00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			My dear brothers and sisters,
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			it's my honor once again
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			to welcome you to another episode in our
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			series of duas to cover your day.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27
			And we are still meditating or reflecting on
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			our small Khushnah,
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			the most beautiful names of Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:31
			Ta'ala.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			And today, I have chosen
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			3 of the most beautiful names,
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			Razaq,
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			Al Fattah, Al Ali.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			As I said earlier,
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			we need to invoke and call upon Allah
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:46
			by
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			his beautiful names.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			So you can say, you are yeah. You
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			Allah, You Razaq
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			or Zukna.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:13
			Alimna. So, this is one way of
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16
			interaction with these names and, of course, I
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17
			will also explain,
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			how do we benefit also
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			most profoundly by these names from these names.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			Al Razaq means the provider.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			Al Fata' means the opener.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			Al Ali means the all knowing.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			The name of Rezaq
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			refers to Allah
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			as the provider of his creatures.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			He provides for all of them
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			without him in need of anything from anyone.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:49
			He sustains all of his creatures by providing
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:49
			them
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			with the means and resources
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			that they need.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			Surah 51 verse 58.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			Truly Allah is the provider,
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			the processor of strength,
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			the firm.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			Al Fata,
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			the other name refers to Allah
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			as the opener of the doors
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:19
			to our material and spiritual means and abundance.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			So, You
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:48
			Whatsoever
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			mercy God opens into mankind,
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			none can be told it,
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			and whatsoever he be told,
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			none shall release thereafter,
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:01
			and he is the mighty, the wise.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			The next name is Al-'Aleem,
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			refers to God almighty's
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			omniscience,
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:12
			his perfect knowledge, immaculate knowledge, ultimate knowledge of
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			all things.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			He had the ultimate knowledge. He had the
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			perfect knowledge,
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			past, present, and future.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			So what is our share in these names?
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			How do we benefit from these names?
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			First of all, we mentioned that we call
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			upon Allah
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30
			by
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			invoking
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			his favors
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			using these names
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			as we mentioned earlier. And another point is
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:40
			seeking provisions and favors from Allah alone
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			while putting forth the best of our efforts.
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			We need to go out and work,
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			but still we need to pay to Allah
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:52
			to provide for us because our efforts without
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			his will and power
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			is futile and absurd.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			So we should not be totally
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			relying upon on our efforts,
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:03
			but we should put forth the best of
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			our efforts
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:07
			while calling upon and seeking the blessing
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:10
			and grace of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Number
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			2, we must turn to Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:12
			Ta'ala
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			to open all the cross doors
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			and facilitate
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			ways and means for us.
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:21
			Always, we need to turn to Allah because
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			wherever, whenever,
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			every step of the way, we may find
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			our doors are blocked.
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			So how do we
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32
			call upon Allah,
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			of course, call upon him by saying, You
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			Fata, You Allah.
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			W'Allaah, open the closed door for me and
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			facilitate the this affair for me.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			Seeking knowledge from Allah
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49
			because he alone is our This
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:54
			means that we must read, we must think,
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:57
			we must have write, we must observe, we
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			must do research
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:01
			while also turning to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			The Muslims sign this,
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			like even a sinner,
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:07
			would think and reflect and research
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			and then go to the masjid and pray
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			to raka.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:12
			Even though
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:14
			he is not such a,
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			legal Muslim legalistic Muslim,
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			but, spiritually, he's attuned
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			to turning to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala because
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			he knows, after all,
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			the success of his research
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			is dependent on the mercy of Allah's opening
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			the doors
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			of that knowledge.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			So even though we put for the best
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			of our words, seeking the
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:38
			resources
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			and the avenues and the methods of learning,
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			we need to all we're also open to
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			correction.
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:48
			This is another wisdom we learned from
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			our case callers and scientists
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53
			because whatever theories they formulate,
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:56
			whatever solution they arrive at, they would still
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			follow it up by saying,
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			Allah knows best.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			Because they are
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:04
			they know that
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			they could be open to correction.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			It could be open to criticism.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
			It could be upon your enrollment.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			So we must practice that humility
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:14
			to say
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:18
			Allah, allahu alam, Allah knows better,
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:20
			and we should never be,
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			overly proud of our knowledge
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			because
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:30
			of. Above every knowledgeable person is someone who
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
			knows
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			faster than that. Who is that?
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:37
			Greater in knowledge is none but Allah Subhanahu
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			Wa Ta'ala. Akoolukum LiHada. WASTAAFULLULAYI
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			WALLACOM. WASSALAMU'LAYI WALLACOM. WASSALAMU'LAYI WALLACOM. WASSALAMU'LAYI
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:43
			WALLACOM.
