To seek forgiveness of Allah is something that

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

is the starting point. When you want to

00:00:04--> 00:00:07

ask Allah something, the closest you can ever

00:00:07--> 00:00:08

be is sujood,

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

prostration.

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

The closest that a slave can ever be

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

to their Lord is

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

in the condition of prostration.

00:00:19--> 00:00:20

Now I was telling you between the two

00:00:20--> 00:00:22

prostrations we say Rabbirli.

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

Do you know that dua? You're supposed to

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

be making a dua at different times, right,

00:00:29--> 00:00:31

in your prayer. One of them is between

00:00:31--> 00:00:32

the two prostrations

00:00:32--> 00:00:34

in some of the schools of thought it's

00:00:34--> 00:00:36

actually mandatory and some of them it's not

00:00:36--> 00:00:39

mandatory. But what is the dua? The dua

00:00:39--> 00:00:40

is rabilfirli.

00:00:41--> 00:00:43

That's the simple part of it. A simple

00:00:43--> 00:00:45

way. You could say a slightly longer dua.

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

The point I'm raising is, oh Allah forgive

00:00:49--> 00:00:51

me. I went down prostrated. I said, Subhanahu,

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

Rabbi Allah, You are the greatest, O my

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

Lord. Glory be to the One who made

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

me, the One who is in control of

00:00:57--> 00:00:59

every aspect of my existence. And what are

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

we saying? You are the highest. Come up

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

from sujood. You say, Allahu Akbar and say,

00:01:04--> 00:01:06

Rabbir Fili, O Allah forgive me. Who is

00:01:06--> 00:01:08

going to forgive you? The one who you

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

just described in your sujood. And then you

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

Amazing.

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

Amazing.
