Has the time for the afternoon prayer come? It has. The bus is going to leave.

If he goes as far as the mosque, the bus will leave. If he gets on the bus

this driver won’t stop until evening time. The prayer will be missed.

What will he do now? Step aside, let’s see.

Allah is the Greatest!

He stops right there and prays. Beside the bus.

Well, they’ll criticize. If they disapprove, let them not give him their daughter.

Let whoever wants to, find fault. Let Allah love him; that’s enough.

Allah is the Greatest! You perform the prayer properly.

Peace and the mercy of Allah be upon you. Peace and the mercy of Allah be upon you.

But we don’t do that. We feel embarrassed.

He prays at home so the crease of his trousers won’t get ruined.

Now he says, “My trousers are razor-sharp, nicely pressed.”

Now if I perform the noon prayer here, it’ll look like a stove pipe elbow.

The trousers will wrinkle. Pardon? He doesn’t pray.

Because the crease would get ruined. Shame on him.

Is Allah’s approval worth less than the crease of a pair of trousers?

Prayer.

So how is it supposed to be? Look, here's the rule.

If one absolutely wants Paradise— we do, okay.

Do not fear the blame of the blamer.

You will do what you know to be right.

Let everyone adjust themselves accordingly.

Let them say, 'This is how a Muslim is,' and be done with it.

Well, I don't know, they say hold the knife in the right hand,

they say hold the fork in the left hand.

Well, you're supposed to eat like that.

There's no such thing. I don't do that.

I eat with my right hand, that's it.

A believer on Allah's path does not fear the blame of the blamer.

Okay? That's how it will be.

I mean, Allah has commanded; I will do it.

Allah loves it this way; I will do it that way.
