Salah: The Programming Towards Righteousness


Did you ever wonder why, at the exact moment when you stand for prayer, you wonder where you left your car keys? or, going into Ruku', you realize you haven't trimmed your toenails in a while? Seems silly, but this problem plagues the Ummah. Why? Basically, human beings have way more control over their physical bodies than their minds. It is very possible for us to complete the physical act of prayer perfectly while our minds wander. What, then, is the solution? Dr. Zakir Naik shows how filling one's mind with the understanding of the Quran as well as memorizing more of the Quran will lead to a better control during prayer. Most Muslims recite the same surahs over and over, and do so in a mechanical fashion. They repeat the ayah without having to think about what they are saying, let alone understanding the meaning. Muslims must learn how to program their minds to be conscious of every word uttered in Salah. After all, Salah is more than merely a form of physical exercise.



If the Label shows your Intent: Wear it!


We all know that Muslims are "labeled" in one way or another. In this lecture, however, the speaker touches upon a whole new dimension of labels: How one Muslim recognizes another. Is it the duty of each Muslim to be recognizable to his fellow brothers and sisters in Islam? Is it fardh to dress in a manner in which one can be recognized as a Muslim? And how, exactly, should one react when he or she does recognize that another Muslim is in the vicinity? Finally, what are the Islamic greetings, anyway?



Al-Quran: Should It Be Read With Understanding?


The Holy Qur'an is the final revelation of Allah- a proclamation to all of humanity. It is full of wisdom, a warning to the heedless, a solace to the suffering, and a hope to those in despair. In short, The Holy Qur'an is a guidance for all of mankind. Now ask yourself a question: is it possible to derive all these blessings and insights from the Qur'an without actually understanding the meaning or implementing its rulings? Yet this is the position of so many Muslims today. Dr. Zakir Naik explains why it is compulsory for mankind to read the Qur'an with understanding.
