To seek forgiveness of Allah is something that
is the starting point. When you want to
ask Allah something, the closest you can ever
be is sujood,
prostration.
The closest that a slave can ever be
to their Lord is
in the condition of prostration.
Now I was telling you between the two
prostrations we say Rabbirli.
Do you know that dua? You're supposed to
be making a dua at different times, right,
in your prayer. One of them is between
the two prostrations
in some of the schools of thought it's
actually mandatory and some of them it's not
mandatory. But what is the dua? The dua
is rabilfirli.
That's the simple part of it. A simple
way. You could say a slightly longer dua.
The point I'm raising is, oh Allah forgive
me. I went down prostrated. I said, Subhanahu,
Rabbi Allah, You are the greatest, O my
Lord. Glory be to the One who made
me, the One who is in control of
every aspect of my existence. And what are
we saying? You are the highest. Come up
from sujood. You say, Allahu Akbar and say,
Rabbir Fili, O Allah forgive me. Who is
going to forgive you? The one who you
just described in your sujood. And then you
go back to another sujood. SubhanAllah.
Amazing.
