wisdoms, so, may Allah have mercy on him he says.

what does that mean? The first part seems to be a bit more
simpler than the second part. What he means is that to soften for you
the suffering of affliction.
He has taught you that he is the one who causes the trials to come
upon you. So in the last session in the last aphorism,
if not auto Allah had said, let's start with a beaucoup aka Rima
doomed if he had hit Darfur in the Hama, Abaza Illa, who was the
hukou was we have a vegetable narrativa, which basically meant
so long as you are in this world, don't be surprised that the
existence of sorrows for truly the world manifests nothing but what
is in keeping with its character. And its inevitable nature, the
nature of the world is to include suffering. So now, he's going to
the next level. And he's saying, I'm going to tell you a way to
soften the suffering. Firstly, you needed to get your perspective,
right, which was that why is there suffering, for you to even seek a
world without suffering. When we say suffering is we're not when
we're not here to suffer. And suffering is not our objective.
And when we do not actively cause anybody to suffer, but suffering
will come. Even if it's something as simple as losing someone, how
many people have been lost in COVID, nearly everybody knows
somebody who's been either afflicted, just afflicted or who
have either passed away, and if not, through COVID through other
means that's a suffering.
That's a suffering on its own. So even if you have a child or a
loved one, and they are traveling, and you have to suffer them, you
know, when you miss them, the departure, the being away from you
that's suffering. So suffering is going to happen, but we don't
cause suffering, actively cause suffering.
And we're not here to suffer. But suffering is part of this. So he
got that perspective, right, that they will be suffering. Now, the
second part he is saying is that I'm going to try to make it easy
on you. And this is, obviously he's doing this through his
experience. And this is all part of his understanding of the
absolute the hate and oneness of Allah subhanaw taala. I said, this
book is actually a book of Tawheed once we understand it, because
he's saying, now you need to understand why Allah subhanaw
taala sin suffering, and that will then provide you some
facilitation, and some ease. And hamdulillah Bring it on, you know,
because we know that suffering will be inevitable difficulties
and setbacks, shortcomings will be inevitable. And tests and trials
do happen. And we do face, sometimes an uphill climb in doing
something. So anything that can help us with that. That's
wonderful. And the reason I'm so excited about it, is because I've
seen people who have kind of realized this, and they just don't
have the same reaction, the same negative reaction to a lot of
other people who don't know the nature of what suffering is about
or what the purpose of it is about and where it comes from. So if
not, I thought Allah may Allah bless him. Rocky Mahala
is literally just telling us that look, this all the suffering comes
from one source it comes from Allah subhanaw taala. So that's
why he's saying to soften for you the suffering of affliction. He
has taught you that he is the one who causes the trials.
come upon you.
For the one who confronts you with his decrees of fate is the same,
who has accustomed you to his good choice. That's the second part.
This is aphorism Heckman number 105, which is on page 191 of the
commentary, page 191 of the commentary, and it's hikma number
105. So with the second part, the first part is quite simple that is
telling you that it comes from Allah subhanaw taala. The second
part is saying that, just remember that the one who's confronting you
with this decree of fate, like whatever difficulties happened
happening to you, it's written, so it's part of your fate. So he's
saying that this fate, so call this fate call this decree call
this your Providence, right? You're what Allah subhanaw taala
is this is all coming from the same one who is also generally
normally accustomed to having a for his good choice, which
basically means that aren't you generally benefiting and having
gifts showered upon you, having your the fact that we've even been
in we are even in this world, and we have a Rob and a lord and he's
looking after us and our tarbiyah is being done meaning Allah
subhanaw taala has brought us up to the stage and allowed us to
benefit from this world and, and and so on and so forth. He's the
same one, who is actually giving you these difficulties, they're
not coming from two different sources. It's not as if the good
comes from Allah. So then okay, that's when we thank Allah and
when, when it's difficult, it's coming from the shaytaan No, no,
not at all. Everything comes from Allah. And Allah subhanaw. Taala
is the wise one. Allah subhanho wa Taala knows exactly what he's
doing. Allah subhanaw taala has already predetermined and decided
how everything is going to be because based on his nature of
based on his knowledge of what he knows about everybody, and then
his just absolute ability to make a choice regarding everything. So
it's all coming from the same place. Now, in other words, what
this is telling you is that the only way for you to
have these difficulties be lightened, and be tolerable and be
easy. And then not just that, it's not just about tolerating them and
moving on, oh, okay, that's done, and not getting anything out of
it. No, Allah subhanaw taala is a lot more is a lot more profound
and generous than that he want, he knows difficulties will come. He
wants us to tolerate them and deal with them and have patience on
them. But then he wants them to be rewarding. He wants them to be
rewarding for us. So this is what's telling us that if you
correct your perspective, all the difficulties, not only will you
learn to tolerate, and deal with them, and surmount them, and
overcome them and leave them behind, but you'll actually be
able to take a lot of
a lot of spoils of war, a lot of good, a lot of reward you can
carry out of it. So when you started, the difficulty suddenly
came upon you, you only had a certain amount of rewards, good
deeds, status with Allah. And if you deal with this mountain that's
about that you're about to climb that you're about to ascend, that
you need to cross.
If you do it right, the right perspective, then when you get
over the top, and you get to the other side, you'll be much better
off, you'll have greater rewards, you'll have more deeds to your
name, you will be higher up and be closer to Allah subhanaw taala.
That's what Allah is telling us at once you recognize where this is
coming from. And that is all coming from Allah. And he has a
purpose and my job and I've got a responsibility here. So that's the
thing. It's about knowing the responsibility. So there's
actually humans have a responsibility, when we have good
in our lives. And we also have a responsibility. When we have
difficulties in our life. It's not like when you're in Islam, even
when you're sick, you still have a responsibility. We have
responsibilities to our body, that we are going to try to find some
kind of cure, or we're going to try to take some precautions. So
when you're when you're sick, and Ill, you know, you don't want to
be meeting people like in the whole COVID thing. You have to
take those precautions in every state so that we have we have
responsibilities. You know, we are responsible beings, we're called
McAuliffe. Right. The conservator Cliff has mentioned the Quran that
you can live with love and gifts and he loves Allah. Allah has made
us responsible by being human beings, the highest of all
creation. Well look at Corona, Benny Adam, being able to
subjugate other and weak that comes with responsibilities being
a vice John khalifa to lie, fill out the vice urine of Allah on
this earth,
specially selected by Allah subhanaw taala to be sent prophets
to
Allah subhanaw taala has chosen us but that gives us
responsibilities. So when you're sick, you're not just going to
give it all up. You still have responsibilities we still have to
pray
As far as possible, the only time you don't have to pray is if
you're completely paralyzed and you can't move anything. That's
generally the situation or you're sleeping for over 24 hours, then
meaning you're in a coma rather for 24 hours not sleeping. If
you're in a coma for over 24 hours, then those five slots
become canceled on you. But otherwise, we have to pray, we
still have responsibilities just like we are respond to try to find
a cure and not afflict somebody else, possibly.
So likewise, when we any difficulty that any other
difficulty, which is not necessarily a sickness, or an
illness, it's a loss of something.
It's just a parent who's oppressing you.
This some people who are going through oppressive oppression
through their parents. For years, a guy called me is 31 years old,
and he's going through oppression through his parents, I said,
You're I said, Where do you live is that I still live with my
parents. So I said, Why don't you move, I don't have the money to
move. I said, you're the loser. In this case, you
as much to blame, you need to move out, maintain relationship with
your parents with an oppressive parent, because there are
unfortunately, there are oppressive parents, unfortunately,
right, we can't discount that idea. So they still respect to
parents. But that doesn't mean that you need to be with them to
take the blows all the time, if they don't really need you to be
serving them. That's a different issue anyway. So go find another
place, work hard, and stop living off them, write stop living off
them, and then keep saying that they're oppressing you.
Go make your own life and be close to them. And you'll see that your
life will improve that way.
So sometimes we bring on difficulties to ourselves anyway.
So we have to obviously look at that. But what this is saying
is that a URL in sun, human, you know, when any kind of difficulty
reaches you, afflicts you, or any other kind of test comes upon you.
Either in your body, in your family, in your wealth.
Your car was stolen, or something, car broke down, the engine packed
up, then this is maybe the difficult part that remember, just
think who brought this upon you. Like, are we being negative here?
We're trying to remember Allah as the Allah is the one who's
afflicting you? Do we have to remember Allah subhanaw taala like
that? No, the purpose of it is different. It's not to say it's
Allah. So let's blame him. He's the one who's doing all of these
things. That's not the idea. That's not a believer.
That's completely the opposite.
Subhanallah you know, there are people who have that kind of
awareness of Allah, that whenever something wrong happens, they
think why Allah only be a jeep. You know, there's some people who
don't remember at all. They, when there's a difficulty, they like
trying to find out who can help them. They don't think of Allah at
all. And then some people if they do think of Allah, they think of
him negatively. Why me? Why did Allah do this to me for why did he
cause me this suffering? Why is it always me? That's pure shaytaan.
To try to break that link between you and such, Have you never seen
where sometimes you've had this idea that somebody did something
to you, and you put all of your aggression against them, when you
actually discovered that it was actually somebody else's person
had absolutely nothing to do with this. This is just a massive plot
of shaytaan. To to spoil and adulterate and corrupt your
relationship with Allah subhanho wa taala. Know the awareness you
need about Allah subhanho wa taala, that's going to be positive
is that look, this is Allah behind this. And he is the kind of
generous one he's the compassionate one he loves.
The believers, Allah looks after the believers who Allahu Allah,
you will mean, Allah who will lead you live in Ermanno. Allah takes
care of them. Allah is the rub. That's his name, he does the
therapy, which means he looks after them and nurtures them. How
can he do that to me, there's a reason for it.
So
So now just remember first will cause this to come upon you.
And then remember that Allah subhanaw taala is Rahim. Allah is
merciful, He is compassionate. And Allah has love and Allah has come
and ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala cares for you.
Then after that, it's an exercise. Once you think of it that way
positively like that, then you will start to realize what benefit
there is in this difficulty.
That there may be some benefit some gifts that are wrapped up in
this difficulty that comes upon you.
As this is a way to understand this.
This has if this didn't happen, I would have done that instead. If
my car did not break down, I was gonna go and do that and then
Alhamdulillah this was all averted sometimes that will come later
that I, that realization will come later. Now, if nothing else if you
can't see any big wisdom of an aversion of a bigger calamity or
anything like that, that's fine.
At the least there are definitely some things happening by defaults
if you got it right if you've got the perspective right,
while I'm while I will Aamir Khan Illa dot hero coming up Zulu, if
there was nothing else in it, except just purifying you from
your sins, because one of the most powerful purifiers like a steaming
machine or something like that is sub in difficulty. One is Toba,
Toba repentance. And the other one to get closer to Allah and to be
purified is just connecting with Allah when a difficulty happens to
really show your your affinity, your connection to Allah, that
creates purity from sin. That's like a washing machine.
What am he so criminal or YouTube and purifying you correcting you
from defects? How would you get corrected from defects when you
have a difficulty? A lot of a lot of In fact, there's a huge benefit
in that because your ego gets
injured. When people have difficulties, they no longer those
proud and arrogant and self confident narcissistic
individuals.
They realize their difficulty, they realize their weakness, they
realize their vulnerability.
So Allah subhanaw taala is just taking away what's going to be
harmful to you by making you think and reflect and above that.
Another benefit is Dockery boo caminhada, to Allah, Allah, who
you
he's making you closer to the one who knows all of the unseen hands,
who is the most profound knower, the omniscient one of all the
unseen things. So now you're crossing this mountain, you're
crossing this ocean in front of you, which is the difficulty you
have to get to the other side. But Masha Allah, these are the
treasures you pick up on the way purification from your sin.
Purification and correction, reformation of your defects,
especially psychologic
spiritual defects. And number three, bringing you closer to
Allah subhanaw taala. If that was all that you get out of
difficulties, isn't it sufficient? Lukka that would be sufficient.
When people are playing fortnight, they're picking up stuff to
survive. They get stronger, they have to be revived. They have to
get on cabbage and stuff like that. I don't know if some crazies
I watch it. I see some people playing. It's a bit crazy. I don't
know if you guys play fortnight, right and hamdulillah right? The
only thing good about it doesn't have music. You can shut the music
off. That's a good advice. All these other games are crazy,
right? So you're picking up stuff in a lot of these games. It's
about picking up stuff and reward and going over that's what it's
like humans love this to pick up things on the way. Benefit on the
way. Here you are Allah subhanaw taala puts the difficulty you have
to you have to deal with this now.
If only games that they created, like fortnight or whatever could
actually teach you lessons in life.
Why don't think I don't know why anybody doesn't think that way,
though. Okay, make a game that has lessons in life that can actually
teach you some real life lessons. Problem with this, I know my kids
were playing this car game where you bet, where you have to bash
the cars off or something like that. So we're driving, like in
real life and like, just bash him off. This is not the game. This is
not the game it's in it was on the Nintendo Wii U or what's like
Sonic or something, right? It's called. Like, That's not. That's
not the real life. So somehow, unless somebody needs to think
about creating a game that's so immersive, but has some real life,
positive benefits, otherwise, it's a waste of time. It's a waste of
time.
There's a lot of people that keep questioning why, you know, why are
we in this what you know, what can Islam do? And these guys are, you
know, gaming people and these guys are programmers and everything,
think right, think correctly,
and do something with the expertise Allah subhanaw taala has
given you so the one who has now confronted you, right, whose might
have confronted you with this difficulty. He is the same one who
has given you all the things in life is wrong coming from the same
source, the one who's confronted you with all of these
difficulties. He is the same one from whom comes all goodness, all
kindness, everything that you were you eat, and you've done and
you've achieved and you enjoy this world.
The one who is now bringing up and confronting you with these
apparent difficulties
These apparent tests, he's the one who also can shower you amidst all
of this with great goodness and great gifts and benefits. That's
why there was a poet who says
they love the legal alarm or if anthem asked me
the Hindi for here in the sauna. What in terms the Hindi for here
in the sauna.
The hat can be Marta Hawa, who fear for a nanny for Kieran, Liesl
Tonle Mahabharata.
Which basically means that pains and difficulties and, and griefs,
they are a source of pleasure for me when I know that you're the one
who is making me undergo them.
And if you're going to, if you're going to test me, then that is
fine. I have many, many ways of dealing with this
in many, many forms.
Because I am at the end of the day, my job and my state is that
I'm basically I am the one who is a fakir, who's the needy one who
has to be obedient to the master of all love.
So that's our state with Allah subhanaw taala Junaid Baghdadi
Rahim Allah. He said
that one day, I was sleeping close to a city Zuccotti. Now these are
two of
these great aesthetics and Olia of the past that pretty much
everybody recognizes their words have just proliferated through all
the books after and everybody's benefited from them in the path of
spirituality. So they're together a study of circuitry. And Junaid
Al Baghdadi said I was sleeping close to him
and then he woke me up. He woke me up and he said to me Junaid, I've
just seen a dream. And I've seen as though I'm standing in front of
Allah subhanaw taala. And Allah then addresses me and he says,
Sorry, I created people, I created all creation.
And all of them claim to be
lovers, all of them claim my love. So then what I did, they all
claimed my love. So I created the dunya.
So nine tenths 90%
Run away
from my love.
Only 1/10 Willis, only 1/10 were left. So then I created paradise.
And nine tenths of those that were left of those 10% 9% Another 9% or
90% of the tip of that last 10% They disappeared. How do you
disappear because of Paradise because your focus becomes
paradise and not alive anymore, which is another pitfall.
So I, I am left with he said
he's sending this to study addressing studies. This is a
study of Socrates dream, Allah subhanaw taala is giving him this
information. So now I've got this 1% left of the original 100%
So then, I afflicted them with just an iota, an infinitesimally
small amount of difficulty and a test. So now
another 90% disappeared.
This to art Shari Laroche. Shari Laroche.
Right?
So then, whoever has now left, which I forget what the
calculation is of those who are left.
It is not you've not intended the dunya and you didn't run to the
world. You didn't run to paradise and just focused on the Acura in
that sense. And neither did you run away from the test and
hellfire.
What do you want? Now? What what are you guys, everybody else they
found something to run to and they found some attraction? What is
wrong with you people? So they said in Nikitina Monterey, do you
know exactly what we want? So then Allah subhanaw taala said to them,
I'm going to cause
I'm going to cause to come upon you
such difficulties and tests and trials that will be to the amount
of your number of your lives. And it is something that not even
mountains
huge, firmly grounded, firmly settled mountains could confront.
Would you still be patient? Would you still remain? So they said,
if it is you in Quinta, and they'll move tele if you're the
one
who is going to be afflicting us forever
I'll mash it, go ahead and do whatever you want.
So then he said her hola eBuddy How can these are my true
servants? Now that sets a very high bar, let that not
make us despondent that we can't reach that level, we're going to
try inshallah to reach that level.
And the way you start is that if we can deal with more difficulties
than less so before if we would just freak out with every little
test that comes in think it's against us and and so on. We need
to start surmounting the smaller ones the bigger ones and insha
Allah one day, it will come to a time when you will be relaxed, you
will have some grief but it will not make you freak out. If not I
Allah in another book of his he says we're in the My your you know
whom Allah humbly come for Tuberville if hum, what helps
these people, the same people, the small minority of people or
whatever they are? What helps them what helps them to deal with and
tolerate and overcome these difficulties and see him in the
right way? Right? Is
Allah subhanho wa Taala has opened the door of understanding for
them. That's what you need, you need understanding. Right? You
need understanding all the psychologists the therapist will
tell you when they deal with people with weird mental issues,
they try to change their mind their perspective, because a lot
of people have skewed their perspective for different reasons
through trauma, to having bad experiences, and so on and so
forth. So they try to get them to think or write again and think
more positively. There's so many books out there about thinking
positively thinking positively. So that's what he's trying to do. So
he's saying in another word, you could also say, Allah subhana wa
Tada
is strengthening them will strengthen you on tolerating your
difficulties and tolerating your your tests and
giving you gifts. You can say it another way he says
that Allah subhanaw taala gets you to understand
and comprehend
the various different
things that will happen in destiny that this is all happening because
Allah subhanaw taala knows it's happening.
And this is all the choice of Allah, nothing is beyond the
choice of Allah. It's not shaytaan doing this, it's, it's coming from
Allah subhanaw taala. But shaytaan can affect the way you think about
this. Also, Allah subhanho wa Taala wants you to know that he
knows and he's aware of what's happening to you. So that way, you
will understand that you're in good hands when you know that the
difficulty is there must be a reason for why Allah subhanaw
taala is doing this. Allah subhanho wa Taala wants you to
know that if you are patient in this, this will help you to get to
the next stage of being satisfied with his decree, which is the
highest state. Allah subhanho wa Taala also wants you to know that
if you if you do deal with these difficulties in the correct way
and you have the right patience, Allah subhanaw taala will give you
a lot more basura Allah will grant you a lot more insight, you will
become a lot more wiser. And you will know why things happen a lot
more than then being well like in the past. And above all, Allah
subhanaw Eventually you will also start seeing the benefits of why
these difficult comes, difficulties come. So it's going
to have to be a progression as you see. Right you will eventually
have to understand Understand, Allah will open it up more and
more and more. But you have to get ready to deal with these in the
way Allah subhanaw taala wants them wants you to do it. That's
why the next aphorism here which we're not going to look in detail
at today, it's for next time but he says mon vana infy caca lotfy
and Kadri furtherly Kalia kusuda NaVi. We'll look at that one next
time. Whoever supposes that Allah's gentleness is separate
from his decree of fate, that when he is challenging you in some way
when he's testing you in certain way, whenever his decree is
occurring upon you, that that doesn't have any of his gentleness
and compassion. Then anybody who thinks like that is doing that out
of short sightedness. You just haven't understood Allah subhanaw
taala. That's why the vicar of Allah, repeating the name of Allah
thinking about Allah is going to help us the difficulties of the
dunya. So I'm going to read to you what Sheikh Abdullah Gringo, he
says, As a conclusion of this, in commentary says, When you keep in
mind that the misfortunes that befall you are from Allah Most
High, the worldly causes having absolutely no significance in this
regard. Yes, it was that guy who did it to you. It was that person
who smashed in your car. It was that person who said this to you.
But remember behind all of that, Allah subhanaw taala knows. So the
worldly causes have obviously no significance in this regard. They
just tools. So don't put your aggression against that person.
Right then
grief and sorrow will be lessened.
When you realize the bigger picture, like, Okay, I understand
this, you will realize that the being who has afflicted you with
the misfortunes is the same being who has always acted for your
welfare in all your affairs until now he looked after you, you just
come across a small difficulty. Or maybe you've got more
difficulties, but there's been all lots of good things that have
happened in your life, he has always treated you with love and
kindness.
Now, of course, if there's a person who has had so many
difficulties, probably because they've been making some big
mistakes, and they're not dealing with the right way, like I said,
there's a person who's stuck in his house, and who is not willing
to stand on his own feet, even though they're over 30 years old.
Right. And that's as much as I know, maybe there's some other
reasons which I don't know, in view of Allah's kind and loving
treatment in all your affairs, you will understand that there most
certainly is some benefit for you in the hardship. There's people,
they can't get married in 10 years, I can't get married, I
can't find the right person. You need to really go to somebody and
think of the way you're looking at this.
I just can't see why you can't get married is it there's no women
around, there's no men around, there's so many women men around,
it's just you've got some weird way of looking at this. So go and
think, for yourself to change the way you're looking at things. Go
and talk to somebody, somebody more reasonable more, you know,
who's got some experience of why do you think that is? What's my
perspective? You know, tell them the options you didn't have? And
why you why you because I that's where I was like, What options did
you have? So that was that, maybe you're just being overly
sensitive. There's some people, I can't get my daughter married,
that's just surmounting my head for the last three, four years.
Either you're doing you're not doing something the right way. But
you should definitely not be grieving. That's a test from
Allah. Right? That's a test from Allah, you need to be trying in
every way.
That's why our Mushrik they tell us that, you know, I remember once
there was a difficult, there was a project that I wanted to do, but
it was proving very difficult. So the Sheikh said, Look, you just
carry on your efforts, you have to carry on the efforts of the world
in the right way, in a intelligent way, in a strategic way. But at
the same time, read husband, Allahu Annette Milwaukee as well.
So don't just sit and read Hassan Allah Who and Mr. luckyland Just
sit back and not do anything, or do things in the wrong way. You
have to do things in the right way. And sometimes, we may be
doing things in the wrong way for many, many years, and we don't
realize it gone, ask somebody else how they did it.
Get some help get somebody to scrutinize the way we're doing
something, inshallah that will be a benefit. So, in view of Allah's
kind of loving treatment in all your affairs, you will understand
that the most certainly is some benefit for you in the hardship.
While ostensibly the hardship appears to be a misfortune. In
reality, it is for your benefit. In fact, it is a mercy for you,
we've detailed all of that already, that these are the
benefits that you get from the rays of status purification
correction, when this knowledge develops into a state in you. So
you see, all of this has to become a state, not just something that
oh, man, I wish I that was the difficulty I freaked out I
shouldn't have done that state means that when it happens, that
is your organic and natural way that you will deal with it, that
will only come with practice. Right? That will only come with
practice. So when this knowledge develops into a state in you, your
worry and grief will disappear. Although the hardship will produce
pain, to your physical body, or to your physical heart, so you will
be pained, you know, you may have been wounded. So there will be
pain, right? There will be difficulty that you have to get up
in the morning to go and take your car to the mechanic on a Sunday
morning because you need it for Monday. You need it, you need it
for Monday, there will be difficulties not like it's all
going to be now okay? The angels are going to come and sort
everything out for you. No, you will still have to do it. But in
your heart, you will not freak out, you will be very calm. That's
the benefit of this. Your spiritual heart will become
contented and delighted. So we ask Allah to do this, because I think
this is so profound, this is so profound, so many people because
we're dealing with these, you know, we're dealing with these
kinds of questions on a day to day basis. Some people are just
miserable in their life, especially during the COVID
because they just think that everything is against them, Allah
does not love them. And it's all about just correcting that idea to
look at things positively to increase our remembrance of Allah
subhanahu wa taala and
then
in sha Allah when this becomes a state, the difficulty will happen
and immediately you will know what to do not after you freak out and
then you talk to somebody said when you should have been a bit
patient, yeah, no, I should have been a bit patient, you will be
patient. So we ask Allah for Tofik We ask Allah for Tofik Allah make
this easy for us. Allah opened this up for us, Allah facilitate
this for us. It's not easy, obviously for some people,
especially when it's been years and years of trauma years and
years of difficulty. So may Allah make it easy for us but you

or Allah, we will be destroyed of Allah for you. It's just the
decree. For us. It's a lie. It's a life full of toil. It's our love

grant us beautiful patients, or Allah make us worthy, worthy,
worthy people that they have left behind, so that we can be a source
of sadaqa jariya for them, Oh Allah, your messenger SallAllahu
Sallam has told us that when somebody dies, then their deeds
become stopped and suspended of Allah. But there are a few things
that continue. And one of them is a righteous son, who prays for
them. Oh Allah make us of those righteous sons or righteous
children, righteous relatives, righteous friends, who will pray
for their friends who have been deceived, pray for their family
members who have been deceased of Allah and make it such that when
we die also that we have we have inspired people to make dua for us
