The essence of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah
0:09
Diligence in acts of worship and sincerity therein
0:14
Diligence in acts of worship with truthfulness and sincerity
0:20
This aids in completing worship in its comprehensive sense
0:24
Meaning that a person's entire life is for Allah
0:28
Acts of worship are not separate from social or ethical conduct in life
0:35
Rather, the connection between them is strong
0:37
And they are a person's provision on the path of comprehensive worship
0:41
For Allah, the Exalted, after commanding the wives of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
0:46
to remain in their homes
0:48
and forbidding them from the adornment of the former ignorance,
0:52
and these are matters of social conduct,
0:55
He commanded them to establish prayer and give zakat.
0:59
In this is an indication of the role of acts of worship
1:03
in aiding the performance of behavioral and ethical commands and its connection to them.
1:09
Allah, the Almighty, says:
1:11
“And stay in your houses. Bedizen not yourselves with the bedizenment of the Time of Ignorance. Be regular in prayer, and pay the poor-due, and obey Allah and His messenger. Allah's wish is but to remove uncleanness far from you, O Folk of the Household, and cleanse you with a thorough cleansing.” (33:33)
1:17
"And establish prayer and give zakat and obey Allah and His Messenger."
1:23
"And prayer forbids indecency and evil."
1:27
Allah, the Almighty, says:
1:29
"Establish prayer."
1:31
“Recite that which hath been inspired in thee of the Scripture, and establish worship. Lo! worship preserveth from lewdness and iniquity, but verily remembrance of Allah is more important. And Allah knoweth what ye do.” (29:45)
1:35
And the worship of calling to Allah
1:38
is aided by standing in prayer at night and reciting the Book of Allah.
1:42
Allah, the Almighty, says:
1:44
"O you who wraps himself [in garments],"
1:47
“Keep vigil the night long, save a little -” (73:2)
1:50
“A half thereof, or abate a little thereof” (73:3)
1:53
“Or add (a little) thereto - and chant the Qur'an in measure,” (73:4)
1:58
"Indeed, We will cast upon you a heavy word."
2:02
So, the preparation for the heavy word and the burden of the call
2:07
was standing in prayer at night and reciting the Qur'an.
