 وأقول في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكاريم المنزاله وأقول قال الله جل جلاله والمصطف الهدي ولا أتأواله الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على أبد الله ورسوله نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصح به أجمعين السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته أهل من هذا القرآن بسبب قرآن الله وقال ربكم ودعوني أستجب لكم ومصطف الله أقول أخبرني وأخبرك نهائي للمنزاله هو دعا ونحن نتحدث عن أساسات المنزال والمصطف العالمين في قبل قرآن نحن نتحدث عن المهمة توبة وستغفار قبل أن نقوم بقرآن دعا ونحن لا تدخل أن توبة هو موضوع من قرآنك ونحن نخطط المثال من الكثير من المكان في القرآن لكن نحن نأخذه بشكل مجدداً من صورة نوح بين قرآن 10 وقرآن 11 فقلتوا استغفروا ربكم إنه كان غفارا يرسل السماء عليكم مدرارا ويمديتكم بأموالين وبنين ويجعل لكم جناتن ويجعل لكم أنهارا الله عز و جل قلت بحيث نحن نحن وقلت أنا يعني نحن تريد أن تساعد أساساتك أنه يجب always and often forgiving الله عز و جل سغفار يجب أن تساعد مدرارا وكانه here يظهر أنه مدرارا في كل حال لا يحدث أيضاً الله عز و جل سغفار ماذا سيحدث؟ يرسل السماء عليكم مدرارا المدرار will fall down from the heavens again and again or if you like in sheets the rain is just falling again and again ويمديتكم بأموالين وبنين and Allah will provide for you wealth and children and Allah will give you jannah and Allah will give you anhar Allah will give you gardens and Allah will give you rivers so have you noticed how in this or in these ayat the dua'a being answered is related to what precedes the dua'a being answered the rain comes down how does the rain come down but Allah عز و جل sends down the rain and the purpose of the rain is to make sure that Allah عز و جل sends down the rain and the people are making dua'a for the rain Allah answers their dua'a the rain comes down because of استغفار likewise wealth and children people are asking Allah for wealth asking Allah to clear their debt asking Allah to give them Halal income asking Allah for children and Allah عز و جل answers their dua'a how does Allah answer their dua'a or by what means does Allah answer their dua'a here Allah answers their dua'a because of that استغفار they are given gardens and rivers by what means are they given gardens and rivers because of their استغفار so this is a very clear evidence that استغفار should be brought prior to the dua'a being made or that it may be that if a dua'a is stuck because of a person's sins that the way to release that dua'a is through استغفار there's a beautiful story in this regard and it's a story narrated by Ibn Sabih رحمه الله تعالى he said sheka رجول إلى الحسن البصري رحمه الله تعالى there was a man who came and he complained to الحسن البصري about الجدوبة about a drought فقال له استغفر الله he said to him الحسن البصري turned around to him and said to him ask Allah's forgiveness وشكى إليه آخر الفقر another one came and said and he complained about poverty he came to her حسن البصري complained about being poor فقال له استغفر الله he said seek Allah's forgiveness وقال له آخر أدع الله أن يرزقني ولده he said أحسن ask Allah make dua to Allah for me to have a child فقال له استغفر الله he said to him ask Allah's forgiveness وشكى إليه آخر جفافة بستاني another one he came and he said and he complained asking about that his garden was dry and his garden was and his garden was you know it wasn't bringing out its fruits and its flowers or whatever it might be his garden was you know sort of bone dry came to complain about this فقال له استغفر الله he said to him ask Allah's forgiveness فقلنا له في ذلك so we said to him about this حسن why did you say to these four people ask Allah's forgiveness فقال ما قلت من عندي شيئا he said I didn't say anything from my own opinion إن الله تعالى يقول في صورة نوح الله says in the صورة نوح استغفروا ربكم إنه كان غفارا يرسل السماء عليكم مدرارا ويمددكم بأموال وابنين ويجعلكم جناتين ويجعلكم أنهارا سيك the forgiveness of your Lord إنه always forgiving ينسى ينسى the rain upon you again and again ينسى with wealth ينسى with children ينسى for you gardens وينسى for you rivers and so the answer to each of those four problems the drought the person who was poor the one who was the one who was hoping for a child and the one whose garden became dry and barren all of them their answer was استغفروا ask Allah's forgiveness and of course asking Allah's forgiveness is not just it's not just a matter of saying rather it is something which is more than that it is also about توبة about turning to Allah in repentance about truly and if we just take the simple stages of توبة which is to first of all regret and before you regret even to confess and to admit that you have sinned and then to feel regret for it and then to stop doing it to intend not to do it again and to make up for whatever harm was caused if it was caused to another person then to make up for that harm سبحان الله all of this is what comes together to make a توبة and that comes with hand in hand with استغفر توبة is something more complex and more detailed and of course استغفر is in terms of asking Allah's forgiveness is something that we should be doing no matter what from the etiquettes that we had alluded to in the previous episode and we had spoken about it already in previous episodes as well but just to sort of bring our attention to it here is the importance of humility and showing your need in front of Allah عز وجل شيخ رسلان المتيمية رحم الله تعالى he said ومن العدوان أن يدعوه غير المتادر for a person a type of transgression دعاء is for a person to call upon Allah without proper humility and need without showing their need and without showing their desperation and their need before Allah سبحانه وتعالى بل دعاء وهذا كلمستغني but the dua of a person like this is like a person who doesn't think that they need Allah عز وجل and we mentioned the issue of استغناء أما من استغناء as for the one who doesn't feel their need we said وأما من بخيلة واستغناء as for the one who is استنجي and behaves as though they don't need Allah or believes that they don't need they don't need Allah عز وجل and later on شبه شبه شبه إليه و هذا من أعظم this is from the greatest examples of transgression لمنافاته لدعاء because it goes against the dua of the straight و من لم يسأل مسكين متضر kort فهو معتد he said رحمو الله تعالى فلا تسأل الله ورسل من مخلوقه هو ألوه هو تواجد به who is needy who is fearful هذا الناس كان المسخ مزلد في العالم It's very important that we remember our position before Allah we remember the greatness of Allah when we make двигة And we make двигة in that frame of mind When we're sort of giving that thing thought and we're reflecting upon our двигة And the way that we make Up نحن now going to come on to talk about the issue of raising hands in دعاء This is another etiquette of دعاء but it has a little bit of understanding to it And if we look at the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ There are numerous Ahadith So one of the examples we have from the Hadith of the Prophet ﷺ The Hadith of Abimousa الأعشأري رضي الله عن And this is narrated in the صحيح فاليمان البخاري رحم الله تعالى He said دع النبي ﷺ ثم رفع يدي The Prophet ﷺ made du'a Then he raised his hands ورأيت بياضة إبطي And I saw the whiteness of his armpits So that means that he raised his hands high The Hadith of Ibn Omar رضي الله عن That he said قال رفع النبي ﷺ يدي وقال اللهم إني أبرأوا إليك من ما صنعه قالت He raised his hands and he said أولا I am free I am free towards you from the action of Khalid And the statement of Anas رضي الله عن From the Prophet ﷺ that he said رفع يدي حتى رأيته بياضة إبطي I raised his hands until I saw the whiteness of his armpits So here we have really We have different نرأيشين And different ماتيس Of raising the hands Or different situations As it relates to raising the hands in du'a So we have some that are general In which the Prophet ﷺ raises his hands And we have some that have A مبالغة An extra emphasis on raising the hands Such that the underarms show So how do we understand this And how do we divide it into These different levels Of du'a The first of these levels That we're going to talk about Is normal du'a Habitual du'a And this habitual du'a Is to raise the hands To the level of the shoulders Approximately there or thereabouts To have the palms facing upwards And the back of the hand facing downwards So not like this, but like this And likewise The hands in terms of them being together Then the hands will be You know, somewhat together The scholars differed over Whether there should be a small gap Between them or whether they should be together But broadly speaking A person is raising their hands To a normal level And this is what we call A صفة العام ليرفع لدي حال الدعي مطلقة This is the description Of raising the hands in du'a جنرally جنرally And then there are situations in In raising the hands Where the Prophet ﷺ Would raise only a finger And that is the index finger Of the right hand Would raise the index finger Of the right hand This is narrated in some cases In استغفار Asking for forgiveness And it's also called إخلاص And it's the matter of raising A single Raising a single Finger And this raising of a single finger Is specific to a particular Situation And that is When it is the situation of دكر and du'a Upon the ممر During the خطب And when giving the تشاهد In the صلاة And so on So it's not for every situation It's not for a person to say اللهم Like it's not for a person to do All the time But it's specific for a person to do In the same times In which the Prophet ﷺ did it On the ممر On the ممر When giving the خطب And likewise During the تشاهد In the صلاة When a person is making du'a And remembering Allah In the تشاهد in the صلاة They raise their finger And also When a person Saying for example لا إله إلا الله Outside of the صلاة A person can also Raise a single finger Should they wish to The outside of the صلاة As well The third situation Is And that is That is an Emphasized Ask المبالغة في المسألة Person is really emphasizing And really making Even greater effort in Du'a And it's also called دعاء الرهب The du'a of terror or fear The du'a of a person Being in a state of Of extreme fear And that is For a person to raise Their hands Towards the heavens Until they're under arms Until they're under arms Can be seen And this is A صفة which is again خاصة It is unique It's unique And it is A du'a that is made In a time of extreme hardship Among which is دعوة Among which is دعوة Or when the enemy Is about to attack Or overcome A person So this is to be used In situations of Extreme hardship دعوة اصدقار When asking for rain And likewise When the enemy You fear the enemy Is about to overcome you And so on Situations where you feel Extreme fear And extreme anxiety Then a person can Go one step further Which is to raise The hands up All the way Until the under arms show So these are three Different types of raising The hand Which is the general Raising of the hands The general Raising of the hands The Exaggerated or emphasised Raising of the hands And the raising of the finger Such as in the تشاخد Or when saying لا إله إلا الله Outside of the صلاة Is no harm in a person There is no harm In a person doing this But there is also It also has to We also have to bear in mind That there are situations In which we don't raise our hands And this for example We can take the Hadith of أنا سبن مالك رضي الله عن That he said كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم لا يرفع ويديه في شيء من دعائه إلا في الاستسقاء And the Hadith is narrated By بخاري المسلم The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم Never raised his hands In anything other than الاستسقاء Seeking rain شيخ الإسلام بمتامية رحم الله تعالى He has a statement about this Because a person might hear this The Hadith is in بخاري المسلم And they might say But I can't reconcile We've just talked about The different times of raising دعاء But then we have a Hadith That says he only raised his hands For rain So what does that mean شيخ الإسلام بمتامية رحم الله تعالى He said The correct opinion Is generally raising the hands In all the situations of دعاء فقد تواتر في الصحاح It is reported by متواتر By so many Sahaba and narrations Who reported The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم Raising his hands And then he gave Some of the examples of this From the Ahadith He gave many examples of the شيخ إسلام Of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم Generally raising his hands Then he said وَالجَمْعُ بَيْنَ حَدِيْفِ أَنَسْ هَذَا وَسَائِرِ الْأَحَادِيْثِ And the way that we reconcile Between the Hadith of Anas and all of the other Ahadith ما قاله طوايف من العلماء What a group of the scholars said وَهُوَ أَنَّا عَنَسَنْ ذَكَرًا الرفع الشديد الذي يرى فيه بياضه إبطي That Anas mentioned the raising of the hands Which was emphasized Which is raising the hands right up Until the underarms are shown And this description Of raising the hands like that This is the one that Ibn Abbas called Alibtihaal The one that Ibn Abbas called Alibtihaal And that what Ibn Abbas called Alibtihaal This one where we're talking about the raising of the hands In an exaggerated manner Right out so the armpits are seen Then this is reported in Al-Istisqa In seeking rain And some of the scholars widened it To situations of extreme fear and anxiety Like when the enemy is about to overcome you So Shaykh Al-Islam Tameer He continued he said فجعل المراتبة ثلاثة So therefore There are three levels of raising the hands He mentioned Al-Ishara بالإسباع Or بإسباع واحدة To indicate with a single finger As was done on the day of Jumu'a On the Mimbar الثانية المسألة And that is the normal du'a that you make When you raise your hands to around shoulder level And the third one is Al-Ibtihaal And that is the one that Anas رضي الله عنه Mentioned And that's the summary of what Shaykh Al-Islam بن تيمير رحم الله تعالى Mentioned regarding the raising of the hands And how we reconcile between it But there are some times when the Prophet ﷺ Would not raise his hands And among those are In the Jumu'a prayer When the khatib is making du'a In the Jumu'a prayer And the people are listening to the khatib We sometimes see people making a mistake in this That the khatib on Jumu'a The person giving the sermon They make du'a for the Muslims They make du'a for Allah to bless us For Allah to give us the best of this life and the next And people raise their hands But this is not from the Sunnah The Prophet ﷺ It's one of the examples in which We don't know of any evidence For raising the hands in this situation Instead what we say is That the only time a person should raise their hands During the Jumu'a خطبة is when asking Allah for rain Or when the Imam is asking Allah for rain And Allah is the best That seems to be the best way to reconcile Between these many different Ahadith That deal with the raising of the hands So the general sort of concept of du'a Is the raising of the hands There are some times where we don't raise our hands Included during Jumu'a And also there is no evidence for The raising of the hands After finishing the prayer Instead of the أذكار So you know we see sometimes people They say السلام عليكم ورحمة الله السلام عليكم ورحمة الله And then they raise their hands And we don't know of any evidence for doing this We don't know that the Prophet ﷺ ever did this Or that his companions ever did this So it's important that After the salah what we do is أستوفر الله أستوفر الله أستوفر الله اللهم أنت السلام ومنك السلام تبارك تبارك تبارك تبارك تبارك تبارك تبارك تبارك تبارك تبارك تبارك تبارك تبارك And so on Through the أذكار That are said after the prayer But there is no sunnah for Immediately after the prayer Raising the hands and particularly Even more so not doing it in In congregation So hopefully that is something Which is understood The last point that I want to Raise in this particular episode Is the facing of the قبلة Is one of the etiquettes of Of دعاء In the Two صحيص The Sahih of Imam Al-Bukhari Imam Muslim From the hadith of عبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله عن That he said إستقبل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم الكعبة فدعا على نفر من قرش The Prophet ﷺ faced the Kaaba And he made dua Against a group of people From قرش And likewise From the hadith of أمر ابن الخطاب رضي الله عن In which he Mentioned the day of Badr And he said نظر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إلى المشركين وهم ألف The Prophet ﷺ looked At the polytheists And they Were a thousand وأصحابه ثلاث مئة And his companions were 300 in number 19 رجل And they were 319 men فستقبل نبي الله صلى الله عليه وسلم القبلة ثم مد يدي Then the Prophet ﷺ faced the Kaaba And he raised up His hands And he began to plead With His Lord And the hadith is a longer A longer hadith But we can suffice with Mentioning the Shahid from it The Point from the hadith That is relevant to our discussion Which is the facing of the Qiblah It doesn't have to be done All of the time But it is important that We try to revive As much of the sunnah as possible And so that we can You know When appropriate And when there is Ability to do Facing the Qiblah When making dua Is from the sunnah Of the Prophet ﷺ So that's what We have time to mention And that's what الله عز وجل Made easy for this particular episode And Allah عز وجل knows best وصلاته والسلام على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعي السلام عليكم
