			Sometimes when we make dua,
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:13
			we make like a half hearted dua. Maybe
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			make dua,
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			but
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			I'm not 100%
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			sure, or I don't have full certainty that
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			my Dua will be accepted. So it's a
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			half hearted Dua.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			From the means of getting your Dua accepted
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			as the prophet
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			is that a person, he's
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			He is He has certainty when making that
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:32
			dua.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells in the Quran,
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			that which Allah can give you is not
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:40
			restricted.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			It is only us. We have that lack
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			of belief with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:48
			Rather, we should believe anything that we ask
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			to change our fortunes. We might be poor.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			We might have no money. We might have
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			issues in with our parents or maybe with
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			our wives and our kids. To ask Allah
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			that Allah will change it straight away.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			If Allah wants something, he says, be and
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			it becomes.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10
			So make this a day, brothers and sisters,
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			when you see this opportunity of making Dua
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			for everyone.
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			Not only yourselves, but even for other people.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			The prophet, Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Salam, he told
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			us,
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			when the person he makes dua for his
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:27
			brother
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			in his
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			absence. Like, for example, someone's away. He's in
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			another country, and I'm making dua for him
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:33
			in his absence.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			The Prophet told us in
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			Every time he makes the dua, he says,
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			the malaika says the with him. And for
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			you, you get the same thing.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			In the English language, they have a method,
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			they say a statement, you're killing 2 birds
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			with 1 stone.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			You're making dua for yourself, and you're making
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			dua for that person. There's always one dua.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			So by you making dua for that person,
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			you're making dua for yourself as well. And
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			the Muslim Ummah is in dire need.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			I don't need to tell you what's going
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			on in places like Syria and other places
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:12
			where the Muslim Ummah is suffering. Some people
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			they don't even have food to eat. They
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:16
			don't have drinks. You know, let alone being
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			able to go and eat in restaurants and
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:21
			etcetera. So brothers and sisters, use this as
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			an opportunity to make the dua.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:23
			After that,
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			another point, it is from the sunnah of
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			on the day of Arafa,
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			and you'll find that a lot of Ikhtila
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			Faz argumentation
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			and disputations take place on this day of
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			how much we need to pray.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			If you go to Sahir Bukhari,
