00:00:13 --> 00:00:13
			Inshallah,
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			5, 10 minutes max,
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			for the reminder.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			I had something in my mind, but, subhanallah,
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			this supplication
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			came to
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27
			my mind right now. I will change
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			the topic that I prepared
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			to discuss with you, my brothers.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			What is the meaning? Why? What is the
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			wisdom?
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			We have to say
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			10 times
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			in our position
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			right away before salam?
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			We need to understand why. What is the
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			benefit for that? What is the wisdom, the
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			secret behind that?
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			And Nabi sallahu alaihi wa sallam mentioned
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			for us that supplication because he loves us.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			Peace be upon him. And he taught us
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			every single
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			way to gain more from
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			Allah
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			and to prove ourselves
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			with Allah
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:17
			that we are the servants of Allah.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			When we look at how Allah put
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			our prayers in order,
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			we pray Fajr,
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			2 raka.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			We pray Madrib,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			3 raka,
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32
			and we pray and Asr and Isha 4
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			raka.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			When we look at how Allah
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			put them in order,
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41
			we start our day, like, right now with
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			the Fajr prayer
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			and Dor and As
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			and sunset prayer which is Maghrib prayer.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			Why Maghrib 3 Rakah?
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:51
			Odd number.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:52
			Why is
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			it not
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			4 raka like Isha or Maghrib?
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			Or
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			we can say 2 raka like Fajr. We
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:03
			start the Fajr at morning too, and we
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			have to end the day up with the
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:05
			2 raka.
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			It's fair. But no.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			This is for the purpose.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:10
			Allah
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15
			commanded us to pray 3 raka in the
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			end of the day. For what?
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:18
			To testify
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:20
			for Allah
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			because Allah is wet.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			This
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			is hadith
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			Allah created
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:29
			everything,
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:31
			needs
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			to each other
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			except Allah
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			He doesn't need any help from anyone.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			Allah created,
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			you know, male and female.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			Allah created,
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			you know, men and women, and they have
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			to come together
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			and to
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			help one another, support one another, and have
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			the relation for the sake of Allah
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			to have a chance
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59
			for the offspring to worship Allah
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			to be Khalifa
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			on earth,
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:06
			and even for animals, azaqumullah.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			Animals, we have male
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:12
			animal and female animal, the same idea.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:13
			SubhanAllah.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			Even for the trees,
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			we have female tree
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:18
			and
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			male tree.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:21
			If we forget
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:23
			to
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			connect them together
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			for pollutions,
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			you know, for the pump tree, for the
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			dates, for the tamil,
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			If we forget to do that, Allah
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			commanded the wind
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40
			to do that for us.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:44
			SubhanAllah.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			Even if we do not pay attention for
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:48
			that, but Allah
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			did that for us.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			Even for,
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			you know, the positive
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			and
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			the negative
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:59
			for the light that we have right now,
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			it will not work
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			by one wing.
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			You have to have both of them,
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:05
			the positive
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			and the negative.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			Muhammad Rasulullah.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			And this is why Allah mentioned
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:22
			We created from every everything
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:24
			spouse
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:25
			or
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			two things,
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28
			male and female.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			You might be
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			able to remember Allah Subhanahu Ta'ala and go
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			back to Allah. If we remember Allah,
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			what we have to do?
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			Fafirruuuil
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			Allah.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			Go back to Allah
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			Now we come back to understand
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			why we have to say
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:49
			We have to testify
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			in at morning
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			and evening,
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			every single day.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:57
			Because when we pray,
		
00:04:57 --> 00:05:01
			we pray maghrib 3 rakas, which is wetr.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			And the prophet Muhammad commanded
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			us to pray
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			another prayer
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			as ad prayer in the end of the
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			day. Which prayer? In
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:15
			the end
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22
			Make the last prayer in your night
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			as odd prayer.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:25
			1
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:26
			or 3
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30
			or 5 or 7 and went to shahood.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:33
			All of them came from prophet Muhammad sallallahu
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			alaihi wa sallam. All of them are good.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:37
			Now we testify in the end of the
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			day with the salatul maghrib.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			We testify in the end of the night
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43
			with the salat al with
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			our actions.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:49
			Now we're praying 3 rakah for Maghrib. Now
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:52
			we're praying 1 rakah for wettah or 3
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			rakah or 5 or 7, you know, any
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:56
			odd number, it's good.
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:58
			We're
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:03
			testifying by our actions every single day, even
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			if we did not pay attention for that,
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			but this is the wisdom for that. Now
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:10
			we need to testify by our tongues
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:11
			to say
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			what?
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:16
			No one has right to be worshiped but
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:17
			Allah,
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			Almighty Allah.
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:20
			The one who has
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			right
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:25
			to take to give life and to take
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			the souls out of the bodies.
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			You see where you meet.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			Every single day when we go to our
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:32
			beds,
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:33
			you know, I have
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:36
			this is the smallest
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:37
			death.
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:41
			We practice death every single day and we
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			did not pay attention. When we wake up,
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			Alhamdulillah,
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			Allah gave me another chance of life.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:51
			Allah gave me another opportunity of life. This
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			is why we have to be very optimistic.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			When you wake up
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			and
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			you touch your bodies, alhamdulillah,
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			I'm still healthy. I can walk to the
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			Masjid. I can drive to the Masjid. I
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			can go to Allah's house.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:07
			You are the lucky
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:10
			person on earth because Allah gave you another
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:14
			chance to increase your good deeds as much
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			as you can. This is the point.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:19
			Be thankful and be grateful to Allah
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:23
			When you wake up and find yourself, alhamdulillah,
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:24
			I'm still healthy,
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:27
			nothing wrong wrong with my system, this is
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:28
			great from Allah
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			for every everybody of us. Now we testifying
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:36
			after Fajr prayer to say.
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			You said it after fajr. Now
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			you you did the zakah,
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			yeah, for your your body, and you did
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			the zakah for your tongue,
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:58
			and you will say it after Maghrib prayer
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00
			the same way,
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			to sit in your condition.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:05
			Don't even don't say salaam alaykum for your
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:09
			brother or the people around you. Even though
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			make yourself busy with the tasbih,
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:13
			glorifying Allah
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:14
			or tahmid,
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			praising Allah
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			or takbir, magnifying Allah
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			No. This is before everything. When you say,
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:22
			Assalamu Alaikum
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			Assalamu alaikum,
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			Now, this is the perfect time
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			to testify by your tongue. There is no
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:34
			one has right to be worshipped but Allah.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:35
			Remember, every time,
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:39
			every single day when you pray Fajr,
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:43
			sit in your condition, in your position, and
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:45
			say count them 10 times.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:49
			And the same idea after sunset prayer, after
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:52
			Maghrib prayer. You know? Now you're testifying by
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:53
			your actions,
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:55
			at morning,
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:56
			you
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			or at the end of the night at
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:01
			the end of the day, and you're testifying
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			by your tongue in the beginning of the
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			day and the beginning
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			of the night. Now you are
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:08
			pure
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:09
			servant
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:13
			for your Lord. May Allah subhanahu ta'ala make
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:14
			all of us
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			a a real servant of him, to serve
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20
			him and to worship him and to be
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			obedience real obedience to Allah.
