The last 10 nights of Ramadan,
SubhanAllah,
what dua can we make therein?
The prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam answered this question for us.
But when Allah forgives you its full proof,
when He forgives you, the ground ground upon
which you made the sin,
the ground is made to forget.
It is effaced. It is obliterated.
The angel that recorded the sin is made
to forget. The ink that recorded the sin
is lifted.
When you meet Allah on the day of
qiyama,
you meet Him as if you never did
the sin in the first place.
My dear brothers and sisters in Islam, we
begin in the name of Allah and we
request praises and blessings upon Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam.
I love you all for the sake of
Allah and I welcome you all to our
Ramadan series. Another episode therein.
My dearest brothers and sisters in Islam,
the last 10 nights of Ramadan.
SubhanAllah.
What do I can we make therein?
The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam answered
this question for us.
And it was a question actually asked to
him by his beloved wife, the mother of
the believers, Aisha
She asked the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
that, oh messenger of Allah, if I feel
this confidence, I'm going to paraphrase the narration
to make it more palatable to you all.
If
I feel this experience that tonight is the
night, meaning the night of power is actually
happening, I'm living through it,
what should I say?
He said to us, say
Allah
SubhanAllah.
SubhanAllah.
Row Allah.
You are the one
who loves
to
I'm going to use the Arabic word, dafu,
because I'm going to explain it further just
now. It's normally translated as forgiveness, but it
means more than that. You love to forgive,
right? But it means more than that. I'll
explain that just now. So
shower upon me this Afro.
Now when I first learned about this narration
or perhaps some time after, I was contemplating
that SubhanAllah,
Aisha was
such a dedicated special worship of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala. She's in the month of Ramadan.
She's worshiping Allah throughout Ramadan. She's been amazing
and she was amazing in her sadaqa as
well.
And then the last 10 nights of Ramadan
arrives and she asks the Prophet this question
sadaallahu alaihi wa sallam. And he says, you
know what? You've been amazing
but if you want some special advice for
these last 10 nights, especially when you feel
you are living through Laylul Qadr, go ask
Allah to forgive you. Go ask Allah to
give you this Afu. SubhanAllah,
she hasn't been sinning,
she hasn't been sinning and there's so many
things she could ask for.
But he said
keep on asking Allah to shower upon you
this Sa'fuh.
Laa ilaha illallah.
SubhanAllah.
Now brothers and sisters in Islam, what is
Al A'fuh? Al A'fuh is not just forgiveness.
Forgiveness is from the realm of Ghafara,
another term in the Arabic language. And Ghafara
or words upon the scale denote a covering.
That's why a helmet, when a motorcyclist is
riding, they wear a helmet. In the Arabic
language, it's called the Migh Farah.
You see Migh Farah has the letters Ghafara
in it. It
is a covering that protects you. Forgiveness
is connected to the Bee's root letters gafara
Because when you sin, it has a consequence.
Allah
covers your sin and protects you from the
consequence.
That is rafara
and maghfira.
Al aafu
is something deeper,
subhanAllah. And
our scholars,
they teach us that this
name of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, Al-'Afu, which
the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam teaches us in
this hadith
Allah. You are
You love
showering upon us
be consequence,
the result of you being alaafu. Faafu Anni,
so shower upon me this result and consequence
of you being Al Afu. I'm deliberately keeping
it vague because I will get to Al
Afu just now.
But Allah is Al Afu.
This name of Allah
is a qualifying name.
Why? Because it furthers our understanding.
It qualifies our understanding of just how Allah
forgives.
SubhanAllah.
You see,
you might think that I have sinned. Allah
has covered it. What if it gets uncovered?
The angels wrote it, so they know about
it.
The world around us witnessed it. So the
world around us, the birds, the insects,
the
air,
the sun, whatever was around us when we
did the sin. These were witnesses. It's covered
but what if it gets uncovered?
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala alleviates this worry for
his slave and says Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
is Al A'fu. Al A'fu
refers to the one who doesn't just forgive
you but he obliterates
the sin.
He
blows it out of existence.
This is what Aisha radiAllahu anha is being
told to ask Allah for
during
the last 10 nights of Ramadan especially.
That You Allah
and now I'm going to give you the
translation of his name Al A'fu and the
term Al A'fu.
You Allah.
You are the one who loves to efface
and obliterate
our sins.
What does this mean? This means when you
sin, Allah forgives you or He covers your
sin a perfect covering. A covering that cannot
be uncovered. Even if it's in the knowledge
of somebody, Allah will cover it and it
will not be uncovered. They will not remember
it again.
This is the forgiveness he showers upon you,
my dear brother, in sustained
Islam. You see, let's say you delete something
on your computer. You did some sin on
your computer. You deleted it.
You might say,
I can get rid of it. I'm going
to delete it. It's gone. I'm going to
delete it. Who's going to find it? But,
you know, when you delete it, it goes
to that thing called the recycle bin.
Someone can go to the recycle bin and
find you a sign.
But let's say you say I'm a bit
more advanced than that. A bit more advanced.
I can delete it from the recycle
bin. I press control and delete.
I'm a bit more advanced. So they won't
find it in the recycle bin. Well, guess
what? Someone who is a computer expert
can find it on your hard disk
because
it doesn't mean that you've deleted, that it's
just disappeared.
All it means is the sector on your
hard disk has now been reopened for more
information to be saved over that information. But
the original information is there, the software that
can pull it out.
Wow. Maybe you didn't know this. But let's
say somebody says, you know, I'm a bit
more advanced in my computer skills.
Right? There's something called the low level format.
You go into the BIOS of the computer.
You don't even need to go into Windows.
You access the underlying operating
system and
you format,
low level format, the hard disk so that
the hard disk
is returned back to the day it was
born when the manufacturer created it. And this
is particularly with the older hard disks, of
course, that had this metallic platter with readwrite
disks over it. It would access information.
Now, let's say you did this. Well, this
is very good. This really covers
things up. But
read write heads could only cover a certain
segment of
the hard disk during the low level format
process. Which means what? Which means there will
be chatter
at the edges
of the hard disk. That if some board
analyst
wanted to, he would sit down with this
chatter and he may piece together ideas of
what you used to do when you used
to use the computer. So it's not foolproof.
SubhanAllah.
It's not foolproof. And today with computers and
the different places you've gone to but the
cloud is recording it. Google maps is capturing
it perhaps. Or is it the Apple maps?
Whatever system you're using.
The point is it's not foolproof.
But when Allah forgives you, it is foolproof.
When He forgives you,
the ground upon which you made this sin,
the ground is made to forget.
It's effaced. It's obliterated.
The angel that recorded the sin is made
to forget. The ink that recorded the sin
is lifted.
When you meet Allah on the day of
Qiyamah,
you meet him as if you never did
the sin in the first place.
Oh Allah, you love to obliterate
the sins of your slaves. You face them,
obliterate and you face our sins. Ameen.
Remember this dua
during the last 10 nights of Ramadan. I
and until next time, Assalamu alaikum.
and until next time, Assalamu alaikum.
