			he told me
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:05
			within
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			the power over dua
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:22
			truly there is a great tool that a Muslim has and it's a weapon
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			in his arsenal.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:38
			The great predecessor Mohammed in wasa was a soldier in the army led by a potato that had been
Muslim. And they were on the conquest of caribou.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:57
			As they were there and the armies were clashing, the leader Otaiba who was saying where is Mohammed
bin wasa? luz de. I need Mohammed bin Weiser. Where is he? So they started looking for him. They
found him having prayed solid
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:43
			imagine this is the battle people are fighting. He's just praying sleight of hand and he's holding
his spear. He's raising his finger to the sky. And he's saying yeah, how you Yeah, for Yom Yeah. How
are you? Yeah. For Yom Yeah. How are you ever you've been making dua to Allah subhanaw taala. And
this difficult moment, lifting his finger up. They went back to Otaiba and they said to him, this is
what Muhammad in wasa is doing. You know, his prayer is now he's making dua he said, Wallah he, by
Allah, the finger of Muhammad devinwatson is greater and more beloved to me. Then 1000 1000 well
presented young men with 1000 unleashed sword.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:02:38
			How Allah because that reality the reality is that a person can be a righteous person, known amongst
the people for his righteousness, and his finger, which obviously is not going to be used for
fighting so who am used for physical warfare, but it's at a finger which is connected with dua to
Allah subhanho wa taala. And that finger from a sincere, pure heart can be much more powerful than
any army can be much more powerful than any money can bring so much, you know, greatness and Baraka
a blessing from 1000 businesses or whatever, because Allah Subhana Allah, Allah is the One Who owns
everything. So you have that connection to Allah, then you will have that greatness in achieving
		
00:02:38 --> 00:03:03
			things and Allah Subhana Allah, Allah is the One who gives his dua, the DUA that you make is in the
hands of Allah, Allah who will answer the DUA no doubt how he will answer that is something that we
don't know and sometimes Allah will choose how to answer for you, which is best for you. So never
think that by making sure that you are, you know, maybe you don't see the answer that the DA has
gone towards, rather than dua is there?
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:48
			And Allah subhanaw taala will answer in the best way and that is actually the best way that you
should feel, you know, you should find yourself you know, what, what is best for you. I was on a
talk show with with my colleagues, Sheikh Mohammed and he was telling me this, this this story, but
two of there were two colleagues that finished high school and they were, they were making the arts
about where to go so one of the sailors make dua, so one of them and his colleague, he said, I ask
Allah to allow me to go and study in the University of Rome, doorman Islamic University and doorman
in Sudan. He must have thought this is a great you know, this is a great place to be it's a great
		
00:03:49 --> 00:04:00
			he said, What about you? Mohammed, what do you want to do? I said, I'm gonna ask Allah to take me to
the university that he thinks or he sees best for me.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:12
			So he left that choice in the handle Allah subhanaw taala. Later on this guy is the art was
answered. He went to undermanned and Sheikh Mohammed ended up going to an SR University.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:27
			Obviously, which has, you know, a much longer sort of history and a wider access to lots of
knowledge. Allah Subhana Allah chose for him, what is good so let Allah choose for you make the DUA
associated yourself with Allah subhanaw taala Muhammad in was here
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:43
			was a righteous man and he wasn't arrogant. He wasn't thinking I my finger I just go around. Like
almost like, I had gotten on something, but actually even one of his sayings. And this the humility
of the people he said, By Allah,
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:59
			if sins, if sins and badness had a smell, nobody was sit in my proximity. And that's obviously from
his humility because otherwise he was a righteous man. May Allah be pleased with him.
