So today, we are gonna be
taking a dua from Surat Al An Kabut,
chapter 29, Ayah 30.
Although in,
there is 2 more dua on ayah 21
and 24
that we had to overlook
because of the sake of time, so we
can find cover
all the dua that we can within the
last few days that are left for us
in Ramadan.
A dua is Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is
calling here,
Nabiullah Alut when he says,
He says, my lord,
help me against the people of corruption.
Help me against the people of corruption. We
all find,
meet people around the world,
at workplace, and family members sometimes, you know,
Muslims, sometimes non Muslims,
and not all of them, not all of
them are the same level of goodness and
righteousness,
and maybe they will help you, Subhan'am, pay
your redeemer, iman iota'a.
A lot of them could lead to corruption,
unfortunately.
So, that's why it's important that you seek
Allah Subhan'al's protection
against those who could lead to corruption, which
is a dua of.
You Allah, help me against the people of
corruption. But let's take a back the backstory
of the dua first, Insha'Allah.
So the ayat starts from ayah number 28
where Allah says,
And remember when Lot rebuked the men of
his people, you certainly commit a shameful deed
that no man has ever done before you.
What do we learn from this about
homosexuality
and
lusting over the same gender.
According to this ayah, it started with whom?
With the people of Lut. Not before them.
So, before that it never existed according to
this ayah because Allah says,
Like no one ever thought of this before
you.
No one ever behaved like this before you.
And then he explained,
He says, do you really lust after other
men,
abuse the travelers, and practice immorality openly in
your gatherings?
Sounds like our society is.
Like literally, it sounds like our society these
days, unfortunately.
That lust is in the wrong place.
And they're not just that, they unfortunately abuse
the travelers here because they've not maybe practiced
this among themselves.
They actually, they practice this,
against travelers
on their way when they travel to the
Al Mustan. They take advantage of their,
of their being alone or being lonely.
That's why they take advantage of them.
And, in your own gathering you do everything
publicly. You're not ashamed of it, you're not
even hiding it basically. You're doing it publicly,
he says.
What did his people say to him?
They said to him,
bring Allah's punishment upon us if what you
say is true.
Nowadays, unfortunately,
in and, of course, this administration that we
live in, you see a lot of,
the people from the left
support this kind of, you know, practice and
this behavior.
They're coming out openly as devil worshipers,
satanic beliefs, and they come with their signs
and symbols and
openly in the streets,
no shame, and completely denying Allah
right to rule on this earth. So, they
say just like as if they're saying, where
is your God basically?
Bring your God if that God exists.
So, he said,
He said, my Lord,
my Lord, help me against the people of
corruption.
Like I can't do it on my own.
Like I'm one man against all these people.
Help me against them. Subhanallah,
sometimes
we find ourselves as Muslims
like the only voice.
We're not necessarily the only one, but the
most vocal and open to say this is
wrong, this is unacceptable,
this needs to change.
So he says,
So, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala take us right
now from one scene to the other scene.
Lut, in that vulnerable moment,
he feels kind
of like, being overwhelmed
with the behavior and the practice of these
people,
and he says, my Lord, help me against
those people's corruption.
So, now it shifts to a different scene
in a different location.
What location was that? Ibrahim alaihis salam.
And it didn't give us the details, but
gave us immediately part of that related to
Ruth alaihis salam because Ibrahim alaihis salam one
day
he had
guests, 3 people, they were traveling
and they stopped by the place of Ibrahim
alaihis salam, so he says come on in
for hospitality.
They were very handsome, they were very beautiful.
And, Ibrahim alayhi salaam, he went and he,
had a roasted
cow for them.
He pushed the food near their hands.
Why don't you eat?
When he saw their hands not reaching their
food,
he found it's gonna be awkward. And he
felt
he kinda like felt uneasy about them. And
he said to them,
why don't you eat? He said, Don't worry,
we are also Arabic. We are the messengers
of your Lord. We're going to the house
and
the people of Lut,
And, they explained to him their mission.
We are going to destroy that village and
that place.
Because the people of that place, they persisted
in wrongdoing.
So, Ibrahim alaihi wasallam, he started pleading with
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala with these angels.
But, Luther is there, he's still there working
with them, he's working on them, he's trying.
Like, do you think we don't know?
We know that he's there. We know that
he's there.
We are gonna give him and his family
safety except
except for his wife, Kadm Al Gabireen. She
was among those who are also doomed.
Now, when they came to Lut, see Abu
Hamodaq Abi Hamdara,
Lut, he felt, oh man, it's going to
be difficult
because he knew his people.
They they look for these, travelers.
They look for these, people who are coming
by themselves.
And when he saw how they look, they
are very handsome, they are beautiful, realize it's
gonna be not
easy. He's he kinda like felt distressed
and worried by their arrival.
Don't worry,
have no fear, no grief.
He says,
we're gonna rescue you and save you and
your family except for your wife. She's one
of those who are doomed.
And, they said to him,
We are certainly bringing down a punishment from
heaven upon the people of the city for
their rebelliousness.
They're gonna be doomed.
And
we did leave some some of its ruins
as a clear lesson for people of understanding.
Some they say that places were the
Dead Sea
in Palestine and Jordan.
Allah knows best if that's the real place
for that, but Allah says we have left
something for you to see so you could
reflect on. So, the dua of Lut alaihis
salam here, the dua of the distressed.
He says, Allah
help me against the people
of corruption.
So, whenever you make that dua,
you keep in your mind that you make
dua for a specific, let's say, group in
your mind, whoever they are, Whether it's somebody
at work, somebody in the family, somebody here,
somebody there,
because the people of corruption,
unfortunately,
they are so many protect them from the
So, we're gonna make the dua together.
