It must be a really brilliant dua For the Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam to tell his wife I want to teach you something What am I going to teach you? I'm going to teach you something that you can call out to Allah with What is it? Here goes Allahumma o Allah Inni asaluka I am asking you Minal khairi kullihi From the goodness, all of it So I am asking you from goodness, all of it I want all goodness, o Allah Aajilihi wa aajilihi That which is right now current That which is immediate and that which is deferred That which is later on I want goodness from you, o Allah Now and in the future That's what we're saying Subhanallah, look at how beautiful This is just the beginning of a nice long beautiful dua Taught by Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam To Aisha radiallahu anha Allahumma inni asaluka minal khairi kullihi Aajilihi wa aajilihi O Allah I am seeking from you regarding goodness All of it That which is immediate That which is deferred Ma alimtu minhu wa ma lam aalam Subhanallah That which I know from it And that which I don't know This is powerful Because goodness A lot of the times we say O Allah give me goodness And when something happens That might seem negative to us But it is good It's something we don't know is good for us I want to give you a simple example That comes to my mind There was a brother who lost a job And he thought that was the worst thing That could have happened Not realizing that two years later Two years of struggle Later he got another job That paid him 10 times more than the previous job Subhanallah Had he not lost that job And been jobless for two years He probably would have never had such an amazing package It's only when you are convinced That what Allah does is the best That one day you will join the dots And you will be able to understand What Allah did in your life Subhanallah Have conviction that Allah will provide I always look at the ends And I tell myself Allah says in the Quran Indeed there is nothing that moves on the earth Except that it is the duty of Allah To provide its sustenance It is upon Allah To provide its sustenance So when I see these ants And I think to myself An ant is so small There are so many of these ants That we cannot see We will not be able to see And Allah says I will provide for the ants And I'm worried about myself Who's so big I mean if there were ants That had to fill my whole body There might be billions of them And I'm one person So big, so large You think Allah is going to miss me Allahu Akbar No ways If he did not miss an ant He's not going to miss you Subhanallah He's going to provide for you Be patient Keep trying Work hard Eradicate your bad habits Brothers and sisters Many people want sustenance They want goodness They want things But they don't want to eradicate their bad habits So they fall And they falter Because they become distant from Allah Due to the sins they are committing And because of those sins They lose goodness But if you want the goodness You need to try to be as good as you can May Allah make it easy for us So Aisha radiallahu anha is saying Subhanallah Something amazing She's saying the Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam Taught me this dua O Allah I ask you from the goodness All of it That which is immediate That which is to follow Which means deferred That which is now and in the future That which I know from it And that which I don't know from it I want all that goodness I want the goodness now I want the goodness in the future I want that which I know I want that which I don't know Imagine it sounds like a little child Who's trying to just get everything for himself With Allah That is an ibadah That is an act of worship To do that with Allah Is an act of worship O Allah Give me goodness now Give it to me later Give me what I know about What I don't know about Etc. Give it all to me Wa aoudubika And I seek your protection Aoudubika I seek your protection Mina sharri kullihi I seek your protection from all evil Regarding evil All of it I want you to protect me from all evil Now you and I know When you receive goodness from Allah There is jealousy There is hatred There is enmity There is envy That might come in your direction Because you've got And this is why Don't boast and brag Don't show off Don't be a show off Don't boast and brag And don't try and show people What you have Because they may not have And it might hurt their heart They might look at you and say Haaa And they didn't say MashaAllah Tabarak Allah You know Walawla if dakhalta jannataka kulta MashaAllah You can even affect your own stuff Your own goodness Your own gifts with the evil eye Your own evil eye Because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala Tells us in Surah Al-Kahf That you know Regarding the story of the person Who had a beautiful garden Given by Allah That had he not said MashaAllah Tabarak Allah When he entered his own garden He should have said MashaAllah MashaAllah When he entered his own garden So Walawla if dakhalta jannataka kulta MashaAllah La quwwata illa billah You know this is from Allah The power and the might Belongs to none besides Allah You relate the gifts you have From Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala Back to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala It's an amazing A beautiful way of looking at things So when you see something good You say MashaAllah Tabarak Allah You may want to say Allahumma barik Make a dua for Baraka And at the same time Related to Allah It is achieved by saying MashaAllah Tabarak Allah That there is also a dua for Baraka It's also relating it to Allah You may want to say MashaAllah La quwwata illa billah That is in the Quran It's made mentioned of And it's beautiful It's in Surah Al-Kahf So when you get goodness As per the beginning of this dua The next thing you need to do Is seek protection from evil now What type of evil? Evil that might Take away that goodness Right? Evil That might affect me What's the point of having goodness Having goodness But then you've got tribulations Trials Problems Issues So you are saying Wa a'udubika minash sharri kullihi ajilihi wa ajilihi Ma alimtu minhu wa ma'lam a'lam I seek your protection From all evil That which is immediate And that which is deferred That which is now And that which is to come That which is in the present And that which is in the future That which I know And that which I don't know Sometimes we think Something is good for us We want it If you make this dua Allah might keep it away from you Knowing that it's not good for you Subhanallah Subhanallah You want to purchase a car The latest motor vehicle That goes 300 kilometers an hour Allah doesn't want you to have it Because he knows If you had it You might drive it At such a speed That you may break your bones thereafter It's not good for you It's evil It's bad So you don't get it Be happy with the decree of Allah Allah has chosen something for you Be happy with what Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has chosen for you So she makes a dua for goodness She's taught to make a dua for goodness And she is taught to make a dua For protection from evil All forms of evil Now I want to pause for a moment And tell you something Very very amazing The words that were given To the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Were miraculous The supplications were miraculous The words were miraculous He says I have been given From among the gifts That I've been given From among the miracles That I have I have been given The power of short number of words A small number of words With great meaning Jawami Al Kalim It means words That have a very very broad meaning And they encompass a lot So he used to use small words Short phrases But those phrases used to Were so powerful They would encompass so much Look at this supplication What has it encompassed? It's a simple thing Oh, I would say O Allah grant me goodness Look at what the Prophet says O Allah From goodness I'm asking you all of it That which is immediate That which is to follow That which I know That which I don't know Subhanallah He has covered every aspect of it There is nothing now That you need to think about Everything is covered Amazing These are the words of the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Then we have Continuation of the same dua That is being taught to Aisha radiallahu anha She says That he said Subhanallah O Allah I ask you all the goodness That your worshipper And your Prophet Your slave And your Prophet Referring to Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Asked of you Allahumma inni asaluka Min khairi ma saalaka Minhu abduka wa nabi yuka And in one narration There is the word Or the name Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam So Allahumma inni asaluka Minkhairi ma saalaka Abduka wa nabi yuka One narration says Minhu abduka wa nabi yuka But the gist of it is the same So O Allah I seek from you I am asking from you All the goodness That your slave And your Nabi asked from you Whatever he asked from you In terms of goodness Give it to me too Amazing Subhanallah So this is a lovely way Of putting it forward Taught by Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam O Allah I am asking you All the goodness That Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Asked from you Granted to me too And it continues The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam says Wa aoudubika mim ma aadabihi Abduka wa nabi yuka And I seek your protection From the same things That your messenger Your servant Muhammad peace be upon him Sought protection from If he sought protection from anything Protect me from the same So the first part of it was All the goodness He's ever asked from you Grant me too All the evil He's ever sought protection from Protect me from it too Allahu Akbar Look at this Jawa mi al kalim A man Who is the Nabi of Allah The most blessed of Allah He never ever needed to seek protection Nor to ask for goodness He had all the goodness He was protected from all the evil Etc. By Allah From Allah He said these words And he's teaching his wife These words And we are fortunate enough To have heard from his wife Radoo Allahu Anha What these words were And they're amazing words They cover and encompass Absolutely everything So the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam continues Right So far Two things have happened The Aisha Radoo Allahu Anha is asking for goodness Seeking protection from bad And then she is asking for everything good That Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam asked Seeking protection from everything That he sought protection from So those are Two major aspects already dealt with Then she says That he taught me something Allahumma O Allah Inni asalukal jannah Wa maqarrabah ilayha min qawlin wa amal O Allah I seek from you Paradise I seek from you Paradise It's not good enough to just say I want Paradise O Allah grant me Paradise Meaning There is something more to it You need to work towards it So make the working towards it easy for me O Allah I seek from you Paradise And every word Or deed That would lead to Paradise O Allah Let my words and deeds Be such that they would lead me to that Paradise That I'm seeking from you Allahumma Inni asalukal jannah Wa maqarrabah ilayha min qawlin wa amal O Allah I seek from you Paradise And anything that would bring me closer That would lead me to that Paradise From statements and deeds Whatever I say and I do Let it be a statement That would make me closer to jannah And a deed that would make me closer to Paradise Amazing This wording is absolutely divine It's definitely from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala Because now I need to protect myself from Hellfire The same way I'm asking I'm asking Allah to give me jannah To make my statements and my deeds Those that will bring me closer to jannah I am now saying Wa a'udubika min annari Wa maqarrabah ilayha min qawlin wa amal And I seek refuge in you from Hellfire And anything that would lead to it Anything that would bring closer to it From my statements and my deeds Any deed Any statement that would bring me closer to Hellfire I seek your protection I seek your protection from those deeds And those statements Wa asaluka antaj'ala Kulla qadaa in qadaitahu li khairaa Wa asaluka antaj'ala kulla qadaa In qadaitahu li khairaa And I ask you to make all the decrees That you have decreed for me Only decrees of goodness Which means decree for me goodness only O Allah O Allah I ask you to decree for me goodness You know, we believe in predestiny We believe in the decree We believe that Allah has predestined things And we also believe That to a certain extent There is the scope of changing that particular Or certain parts of that qadaa Like through dua through supplication And through charity Subhanallah When you are charitable You can actually There is a certain element of change That could take place in your In what was predestined Although the knowledge of Allah is supreme And he would already have known That you were going to make this dua So this is what we were going to do for you Or we did for you as a result Or we were going to be charitable Or good or kind So this is what we have done for you So subhanallah It's Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Who is informing us and telling us about this And we are asking Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala We are actually asking Allah O Allah All that which you have decreed for me Make it good for me O Allah All that which you have made All that which you have decreed for me Make it good for me This is an amazing beautiful dua Now this dua is found in Al-Adab al-Mufrad And also Ibn Majah has narrated it in his compilation And it's the hadith of Aisha radiAllahu anha I want to read, repeat this whole dua From the beginning Perhaps you may want to say it after me Or with me And I tell you my brothers and sisters The idea is to memorize it To learn it Perhaps write it down Maybe get the print out of a lot of these duas And use them to call out to Allah And get the meaning as well done I hope you've taken some notes while I was speaking If not, no problem You can always listen to this again Or you can always go and find it And get its meaning And inshaAllah use it to call out to Allah regularly Because this is something that was taught By Rasulullah sallallahu aleyhi wasallam So I know I might have rushed that a little bit But the benefit was for myself And for everyone else I ask Allah SWT To make this beautiful dua part of our routine I mean, I want to move on to another dua Because we have so many of these supplications That we will be covering throughout this entire Series And these episodes really blessed It is a narration of Abu Huraira radiAllahu anhu He says that the Prophet sallallahu aleyhi wasallam Used to say Oh Allah, so this is a dua It's a supplication What a beautiful supplication Aslihli dini Aslihli dini alladi hua ismatu amri Wa aslihli dunyaya allati fiha ma'ashi Wa aslihli akhirati allati fiha ma'adi Wa jaal al-hayata ziyadatalli fi kulli khayr Wa al-mouta rahatalli min kulli sharra Beautiful hadith In sahih Muslim Rasulullah sallallahu aleyhi wasallam Is making mention of something amazing It's a hadith of Abu Huraira Oh Allah, make good for me my deen Make good for me my religion Aslihli dini Why? He is saying why Oh Allah, make good for me my deen That is the most important aspect of my affairs The most important aspect of my affairs It is something I'm supposed to be holding fast upon Oh Allah, make it easy for me Make it good for me Aslihli Make good for me my deen That's the first part of the du'a Worried about the deen The religion The following of Allah And his commands and his instructions Aslihli dini alladi hua ismatu amri It is the most important part of my affairs It is the most important thing Wa aslihli duniya yallati feeha maashi And make good for me my world The worldly life of mine Make good for me the world The worldly life of mine This dunya No dunya when we say dunya we refer to the world A lot of the times it's talking about that which is material That which is to do with living Rather than the spirituality of it The spiritual part of it And the religious part of it Is covered in the first part of the du'a Deeni My deen My religion My faith My spirituality My connection with Allah Dunya is my connection with this worldly life I need to live I need to earn I need to eat and drink and so on Aslihli duniya yallati feeha maashi O Allah make good for me my dunya In which I have to live So make it good for me Because I have to live in it I have no choice but to live in it That is a beautiful part of this Lovely supplication And then we have the third part of this supplication O Allah make good for me my hereafter The place that I am going to be returning to Why am I asking you for goodness in my religion? Because it's the most important affair Why am I asking you for goodness in my world And my worldly life? Because I have no option but to live in it I have to live in it Why am I asking you for goodness in my hereafter? Because that's where I believe I'm going SubhanAllah I'm convinced Conviction I'm going to go there Look at how all three aspects are covered In these powerful words of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Insha'Allah When we continue with the next episode I will start off with this particular supplication And complete it And go on to more of what the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Has taught us from his blessed lips Divinely revealed by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala For our benefit May Allah bless us all Insha'Allah I'll see you upon the next episode I'll say this Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Wa Baraka Ala Nabiina Muhammad Wa Salaamu Alaihi Wasalaam
