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
