Shadee Elmasry – Allah Protects You Through Dua EP. 7 Ramadan 2024

Here's the beauty of this, when Allah loves somebody, or when,

let's say a mother loves a child, or when you love your car, or when

you love anything, what do you do? You keep it close to you. You keep

it real close, you guard it, you cover it, you put a garage door in

front, you lock it, you make sure there are barriers between it and

getting harmed. And oftentimes that comes in the form of threats

and prohibitions. You tell your kid don't go out at night so he

doesn't get hurt. Don't go down the steps so he doesn't fall.

Don't do this. All those prohibitions. If you do this,

you're gonna get in big trouble. All those prohibitions and threats

are in backed doors protections of something that you love

Allah subhanho wa Taala is teaching us in the same way.

Oftentimes there are threats and there are prohibitions that are

all based on Allah's love and this is one of them. Allah subhanaw

taala tells us in the Quran, who the only Esther Gibler come call

upon Me I answer you in the lead the NASDAQ be Runa and a bed that

he said when a Johanna muda Karim which means Verily those who are

too arrogant to worship me. They will enter Hellfire humiliated. So

ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada is linking here, you're not asking me for

your needs first. Those who are arrogant, they're going to go to

the hellfire. So Allah links when you don't ask for your need, he

has actually telling you the cause. When you don't ask Allah

for something that you need, and you said I could do it myself.

It's right in front of me. I got my arms, I got my legs, I got my

money. I got time. I could do it myself. Your diagnosis for that as

arrogance. And arrogance leads to hellfire. But Allah also called

dua here worship. So here Allah is telling you benefit yourself is

worship. An act of benefiting yourself is an act of worship. So

here it's two for one, I get the deen and the dunya. Really, it's

like a sales pitch. Do you want the deen and the dunya at the same

time, that ask Allah for your material needs and desires. Ro

mentioned earlier Allah said Oh, Ibrahim, if you need salt, ask me.

So material needs the Sahaba went and they needed sandal strap they

would praise Takata da for sandal straps. So Allah Tala wants us

connected to him at all times. And he's even putting Hellfire there

to protect us from going into this realm when and believed that we

don't need him anymore. And this is why would only as the Gibler

come call upon me our answer. There's also something else about

this is one of the side of here and he said, people go and they

ask other human beings because they see those other human beings

right in front of them. Whereas Allah is unseen to us, it's much

easier to ask them when you see that someone you don't see this is

why Allah has to constantly say, Come to me come to me, rather than

go to people. Now people, if you look carefully at them, they have

limited time, limited access, limited ability, they get

frustrated with you, why do they get frustrated with us? Because

we're asking them too much? Why are we asking them too much

because they're weak. So one of the side of hate is saying, look

at the weakness of the person that is that you're asking, and look at

how quickly he's going to be fed up with you from asking once,

twice, three times, and look at how much time it takes for them to

fulfill your need. Whereas in contrast, you have this verse,

Allah subhanaw taala is not only telling you to come to him, he's

commanded you to come to him, and he's threatening you for not

coming to him. Because he has, he's the one who is ahead for this

meaning he's the one who's capable of doing this. And he's the one

who never tired from giving, and never runs out of things to give.

So why would we go to the creation, when we can go to Allah

and what this means is believing in who is the absolute giver, the

absolute givers, Allah, people, we may need to go to them only

because this is the way of life that's it. You have to go apply

for a job you have to go ask for a woman's hand in marriage, you have

to do these things physically because that's the way of life not

because they're the absolute givers. The real absolute giver

who really controls the matter is Allah subhanaw taala. If you liked
