			Wallahu aalamu bi aadaikum
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:03
			wakafabilahi
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:04
			waliyyan
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:05
			wakafabilahi
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:06
			nasirah.
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:10
			What is the meaning of it? Wallahu aalamu
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			Allah knows best
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			who your enemies are. That's what the verse
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			says. You don't even know your enemies. Sometimes
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
			they are close around you, near you. They
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			have access to you. They're in a circle
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			that you think is your circle, they're your
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:24
			enemies.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			In
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			fact this verse I was saying,
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			Allah knows best
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			who your enemies are.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			Sufficient is Allah as a protector and sufficient
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			is Allah as a helper. To whom? To
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			me. That's the dua.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			That's a verse of the Quran.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			Is it not worth learning these verses?
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			Something simple.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			Insha'Allah we learn them.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			Hasbiyalah.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			Allah is sufficient for me. That's what we're
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			saying.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			Allah is sufficient for me.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			Hasbi Allah hula ilaha illahuwa
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			alayhi ta wa kaltu wa rabbular
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			shilawdhim.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17
			Allah is sufficient for me.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:21
			There is none worthy of worship besides him.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			I lay my full trust on him
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			and He is the Lord of the great
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			throne. That's the dua you are saying.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			Another dua, HasbunAllahu
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			Waniemalwakeel
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			Allah is sufficient for us and he is
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			the best disposer of our affairs.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			That dua was actually said
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			when
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam,
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			the companions
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			were told that there is an army coming
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			to attack you.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			And the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:02
			made this dua. The same dua was read
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			when Ibrahim alaihi wasallam
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			was thrown into the fire.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			When he was thrown into the fire the
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:12
			fire became cold. Meaning the fire became a
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			means of his
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			release.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			You know what the narration actually says?
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			It says
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			that Allah instructed the fire
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			to be a means
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			of peace
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			for Ibrahim,
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			alaihis salam.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			So when he was thrown into the fire
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:32
			tide,
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:37
			the fire actually burnt the ropes and the
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			shackles but didn't touch him.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			So he was released.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			What was the dua he made as he's
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			being thrown? He didn't quit his deen.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			He said,
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			Allah is sufficient for me. He is the
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			best disposer of my affairs. He will take
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			care of me. Say that dua.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			Repeat it on a daily basis. What I'm
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			teaching you today,
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			powerful gems wallahi
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			to protect you.
