Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam

00:00:03 --> 00:00:07

ala Rasulillah. While early he was sahbihi wa Manuela, my name is

00:00:07 --> 00:00:10

Shadi and muscley. And this Ramadan, I'm going to be sharing

00:00:10 --> 00:00:14

with you everything possible that we can cover in these next 30 days

00:00:14 --> 00:00:17

on the subject matter of Da it's one of the most important subjects

00:00:17 --> 00:00:22

in Islam. Allah subhanho wa Taala has literally linked to dua

00:00:22 --> 00:00:25

manmade, it's synonymous with worship, the act of dua, which is

00:00:25 --> 00:00:29

supplication inside or outside of prayer. asking Allah for our

00:00:29 --> 00:00:33

needs, is a subject that encapsulates so much about our

00:00:33 --> 00:00:36

belief in Allah and our submission to Him and the first thing we're

00:00:36 --> 00:00:40

going to talk about are the three greatest misconceptions that

00:00:40 --> 00:00:42

people have on this subject of supplication.

00:01:00 --> 00:01:03

Now, the first thing and you may know a lot of people who have this

00:01:03 --> 00:01:08

misconception is they imagine that DHA is only for major things. Many

00:01:08 --> 00:01:12

people have this idea that DHA is only for when you have cancer when

00:01:12 --> 00:01:16

you're about to die if you've had a car accident, and many people

00:01:16 --> 00:01:21

will not ever ever make dua until something terrible happens.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:24

companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27

to make dua and ask Allah for help, even when they go to the

00:01:27 --> 00:01:31

market to buy sandals one night Prophet Ibrahim alayhi salam who

00:01:31 --> 00:01:35

used to receive revelation from Allah all the time, he was eating

00:01:35 --> 00:01:38

his dinner late he heard a voice saying, oh, Ibrahim, why are you

00:01:38 --> 00:01:41

eating your dinner so late tonight? This is not your norm. He

00:01:41 --> 00:01:46

said all Hola. I went from house to house to try to sell something

00:01:46 --> 00:01:50

to borrow money to borrow food and I couldn't find anyone to interact

00:01:50 --> 00:01:54

with or to trade with until late at night. So Allah Tala responded

00:01:54 --> 00:01:57

to him and he said Is this what a friend does with a friend or

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59

colleague because family means someone very close to you,

00:02:00 --> 00:02:03

Ibrahim, you don't ask me what kind of kalila might to you and

00:02:03 --> 00:02:06

you to me when you're hungry and you ever asked me so Prophet

00:02:06 --> 00:02:10

Ibrahim said Oh ALLAH will Should I ask you even for my dinner,

00:02:10 --> 00:02:15

Allah Tala responded to him. Oh Ibrahim My Khalil, if you need

00:02:15 --> 00:02:19

some salt asked me. So Allah, Allah is telling us that dua is

00:02:19 --> 00:02:23

for every little need that you have. And you shouldn't imagine

00:02:23 --> 00:02:28

that dua is only for major things, even a prick, you touch the thorn

00:02:28 --> 00:02:32

and you want that pain to go away. That's a dire need. So a dire need

00:02:33 --> 00:02:36

in the field in the context of supplication and prayer to Allah

00:02:36 --> 00:02:41

the bar is very low, unlike the dire need and Islamic law, which

00:02:41 --> 00:02:44

is life and death. So when you hear about supplicating to Allah

00:02:44 --> 00:02:48

when you're in a state of dire need, don't imagine it's the dire

00:02:48 --> 00:02:51

need of the sacred law, which is the dire need that makes haram

00:02:51 --> 00:02:55

Hala life and death or life and limb as they say sometimes that I

00:02:55 --> 00:02:58

could lose a limb I could go blind or I could lose my arm or I can go

00:02:58 --> 00:03:01

to jail. But in this realm of dua, it's much lower than that.

00:03:01 --> 00:03:07

Furthermore, dire need is anything that you want not just need. Many

00:03:07 --> 00:03:12

people also imagine dua is only for like negative causes. I have a

00:03:12 --> 00:03:16

sickness, I had a car crash I have poverty rather than for positive

00:03:16 --> 00:03:18

causes that I want to add something to my life I want to

00:03:18 --> 00:03:21

make something better. These are also classified as needs because

00:03:21 --> 00:03:24

you want them your heart is unsettled without them. In

00:03:24 --> 00:03:29

conclusion, dua is not just for major needs. Do art should not

00:03:29 --> 00:03:34

only be at the side of a hospital bed, or at a funeral. Da is for

00:03:34 --> 00:03:39

every big and every small, negative or positive. If you liked
