00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			Have you ever found yourself stuck in du'a
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:04
			to where you know what you want to
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			ask Allah for, but you can't come up
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			with the right words to ask him for
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
			it? And then you go asking or looking
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			for some sort of prophetic du'a
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			that you hope matches perfectly with the specific
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			ask that you have.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			What if I told you that there's one
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
			catch all du'a
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			that takes everything you want to ask Allah
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala for and puts it perfectly
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29
			in a few sentences to achieve that goal.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			I want you to picture the scene because
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			it's actually going to be a familiar scene
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			throughout this entire series.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:48
			A'isha radiAllahu ta'ala Anha says that I was
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51
			in my room in salah exerting myself in
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			du'a
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			and then the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam walks
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			in on me while I'm in du'a and
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			he asked me for something alayhi salatu wasallam
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			and I was slow to respond to him.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			So think of her pushing herself in du'a,
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			trying to come up with the perfect words
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			to achieve what she wants to gain from
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and then the Prophet
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			intervenes and he says, You Aisha
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			araee kibijumaladdu'a'i
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			O Aisha,
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			stick to the duas that are comprehensive
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			and all encompassing.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			And this is something SubhanAllah you're going to
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:29
			find with the Prophet and A'isha, the Prophet
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			with Jawaiyah, the Prophet
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:31
			in Habibah
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			where he comes in and
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			he says, listen, I can give you something
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			that you can ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41
			with that will achieve everything that you're trying
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			to get out of this dua.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			And here in this intimate conversation,
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam is going to
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			give A'isha radiAllahu ta'ala Anha
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			what some of the scholars call the most
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			comprehensive du'a from the sunnah of the Prophet
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam. In fact, the great Mulla
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			'Ali Al Qari Rahimahullah said, this is the
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			most comprehensive du'a from the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			Wasallam. Wasallam. So he says to Aisha radiAllahu
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			ta'ala Anha, O Aisha,
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			say the following words,
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			Allahumma innni asalukaminalkhayri
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			kullihi
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			Ajilihi
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			wa ajilihi.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:13
			Ma'alimtuminhu
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			wamaalam aalam.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			Wa'aoothubika
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:17
			minasharri
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:18
			kullihi.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			In this world and in the Hereafter,
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			what I know and what I do not
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:34
			know. And, O Allah, I seek refuge with
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			You from all evil, in this world and
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			in the hereafter, what I know and what
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			I do not know.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			And then she goes on to say,
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			And, O Allah, I ask You for all
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			of the good that Your slave and Your
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:57
			Prophet sallallahu
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			alaihi wa sallam has ever asked You for.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			And I seek refuge with you from all
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			of the evil that your slave and your
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07
			Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam has ever sought refuge
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:07
			from.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			Allahumma inni asalukaljannata
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:11
			wamaqaraba
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			ilayha minqawlin
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			o'amal.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			WaAA'oothubikaminanari
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:16
			wamaqaraba
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:17
			ilayha
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			O Allah, I ask you for Jannah, for
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			paradise,
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			and for that which brings me closer to
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			it in word and in deed. And I
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			seek refuge in You from hellfire
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			and that which brings me closer to it
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			in word and in deed.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			And then finally,
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:34
			waasaluka
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:35
			antajaaalaqullaqabainqabaytahu
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			li khayra.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:42
			And I ask you to make every decree
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			that you decree concerning me good.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46
			So in this du'a, subhanAllah,
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			you have pretty much all of the articles
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			of faith summarized
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			in one paragraph. And I wanna break it
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:56
			down inshaAllah ta'ala into 4 parts.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			The first part
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:00
			is everything that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala knows.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			The second part is everything that the prophet
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam asked for. The third
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:09
			part is everything that leads to the destination
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			that I want in the hereafter.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			And then the 4th part
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:16
			is everything that is beneficial of decree for
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			me in this world. So let's break it
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			down inshaAllah ta'ala. In the first part,
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			you're asking Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			for every good that you know and that
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			He knows. Now that means everything that you
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			want to ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala for,
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33
			whether it's your finances, or your relationships, or
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			your careers, or your pursuits,
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			anything that you want to ask Allah for
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			that you know is good for you, you're
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			including it in this du'a.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			And then you're deferring to the knowledge of
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:43
			Allah
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			and saying, oh Allah and every good that
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			you know and Allah
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			knows what's better for us and Allah
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			knows good things for us that we have
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			no idea even exist in the realm of
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:57
			good and evil. So, oh Allah, based upon
		
00:04:57 --> 00:05:00
			everything that you know, give me everything that's
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			good for me in this life and in
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			the Hereafter.
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			And also protect me from the evil that
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			I know I want to be protected from.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			So if you're making du'a for Allah to
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			protect you from someone who's trying to harm
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			you or for some sort of oppression,
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			everything that I know to be evil and
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			the harm that I don't even know exists
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			out there, in this life and in the
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			next. So you're not even time bound, subhanAllah,
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			in this du'a. And it's based upon everything
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:26
			that Allah knows and you're achieving this in
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:26
			one sentence.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			Then in the second thing, and it's the
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam telling A'isha radiAllahu
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			anha to make this du'a. And I ask
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			you for all of the good that the
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			prophet
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			ever asked you for and I seek refuge
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:41
			with you from all of the things that
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:41
			the prophet
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			would seek refuge from. Now SubhanAllah,
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			if you think of the prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			wasallam's duas, like if I was to take
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			a book of the authentic supplications of the
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and say here, say
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			the sentence and you achieve all of these
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			duas in one sentence.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57
			On top of that,
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:00
			imagine the duas of the prophet salallahu alaihi
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			wa sallam on the night of Ta'if,
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			the night before Badr, some of his most
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			difficult moments, the qiyam of the Prophet Sallallahu
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:09
			Alaihi Wasallam. So in this one sentence,
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			you are getting all of those duas that
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam made
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			in your own du'a and it's the Prophet
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam telling Aisha radiAllahu Anha
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			here is a catchall, here is a way
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			for you to achieve all of that which
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23
			I ask my Lord with and SubhanAllah no
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			one knows Allah
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			better than the prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam and
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			no one had more beautiful and more comprehensive
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:31
			du'as than the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam. So
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			it starts with everything Allah knows, then it
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			goes to everything the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			asked for. And then finally,
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:40
			what is the good that you know that
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			you really really want? It's Jannah.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45
			And this entire existence that we have here
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			on this earth is to get back to
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			Jannah and it's the ultimate reward and we
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			have the guidebook but sometimes
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			we stray away from it either because we
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			don't know any better or because we do
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			other than what we know to be better.
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			So O Allah, I ask you for Jannah.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			But I don't just ask you for Jannah,
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:05
			I ask you to make every word and
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:07
			every deed that I say a means by
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			which I get closer to my goal of
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09
			Jannah.
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			And I seek refuge in you from the
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			fire and every word or deed that could
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			take me to the fire. And this is
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:18
			a profound realization that the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:18
			Wasallam
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			gives to us. Where the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:23
			Wasallam says that a person says one word
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			and they don't even think about that word.
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			And through that word they please Allah
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:31
			and Allah raises them by ranks into paradise.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			But on the other hand,
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:36
			a person says one word recklessly, not thinking
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:39
			about it, and by that word they displease
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:39
			Allah
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			and they plunge themselves into the depths of
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:45
			the Fire. May Allah protect us. Allahumma'amin
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:48
			So we're recognizing here that it's small deeds
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:51
			and small words that we sometimes don't appreciate
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:53
			the consequences of. And so, oh Allah, I
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			ask you for the destination
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			and I ask you for the deeds that
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			will take me to the desired destination in
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:00
			the hereafter.
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			And then the last part of this du'a
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			is the one that fits destiny, the one
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:06
			that fits decree.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:07
			Wa'asaluqyaantajaaalaqullaqaba'inqadaytahu
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			li khayra. And I ask you that every
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			decree that you have for me here
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:17
			is good. Now here's the thing, notice
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:20
			though it is an explicit du'a for good
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:21
			decree, it's not necessarily
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:25
			a du'a for easy decree and sometimes we
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:28
			conflate the 2. The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:31
			sallam said, ajaban li amrul mummin that how
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			amazing is the affair of the believer.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:37
			Why? In the amrahu kullahu khair because every
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:40
			affair of the believer is khayr, is good.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:43
			What does that mean? If something
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:46
			pleases him, something happens to him that he's
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			grateful for, then he says alhamdulillah and it's
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:51
			better for him. And if a hardship is
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:54
			visited upon him, he patiently endures that hardship
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:56
			and it's khaeir, it's better for him. And
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			this is only for the believer
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			that every decree
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:04
			for the believer is kayr, is good, because
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:05
			it becomes a means by which it brings
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			him closer to Allah,
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:10
			closer to manifesting the qualities of the Prophet
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:10
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			closer to achieving the destination that he or
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			she seeks in the hereafter
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:16
			which is Jannah.
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:18
			Also we find from this dear brothers and
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:19
			sisters that sometimes
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:21
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25
			decrees for you ease but if that ease
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:26
			takes you away from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29
			that prosperity makes you ungrateful or you use
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			that prosperity to disobey Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			then that decree is actually not khair for
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			you, it's actually not good for you. Likewise,
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:38
			sometimes a hardship comes to you and instead
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:39
			of making you more patient, instead of it
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:42
			bringing you closer to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:43
			it actually makes you bitter and jaded. So
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			it's not khayr for you, it's not good
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			for you. So you're asking Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:47
			Ta'ala
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:51
			for the goodness of Divine decree. And this
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			is SubhanAllah why the scholars say this prayer
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:54
			is so comprehensive.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:56
			Now did the Prophet
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			also used to ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			for protection from the things that we know
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			we don't want to see in this life?
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			That we know are difficulties, that we know
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06
			are the evil of decree? And the answer
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:09
			is absolutely. And there's a profound du'a where
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:09
			the Prophet
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:11
			also
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:13
			used to seek refuge in Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:14
			Ta'ala from 4 things.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:15
			Minjadil
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:16
			bala
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:17
			wadarakishshaka
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:20
			He
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:24
			used to seek refuge alayhis salatu wa salam
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:25
			from the severity
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:26
			of trials
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:29
			and then from drowning in misery. And daraq
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:32
			al Shaka'a, the scholars say is when the
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:33
			trial becomes so severe that it could kill
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35
			you, SubhanAllah, it's like the end of it
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:37
			all, where you're drowning in misery, where you
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:40
			can't think outside of that trial anymore. Minsoo
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:40
			ilqaba.
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43
			And from the hardship of decree, from the
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:44
			evil of decree. May Allah protect us from
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			the evil of decree in this life or
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:49
			the next. And then finally, shamaatatil aada. When
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:53
			the enemies gloat over your misfortune. And so
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam taught us how
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			to ask Allah for all good decree,
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:59
			how to seek refuge in Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00
			Ta'ala from the things that we know to
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:01
			be hardship.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:03
			But what is the greatest station that you
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:06
			could achieve out of all of that? Sometimes,
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08
			for reasons that are unknown to us,
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			bad decree and I'm using quotation marks
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:15
			for a very specific reason here, bad decree
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:19
			afflicts us. We make all these du'as and
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:20
			then all of these things still come to
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			us and we wonder, wait a minute, how
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:25
			come these difficulties are still coming to us?
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:28
			Because if we take those difficulties
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			in the right manner, then those become means
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			by which we are elevated in the hereafter
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			so long as our response is one that
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			is befitting to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:40
			what Allah Azzawajal has decreed for us. And
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:43
			so finally, the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45
			used to make this beautiful dua,
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:46
			Allahumma
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:47
			innni asalukaribwa
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:48
			da'adalqaba.
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:51
			Oh Allah, after it's all said and done,
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			I ask you for
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:54
			contentment.
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			I ask you to have the station of
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:57
			riba.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			The station of being pleased with you after
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:02
			the qaba, after the decree. So whatever it
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04
			turned out to be for me, oh Allah
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:07
			let my response you're asking Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:09
			Ta'ala to guide your response.
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:12
			Let my response to it all be rida'
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:14
			be being pleased with you. And Imam Ibn
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:15
			Al Qayyim Rahimuhullah
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:18
			He says, Being pleased with Allah and His
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:20
			decree is the paradise of this earth. It
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:23
			is the Jannah of this earth. It is
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			the greatest of the doors to Allah Subhanahu
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:25
			Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:28
			It is the bliss of the worshipers and
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			it is the joy of those who long
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			to meet Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And so
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			while you're asking Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala for
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:35
			the destination of Jannah,
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:38
			if Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala grants you the
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:39
			ability to be pleased with His decree in
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:43
			this life, then you've already achieved the destination
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:44
			of Jannah
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46
			in this world in your heart.
