			Okay.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			So now we're down to the last 2
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			duas that are mentioned in the Quran.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			In Surat Al Falaq.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			Surat Al Falaq, the entire Surat Al Falaq
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			itself, chapter
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:57
			113.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			As a matter of fact, it is a
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:02
			dua. The entire Surat Al Falaq is a
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			dua from the prophet
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			in which the prophet
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			used to seek refuge with Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			ta'ala
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			from the evil
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			of everything,
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			and that was part of what he what
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:14
			we call
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			which means that the the the 2 surahs
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			by which you seek refuge and protection with
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:20
			Allah
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			against specific elements. So let's start with the
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			first one, insha'Allah,
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			and tomorrow insha'Allah we'll cover Surah Al Nasb
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			Alaihi Ta'ala.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			Here Allah subhanahu wa'ala says,
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			Say, You Muhammad,
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			I seek refuge in the Lord of the
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:40
			daybreak,
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			which actually means Allahumma
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			inni a'udu bika. That's what it means.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			As if you're saying, you Allah, I'm seeking
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			refuge with you because you are the Lord
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			of the daybreak.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:55
			That's the beginning of the dua here.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01
			From the evil of whatever he has created.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			And from the evil of the night when
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			it grows dark.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			And from the evil of those witches casting
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			spells by blowing unto naught.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			And from the evil of an envier
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			when they envy.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			So the eye of Allah subhanahu begin by
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:23
			saying
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			It's an instruction to you and I
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			that we need to seek that protection from
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			Allah
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			It's not an
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			option. It's not an option.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			This is a survival thing for you as
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			a human being
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			that you really need to see that find
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			that protection
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			with Allah
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			That's why we say
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			in the Arabic language means this is basically
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			the soliciting protection,
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			asking for protection.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			Again, we talk about the Lord. When we
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			speak, we make Dua, we use the word
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			rabbanah, right? Why do we say rabbanah?
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00
			Because we know him being the Lord, him
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:00
			being our Rab
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			he is the provider,
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			he is the maker, the sustainer.
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			So as a result, you need to ask
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			from the Lord, Arrab
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			He is the master.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			And you are the slave of Allah,
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			Arrab Bil Falak.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			Birrab the Lord of Al Falak, the daybreak.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			The daybreak means what a jamaal?
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			The morning. Right? So you ask Allah subhanahu
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			wa ta'ala to protect you
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			from whatever comes with the with the,
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			the beginning of the day.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			Like what? Surprises.
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			Like, I don't even know what's written for
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			me in the in the day. Right? You
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			wake up in the morning,
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			everything is okay, healthy,
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			wealthy in your house, in your with your
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:41
			family.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			And then Allah Mustan,
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			suddenly,
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46
			evil people
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			come and bomb your house
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			and shell your house. Like what happened in
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			Gaza.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:54
			Many many people, subhanallah, they mentioned the stories
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			that they were they were having breakfast, having
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:56
			dinner,
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:59
			barely sitting together as one family, and then
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			the whole roof collapsed over their their heads.
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			That's an evil that requires protection from Allah
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09
			So the evil that happened during the day.
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			To elaborate
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			what is exactly I'm seeking refuge or protection
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			from during the day, from the evil or
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			whatever he has created
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			from the evil he has created subhanahu wa
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			ta'ala.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			Now when we say he has created, what
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:24
			does that mean?
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			Everything.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			All the creation of Allah
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			All the creation of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			So that means what?
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			Human beings, jinn,
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			animals,
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			insects,
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:38
			everything
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:39
			including
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			natural
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			phenomena and disasters.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			Okay. So what does that even mean here
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:46
			right now?
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			If Allah says seek protection from the evil
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:49
			what he has created,
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			does Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala create evil?
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			You jamaah.
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			Who is the creator of good?
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			Who is the creator of good?
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:02
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Who is the creator
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:02
			of evil?
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			Who is the creator? Be careful. Watch how
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			you answer it. Be careful.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			Who is the creator of evil?
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			Oh, wait a minute. So again, who is
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			the creator of good?
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			You all agree on this, right?
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			Who is the creator of evil?
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			A shaitan.
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:29
			If you say shaitan,
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			you're claiming another creator with Allah
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			Allah is the
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			Allah is the creator of everything,
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			the good and evil
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			as a mean of test.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:46
			But
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48
			evil is created
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:49
			basically
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:51
			when you choose.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:54
			Like Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he facilitates what
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			you choose, your choices.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57
			That's what the meaning of the prophet sallallahu
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:58
			alaihi wasallam when he says
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			You need to do because Allah will facilitate
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05
			whatever be created for. And we spoke about
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			this a couple of nights ago in the
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			late night khatira. This is just like literally
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:09
			like the algorithm
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12
			in your life. What does that mean? You
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			choose bad, what's what's going to come to
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			you as a recommendation?
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:16
			Worse.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			And then you choose worse, what happens?
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:23
			Even worse than that. So the algorithm of
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:23
			your choices
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala does what? Facilitates
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:27
			that for you.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			So how can I stop this?
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:37
			created everything
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:41
			and our job is to try our best
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:44
			to make good choices so Allah will facilitate
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			good for us. So in order for you
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:48
			to stop that sequence of evil thing that
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			happens in your life, stop the autoplay as
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:51
			your mind.
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:54
			Stop the autoplay
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			because if you keep your life
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			following your desires constantly without stopping it, it's
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			going to continue to breed more sins and
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			so on. So again,
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:05
			Okay. What about you?
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			What about you? Do you have does your
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09
			nafs have any shar?
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			Your nafs, does this have any shar? Yes.
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:12
			Your
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:16
			low your lowly self doesn't have evil. Yes.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			Of course. That's why every Khutba already hear
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:19
			from the
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			I seek refuge with you from the evil
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:27
			of ourselves
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			and the evil of our deeds. So yeah,
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			it could actually lead to that way. So
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			we ask in this, we ask Allah to
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			protect us from the evil of everything that
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			he has created, and when we know that
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			Allah created everything, so we basically were saying
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			what? From the evil of everything.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			Now being specific. So he spoke about the
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:49
			day and now we're seeking protection from the
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			evil of the night.
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			And from the evil of the night when
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:55
			it grows dark.
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			Why he specifically mentioned the night when it
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00
			grows grows dark?
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:01
			Because
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:05
			most most plots, most evil happens what?
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			Nighttime when people, you know, the darkness of
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11
			their their cave, their room, their, you know,
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:11
			their whatever,
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:13
			yeah, any,
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:16
			bunker they're hiding in and they're plotting.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			Maybe today for us is different right now
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			because you could do during the day, during
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:21
			the night, and anytime you want on the
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:22
			Internet.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			But at the time, people, they had to
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			hide themselves
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			under the darkness of the night so they
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:28
			can plot evil,
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:29
			such as
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			highway robbers for example. They hide in the
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:35
			night for instance. And you always ask Allah
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			for protection from the evil of the dark.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:39
			Also, what comes out when the night goes
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:40
			down in jama'?
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:41
			Nocturnal animals,
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			all these insects and rodents and all that
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:45
			stuff and so on, so you see refuge
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:46
			with Allah
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:47
			from
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48
			this. Also what happens
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			when the night goes down it becomes dark?
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			You can see without light.
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:54
			So you don't know what you're touching, what
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:56
			you're putting your foot, what are you doing
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57
			here, what are you doing there. So you
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:59
			ask Allah protection from the evil that comes
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:01
			with the darkness of the night.
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:03
			And he says,
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:06
			and
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			especially, especially seek refuge to the law from
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:12
			the evil of those witches casting spells by
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			blowing onto knots. So
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			those who keep blowing. That's naf basically, naf.
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			You blow. And why did he mention that?
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:23
			Because
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			it seems that one of the most common,
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29
			magic spells that they had back then is
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:29
			when someone
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32
			brings an item related to somebody that they
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:34
			want to cast a spell on, and what
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36
			do they do? They hide it into something
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			and they tie a knot over it.
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:40
			So when they tie the knot over it
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42
			and they blow. What do they blow? There
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:43
			are spells,
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:44
			words words of evil,
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			maybe invoking the shaitan or the jinn or
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			the demons or whatever that is
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51
			to cast a spell on this individual so
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:52
			they can hurt that individual.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			And why he mentioned this here is particularly
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57
			because again, during the night.
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			You go when they go into their tents
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			at night, they barely have few lights here
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			and there. It's creepy by looking at it
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:07
			or thinking about it. Imagine being there.
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			And it was very common in their culture
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			for these women to be actually witches and
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:13
			they live in remote areas.
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:15
			As a matter of fact, even in our
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:17
			time these days, in Islam, they live in
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:19
			very, very horrible conditions
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21
			because this is where the the shawti and
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:24
			the demons thrive. Not in healthy, clean, hygienic
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26
			places, Yani. And that's why they go to
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			the bathroom.
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:31
			And I ask Allah to protect me from
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			the evil of these witches and from the
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:34
			spells and of course obviously
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:36
			these people,
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			they're not gonna make spell for free. Right?
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			Someone has to come to them and tell
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:41
			them,
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:43
			cast a spell on this individual.
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			So by extension, you also ask Allah to
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:49
			protect you from the evil of the people
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			who,
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:54
			sponsor these and hire these to hurt you.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:56
			And that's why at the end what did
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:59
			he say? What leads people to go to
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00
			these magicians and these sorcerers
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:02
			to cast as poll on you?
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:03
			The Hasid,
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:05
			women and
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			I
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08
			seek protection with you, my Lord, from the
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			evil of those who envy when they when
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			they cast that envy on me.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14
			So you can see the sequence and the
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16
			consequences of everything as it's mentioned in the
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18
			surah. So it was divided to 2 types
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:21
			of evils. 1 during the day and the
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23
			other one during the night. And during the
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:24
			day, he says everything.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			And during the night, he made very specific
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:30
			The plot that happens during the night specifically
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			with magicians and the sorcerers and the witches
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35
			and also because all of this comes from
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37
			the hearts of the evil ones that they
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
			have hasad against you and will Allah protect
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:41
			you from the servant of al Amin. Now,
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:42
			when it comes to hasad,
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			hasad has different types obviously.
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47
			The worst type of hasad is when someone
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:50
			wishes for something that you have, a blessing
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
			that you have, to go away from you
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:54
			and they don't care if it comes to
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55
			them or not.
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58
			Like they don't wish you higher and they
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			don't want that higher for themselves.
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:02
			They just want you to lose that
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:04
			evil people.
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07
			Less than that when they wish for you
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:08
			to lose that
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			and it comes to them. At least they're
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			still a beneficiary, you know, when when they
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:14
			lose it.
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:17
			And there's another one, when you wish for
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19
			something similar to
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:20
			what they have.
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			You don't want you don't want them to
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			lose it but you badly want to do
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:28
			to have something like that. Now that's the
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			least form of of hasad but it's still
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:31
			hurtful. It can hurt people.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			So therefore, make sure to always protect yourself
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36
			and your families from the hasad, from the
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:37
			Ayin and
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:38
			and the evil Ayin.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:42
			So we're gonna read the dua together inshallah
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:45
			And as as a matter of fact, when
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:46
			we make that dua, we're gonna be reciting
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			the entire Surah itself.
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:04
			Minalqawm
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:05
			alwalimin,
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:07
			rabbanah,
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:08
			atmimlana,
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:10
			nurana,
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:12
			wagfurlana,
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:00
			waman salahaman aba'im.
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:02

00:16:03 --> 00:16:03
			Wazwajim.
