			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
