Have you ever been in a restaurant and it's time to pray? And you're with family, you're enjoying the food and the drinks, and you have to go to a room that's under construction to pray. Is this not Allah's way of reminding us that we should be grateful to Allah for the blessings he has given us?

00:00:00.280 Asalaamu alaykum guys, I hope you guys are well inshaAllah. So just a quick reminder inshaAllah.
00:00:04.120 So I'm going to tell you guys where I am. As you can see it's full of under construction.
00:00:09.360 Have you guys ever been in a restaurant and it's time to pray salah? Don't turn off, listen carefully.
00:00:14.800 And you're like, ah man, you're with family, you're enjoying yourself, the food is amazing, you're drinking orange juice and all this kind of stuff.
00:00:21.080 And you have to pray salah, it's salah time. And some people hate it, dislike it. For some people, you have to do it.
00:00:28.800 I want you guys just to imagine, because whenever I'm in restaurants, I like to reflect.
00:00:33.180 And I look around and I'm like, everyone's enjoying delicious food. Wow.
00:00:36.320 You look at people, look at each other. Wow, have you tried that chicken wing? Have you tried this? Have you tried that?
00:00:40.300 And everyone's eating. But for a moment, just think to yourself, subhanAllah, look how we're enjoying the blessings Allah has given us.
00:00:47.080 We're eating it. But when it's time for salah, ah man, nah, forget that.
00:00:53.120 Just think for a second. If this is not ingratitude, and Allah says in the Quran,
00:00:57.940 Indeed, mankind is ungrateful to his Lord, and he himself is a witness. Nobody else, you yourself as a witness to that.
00:01:05.540 Brothers and sisters, I had to pray. And I'm not doing this to sound holy.
00:01:08.940 The fact that you guys might think I'm trying to show off or be holy, shows the level we're at as Muslims, subhanAllah. 0.73
00:01:14.140 Praying salah is the basis of the basis that we should be doing. 0.97
00:01:17.420 I had to find the spot, and I had to come to this room that's under construction.
00:01:20.800 Obviously, I made sure it's safe. But I came, and I had to pray.
00:01:25.700 And today, I wasn't wearing my socks to even wipe over the socks.
00:01:28.340 The point is that following brothers and sisters, be grateful to Allah, subhanAllah.
00:01:31.780 We worship Allah not because of what he does for us, but because of who he is, and he's deserving of it.
00:01:37.640 Do not miss your salah for anything.
00:01:39.720 And ponder the food that you're eating, the blessings that you have, when you sat at that table, you enjoyed it, go thank your Lord.
00:01:48.940 Just a little reminder, till next time.
00:01:50.500 As-salamu alaykum wa alaykum wa alaykum wa alaykum wa barakatuhu.
00:01:52.360 May Allah make us, all of us, amongst those who are firm with the salah and don't even miss once, not even once.
00:01:58.620 May Allah bless you guys. Till next time.
00:02:00.500 Goodbye.
