My dear respected elders and brothers,
we are in the last jumah of this
present Ramadan.
It has been a Ramadan that went
very peacefully
and great blessings
in our communities.
May Allah accept
the
and the efforts of the and the believers.
And may Allah
accept everyone's efforts, and may Allah forgive our
shortcomings
in not understanding the true worth of Ramadan.
It is Ramadan.
In this particular regard,
I just want to before I speak on
the topic that I have chosen,
I just want to alert the people with
regard to.
Is watching,
and it is very important that we
conclude, and we give the before
Eden.
That give the it has two purposes.
One is that it wipes away
the weaknesses of your guna. I mean, of
your soul and your fasting.
And the second thing is it provides
some joy and food for the poor people
on the day, and the Mubarak and blessed
day of Eid. So 2 very important
objectives with regard to.
So this is an important point that we
need to do before
the end of Ramadan.
Today, the ayat that I have recited before
you, it is to do with dua.
Allah
tells us about the power of du'a.
We have few more days, my dear respected
brothers. It is important that we try our
utmost
to maximize
our time that we have before the end
of Ramadan.
Every day
in Ramadan,
there's an accepted dua for the fasting person.
Every day.
Every day, there is a dua that Allah
in Ramadan. Allah
accepts.
Is the essence of.
With without
it,
we cannot succeed.
What without
with with making dua, we will always succeed.
Without it, we cannot fail. So this is
something that we have to keep in mind
that with dua, we will always succeed. If
we don't do dua, we will fail. So
therefore, it's important that we keep in in
mind
the importance of dua. Dua is the first
and the last resort of the believer.
The Quran with dua.
The first chapter in the Quran is about
dua. We're asking
to show us the right path. And then
the entire Quran
is an explanation
and interpretation of the dua.
So this is dua. All our efforts with
regard to it comes in between the first
and the last.
So the first thing is our in the
beginning.
Dua in between is our efforts which we
will have to make.
And
were the days of ignorance. One of the
aspects with regard to the days of ignorance,
that they never used to make dua. They
never knew the value of dua. How could
they know the value of dua
when they never knew the power of almighty
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
So there
was a wrote a book, the prophet of
almighty Allah in the mirror of his supplication.
So in this, right, that the people in
the days of ignorance never knew how to
make dua because they never knew the power
of Allah. Nabi
first showed us the power of Allah.
So Allah
makes mention
He created the heavens and earth and whatever
is between the heavens and earth in 6
days. In 6
days.
To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens,
whatever is in the earth, whatever is between
the heavens and earth.
Earth.
It is equal to almighty Allah.
Whether you do something, you you whisper something,
you do it in broad daylight, You do
it in the darkness of the night.
He knows the treachery of your eyes. He
knows what your hearts can see. Subhanallah.
Now when we know the power and the
greatness of almighty Allah, then we know why
we have to ask from almighty
with such eloquence,
with such beautiful words
that can only be the words of a
prophet which is a miracle
of.
Just give you one example.
One example I give you. Nabiya Kareem saw
a man to die. Nabiya Kareem saw a
woman is stoned. Nabiya Kareem saw a woman
is wounded. And then Nabiya Karim salalahu alaihi
wa sallam comes to rest, and he lifts
up his hands in dua.
You Allah,
every word in that dua
is full of wisdom.
Oh, and I complained to you about my
weakness, about the feebleness of my efforts.
I could not be able to show them
the beauty of Islam, which I had and
my companions have. But I have not been
able because of my weakness, been able
to to explain to them. I have complained
to you about my weakness.
Oh oh, the most merciful of those who
show mercy.
You are the lord of those who are
weak.
You are the lord of those who are
weak.
You
are my lord.
Oh Allah, who have you entrusted me to?
Do you put me in entrusted my affairs
to my enemies who have control over me?
Allah look at what they have done And
then look at our beloved Nabi al Kareem
said,
I got no worry if you are not
angry with me.
They have done whatever they have done. But
if you are not angry with me, I
have no concern.
Although, look at the words of Nabi
but
How did you have appreciated the and the
ease? If they would have been eased, it
would have been better. But after what they
have done,
if you are not angry, I have no
concern.
Look at the words. In what do I
read? You know, sometimes you think now we
all know that pride is a very major
spiritual disease,
you know. So yet at the same time,
every person has a certain degree of respect.
How did
bring these two things together?
Oh, Allah, make me insignificant
in my own worth.
Make me insignificant
and make me great in the among in
amongst people. Give me respect amongst people. Who
but a Nabi
can make this, you know, such complex
attitudes?
Who but a Nabi of Allah can put
these 2 complex things together in one dua?
Now, one of the reasons why people, you
know, stay away from Dua is for various
reasons. One is people stay away from Dua
and that Dala is very far
So Allah
makes mention of it in the second of
the holy Quran. He came to Nabi Karim
sahaba.
Tell us is Allah Ta'ala far that when
we speak, we must speak loudly. When we
make dua, we must make dua loudly. Oh,
tell them I am very close.
I will respond to their prayers and their
duas when they make
I will respond positively. I will accept.
Let them bring iman upon me.
That I can guide them upon the right
path. One of the reasons that we also
make dua, and that is that only Allah
can fulfill our wishes. Only Allah
can remove the difficulty.
Is there anyone who can remove your difficulty?
Is it anyone besides Allah who can do
so?
Whosoever you worship and whomsoever you ask besides
Allah
Allah in the 17th makes mention of their
weakness.
They can't create a fight flight.
Or When and if the flight takes something
from someone, from any human being,
no matter how big he is, they can
be the president. The flight takes something from
someone. He can't retrieve it.
Very weak is the one who ask from
such people besides Allah. And very weak are
those people whom you ask of besides Allah.
Ask
for risk.
He is the best of people who who
gives and he is the best of providers.
He is the best of sustainers.
We ask
for everything.
We ask
for everything.
There is nothing big for Allah.
There's nothing great for Allah.
To Allah,
you know,
If Allah wants to give, Allah can give
whatever he wants. There's nothing big for, my
dear Allah. Allah can give the whole world
and whatever it contains. It means nothing to
all, my dear Allah. Allah can forgive. Yeah.
Allah, sometimes you think that
what they were the ones
who used to worship idols.
There were
360
idols.
They were the ones who were people of
people of
Zamani Jahir.
There were people who were puts the 360
items in the cover when wanted to give
them.
He made them the ins the motivation
and the inspirers of the entire.
People who used to worship, people who used
to kill their daughters alive.
Today, they became.
So
Allah wants to give, and there's nothing small
for us.
There's nothing small for us.
Said, even if your shoelaces break,
ask
to
take
a.
Because if stops you, you won't be able
to tie your laces.
So this is ask
for everything, and
loves dua. The one who does not make
dua, Allah gets angry with him.
Who does not ask from almighty Allah? Allah
becomes angry.
If you ask from someone,
he gets angry.
Someone ask, even if he's needy, even if
it's your family,
he ask once, twice, thrice, you will give.
After the 4th time, you will also be
weary.
He comes, you take another route.
He comes, you take another route. And you
will say, now he's coming again.
This you know, we will start saying
He came back again now. He keep
How much he's gonna ask? Allah says, you
don't ask me, I get angry.
Tell unto the people, oh prophet of almighty
Allah. Let them ask me.
I will reply. I will respond.
And whosoever shows arrogance
in asking from me, on making my
I will put them in.
One of the greatest things of a human
being.
The greatest rebelliousness of human being that he
feeds himself independent from
And if you don't ask Allah, it shows
independence, and
if you don't ask of me, I will
put you in Jannah. So
ask of Allah. Yes. We do adopt our
means.
Doesn't give you without means.
I give this
is a very, you know, important
and a very, you know, good example to
give. Now, this person is a Sufi. Now,
he wants to, you know, he wants pious
children. He wants people to follow him and
he heard that a person When a child
child, you know, becomes pious and he makes
dua, then the rank of the parents becomes
more, you know, elevated.
So he's making dua now. And he's sitting
in a masjid. Yeah, Allah. Give me pious
children. Give me pious
children. If he doesn't get married, where is
Allah give him the children from? From his
own stomach.
So before you do anything together with it,
you must make them means.
Now there's one beautiful hadith with regard to
conditions.
If you want Allah
to accept your duas in difficulty,
then make dua to almighty Allah in peace.
Don't only make dua in the time of
difficulty.
When when the people a person is in
difficulty, he's making dua and while sleeping, while
sitting, while lying down. Sometimes it becomes such
a situation, you see a person in a
merchant, all of a sudden I say, hey,
That's
why you see me in a masjid. I
mean, then
difficulty goes, you don't fit you forget
the. Maybe a dream source and said, you
want Allah to accept your duas in difficulty?
Ask Allah in ease.
And brothers, one one of the things I
have made mention that we must always ask
with conviction.
Doesn't accept the person
who asked
in a careless way.
Many of them, what's a I made mention
of this particular
someone read a poem in front of
Oh, Allah, if you forgive me, I'm happy.
I'm fortunate.
If you don't forgive me, I am happy
with whatever decision you make.
So independently, you're asking of Allah. How can
you ask, and how can you say such
a poem?
He said change the poem.
All life, you forgive me.
I am fortunate. If you don't forgive me,
I will try in front of you.
Then why haven't you
But why did this particular situation
has come in your decision that I am
not forgiven? I will cry in front of
you. I made mention of this many times.
You know, this is such an amazing incident.
Sheikh,
as we've mentioned, a person used to make.
For 30 years, he made.
After 30 years, he heard it. You know,
one day he heard a noise, and he
had an unseen voice.
You didn't make Ibadid properly,
and your Ibadid is not accepted. Your is
not accepted. 30 years.
So he continued making and he made mister
Hajjub. First day, he heard the voice. 2nd
day, he heard the voice. 3rd day, he
heard the voice.
Then the hadim who was putting the water
to and he was putting the water for
If didn't accept for 30 years, what
Why do you get up in the early
hours of the morning to make and come
all the way from far to come make
or to come make? Why must you do
so?
To get past for my needs.
Is there any other door that we can
go? And then they say the voice changed.
The voice changed.
Now it said, although you are not worthy,
but because of this one statement of yours,
there was no one worthy of asking for
but Allah because of that Allah accept that
you are 50 years of your life.
Allah definitely accepts my dear respected brothers.
5 ways of how accepts was in this
very same.
Somehow it remains in my memory.
Abu Hurairah said the way Nabi saw a
salam said it, I felt
was going to accept. I ran home,
to see which who goes first. Who reaches
1st? The door of the resource will reach
1st. Or do I reach 1st?
I knocked on the door. My mother said,
wait, my son.
Wait, my son. She was making.
The way she said it, the sweetest with
which she said it made me realize
the dua reached before I came home.
Immediately.
Sometimes it happens after a delay. Sometimes it
happens after a delay.
We must make the same dua for the
spirits of today.
Allah destroy them. It will happen, but we
don't happen according to our time frame.
So we accept that.
It happened after 70 years
destroyed.
Other side. Up to 70 years, the same
thing what happened to these pharaohs of this
woman. I mean, the pharaohs of this time
Allah will destroy them one day. It will
happen on his time. A little light will
happen one day. We make it must happen
sooner. Sometimes it takes time. I will just
You know, today is last Friday, so just
give me 1 or 2 times. I said,
gives a very amazing incident. You see, one
Pakistani person went to Germany and he got
married to a German woman. She was not
a Muslim. And he said, he continued living.
He never worried about his imani. He forgot
about everything. The time the children came, now
the mother is bringing the children to teach
teach them Christianity.
And
the father now all of a sudden,
the head of his iman came away. How
can my children, you know, learn another religion?
And he's insisting they must learn Islam, and
both of them are fighting.
Right? And then he wrote the letter to
said, I wrote to them and said, every
day, both of your husband and wife make
dua.
That, oh, Allah, whatever is right,
whatever is a true religion,
you give us the ability to follow that
religion.
He said, every day,
the husband and wife, the husband Muslim,
the wife non Muslim, they They used to
make this duaq.
Right? And one day, he said, alright. He
write he wrote a letter. He wrote a
letter to move to Turkey. He said, one
day, we were going.
All of a sudden,
my wife was driving. She stopped the car,
and she started crying.
She started crying.
So I said, why are you crying?
She said,
the Dua
has had an impact. I've come to realize
Islam is a true religion.
Even in this age
even in this age, making dua, oh, let
us show us the right path
And let Allah give a diet.
You know? So it can happen. Sometimes a
letter takes time. Sometimes Allah
sometimes you make a dua, Allah
gives you something better.
Give you something better. Give you something better.
The children came and said, it is a
time for holiday. We want to go and
go for holiday. We want to go to
Thailand. We want to go to prepare us.
So, okay, I know it's holiday time. I
want to take you something. I will take
you for Umrah.
So they ask you, you gave them something
better. Sometimes, actually, what happens?
You you make dua because of the dua
you made. There was a calamity coming your
way
because of the dua, remove the
So sometimes you make dua. You're making dua.
Allah give me a Mercedes. You Allah give
me this. Give me that. Allah says leave
that Mercedes. There's a greater calamity coming your
way. I have removed the difficulty.
And the 4th way Allah accepts dua
is that on the day of, Allah will
call human being and say,
you made this dua, you made this dua,
you made this dua.
I want to give you the reward with
regard to it. I didn't accept it in
the dunya. Now I want to give you
the reward. When Allah gives the person the
reward, the human being will say, oh, Allah,
if only you didn't accept any of my
duas, and you only gave me the reward
in the.
After. Five ways Allah accepts dua's. So what
Allah says
this is what Allah means. So in this
last few days, let us, you know, start
going towards
for
various needs.
