			Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato. Are the blossoming of the monetary authority misma Rahman
Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen were one Illallah Bala. Meanwhile, people to limits have been
Allahumma salli wa sallam Mubarak Arabica suka Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, already he will
suck, we will sell them to someone cathedra so we've been going over the manners in which we make
them and the ways that our dryers gain higher potency and closeness to Allah subhanaw taala So we've
covered quite a few things in hamdulillah during the summer, we've gone over unhemmed The idea of
thinner praising Allah subhanaw taala and what that looks like we've gone over, sending Peace and
		

			blessings on the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa salam and the implications of sending Salawat upon
him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, we've gone over responding to the call of iman so affirming Robina
mana or Lord we believe in the importance of actually affirming our Eman. We've then gone over
calling upon Allah subhanaw taala be a smart he mostly for that too he by His names and by His
attributes and we distinguish between the two what it means to call upon Allah subhanaw taala by His
names, and then to build upon the calling of those names with attributes. And then lastly, we talked
about the idea of showing the situation demonstrating your desperation to Allah subhanaw taala has a
		

			to us so it Allah behind an attempt to show the situation that you are in to complain to Allah
subhanaw taala in a way that is befitting to do not to blame Allah subhanaw taala nor to disparage
oneself, but instead to present the hardship that you are in. And as Paula tonight I want to talk
about something that is a small category once again, but it has many implications. It's actually
something that we do in our Salah regularly, and that's at tell us so Did Allah be fit he Subhana
Allah to Allah, to call upon Allah subhanaw taala with his doings, meaning to actually cite Allah
doing something in the past or in the presence as a means of asking him for something in the future.
		

			Now what do I mean by this? There's a tell us a little lobbyists man, he was the fancy he his name
is attributes. But then you know when you say his attributes, you mentioned a natural extension of
his name, something that is true of him Subhan Allah to Allah, but his efile what he has done in the
past subhanho wa Taala and citing that to say that you are calling upon him for that same doing we
do it in our Salah actually every single prayer can anyone tell me where there's citing affair
citing something that Allah does a fatty he in our Salah
		

			wait someone said that what do you say
		

			when we say hola masala Allah Muhammad Anwar Ali Muhammad Kamara Selita Allah Rahim. While Ibrahim
This is literally what this is, Oh Allah send your peace and blessings upon Muhammad sallallahu
alayhi salam and his family the way that you did upon Ibrahim on Islam and his family, this is
actually what it is to us in Allah be fit to actually mentioned the doings of Allah subhanaw taala.
Now there are two categories of this. There is mentioning what Allah has done with other than you
and then mentioning what Allah has done for you. What Allah has done for other than you, one of the
most beautiful things that we find in your app is when you cite, oh Allah you are the one who gave
		

			victory Yama, nasaga Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam on Stromata Muhammad and Allah, you are
the one who gave victory to Muhammad Sallallahu Aeneas Nam over his enemies, Give victory to the
Ummah of Muhammad Salah on Islam over his enemy, so you're citing something that Allah did for his
beloved messenger, salallahu Alaihe Salam, or you're citing, you know, you who took Ibrahim alayhis,
salam, and J to whom and and now what delta hoomin and Otakar you're the one who took Ibrahim
alayhis salam out of the fire. So you're mentioning Allah taking Ibrahim or Islam out of a difficult
situation, or you who saved Yunus it his Salam, or you who responded to the call of Musa alayhis
		

			salam when he was most desperate so really remembering and mentioning some of those things that
Allah did for his prophets and then saying yeah, Allah do that for me to remember the crow Rama
Tierra Blanca. I have a daughter who is a Korea this is a mention of the Mercy of your Lord to His
servant Zakaria as their nmsa to let you know that Zakaria is your is your Lord when you call upon
him you're calling upon him, the way that zakat era Salam Did you don't have to be at the level of
Zakariya to make dua
		

			that defeats the purpose. Right? Allah wants you to know that you call upon him and he has the same
capability in your life. So that's when you start to mention what Allah has done in previous times
or with previous prophets and you ask Allah subhanaw taala to give you that same blessing to give
you that same power so you look for you're in a moment of rescue for example, where you need rescue.
What do you do you mentioned Allah subhanaw taala as the one
		

			who rescues you call upon Allah subhanaw taala with one of his names that suggests that yeah Jabba
right? The one who compels
		

			and if you are feeling like you're not being heard, yes Amir? In Mecca test metal, oh, in Mecca semi
or do out you're the one who hears the All Hearing you hear this? Oh you heard Eunice it has set up
from the bottom of the ocean? Yeah, Allah hear me. I'm calling upon you and forgive me. Oh you who
forgave this person, right? Oh you who redeemed this person, this is such a this. This is such an
open door Subhan Allah, because you mentioned what Allah did for his prophets, and then you bring it
into your own life. Now what about in our own situations where we actually go back and we reference
times in our life where Allah subhana wa Tada saved us or brought us out of a difficult situation.
		

			Remember when zakat eonni Hassan says Well, I'm I couldn't be derived. It cannot be Sharqiya You
never let me down before Oh ALLAH. You've never let me down. Subhan Allah, how beautiful is that
kitty it has Salam as he's in the midst of his day. And he says, You've never let me down. I've
never been deprived by you. I've never felt Shakti Shakti is someone who's deprived never felt
deprivation free headed man. Never. Right. So it's as their intimate say, hola, hola, como Santa
Ilya sabe upon Asante Laila hookah, oh, Allah the way that you took care of me before take care of
me now, because I remember a dark time when you took care of me. And you start to cite some of those
		

			moments. You see some Hala look at the other Bindra the mannerisms, when you don't blame Allah for
the bad times. But you do thank him for the good times. And one of the greatest means of elevating
your job is going through that and saying, I remember this time when this happened to me and your
ally called upon you and yeah, Allah, this happens. And yeah, Allah I'm calling upon you again. So
you're citing something previous in your own life in who can be happy here. And this was the nature
of the relationship when Ibraheem Alehissalaam says to his father, that I'm going to depart now and
I'm going to call upon my Lord and know who cannot be heavier. Allah celebrates My dear ALLAH
		

			SubhanA. Allah is always graceful with me. I know when I call upon Allah, he's going to answer me,
so I'm gonna go to my Lord now Subhan Allah, I'm gonna go back to my job. Now, this is despite
Ibrahim on Islam, having lived with nothing but rejection, in terms of the worldly life, nothing but
rejection and how does he describe the relationship with Allah in the whole economy heavy? I'm gonna
go back and call Allah Spano Tata. He's always always graceful with me, when I call upon him. Can
you cite specific examples of your own life? How specific can you get? Do we have an example of a
prophet in the Quran? Who actually goes back and recounts moments in his life and thanks a lot for
		

			them.
		

			Anyone know?
		

			A yovani has set up not in this particular verbiage.
		

			Use of it has set up. Its Pamela it's so beautiful because we hear use of it sometimes due at the
end.
		

			Robbie taitneamh Al Mulk. He's looking around. Yeah, Allah, you gave me all of this. Right now
that's the president blessing, telling me I'm welcome sitting on a throne. I have everything anyone
could want in this dunya I have power I have authority I have respect of honor. I have beauty right?
He already had that from before righteousness, probably cut our teeth and Eminem was like looking
around and saying yeah, Allah you gave me this kingdom. And then he went all the way back. Well, I
love Tony Montana, we Hadith and you taught me the ability to interpret dreams. So use of it Islam
was able to connect the end incidents to the beginning incidents and always trace it back to Eliza
		

			and thank Allah subhanaw taala for Oh Allah, you did this for me now. Oh Allah, you did this for me.
Then you Allah you gave me this. Yeah, Allah you gave me that thought, you know, somehow it will
fall through to somehow to the originator attributes of Allah subhanaw taala, the Originator of the
heavens and the earth until II for dunya and akhira. You are my beloved one in this dunya you are my
guardian in this life. And in the next telephony Muslim another Ask what I'm asking you for. I want
to die as a muslim. And his name is Slava Hain and let me follow in the path of the righteous
SubhanAllah. So he actually goes back and cites those moments. And this is not the only time so in
		

			your own drought, one of the ways to personalize your DUA dig deep. You know, when we're in some we
are forgetful I'm not some yell in San Alladhina. See, right you're only named insaan because you
forget so much.
		

			Sometimes we forget the favours of Allah upon us like in times where we really thought we were not
going to get out of something. And Allah azza wa jal has saved us. And sometimes going back and
pondering that is a means of increasing your gratitude. And when an inch or catatonia as the then
Nicoma if you increase in gratitude, Allah increases you, you're out will become more personal. Go
back. Go back, dig, dig, dig. Don't sit, don't say
		

			Well, now it's expired. You know, I'm still miss mentioning these blessings 10 from 1015 years ago
no, no keep mentioning the blessings from 1015 years ago. So yeah, Allah I remember those moments as
a means of making you remember. And you're calling upon Allah subhana wa Tada who was little Heyn
Heyn Heyn.
		

			Imagine Allah azza wa jal listening to you, in a world where people forget him for the blessings
right in front of him. Right people forget, forget mentioning Allah for the blessings right in front
of them. And here you are this act of Allah saying, Yeah, Allah. I remember 10 years ago, I remember
15 years ago, I remember 20 years ago, I remember when you were there for me, when everyone else had
forgotten me, and Allah is singling you out amongst the group, right amongst a group of people who
the majority of them are not grateful. So go back and remember the times that Allah subhanaw taala
helped you and go back and remember the times that Allah helped other than you, and then invoke that
		

			invoke that within your DUA, as you invoke your desperation invoke the times that he got you out of
your desperation. May Allah subhanho to Allah Who brought this ummah out of some of its darkest
days, may Allah subhanaw taala, who liberated an axon after 100 years of its occupation liberated
once again, may Allah subhanaw taala elevate this Ummah that has been through bloodshed? May Allah
subhanaw taala elevate this Ummah that has been through the Crusades and been through the Mongols.
May Allah subhanaw taala give us victory the way he gave our Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam victory
in the Battle of bedeutet in Ramadan, Allahumma Amin, Zack will all say don't sit on the couch
