The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
He (may Allah have mercy on him) said, regarding the hadiths he mentioned in the chapter on the obligation of sincere advice, from Jarir ibn Abdullah al-Bajali (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:Sahih al-Bukhari 1401 These are three things: a pure right belonging to Allah, a pure right belonging to the human being, and a shared right. As for the pure right belonging to Allah, it is his statement: The meaning of is that a person performs them correctly in the required manner, maintaining them at their times, fulfilling their pillars, obligations, and conditions, and completing them with their recommended practices. Among this, for men, is establishing prayer in congregation in the mosques with the congregation. Indeed, this is part of establishing prayer. Whoever misses the congregation without an excuse is sinful. In fact, according to some scholars, such as Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him), if he prays without an excuse without the congregation, his prayer is invalid and rejected, not accepted from him. However, the majority, and this is the correct view, is that it is valid despite the sin. This is the correct view: that whoever leaves the congregational prayer without an excuse, his prayer is valid, but he is sinful. This is the stronger opinion and the well-known view in the madhhab of Imam Ahmad, and it is the view of the majority of those who said that congregational prayer is obligatory. And among establishing the congregation is establishing the prayer: humility in it. Humility is the presence of the heart and its contemplation of what the worshipper says and does. It is a matter of great importance, for prayer without humility is like a body without a soul. If you pray and your heart wanders in every valley, you are only performing physical movements. But if your heart is present, you feel that you are before Allah (Mighty and Majestic), whispering to Him with His words and drawing near to Him through His remembrance and supplication. This is the core of prayer, its spirit. As for his statement: giving zakah means giving it to those who are entitled to it. This encompasses both the right of Allah and the right of the servants. As for it being a right of Allah, it is because Allah made zakah obligatory upon His servants and made it one of the pillars of Islam. As for it being a right of the human being, it is because of what it contains of fulfilling the needs of the needy and those in need, and other known benefits in knowing the people of zakah. As for his statement: Sahih al-Bukhari 13 This sincere advice is that you love for your brothers what you love for yourself, such that what pleases them pleases you, and what angers them angers you, and you treat them as you would like to be treated. This chapter is very broad and vast. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) negated faith from whoever does not love for his brother what he loves for himself in everything. The negation of faith, the scholars said, means the negation of complete faith, meaning: your faith is not complete until you love for your brother what you love for yourself. It is not meant that faith is negated entirely .
