Mufti Menk – Supplications Series 2018 EP25

			Salam alaykum. warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. May the peace and blessings of the Almighty be upon every
one of us. I mean Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala rasulillah Allah Allah He was
happy here Jemaine, we start in the name of Allah subhanho wa Taala we praise Allah subhanho wa
Taala we send blessings and salutations upon Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, his household,
his companions and every single one of us, may Allah subhanahu wa taala bless us and grant us
goodness, we're talking about supplications from Revelation, and we're coming to the end of this
entire series but we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to make the end of it the most powerful of it
		

			because these are days of calling out to Allah subhanho wa Taala it's important for us to realize
the biggest thing that we could ever achieve is the forgiveness of Allah subhanho wa Taala
		

			This is why in the hadith of eyeshadow, the Allahu Allah when she asks the Prophet peace be upon him
or messenger, do you see if I were to witness the Night of Decree Laila to Qatar? What exactly
should I say? And he says, say Allahumma inaka. One to hibel Africa far for an ni O Allah, you are
most forgiving. You love to forgive so forgive me. That's the best do are you and I could make today
and every day. So we say Allahu Allah hum in Naka who want to hit Bulava for me Allahumma inaka
Alpha One, two hit bhula 454 and ni Allahumma inaka 1251 ne May Allah subhanahu wa tada forgive
every one of us and grant us genda to fulfill those. If we achieve forgiveness. We can forget about
		

			everything else, how Allah subhanho wa Taala blessed us was with that forgiveness. I want to move on
to another beautiful narration that is reported in Sudan abida wood,
		

			and also in Sudan and Maasai related by the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he used to call out
with this beautiful dog. And this dog is connected to asking Allah for a good death. We all would
love to have a good death. And we all would like to get, you know, to a place where it is better
than where we are right now. But the transition needs to be good the way we end this life also needs
to be good. It's called National Heart in the goodness of the end. So if a person dies, for example,
in Salah, it's called hospital hotma they were fortunate if a person dies in hajj, the obedience of
Allah subhanho wa Taala it is hurstville hakima
		

			all these are considered good ways of the life having ended We ask Allah Subhana Allah to Allah to
grant us a good ending, I mean, so the Prophet sallallahu Sallam used to say Allahumma inni ob came
in and headed me. It's a long time I'm just starting it, Oh Allah, I seek your protection from
destruction, you know had that which is destroyed, I seek your protection from destruction, we are
all to be committed minute 30 and I seek your protection from falling from a very high place
Subhanallah dying as a result of a fall. You know, you fall from a very high place and you go down
		

			and you die as that as a result. So the Prophet peace be upon him is seeking protection from Terra
de we are also becoming a therapy and I seek your protection from being drowned from drowning. While
healthy and from being burnt. And I seek your protection from Al haram Ihara means that old age
where I'm totally now dependent on everybody else, they get fed up of me and so on and so forth. You
know, when you get old Mashallah, it's good to be old and fit, and to be independent. The minute you
start depending on people and that is your life. It's better that Allah subhanho wa Taala takes you
away. So this is saying, Oh Allah protect me from that type of old age. What are all Lupica mean?
		

			I'm yet to have badania shavonne are in Dell mode. And I seek your protection from the devil,
confusing me or taking control of me at the point of my death. Now I paused for a moment.
		

			At the point of death, it's not so easy, it's quite difficult because your life is going you know,
there is a lot of anxiety in the case of those
		

			Whose belief is not so strong, but we believe we should be so happy and convinced that we are going
to a better place. But sometimes if you're weak shaytan comes to you at that moment and makes you
utter words of disbelief. He makes you say things and do things that are disgraceful. This is
seeking the protection in Allah from shavon, who may come at the time of death to confuse and to
take control of an individual, what a powerful
		

			one will be coming in yet a botania shavonne are in Dell mode. What are all the big a motor
feasibility can be raw? And Oh Allah, I seek protection from being killed in your cause while I'm
running away Subhana Allah, which means your path, your obedience, but I'm actually heading the
wrong way. I'm on the path, but I just turned around and I'm going back and now I lose my life and
you take my life away, somehow in whatever way it happened. And Oh Allah, I don't want you to be
displeased with me. So that is dying while running away from the cause of Allah subhanho wa Taala
what I will do Becca and a Moute Allah Deacon, and Oh Allah, I seek protection in you from dying as
		

			a result of being bitten or stung by something poisonous, etc. So this is a powerful tool, you see
it's connected to a good death. We are seeking a good death from Allah subhanho wa Taala. Let me
read the entire drama. So in case we would like to repeat it or say it with me, inshallah, we've
heard the meaning of it. It's protect asking Allah protection from destruction from falling from a
high place and dying as a result from drowning you know, death caused by drowning death caused by
being burnt death caused by old age or at such an old age where we are totally dependent upon
others. I seek your protection from shaytan coming to me at the time of death and confusing me and I
		

			seek your protection from dying while I'm turning away from your obedience and your path and dying,
having been bitten by an animal or an insect or whatever, you know, a reptile and so on Allahumma
inni ob communal had me to be kameena Terra de to be communal. herati Well, hierarchy well harami
what are all the beaker and yet the hub botany shavon in del mo t. r o beaker, and a mu Tuffy Serbia
Lika Madeira? What are all the beaker and a mu tele D Ha? What a powerful beautiful narration of the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam here, it's actually amazing. How Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam his words are so so powerful, we benefit from them, we should be using them to call out to
		

			Allah. And I'm very, very thankful to Allah for giving us the opportunity to go through these words
one by one even if there is a little bit of repetition sometimes I promise you that repetition is
beneficial for us. We don't know which is the moment of acceptance of do so therefore call out to
Allah today tomorrow and every day. If you have a need, there is no harm in repeating the need. In
fact there is benefit in repeating it as many times as you want. So when you want something from
Allah subhanho wa Taala be serious about the question be serious about that supplication call out to
Allah seek His forgiveness praise Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam Send blessings and salutations upon
		

			him. You know, seek the forgiveness of Allah and then call out to Allah in such a beautiful way, and
remember to endure are also with seeking or with sending blessings and salutations upon Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, I move on to another narration, which is Mustafa con la
		

			de la. It means it is an agreed upon duration, powerful duration. I think the majority of us would
know this do out of by heart but some of us don't know its meaning. Why would we know it by heart?
		

			Well, this two hour that I'm about to read right now is repeated by most of us in salah and in
prayer. Right at the end just before we say a Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah that is the moment of
supplicating and calling out to Allah. While you are sitting in the last what is known as cada, just
before you're going to say this Salam is the moment to call out to Allah. I did make mention in one
of the episodes of robina atina dounia Hasina will accurately Hashanah joaquina. Davina is one of
the applications that you could use at that particular point. But there is a more common The most
common application at that juncture is Allahumma inni vollum to nevski uhlmann Kathy, you're
		

			welcome. waala Fuzhou Illa, Anta from V Mahavira tomine indika warham me in until a foodora him
		

			Allah
		

			I have wronged myself in a great way. Oh Allah I have wronged myself in a great way. Oh Allah I have
sinned in a big way. Oh Allah I have oppressed myself in a great way. And there is none who will
forgive sins besides you. So therefore Forgive me a forgiveness from you and have mercy on me for
indeed you are the most forgiving, Most Merciful. Wow. Every time we are completing our prayer, just
before we say salam aleikum, wa rahmatullah on either side, we are seeking the forgiveness of Allah.
Oh Allah, I've wronged myself in a big way. Now, nobody is going to forgive me besides you there is
no one who can forgive besides you. So therefore Forgive me from you. And have mercy on me for
		

			indeed you are the most forgiving, Most Merciful. May Allah subhanho wa Taala have mercy upon every
single one of us. And grant us goodness in this world and the next, my brothers and sisters, that is
a lovely two hour whenever you use it in the Salah, and you have to be anyway you know one of those
two hours like I said, this is the most popular, it's a sooner it is authentic, it is Mustafa con la
and we should be using it. But whenever you use that to our or say it, try and think of its meaning
because some people we are so used to the Salah, we just say that to Assalamu alaikum salaam aleikum
and we don't even know exactly what we have said, I want to move on to another duel.
		

			That is also amazing. Many of us complain about not having a good house, sometimes, you know, we're
looking for another house. It's never big enough. It's never spacious enough. And so on. Many of us
complain about wealth and money, you know, we don't have enough. So there is a student of the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam which is narrated in sunanda Timothy as well as Muslim Imam
Ahmed. The Hadith is mentioning this. Allah homophily them be what was silly if he daddy robotic Lee
he is key. I love this. It's amazing.
		

			Oh Allah.
		

			Forgive my sin. Oh ALLAH forgive my sin. Allah humma v thembi. Oh ALLAH forgive my sin. What was
silly fee Daddy, and grant me a spaciousness in my home. That means grant me contentment make my
home such that I am happy in it, the house and the home both of them which means the living as well
as those I live with and the conditions I'm living in. Make make me content make me happy, make it
broad enough make it spacious enough so that I am not looking for something else. When I'm in my
home. It's sufficient for me. robotically Faris, P and grant me blessings in my wealth.
		

			Now if we think about the blessings in the wealth, we will come to realize that these blessings are
not necessarily an amount, but rather what happens with the amount that we have. So when I say Oh
Allah bless me in my wealth, it doesn't mean Allah give me more and more and more and more, but Oh
Allah let there be Baraka, you know, blessings to the degree that whatever I have is more than
enough sufficient for me. And I have, I still have excess. It's amazing. It's amazing because a
person who has $1,000 a week, for example, which is quite a good salary, a person who has $1,000 a
week in a first world country, right? If their expenses are such that they cannot make ends meet,
		

			and that's not enough for them. Then they become people who might have a big figure but then they're
never content and there is no blessing in it in a short space of time. It's over, it's finished, but
a person who might have less inferiors, but yet when they buy, they find that Mashallah they have
changed. They have a lot of money that is still remaining with them. They're happy, they're smiling,
that is called Baraka, that is the blessing of Allah subhanho wa Taala. So when we are asking Allah
subhanho wa Taala his blessings in wealth, we're actually asking Allah subhanho wa Taala to give us
the goodness of being able to spend in the most in the most beneficial way. We've got the bargains,
		

			we've got the good deals, and we're happy. The quality of the product is really good. You know, if
you buy a product and there's no blessing in it, it could be expensive, but it will be damaged in
one day broken in the same day. But if sometimes you might buy a product that's a little bit cheaper
and who knows it could last for you for 1020 years. That is Baraka. That's the blessing of Allah
subhanho wa Taala so that is also a very, very good day. I want to repeat it a lot more vividly than
be what was silly if he daddy liqua basically finished physically, may Allah subhanahu wa taala
grant us the the Baraka and the blessings of this And may Allah subhanho wa Taala really open our
		

			doors my brothers and sisters
		

			These are very, very amazing words of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam many times we look at
these words and we think to ourselves, how did Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam this prophet of
Allah? How did he think of all of this? How did he make a draft with these things? But like I say,
it's a miracle. It's revelation, it's divine, it's from Allah subhanho wa Taala. So definitely, it
is something that Allah has kept for us to benefit from, rather than the Prophet of Allah subhanho
wa Taala needing it. I want to move on to yet another gap that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam makes mention of it is also a dua in sunan, Abu Dawood and sunon necessity, the Prophet
		

			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has said Allahumma inni to be communal factory, it's connected to the
previous one. Remember, we ended that by seeking Baraka in our sustenance, blessings in our
sustenance, this is another drought, Oh Allah, I seek your protection from poverty, protect me from
poverty will kill it.
		

			And from having very little, so I'm not poor but I've got very little Oh Allah I seek your
protection from poverty and from having very little with venality and from being disgraced or law
protect me from disgrace what are all the becoming an of the Lima OH the llama, and I seek your
protection from myself oppressing someone doing wrong to someone or anyone doing wrong to me.
Beautiful so that's the dual Allahumma inni obika mineral factory will kill it with V Letty, what
are all the becoming an of Lima Allah, Oh Allah, I seek your protection from poverty from having
very little from disgrace, and I seek your protection from me wronging someone doing something wrong
		

			to someone or pressing someone or someone else doing wrong to me? It's amazing how both of those are
mentioned at the end. Many times people say Oh Allah protect me from being oppressed. But think
about it, you might just be an oppressor yourself. Or Allah protect me from others they when they
wronged me, but what about you? Are you wronging people? Are you doing things that are wrong to the
people? If that is the case, then definitely you need to correct yourself and you need to seek the
help of Allah subhanho wa Taala. So this is also a beautiful day of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, and I want to move on to yet another day of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		

			wherein he speaks about knowledge and knowledge we know we've asked for it from Allah subhanho wa
Taala and we've spoken about it in previous episodes. Where we've said Rob be Sydney ilma and so on,
and Oh Allah grant me beneficial knowledge increase me knowledge benefit me from the knowledge
you've given me. But there is a level beyond just knowledge. And that is a deep understanding of the
lab. Now bas radi Allahu Allahu Allah, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam made a dua for him.
Allah humma t houfy Diem, O Allah grant him a deep understanding within religion, it's called fit to
not just a limo for the humans give him a deep understanding. When we say when we're talking of
		

			knowledge, when we talking of pay, it's actually a deep understanding. That's why the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam says, men you read the law who be higher than you fucky he did.
		

			The meaning of it is whomsoever Allah wants goodness from, He grants him a deep understanding of the
religion, not just a shallow understanding, a deep understanding of the rules, the regulations, the
application, the way to guide people filled with wisdom, etc, etc. All that is called fake. Would
you like to have that for yourself? The answer is yes. Well, if that is the case, then there is a
law that you may make.
		

			Now, this is obviously derived from a drought of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam for Abdullayev
numbers. So it's not like the Prophet sallallahu Sallam told us all to make the dua. But in this
case, it is mentioned in the Hadith that I said,
		

			in the Hadith that I that I said earlier,
		

			it is in Sahih al Bukhari actually. But it's about a dua that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam made for Abdullayev now bas are of the law and we would like to get from it. So we're
extracting our own draft from that da Allahumma facchini de Allahumma ni fi D. O Allah grant me a
deep understanding of the deen allama facchini Deen Oh, Allah grant me a deep understanding of the
deen. So that is a short two hour it is concise. Where did we get it from? We derived it from our
main Bible
		

			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for Abdullayev the ambassador of the Allah and Houma. Obviously
in that case, the DA was accepted. It was made by the prophet SAW Selim, it was given to Abdullah
Abbas or the Allah and Allah He became known as one of the top scholars of the Sahaba of the law and
when he was young at the time, and he was a great scholar, Professor, he understood that seed the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam also told him also made a draft for him, I live who will Allah grant him
knowledge of the interpretation of the Quran, and he definitely did have that many times we see
		

			the opinion of Abdullah bustle of the Allahumma in matters of Tafseer
		

			and in the translation of the Quran, so this is a Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam. When we make it
we're just asking Allah O Allah grant me a deep understanding but please, my brothers and sisters,
make an effort to learn the deen. Don't just ask Allah Allah grant me a deep understanding of the
deen but your life is somewhere else completely. The way you are leading your life is something
totally opposite to what you're asking from Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		

			So, this is an another absolutely amazing and beautiful day out of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam that we see. Then I want to move on to another beautiful Do you see when we drink zum zum zum
zum that we drink whether we're in Makkah whether the Zamzam has been taken anywhere else and we
happen to be drinking it in the comfort of our own homes or fortunate enough to have it outside of
Mecca, Tomoko Rama, sometimes there is a doodad that we say that would ask Allah increase in
knowledge, increase in a few things, increase in wealth increase in good deeds. So this is a similar
dua, and it is mentioned in synonym DiMaggio and Kitab, Salah, and even in sunon and Maasai. In
		

			fact, in a Sunil Cobra, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said Allahumma inni iluka illman
What is ebba wa mala Mata Kabbalah three things that are being asked for in this hadith Oh Allah, I
seek beneficial knowledge. I seek from you beneficial knowledge that is contained and means
		

			sustenance that is pure sustenance that is pure. And the third thing is ameland Metallica, Belen
deeds that are accepted. Now
		

			it's important for us to see what we're asking for. Here the Prophet sallallahu Sallam the first
part of it is quite simple, we are asking for beneficial knowledge. I told you an effort is required
to you know to pursue that knowledge. But Allah will make it beneficial by the will of Allah
subhanho wa Taala. But the second thing is we're asking for pure sustenance, pure sustenance is your
income needs to be halal, it needs to be pure, it needs to be good. As time passes, it's becoming
more and more difficult to earn in halaal Wait, so for us to be able to ask Allah Subhana Allah to
Allah to benefit us or to grant us that not that sustenance that is pure, we would need to make a
		

			little bit of an effort. That effort is important, pure wealth, we did not usurp it, we didn't steal
it. If we're business people, if we're employed, we try and make sure that it's proper, and we try
and make sure that the job is also a good job. May Allah make it easy for all those who have jobs
they are not satisfied with to get jobs that they will be satisfied with. inshallah. I mean, I mean,
I mean, and May Allah subhanho wa Taala bless every one of us. And the third thing that we're asking
for here is our Milan Mata Kabbalah, Allah grant us the ability to do deeds that will be acceptable
to you, you accept the deeds, you know, for a deed to be acceptable, you need two main qualities one
		

			is sincerity solely for the sake of Allah. And to is an act of worship needs to be done as per the
teaching of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, I cannot do acts of worship just on my own decide that
right I want to worship Allah by teaching my eye or by doing something you know strange. It has to
be something taught by the prophets of Allah Salaam. inshallah we meet again with the next episode
until then, I say a salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
