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
