This narration that he mentions is a narration on the authority of and also on the authority of Omar which states that they heard the messenger of Allah saying on his member once that a people will for will stop and cease foregoing attendance of alum lest Allah stamp and seal their hearts and they end up being of those who are those who are put into a spiritual slumber and unawareness. So here we have a narration in which Abu and Omar they mention that they heard the messenger of Allah say on the why is this detail important and its is supposed to be about The core principles of Islam. This is the essence of Juma. Juma is not supposed to be a class, a detailed lecture. It is not supposed to be on peripheral issues or minutia. Jum is supposed to be on the core tenants of Islam and the core virtues of Islam. Straying from that is to stray from the way of the prophet sallall.aii wasallam and to stray from the purpose that alum was obligated for everyone to attend. And so what is supposed to be on the day of jum what is the supposed to speak about? Should the khib speak about minutia, details, nuances, particular issues that are differences of opinion should he speak about? No, none of these things are what the prophet sallall.aii wasallam would address in his in J is a very fundamental rudimentary. It's a very macro issue meaning that we speak about the core tenants and principles of Islam and it is supposed to be simple and it is the most important things that every Muslim needs to know and hear and be reminded of. This is what Ju is for. This is what it is about. When we stray from that, we blunt this instrument that is the of J. We take away its intended purpose. And so the prophet sallall.aii wasallam when he mentions something on the member, it's usually because it's the J that he's giving. because he would usually use the meim to give announcements or to give the of J. So when a companion tells us he was on the member when he said this, we understand that this is one of the core principles of Islam. This is not an issue of a difference of opinion or some companions can know it and others can be ignorant of it. This is something that should be common knowledge amongst the Muslims. It is of vital importance to every Muslim to know whatever he says on the members saiam. It wasn't in a personal gathering. It wasn't in his home. It wasn't around a campfire. It wasn't while he was traveling. It was on the member when the most ears are listening. And so this tells us that this principle of attending Jum is one of the core principles of Islam that is common knowledge amongst the Muslim. It is not an issue of debate at all. And so the prophet sallall.aii wasallam not only says this on the member but he says it as a warning. He warns. He says those who forego attendance of Jumra will cease doing so or Allah will seal their hearts and they will slip into a spiritual slumber, a spiritual psychosis, a spiritual sleep or a spiritual delusion in which they cannot see their way out of anymore. They will not even know that they are sleeping to even try to wake themselves up. This is the danger of that. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has told us that those whom he seals their ears and their eyes and seals their hearts, they are the ones who are asleep. They are the ones who are and so what happens when Allah seals a person's heart that means that they cannot benefit from that which they hear they cannot benefit from that which they see in any meaningful or lasting way and the light and truth can no longer penetrate their hearts. And so a person will be asleep and think that they're awake. They will be dreaming but they think that they are awake and they're experiencing reality. Their way of seeing the world will become delusional. They're not seeing it it as it is anymore. This is the danger of foregoing the of J upon who? upon those whom meet the criteria of J. Who is obligated to attend J? Al Muslim al- Mim.

That who is jum obligatory upon the Muslim who is sane who is of age who is past the age of puberty who is a resident who is healthy and who is not a slave. Slaves are not obligated to attend Jama. Some scholars exempt those who are traveling. Meaning that when you are traveling, you don't have to have a jum in your caravan. But if a person is traveling in a land and they hear the dua, the aan of jum, do they have to attend? Difference of opinion amongst the scholars. However, it would tend towards the generality of the statement of Allah. That's.
