The Effect Of Prophetic Supplications In Treating Distress, Sadness And Anxiety

Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim

Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah well Allah Allah he will be mine.

All Praise and thanks belongs to Allah subhanho wa taala. And may the peace and blessing of Allah be upon His servant and final messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

as to what follows

this morning's lecture Bismillah heeta Allah,

I thought of what to present for you in this hour or so. And I know that we have to dedicate some time for questions and answers, we'll do that inshallah to Allah after the lecture.

But for now, we are focused on our on our lesson, I thought, what would be something appropriate,

something that each and every single one of us experiences on a day to day basis.

And what I came up with was to share with you

a prophetic supplication. I do that in the bee sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught us

that is a remedy. And it is a treatment for distress, for worry, for calamities, and for anxiety.

And this hadith, Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa salam at the end of it, I will mention it to at the end of this hadith,

when the Sahaba were listening attentively, as he mentioned, and narrated these prophetic words. They said to him at the end

they said to him, Allah, so Allah Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah Maha. They said to me, rasool Allah, should we learn these words? Should we learn them or not? So then in the be sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said, Bella, remember the lemon semi? ohana, a Yatta? Allah Mahan? He said to them, yes, indeed, certainly no doubt about it. Anyone who hears them. So that's the first thing anyone who hears them you need to heed the words and listen to the words of this hadith of these dua, Nabi SallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam says, Anyone who hears them,

then he must learn them.

And learning them doesn't only mean to memorize this dua learning, it means to memorize and to understand, most importantly, that which you have memorized, and then to implement what is in them of words. Whoever does so. Then a Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam grant, or guarantees this person a certain matter. And what is this matter? Let's look at the Hadith from the very beginning and see what in the VI sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, this is the hadith of Abdullah bin Massoud of the Allahu Anhu.

In which he said that the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, ma Saba hadn't come to her Moon water wasn't Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he says, Anyone who is afflicted by him and Herzen and ham

and ham hum is worried

and worry is related to the future. A person is always worried about what is ahead of him. You're not worried of the past and what you had done in the past. The worry is always ascribed to the future. So the word alum in the Arabic language refers to worry and anxiety

and matters that are concerning to you related in the future.

Such as, and people are different when it comes to their worries and concerns. People are worried about their future test with a doctor and what kind of diagnosis or what kind of result that they will receive. People are worried about the financial state in the future. People are worried about their family in the future and their children and who they marry and who they are, where they study and what school they go to and so on. People are different when it comes to their worries and concerns. So when the be sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, if a person whether male or female, was to be struck by an intense calamity, a worry of some sort,

when a husband and he if he was struck by a calamity that is known as husband will help them

sadness and grief. And that is related to matters of the past. A person when he is sad, and He's grieving, he's sad, and He grieves matters of the past, not the future, because the future hasn't happened yet. So there's nothing to be sad about. But the sadness is related to matters of the past,

such as a person lost a loved one of his a parent of his a child of his went through a divorce in the past, his child was misguided, and that was many years ago, and it happened in the past, there was a friendship and a relationship that they had with someone in the past, and it broke off, for example, all of these bring worry. It brings sadness and grief upon the person when he sits down and he begins to reflect over these past events. And so our life is full of him at prison.

If you're not worried about something in the future, you're sad about something that happened in the past. And of course, for the believer, one of the greatest

grief are one of the greatest saddest moments he should have in his life, are the sins that he had committed in the past, and the lost opportunity that he had lost in the past, in where he could have enhanced his relationship with Allah azza wa jal. He said any grieves about these matters. And this would be the greatest regret of a person on the Day of Judgment. The greatest regret on the day of judgment would be the opportunity is that a person had to repent from his sins, to grow in his relationship with Allah to conduct voluntary deeds, and he never done them. That would be a regret for him. And this is why an automatic Bahama Home Allah, considered the highest form of Toba, the

highest form of repentance is to repent, from voluntary deeds that you could have done but you decided not to do out of whatever situation a person had. And he imagined a person standing, not only asking Allah to forgive him from sins that he had done, but he asks Allah azza wa jal to forgive him because he was able to fast a Monday and he didn't. Or he was able to pre select the Sunnah the before and after the prayers and he didn't. Or he was able to read Quran on the specific time and specific date and he could have made this a habit and a routine in his life, but he didn't. So this, if a believer is close to Allah azza wa jal, this brings him to his heart. It brings

sadness and grief, that he lost a moment of closeness to Allah azza wa jal. So, whatever this case may be, whatever this difficulty may be, whatever this anxiety may be, and concern and whatever this grief may be, in the visa Allahu alayhi wa sallam he said,

if a person was to be afflicted by these matters, and then he said Allahumma in the app Dukkha webinar app DECA webinar ametek now sia TB edek melden fie HK Mk. Adlon V acaba oke as Luca we call listening who are like submit the behavior of suck and delta houfy kita avec our lambda who are the main topic always felt the behavioral human labor in the UK and treasurer Alan Khurana or ber Combi when all of a sudden he was yella whose knee was the head of him me. These are the words I'll explain them to and Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam promised anyone who said these words when he experiences in his heart, a moment of sadness or fee or anxiety or stress.

The prophetic promise is in the hub Allah who her mother was know.

Allah azza wa jal would abolish and He will wipe out and he will remove his concern and his anxiety and his sadness and his grief. Allah azza wa jal would remove the pain of that from his life, the worry and the concern may still be there. But the pain for that concern and that worry in that sadness would be removed. Well, then who McKenna who follow her and not only that, not good enough. Imagine the pain of all these worries you had went away and they were sorted. That's good enough. Yet didn't abuse Allahu Allah you wa sallam answer to this another gift, another grand gift. He says what Abdullah who McKenna who follow her and he would replace the

sadness, and this worry and distress, he would replace it with complete happiness and pleasure and excitement and joy. So a person has gone from completely one state of despair and loss to a totally new state and a different state of happiness and excitement.

And then this is when the Sahaba of the Allahu Anhu who said the Rasul Allah, do we have to learn this hadith? Do we have to learn this supplication? He said, Yes, indeed, anyone who is their works, like you have just heard the words of this hadith. He said, of course, whoever he is them should learn it. And I said to you not only memorize it, but learn its meaning. So what I wanted to touch upon

is some of the meanings embedded with this hadith. And the effect of this hadith in removing sadness, and depression, and worry. How does this hadith actually do that? Is it the words of the Hadith or the teachings of the Hadith? And how do we see the effect of this hadith in our life, and the effect of this dua in our life?

My Sisters in Islam,

if you were to take a deep look

at this prophetic dua, you will find that it is made up of four parts. It is made up of four parts. And each part is important for you to have a good grasp of to understand really well and to implement in your life. And each and every single one of these parts, contributes towards

bringing this happiness and excitement and peace and joy in a person in a believers life.

Let's look at the first part. Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said at the beginning Allahumma in the Abduch webinar Abdic What do ametek that's the first part.

Here he said, Allahumma My Lord,

I am your slave in your abdomen, I am your slave, what would you Abdic and I am the son of your sleeve, meaning my father was your slave and I am his son.

What no ametek and I am also the son of your female sleeve, because my mother is asleep to you as well.

So the first part of this

is known as implementing

a toy hate

these awards in which a person is acknowledging and declaring his oneness to Allah assertion.

You are seeing that Oh Allah,

I am your sleeve. My father is your sleeve. My mother is your sleeve. My father all the way up to Adam Alayhis Salam they all sleeves of yours. And my mother, all the way up to Hawa Allah has Salam, O Allah, all sleeves of yours.

I'm asleep. My entire generation is a slave to I've never tasted freedom in my life. I've only known slavery to you.

And I have the most humbled of creation before you. I am in full submission and obedience to

God no Abdic I am a slave of yours in all cases, whether I'm young, whether an old, whether I'm dead or alive, I am still asleep of yours. When I'm being you on your sleeve, and if I happen to disobey you, I am still your sleeve. I acknowledge this matter.

When I'm in good health on your sleeve, and I'm in really weak health, I am also your sleeve. I'm only owes

both myself, and my parents and my wife and everything that belongs to me. We our own sleeves of yours. This is the very beginning of this.

And so when a believer gets his mind around the idea of

oneness to Allah assertion, slavery before Allah,

then the effect of this is that it comes the disturbed heart, it settles the disturbed heart. When a person is bothered

with a worry, or a moment of grief, or anxiety or sadness, depression,

and he busies his heart with remembering his purpose in life. And that is he is a slave of Allah. And he continues to repeat these words and acknowledge this truth

and immerses his heart with this reality.

Slowly and slowly, whatever concerns in becomes to or begins to subside.

And if you were to notice the many prophetic supplications concerning grief and sadness and worry, you will find that the majority if not all the DUA that Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught us

that are a solution to a person, during a time of calamity, you will find that the majority of the prophetic a hadith and dua contain the words La Ilaha illa Allah in them.

If you took the hadith of a smell, bento, Mason the visa Allahu alayhi wa sallam Sr, the words of the one who is in distress is Allah, Allah or Bina who should be Kobe he shall see that Allah Allah Who beat there is no heat in this and acknowledgement that you're a slave of Allah and you worship Allah has solution.

In another Hadith a dua Nabi SallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam he says, The words of the one who is experiencing a calamity and distress is to see La Ilaha illa Allah and our victim will Haleem La Ilaha illa Allah Akbar Laotian of him La ilaha illallah Abu similarity one RB wallop Boon our shield, Kareem, you notice this a lot of la ilaha illallah hinnat. In the recent Allahu alayhi wa sallam he says that the dua of the distress and the one experiencing a calamity is the dua of the noon alayhi salam you will know Salah is set up when he was in the belly of the whale. And he said La Ilaha illa Allah subhana que indican to mean of Bali me, once again He repeated the word La Ilaha

illa Allah. So the idea when you see this da here, and you say Allah who made me up to curb no Abdi Cobb, no ametek you need to realize and understand that this is the exact purpose for why you are created to be that slave of Allah assertion that humbled sleep of Allah azza wa jal.

And so

Allah they say, that the heart of the human being, it was created to fulfill this worship and slavery to Allah. It was created to fulfill slavery to Allah and nothing else. So the more you're occupying yourself, for what the Herb was created, the more you find peace and tranquility in your life, because you are doing that which the heart was created for.

And when you're occupied and you busy your heart with other than what it was created for, it begins to become disturbed. And that's when it becomes unsettled. And that's when a person begins to put the majority of his focus on his calamity, on his sadness, on his worry, on his concerns, on his anxiety, on his stress, and so on.

Even this is the effect, the heart was created for La Ilaha illa Allah, when you use the heart for that which he was created for, and you make that the greatest miracle in your life, there is no more room for other things that are concerning you and bothering you. So they may be still there. They may still be there, but they're behind the curtain. They are not your greatest story. And this is how the pain of these calamities are removed from a person. Allah subhanahu wa taala he said, and I'll be victory law document in noon group. It is only by the remembrance of Allah. And the greatest way to remember Allah is La Ilaha illa Allah, it is with the remembrance of Allah, it is through La

Ilaha illa Allah

in which the hearts find their tranquility and their peace, not immune Kulu as Allah azza wa jal said, such the first part Allahumma in the Abduch webinar Abdic what Binu Antarctic at this is very important for a person to focus upon and ponder over. And of course, in today's day and age, there are many things that distract us from our purpose in life.

And this is why a person needs to spend a lot of his time and a lot of effort perfecting and completing the story in his heart. The greeter the acknowledgement of Allah has its origin in your life, the less and less worries and pains you have in your life. And a person needs to as we said, daily effort and he needs to strive

Have to perfect and complete utter hate in his heart. And when you say hola hola in Nia Dukkha

you're not only seeing that I'm a slave of yours and I acknowledge La Ilaha illa Allah, but are these a person who implements Allah's law and implement Allah subhanahu wa this command in his life? This is what are this, you know, the word Allah rudia worship, it comes from a word that means flatness, Yanni the they would say,

a body body couldn't walk. But if you wanted to describe a flat road or a flat surface, then you say a body couldn't walk, but a road that is flat and smooth to walk over a road that is humble, right? Because something that is flat and smooth and you can walk over it. It's a humbled road study, you could map but so the idea is that the human being without the worship of Allah is arrogant. The human being the father, he steps away from the reality of him being a slave of Allah, he becomes arrogant.

And this is a reality. The further away you are from the worship of Allah, the closer you are to arrogance, Allah azza wa jal when you sit in a room can who either clean and are from La Ilaha illa Allah you stack the rune. Whenever the disbelievers were told, c'est la ilaha illa Allah, acknowledge this reality that you are a slave of Allah. Allah azza wa jal, he did not say they would turn away. They turned away in disbelief. They rejected the word. Allah said they became arrogant, meaning they're turning away and rejection of this word is arrogance. Anyone who leaves out any teaching of Islam, that is because of arrogance. And so the worship humbled a person. You see, when

a person is far away from worship, He is arrogant, he is ungrateful to Allah assertion. He is rough and he is rigid. And the worship as I said to you on a bad day means something flat and smooth and humbled. The worship softens the person, it humbles him, it makes him smooth and flat, so that he doesn't have this arrogance in his heart. And this worship, winning person commits to it.

After having served La ilaha illa. Allah and perfected and strive to perfect the store heat in his heart. That is how relief comes to his heart. And that's how the heart becomes settled from all these calamities and concerns that he has in his life. Even that is the first principle that we find in this hadith. And this dua, when you say Allahumma in the app, do Cobb, no Abdic OB no ametek, you're supposed to immediately understand that it is your to heat, your acknowledgement of la ilaha illa Allah and your worship, that is going to settle that heart and wipe away the pain. So we find out that these are not just words that you say on your tongue, and then your life has no connection

to them. These are words that you're going to see. And then you're going to act by these words. Even if a person wants to fall into disobedience, or sin, you still need to acknowledge that at that very moment. You are still asleep of Allah assertion. Nothing has changed. Sometimes the shaytaan he comes in he disturbs the person to make him think that if you were to disobey Allah, you are not asleep of his, you have removed yourself from the slavery of Allah might as well continue down that path. And that's how a person loses his relationship with Allah azza wa jal. Can you imagine? If you were to, let's say you had clean clothes, and you walked outside with clean clothes, and

some mud came onto your cloth? What are you going to do, you will just get more mud and just paste it all on top of your coat, you won't do that. Rather, you will quickly go and find somewhere to go and wash it. And that's the situation of the believer. Every time he folds into a seat and he blackens his heart with something of the wrong that he did not might as well just blacking the whole thing and keep going down that path. A person needs to quickly look into the situation of his heart. seek forgiveness of Allah azza wa jal and bring it back crystal clean and white as it should be in preparation to meet Allah azza wa jal. So that's the idea of the first part Allahumma in the Abduch

wobbu Abdic wobbu ametek

Then in the beasts Allah Allahu alayhi wa sallam teaches us in this hadith in this prophetic DUA and this is the next part. Now see a TB Edik Mauldin fear hockomock Adlon fie acaba Oke. That's the second part.

Now see a TBD My lord, my four luck is in your hand.

And now sia is the front part of the head of the person. You'll see now see it my lord. My forelock is in your hand, meaning you have complete control over me.

Adlon Melvin fear hook book now then fear hook book. Your decision over me has passed. And I acknowledge this matter. are gluten free Aqaba oak. And your decree upon me is completely just and that's the second part.

Now CLTV Edik melden fee or hockomock I balloon fee Acaba, oak. My forelock is in your hand, your decision over me has already passed and it is whatever you have decreed is going to be a reality and it will happen and your decree upon me is the most just this is the second part. And the second part

is known as an E man who will abort it will cuddle

belief in the Divine Decree. And that's the second metal that will bring peace and tranquility to a person's heart in a moment of distress and calamity and anxiety.

That you believe and you accept wholeheartedly what Allah azza wa jal has decreed for you. And these three statements for the fight this matter.

Will Emanuel Kabbalah believing in the divine decree is one of the six tenants of faith that a person must embrace and believe in order for him to be recognized as a man as a believer in the sight of Allah subhanho wa taala.

And in the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when he answered Jibreel, concerning what Eman is, he said, The Eman is to believe in Allah, His books, His messengers,

the last day the angels and then he said, What minute will Cudahy worship v. And you also have to believe, and you must believe in the divine decree the good and the bad of it.

The quicker a person accepts the Divine Decree of Allah has solution in his heart.

The easier and the quicker relief

and happiness enjoyment would settle in this person's heart.

Whenever a calamity happens, if you reject it, by questioning it, not being pleased, by speaking words, the displeased Allah has solution. Such as, why me? Why did it happen like this? I've done everything that's right. How can Allah azza wa jal do this to me?

I think Allah azza wa jal hates me because of such and such calamity. All these are words displeasing to Allah, and all these words, and this attitude of yours in a time of calamity is weakening your faith

in the Divine Decree, it weakens it. And as a result, a person will remain disturb the concerns and the worries and the grief and the sadness will see upon his heart. They will not go anywhere.

And in fact, you have added calamity upon calamity upon yourself, because you're going through the calamity anyway. So there's immense pain in that. And in addition, you have displeased Allah with that which you've said, that's another calamity added onto your calamity. You're not making the situation easier. And you're going through it. It's not like the calamity is going to be removed. You're going through it anyway. No one can remove it.

No one can abolish it from you, other than Allah assertion. So the idea is, might as well submit to the decree of Allah assertion. You might as well do that wholeheartedly. And you do that by reflecting over these words in this dua. Nelson see a TV adic My lord, my follow up is in your hand. One more he these few words eases for a person to accept the calamity in his life, we will see that your homework is in his hand. So that means he can do what he wants.

And then at the same time you're seeing I don't fee Aqaba oak. Anything you've decreed upon me is just meaning even though you're going through what you're going. At the same time you're acknowledging that Allah is just for what he has done and decreed for you.

This is not Allah's injustice over you. This is not Allah azza wa jal being in jest, Allah azza wa jal is not described as being in just while I have limb or a Buddha that you will know doesn't oppress anyone, even the disbeliever that ends up in the Hellfire on the Day of Judgment, Allah azza wa jal never wronged him. We'll learn from them now who were lacking can or whom have been the meat. And this is why the disbeliever in the in the Hellfire would acknowledge, for our turn off will be them being they acknowledge that this is the only place that befits us now, and we've brought ourselves here by our own actions. So the idea is when you embrace these words of the prophetic

supplication,

during a moment of calamity, it helps ease the pain and the suffering that you are experiencing.

Because you know, that your situation is in the hands of Allah subhanho wa Taala and in no one else's hand. And if you were to accept these words, and accept this other of Allah and this decree that he has decreed for you,

if you do that, at that very moment, your Eman is increasing? Because you have accepted a decree from the decree of Allah azza wa jal, the Eman rises, the Eman increases, it's not the calamity itself. That increases your email. But it's your acceptance of this calamity that increases your email. It's the acceptance of it. And this is why Allah azza wa jal in the Quran. He said about zap. He said, Well, I'm Mara, Munna zap all who have them and what I've done. Allahu wa rasuluh was so doc Allahu Allah, pseudo womanizer. Illa Eman and what this Lima, Allah azza wa jal, he speaks about the believers in El Medina when they were feast my the disbelievers the army that had come from

Mecca 10,000 of them. Imagine that what kind of calamity is that? That's bigger than any calamity you're facing at the moment, because this is a matter of life and death. 10,000 disbelievers are coming towards the Muslims.

And they are small in number. Allah subhanahu wa taala described the believers and the Greek stress and calamity they went through. He said, Well, Bella Kulu will measure that their hurts had reached their throat. Meaning they were shivering and shaking and they were almost about to die from what they had seen in front of them. That's the Greek calamity and stress they were when they went in Allah azza wa jal What did he say? He said, When the believers saw this, and they were terrified, they said to one another, had that now while done Allahu wa rasuluh they said to each other, see this? This is exactly what Allah and His Messenger promised us because this is what Allah promised

did not have symptoms until halogen mathematical method and Lavina Holloman publikum, Mr. toman Betsa or Burroughs zero. Allah azza wa jal, he said, Did you people assume you'll enter the paradise and you will not be afflicted by that which afflicted those before you of poverty and war and so on.

So they said to each other, this is Allah's promise, this this calamity that's come to us now of 10,000 disbelievers ready to take our souls and kill us. This is what Allah promised. Then they said to one another was so welcome Mohammad Rasool Allah, and Allah and His Messenger have absolutely spoken the truth. What was the result? Allah said, what was done in email and what asleep?

And these words they spoke, even though they were terrifying, only increase them in email, and in submission to Allah azza wa jal.

They didn't lose their submission to Allah because of their calamity. In fact, this submission and worship of Allah and their email

I mean, Allah increased. How is that? What increased it wasn't the calamity in front of them? Well, it was the fact that they had seen with their own eyes on Mars promise come to life.

And so, when you're stressed Maya Mata or a calamity, afflict you. And you remember, this is Allah's promise. Allah said, when I blew a nickel Bishi in mineral health, while you were one of seminal am one when unforeseen or Thammarat. Allah said, well, a nebula will not come, we will surely we will surely Most definitely, certainly test you with something of Fi anxiety

and hunger as well. Poverty, loss of business, loss of wealth, loss of lives and so on.

Allah promise this he already promised it. So when it comes in your life, when you remember that moment of sadness and grief, when a calamity strikes, when it's a great concern that you have, this is what Allah promised. What are you surprised about?

Why is the person losing his Deen at that moment? What what has happened to you now that has shocked you to leave your relationship with Allah and your submission to Allah? What has happened? Didn't this what is good? Isn't this what Allah had said 1400 years ago, seems to the that you weren't reading the Quran. You're not reading Allah's promises. Maybe that's why you're shocked. But the one who's aware of this matter,

and he says it through these words.

Now CSTB ebic, my follow up is in your hand, you do what your melden fear hook, whatever you has decreed. Whatever you have decreed will happen, it will happen. There's no change for it. I don't fear Kovach. And then you acknowledge my lord, anything you have decreed for me is perfect wisdom and justice.

That is what begins to settle the heart of the believer. Then I'll give you an example. If you were students at a school, and I walked in at the end of the term, and I handed out exam papers, and I said your exam is now

the student will be shocked. What do you mean, you never told us that we have an exam, we're not prepared for it. And rightfully so they're in great shock. But if I was as a teacher was to say to a month before, I said, students get ready. In a month, there is going to be an exam. I'm going to examine you on all these chapters. By the time that one month comes, no one is shocked. Everyone is sitting there, ready to take on the paper. And they're prepared. No one's got their books with them. Their pen is there and they've memorized what they have to memorize for the exam. And they will write what's the difference between between the two situations. The first one where the students

were shocked, they were not informed. And the other scenario in where they were not shocked, they were informed that the exam will be coming. And similarly of course will enlighten methylone Allah, Allah azza wa jal has already told us of calamities that are going to come and he took an oath and he promised Wally and a blue Omnicom. So the idea is, the believer has to be prepared. He has to be prepared, so that when the test comes, he's not shocked, Allah already told you. So this is the second part of this prophetic supplication, and how it brings immense peace and tranquility upon the heart. Just like those students that were prepared for the exam. They weren't all shocked and their

heart was beating fast. They weren't because they were prepared. And so the believer acknowledges this reality, that the calamities of Allah azza wa jal, and what he has decreed for a person will happen in the manner Allah azza wa jal wants them to be, then his heart will be settled, and it will not be disturbed. And that's the effect of the second part in bringing happiness and joy and excitement upon this believer.

And then at this very moment,

when the calamity comes, of course, a person would know that the worst thing the absolute worst thing you could ever do in a moment of calamity, is leave the worship of Allah azza wa jal and abandoned

under the excuse that I'm waiting for things to get better. And once my heart is ready, emotionally, I will then once again embrace Allah azza wa jal is command, and that is the absolute worst thing you could ever do in a time of calamity might tell you something. When people lose their deed, when people lose their steadfastness upon Islam, the majority lose it in a moment of calamity. No one loses their

Dean when things are going good and healthy as well, when hamdulillah money's there children are all good families all together. No one loses his Deen at times very easy to implement Allah's law at the time. Where is the greeter test when the calamity strikes? And these are moments if you read the message correctly. If you read Allah's message correctly, you will understand that that calamity only came to test your submission. It only came to test your submission to Allah's command. Are you a proper slave of Allah? Well, no, you're just that slave that worships in times of ease and in times of difficulty. I have no clue who Allah azza wa jal is that you fail in the first part of this

supplication that we spoke about being a true slave of Allah subhanho wa taala. So that's the ID of Allah azza wa jal, he said insalata tabon ma sabem in Muslim but in Ellerbee if nila, any calamity that strikes it only happened by Allah's permission. Well, may you mean Billa? Yeah.

And anyone who believes in Allah Salah for him or him Allah, they said, Anyone who believes in Allah, meaning anyone who embraces this calamity, and believes that it only came from Allah, and believes that Allah is the only knowledgeable and wise and he doesn't oppress, concerning this calamity. He believes these realities and these matters. The gift is the conductor who Allah would guide his heart. In the very next day. Allah said what ulterior Allah azza wa jal through your lawsuit, obey Allah and obey His messenger.

There was a commandment of a being Allah and His Messenger immediately after Allah azza wa jal said or spoke about the calamities that affect the person. That's like a reminder from Allah, that do not forget the submission to Allah immediately after a calamity, because this is where you're going to find the peace and the tranquility and the joy that inner peace Allahu alayhi wa sallam promised.

Then the third part of this and the Beast Allahu alayhi wa sallam he said, as a Luca be policemen who wanna submit the BNF sec, O NS delta V kita avec our unlimted who had the minhang cake, I was thought to be if he really mean Vibia InDeck and the V sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Now he says, I asked you, Oh Allah, by every name with which you have named yourself.

And I ask you through every name that you have revealed in your book, and every name that you have taught one of your creation, because there are names of Allah, that up until this day, we don't know that there are names of Allah, that will be taught to the Sun Allahu alayhi wa Salam on the Day of Judgment. Even he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam never knew about them, and he will know them on that day and he will use them and see them to praise Allah has solution.

And I ask you, oh Allah through every name that you have kept hidden in the unseen with you.

Therefore the third matter in this hadith that brings tranquility and peace upon the heart. When a person is experiencing distress, and sadness and anxiety is to know Allah subhanahu wata eyelids names

is to develop and build the relationship with Allah subhanahu wata eyelids names every single name of Allah brings you closer to Allah Azza vision and eases the pain of suffering and calamity in your heart.

And this is why Allah azza wa jal li commended well Illa Hill Esma or SNA for the Ruby to Allah azza wa jal belongs the best of names. So call onto Him through His names

will allow him a home Allah they say, men cannot be legging out of Caramella who

the more a person knows Allah has solution and you can only know Allah through His names and attributes nothing else.

The more a person knows Allah, the more he becomes conscious and aware of Allah the more he feels Allah has solution. So that is the first part. That's the third part to know Allah azza wa jal is names, to research Allah's names, to discover them to study them and to implement them in your life, the names of Allah to be implemented in our life. How do you implement a name of Allah in your life? For example, when you know Allah azza wa jal is Al Halim, the patient, and then you practice patience in your life. You are applying Allah's name in your life. When you know that Allah azza wa jal is Allah alim, the old knowing he's the old knowing and then you commit

Learning and seeking knowledge and learning the Quran and learning Sunita Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Vinu are implementing Allah's Name and alim.

And so learning the names of Allah is not a weekend course it's not a Saturday and Sunday where you gather and you learn the 99 names of Allah. Learning the 99 names of Allah is Allah if long project every single day you are supposed to learn from the names of Allah Association.

And the more as we said, you know about Allah, the more peace and tranquility descends upon the heart. And as a result, this is how the worry, and that stress and the pains of these matters, begin to subside. Because you filled your heart with the names of Allah, there's no room for anything else. If you've made that the greatest concern, the names of Allah, and how to come closer to Allah through His names, and you feel the unoccupied your heart with this matter. There's no more what is the room for what kind of sadness is there room for what kind of anxiety and fear and worry and concern is there in the heart. The People's list of concerns and worries only grows because their

heart is emptied from Allah azza wa jal and emptied from the names of Allah. So they have all time in life, to sit down and think about problems and calamities and worries and discuss them. And think if this happens, and if that happened, what if this happened, and a person loses in that case, and he brought home and brought pain upon himself. Meanwhile, if he was to focus on the needs of Allah assertion, that would have brought tremendous relief upon himself.

You know, as we were discussing in yesterday's lecture about the name of Allah azza wa jal and how they are living, and we said that the people of Medina when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had died, everyone was in complete chaos and panic. This is an event even worse than if your own parents and your own children were to die. Nabi SallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam had died

Amaravati Allahu Allah was prepared to kill anyone who says this worth man would fall onto the ground while he couldn't even speak a word. This is what this was the case of an Medina until Abu Bakr Radi Allahu anhu, ascended, remember, and he said to the people, old people, anyone who used to worship Mohammed Mohammed had died sallallahu alayhi wasallam and anyone who worships Allah, then Allah is the all living that doesn't die. And just just that name of Allah, the old living,

it brought immense comfort to the believers that had just been worried and stressed out about the death of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam they underwent the greatest calamity in life. That is the death of Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and then disturbed, unsettled hurt, settled the very moment the hook the name of Allah and hate the old living.

And this is why even in the vehcile Allahu alayhi wa sallam would see anyone who was afflicted with a calamity, fondly of good Musa who will be, then immediately rush to think about the calamity that struck you when an Elisa Allahu Allah your Salam died. And that should soften the calamity of a person, no matter what you're going through. It's not greater than the fact that in the recent Allahu alayhi wa sallam died. That's the disconnection of a light from the sky to the earth. And lots of calamity happened after this. But the idea is to reflect over the names of Allah assertion, and each and every single name of Allah has a unique effect on the heart and bringing peace and

tranquility and excitement and joy to the heart.

And then a Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, and this is the final matter.

This is the final matter of this prophetic supplication. He said a Luca.

We said, I'm Tasha Allen Purana. Obeah can be one or somebody with money, what the hell behind me? He said, My Lord, I implore you, I beg you. And I asked you, that you make the Quran, the spring and the delight and the joy in the comfort of my heart

and the light of my chest and the remover of my grief and the abolish shock of my worries.

And therefore, the first thing the fourth thing is the Quran in a believers life.

And in the believers life, you notice that in the vehcile Allahu alayhi wa sallam here, he said, My

Lord make the Quran Allah br can be what is Arabia can be. So many the, when they translate the translated the spring of my heart.

You see our beer is two things, number one, or a beer, it refers to the channels of water that come from the ocean. And as a result, they begin to irrigate the land. So there's an ocean. And there's, there's an opening like a lake that streams, that lake, that channel that channel of water is called in Arabic Obeah.

And the purpose of disobedience is to irrigate and give life to the land that's left and right of it. When you see my lord make the Quran, the Robbia of my heart, meaning give me a life in the heart with this Quran, then no Quran is like water that is sprayed on a dead land, give life to my heart, the other meaning of Arabia, when a person is sitting, and he has folded his legs, that sitting is referred to as Taliban Taliban module, they say, if a person sat, folded his leg, then that sitting is called a Robbia. A towel bar. And you know, when someone sits and his leg is folded, meaning he's sitting there for a long time, he's gonna be there for a while. He doesn't intend to move anytime

soon. Unlike if a person was to sit on his knee, for example, he was kneeling, then that looks like a very temporary sitting in where he's ready to get up and move. So that's like one or two minutes and he's gonna get up. But though and that's why in our sujood, in the sitting between the suit, it's on our knees, because it's not intended for a long time. And then we go into Sousou and so on. But the seating of crossing the leg, that implies this person is ready to sit hours. So make the Quran can be meaning make the Quran permanent and settled in my heart, not a matter of Allah just went up on my wall and comes it just crosses the heart and goes away.

Or the Quran is the fact that when I read two or three I had, then that's it. Moving on, make it the labia of my heart sitting permanently in my heart, that sort of Jacobi then he said, we're more or somebody and make the Quran, the light of my chest, the light of my chest, look how beautiful this is. He said,

make the Quran, the spring of my heart. So the Quran is supposed to be the water

of the heart, meaning it brings life to the dead heart.

And if the Quran is in the heart, and no OF THE HEART IS ALIVE, He said, make my chest full of light.

And what does this mean, you know Yanni,

if I had water,

and I went to a garden that was dead, and I began to irrigate this garden and water it very soon, very soon, flowers would grow, roses would grow of different colors, grass would grow, and it would look it will have a beautiful sight a good look to it. So the idea is that if a person's heart has been occupied and filled with the Quran and the meanings of the Quran, then it is only a bit of time before the entire chest of a person becomes full of light. And this light begins to extend to his head and to His words, and to his sight and to hearing and to his feet and all his entire body would become illuminated.

And this is why in the be sallallahu alayhi wa salam would always always teach us the importance of focusing on the heart. And he would say there is a flesh that is in the body if it was upright. If it was upright, the entire body becomes upright how does the heart become upright with the Quran? It becomes upright with the meanings of the Quran. And if the heart was fasted, if it was corrupted and tainted and damaged, then the entire body becomes destroyed. How does a person distort and wreck and destroy his art how? By abandoning the Quran? By leaving out the Quran and neglecting it? neglecting its re citation, neglecting its memorization, neglecting listening to it. Neglecting seeking

treatment through the Quran, neglecting its implementation and pondering over its meaning is now a person neglect to the Quran. Even if a person has neglected the Quran?

How can they be life in his heart? How can they be light in his chest? Then in the vehcile Allahu alayhi wa sallam says was yella whose knee and make the Quran

The abolish the remover of my grief, the remover of my sadness. If a person doesn't have Quran in his life, how is he going to expect that the sadness in his life is going to go? Or the pain of that will subside? How's it going to happen? It will not happen

at the end of the DUA was a herba, HMI and make the Quran, the abolishment of my worries, which is the future matters. Allow the Quran to remove because the Quran tells you about the future. It tells you that the matter is in the hands of Allah azza wa jal. So the one who is properly reading and implementing and pondering will not be disturbed in his heart. If this is the importance of the Quran, in the life of a believer, and that's the effect of the Quran, in removing the pains and the suffering of distress, anxiety, worries and sadness.

And as I said to this is not just words you see on your tongue, how can a person see Oh Allah, meet the Quran, the happiness in the spring of my heart, and at the same time, the Quran that he has purchased is only sitting on a shelf, or only downloaded on his phone with no real connection with it. How is the Quran doing to the happiness of his art he did not say that the happiness

of the heart happens by purchasing a Quran. It happens by engaging with this plan. And as I said to you those five relationships of the Quran that a person reads the Quran and he listens to it as well. Listening to the Quran will have the exact same effect as reading the Quran. Even in terms of hasard reading one letter instead Hassan at listening to one letter is 10 has an Earth as well.

And also seeking treatment through the Quran. Allah azza wa jal he said we're gonna zoom in on Poornima what she fell on what we need.

Yeah, you have no Sukhadia Atmore ever tomorrow become what she fed only Memphis who do. Allah azza wa jal describes this Quran he says, this advice this message has come to you from your Lord. And there is Greek Shiva, there is treatment of the heart when

it treats both the spiritual diseases and physical diseases.

It treats them all. So this is the final matter that has been discussed in this prophetic dua

that brings

comfort to the heart peace and tranquility to the heart. And

of course, the other matter with the relationship with the Quran was to ponder over the Quran and then to implement its teachings. And the thing is, when we read the Quran, the majority of us read the Quran with an incorrect approach the majority of us and so this is why people give up. I've read the Quran once and twice. Why do I have to read it again? Why do I have to memorize it? It's already on the phone. There's easy access to it. What's the point?

And this is because such a person hasn't understood the correct approach of reading the Quran. The greatest reason for why we read the Quran is so that we can source and extract its guidance for us. This is why we read the Quran for guidance for guidance. When you read the Quran for guidance, it is a different experience when you read it for any other reason.

When you read it just to complete it when you read it for 10, Hasselblad Perlita, when you read it because it's Ramadan, and this is the month of the Quran. This is one thing, but the greatest reason for why we read this plan, so we can find our guidance within it. Meaning every area you read should guide you closer to Allah. If you don't have this effect, and this relationship and connection after reading an A or two, then stop and read it again. Don't rush, stop and read it again. Continue to read it until you find guidance within it. And this guidance could be of many of many matters. And if you read an idea about Allah and it increased your love for Allah, that means you have been

guided by this.

If you'd read an area and it increased your total and reliance upon Allah, you have been guided by desire. If you read an ayah and it increased,

it increased your desire for the paradise and as a result you got up and you did a voluntary deed in hopes that Allah azza wa jal admits in this paradise, you has been guided by the eye. That's why we read the Quran.

And if you read up with this attitude, then you will never ever be bored of reading the very same ad multiple times during the day.

Imagine a person read on what a man are writing. And he continued to repeat it, and ponder and reflect over the Mercy of Allah azza wa jal. And then he remembers Allah has kindness and compassion upon him years ago. And he continues to read Allah Manuel Rahim remembering every moment of Mercy Allah has descended upon it. And then as a result, he is moved, he is moved to make a dua through the Name of Allah, Allah, that he bestow more more mercy upon him and admit him into the paradise. You have now been guided by this idea you have pondered over the AI, you have implemented the AI and that's the exact reason for why we read the Quran. And the human being needs to be reminded of these

guidances in the Quran, you need to be reminded, that's why we have to read them, even if they are things that are obvious in your life. You know, why do you do the the

the company Apple? Everyone has either an apple or a Samsung with them. Why does the company why did they find the need? Why did they find the need to spend millions and millions of dollars a year across the globe? To advertise their product? Who's going to figure out their product? Which in your pocket? It's in front of you? Even if you forgot your phone? The first thing to remember is your phone before your children, you run to your phone? Yanni the ID is who's going to forget it. Why are they putting the billboard for? Why are they spending millions of dollars to just put a phone in our face and there's nothing written on the book billboard, just a phone that says new design. That's

it, an iPhone, whatever with its new number, the tip, why yet I'm telling you, even the most simple of things, people are finding the reason and the need to spin to keep it in your face. Imagine in the messages of the Quran. Don't think that the story of Adam and Eve Salaam is something we know and move on to something new, or the story of who does something I know move on to something new. Also at the cafe rune we know so little further how we know and move on to something new.

You're in need of a reminder, you're in need of reading the Quran to remind yourself of the realities that Allah has revealed every single day I need of this.

So that's the ID. This is why we read the Quran for guidance and to remind ourselves of the guidance of Allah assertion. This is not like a book like any other book, guess any other book you read once a Nazi,

a documentary watch once and that's it.

But the Quran, you cannot afford to have the same attitude. If you have the same attitude, this is what happens. The sadness begins to settle on Maha worry, pain, the pain of the stress and the anxiety all this will begin to settle. Why? Because you've chosen to keep away from a earth that would have guided you during these moments.

Imagine in a moment of distress and anxiety. And you read the story of the known Alehissalaam Jonas allihies Salam and how he was ended up in the belly of a whale. And the way it would close its mouth. And he's in there in triple darkness, the darkness of the belly of the whale, the darkness of the depth of the ocean, the darkness of the night, and the whale is moving with him. Technology today you wouldn't even be able to locate him. That's how difficult this calamity was. If he screamed out to anyone, no one could have heard him. Even if they heard him, no one has the tools to save him. Even then, the very first thing he would say, La ilaha illa. And

he's pondering and he's concerned with the vicar of Allah more than he is concerned with his calamity. You think a person like this is feeling pain and bothered by the calamity that he's in?

Clearly not. Because if he was he would have been speaking about his situation. He would have said I'm stuck in the belly of a whale. I don't know what to do in here. When am I going to come out? There's no light in here. Where am I? What's happening to me? What's the next step? He didn't think of this. The first thing he rushed to say was ALLAH the Name of Allah, meaning, his concern with Allah is greater than his concern in his calamity.

And then as a result, this is how and I've this is what we've been speaking about. This is how the pain and the suffering of the calamity would subside. It wouldn't become anything hollows, rather Ulus Alehissalaam takes it further step and this is why I'm saying

Have you read the stories in the Quran? They remind you of this reality. The rim you need the guidance of the iron. You can't afford to say I know the story is good. We'll move on to something else. You need this. Every here and there. Once you read the Quran and you come to it again, it refreshes your understanding refreshes. Your commitment refreshes your knowledge. There is bollock a miss Kitab onehans Allahu La kabul bellicon Balak a miss there is mercy in this they she fell in this, you need to shift out every day.

You can't see and I will I have medicine and I put it on the side. What's it how's it going to benefit you? The Quran is like this. Quran is medicine. You put it on the side and you say I've read it, I love it. Ramadan comes I'll read. You can't afford to do that with medicine. For worldly life medicine, you don't do that with the Quran is medicine. We're all sick. We all need this medicine. We have sicknesses and diseases is in the heart, in our actions in our world, in our behavior, in our attitude, in our dealings with others in our relationship with people. We all have shortcomings, we all have flaws. How is this ever going to be rectified and corrected? How would you be cured from

that? If the Quran is not being taken as a daily dose in your life? That's why in a visa Allahu alayhi wa sallam in this prophetic supplication, he began with a grand start and a grand opening, acknowledging to Allah azza wa jal, I am your sleeve, the son of your sleeve, son of your female sleeve. And then he goes on to say, all my affairs are in your hand, oh Allah I asked you if every name that belongs to in your books and that you revealed and give the prophets and all of these matters. And then at the end, what are you asking for? Please oh Allah make this Quran embedded within my heart and the spring of my heart. We ask Allah azza wa jal at the end of this matter at

the end of this lecture today except for us and forgive our sins and our shortcomings and make the Quran the guidance of our heart

and the remover and the abolish our of our worries and miseries in the holy veliko Todorovic SallAllahu wasallam Opelika ala Nabina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi Germaine
