And that du'a
This dua is from the family, for the
family.
Can you guys hear me?
Okay. We got we got one.
So this dua is a very special dua.
The Dua of for the family as Allah
Subhanahu mentions Surat Al Furqan
chapter 25,
number 63. Actually, a matter of fact, it's
60 exactly to be specific, it's 60, 74.
So from the,
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,
they are those who pray,
our Lord bless us with 5 spouses
and offspring
who will be the joy of our hearts
and make us models for the righteous.
So he, his,
says here,
And they and there are those who pray,
those who say those who make that dua.
What is what Allah's talking about? Anyone
knows the context?
Who are these people? Allah's talking about those
who say and those who pray and those
who make that dua. Who are they? Dua.
These are the worshippers
of the most merciful.
Because if you go back in the Surah,
going back to aya number 63.
Aya number 63, Allah says,
And the true servants of the most compassionate
are those who walk on the earth humbly.
And when the foolish address address them improperly,
they will respond with peace.
Allah has mentioned many beautiful qualities about them.
Those who when they are approaching,
they do well, they stay away from haram.
When they, protect themselves against committing adultery or
fornication, they keep themselves
just. Those are so I mentioned many of
them
And
among what they say, he said,
they are day and night in a and
worship to Allah
And among all these beautiful qualities,
there was one particular thing
to their families, and that was towards the
end. Towards the end of the series of
their qualities,
he said,
A gift, absolute gift, there is nothing under
it. Like, we don't deserve it, but we
want this to be a gift from you,
my lord.
Now the word
sometimes might be might be misunderstood by saying
from amongst our offspring or among our spouses,
which means not all of them. No, but
here actually means which
means all of them. You Allah,
You Allah, grant us.
Make all our our families, our offspring, our
families,
whether
So they're making du'an for their spouses,
and they make du'an for their families,
their children, their offspring.
What exactly they're asking for?
You Allah, make our spouses, our children
What does
mean in in Arabic language?
So the original meaning of
the word comes from
or which is basically means coolness or cold.
Opposite to heat.
Why would the Arab use the coolness or
cold for comfort?
Why is that?
Because their life is always hot, Ajayama. They
live in the desert, it's always hot for
them. So, when they wanna express comfort, they
express comfort with coolness and cool.
So, they
use
So, when they say,
What does that mean? It say, It
means coolness
for our eyes which means comfort to our
eyes.
Why the eyes in particular? Why didn't they
say the coolness of my heart, the coolness
of my heart, my my life, the the
coolness of my eyes?
Many things.
One of these things is that when they
say in the Arab culture, whenever they wanna,
talk about tears,
tears of joy and tears of grief.
So the tears of joy they describe as
being what? Being
cool.
The
person is so happy. He showed joyful
joyful tears. These are cool joyful tears.
But if it was out of sadness or
grief, they say,
which means hot.
It's not cool anymore.
So, the expression of the eye is the
expression of joy that you are so much
so joyful to the moment of what?
You start tearing up.
SubhanAllah. Just like, you know, how the act
the the opposite effect can have the same
exact results. Like, when someone's in extreme joy
or extreme sadness, what is the act? What
are the results here?
Tearing up. And that's what the Imam al
Hazem says,
sometimes,
how that opposite attracts. He brings this example.
He goes, don't you see that sometimes,
the opposite things give the exact same effect
because he's was referring to the subject when
people are looking for a spouse. They're always
looking for someone who's absolute match.
They want someone to be matched so they
can find that. Look, sometimes the complete opposite
also can be the same exact joy.
Like, many some of different qualities completely
can have the same exact effect as well
just like the effect of, tearing up for
extreme joy and extreme sadness. So even Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala express that because
again coolness of the eyes coolness of the
eye. Also,
the eye is where people see what?
The outcome, the effect.
So when you look at somebody, where where
do you find joy or grief? By
glancing at it, seeing it. So when you
see something beautiful,
it result with that kind of moment of
joy.
When you see something sad, you start tearing
up as a result of that. So that's
why he said,
which means make our glance at them,
bring to us that coolness to our eyes,
in that meaning.
So, again, the meaning of in
the coolness of the eye is because,
looking at them, very pleasant. So how is
that? What does that mean?
And make us our lord,
make
us morals for the righteous.
Now when he says
make them coolness of our eyes, he also
brought
the concept of righteousness over here. If we
can ask the parents to take their kids
within the trees for the moment.
So he said,
make us models for the righteous.
Obviously, no one wants to be a model
for the wicked.
Although, unfortunately, this society will lie, you'll be
surprised.
Like, people, they wanna be models for the
wicked. It's like, the example of, I would
have been love of, yeah, I knew. Man
is a bad * lot and man is,
and so they don't care. Sometimes they they
brag about that stuff. But even
the that's the meaning of being a role
model, to be a man of the righteous.
And he says that,
they ask in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala so
that our spouses, our children, when we look
at them,
they are pleasing to our eyes, bring comfort
to our eyes because we see them
They are in obedience to Allah Subhanahu. That's
what brings us comfort when you look at
our children.
Not just because they're successful in the duniya.
No. What matters to be successful in the
akhirah. That's more important.
You find joy when you see your children
praying without being told to pray.
You find joy when you see your spouse,
waking up at night doing tahajjud without being
told.
You find joy and coolness in your eye
when you see your children read the Quran
and come into the masjid and helping with
good deeds and smile, you know, in in
in the face of other people. Like, all
these beautiful good deeds.
When you look at your children, your family,
it brings you joy and happiness
because that's the meaning of and that's the
meaning of make us models for the righteous.
Some, they say, actually, make us not model
for the righteous,
make us follow the model of the righteous.
So either way, it's still following the concept
of righteousness and obedience to Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala.
Allah,
he
gave the reward for those people
called These are the ones all these qualities
were mentioned before including this ayah. Those are
the ones who will receive the reward with
the elevated mansions.
Is high mansions and above the the highest
level in Jannah.
People will be looking up to those mansions
from from below. In Jannah,
people looking up to those mansions, which means
they are higher than the average reward, obviously.
And they shall receive the greetings
of peace
and welcome.
Like, they will find the ushers at the
gates of just leading in, come immediately.
Come on in. Peace be with you for
what you've what you've done in this dunya.
So that is the dua that we'll make
and we ask Allah to
give us
So we repeat the dua together.
