Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Prayers for Hard Times

Which door is the best to pray when you're going through a hard

time and when you are at your lowest, okay, there's numerous

doors to be honest, there's actually numerous doors in this

first hour though, those doors which I think one of the best two

hours that you could do is to sit and read Quran with meaning

because you're going to come across so much in the Quran that

is going to help you

through this maze that you find yourself in because essentially

when you're at your lowest you it's like a maze, you don't know

which way to go. And you just feeling

at loss you're feeling

you're just feeling like you're worthless sometimes. So you start

reading the Quran, you understand what Allah is saying. So I'm

talking about a more holistic approach as opposed to just like

putting your hands up and making a few dollars that you have no idea

what you're saying. Then there are those doors in which you praise

Allah Allah, Allah Illallah who have evil Haleem La ilaha illallah

Bhullar Sheila Aleem La Ilaha, il Allah Ragusa disability hora,

Bullock, Sheila Veeam, you know, there is no God except Allah, Lord

of the Throne, Lord of the heavens, all of these things, they

really give you an understanding of the greatness of Allah subhanho

wa taala. When you focus on that, then you understand our smallness,

is then put into perspective. Right now shaytan is making our

slave hood, he's making us feel bad about it, because he wants us

to feel great in the wrong sense. So if you put ourselves that way,

just servants of Allah. Right? So that's number two. Number three,

there are other donors like husband Allahu anatomia, Lucky

ALLAH is sufficient for us. And he's the best patron that works

miracles, right? So an abundant reading of that. Number four,

Allah Who journey female see, but the harder. This is, of course, if

you're in a masiva, right, if you're in some kind of calamity or

difficulty, then you say, oh, Allah reward me for this calamity

that I'm in, in the sense that reward me by giving me patience.

You know, with all of this difficulty that I'm going through,

then give me give me give me patience on that and elevate my

status because of that, and give me in return for it something even

better. You actually say that to people who have just lost a loved

one. Right? You You're basically saying of them Allah who has your

luck, may Allah increase your reward? Why? Because you've just

lost something. Human humans, when they lose something, they they

become vulnerable, when they become vulnerable than they have

to be patient unless they cry out and do wrong, right? Generally,

you'll be patient that's the timing, you can be patients and

patients has a huge rewards.

So I think there has to be a holistic approach is not like some

kind of spell that you just read the door and you're done. Right?

It needs to be with meaning. And that really is what helps because

you're in a vulnerable state you need to boost yourself up. And

then there are there are traditions which mentioned that

when your heart is broken, then you're very close to Allah and

Allah subhanaw taala will answer you otherwise inshallah. So really

any heartfelt da tahajjud is going to be really the most mighty

dollar that you can do along with all of these in sha Allah
