00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:26
			Mr. Mallya, Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah who are early he was Sadie Hillman
Wanda Allahumma Illumina and founder when Florida everywhere I lived in I was in Ireland and
Subhanak Allahumma. The argument in Ireland in early Mahaki was that
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:33
			respected brothers sisters, Salam aleikum, wa Rahmatullah heeta and overcut.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			I pray
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:41
			that everybody is doing well in sha Allah in this blessing night.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:47
			And in this blessed month of Ramadan, Mubarak, we only have a few nights left.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			I would like to thank all of you for taking out your
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			time tonight Hamdulillah.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:07
			It's quite late here in the UK, past midnight and wherever you are in whichever part of the world
you are, whatever time it is where you are,
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:17
			as we spend the last few nights of Ramadan, and the last 10 nights and today's the 27th night
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:38
			and we look at the insights and reflections on these last 10 nights and specifically tonight and I
want to talk briefly about strengthening our relationship with Allah subhanaw taala would like to
also thank our beloved Academy for arranging arranging these webinars series
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			and inviting various speakers
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:52
			to talk about different aspects relating to the month of Ramadan and the last 10 Nights etc. May
Allah subhanaw taala accept efforts bless everybody inshallah.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			I won't take too much of your all my time.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			Tonight is 27th night of Ramadan in Mobarak
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			which could be Leila through butter.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:16
			One of the things about later is this, that it is not possible
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:21
			to say with surety which night is Laila to other
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:28
			there are multiple opinions on which nucleated the other might be.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:36
			And there are Hadith said the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said seek it, search for it seek
it ill Demi Suha
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:48
			seek it on the 21st night on the 23rd nights and durations talk about 25th night 27th Night. So
there are multiple opinions of scholars looking at various Hadith.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:03:06
			But most possible, it is most likely based on the majority opinion is that this night is most likely
to occur Leila to cuddle and I will explain why it's called cuddle and what it means by little
cuddle.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:20
			Most likely this particular blessing night it's a little Mobarak as well blessing night in the Quran
Allah refers it to also sort of de Haan equals it Leila to Mobarak
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:42
			in Anza, now Vinay Letty Mobarak. So it's a blessed night full of Baraka, full of blessings, full of
Allah's mercy. So, this particular night, most likely it occurs. Number one in Ramadan, and Mubarak
number two, most likely in the last last 10 nights.
		
00:03:43 --> 00:04:17
			And from the last 10 Nights, most likely the other nights. And that's why the narration is of the
21st 23rd 25th 27th and 20 nights. And I think all five according to the many opinions of the
scholars all five equally possible. Some have then, additionally said also that 27 is more likely
from these as well from 2123 2527 and 29. Some have said that 27th is most more likely, but
majorities I think hold all of these odd nights of the last 10 nights as equally
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:28
			you know the likelihood nights in which Laylat recorded might take place. And also the issue is that
it's not like every Ramadan on the same night. It isn't Ramadan.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:45
			And it could be anytime in Ramadan, it could be any night and number one, it could move around. So
this year it could be 27. Next year, it could be 29. The following year, it could be 21. The year
after it could be fifth of Ramadan.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:59
			It moves around and we've been commanded to search for it search words meaning not spend and waste
time in searching and looking at the clouds and the skies and there's another time for looking at
the clouds and the skies and you know marveling at the creation of Allah
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:13
			I'm looking trying to look for some rays of sun etc, etc. And it's it's a bit late today and this
little other unethical, it's not that this is not the meaning of search for it searching for it
seeking it means that we
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:41
			make the most out of the night and do as much as possible in order to build our relationship in
order to build our connection with our Creator Allah Spanner data. Now, you see, we have to
understand the bigger picture here, brothers and sisters, there's a bigger picture here, which we
really need to understand. And the bigger picture is that why has this knight being
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:51
			created or designated by Allah? subhanaw taala? Number one, and then number two, why does it move
around?
		
00:05:52 --> 00:06:37
			And why don't we know for certainty and for surety when it is and why have we been told to seek it?
All of these three, four questions, they all kind of relate. It's like I'll answer all of this in
one one in one answer because they're all connected. Why did Allah create this night and design it
and designated it and you know, highlight in this particular night, sort of the other not? Allah
didn't just just highlight it in simple terms that Allah revealed a whole Surah a hellhole surah in
the book of Allah Surah pada. Regarding this night, there is no other time regarding which Allah has
revealed a whole solar. There's no whole sort of sort of Ramadan, there's no sort of aid there is
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:42
			not there are many multiple we have these, you know blessing occasions and times and nights and
days.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:59
			The Hajj time, the first 10 days of Ashura, the ninth 10th of Muharram fasting, and then we have
Siobhan is a very pleasant month. The whole month, mentioned in Hadith that the messenger Salallahu
Alaihe. Salam used to last quite a lot in Shabbat,
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:45
			Ramadan as a month, but there is no particular time regarding which Allah has revealed the whole
sunnah. There is another Surah after a particular time, which is similar to Joomla. There is a whole
slew of our Joomla named sort of Joomla are built. The difference is that the whole Surah doesn't
talk about Joomla rather, there's many other topics in the beginning and then it leads into just the
last two three verses Allah talks about Jamar this surah in who Ville a little harder on the rocker
man a little harder Laila to address hieromonk l Fisher Zaloni Ito to work rho v herb is near OB him
in kuleana. Salam on here, hat monopolar il Fajr whole Surah dedicated
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:48
			to this night,
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			this other night.
		
00:07:52 --> 00:08:28
			I like to call it this little cutter. But I will explain why. You know, we say the powered night
powder. That's not the only meaning of a little cutter. And therefore I personally there's nothing
wrong thing, knife power because that is one of the meanings. But there's about three, I'll just
mention them as well, just briefly, but there's about three meanings but to answer that question to
finish off that point. That why has Allah designated this knife given it so much importance to it?
And then he's told us to see kids in the Hadith, the messenger SallAllahu Ayushmann tells us, it'll
tell me Suha it'll tell me Suhasini kit, and then we have not been told about it. There's one
		
00:08:28 --> 00:09:11
			narration where the knowledge was uplifted because of a reason. There were two people fighting and
arguing. But that was just made as a reason Allah wanted this not to be for us to know specifically,
we've been told to search it. We don't know about it exactly when it is for surety. Definitely. But
we've been given signs and indications and certain duration is given. So it's not kept as abstract.
And as you know, like just not tell us at all. Like there's one night in the year. Seek it wasn't
like that. Ramadan, last 10 nights, the odd nights. So giving us like, you know, just giving us that
cake, but they're not giving it to it's like it's like the child in your hand. No, it's like you're
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			you're so close yet so far.
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:23
			So close yet so far. This is the this is the whole you know, the way Allah has approached made a
little harder for us.
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:39
			Seek it, look for it, search for it. It might be there. It might be that it's probably here. It's
probably they'll give you some clues. Give you some hints. Okay, look for it. Okay, anyway, in this
room. Okay, maybe it's in that corner in those few boxes.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			Making it easy for us but not telling us exactly.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:46
			Now the whole
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:59
			concept behind this is really, we have to understand that this Deen of ours that Allah has given us
Allah wants us to connect to him and really feel
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:31
			focus really on the aka this is just this I'm responding to these questions now with this, that this
world is not really the real life. It's not the real abode. It's a temporary about we're just here
just for a short period of time. The real focus of the believer the real focus should be darker and
this is what Allah said, oh mahalo oxygen. Now we'll insert hilarya Abu, I've only created you for
you for a test and for to worship me and let's say you come you prepare for the next life and you
go, don't dwell on this life too much. Now.
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:39
			That's the real purpose, but as opposed to some other faith communities like Catholicism, in which
they
		
00:10:41 --> 00:11:16
			believe in robinia. Rania means monetarism, like they completely detach themselves too from the
world. So they don't marry they don't have children. They think marriage marrying itself is wrong.
You don't enjoy the world you don't and you don't buy you don't sell. You just divorce the dunya
completely. You just go in a desert somewhere and you just like completely this for them to get too
close to Allah you have to completely dedicate yourself totally and you leave the dunya completely
you can't even enjoy this night, can't even enjoy food, even intimacy, even marriage is frowned
upon. Okay?
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:18
			Whereas Islam said No,
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:25
			Allah said what I have done here, Tony, but this monetarism, we did not prescribe it upon you.
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:48
			Nakata gonna hide him. So Allah doesn't want us to have that kind of life, then you've completely
detach yourself from the world. Rather, Allah says no problem. Islam says, you earn, you work, you
go, you marry, you have children, you deal with your daily life. And there's nothing wrong with all
of that. Rather, earning a livelihood is an obligation because we're highly varied environment
believer.
		
00:11:50 --> 00:12:01
			So Islam doesn't prevent us from engaging with the dunya. But then what happens, someone can go to
the other extreme, where once you go into the dunya, you can completely detach yourself from the
AHA.
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:17
			So those robinia is where people are detaching themselves completely from the dunya. And thinking
just all day, night long, just worshiping worshiping and in the desert. And that's it. They are
detaching themselves from the dunya. But then
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:38
			some others can go to the other extreme, where they detach, they live as though they're never going
to have a second life. It's all about just this life. It's all about just making money here, it's
just about this. Now here present, forget about alcohol, they forget about Allah, they forget about
the real purpose of the existence, which is the eternal life preparing for that, so they can go to
that extreme.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:43
			Islam wants us to be in the middle,
		
00:12:44 --> 00:13:06
			balanced, where you live in this dunya you enjoy this dunya as well and you do all the things that
are necessary, but at the same time, your heart and mind and soul is connected to Allah to Africa to
the hereafter, you're always thinking about the ACARA the balance, and this is why Allah has made
these certain times in the year.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:19
			The certain times for us as reminders, as a reminders, because we're in the dunya we might forget
about Allah as a reminder that remember, it's like you know,
		
00:13:21 --> 00:14:00
			and these reminders are like constant. So like, for example, five times a day, five times a day,
prayers. So you wake up in the morning, first thing, you'd make a dua you pray, you offer your Salah
to the Fajr you make your morning of car yo yo concentrated on Allah you're thinking about Allah yo
you connect to your heart and mind to Allah subhanaw taala to the author, you started your day fresh
with slaughtered pleasure with a bit of recitation of the Quran, etc. Now what gonna be breakfast,
gonna have your breakfast that's dunya ready? Dunya take your car dunya walk, train, to factory to
business plays to the university to the workplace to your meeting, whatever to the office dunya
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:03
			dunya dunya five, six hours and then
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:07
			along comes from Allah food.
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:45
			Don't forget Allah, come back. Pray Allah. So you come back from the dunya and you go to Allah
again, you're going off for your bar, you can you connect your mind and the heart and the soul and
the spirit to Allah subhanaw taala and then, okay, you come back now lunch and carry on with the
rest of the day. After a few hours again, you might completely forget about Allah and Allah, the
real purpose of existence straightaway another reminder don't ask. So five times as a matter of
Asia, these are all daily reminders. And then there's a bigger reminder weekly reminders on how to
Juma every week
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:52
			and then throughout the year Allah has made these different different days Okay, first 10 days of
you know,
		
00:14:53 --> 00:15:00
			will hija Hajj time once a year Ramadan and this is the whole purpose of why Ramadan is given
because 11 months
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:17
			of the year, okay, you're connected with the dunya. Ramadan, you come back, it's like once a year,
you fully focus on the real purpose of creation. And within Ramadan, the last 10 Nights, especially
for this, you know, this urbania as I said, we don't have this Rabbani and Islam, which is this
ministers ism and this,
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:59
			you know, detachment from the dunya. But just a flavor of it, just a taster of it is given in this
last 10 Nights. This is why we have our ticker, what's the purpose of our 10, cough, cough, bear
ticker for just give where it's a cough and basically means cutting yourself from all worldly
activities to the point that normally, normally it's wrong, to cut yourself from your family.
Normally, it's wrong not to talk to your family. Normally, it's wrong to avoid intimate
relationships with your family. But these last 10 Nights, it's a bit of the taster of like if you're
going in a desert, so this is you're going in a masjid. And you're detaching yourself completely.
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:27
			There's no intimate relationship with your, with your spouse. And you're just 10 days and 10 nights,
the last 10 days you've you are just completely detached from the dunya and connected to Allah. And
this is why the real article brothers and sisters is where the whole purpose of Attica, Attica is
worth someone completely detach them from the That's why if there are brothers and sisters who are
should go in article, they should make sure I mean, I personally feel that
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:31
			to go in Article and taking one of these with you
		
00:16:32 --> 00:17:10
			is probably completely going against the whole basic concept of Africa. Because now, back in the
day, if you weren't in Africa, the only thing you would probably have a phone, maybe you might call
your your family members once a day or something like that. But now if someone takes a smartphone,
whether they are physically disconnected, because they've gone into the masjid, but they are
mentally and spiritually and through the heart and mind and soul connected to the whole world wide
web. So if you're going on online and looking here and looking there, and this, all of this, then it
just it's not really hard to come to be honest. So this is the whole purpose of these, and a little
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:18
			other as well. So the same issue with Rails to Jakarta, Allah is telling us Look, there is a special
light, it's a very, very special night.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:18:03
			And but I'm not going to tell you so you seek for it. So you worship on not just one, like if I told
us one night, it's just 27 Then that's it for the rest of the nights, we'll just completely shut
off. So we don't know we try on 21st 23rd 25th 2729 Some people might try all 10 Nights, it could be
any of these 10 nights or they you know, equally worship Allah and connect themselves to align all
the 10 Nights. So this is these are just incentives, because really, it's all about connecting with
Allah Subhana Allah doesn't need a special night and we you know, Allah doesn't need this special
life to bless us. Allah is a highly of Ramadan and Shabbat on January February, he creates
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:44
			everything the night of Ramadan and outside Ramadan, they all belong to Allah Subhana Allah but
Allah is just giving us incentives to keep on turning to him, which means that the idea behind this
is that we connect to Allah through these weekly, daily monthly yearly reminders. And you know,
Allah has put these incentives, it keeps us connected. So that we don't disconnect too much keeps us
connected. This is the whole idea. So this is about later the other witches are very, very blessed
at night. And the whole Surah like I said, was revealed regarding Laila to the other night of other
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:54
			in Salina who feel a little puddle. Indeed, we revealed it it mean in the book of Allah the Quran in
Laila to puddle Allah said We revealed it in later.
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:58
			And Allah also says in another place,
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:20
			shahada Ramadan, a month of Ramadan. I love the on Zilla V Hill Quran it's that month in which the
Quran was revealed. So when Allah says month of Ramadan is that month in which the book the Quran
was revealed, and then in this surah other Allah says, Indeed we have revealed it in
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:26
			Nayla Takada. So what does that tell us that may little cover is in Ramadan?
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:44
			And I mean, it's very clear from these two if you put these two verses together, so it isn't a MOBA.
But then like I said, because some there are some opinions that it could be outside of my band, but
this these two verses are very strongly clearly you know, like explicitly say we put them together.
So
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:59
			Quran was revealed in this night and what we mean by the Quran has revealed that the Quran was
revealed from lower low balled up to the heavens on this night like the whole Quran and then from
there
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:24
			upon the heart of the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam it was revealed over a period of 23
years slowly, slowly, gradually as and when there was need. So verses to be revealed on the
messenger Salallahu Alaihe Salam on different different times and over a period of 23 years, but in
Enza La Villa Padre revealed it the whole of Quran Estacado was from in luxury food to the heavens
		
00:20:26 --> 00:21:09
			to the first guy, and this is the beginning of Indians anopheles and we know the surah in Anza now
feel a little warmer Ragamala Leila to Padre hiraman Alpha, just before me was saying I called the
last bit of his presentation, it is better than 1000 bytes. Now these are all just incentives. It is
all incentives, the whole idea the bigger picture, you know, this is telling us is better than an
eternity is better. It's not like only Okay, we're gonna start calculating. It's about a three
years, four months. It doesn't mean that okay, if I offer my Isha today later to paddle, then I
don't have to offer it for the next 83 years and four months? Of course not.
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:57
			You know, because everything has to be put in place. If someone worships Allah all night, on the
last on the 27th night, or the last 10 is 10 nights of Ramadan, and then go sleep and never worships
Allah for the rest of the year. So no benefit really, though. The idea is to connect to Allah. Hi,
Rahman Al Fisher, then as I like to work, connecting to Allah with the heart and soul, with the
mind, there's a lots of ways to connect to Allah. And I'm just going to end with this point, that
when we say we, you know, building a love for Allah subhanaw taala, connecting to Allah through
different ways, and that's a topic on its own. How do we create this special connection with Allah
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:41
			subhanaw taala? How do we connect with the mind with the heart with the soul spiritually? How do we
connect constantly through these reminders, but then it becomes such that our whole life, from the
moment we wake up to the moment we sleep every day, every week, every month, every year, for
eternity, for for the whole this life. And then of course, in Accra, but we are connected to Allah,
that's a topic on its own, there are different ways like we can go through like a list of 10
different ways in how we can build a very strong, a very powerful connection number, just two, I
just remembered, I forgot this when I said powerful. I was gonna say that why I don't say later the
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:45
			Night of Power, because little paddle has three meanings, just one minute. God
		
00:22:46 --> 00:23:22
			means one meaning is decree. It's tackled from a duck de Adara, who took the euro. So it's a night
of deceit decision making the night of decreed that's why you might see some translations The Night
of Decree. In other words, Allah knows about all of this, but in the execution of what he knows is
it's just with the angels is on this night, throughout the year, who's going to do what and who's
going to earn, how much and who's going to die, and who's going to be born and who's going to pass
away and who's going to marry and it's going to have children and how much it is, who's going to
going to be fortunate and who's going to commit sins, and who's going to be pious, who's going to
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:49
			turn their life etc. So this is one meaning of later, but strong meaning of later, the Night of
Decree. Another meaning is power with because otherwise from the order of quadra, the powerful law.
So it's the Night of Power to general meaning the Night of Power, it's a powerful night, it's a
powerful night to connect with Allah, it's a strong night to connect to the law. It talks about the
power and the power of a loss. I know that as well. And there's a third meaning as well. There's
other recoveries from you know,
		
00:23:50 --> 00:24:31
			like Manzella rudabeh, like, honor, status, it's a night of status is a night of honor. So you can
say the Night of Decree the Night of Power, the night of honor, and status. This is a meaning of
less than a quarter as well, the night of status and honor, meaning it's, we can also call it a
little Mubaraka because the other verse of the Quran says, a night of Barak a night of blessings. So
basically, you're connecting to Allah subhanaw taala in very many different ways. I talked about
some recently, I had a few lectures in different parts of the country here and I was going abroad as
well. I went through some of these ways, like there's one, connecting to Allah through sugar,
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:59
			gratitude. It's an amazing, powerful, amazing, powerful way of connecting to Allah. That's a topic
on its own, like counting your blessings, sugar and gratitude, the whole daily life connecting to
Allah. And this is why, you know, so many of our supplications and doors that we make to Allah has
the they begin with Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah means all Praise to Allah. It's thankfulness. It's
showing gratitude and
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:44
			There's other ways of connecting to Allah building a strong connection with him through the heart
through the mind through the Soul constantly thinking thinking but one I just want to talk about one
thing here which is dua just five minutes on this level and inshallah dua connecting to Allah,
Allahu Allah but I personally feel that there is nothing more powerful, there is nothing more
honorable, we can use the same laser cutter meanings, there is nothing more powerful, there is
nothing more honorable and nothing more prestigious and nothing more. Greater. Then, to add
supplication before Allah in building a connection with Allah dua itself, we need to like a couple
		
00:25:44 --> 00:26:01
			of hours into ah there's so many issues, what is the definition of dua, how to make dua, what are
the etiquettes of do what are the times and why should shall be most likely be accepted? Why do I is
sometimes not accepted etcetera, etcetera. But just this point here, I want to say is that
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:46
			dua is such a powerful tool that is given to us and that's why the Hadith of the messenger of allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam do Silla, not mean to Allah is a weapon of obedience weapon, it's your
weapon. It's with which you navigate through this life and do I should be constant constant in
builds a strong connection with Allah you know sugar and do are both are really important. This is
why you know sort of prefer to have solidified the highs a summary of the whole Quran is the essence
is the cream of the book of Allah. If you look at the beginning part is sugar. The latter part is
dark. In other words, the whole summary essence Hadassah cream, the you know the summary of the book
		
00:26:46 --> 00:27:03
			of Allah, sugar, gratitude, thankfulness and supplication and hamdulillahi rabbil Alameen wa Rahmani
Raheem Americium we did. This is all sugar gratitude, thanking Allah praising Allah, and then a year
can never do it dinner sought out on wisdom. So rotten, Latina and untidy, every day we are making
dua.
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:06
			Now, this dua
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:12
			is really powerful in connecting ourselves with Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:28
			We should ask we are always looking every human being is needed. We are always in need of something
we should ask for every major thing minor things small thing even like the Hadith says even ask if
your shoelace is broken. Ask Allah.
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:47
			Now, you know what this means. This is not really shoelace shoelace This is talking about things
which you or I might think it's so insignificant, but ask Allah like suddenly, I'm just looking for
my phone. I dropped my phone somewhere. I was using a pen and he fell down.
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:54
			Islam is telling us if you want to constant connection with Allah, you don't even have to raise your
hands do ah
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:56
			it's better to raise hands.
		
00:27:57 --> 00:28:14
			And one of the etiquettes but it's not a requirement to some two hours can be done without raising
hands. So the mouse just starts well luck, please let me find my pen. Oh Allah. Oh Allah please let
me find my pen. Oh Allah. I want to know from pen please give it back to me granted to me.
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:20
			Allow me to find it. Things like that. This is what this shoelace
		
00:28:22 --> 00:29:05
			we take the means but also like you know, everything's in the power of Allah so you know, you might
think if my shoelace or is broken, I'll go to the shop repair shop, the shoe shop, where the repair
but number one, you know Will you be able to walk there and when you'll be able to find the right
person when they charge you the right price you know when they charge extortionate price all this
you know the minds and hearts of people in the courtroom and the power of Allah and the control of
Allah. So a believer first tends to Allah, every small base you need, major, minor need be turned to
Allah. And remember, we always get reward for dua. That's the most amazing part is that we ask Allah
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:15
			for our needs, but Allah is rewarding us. How amazing is that? We make dua to Allah. For us. We're
not making the art for Allah.
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:26
			We're not making dua for someone else. We should do that as well of course, but even for someone
else is kind of for us because we love that person, parents children, so it's still this game for
us. It's for us.
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:44
			But Allah says that you are making dua for your needs for you the needs of your family members and
your loved ones and your family and your relatives and your friends and your needs. I should reward
you for asking me. How amazing is that? A da
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:59
			da da who will regard to our is worship is the essence of worship. It's a bada and we can reward it.
That's the instant benefit of Da instant benefit is like straightaway. You want to connect
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:01
			receive reward
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:11
			in the dunya people get irritated when you ask keep keep asking. Allah is happy rather Allah is
angered.
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:23
			Mala Miss La La yogabody is a Hadith of the Messenger of Allah and he was salam. Where he says
Melanie's Elena he elderberry. Allah is angered Allah is angered if you don't ask.
		
00:30:25 --> 00:31:09
			So dua itself is an act of reward. We can ask for our worldly needs. But I will mention one thing
that yes, we are asking for our worldly needs. We also need to ask for our next one you need
sometimes we forget our next world needs again here, the parents don't only keep on asking about oh
Allah grant me a nice bow. So I want to get married. I wonder this I want money. I want Baraka I
want one risk job, you know this, of course, no problem ask us, we should ask and we get rewarded as
well for that. But, but we should never forget, and there's another eternal life and we need our
dua, that eternal life requires our do our move. Don't neglect that life. Yes. Make the art for the
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:31
			78 years of this life, which is a short one. We need a good life here. Robina attina duniya Hazara

want to Ridwan you want your pleasure Allah, Allah Khomeini a little girly Aloka well Jenna, this is
prophetic dua Allahumma India's Luca de Baca Well, Jana, Oh Allah, I want your pleasure and Paradise
really, it's your pleasure. Paradise is like a side thing. It's not really it's the main thing is I
want your pleasure. If I tell you a pleasure, I'll go paradise. I want your pleasure. It's not the
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:39
			sweet you're giving me it's your happiness. You want someone like your parents or somebody it's not
about what they're giving you. That's just like a sign of their love for you. I want your love.
Allow me to look at a book or Genova although becoming psychotic or not. I am seeking your

			protection from your displeasure and hellfire. So how far is mentioned second, but I don't want your
displeasure like you being upset
		
00:32:50 --> 00:33:06
			and displeased with me. That is a greater issue. That's a killer. More so than going into hellfire.
Allah being displeased like imagine your Lord Your Creator, our Lord Our creator is displeased with
us. There's so these there's a lot of beautiful prophetic to ask Allah how many
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:35
			will I ask you for your love? Subhanallah you know what this means? All I'm asking you for your
love. I am asking you for your love. It's general which means Oh Allah, I am asking you to love me
and am I asking you to place in my heart love for you both ways. This book is general Allahumma in
need as a Luca Hogberg Oh Allah I ask you for your for your love. Meaning in my heart, I have love
for you and for your love. Meaning I want you to love me.
		
00:33:38 --> 00:34:05
			And I want the love of those people who love you. Here's when you could have two meanings. I
specifically asked one of my teachers about this, that can you have both meanings because one
meaning is clear. love Allah grant me your love worship Bergman you had and grant me the love of
those who love you which means that in my heart I want to love those people who love you. But also
second meaning that I want those people who love you to love me.
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:42
			I would really suggest to go through all this prophetic to us and these prophetic doors are amazing.
Amazing read a good book called Mona jack of all accepted, accepted whispers translated into English
and a few other translations were all the two hours from the Quran and Sunnah have been gathered,
read them, with subject with translations with understandings with meanings connect the heart and
mind mind and soul to Allah with this amazing weapon that we have been given, we have been given.
And remember he might give us what we asked him,
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:45
			but he might not give us
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:58
			we should come we should invoke supplicate bag with conviction. Now the best of the eyes or the
rubber comes around we're healthier. The Quran says hold on to your Lord.
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:01
			Hold on to load.
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:26
			Although I'm healthier, begging Lee and discreetly, secretly, the best doors that are done are those
that are done privately, between you and your Lord has nobody else baby tonight you could do this.
Go into a room. Like no one's there, knowing your children, your spouse, your siblings, your
parents, whoever, nobody just locked the door. Close the lights, dark, dark room.
		
00:35:28 --> 00:36:09
			Offer maybe Tahajjud prayer 100 Prayer. And, you know, just one thing here before so many things
come into the mind. You know, a lot of times when we talk about these things, connecting to Allah,
the heart is broken and shedding tears. This is really amazing. Rubbish. Remember, this is all for
the, you know, this is not just for, you know, our hearts been broken because of worldly things,
that we only go to Allah because you know, there's a problem in life. Of course, we should do not a
problem. And like I said for this, but sometimes, you know, we only go to Allah because it's a
problem in life or because you know, things are not going well. So let me go and cry to Allah and
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:13
			you know, I'm heartbroken, heartbroken because my boyfriend left me
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:21
			because my girlfriend no longer texts me so I'm heartbroken. This is I mean, you shouldn't be having
a boyfriend girlfriend anyway, in the beginning.
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:53
			This heartbroken pneus is really you know, when we talk about heart being broken, it's really heart
being broken in terms of sins being connected, committed that I am heartbroken that I committed sins
before. All my heart yearns for Allah, heart once this love of Allah in it, it's all that kind of
spiritual aspect. So anyway, going to the room, shutting the night lights, dark, who may be offering
tahajjud Salah a couple of
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:58
			records also Serato Hydra is a very, very powerful Salah
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:43
			pray of need need of this dunya need of the Agora for whatever reason, and then not connecting to
Allah shedding tears you can make drawing sujood as well just go into sujood as well and just cry
Allah and say, I want your love. I want your pleasure. I want your love of Allah. I want my heart to
be filled with your love. And I want you to have ultimate love from imagine, you know when someone
you really respect and they love you like sometimes, you know there's one teacher that I absolutely
adore and love and you know when someone says oh, he said something, this good thing about you so
much joy comes into the heart that he'd said a few words about about you or you know, someone you
		
00:37:43 --> 00:38:26
			respect and honor and love imagine Allah loving us What greater thing can there be in this life than
Allah wanting us loving us liking us? You know, you know, we say we have a soft spot for someone,
Allah having a soft spot for us and then if that you know, Tabby and the way of saying is correct,
but imagine this love of Allah, constantly, you know, asking crying to Allah for this inshallah you
will see, you will see the change in your life, we will see the change in our lives, we will see
uniqueness in our hearts and souls, the way our heart and souls are connected. constantly
throughout, if we can constantly do it, do it, not just one off, but constantly like even after
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:40
			Ramadan. You know, we shouldn't have these kind of nights where we go and connect to Allah at least
once a week, if not once a month, where we go privately with Arabba Contadora raffia can connecting
to Allah talking to Allah, you know
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:57
			supplicating begging with conviction, talk to Allah, one of the chashu has to say, constantly talk
to her like I said there could be even during the day talk to Allah you go into the car, talk to
Allah, you know, while you're driving, talk to Allah, Allah, I'm talking to you, you know, talk
about this world issues, exploit the issues.
		
00:38:58 --> 00:39:04
			Have a conversation with Allah subhanaw taala and finally, Allah might give might not get
		
00:39:05 --> 00:39:16
			there's no guarantee. Again, the reward does guarantee because he's told us clearly through his
Hadith and through the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam so the reward is there instance we've got that
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:38
			Okay, so there is no such thing as is pointless making dua if it doesn't get accepted because number
one you've connected to Allah, you've become closer to Allah. Number two, he's given you lots of
rewards. So you've got that for the ark. So every no dua is in vain. No dua is pointless. Because
we've got like sometimes we if we go into
		
00:39:39 --> 00:39:46
			it might be such that we might go into Africa and say these are all the this is amazing reward for
you. As you can see,
		
00:39:47 --> 00:39:59
			this is not because of any Salah you prayed or any Teow of the Quran and Decker or a good deeds or
any good courteous actions or charity or any help and assistance, some not. These are all those
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:17
			What as you made you made like 733 to us which were not accepted of yours in the dunya this is all
the reward imagined someone I don't know, we might just start thinking, you know, you know the other
500 to us, I hope they weren't accepted as well, for that short 6070 years of life like,
		
00:40:18 --> 00:41:03
			Okay, now imagine this eternal life, I could have had another similar type of reward. So never think
die is pointless or waste of time because it's bad, you get a reward. However, Allah might sometimes
give you what you're asking for. And many scholars have said this based on evidence from the Quran
so no but if it's about Allah Allah will definitely accept as karma for hedaya One of my teachers
moved to talk with money have a little law recently said We ask Allah to forgive our sins but at the
same time don't just stop there. Don't say Oh ALLAH forgive me a long lecture tonight. On little
Takada, one of the great two hours is this Allahumma in the iPhone to enable for for any occasion of
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:37
			the law and asked all messenger of Allah peace and blessings be upon him if I do finally little wash
do I shall I make? He said, say Allahumma indica. foon to him Hibbeler 451. In Ola you are very
forgiving very careful when it's a very exaggerated form of forgiveness, you are a food to herbal
alpha, you love to forgive forgive me. So making dua to forgive making dua to Allah to forgive our
sins but at the same time not stop the shutter both monitors don't stop them but also add to it. Oh
Allah save and protect me from committing sins in the future.
		
00:41:38 --> 00:42:11
			So it's actually Oh, I just keep it Forgive me i Oh Allah, forgive my sins and inshallah after
Ramadan keep on forgiving me because I'm going to continue committing sins. So yeah, every month,
every week, I'm going to commit so many things of keeping forgetting, forgiving, that's, that's bad.
So idea is all whatever, I've committed sins, forgive me those sins, but in the future, protect me.
Protect me, save me safeguard me. Allah was definitely asked if you ask Allah for hedaya Allah for
changing of life or piety or law changed my life made me righteous make me pious, make me.
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:42
			Someone who prays regularly, make me a person of prayer, fasting, make me someone who avoid sins,
these two are inshallah Tofik. From Allah, they will be accepted. As for dunya we issues Allah might
give some time sometimes why not? You know, like, something to him, he might not based on what's
good for us, Allah is a key. You know, we don't know. Sometimes a child asks the Father for
something. Because we don't we don't know the greatest scheme of things.
		
00:42:43 --> 00:43:19
			Imagine, you know, there's a gun here or a knife. And the child has the four four year old kid is
asking the mother or the father, I want this knife as a toy. Like, oh, can I give this please? You
know, the father said, Ask me anything I'll give you. If you ask me anything, I'll give you been a
really good boy, I'll give you anything. Okay, give me that knife. I want to play with it. No, I'm
not giving you that. You said you'd give me everything. But he knows that this is not right for the
child. So we might ask for something. Through our limited understanding, we might think that's good
for us. But Allah knows better, he knows better, what's good for us at what time might be something
		
00:43:19 --> 00:43:36
			not good for us now, maybe later. This is why if not secondary says in one of his poetry, that Allah
will definitely accept your prayers, but in a way of his choosing, not your way of choosing and at a
time of his choosing, not at a time of your choice.
		
00:43:37 --> 00:44:18
			In a way, so we asked in a particular way, he will respond but not in this particular way, in a
different way. It might give it in a different form. And at a time of his choosing, not the time of
our choosing. I've asked Allah for it now. But Allah might give it to me after six days or after
seven months. So it's all in the power encoder of Allah, but we should still continuously keep on
making dua and sometimes people see like, miraculous ways of how they do other and on many stories
of people who have asked for certain things. And then two hours have been accepted miraculously,
like you know Hanalei like in amazing ways, they seen the, you know, the help and assistance of
		
00:44:18 --> 00:44:59
			Allah like instantly in their life happens, it's happened to a lot of people but this happens when
people are connected to Allah, that beg Allah that cry to Allah they can with conviction, and you
know, the constantly connect to Allah and have this very strong link and relationship with the
Creator, then they will see the manifestations of the supplications and then two hours in this life
as well as you know, the them being rewarded for the dollars and so this is something that we should
constantly do to I'm going to end with these three words inshallah. We got last two, three nights
left now 27 Tonight, then 28 And then another really, really amazing 29th night as well.
		
00:45:01 --> 00:45:12
			and you might get a 30 at night as well. So whatever is remaining, we shall try to spend as much
time as possible into our and other forms of worship May Allah grant us the tofield from Allah grant
us ability and Allah
		
00:45:14 --> 00:45:29
			because close to him and make us from His beloved people, make us of those that he has love for and
grant us in our heart. His love and in Europe allowed me to love
