good luck on congregational prayer because congregational prayers help in obedience 00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:09.919 Satan cannot control the group 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:15.919 Rather, people are destroyed by being alone with them and by being separated from their brothers 00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:23.769 Chapter on encouraging congregational attendance in the morning and evening hours 00:09:23.769 --> 00:09:28.980

--> 00:10:08.720 Whoever prays the evening and dawn prayers in congregation 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:11.720 It was like a night's sleep for him 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:15.059 One of the benefits of

lethargy and an evil spirit 00:11:46.889 --> 00:11:49.889 That is why God described them by saying: 00:11:49.889 --> 00:11:53.889 And when they stand up to pray, they stand up lazily 00:11:53.889 --> 00:11:59.889 They show off to people and do not mention God except a little 00:11:59.889 --> 00:12:04.590 Riyadh Al-Salehin
