Mustafa Khattab – 6 Ramadan Reflections Dua For Others

You can register with us, inshallah. Few spots

are left.

And, also if you'd like to sponsor a

Torah, we'll give you a pass of his

seat. Bismarck, you'll love it.

Last night we spoke about dua

for yourself.

Tonight, inshallah, we'll talk about dua for other

people.

I'm going to start with this, beautiful story

from Ibn al Jawzi

He said he was traveling one day, kal

al Musafiran

and he rested in a Masjid on the

way.

And he said while he was asleep, let's

say after salatul Dhul, whatever salah,

and he heard a lot of noise and

people were coming with Janazah.

Right? So he said okay, let me pray

with them Janazah, he prayed Janazah.

They left and they were carrying the body.

He said, I'm gonna follow them. He didn't

know the guy, but he said, I'm gonna

go with them. So he prayed Janaza for

the person that he didn't know, and he

followed the Janaza. He went with them to

the grave. They weren't they buried the person,

and after they buried the person, they left.

Fakal fajib too, like I wish they stayed

to make dua for the person. They just

put him in the hall, they covered him

up with dust and they left. So he

said I stayed by myself with a person

that I didn't know, I didn't know his

name,

and I started to make dua for him,

and I said You Allah,

Innahaalakatnazalalaykalayfa

This person that I don't know is your

guest now.

Wa'analaaarifullaa

krantu. If he comes to me,

and I didn't know his name, I didn't

know who he was, if he visited me

in my house, wallahi laujaani, I will take

good care of him. Now he is your

guest,

you know him, you know his name, you

know everything about him, please

take good care of him.

And he said I left, I went back

to the masjid, and I slipped again,

and in my dream I saw that man

that I just buried and made dua for

and he came in wide clothes and he

was smiling

and he said wallahi

Allah

honored me

because of you. Right? Because of his dua,

for a person that he didn't know.

In Nabi there's a beautiful hadith,

fih Sahib Muslim,

Kaab

ibnawf Malik ibnawf, sorry.

Malik ibnawf.

He said the prophet

buried a man from Ansar

and he sat by Higrayim, and he made

dua for him.

So he said, you Allah forgive him and

give him Jannah and this and that, this

beautiful dua. And the dua was so powerful

and was so emotional,

Malik ibn Nawaf, the narrator of the hadith

said, Faw Allah illawaditu

an nani analmayit.

I wish I was the dead person in

the grave, so Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

would make this beautiful dua for me.

There's also another hadith in Ibn Hibban.

The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, in this

hadith, Aisha radhiallahu alaihi who saw him happy

one day, she said, you Rasool Allah, you're

in a good mood,

make dua for me. So he made dua

for her, and he said, Allahumma

ilfilaa

ishata.

So the prophet

prayed for her, and he said, you Allah,

forgive her sins.

Whatever was done in the past, whatever would

be done in the future, whatever was done

in public, whatever was done in secret, you

Allah, forgive her.

So she was so happy,

and, Fata'ala Nabi

Are you amazed because of this dua for

you? She said, yes. This is a beautiful

dua. Fata'ala Nabi

He said, wallahi, this is the dua I

make for my ummah in every salah, every

namaz, I pray. You Allah forgive for my

ummah everything that they did in the past,

whatever they will do in the future, whatever

they do in public, whatever do they do

in secret. So the prophet sallahu alaihi wa

sallam is keeping us in his dua.

We know that when you make dua for

someone

an angel will say

and you will get the same. So let's

say

if someone got laid off or someone Allah

has not blessed them with money

and sometimes when Allah are sitting next to

people in the masjid, they are going through

a difficult time, they are fighting a battle

that you know a little bit about and

You need to make Dua for them.

If someone is looking for a wife or

a husband for a long time make dua

that Allah will give them a good person

If someone was laid off or someone

is new to this country and they're struggling

Every beginning is difficult, make dua that Allah

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala would make it easy for

them I I know some people in the

Jama'at here, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has tested

them with cancer,

they go for chemotherapy, and they're struggling,

and, O Allah, I always make dua for

them, that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will bless

them with shifa and make it easy for

them. Some people in this jawa'at, I know

them personally, they have been married for so

many years, and Allah has not blessed them

with kids. I make dua for them in

every salah. So this is something that we

need to do, to make dua for each

other.

That Allah

will make it easy for people and make

dua for them, and every time you make

dua for for someone, Allah

will say, walaka mifdhu.

The Malayik will say and Allah will give

you the same. Allah will give you the

reward for doing the dua, and so on

and so forth. So make sure inshallah you

make dua for each other, bivaar al ghay,

without them even knowing.

And this is the most beautiful gift that

you can give to someone is to make

dua for them. And this is something that

we can learn from the month of Ramadan,

as I mentioned last night, in the ayah

that talk about Ramadan and fasting in Surah

Al Hakkar 1 83 to 187.

Wa'idha salaka ivali aani fa'inipari.

In the middle of the ayah that talk

about Ramadan and fasting, it talks about dua.

Allah says, when my servants ask you, Muhammad

salallahu alayhi wa sallam, about me, I'm truly

near. I answer their Dua. Whatever they ask

for, I give it to them. So don't

be shy to raise your hands and ask

Allah

in this hadith in Bukhari.

Allah is shy when you raise your hands

to to Him asking for something

that He would turn them in like he

would turn you empty handed. You always come

back with something in your hands if you

raise them and ask Allah

So we ask Allah

to make us among those who pray for

themselves and others.

The question for last night was, there is

an animal in the Quran was accused of

a crime that he didn't do.

And this miskin innocent animal is the wolf.

Waqalahu

vid. So in the story of Yusuf alaihis

salam, the wolf was falsely accused of killing

Yusuf alaihis salam. He didn't do it. Right?

And the winner is, brother Yusuf and Yassine,

if they are here.

I'm not sure if they made it. They

have,

it's very late for them. But I know

they're dead. I'm gonna give it to him

inshallah.

The question for tonight, there is a man

in the Quran. There's an entire Surah named

after him

and

He's not a prophet. He's just a regular

man. So if you know the answer, you

can email me before tomorrow at imamastafatlanatoliacenter.cw.
