Shaykh Yasir Qadhi discusses a dua that is recited by the righteous in times of distress and patience.
This verse was recited by the magicians at the time of standing at the face of imminent torture and death in the time of Firaun.
“رَبَّنَا أَفْرِغْ عَلَيْنَا صَبْرًا وَتَوَفَّنَا مُسْلِمِينَ”
“Our Lord, pour upon us patience and let us die as Muslims [in submission to You].”
[Surah Al-A’raf ,Verse 126]
Patience is the main mechanism we use to cope with the troubles of this world. Allah will help with two mechanisms – patience and salaah.
“Our Lord, pour upon us patience and plant firmly our feet and give us victory over the disbelieving people.”
[Surah Al Baqarah – verse 250]
This dua was recited when the mighty army of Jalooth was approaching the Muslims.
The transcript discusses the use of "aravan" in the Quran and the importance of patient behavior in addressing problems. The speakers emphasize the need for people to be patient and not feel annoyed by actions, particularly in addressing problems. They also discuss the importance of patience and being patient in one's life.

Milan hamdu Lillah wa salatu salam ala rasulillah while the Adi he will be here woman Wella
hammerberg. Today's drop from the Quran is actually from two places in the Quran, the first half of
it is the same. And the second half of both of these are slightly different. We begin with students
that are off verse 126. The door is as follows what I've been afraid either you know sabalan what
Tijuana Muslim in the context of this do I translate says Oh Allah, grant us patience and allow us
to die as Muslims. The context of this when the magician's of fit around, when they saw the miracle
of the staff, and they saw the miracle of Musa alayhis salam and they embraced Islam immediately
00:01:12 -->
00:02:01
they embrace system although I'm unavailable are the mean frown said I will execute You betrayed me
around said I will crucify you on the palms of date trees, and I will torture you to death. And
these magicians who now believe so firmly in a law, they were facing death and they were facing
torture, so they said I've been afraid Eileen Sabra make us patient to Allah make us patient about
what we're about to face. What what phenom was the mean, and allow us to die as Muslims. The second
drop this surah baqarah verse 250 surah baqarah verse 250. And in the first half is the same robina
for Elena sobre over LA, fortify us with patience with a bit akademin and make our feet firm one so
00:02:01 -->
00:02:40
now I will omit caffeine and help us against those who have rejected you this door. I was said when
the army of ollut and amongst them was though David was in that army, David and Goliath is the
famous battle of David and Goliath and thought it was the king of David. And on the other side was
john Ruth, which is Goliath. So when they saw the mighty army, and they were outnumbered, and they
didn't have the weapons, they didn't have the manpower. So they're outnumbered they're
outmaneuvered, but they need to win. So what do I do they say, all do Robin on a Friday now sobre
our law give us patience against this army give us patience to win over with a bit akademin make our
00:02:40 -->
00:03:24
feet firm one so not an omen caffine and help us against those who have rejected you. Our lecture
today is going to be about the first half would have been a phrase Eileen sabara once again, very
simple to add or abandon a phrase either in October or forwards. And it's a very powerful tool. That
is said by the righteous in times of distress. The Magician's of phenomenon are facing a very
gruesome death torture by death, they're going to die by torture. The army of Fallujah thinks it's
gonna die. They don't know what's going to happen. Both of them are righteous people and a lot
quotes there. There have been a phrase Eileen l sobre. O our Lord pour upon us actually it's a very
00:03:24 -->
00:04:09
powerful dry because of this doesn't just mean give a foot It literally means to pour down. So we
are saying Oh Allah, don't just give me patience. surround me with patience allow patients to come
directly from you after this Idina pour all of that patience not even into us, but around us on into
us how to open a fridge either in a Sabra. So this is one of the most powerful for us to say, when
we require patience, when do we require patience throughout our lives, our Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam said, or sobre la Suleiman being patient it is the head of a man and by head here it means
is the crux is the pinnacle. If you're patient, you have a man and if you are not patient, you don't
00:04:09 -->
00:04:54
have a man. And that is why in over 50 verses in the Quran, Allah praises patience, and I've given
many helpers about patience and the concept of patience. But all that we need to know for our brief
lecture today. Patience is one of the main mechanisms that we use to cope with the problems of this
world. And we all have problems of this world. What do we do when finances are an issue? When human
relations become problematic? When we're full of anxieties, grief, worry, what do we do? Allah says,
was there any no the subsidy was Salah, get the help of a law through two things. Allah will help
you through two mechanisms. Number one, a suburb and number two, and that is prayer. And of course,
00:04:54 -->
00:05:00
especially in this month, we have to understand what to suffer because the Ramadan is called the
month of
00:05:00 -->
00:05:42
Patience and fasting, our Prophet systems that whoever perfects the fast or slow mo nice food or
sober, fasting is half of patience. So this is the month of patience and we are learning patience.
So we should learn to have patience as well. And of course patience is something that raises our
ranks in this world and the next leadership is given to those who are patient, respect and honor
comes with those who are patient. Allah says in the Quran regarding the Bani Israel, even those who
were tortured those who were exiled from Egypt, they wandered for 40 years lost in that land, then
Allah bless them to have their own peace and security. And what does the law say? What Talmud
00:05:42 -->
00:06:25
Kadima, tropical Prusiner, Allah Bani Israel Isla de Moussa baru because the children of Israel were
patient, because the children of Israel were patient, we then fulfilled our promise to them, and we
gave them what we had what had been destined for them. And Allah says also, for the children of
Israel, Allah says, What do you mean home imitation? Yeah, do wanna be emelina masaharu we made from
amongst them leaders in who were rightly guided because of our way when they showed their patience,
the mouse sabado ignore em says the only way to become a true leader is through patience. And this
isn't even a religious matter. Even if you don't have any religion, or you're from another religion.
00:06:25 -->
00:07:04
Genuine leadership comes when you put in the struggle, you put in the patience, look at any global
leader, regardless of faith, whether it is Mahatma Gandhi, whether it is Nelson Mandela, it doesn't
matter whether it is MLK, whoever it is, how did they get to that level of respect of humanity? They
were patient Lamar Sabo. These are the people Allah says, Well, of course Allah talking about the
profits, but the concept is the same, that when they were patient, they were given the fruits of
their reward. And of course, if this world is given to those who are patients, then what do you
think of the next world? Allah says in the Koran that the the the wives, the children, the parents
00:07:04 -->
00:07:47
of the righteous will be all with them in general and the angels one mela eager to Yaga Haruna de
Min coolibah from every single door, the angels are going to come to greet them. What will the
angels say the first time they see the believers in Jenna Sarah Mona la comme Bhima sadara Tom,
because you were patient, set them on Aleykum you were patient in this world now you will get this
item of Allah and TAO to set up which is gender. So the number one cause in this verse of gender is
because of patience. Salam aleikum. Bhima so bottom because you demonstrated patience, then you will
get that reward from Allah subhana wa Tada. And in these days, the climate of Islamophobia, the
00:07:47 -->
00:08:31
climate of hatred, of racism of Sufism of xenophobia, we really need to understand those verses that
demonstrate for us patience, Allah says in the Quran, will not be run either day to Muna, we are
going to be patient in spite of all of your harassment to us. This is in the climate of
Islamophobia. Whether or not spilled on the tuna, you can irritate us as much as you want, we will
show you back our patients and patients therefore, what exactly is it It means to act in a sensible
and Islamic manner it means to not act rationally, to not act emotionally. Patience is difficult,
because it is the controlling of one's actions. It is the controlling of one's tongues impatient is
00:08:31 -->
00:09:10
to let go to act rationally to act emotionally and patience means you only say what pleases Allah
and you act in a manner that is pleasing to Allah subhanho wa Taala. The final point for today's
brief Hata how then do we gain patience? How do we get to this level of patience? And there's a very
beautiful Hadith I've said it many times. It's a very interesting Heidi and it links directly to our
two verses for today. Our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam I forgot to mention obviously Allah
directly tells him to be patient. This is something interesting. It's a direct command to our
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that he is being commanded forcibly to come out sobre una
00:09:10 -->
00:09:54
azumino Rasul Allah rasulillah. Be patient, like the mighty messengers were patient, he is being
told by Allah and Allah says to him, one of the first revelations was to build sovereign Jimmy to be
patient to beautiful patience. This is one of the earliest revelation he's being told to be patient.
How does one acquire patience? miraculously, my dear brothers and sisters, miraculously, one
acquires patience simply by desiring it simple as that, if only money were so easy, patience is
given to those who want it. It's as simple as that. You want patience, you will get it. Can you
imagine anything else of this world that you desire? And you get it? How do we know this? From the
00:09:54 -->
00:09:59
Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam woman Yato sub baru use of beautiful law.
00:10:00 -->
00:10:42
yo sup BB u sub beautiful law, whoever wants to be patient, Allah will give him that patience.
That's all that is required. You just have to have the knee. Yeah, I want to be patient. But of
course with the new year comes the da robina afraid it now sobre that de armas calm as well, if you
really want it, then it has to come and SubhanAllah. These do as they were, they were mentioned on
the tongues of the people who are going to be killed by Fred Allen, who are facing the army of
Goliath. And how about us, we have to be patient at our children and they're a nuisance and
irritation. We have to be patient at the petty politics of our office, we have to be patient at the
00:10:42 -->
00:11:21
human relations there is no fit around going to torture us to death like that. There is no great
army of Goliath our patients and battle is so less compared to theirs. What then do you think the
effect of this drug is going to be? So memorize this too, and frequently say it because it was said
by the righteous before us and Allah felt it to be worthy to be quoted in the Quran. He quoted what
they said and he taught it to us as well. But I've been afraid of it now. sobre o Allah pour upon us
the support that we need. So we make this constantly and we ask Allah subhana wa tada for Slobodan
jameelah and we will not shall continue tomorrow was set on wanting to La Habra castle
