00:00:08--> 00:00:10

So today, we are gonna be

00:00:11--> 00:00:13

taking a dua from Surat Al An Kabut,

00:00:13--> 00:00:15

chapter 29, Ayah 30.

00:00:15--> 00:00:16

Although in,

00:00:17--> 00:00:20

there is 2 more dua on ayah 21

00:00:20--> 00:00:20

and 24

00:00:21--> 00:00:22

that we had to overlook

00:00:23--> 00:00:26

because of the sake of time, so we

00:00:26--> 00:00:27

can find cover

00:00:27--> 00:00:29

all the dua that we can within the

00:00:29--> 00:00:30

last few days that are left for us

00:00:30--> 00:00:31

in Ramadan.

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

A dua is Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is

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

calling here,

00:00:37--> 00:00:39

Nabiullah Alut when he says,

00:00:42--> 00:00:43

He says, my lord,

00:00:44--> 00:00:46

help me against the people of corruption.

00:00:47--> 00:00:50

Help me against the people of corruption. We

00:00:50--> 00:00:50

all find,

00:00:51--> 00:00:53

meet people around the world,

00:00:53--> 00:00:57

at workplace, and family members sometimes, you know,

00:00:57--> 00:00:58

Muslims, sometimes non Muslims,

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

and not all of them, not all of

00:01:01--> 00:01:02

them are the same level of goodness and

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

righteousness,

00:01:04--> 00:01:06

and maybe they will help you, Subhan'am, pay

00:01:06--> 00:01:07

your redeemer, iman iota'a.

00:01:08--> 00:01:10

A lot of them could lead to corruption,

00:01:10--> 00:01:10

unfortunately.

00:01:11--> 00:01:13

So, that's why it's important that you seek

00:01:13--> 00:01:14

Allah Subhan'al's protection

00:01:14--> 00:01:16

against those who could lead to corruption, which

00:01:16--> 00:01:18

is a dua of.

00:01:20--> 00:01:23

You Allah, help me against the people of

00:01:23--> 00:01:25

corruption. But let's take a back the backstory

00:01:25--> 00:01:26

of the dua first, Insha'Allah.

00:01:27--> 00:01:30

So the ayat starts from ayah number 28

00:01:30--> 00:01:32

where Allah says,

00:01:39--> 00:01:41

And remember when Lot rebuked the men of

00:01:41--> 00:01:44

his people, you certainly commit a shameful deed

00:01:44--> 00:01:47

that no man has ever done before you.

00:01:47--> 00:01:48

What do we learn from this about

00:01:49--> 00:01:50

homosexuality

00:01:50--> 00:01:51

and

00:01:51--> 00:01:53

lusting over the same gender.

00:01:54--> 00:01:56

According to this ayah, it started with whom?

00:01:56--> 00:01:59

With the people of Lut. Not before them.

00:01:59--> 00:02:02

So, before that it never existed according to

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

this ayah because Allah says,

00:02:06--> 00:02:08

Like no one ever thought of this before

00:02:08--> 00:02:08

you.

00:02:09--> 00:02:12

No one ever behaved like this before you.

00:02:12--> 00:02:13

And then he explained,

00:02:19--> 00:02:21

He says, do you really lust after other

00:02:21--> 00:02:22

men,

00:02:22--> 00:02:25

abuse the travelers, and practice immorality openly in

00:02:25--> 00:02:26

your gatherings?

00:02:27--> 00:02:29

Sounds like our society is.

00:02:30--> 00:02:32

Like literally, it sounds like our society these

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

days, unfortunately.

00:02:33--> 00:02:35

That lust is in the wrong place.

00:02:36--> 00:02:39

And they're not just that, they unfortunately abuse

00:02:39--> 00:02:41

the travelers here because they've not maybe practiced

00:02:41--> 00:02:42

this among themselves.

00:02:43--> 00:02:45

They actually, they practice this,

00:02:46--> 00:02:47

against travelers

00:02:48--> 00:02:50

on their way when they travel to the

00:02:50--> 00:02:52

Al Mustan. They take advantage of their,

00:02:53--> 00:02:55

of their being alone or being lonely.

00:02:55--> 00:02:57

That's why they take advantage of them.

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

And, in your own gathering you do everything

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

publicly. You're not ashamed of it, you're not

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

even hiding it basically. You're doing it publicly,

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

he says.

00:03:08--> 00:03:09

What did his people say to him?

00:03:15--> 00:03:16

They said to him,

00:03:16--> 00:03:19

bring Allah's punishment upon us if what you

00:03:19--> 00:03:20

say is true.

00:03:20--> 00:03:21

Nowadays, unfortunately,

00:03:22--> 00:03:24

in and, of course, this administration that we

00:03:24--> 00:03:26

live in, you see a lot of,

00:03:26--> 00:03:28

the people from the left

00:03:28--> 00:03:30

support this kind of, you know, practice and

00:03:30--> 00:03:31

this behavior.

00:03:31--> 00:03:34

They're coming out openly as devil worshipers,

00:03:34--> 00:03:37

satanic beliefs, and they come with their signs

00:03:37--> 00:03:38

and symbols and

00:03:38--> 00:03:40

openly in the streets,

00:03:40--> 00:03:43

no shame, and completely denying Allah

00:03:44--> 00:03:46

right to rule on this earth. So, they

00:03:46--> 00:03:48

say just like as if they're saying, where

00:03:48--> 00:03:49

is your God basically?

00:03:50--> 00:03:53

Bring your God if that God exists.

00:03:54--> 00:03:55

So, he said,

00:03:57--> 00:03:58

He said, my Lord,

00:03:58--> 00:04:01

my Lord, help me against the people of

00:04:01--> 00:04:02

corruption.

00:04:02--> 00:04:04

Like I can't do it on my own.

00:04:04--> 00:04:07

Like I'm one man against all these people.

00:04:07--> 00:04:08

Help me against them. Subhanallah,

00:04:09--> 00:04:09

sometimes

00:04:10--> 00:04:11

we find ourselves as Muslims

00:04:12--> 00:04:14

like the only voice.

00:04:15--> 00:04:17

We're not necessarily the only one, but the

00:04:17--> 00:04:20

most vocal and open to say this is

00:04:20--> 00:04:21

wrong, this is unacceptable,

00:04:22--> 00:04:23

this needs to change.

00:04:24--> 00:04:24

So he says,

00:04:32--> 00:04:34

So, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala take us right

00:04:34--> 00:04:37

now from one scene to the other scene.

00:04:37--> 00:04:39

Lut, in that vulnerable moment,

00:04:39--> 00:04:41

he feels kind

00:04:41--> 00:04:42

of like, being overwhelmed

00:04:43--> 00:04:45

with the behavior and the practice of these

00:04:45--> 00:04:45

people,

00:04:45--> 00:04:48

and he says, my Lord, help me against

00:04:48--> 00:04:49

those people's corruption.

00:04:49--> 00:04:51

So, now it shifts to a different scene

00:04:51--> 00:04:53

in a different location.

00:04:53--> 00:04:56

What location was that? Ibrahim alaihis salam.

00:04:56--> 00:04:58

And it didn't give us the details, but

00:04:58--> 00:05:00

gave us immediately part of that related to

00:05:00--> 00:05:02

Ruth alaihis salam because Ibrahim alaihis salam one

00:05:02--> 00:05:02

day

00:05:03--> 00:05:04

he had

00:05:05--> 00:05:06

guests, 3 people, they were traveling

00:05:07--> 00:05:09

and they stopped by the place of Ibrahim

00:05:09--> 00:05:11

alaihis salam, so he says come on in

00:05:11--> 00:05:12

for hospitality.

00:05:13--> 00:05:15

They were very handsome, they were very beautiful.

00:05:16--> 00:05:18

And, Ibrahim alayhi salaam, he went and he,

00:05:18--> 00:05:19

had a roasted

00:05:20--> 00:05:21

cow for them.

00:05:22--> 00:05:24

He pushed the food near their hands.

00:05:25--> 00:05:27

Why don't you eat?

00:05:27--> 00:05:29

When he saw their hands not reaching their

00:05:29--> 00:05:29

food,

00:05:30--> 00:05:32

he found it's gonna be awkward. And he

00:05:32--> 00:05:33

felt

00:05:33--> 00:05:36

he kinda like felt uneasy about them. And

00:05:36--> 00:05:37

he said to them,

00:05:38--> 00:05:40

why don't you eat? He said, Don't worry,

00:05:40--> 00:05:42

we are also Arabic. We are the messengers

00:05:42--> 00:05:44

of your Lord. We're going to the house

00:05:44--> 00:05:45

and

00:05:45--> 00:05:46

the people of Lut,

00:05:47--> 00:05:48

And, they explained to him their mission.

00:05:51--> 00:05:53

We are going to destroy that village and

00:05:53--> 00:05:53

that place.

00:05:55--> 00:05:57

Because the people of that place, they persisted

00:05:57--> 00:05:58

in wrongdoing.

00:05:59--> 00:06:01

So, Ibrahim alaihi wasallam, he started pleading with

00:06:01--> 00:06:03

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala with these angels.

00:06:06--> 00:06:08

But, Luther is there, he's still there working

00:06:08--> 00:06:10

with them, he's working on them, he's trying.

00:06:13--> 00:06:14

Like, do you think we don't know?

00:06:15--> 00:06:17

We know that he's there. We know that

00:06:17--> 00:06:17

he's there.

00:06:20--> 00:06:22

We are gonna give him and his family

00:06:22--> 00:06:23

safety except

00:06:24--> 00:06:27

except for his wife, Kadm Al Gabireen. She

00:06:27--> 00:06:29

was among those who are also doomed.

00:06:32--> 00:06:35

Now, when they came to Lut, see Abu

00:06:35--> 00:06:36

Hamodaq Abi Hamdara,

00:06:37--> 00:06:39

Lut, he felt, oh man, it's going to

00:06:39--> 00:06:40

be difficult

00:06:40--> 00:06:41

because he knew his people.

00:06:42--> 00:06:44

They they look for these, travelers.

00:06:44--> 00:06:46

They look for these, people who are coming

00:06:46--> 00:06:47

by themselves.

00:06:48--> 00:06:49

And when he saw how they look, they

00:06:49--> 00:06:52

are very handsome, they are beautiful, realize it's

00:06:52--> 00:06:52

gonna be not

00:06:56--> 00:06:58

easy. He's he kinda like felt distressed

00:06:58--> 00:07:00

and worried by their arrival.

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

Don't worry,

00:07:04--> 00:07:05

have no fear, no grief.

00:07:06--> 00:07:07

He says,

00:07:08--> 00:07:10

we're gonna rescue you and save you and

00:07:10--> 00:07:13

your family except for your wife. She's one

00:07:13--> 00:07:14

of those who are doomed.

00:07:15--> 00:07:16

And, they said to him,

00:07:21--> 00:07:23

We are certainly bringing down a punishment from

00:07:23--> 00:07:25

heaven upon the people of the city for

00:07:25--> 00:07:25

their rebelliousness.

00:07:26--> 00:07:28

They're gonna be doomed.

00:07:29--> 00:07:30

And

00:07:33--> 00:07:36

we did leave some some of its ruins

00:07:36--> 00:07:38

as a clear lesson for people of understanding.

00:07:39--> 00:07:41

Some they say that places were the

00:07:42--> 00:07:43

Dead Sea

00:07:44--> 00:07:45

in Palestine and Jordan.

00:07:45--> 00:07:48

Allah knows best if that's the real place

00:07:48--> 00:07:50

for that, but Allah says we have left

00:07:50--> 00:07:52

something for you to see so you could

00:07:52--> 00:07:54

reflect on. So, the dua of Lut alaihis

00:07:54--> 00:07:56

salam here, the dua of the distressed.

00:07:57--> 00:07:57

He says, Allah

00:08:00--> 00:08:02

help me against the people

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

of corruption.

00:08:04--> 00:08:05

So, whenever you make that dua,

00:08:06--> 00:08:07

you keep in your mind that you make

00:08:07--> 00:08:09

dua for a specific, let's say, group in

00:08:09--> 00:08:11

your mind, whoever they are, Whether it's somebody

00:08:11--> 00:08:13

at work, somebody in the family, somebody here,

00:08:13--> 00:08:14

somebody there,

00:08:16--> 00:08:17

because the people of corruption,

00:08:17--> 00:08:18

unfortunately,

00:08:18--> 00:08:21

they are so many protect them from the

00:08:21--> 00:08:23

So, we're gonna make the dua together.

00:08:36--> 00:08:37
