Never be the same again. For these blessed 10 days of Dul Hijja, we have been on a journey. It was never about perfecting Salah. It was about finding your way back. Back to peace, back to purpose, back to Allah. So now when you stand to pray, don't stand the same way you used to. Stand present, stand sincere, stand connected, because Salah is no longer just something you do.

But it's who you are becoming, and this time, don't walk away unchanged. Don't walk away unchanged. My brothers and sisters, we have embarked upon this beautiful journey together over these blessed days of Jol Hijja. The journey has been about Salah, about our prayers, and the profound impact they can have upon our lives. It was never about perfecting Salah, but rather it was about finding your way back to it. It was finding your way back, back to peace, back to purpose.

and ultimately back to Allah supranahua'u'a'a'a As we conclude this series, I invite you to reflect on the changes you have experienced. Have you felt a shift in your heart? Have you noticed a deeper connection with Allah supranahua-ta-a-da during your Salah? This journey was designed to help us leave behind the distractions that often clouded our worship.

It was about awakening our hearts and our minds to the true essence of Salah. When you stand to pray, I urge you to never stand the same thing. the same way you used to. This is a pivotal moment in your spiritual journey. It is an opportunity for you to commit to a new way of approaching your sala, one that is filled with sincerity, presence, and connection. Because sala is not merely a ritual, but it's a lifeline to Allah. It is a means of communication and a way to express our gratitude, our hopes, and our fears.

And when we make a lifelong commitment to sala, we are committing to, we are committing to to a relationship with Allah supranahua-ta-a-ta-a-da. And that relationship requires effort, sincerity, and willingness to grow. So as we stand for sara, we must remember that each and every saraa is a chance to renew our commitment to Allah suhpani-a-ta-a-ta-a-da. It is a moment to reflect upon our actions,

to seek his guidance, like the Prophet of Allah a He v.Salam said, that the closest a servant comes to his Lord is when he is prostrating. So this highlights the importance of our being present, this importance of being present and sincere in our salaa. So now when you stand to pray, stand differently, stand present, stand sincere, stand connected. This is not just about physical movements. It's about the state of your heart and your mind.

When you stand for sala, leave behind the distractions of this dunya. Focus on the words you are recital. and the meaning behind them. Allow yourself to be fully immersed in the moment. Because this is your time with Allah, and it deserves your undivided attention. Now as we continue to embrace this new approach to Salah, remember that this is no longer just something that you do.

It's who you are becoming. Your Salah are a reflection of your journey towards becoming a better version of yourself. Each time you stand for Salah, you're taking a step of you're taking a step, closer to your true purpose. And Allah reminds us of this in the Quran in which he says, and I not create the Jinn and mankind except to worship me. So our purpose in life is to worship Allah, and Salah is a fundamental aspect of that Ibada.

When you approach Salah, when you approach Salah with sincerity and presence, you align yourself with your purpose. I said it before, but as we conclude this series, don't walk away unchanged. allow the lessons that you have learned to resonate within you. Let them inspire you to make Salah a priority in your life. Consider setting specific goals for your Salat. Try to improve on every part of your Salah,

whether it is concentration, whether it's understanding the meanings of the ayas that you're reciting, or it's enhancing your humility in your Salat. Whatever it may be, commit to making Salah a transformative experience. Remember, this journey, This journey is about finding peace, purpose, and connection with Allah. When you stand for Salah, you're not just fulfilling an obligation. You're engaging in a sacred dialogue with your Creator.

Embrace that opportunity to pour your heart out to Allah, to seek his guidance, to seek his mercy, to express your fears, to express gratitude, and to seek forgiveness. Because in those moments of difficulty, turn to your Salah. In those times of joy, celebrate with your Salah. Celebrate with your Salah. Let your Salah be a source of comfort and strength in your life. I encourage each and every one of us to embrace this new beginning. When you stand for sala, do so with a heart full of intention and sincerity. Let your sala be a reflection of your

commitment to Allah and your desire to grow in your imman. May Allah, Sufanao'u'll grant us the ability to stand before him with humility and sincerity.
