 وأقولوا في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكاريم المنزاله وأقولوا قال الله جل جلاله والمصطف الهدي ولا أتأوله الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على عبد الله ورسوله نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته مرحباً لكم في another episode from this series برأيكم بالمدرسة العمارية في حال السلامة الله عز وجل وقال ربكم ودعوني أستجب لكم والمصطف قلوا علىي وأنا سوف أخبركم في this series we are dealing all around the topic of du'a how to make du'a what causes your du'a to be accepted what are some of the obstacles that might prevent your du'a from being accepted what are some of the etiquettes of du'a how do you get near to Allah through your du'a and finally what are some of the supplications that you can make that are authentically reported from the Prophet ﷺ and having finished in the previous episodes the topic of the etiquettes of du'a and the kind of theory of du'a we now move on to a new topic and that is an explanation of the some of the supplications of the Prophet ﷺ and look at particularly those supplications which are comprehensive in nature we are going to start by looking at a hadith of our mother Aisha رضي الله عنها and this hadith is narrated by Imam Ahmed in his Musnad by Abi Dawood in his Sunan and by Ibn Hibban in his Sahih رحمه الله تعالى this is the hadith that our mother Aisha رضي الله عنها she said كان النبي ﷺ يؤجيبه الجوامع من الدعاء ويدعو ما بين ذلك the Prophet ﷺ he used to love the supplications which were comprehensive in nature that was what he used to focus on and that's why when you look at many of the supplications of the Prophet ﷺ they are comprehensive and general in nature and he used to give importance to those and prefer them over the supplications that were more specific in nature and there are many reasons why that can be the case first of all with one simple دعاء you cover many many different situations and that has multiple benefits to it first of all it means that for people who are just learning their supplications in Arabic you can learn a single supplication that will cover many many tens and hundreds of different situations that you might go through in your life that's one reason why you might give attention to the comprehensive supplications another reason why you might give attention to the comprehensive supplications is because a person doesn't always know what's good for them and a person the more and specific you become the more likely it is that you fall into ألئة دعاء you fall into transgression and going over the limits as it relates to your دعاء you remember we covered an أثر where one of the صحابة ربي الله عنهم they mentioned it or they heard one of their children making دعاء asking Allah for a palace on the right side a white palace on the right side of Jannah and we said that the more specific you become it's easy to transgress in your دعاء it's easy to ask for something that isn't right or something that's not befitting or something that's not good for you so by keeping your دعاء comprehensive in nature it allows or it protects you from transgression in your دعاء and ultimately you will always get what is what is best for you and you'll always get perhaps even some good will happen to you that you didn't expect would happen or that you weren't even it wasn't even something you were thinking about but because of the general nature of that دعاء then all of the aspects are covered so let's have a look at a comprehensive supplication and example of that from the حديث of our mother آيشة رضي الله عنها that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said to her يا آيشة عليكي بجاوام عد دعاء he said oh آيشة you should stick to or you should take to supplicating with comprehensive supplications and then the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he gave an example اللهما إني أسألوك من الخير كله عاجله وآجله ما علمت منه وما لم أعلم oh الله I ask you from every kind of good من الخير كله every kind of good عاجله that which comes soon which comes quickly وآجله that which comes later on that which is delayed and العاجل it could refer to the dunya and the last or it could be even within the dunya that you have the aji that which is the good comes to you immediately and the aji that which the good comes to you later on and we mentioned that your du'a can be accepted in different ways and one of the ways your du'a can be accepted is that Allah سبحانه وتعالى keeps that du'a and stores it for you until يوم القيامة and that's an example of الخير العاجل the good which is delayed and an example of الخير العاجل is that Allah سبحانه وتعالى answers it for you immediately and gives you the thing that you've asked for immediately so this du'a الله أسألوك من الخير كله or Allah asks you for every kind of good from every kind of good because ultimately a person doesn't know where the good is going to come from a person doesn't necessarily know what's good for them وعسى أنتكره شيءًا ويجعل الله فيه خيرًا كثيرًا perhaps you might dislike something and Allah places within it a great deal of good so you ask Allah for good from all the different kinds of good there are good or there are examples of good which comes to you as we said in the dunya a good which comes to you in the akhir a good which comes to you immediately a good which comes to you later on in all different areas whether it is good in terms of your children in terms of your family in terms of your wealth in terms of your religion your knowledge in terms of all of the different causes and types of good you ask Allah from all of them from all of the different types of good what comes immediately or quickly and what is delayed and comes later ما علمتوا منهم وما لم أعلم those things that I know from it and those things that I don't know and we mentioned that a person perhaps doesn't know what's good for them don't we hear this expression a lot we hear people say to to other people you don't know what's good for you but in terms of a human a human being in their relationship with Allah that's absolutely true that's absolutely true وَاللَّهُ يَا علَمُوا وَأَنْتُمُ لَا تَا علَمُونَ and Allah knows and you don't know I Allah knows what is good for you and you don't know what's good for you so there may be things of the khayr that you know that are good for you you ask Allah for Jannah and you know that's good for you and you ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to give you some good in the dunya you know that's good for you but there may be things that you don't know that they're good for you there may be things that Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala imagine a person who doesn't know the virtue of knowledge you know okay they appreciate people of knowledge but they've never thought about how virtuous it is to study Islam and learn Islam to never occurred to them or they've never really come across the hadith in that regard they're praying their prayers they're coming close to Allah but they've never really thought about it they might not say رب يزدني إلمة my Lord increase me in knowledge because they haven't appreciated how important it is so this could be from the khayr that they don't know about something that is very good for them but they don't know how good it is for them a person could be engaged in something in their job which is not good for them but they can't quite see that the job is not good for them where they're seeing they don't see it that way or they haven't come to appreciate it that way so there can be elements of good that you know and elements of good that you don't know and then this I saw comprehensive that it doesn't just talk about good it also talks about the bad things that can happen to a person وععوذ بك من الشر كله عاجله وآجله ما علمتو من هو ما لم أعلم and I seek refuge with you from all kinds of evil عاجله the evil which comes immediately or the evil which comes quickly وقاجله and the evil which is delayed and again that could be delayed until after a person dies it could be delayed in terms of their life in this worldly life ما علمتو من هو that which I know of وما علم أعلم and that which I don't know of because again a person may know of certain evils and be asking Allah and saying Allahumma إني عوذ بك من عذابي جهنم ومن عذابي القبر ومن فتنة المحيا والممات ومن شر فتنة المسيح تجال there may be things that people know about the fire the punishment of the grave the تجال they ask Allah to keep them safe but there may be other evils that a person doesn't doesn't appreciate or hasn't learnt about or doesn't realize are going to happen to them so they ask Allah to keep them safe from those evils whatever I know from it and whatever I don't know the dua continues اللهم إني أسألك من خير ما سألك منه محمد نعبدك ونبيك صلى الله عليه وسلم oh Allah I ask you from the good of which your slave and Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم asked you this here has an indication of following the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and we know that we have a principle that we take from this statement that Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم is the messenger of Allah that there was no good except that Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم taught it to his ummah and there was no evil except that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم warned his ummah about it and so when you ask Allah عز و جل with what the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم asked you bring all the good every possible opportunity and every possible kind of good is in what the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم taught and what he asked for and every kind of evil is in opposing the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and going away from his sunnah وعقوذ بك من شر ما عذا منه عبدك ونبيك and I seek refuge with you from the evil of which your servant and your Prophet sought refuge with you from and that also indicates to us that there are many things that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to supplicate to Allah عز و جل 4 and again we may not have memorized all of the hadith in that regard but here we have a comprehensive du'a where we say whatever your Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم used to ask you for we ask you from that and whatever he used to seek refuge with you from we seek refuge with you from that and the hadith continues اللهم إني أسألوك الجنة وما قرب إليها من قول وعمل أو الله I ask you for paradise and what brings near to it what brings a person near to it whether statements or actions asking Allah for jannah is one of the most important pillars of du'a one of the most important features of du'a and that's why when the man came to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم but I ask Allah for jannah and I ask him to keep me safe from the fire and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said it's these two things that we are murmuring about it's these two things that we are asking Allah for so ultimately all of the things that you're asking Allah for are based around asking Allah for jannah and asking Allah to keep you away from the fire اللهم إني أسألوك الجنة while I ask you for jannah and I ask you for the statements and actions that will bring me near to it because ultimately جنة in order to be from the people of jannah we have to bring the conditions and we have to bring the actions that are the cause for the mercy of Allah that causes a person to be from the people of jannah so ultimately you enter jannah by the mercy of Allah you don't enter jannah by simply doing good deeds but those good deeds are the key to the mercy of Allah as زوجل as إبن القيم رحم الله تعالى indicated on others and therefore you're asking Allah for the statements and actions that are the statements and actions of the people of jannah that bring a person near to jannah وعود بكامنة نار and I seek refuge with you from the fire وما قرب إليها من قولين وعمل and whatever brings near to the fire where the statements or or actions where the statements or actions and we know again what causes the people to be dragged on their faces into the fire except for the the حصائد what they have reaped from the statements of their tongue so we know that there are statements that bring a person near to the fire and there are actions that bring a person near to the fire وَلْعِيَا ذُبِ اللَّهُمْ we ask Allah refuge from them and then the dua concludes وَأَسْأَلُكَ ما قضيت لي من قضاء وَتَجَعَلَا أَعْقِبَتَهُ رُشْتًا and I ask you that whatever decree that you have decreed for me that the end result that the end result is one of rushd here could be a one of guidance or a positive that it brings the end result for me the Aqiba of it is something good and that is very there's a very subtle understanding there which is that many times the actual event that happens to you in the moment might be an event that is difficult for you to bear it might be an event that is quote on quote bad for you a calamity a hardship a problem a suffering a sickness that happens to you but it's not what happens to you at that moment that matters but it's what the Aqiba of that is what is the outcome of it is it that it brings you nearer to Allah or it takes you further away from Allah and that's why people often ask you the question is Allah punishing me by these negative things that are happening to me am I suffering from them because I've done something what what does this mean for me but it's not the the Qadr itself that happens to you at that moment is not what matters but what matters is the outcome of it the Aqiba of it is it an Aqiba which is Hamidah which is praiseworthy where a person became near to Allah they became sick they become near to Allah they suffered they become near to Allah they had a calamity happened to them they repented it's a positive outcome or is it a negative outcome where a person had something happened to them and it took them away from Allah so we ask Allah whatever do you have decreed for me make the final outcome of that decree what at the end result of that decree make it something which is praiseworthy something which is guided something which is you can say it's good for you these are all some of the meanings of الرشد so this is a comprehensive du'a that the Prophet ﷺ told Aisha and he said to her عليكي بجوامع الدعاء O Aisha you should make comprehensive supplications and if you look at one of the most common supplications that the Prophet ﷺ used to make as Anas رضي الله عن told us about that the du'a that he heard the Prophet ﷺ and making again and again in سجود ربنا آتنا في الدنيا حسنة وفي الآخرة حسنة وقنا عذاب النار this du'a has again it's comprehensive everything is found within it so a person might have listened to this long du'a and said well it's very long du'a how will I learn such a long du'a it will take me time but there are comprehensive supplications which are very short like ربنا آتنا في الدنيا حسنة our Lord our Lord ربنا you're coming close to Allah with his ربوبية and that was the way of the Prophet ﷺ that they would come close to Allah through ربوبية through Allah's Lordship and the fact that Allah nurtures them and takes care of them ربنا آتنا or Allah give us في الدنيا حسنة in this world everything حسنة here is a loft which is عام it's a general term that covers everything which is حسنة everything which is good and beautiful everything which is good for you give me anything that's good for me in the دنيا give it to me وفل آخيراتي حسنة and everything that's good for me in the آخيرة give it to me وقينا عذاب النار and protect us from the punishment of the fire and this also indicates that everything good that happens to you in this world happens to you from the grace of Allah and everything good that happens to you in the hereafter happens to you from the grace of Allah عز وجل so if you want good in the دنيا you seek it from Allah and if you want good in the آخيرة you seek it from الله عز وجل and the سنة is that you don't ask Allah عز وجل for the دنيا alone you don't just ask Allah for the دنيا and not ask Allah for the rest or for the آخيرة rather you ask Allah for the دنيا and the آخيرة together there are some people فمن الناس من يقول ربنا آتنا في الدنيا وما له في الآخيرة من خلق there are some people who they say our Lord give us in the دنيا but they don't have any share in the hereafter and there are those who say ومنهم من يقول ربنا آتنا في الدنيا حسنة there are those who say give us good in the دنيا وفي الآخيرة حسنة and good in the آخيرة وقينا عذاب النار and protect us from the punishment of the fire and that again we've talked about how many of the du'a the huge majority of the of the supplications which are comprehensive will fall around that which will bring you to جنة and that which will keep you safe from the fire and bring all of this together in a very short statement that many of us know so this is another example of الجوامع the comprehensive supplications that we can make and insha'Allah تعالى we're going to continue with that in the next episode by the permission of Allah that's what Allah made easy for me to mention in this episode and Allah is the best والصلاة والسلام على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين السلام
