That's a powerful dua. O Allah, make beloved
to us Iman. Make it good to us.
Your belief, the belief we have in you
and what is permissible, what is,
obligatory. Make us love it, O Allah, and
make it difficult for us to sin. Make
it very hard and detested for us to
do anything that is going to be displeasing
to You. That dua was made by Muhammad
Surely we should make it. Listen to this
What a beautiful dua. O Allah,
make beloved to us Iman. And Iman includes
everything to do with Allah's instruction and so
on. Make it beloved to us
and beautify it in our hearts.
You know, when you fulfill salah in the
morning and your face and your expression is
so negative and your children are watching you
lazily opening one eye and then quickly finishing
your salaam, dashing into the bed. That's not
the ideal way of doing things. The ideal
way, get up, wash up, put a droplet
of perfume. Make sure that that perfume is
not one that irritates the people around you.
Because nowadays you have perfume that smells like
mango pickle and people think it's so beautiful,
yet everyone's getting a headache with it. May
Allah protect us.
Have something good, a droplet for the sake
of Allah. And then you
and you're enjoying your salah,
and you have a smile on your face,
and you take it easy. It's not just
and
in every salah. That's not how it should
be. Some of us, that's what we do.
First thing.
Allahu Akbar. Your salah is done, I agree.
But you can do better than that. Memorize
another surah or 2. You know, diversify.
Go beyond. Start swimming in territory maybe you
haven't. When it comes to recitation of the
Quran and memorization of it, see what it
will do to you. You are preparing for
the day you're going to die. You're preparing
for the day you're going to meet with
Allah. I want to tell you something. Well,
let me first translate the rest of that
dua.
Allah
has taught this to us through the blessed
lips of Muhammad
Make detested for us disbelief that will earn
your anger.
Anything that is
sinful, make it detested, detested, make it difficult.
Oh, Allah, create a barrier between me and
sin. You really want to do something and
suddenly there is a barrier that stopped you
from it. That was Allah telling you, don't
do this. It's not worth it.
