00:00:00 --> 00:00:02 
			I saw a little clip
00:00:03 --> 00:00:04 
			on social media
00:00:05 --> 00:00:08 
			of people asking Allah, oh, Allah grant me
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11 
			a g Wagon and grant me a pink
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13 
			bag and grant me something else. Have you
00:00:13 --> 00:00:13 
			seen that?
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17 
			I want to tell you never ever
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19 
			make a mockery of du'a. That's what I
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21 
			want to say. As much as people may
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23 
			have laughed, as much as they might have
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26 
			made a serious du'a, for me, it cannot
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28 
			have been serious when you are videoing it,
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30 
			laughing about it and so on.
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33 
			Dua is one of the highest and greatest
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34 
			acts of worship.
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36 
			I would never have said this if it
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38 
			was not a serious matter.
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41 
			Don't make a mockery of du'a because then
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44 
			you when you're asking Allah serious things,
00:00:45 --> 00:00:45 
			what do you expect?
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48 
			I don't want people to come and make
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51 
			a laughter about something that's a massive act
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53 
			of worship. And people might say, Sheikh, you're
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55 
			taking it too seriously. It's just a joke.
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58 
			Trust me, I have better jokes than that.
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00 
			But they're not mocking at Allah and his
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02 
			Rasool, sallallahu alaihi. Don't I have better jokes
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04 
			guys? Come on. Come on.
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06 
			Should I say 1?
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10 
			I'm fasting, so I'd rather spend the time
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12 
			not saying 1. Come back in December light
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15 
			upon light, and I guarantee you, If I'm
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16 
			there, we give you 1. Right?
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19 
			And by the way, I know it's April,
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20 
			that wasn't an April fools.
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22 
			May Allah grant us ease.
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25 
			So the point I'm raising is, yes, it's
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27 
			okay to ask Allah for whatever you want.
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30 
			No problem. Masha'Allah, you ask. But don't make
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31 
			a mockery of it.
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34 
			Do you get my point? May Allah Almighty
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36 
			give those sisters better than what they were
00:01:36 --> 00:01:36 
			asking.
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39 
			Is that a fair duha?
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41 
			May Allah give them better than what they
00:01:41 --> 00:01:44 
			were asking, and may we we believe inshallah
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46 
			their intentions were good. Nonetheless
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49 
			nonetheless, the lesson is for all of us,
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51 
			don't make a mockery of things.
