First question we have is brother Tanzel.

0:08.0

Brother Tanzil from Bangladesh, he emails and he asks that can he praise Salah in his own language. al-Nam mean kibnika ill arijalan no he

0:26.2

ila ihim

0:28.2

fas alu al-a la dikriim. And the response to this is that if by Salah you mean our daily Salahat, our five prayers Dohar Fajar,

0:47.0

Maghreb icha and Fajur, then in those Salahat must be performed, the Arkan, the Wajibat, the Dickar, the Doaz, well the Doaz we're going to come to them as a controversy with the Doaz, but the Quranic recitation and the Tikbirathram and the subharabil ala and subhara bale al-a and the tahyat and the sala Ibrahimia these must be done in Arabic and if somebody does not speak Arabic, they are required to learn those

1:16.4

phrases and that is why across the globe every single practicing Muslim

1:21.7

memorizes the Quran enough for them to read in the prayers and every

1:26.3

single Muslim memorizes these basic ad-car subháháháháháh, subháháháháháháh, Subhārab al-A al-Lah, you know, Sami al-N-Hāmāhādā, and all of these Athākādā are a part and parcel of our Salawat.

2:21.0

It is all permissible, no problem. The only area that there's a

2:25.0

controversy is making duas inside of Sala. As we said outside of Sala, there's no

2:30.6

controversy. Inside of Sala, once you finish the adkah, so for example in the

2:35.5

sujud you've said Subhah Rabil ala, now you are in Sajda. Can you then say,

2:40.9

oh, Allah, grant me the good of this this world oh Allah allow me to ace my exam

2:45.2

oh Allah grant me a righteous spouse oh Allah give me that job that I want can you make that
