Shadee Elmasry – Why should I make Dua EP. 2 Ramadan 2024

The next misconception people have is that dua is only for the weak.

There was a time when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, his

army was extremely strong.

And this was the Battle of grenade they had already taken Mecca. Now

they're going to take this twin city of Mecca of thought, and for

the first time the Muslim army overwhelmed their enemy. And as a

result of that, the Sahaba were not busy with Da and dhikr. And

asking Allah for help. And what happened, they actually started to

lose the battle against this weaker enemy, they started to lose

the battle to the point that the Prophet was so some Allah when he

was setting was surrounded by only seven or nine companions, until

Allah subhana wa Tada bought the Sakina down upon their hearts

again, and they remembered Allah and had victory.

Now contrast that with the Battle of better, the Battle of beds or

the muscles, we're not losing that battle, not even for one second,

from the moment the battle began, until the end, it was a complete

rout, although they were the weaker one, outnumbered by three,

three to one. But what happened before that battle the entire army

all day, and all night before that, was making dua. And so this

concept that Da is only for the weak is a big misconception. And

what we need to why we need to, even if we're in a state of

strength is that dua is servitude to Allah, it's showing you your

humility to Allah. And it's also reminding you who is the real DOER

of things, we have no power in and of ourselves. And when we're

apparently strong when we have resources when we have numbers.

When we have wealth, when we apparently looks stronger than our

enemies, we're actually forget being veiled from our true

reality, which is that we're very weak. This is actually a fitna or

a tribulation or a misleading from the actual truth. It's a test we

appear stronger than somebody else. So we forget our neediness

with to Allah subhana wa Tada. And that's the whole point. The whole

point here is that if you think that dua is only for the weak,

you're actually not realizing that you're always weak. Even when you

have all the trappings of power, how many ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada

says, Major, big armies have lost to small armies, why no one truly

has power. And if you imagine yourself to jet power, you're on

falsehood, right? You're you have a misconception of reality. And

that's going to lead to bad results. So this concept of

imagining that we don't need help is the first misconception. It's

the it's the foundation of this misconception that drives for the

weak, while the misconception that you're not always weak, we're

constantly weak. Imagine how much of our body we have no control

over, you don't have any control over your heart, you don't have

any control over your stomach, you don't have any control over your

brain, you don't have any control over little tiny viruses that

could enter your system at any time. You don't have control over

the passengers of the other drivers on the road, who can rail

into you who could be drunk who could be texting, you have control

over your use of your own wheel or so we imagine get, but you don't

have control over the passengers, other drivers on the road. If you

think about how much we're in need, you realize we are

constantly always in need, you have no control over the electric

company and when the electricity is gonna go down, you have no

control over the water when they're gonna test it and when

you're gonna have do something and you lose water, you just have no

control over our lives. And that's the actual reality. Everything

else is a Rama from Allah Allah that He veils us from that.

Otherwise we'd be too nervous all the time. But when we think about

dua, we have to always remember how powerless we are. So the

conception that dua is only for the weak, in a sense, it's

correct. And the reality is, we're always weak. There's no other

category, every creature is in absolute dire need.
