Mufti Menk – A Powerful And Easy Supplication

00:00:03 --> 00:00:06

That's a powerful dua. O Allah, make beloved

00:00:06 --> 00:00:08

to us Iman. Make it good to us.

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

Your belief, the belief we have in you

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

and what is permissible, what is,

00:00:14 --> 00:00:17

obligatory. Make us love it, O Allah, and

00:00:17 --> 00:00:20

make it difficult for us to sin. Make

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23

it very hard and detested for us to

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

do anything that is going to be displeasing

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

to You. That dua was made by Muhammad

00:00:29 --> 00:00:32

Surely we should make it. Listen to this

00:00:45 --> 00:00:46

What a beautiful dua. O Allah,

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

make beloved to us Iman. And Iman includes

00:00:50 --> 00:00:53

everything to do with Allah's instruction and so

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55

on. Make it beloved to us

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

and beautify it in our hearts.

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

You know, when you fulfill salah in the

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

morning and your face and your expression is

00:01:02 --> 00:01:05

so negative and your children are watching you

00:01:05 --> 00:01:08

lazily opening one eye and then quickly finishing

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10

your salaam, dashing into the bed. That's not

00:01:10 --> 00:01:12

the ideal way of doing things. The ideal

00:01:12 --> 00:01:15

way, get up, wash up, put a droplet

00:01:15 --> 00:01:18

of perfume. Make sure that that perfume is

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

not one that irritates the people around you.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

Because nowadays you have perfume that smells like

00:01:23 --> 00:01:26

mango pickle and people think it's so beautiful,

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

yet everyone's getting a headache with it. May

00:01:28 --> 00:01:29

Allah protect us.

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

Have something good, a droplet for the sake

00:01:32 --> 00:01:33

of Allah. And then you

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

and you're enjoying your salah,

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40

and you have a smile on your face,

00:01:40 --> 00:01:43

and you take it easy. It's not just

00:01:44 --> 00:01:45

and

00:01:45 --> 00:01:48

in every salah. That's not how it should

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50

be. Some of us, that's what we do.

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55

First thing.

00:01:56 --> 00:01:59

Allahu Akbar. Your salah is done, I agree.

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

But you can do better than that. Memorize

00:02:01 --> 00:02:04

another surah or 2. You know, diversify.

00:02:05 --> 00:02:08

Go beyond. Start swimming in territory maybe you

00:02:08 --> 00:02:10

haven't. When it comes to recitation of the

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12

Quran and memorization of it, see what it

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

will do to you. You are preparing for

00:02:14 --> 00:02:16

the day you're going to die. You're preparing

00:02:16 --> 00:02:17

for the day you're going to meet with

00:02:17 --> 00:02:20

Allah. I want to tell you something. Well,

00:02:20 --> 00:02:21

let me first translate the rest of that

00:02:21 --> 00:02:22

dua.

00:02:23 --> 00:02:24

Allah

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

has taught this to us through the blessed

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28

lips of Muhammad

00:02:33 --> 00:02:36

Make detested for us disbelief that will earn

00:02:36 --> 00:02:37

your anger.

00:02:37 --> 00:02:38

Anything that is

00:02:39 --> 00:02:41

sinful, make it detested, detested, make it difficult.

00:02:41 --> 00:02:44

Oh, Allah, create a barrier between me and

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46

sin. You really want to do something and

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48

suddenly there is a barrier that stopped you

00:02:48 --> 00:02:51

from it. That was Allah telling you, don't

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

do this. It's not worth it.
