 أعوض بالله من الشيطان الرجيم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم نحمدك الله مياما وأكمل لنا دية المروتظوي وتم نعمته للحيدرية ونصلي ونسلم على الخاص باق والفاتح لمن غلاق والمعلن الحق بالحاق والدافع جيشات الأباطي الحبيبك وحبيبنا لا قيبين في طخيام مصور والسراج المستور مهدي هذه الأمة وجنت بن الحسن العسكري عجل الله تعالى فرجه الشري لعنة الله ولعنة الله الحسان يبن الحسان دست منه ششم منه إهسان الحسان يبن الحسان هي صعب علينا أن تفاق يغيب عننا وجهك القمر انتظار يبن الحسان متى متى ترى لتحسن و to pray for the hastening of the reappearance of our beloved Awaited Imam The Awaited Savior صاحب العسري والزمان Let us recite three loud صلوات على محمد وآلي محمد Respect the scholars their brothers and sisters Respect the younger ones their elder ones May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon you all السلام عليكم جميعا ورحمة الله و بركاته Continue on our Remembrance of Amir al-Mu'mineen On this final night of the English program We noticed that Imam علي ابن أبي طالب Was given a number of titles For example, Amir al-Mu'mineen سيدا وصيين أبل حسن One of the titles also was He was إمام المتقين Also according to the Hadith of the Sixth Imam إمام جعفا صادر صلوات الله و سلام علي He used to mention Amir al-Mu'mineen He would say كان أمير المؤمنين رجلا دعا أمير المؤمنين Another of his title was That he was a man Known for reciting دعا For supplicating Towards Allah سبحانه وتعالى A man who should dedicate his lifetime In worship of Allah سبحانه وتعالى And tonight We are here on one of the Special nights The nights of Qadr It is important for us to understand The importance of دعا Many questions have been asked about دعا What are the etiquettes Of reciting دعا Why have my dua I've been praying and reciting دعا Supplicating towards Allah سبحانه وتعالى For years and years But why as if my دعا has not been Accepted When we look in the Quran Allah سبحانه وتعالى On numerous occasions Not only commands But recommends and advises Mankind to recite دعا دعا means to invoke And to call upon him To recite towards him هنس الله سبحانه وتعالى States أدعوني أستجب لكم كوه تو الله سبحانه وتعالى Recite دعا الله سبحانه وتعالى Guaranteed أستجب لكم Your dua is Accepted وإذا سألك عبادي In another verse وإذا سألك عبادي عني فأني قريبا أجيبوا دعا وتدعي إذا دعاني If my servants ask you Our Prophet of Allah If the servants of mine My creation ask you about me Then let them know that I am nae And if they wish to call upon Allah سبحانه وتعالى For their Hajj For their dua Let them know I nae I am nae And I shall respond And answer their دعا You notice in أحاديث Not only أمير المؤمن كان رجلا دعا Was a man known For reciting dua But you notice the Holy Prophet For example would say الدعا سلاح المؤمن دعا Is the weapon of the believer ونور السماواتي والارب And it is the light Of the heavens and the earth You notice for example The Prophet would say That عليكم بسلاح الأنبياء Take hold the weapons That the Prophet سبحانه وتعالى Used to use They used to use this weapon What is this weapon? Where is this tool? A dua He would also say For example ترك الدعا معصية To stay away from dua And to prevent yourself From calling upon الله سبحانه وتعالى For your particular hajjah Is a form of Sid Hence One of the recommended acts In Sana Is for us to raise our hands And ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى In qunout For a Dua Now with the short time The time at your service Insha'Allah في خدمتكم Let us understand A few important questions About dua Number one Why for example When I ask a dua That dua is not accepted We'll ask to this in five Stages Number one There is no doubt That my knowledge And your knowledge Is nothing on par With the khikmah And the علم of Allah سبحانه وتعالى And there is a time When I may be praying And reciting dua For a particular hajjah Allah سبحانه وتعالى Has listened And answered And responded to my dua But may I may not see that dua Immediately responded towards me Why? Because there is a khikmah In that dua Being responded And given a response later on There are many times for example You pray for a particular thing You ask dua for a particular hajjah You notice that dua Has been delayed After when you notice That that dua Has been delayed And you say الحمد لله What a grace it was That I received The qaba'u al hajjah At this particular time If I had receded it then It would have been for my own Danger and worry Hence we say in dua If the ta'u Which the brothers and sisters Have been reciting In the month of Ramadhan و لعل الذي أبطأ عني هو خير لي Why? لعلمك باقبة And it so is That what is delayed For me Is better for who? For me For you الله سبحانه وتعالى Know and have true knowledge And full knowledge With the outcome of All of my dua Number 2 Many of us When we recite dua They ask the Imam Imam As-Sadaq صلى الله عليه وسلم Why when I recite dua It's as if my dua Has not been accepted I've been praying for a particular Hajj It's not been accepted Why? Because many of us When we recite dua We recite as if it's a lip service It's just a tongue oscillating The heart Is somewhere completely else The heart's focus is not on the Dua But the mind and the focus The concentration is on something else It's like saying someone in a lecture In a lecture hall When they're in university When they're in college Or when they're in a majlis If the speaker is giving a lecture The ones who are full concentration And full focus on the lecture They are the ones who will be able to respond Better But the ones who are far far away And just seeing the lecture Not taking and grasping the information They are the ones who won't be able to get most of the Information Most of the Answers In the same way they ask the six Imam Why is my dua not accepted He said because you pray لأنكم تدعون من لا تعرفون You pray And recite dua But you do not have true knowledge And awareness and recognition When you recite The dua There is no focus And awareness In the dua Number two Number three When it comes to reciting dua The Recommended acts of dua Need to be also accepted For example They ask the Imam Why When I recite dua It's not accepted I'm being at home I recite dua But as if my dua Has not been accepted Why Because with your dua You are not trying your best And working hard And endeavoring To perform the task that you are asking For example You sit at home You've been 11 years in school College You sit at home يا الله يا الله يا الله I wish to pass my exams And get a star But I do not wish to study I do not wish to go to college I do not wish to open a book And I do not wish to read at all About my exams Do you think you will pass And get a star No منك الحركة من الله بركة الله سبحانه وتعالى Has given a system in this world You work hard You endeavor to go towards your Tonk it Reach your status With the dua That you are asking الله سبحانه وتعالى Allah سبحانه وتعالى Would make your task easier Facilitate your task Number 3 Number 4 When it comes to dua There are etiquettes Of reciting dua Recommended acts And reciting dua Tonight is Laylatunqad One of the nights of Qad We wish to know the etiquettes Of reciting dua How important it is for me To recite dua To gain that nearness Towards Allah سبحانه وتعالى To have that full attention And focus in dua Number 1 One of the highly recommended acts When it comes to reciting dua Is to start your dua And end your dua With the salawat على محمد وآلي محمد When one recites the dua According to the six Imam If he starts with the salawat And ends with the salawat The beginning dua is accepted Which is the salawat The end dua is accepted Then the middle dua The part and parcel The sandwich in the middle is also Accepted by Allah سبحانه وتعالى كل دعاء محجوب Every dua is covered Until one recites salawat على محمد وآلي محمد That covering is removed And the dua is accepted The first etiquette of reciting dua Is to start And end your dua with salawat Number 2 An etiquette of reciting dua Is to remember others Before your own self Remember On the 15th of the month of Ramadhan When we remembered Imam Hassan And Mujtaba A.S One of the famous traditions In the life of Imam Hassan Is that when he would go Towards the محراب Of his beloved mother فاطمة الزهراء He would notice فاطمة الزهراء Would be in the محرام Should recite dua دعاء دعاء until her feet An anchor will swell And she would continue reciting dua Then he would approach her أمه Our beloved mother You remembered everyone else In dua and prayers But you did not remember your own self Should respond ألجار ثم الدعاء First others First neighbors Then your own self Hence the hadith Says from the holy six Imam That when one Recites and remembers 40 believers in his dua فستجي بله His dua is also Accepted and answered Guaranteed Hence one of the greatest Recommended prayers صلاة الليل In صلاة الليل Which is 11 raka'a The one raka'a Which is known as صلاة الليل With In صلاة الليل The whole focus of صلاة الليل Is on صلاة الليل In صلاة الليل The whole focus of صلاة الليل Is on what part In the qunout In the whole focus of صلاة الليل You've raised yourself From sleep You've gone to the prayer mat Everyone else is asleep Don't start anyone You go to صلاة الليل Start taking photos Snapchat here there Tell everyone that your own صلاة الليل No It's a sincere between you and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala Does not need your Snapchat To tell them that you're Praying صلاة الليل He knows he's away He recite صلاة الليل صلاة الويتر In the صلاة الويتر There is a focus Everyone else is asleep But you have remembered And you said اللهم اغفر للمؤمنين Or the believers اللهم اغفر لي Or Allah forgive and protect And it's recommended to mention 40 of the Mu'minina Mu'minin By name For example حسن حسين عباس جعفة All of them Name your believing Brothers and friends So that is the second اتكت of reciting دعوة And gaining the acceptance of your دعوة The third Recommended اتكت اداب Of reciting دعوة Is there is a place And time For everything There is a place for صلاة And there is a time For صلاة Can I pray صلاة الفجر now? No Can I pray صلاة الظهر عصر now? No Can I pray صلاة العيد now? No There is a place And time For دعوة And there are specific places And times Where دعوة Are guaranteed to be Accepted For example بين قلعين Between فجر صلاة الفجر And sunrise This is one of the greatest moments Of دعوة being Accepted When you head towards صلاة الفجر Stay there And recite some دعوة At the time of ليلة الجمعة On the day of جمعة At the time of Which other time Is it recommended At the time of ليلة قادر Highly recommended to recite دعوة in this particular night After Every واجب صلاة It is highly recommended to recite دعوة Even some narrations recite State That when صلاة Your واجب صلاة is prayed The أبواب الجنان The gates of heaven are open for you And the angels say اسأل ما تشاء Ask what you wish for The gates of heaven are opened up for you And when someone As soon as he prays صلاة Rushes and goes away from his prayer mat The angels look at one another and say This person had the opportunity For his دعوة to be accepted بتحرم من دالك But he refrained from his own دعوة being Accepted So after every واجب صلاة It is also recommended To raise one's hands in دعوة And ask for دعوة Also another moment that دعوة Is highly recommended And accepted at places For example in مسجد الحرام In مكل مكرمة In مسجد نبوي In the holy shine of the Holy Prophet In other مساجد It is highly recommended to Recite دعوة At the time and the place where it is Raining with the blessings of Allah And mercy of Allah Are sharing upon the creation Are accepted Finally Another moment a question is asked Why is my دعوة accepted The final point, the fifth point Is that دعوة shall not be accepted Whilst one is sinning And performing حرام What do we recite in دعوة You made last night اللهم اغفر لي الذنوبل التي تحبس دعوة Oh Allah I ask you for forgiveness And protection From those sins of mine Which are preventing And blocking my دعوة From being accepted Yesterday we talked about the bounce check This one does not even be bounced This one even Does not even Head towards the skies Because of the sins Sin They are blocking my دعوة Even from being raised Towards the Sky دعوة With a sinless person دعوة Whilst you have removed yourself from Sins Kept yourself away from Sins So when you ask for دعوة Ask Allah for truth Forgiveness and Repentance And where else finally Is دعوة guaranteed to be Accepted There is a place Which I am sure every single one of us here Wish to be very soon أبا عبدالله الحسين Is shrine According to narrations There are three specialties In أبا عبدالله الحسين الأئمة من والده The imams are from the lineage Of أبا عبدالله والشفاء في تربته And there is a cure and remedy In the tourbo of Imam الحسين No other tourbo No other dust No other soul Is it permissible for us to sip Or have Accept for the tourbo خاك الشفاء Of أبا عبدالله الحسين And finally والدعا تحت قبته استجابة الدعا Under the shrine of أبا عبدالله الحسين هنيئا Glad tidings to those who are tonight Under the قبه Of أبا عبدالله الحسين For not only they are there tonight But they are also performing One of the recommended acts On the night ليلة القادر It is highly recommended to recite زيارة Of أبا عبدالله الحسين زيارة ضبع عبدالله الحسين On ليلة القادر Yes Why? Because أبا عبدالله الحسين Was the embodiment of sincerity He gave everything he could Towards الله سبحانه وتعالى And Allah سبحانه وتعالى With the special status of أبا عبدالله الحسين Gives everything you wish Which is permissible For your hajat When you ask in the name of أبا عبدالله الحسين Tonight In the same way That أبا عبدالله الحسين زيارة is being recited By many of the brothers And sisters around the world Especially those Who are in the shrine Of أبا عبدالله الحسين We wish to start our dua With the acceptance Of the recitation Of the زيارة Of أبا عبدالله الحسين But what kind of Ziyara we would like to say We would like to recite A ziyara Of a true companion Of أبا عبدالله الحسين جابر جابر ابن عبدالله And Sari His dua was accepted Do you know how? He wished to see حبيبي حسين His beloved حسين And do you know how He wished to see أمام الحسين After the martyrdom? جابر was Partially sighted He couldn't see He was blinded He had a companion By the name of أطيه He would say أطيه We are walking towards حبيبي حسين But I can't see So أطيه Pass me some طراب Some dust أشمه Let me smell the fragrance If it has The fragrance Of أبا عبدالله We'll stay here أطيه gives him some dust جابر smells the fragrance He says no He'll say نبن علي He was not buried here Let's move on It's a lesson for every single One of us here today If you go to a place A gathering A center A group A room A website That does not have This fragrance Of أبا عبدالله حسين Move Walk on Move Go to where حسين نبن علي Stay Some resides Hence جابر walks on He gives him the fragrance Of the طربة جابر says أطيه We are going to stay here He calls out حبيبي حسين My beloved حسين السلام عليك يا أبا عبدالله سعيدة سعيدة سعيدة سعيدة سعيدة أبا عبدالله حسين Then he asks him a question أبا عبدالله Why is it that I cannot hear a response from you أبا عبدالله He gives his own مصيبة He says I know why Why? Because your jism Your holy body is in Karbala والرأس على القناة يدارو Your holy head is not here أبا عبدالله is being moved by بانو أمي From one spear to another spear From one city to another city From Kufa to Sham Until جابر notices that there are some groups coming أطيه says جابر there is a group coming towards Karbala Who is it? أطيه and جابر approach It is the Imam of the time إمام زين العبدين إمام says جابر Is this جابر The beloved companion of Rasool Allah He says نعم أنا جابر I am جابر I am the great companion of Rasool Allah إمام زين العبدين Holds the hands of جابر جابر ها هنا قتلابي أبا عبدالله جابر is Where my beloved father أبا عبدالله was killed جابر ها هنا This is the area where the women were paraded جابر this is the area Where my beloved father قطعوه أربى نربى من الوريد إلى الوريد They ripped his body into pieces They slaughtered my beloved father From one vein to another vein يا جابر My father would call out أما فيكم مسلم Is there one Muslim amongst you They prevented him from one sip of water يا جابر جابر يا جابر أو جابر أو جابر We are the ones who wish to condol you also We wish to be of those صاحب عزاء With the Imam of our time إن شاء الله We are the ones who wish to call out with جابر أن دي إيمامز أن سيد زيناب السلام على الحسين السلام على الحسين وعلى علي ابن الحسين وعلى الحسين وعلى الحسين جابر there is one more body I wish to take you towards قمر بني هاشم قمر بني هاشم أبا عبد اللاز بلبد برضا بالفضل عباس He rushes towards أبا الفضل عباس He says this is باب الحوائج وصاتها دعاءة فرف عن مصاحف Remembering the great hajad That we all have إن شاء الله With the blessings of Salawat علي محمد وآلي محمد
