00:00:00--> 00:00:16

So Allah itself has four, four elements, right? That I want to talk about. One is, what is die that is sad, in and of itself is one, one element. The second element is almost sad will be he

00:00:17--> 00:00:22

who it is that we're, we're doing a car that with

00:00:24--> 00:00:25

number three is

00:00:28--> 00:01:04

almost save the person, the individual himself who is actually doing it either. And then number four, which is very interesting is Elmo star don't mean who what is it that we are seeking refuge in Allah or what should we seek is the other from, right? So it's the other car that comes from followable, our for tolerable, our allow Are there any ltj il Allah subhanaw, taala, fallible human. So it's the other literally means to seek protection, or to seek

00:01:05--> 00:01:50

refuge, right to to seek a shelter a place that will actually keep you safe from something that could actually bring or cause harm to you. Right? So this is sad. And it's a verbal expression that is founded upon right, a conviction or the state of the heart, that the heart has to really be attached to Allah subhanaw taala and know that, that only Allah Subhana Allah can protect you. So it's statements of verbal expression that we actually do, but actually it has to be founded upon Yaqeen or conviction in Allah subhana without us ability to protect us.

00:01:51--> 00:02:00

Well, Felicity either fall here ltj it Allah Subhana Allah aloo illallah wa Taala boo and I was tolerable

00:02:02--> 00:02:24

Babu al him I mean Allah Allah subhanho wa Taala by men in Musa Adobe up what is who are we see doing is to either to or seek ALLAH. For the believer, there is only one source of protection, that is Allah subhanaw taala. Now,

00:02:25--> 00:02:27

it is permissible to,

00:02:28--> 00:02:32

to, under you know, in some situations

00:02:35--> 00:03:02

it is to use linguistically to use the word linguistically. But you are not supposed to do sad accepting who like the ultimate car except from ALLAH SubhanA Dawn, but in the old classical Arabic, they would use the word if they want someone's let's say, protection, someone's help, they may have used it. So linguistically it can be used. But in reality, I mean in

00:03:04--> 00:03:12

the terminology itself evolved that it should not now be used with anyone other than who? Allah subhanaw taala.

00:03:15--> 00:03:19

Yeah, and he, he ultimately mean Allah Subhana

00:03:25--> 00:03:29

Allah azza wa jal so you can't seek refuge in anyone other than Allah azza wa jal.

00:03:30--> 00:03:34

There was a practice during the days of Jaya Helia

00:03:35--> 00:03:36

where

00:03:38--> 00:03:45

some of these pagans tribes used to seek refuge do is the other

00:03:47--> 00:03:48

Bilgin

00:03:49--> 00:04:19

and Allah recorded that in the Quran. Well, Anna who can Regina Meenal INSIA Oh, leverage Alameen Elgin, Allah subhanaw taala mentioned that there were some humans that used to seek refuge do we see either with some gin So one common practices when they go to a particular valley or a place that is known? They would say we seek refuge right in the master of this valley meaning religion.

00:04:20--> 00:04:37

So Allah said what happened when the when the human these humans did this further ado whom Raha actually the jinn did not provide protection, they actually exploited their fear, and they took advantage of them, and they abused them.

00:04:38--> 00:04:51

Right? So you're handing yourself over. And when you hand yourself over, when you hand your fate when you put your faith or your trust in anyone other than Allah, you will really exposing yourself.

00:04:52--> 00:04:59

The only one who is not going to take advantage of your vulnerability is Allah azza wa jal. Allah wants you

00:05:00--> 00:05:18

Due to acknowledge and realize your vulnerability and be humble, Allah is not out there, you know, to get you if he wants to, he can somehow tithe and nothing is preventing him. But anytime you put your trust or you hand your affairs over to anyone other than Allah, you're really taking a huge risk.

00:05:20--> 00:05:39

Right? And that is why we should not you know, hand put our trust as at least at the spiritual and emotional level in anyone's hand except Allah subhanaw taala. Same thing, by the way, when you also seek asylum when you seek, when you go to seek protection from anyone you're really giving them a lot of authority over your fate.

00:05:41--> 00:05:46

And that is why you should only trust none other than Allah subhanho wa Taala right.

Right allah how many I

00:13:09--> 00:13:11

mean, I've had a couple of infections in my head, no matter if it's at the mercy,

00:13:12--> 00:13:29

of the narrow if it's not enough, there are different, you know, so these are things that the prophets have taught us to seek refuge in Allah subhanaw taala from in addition to that, there are also some occasional some occasions in which the problem teaches us to seek refuge in Allah subhanaw taala such as

00:13:32--> 00:13:38

before that, no before that, before that it's a happy occasion. When you get married,

00:13:39--> 00:13:50

right? When you get married, the browser advises both couples to what to ask Allah for the, for the good, and seek refuge in Allah subhanaw taala from the evil Allahumma in me as

What I would do becoming Sherry, how Cherie mergeable tally, I seek refuge in into you, in you from from any evil, potentially evil, or any, any evil disposition. That you know, because sometimes people you don't know what they're capable of. Sometimes they may not even know what they're capable of until after it's too late.

00:14:15--> 00:14:22

You know, seriously, how many of us knew you know what kind of a husband or what kind of a spouse you're going to be or what kind of a parent you're going to be.

00:14:24--> 00:14:29

There are certain things that I discovered about myself afterwards, sometimes it takes more than one marriage to discover yourself.

00:14:31--> 00:14:37

Now, type, so these are potential things that we should seek refuge in Allah subhanho wa Taala from

00:14:38--> 00:14:39

what

00:14:42--> 00:14:46

also have special occasions is

00:14:47--> 00:14:50

whenever there is severe weather condition

00:14:51--> 00:14:59

there is a severe system right? We're supposed to seek refuge in Allah subhanaw taala whenever there's wind for instance, the process I'm teaches us to seek refuge in Allah subhanaw taala from

00:15:00--> 00:15:14

This wind, you're not supposed to curse the wind or this or any weather condition, you're supposed to seek refuge in Allah azza wa jal from the evil within that weather condition and seek ALLAH subhanaw taala has help to protect you from it.

00:15:15--> 00:15:36

Last but not least, when you are afraid when there is potential harm plot against you, any fee many times Rubik, female Amara FIM and to hovel either half a Coleman, if you're afraid of someone like the brother said the police are

00:15:42--> 00:15:45

You know, isn't it funny Subhan Allah, they're supposed to serve in what?

00:15:46--> 00:15:54

Protect and muscular when they become ianya source of abuse. And, you know,

00:15:55--> 00:15:57

if fear I will see

00:15:58--> 00:16:17

you and a man in the middle there and the icon laflife So the process is I'm teaches us to say that if you're afraid of a specific person, or a specific group of people, or a specific entity, no matter what it is, man HOFA Ohlman my they're called

00:16:18--> 00:16:24

Allahumma in the ADRA obika, you know, Huri him Where are all the week me? Sure or him?

00:16:25--> 00:16:35

Right? Allah, I put you in there. Literally, the word means throats, meaning you, I put you in front of me, you're my

00:16:37--> 00:16:45

you're the one between me and them. What I also be Can I seek refuge in You from their evil

00:16:46--> 00:16:57

for in the hole I Elora. And there are other many things that the prophets I seldom mentioned. When it comes to see either, as I said, this can be really made into workshop because each one of these

00:16:58--> 00:17:00

prayers of prophesy Salam taught us,

00:17:01--> 00:17:18

in and of itself is is a beautiful practice for us to learn. Like, if Can I add one more? Can I add? Well, if you don't mind, I don't want to keep you forever here because I know we had a long day. Someone asked me about physical pain. When you have

00:17:19--> 00:17:29

and I'm dealing with pain myself, you have physical pain, you're supposed to take care of it. And in pursue whatever treatment you can get. But sometimes even treatments cannot help you.

00:17:31--> 00:17:37

There are some some pain that treatments, treatments, maybe helps manage it, but not make it go away.

00:17:38--> 00:17:43

So there is something that I have tried in the past and it's worked and I don't know why I haven't been trying it.

00:17:44--> 00:17:47

I think some of us get used to pain sometimes we like to hold on to it.

00:17:49--> 00:17:55

Allah Subhanallah you know, just saying this because I've been recommending this dua and I haven't done it myself, either.

00:17:56--> 00:18:03

nailhead Allah Inshallah, the DUA is a man complained to the province of Salem about physical pain that he had.

00:18:05--> 00:18:12

Right? And there was nothing that he was able to do to make it go away. So the process that I'm taught him the following,

00:18:13--> 00:18:24

he said, but he had put your right hand, I let the Ulema come and just click on the part or the area that actually where you feel the pain

00:18:26--> 00:18:34

on that sore spot or that place, the rewriter and say, and then you say Bismillah, in the name of Allah.

00:18:35--> 00:18:57

And then you repeat the following there are seven times and it's sad, although there is a delay will cause your Rottie I seek refuge in Allah Subhana Allah is glory or ism, right strength, strength or glory. Lockwood's, Rottie and Allah subhanaw taala is power means shatter the man as you do. Oh, Heather,

00:19:01--> 00:19:05

and I'm afraid of right? Seven times.

00:19:06--> 00:19:48

Although there is Atilla allottee Michelle Reema as you do, oh Heather, seven times.
