Shadee Elmasry – Giving up Dua EP. 18 Ramadan 2024

During the filler for Abubakar and Omar, there were a lot of battles

that the Sahaba went into. Once a hobby I want to point them out to

you. His name is Allah ignant Hubbard I mean, he's out far away

in the lands of Bahrain next to Persia. And there he's leading a

group of Muslims who are traveling through the desert to face their

enemy. When the camels for some reason, got nervous and all

scattered, leaving the the soldiers in a patch of desert with

no food, no water and no transportation. This used to

happen to Arabs all the time, and they would sit and just dig their

graves and wait to die as you're lost in the desert, the journey so

long and you have no transport, no food, no water. So he saw all

these, these soldiers in complete state of desperation, he gathered

them all. And he said, call them that and it was salata and feta.

They prayed French, he stood up after salah, and he gave a rousing

speech. He said, Oh people, have you traveled out and left your

families? They said yes. Have you gone out for the sake of Allah and

nobody else? I said, Yes. Are you going to face the enemy and lose

your lives? They said yes. I said, Have you just prayed slotted

feathered in Gemma for the sake of Allah, nobody else? They said yes.

He said, Do you think someone will do all of these things, and then

Allah will abandon them.

They said no.

Infinite hub that me is doing something which we call tow us

suitable, amen, is to draw near to Allah with your DUA by presenting

deeds. This is one of the best ways to get your DUA answered,

which is to present your good deeds to Allah, not boasting and

taking credit for it. But you did do it. You intended it, and you

did it only for the sake of Allah. And now you're looking to cash

out. Some people think if I do this, I get my reward in this

life, and not in the next life. That's not true. Once I'm a man

came to the Sahaba, we're sitting around after a battle, and saying

so and so was amazing. He did so many kills, he kills so that he

did so much to the enemy. And another Sahabi said, Too bad, you

all praised him. Now he won't get his reward in the afterlife,

because you only get one reward in this life for the next. That's

what he thinks. The Prophet said, No, he will get his reward in this

life by you praising him and loving him, and he will get his

reward in Africa. Because if you did something for Allah, you can

get both. If you did it for the dunya you only get the dunya. So

to us, Salah is saying Oh Allah, I did this for your sake. So grant

me this. So they start started making dua and Allah had that. I

mean, it's such an intense dua, and the people were watching him

all the way until the sun came up. When the sun came up and they

could start to see each other clearly. They listened and they

said, quiet. Listen up. They heard bubbling coming out of the ground.

Lo and behold, a spring had erupted out of the ground. They

all drank from it. They dug it up the water Gosport, they drank from

it, they washed themselves. And the camels came throughout the

day, one at a time from all different directions to drink that

water. And they got their stuff. And they said, By Allah, not one

thing was missing. Not one package fell, not one. Campbell went

astray, everything that we needed was there. We have another story,

from this time of the bene of Surah e to the children of Israel,

where three youth were stuck in a cave. And in this story, one of

them asked Allah subhanaw taala to move the rock that made them stuck

in the cave, by a good deed he did, which was he was very good to

his parents. He said, Oh Allah, my parents were old. And I had taken

an oath never to feed my kids before my parents, except one day

I was late. With the herd of sheep came back, my parents had fallen

asleep, and I had an oath. So I sat guard over the milk, even

though my kids were crying, and I waited for my parents to wake up,

gave the milk then I gave my kids milk, Oh Allah, if I did this for

your sake, then move the rock. So a rock moved 1/3 of the way. Now a

third person, he didn't have such a general mid such a such a good

deed. Such a pious good deed he had just honest business, who was

just honest in business business is not charity. Honesty in

business is enough to give people their dues, is enough the prophesy

centum said the honest merchant is with the martyrs on the Day of

Judgment. So one was generous to his family. The second was just

fair. So a man worked for him. And he owed him a male sheep and a

female sheep. Right after his work, the worker said, I'm going

to travel. I don't need these sheep now save them for me for

later. So the man left and the owner of the sheep took these

sheep and married them together or mated them together after 10

yours the men remembered, oh, I need to sheep. That guy owes me

two sheep. So he went, and he said, Remember me, I worked for

you that one day you owe me a male sheep and a female sheep. He said

that oh Valley over there. He looked, he found it filled with

sheep said all that's yours. He said, How? You only owe me two? He

said yes, but I made them. Therefore anything that comes out

of that product is yours to so that is fairness and justice in

business, okay? Because he was told, save them. For me. They're

not your sheep anymore. They're my sheep. But just save them to me.

So if you take someone's money, and you go and invest it for them,

while they're away, without their permission, and you make a ton of

money, that money should be theirs. And in fact, of course,

there are discussions about that. They may say you did haram, but

the money's also check your your your fit for that. But this man

was fair in business so that he said, All right, if I did this,

for your sake, move the rock in Iraq moved. Third one was neither

generous nor fair in business. In fact, he was very sinful, but he

had enough fear of Allah not to go from minor, from major sins to

worse since you have to realize that this two deserves in the

sight of Allah, it earns you some reward with Allah. This man he

had, he loved a woman. That woman was a cousin of his. And in his

eyes, she was the most beautiful person in the world who wanted to

marry her so badly, but she rejected him. She didn't want to

marry. Time passed. She fell on hard times. She needed money. He

was rich. She came to him and she said, I need money. I'm in a big

debt. He said, Well, you need me. No, you know what I want. She

capitulated, she came into his house, he closed the door, and she

sat down on the bed, he pushed her down onto her back, began doing

what he was planning to do. Until she spoke. She said, fear Allah

and don't break the seal. She was a virgin. So he's already done all

the sins, but He feared Allah, and he got off her. So here, you don't

even have someone pious, you have someone who's a sinner, but he

fears Allah enough not to make his stet sin really bad and hurt

somebody else really already hurt her. He already disgraced her, but

he didn't go too far in it. And just as a result of that, Allah

moved the rock even more he said, Oh Allah I moved off I got up off

of this woman whom I wanted so badly. And uh, you know, when a

person's desire to take over, it's extremely hard to make a sound

decision. And the rock moved. If I did this, for your sake, move the

rock. This is all called to us soon, the AMA. And why did the

Prophet choose this story? Because each one was a different level of

piety. Not everyone's going to be like that such a pious son. Not

everyone's going to be in the opportunity to be a fair

businessman, but most of us will be of the opportunity that I'm

gonna go commit 100% of this and I stopped at 50 I stopped that 60 At

least I didn't make it worse. This is all called tell us soon, Bill

Amell and we should utilize this in our in our dua so that it can

be more likely to be answered.
