Ali Hammuda – A Ramadan of change #06 – Remove the roof

			Oh Rama
		

			Rama
		

			Merci, merci.
		

			Welcome Rama,
		

			Rama.
		

			five consecutive verses from chapter two of the Quran surah baqarah have been dedicated to the topic
of Ramadan. What verses are they? I'm going to share them with you. But as you hear the references,
there is something very important that you're going to notice by yourself. So you have verse 183,
rulings about fasting, those 184 rulings about fasting, those 185 rulings about fasting, verse 186,
do
		

			in verse 187, rulings about fasting, it sticks out, doesn't it? It really does stick out. I mean,
the flow of Ramadan related verses are all of a sudden interrupted with the topic of dua, before
then returning to the topic of Ramadan.
		

			So Allah subhanho Tana clearly wants us to spill our hearts out in requests to him during this
month.
		

			This year, however, I would like us to do something a little bit different. Let's learn how to
remove the roof from our DUA
		

			and ask for the unthinkable. Consider the dua of the prophets before us. They went for it without
looking back. They would ask Allah subhanaw taala for things which many of us would just describe as
maybe an impossibility.
		

			Think about the dua of Prophet Suleiman alayhi salam, when he set his ambitions wild. And what did
he say it is to be humbly well, you can lie and not really I didn't mean by the inner can tell Wahab
My Lord, forgive me, and grant me a kingdom, the likes of which will not belong to anyone after me.
Indeed you are the bestow. Allah you can give me this.
		

			And as you just heard, his request wasn't for an average kingdom, but one that would be crammed with
quote unquote, impossibilities. His confidence in Allah was was enormous. So they merge expectations
of Allah was so beautiful. And guess what? Allah subhanaw taala did not let him down and he will not
let down every person who makes dua in this way. So what happened first today, man, what did Allah
give him after this dua? Well, so the man was gifted with prophethood. So behind Allah, knowledge,
sound judgment, control of the wild animals, the animal world in general, the wind, mankind Jin
kind, he wouldn't be given a kingdom that shall never be replicated on planet Earth ever again.
		

			Yeah, Allah. Allahu Akbar. Righteousness, therefore, is not about making humble requests in to
		

			raise your hands this Ramadan. And when you do so, raise the ceiling of your ambitions to a brand
new height as well.
		

			And don't just ask for see ease on the day of judgment, but make Allah subhanaw taala for entry to
paradise without any prior accountability, even if you feel that you don't deserve it and ask for
it. Don't limit your requests, say for example, for Paradise, but big him for the very highest of
extinctions and for losing the top. Even if you feel that you don't qualify for it.
		

			Don't Don't limit your dua for say, the guidance of friends and their guidance of relatives that is
good, but also raise the roof by saying Allah Almighty turn them into revivalists meeting them
reformers even if you really can't see it happening at present. When making dot for yourself, go out
and beg Allah for torrents of eemaan to be released upon you tolerance that will change your
circumstances in life. Change your social media, change your finances in your business, change your
mode of hijab into one that pleases Allah changes your ambitions forever.
		

			This month, every one of us is bowing and prostrating and fasting and reciting hamdulillah but it's
not a man. We want to exercise another act of worship that Allah subhanaw taala loves so much but
it's missing all too often in some of our lives. And that is hosts no one knew biller to display the
best of expectations from Allah to think so high over him. Allah hasn't tapped you and why is it
limited you so call upon Allah as if you are certain of the response as the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam would say and realize that Allah will be just as how you expect him to be. Oh Rama
