Mufti Menk – Supplications Series 2018 EP11

			Salam alaykum. warahmatullahi wabarakatuh Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam O Allah
Abdullah he was truly Muhammad Allah Allah He was happy when we praise Allah subhanho wa Taala we
send blessings and salutations upon Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, his household, his
companions, we ask Allah to bless them all to bless every one of us to grant us goodness, and to
have mercy on every one of us. I mean, my brothers and sisters, the Prophet Musa alayhis salam or
Moses May peace be upon him called out to Allah many times during his life. Some of these are
mentioned by Allah subhanho wa Taala. In the Quran, some of them are mentioned by Muhammad
		

			sallallahu alayhi wasallam in the Hadith, we went through one of the two hours or two of them when
he had arrived in Meridian In the previous episode, and today, I'd like to go through another of the
beautiful two hours of Musa alayhis salam that is so powerful that every one of us actually needs
throughout our lives. It is a dua mentioned in Surah Taha, a supplication mentioned in the chapter
known as baja in the Quran, verse number 25. Allah says, Allah rubbish. Li solidary ysc li Emery
		

			Lisa Neff Coney. The term Carla at the beginning in Arabic means he said so if you were to use these
words to call out to Allah with you need to drop the Allah so it is rubbish rally sadri were silly.

want to be eloquent? You want to be able to come across in a way that the people can understand what
you're saying? wailuku datamine lasagna Coco Lee Ola, untie the knot. Now Musa alayhis salam had
		

			literally a knot it used to. or It is reported that he had a stammer a little bit of a stutter. And
he made a dua to Allah Oh Allah, you are sending me to the Pharaoh, I need to talk to him. You are
asking me to convey your message. I need your help because I stutter. My brothers and sisters I want
to draw your attention to something amazing miracle. In most cases of those who stutter when they're
reading the Quran, there is no stutter. It's just amazing. It's a miracle of Allah subhanho wa Taala
in most cases, in some cases still happens. But those who struggle speaking sometimes and they
happen to stammer, stutter etc. They have a problem with, you know, saying the first word the first
		

			few words when it comes to the Quran the Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen
rukmani rahmanir rahim you would never imagine that this person has a problem speaking. That's a
gift of Allah subhanho wa Taala. Because it's the message of Allah. It's the words of Allah,
especially when you understand the Arabic language but even for those who don't. So when you're
speaking with the words of Allah, Allah makes it easier for you to convey the message because that
message belongs to the owner of creation. So panela this is Musa alayhis salam. What did he say to
Allah Oh Allah, you sending me to the pharaoh? Well, I want you to, you know, clear my chest. And
		

			like I said, clearing the chest here would refer to many things, but it refers to confidence. It
refers to something we all need, you know, I don't want to be nervous. I just want to have a clear
chest I know and so on. And I want you to make this affair easy for me a fair meaning what you've
tasked me with the this thing I want you to make it easy for me. This do all my brothers and sisters
you can apply it and use it in nearly everything that you are doing. You start off your lecture, you
can read the do app, you will want to start off something at work you read the app, you want to
start off you speaking to someone you read the data, you have something to do you read the data, you
		

			have a task you read the rubbish rally sadly, while you're silly Emery wailuku data melissani Yahoo.
Kohli and Allah gave that to him. Allah subhanho wa Taala gave it to him But there is another
		

			Part of the doodad that we may not call out to or we may not be calling out to Allah with because we
don't have a brother called Harun, but I want to show you Musashi Salaam who had a brother called
Harun. By the way I do have a brother called heroine Mashallah Baraka Allah. But what I make mention
of here is
		

			Allah, Allah says that Musa alayhis salam called out to him even beyond that, he says, what your
alley was here on Main alley, you know, let me have someone with me, from my family who can assist
me Haruna he my brother Harun, send him with me, you know, you're asking me to do something. But let
me draw the help of my brother Harun tasked him as well with me, who should be as real actually Kofi
Emery, you know, and let him
		

			you Oh Allah, strengthen me through him being with me and let him come and take part in this affair
of mine so that we can both declare your greatness and glorify you and remember you a lot for indeed
you are watching what we are going through and you know, after that what Allah says, and this is
something that brings tears to the eyes again,
		

			Karla cada uno de Luca Moosa wala cada Mannan la cama Ratan.
		

			He says oh Moosa, we have given you what you've asked amazing This was almost instant with Mashallah
salami saying Oh Allah, open my, my, my chest in the sense that you know, clear my chest, make it
easy for me, untie the knot and send my brother with me so that we can do this thing here together.
And Alice's okay that's given anything else? Subhan Allah Subhana Allah, Allah says, okay, that's
given outta luck, whatever you've asked for me, from me, I've given it to. That's what Allah saying.
And the last thing we have bestowed upon you favours. This is not the first favor of Allah subhanho
wa Taala upon Musa alayhis salam. So Allah is saying, We've bestowed upon you the favors, how many
		

			favors have We bestowed upon you, every one of us we need to ask ourselves, the favors of Allah that
He has bestowed upon us, what are they? How many are they they are millions, billions, countless, it
is part of faith and conviction to consider and to think about what Allah has given you and favored
you with and to search for it hunted find it and thank Allah for each thing, as many things as you
can, that's a way that you will achieve increase because Allah says the
		

			Shackleton as Eden nakum if you're going to show gratitude to Allah, He will definitely grant you
increase. So to show gratitude, search for the gifts, thank Allah for them. And you will see what
Allah subhanho wa Taala will do for you. So this was a beautiful app that Musa alayhis salam made.
When he went to the pharaoh he spoke so eloquently, I think the pharaoh Subhana Allah was thrown off
his feet. And this is why he felt threatened by Musa alayhis salam May Allah subhanho wa Taala help
us all and guide us in every single way. I want to go through more of the Tao of Musa alayhis
salaam, this beautiful prophet of Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		

			He struggled also at the hands of his own people who are ill. So when it comes to benissa L. Allah
subhanho wa Taala tells us that they
		

			did not obey every instruction of Musa alayhis salam, they always cross questioned Him, they always
asked him more, and so on.
		

			But Musa alayhis salam sought the protection of Allah from the pharaoh many times using different
words. Some of these words specifically mentioned the pharaoh In which case, we wouldn't be able to
use that exact douar because it makes mention of the Pharaoh. But where the word Pharaoh is not in
the vessel in the dugout, and it's a broader do app, we may use the dua, that supplication if we
have a similar situation where we need the protection from a tyrant from someone who's bad from
someone who intends to harm us. Listen to what Musa alayhis salam says, Allah subhanho wa Taala
speaks about it in Surah Rafi verse number 27. While Carla moves
		

			in with Toby Rob beam on a big boom in Colima Jakob de la you need to be a woman.
		

			And Moses said,
		

			in need of do I seek the protection in my robe in my Lord and your Lord, I seek that protection in
our Lord mine and yours we have the same Lord the same maker. I seek protection in him from every
arrogant person 40 person who doesn't believe in the reckoning the day of reckoning. So two
qualities, a person who doesn't believe in the day of reckoning but
		

			They're not haughty. They're not arrogant, and so on. Here musallam is saying, the one who doesn't
believe and he is arrogant. He's proud, proud, to the degree that he belittles everyone. He's
harming us. He's causing damage. He's trying to cause damage. He's saying, I am seeking the
protection of my Lord and your Lord from people who are arrogant and don't believe in the day, don't
believe in the day of accounting the Day of Resurrection. So there's no harm in seeking this
protection. In fact, it's healthy in Neal to bear up before becoming Kalamata kabiri. Now Yo, Yo,
man, hey, sup, this is May Allah subhanho wa Taala make it for us, such that we are protected from
		

			those who are arrogant, haughty, you know, those who don't believe in fact, Subhana Allah, they are
other to us, that we will learn from the time of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam when we get to
those episodes, where we will be covering the death of Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, and that's going
to take up the largest chunk of our series Alhamdulillah. But I promise you, there are so many
powerful to ask that we would feel
		

			that it was tailor made for all of us, because you see the tests of Allah are quite similar in the
lives of everyone, the magnitude of the test might be different, but people are tested in a similar
way. These are the same tests. You see, I want to draw your attention to something very interesting,
my beloved brothers and sisters, especially the younger ones.
		

			When we have examinations,
		

			all levels, a levels you can whatever other examinations in South Africa, they call it the
matriculants exams, the metric exams,
		

			whatever it is, people will tell you generally, if you want to pass, there is a secret. Oh, wow. So
what's that secret? Pass papers? Wow, have you heard that? Pass papers, do as many pass papers as
you can of geography, get them from the year 2000. Right up to 20 1818, pass papers, 2019 2020
whatever the year is, do 20 Pass papers and June and November, June and November in the case of all
levels, okay? Or a levels? They'll tell you do pass papers you never go wrong. And then you You know
what, when you've done all those past papers, the chances are as you're sitting with your
examination, oh, wow, this is a small change in the question, but it's appeared somewhere. Because
		

			those examiners need to ask you about a specific syllabus, right? That syllabus is contained, right.
So the questions they're going to ask you if you've covered so many years of past papers, you've
covered the syllabus. And it might be a slight difference in wording a small difference in angle if
it's mathematics difference in the numbers, but the gist of the question is the same and you say
wow, I did this just now this morning. I did it and use happy smiling you know, the examiner, the
invigilator might think you're cheating. Can I tell you the example I'm giving you with Allah
subhanho wa Taala he has given us all the past papers we need to pass our exam. These are past
		

			papers. He's telling us about the prophets. He says Look, he they had issues, they had problems.
This is how they dealt with them. Your problems are smaller than this. Do you have the time to go
through these past papers if you do good luck to you, you're going to pass them. If you don't bad
luck, you're going to struggle, you might fail come back to repeat your exam, you fail again, come
back to repeat your exam until you've done enough papers that are current that you wrote and failed
and you got the experience and you came back. This is a gift of Allah subhanho wa Taala so my
brothers and sisters, it's a beautiful way of looking at things that Allah subhanho wa Taala bestows
		

			favor upon us by telling us what happened to others. And this is why the Hadith of the prophets of
Salaam he always speaks about how important it is to look at those who have less than you so that
you can appreciate what you have musala is Salatu was Salam is seeking the protection in Allah from
the pride and the haughtiness of those who are haughty and the wrongdoers etc, etc. And Allah
subhanho wa Taala gave that to him.
		

			Now, there is another do that to musala his Salatu was Salam has made and this is to do with the
seeking of forgiveness for himself and his people. When he says
		

			totally uniform VLAN our
		

			Wi Fi in Surah verse number 155 He says, Oh Allah, you are our protector. So forgive us and have
mercy on us, for you are the best of those who forgive you or the best of those who forgive. So he's
seeking the forgiveness of Allah. We also need to seek the forgiveness of Allah. In another verse,
Allah says that Musa alayhis salaam said, Rob bill fearing me when he asked me what are the
		

			Matic magic?
		

			The auto hammer raw Hemi in verse number 151 of pseudo to Earth. Oh my rub. Forgive me
		

			My brother and enter us into your mercy for indeed you are the Most Merciful of those who have mercy
or hamara, Haman and the hieroglyph Even you are the best of those who forgives. Look at how one is.
Allah is Forgiving, that is quality. Right? His names are based also on forgiveness.
		

			But to say you are the best of those who have mercy, you are the Most Merciful of those who have
mercy You are the best of those who forgive. These are qualities, their praise, Allah, we all have
to praise Allah, Oh Allah, you are the best. There is no one. No one better than you. Oh Allah,
there are people who forgive you are the best, you are the most forgiving of those who forgive.
		

			You are the Most Merciful of those who have mercy and mercy on me. Oh Allah, have mercy on me and my
brother. So what what lesson I want to draw from this is Luke, he's asking not just for himself in
one day, he says to me, Well, he actually forgive me and my brother. Let's make dua for our family
members. In an in this other verse, he says,
		

			oh, Allah forgive me and my people, forgive all of us. It's not just me. So this goes to show that
you know, we're concerned about the mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala. Not just for us.
		

			But for all those around us. And this is why Allah says Mashallah Salaam continues he says work to
bolena he had the dunya Hashanah wharfing Atilla t in Houdini, la
		

			da is as follows work to blend AFI Javi dunya. Asana 10, waffle Allah, O Allah, right for us,
goodness in this world and the next. That's the dua work to bolena v has he dunya Hassan.
		

			Kira, Oh Allah right for us decreed for us goodness in this world and the next that stops there.
Right in now, whodunit. ilica, is separate from the dua. So this is an amazing wording because it
was 1000s of years prior to Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And the man is making the same to
add that is mentioned in the Koran, and it's something we are asked to call out to Allah with. And
I'm mentioning that in a moment, but it means Oh Allah, we want to goodnesses in this world and in
the next I believe that there is another world to come. So I don't want you to solve my problems
only for this world. But I want you to resolve my matters for this world and for the next, both of
		

			them. This is powerful because it shows that you believe in the hereafter it shows that you're
concerned about the hereafter. So now let's fast forward to Muhammad Salallahu Salam Stein Surah Al
Baqarah, Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about it verse number 202 101, where he says
		

			wamena Simoni aku Laura bana attina dunya Rama Whoville not even holla he's speaking about Hajj, and
the people who make dua it must deliver and the people who are making dua during the season of Hajj
and he says,
		

			These people are saying or from among the people there are those who say, Oh Allah grant us in the
dunya in this world, and they have no portion of the Hereafter, nothing. So they forget to ask about
the hereafter. The supplications from Revelation teach us that we should not just be asking about
goodness of this world, and then leave no portion for the hereafter. But to balance the to be
conscious always of the fact that while you're asking Allah for some goodness here, you need to ask
him for goodness of the hereafter as well. So Allah says from among the people there are some they
don't know what they're doing. They're only asking Allah Oh, Allah helped me Give me a job grant me
		

			a spouse give me wealth, give me health give me good offspring give me a beautiful house, a
beautiful car, a beautiful, this beautiful that grant me you know, whatever else in terms of the
world and they forget to say Oh ALLAH forgive me, Grant me paradise make it easy for me in my grave,
and so on.
		

			So the very next verse, Allah speaks about the ideal, Allah says,
		

			woman Khomeini aku Nora bana attina Avi dunya hacer una
		

			de hacer una joaquina agha been Ola gala home na si boom.
		

			Casa boo la who said he on his
		

			from among the people are those who say oh our up grantors goodness in this world and the next and
save us from the punishment of the grave. Okinawa banagher save us from the punishment of the grave
Allah says those are the ones who will achieve a portion of what they have earned.
		

			So this is a beautiful draft.
		

			Why it's divided into three, two of them regarding the hereafter and the one portion regarding this
world Subhanallah if you're dividing this into three robina attina dunya Hasina will Akira Hasina
joaquina de na, O Allah grant us goodness in this world, grant has goodness in the hereafter and
save us from the punishment of the grave, you would realize these two are connected to the
hereafter. And this one here is connected to this world. It goes to show the true believers are more
concerned about the hereafter than they are about this particular worldly life. So I would like
Jenna you would like Jenna we would all like paradise. But in the interim, we need a few things here
		

			we will endure the richest of people have problems the poorest of people have problems that the most
handsome and pretty of people have problems. The most healthy of people have problems these issues
shall remain when you get to the hereafter. Normal problems, why? You believed us you sought Allah,
you did the right thing and you entered Allah's mercy.
		

			But if you did not do the right thing in this world, then the problems will begin in the hereafter.
May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us a deep a beautiful understanding. This is why this has brought
together so much of goodness robina artina dunya Santa Clara de hacer una tokina de na, you know,
when we go to Mecca, Tomoko Rama, and we're doing the top of the house of Allah subhanho wa Taala.
It's soon at a certain stage between the, the rock nemani and the Hydra asteroid, which is the last
part. You see the Kaaba is like a box, right? Slightly rectangular, some say it's exactly square,
but it's not exactly square. Its shape. Okay? The last part of it as your circumambulating The sun
		

			is robina atina for dunya Hassan, Hassan joaquina de ba na. O Allah, Grant His goodness in this
world, grant His goodness in the Hereafter, and save us from the punishment of the grave. The
punishment of the grave if you are saved from it, what is to follow is going to be easier and
lighter. If you're not saved from it, what is to follow is going to be worse. May Allah Subhana
Allah Allah, grant us savior from the punishment of the hereafter. So today what we learned is, we
don't just pray for ourselves, we pray for others as well.
		

			We always look at the qualities of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And we call him with the best of those
names, you know, he is the best of those who have mercy, etc, etc. And also, when we call out to
Allah, don't just call out for this world, but call out for the hereafter as well. Here is musala is
Salatu was Salam. Imagine, he called out to Allah using similar words as Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam
later on similar words as those that Allah tells us to use during the period of Hajj and not just
during the period of Hajj. But these two hours should be with us every single day.
		

			It's amazing how some of the Imams actually say even in the shadow, when we are sitting, and you
know, we're finished with our Salawat upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. It's a it's a
time to make do as we say Allahumma inni vollum to NFC lumen kathira Oh Allah, I have wronged myself
in a great way while I have a little blue but in the end, and none forgives sins besides you from
verily Mahavira tambien Indic. So forgive me a forgiveness from yourself. What harmony in nikka
antilla for Rahim, and have mercy on me, for indeed you are the most forgiving, Most Merciful. Some
of the scholars actually say you can add to that Rabbana atina for dunya Hashanah, what will occur
		

			it hasn't gotten Okinawa banana, and some say you can actually replace it with that. All of that is
beautiful because they're all taught to us by our pseudo last Allahu alayhi wa sallam, and these are
seeking forgiveness seeking help. When you seek forgiveness, automatically you are asking for a good
hereafter. So we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to bless every one of us, my brothers and sisters, I'm
excited about the next episode by the will of Allah subhanho wa Taala. We're going to go through
these supplications from Revelation in order for us to all benefit until then aku lokali hada was
Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
