That's why there's a hadith that says that whoever doesn't ask
Allah Allah gets angry on him. Like what's wrong with you? I know
you need me. You need me for everything, and you can't even
pray to Me.
You think you're self sufficient? You think you're independent?
Right? You think you can go to somebody else instead? So can you
see how it's worship? Have you ever thought of Dubai like that?
Have you ever thought of Dubai like that your doors will change
now. You'll actually feel closer to Allah because you're offering a
worship. And again, if you can pray to Allah, it's because Allah
has allowed us to pray. So don't think it's some kind of
obligation and Allah that I'm doing the ah, so you better be
happy with me or something?
Bismillah R Rahman Rahim. Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Hamden
cathedral for uban Mubarak and fie Mubarak and Ali
can now your headboard buena we are the gel La Jolla Juan Manuel
are salatu salam O Allah say you will have you been Mustafa
sallallahu
alayhi wa aalihi wa sahbihi odaka are seldom at the Sleeman Kathira
on Eli Iommi, Dean Amma bad so dear brothers and dear friends and
we
are in the midst of the month of Ramadan.
And because of that,
what we do is we try to look at one of the prominent
gems of the Quran, one of the Jawaharlal Quran. So I've got a
two verses we're going to try to look at today in sha Allah versus
55 and 56 of Surah two are off.
Are we below him in a shape or any Ragini Bismillah R Rahman Rahim o
the ruler of Baku dot o Hosea. In hula, you're a bull more 13. What
to say to fill out the back the insula, whether you have a fellow
Tamera in metta law, he put even minimal Morosini.
So this is what Allah subhanaw taala said, the simple translation
of this is Call upon your Lord, Call upon your Lord humbly in
humility and privately.
So humbly and privately, He does not love people who go beyond the
boundaries, He does not love the aggressors.
Then Allah subhanaw taala says and do not cause corruption on the
earth after its reformation.
Don't cause corruption, after its reformation, and then again, and
pray to Him with fear and hope.
Allah's Mercy is close to the good Dewar's.
So regarding prayer, and calling Unto Allah, there's literally four
things which are mentioned. And he mentioned something in between, so
call Unto Allah humbly, and quietly, or privately, as to
things and then number three, do it with fear and hope. So that's
four things. So keep that in mind. And we're going to look at this.
Now, this, this verse of the Quran is a very, very prominent verse
that people you know, would be inspired by. One of the main
objectives of this verse is to get us to pray to Allah subhanho wa
Taala and devote ourselves to Him essentially Express devotion to
which is what we're born for. Right? Because dua is one of the
highest forms of worship, and it's the essence of worship. So that's
why we're here for worship. Now, how exactly are we doing this?
That's where we're going to look at. So
Allah subhanho wa taala. Previously in this surah, has
mentioned a number of evidences and proofs for Allah subhanaw
taala has absolute power and His might
and His wisdom. And Allah subhanaw taala has talked about his Rama
and his mercy as well.
So after he discussed those major themes, Allah followed it up by
saying, Well, if he's the most mighty, and he's got complete
power, and wisdom in what he does the way he does it totally wise,
and also mercy, then Well, you better
express your devotion to Him in the appropriate way. And he's the
one that you need to be calling on to. So it's like a logical
conclusion to that. And the reason why dua is mentioned and rather
than worship is because dua as the Prophet SAW, some said, is the
kernel of worship or the essence of worship.
I mean, usually that's a bit confusing because you know, when
we
Do we, it's almost like we're
asking Allah for something, rather than offering him something we
understand worship is offering him something, our Salah to the cat or
hijo fasting. And when we're doing worship or when we're doing dua,
it's almost like we are asking something selfish for ourselves,
rather than giving him something right. So how is the our worship?
The reason it's worship, as it will become clearer as we look at
this is because the purpose of worship of any worship is to
glorify Allah, and literally recognize that he is the one who's
worthy of it. And when we do do Ah, that's essentially what we're
doing. Like if you take out the fact that I need something, and I
recognizing that I can't do anything myself, I'm helpless. I
am in need. And then if I'm asking Allah, it means I'm putting him
there, as in the place of the one I can ask. So that is like
worship. In fact, it's the highest form of worship, because when you
do Salah and so on, you could be doing it for others. When you're
doing a DUA, and you really want something from Allah, then it can
only be for Allah. Because otherwise why would you be asking
him and not somebody else? That's how dua becomes the kernel of
worship. So in our asking Allah, we're actually worshipping him.
It's amazing. That's why Allah loves it when you make dua.
Because it's a recognition. It's a recognition that okay, this guy is
recognize that he needs me.
That's why there's a hadith that says that whoever doesn't ask
Allah Allah gets angry on him. Like what's wrong with you? I know
you need me, you need me for everything, and you can't even
pray to Me.
You think you're self sufficient? You think you're independent?
You think you can go to somebody else instead? So can you see how
it's worship? Have you ever thought of do I like that? Have
you ever thought of do I like that your doors will change now. You'll
actually feel closer to Allah because you're offering a worship
and again, if you can pray to Allah it's because Allah has
allowed us to pray so don't think it's some kind of
obligation and Allah that I'm doing to our so you better be
happy with me or something
right
so anyway, let's look a bit further so the words here or there
or up back home that are wrong we're healthier so tada row and
healthier these are Arabic words that the root means that the
little well what is the kana which means in humility and in making
yourself lowly and needy you know that states that's why in our da
Allah is telling us that's how you should do our Think yourself that
you're in need and you're lonely and you are in need. If you do
though, like on give me if you want to like yeah, just give me
that if you want
then
that's that was going anywhere you understand it's like I need to
show that I need because if I'm asking you I better show I need
and healthier because Allah subhanaw taala says insert an hour
off
in another Surah with go rob book if enough secret adorable I will
leave it oh do when Elijah hurry Mina Luca Willie Bill who do we
will saw you want to take one minute law of any call on to your
Lord. Remember actually remember your Lord in yourselves. So
internally remember your that's a more powerful remembrance than
outside because without sight can do it to show people but if you're
remembering Allah inside nobody's watching it's your very personal
one is more Eclass in that.
So remember Allah in yourselves, the Dhawan with this humility and
need worry for them and in silence or in private
and doing the Johari window which means and not loudly, not loudly,
you know so as to show up for something morning and evening and
do not be of the heedless ones.
Okay, now, what's the background for this verse? Usually many
verses are revealed or come came down during our personal lives and
because of any event, however, they're not stuck to that event.
That's just the historical point. They came down to be timeless
guidance for mankind forever, even though that particular event is no
longer around. So what happened is Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim and
Imam Bukhari they relayed from Abu Musa Ashanti Radi Allahu Anhu
that once people were raising their voices in Doha, they were
making loud all of them making loud dua. The Prophet saw some
said a Yohannes people
are beruwala and for cecum get a grip on yourselves. Like Take it
easy, essentially, like take it easy. Imagine you came in and
everybody's doing louder. I take it easy you guys are in the Kamala
Taruna or someone you're not calling on to. It's not like
He's in a call center and you're trying to shout so that your words
can get through because they want it you get get in,
you're not calling on to a deaf person or absent person. You're
not You're not calling on to somebody who's deaf or absent.
He's right there, he's closer to you than your jugular vein. The
one you're calling on to SME on Corrib, he is all listening. And
he is very, very close to you.
Right, so that tells us that the probably the most powerful that
would come from our heart, the focus though of the hearts,
because you know, when I do, I could have 10 Two hours that I've
memorized and I just after namaz, I've got this habit of saying that
my mind is somewhere else on my next meeting, but I just say them
hamdulillah is still at least a bit of a duel, I'm there, right?
However, if I really like sit down and focus on MTO, and I'm calling
Unto Allah with my heart, you can see that far superior. That's why
they say that sometimes doing vicar, with our with your tongue
is good, it's great, but it's like taking a tablet. And then you do
thicker with your heart, without your tongue being involved and you
do it properly. That's like an intravenous. Like, it's really
right there. Just get into it straight, right
there after that.
Just in general, Allah Subhana Allah says, Don't cause corruption
in the world after you had after it was rectified, or after you had
rectified it. Basically saying that Allah subhanaw taala has
created everything in proportion. Allah has created everything
perfectly. And it's the human beings that cause corruption and
destabilize the world and mess it up and corrupted. So may Allah
subhanaw taala, give us the trophy, to call him with humility,
and this is the adverb of dua are being taught the ethical adore
being taught in this verse. I'll just repeat the verse again. For
us to round it off. Call upon your Lord with humility,
with need, and privately I didn't manage to discuss that today
privately means so you don't have to show off. You don't have to do
louder hours to show off to people that you make it loud was a Allama
day they budget their day like give it to me give it to, you
know, in front of everyone. Do it privately because he can hear you
anyway. Let him see the heart instead. He does not look
aggressive, or people who go beyond the bounds and do not cause
corrupt on the earth after his reformation. And then pray to Him
with fear and hope. So when you are praying, you feel full of him
that is Am I doing the right thing? Am I going overboard? Am I
asking him for the right thing? Right? Should I be asking him this
and so on. Right? Is this the right thing to ask him for and
with hope that it is Allah will give it to me Allah is going to
give it to me with a hope for getting closer to Allah subhanaw
taala. And then Allah finishes off by saying Allah's Mercy is with
the duties of good. You do good Allah's Mercy is going to be with
you. Make yourself a doer of good don't cause facade in the world.
Don't cause upsets in the world don't mess things up in the world
by lying or swindling or deceiving, or being violent or
whatever. And Allah subhanaw taala as mercy is close to the people
who do good, may Allah subhanaw taala accepted for us, okay with
that one and il hamdulillahi rabbil Alameen. The point of a
lecture is to encourage people to act to get further an inspiration
and encouragement, persuasion. The next step is to actually start
learning seriously to read books to take on a subject of Islam and
to understand all the subjects of Islam at least at the basic level,
so that we can become more aware of what our deen wants from us.
And that's why we started Rayyan courses so that you can actually
take organize lectures on demand whenever you have free time,
especially for example, the Islamic essentials course that we
have on there, the Islamic essentials certificate, which you
take 20 Short modules, and at the end of that inshallah you will
have gotten the basics of most of the most important topics in Islam
and you'll feel a lot more confident. You don't have to leave
lectures behind you can continue to live, you know, to listen to
lectures, but you need to have this more sustained study as well
as local law here and Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa
barakato.
