00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:09.599
The essence of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:11.599
The great status of prayer

00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:16.070
Prayer is of great status.

00:00:16.070 --> 00:00:20.070
It is the second pillar of Islam after the two testimonies.

00:00:20.070 --> 00:00:23.070
And it is sufficient regarding its nobility and great status

00:00:23.070 --> 00:00:26.070
that it was ordained in the seventh heaven

00:00:26.070 --> 00:00:30.070
when the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, ascended.

00:00:30.070 --> 00:00:34.070
And it is the first thing the servant will be held accountable for on the Day of Resurrection.

00:00:34.070 --> 00:00:37.070
As the Prophet, peace be upon him, said:

00:00:37.070 --> 00:00:41.070
The first thing the servant will be held accountable for on the Day of Resurrection

00:00:41.070 --> 00:00:42.070
is prayer.

00:00:42.070 --> 00:00:45.070
If it is sound, all his other deeds will be sound.

00:00:45.070 --> 00:00:49.070
And if it is corrupt, all his other deeds will be corrupt.

00:00:49.070 --> 00:00:53.100
Narrated by al-Tabarani and authenticated by al-Albani.

00:00:53.100 --> 00:00:55.229
And the glorification of the status of prayer

00:00:55.229 --> 00:00:59.229
is from the glorification of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, who ordained it.

00:00:59.229 --> 00:01:03.229
And all its pillars are glorification of Allah, the Exalted.

00:01:03.229 --> 00:01:05.230
Starting with the takbir (saying Allahu Akbar),

00:01:05.230 --> 00:01:08.230
passing through the remembrances of bowing and prostration,

00:01:08.230 --> 00:01:11.230
and ending with the tashahhud.
