 أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على سيدنا ونبينا وحبيب قلوبنا محمد وأهل بيته الطيبين الطاهرين اللهم صل على محمد وآل محمد قال تعالى في كتابه الكريم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم قلوا دعو الله أو دعو الرحمن أي ما تدعو فلهو الأسماء والحسنة محمد وأهل بيته الطيبين والصلاة والسلام عليكم ورحمة الله في مقابلاتنا مع نهاية الأمر عن مقابلاتنا ومقابلاتنا ومقابلاتنا المقابلاتنا سنقوم بمقابلاتنا المقابلات المقابلات من الله سبحانه و تعالى is that we should work we should exert our efforts and do something as Allah سبحانه و تعالى says وأن ليس للإنسان إلا ما صعب human being would not reap anything but what he has earned what he has worked hard toward it if he has worked hard toward it he will earn that thing so it is always coupled with the action if someone who is sick he cannot say let me just pray without going to the doctor visiting the doctor or the student cannot say in order for me to get an A let's just pray and sit on the prayer mat and ask Allah سبحانه و تعالى to grant me A without taking the effort without exerting his energy and studying hard in order to achieve it the same way a parent cannot ask Allah سبحانه و تعالى to have a righteous children without taking the effort of upbringing them of working hard to teach them to make them learn the ethics and moral codes just by prayers themselves it will not help it would not be conducive they must be coupled with actions one day a man came to an Imam صادق عليه السلام and he said that I have heard somebody who is saying I will stay in my home in the quarters of my home and I pray and observe fasting and do my supplications فأما رزقي فسيأتيني God will send my subsistence God will send my nourishment I don't need to work hard the Imam عليه السلام says هذا أحد الثلاثة الذين لا يستجاب له he is one of those that God would not answer his call why? because you have to go to work if it were only by prayers and supplications then the Prophet peace be upon him would stay on his prayer mat in the front of the mosque then he would pray that God would eliminate all his enemies and God would conquer all the lands for him and give him ready to him as the lands of Islam he didn't have to struggle he didn't have to go into battles and fight the enemies he didn't have to go and establish the Islamic nation meanwhile he didn't have to lose his companions and to see his uncle Hamza for example or other relatives are getting martyred if it were only had to do with the prayers why did he have to go and struggle and fight and work hard there are always prayers are coupled with hard work there are always must be this conjugate presented to Allah that at the same time oh lord I am asking you I need your help and your assistant to fulfill my needs I am also working hard actively working in order to achieve it here the Prophet أبادر يا أبادر مثل الذي يدعو بغير عمل كمثل الذي يرمي بغير وتر somebody who prays without taking any action is like someone who throws an arrow but that arrow does not have a string well how is that possible it's not possible at all so those two things always have to be together the second condition is avoiding sins sins are the broad blocks between us and our lord it is those sins that stop our prayers short from getting to the heavens as the Imam أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام says oh the lord forgive those sins of me that prevent my prayers to reach you to get close to you it is narrated that one day موسى ابن عمران the Prophet was walking and notice someone who is praying for hours and hours he goes back and see that this man is prostrating and praying لو كانت حاجته بيدي لو كانت حاجته بيدي لقضيتها if it's need was in my hand then I have fulfilled it but Allah سبحانه وتعالى answered موسى told him لو سجد حتى ينقطع عنقه if this man prostrate until his neck is broken into pieces I would not answer him حتى يتحول عما أكرهه إلى ما أحب until he changes from what I dislike to something that I like so sins are the greatest obstacles between us and our lord Insha'Allah on the next night we will dedicate the entire topic about this effect how sins cut us short from getting to our lord the third condition and third effect of our prayers is when we do them collectively when we sit all together hand in hand and we ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى for our desires to be met this أمن يجيب المطر إذا دعاء will have a great effect when many people sitting together and praying that will have a very resounding effect it will have a monumental change in our status as the Imam says if 40 people get together and then they ask the Almighty for something that they need desperately the Almighty will answer them he will be calling them this a beautiful دعاء جوشن الكبير when the people sit together and they all together recite this beautiful word سبحانك يا لا إله إلا and الغوث الغوث will have a tremendous effect you will see the effect of your prayers immediately if something has bothered him if something has bothered him he will call upon the ladies and the children he will call upon the ladies and the children he gather them all together at once and then he ask for his desires from Allah سبحانه وتعالى and then they say Amen when they say Amen all together the answer the prayer will be answered the other effect is spelling and articulating your needs the Almighty knows our needs in the dua يامن يملك حوائج السائلين ويعلم ضمير الصامتي oh you the lord you know those who are you know what's inside the heart of those who are silent who do not say anything he knows everything in our heart yet he loves to hear it from us that we articulate it this mere mentioning of the prayers when we say them it will strengthen the bond it will increase the bond and increases the relationship and strengthen the relationship between us and the Almighty Allah سبحانه وتعالى especially when we insist on the prayers when we keep keep repeating those prayers again and again when we keep asking our needs over and over the prophet says God would love those who keep insistence who insist upon their demands who insist upon their needs from the Almighty it is hated that we ask our needs from other people and we keep asking and asking but from Allah سبحانه وتعالى it is a great desire that you keep repeating the same over and over again أمام الباقر عليه السلام says whenever a servant a caller keep begging and begging and begging the Almighty Allah سبحانه وتعالى God will answer him God will say this person needs that thing therefore he answer his call and lastly the last effect is the timing of the prayers everything has its own time every field has its own season and the time of the prayer the best time of the prayers is in the middle of the nights when everybody is at sleep when no one can hear you no eyes can watch you no ears can hear what you say that is the best time because there is only one entity that can hear listen and see you listen to you and see you and that is the Almighty Allah سبحانه وتعالى he tells his a prophet he tells him يا أيها المزمل قم الليلة إلا قليلة stand up in front of me during the middle of night نصفه أو قص منه قليلة أو زد عليه وردت للقرآن ترتيلة take partake half of the night where you stand in front of me stand up in front of me and perform your prayers that is the desire that is the best desire time in another verse in another hadith narration it is narrated from the الإمام الصادق عليه السلام he says that one day the lord is telling موسى ابن عمران telling him يا ابن عمران كذب من زعمه أنه يحبني فإذا جن الليل نام عني يكلم أنه يحبني ولكن when the night comes he sleeps then he says أليس كل محبن يحبه يحب خلوة حبيبة wouldn't every lover would like to be alone with his beloved isn't it a time that every lover seeks to be alone with his beloved my lovers the lord says those who loves me love me it's during the middle of the night when they can come and tell me and ask me that is the best night that's the best time when I will also answer them we will come back after this verse خذ بالجريرة يا من لم يهتك الست يا عظيمة العاف يا حسنا التجاون يا واسع الموفراء يا باصطال يديني بالوحما يا صاحبا كل نجوام يا منتهاء كل شكوا سبحانك يا لا خلصنا من النار يا ذا النعمة السابقة يا ذا الرحمة الواسعة يا ذا المنته السابقة يا ذا الحكمة الباء يا ذا القدرة الكاملة يا ذا الحجة القاطعة يا ذا الكرامة الظاهرة يا ذا العزة الدى يا ذا القوة المتينة يا ذا العظمة المني سبحانك يا لا خلصنا من النار يا بديعة السماوى يا جعلا رحما العبراء يا مقيلا العثراء يا محياء يا مضعفا الحسناء يا محيا السياء يا شديدا النقماء سبحانك خلصنا في التابعة في دعاء جوشن الكبير سنقوم بذكرة قدرة 22 23 و 24 الشغم for segment 22 هو إتفاق و جوش كما يترك ياما أظهر الجميل ياما سطرة القبيح و ياما لم يؤخب الجريرة يا أخذ بالجريرة وياما لم يهتك الستر يا عظيم العف يا حسن التجاوز يا واسع المخفرة يا باصطا اليدين بالرحمة يا صاحبة كل نجواء ويام انتهى كل شكواء سبحانك يا إله لا إله إلا أنت الغوث الغوث خلصنا من النار يا رب كما يقوله اوه who reveals virtue he who conceals vice he who does not call to severe account for sins he who does not disclose the discrase of his servants he who is the best of forgivers he who overlooks he whose forgiveness extend over all he whose hands are stretched forth and mercy he who knows all secrets he to whom all complaints are directed the beautiful phrase يا من اظهر الجميل وسطر القبيع though who reveals virtue and conceals the vice one of the beautiful attributes of the almighty despite that he knows everything he has seen our wrongdoing and our sins but he reveals the virtue and he conceals the vice our mistakes our sins that we constantly repeat and incur they are all kept hidden but when we do good thing god would reveal that will make it known to people امير المؤمنين عليه السلام in the beautiful phrase of dua كميل he says this how many beautiful traits and features that i don't deserve that i never earned them by myself but you have dispersed them about me in the community people have associated me with those wonderful things or concealing the bad things الامام المهدي عليه السلام in dua الافتتاح the elegant dua that we recite every night in the holy month of ramadan he says you conceal you take care of the wrongdoing while you disperse you make it known the good things when we do good things god would reveal it the attribute of god is the revealer of the virtue while concealer of the vice this is how god want us to emulate him that we reveal the virtue of others while we should conceal the vice of others why for the sake of society the almighty wants that we live in a safe and a tranquil community community will not have its security of people's reputation and your people's stance are ruined when people's reputations are ruined their security is also ruined when there is no sanctity to the society to the community so anything that jeopardizes people's reputation people's stance or on and islam makes it forbidden for example such as keeping people under surveillance and spying or backbiting or following and see what people do in order to catch their mistake and then reveal it as the almighty الله سبحانه وتعالى says our emotion is also sanctified our feelings is also sanctified therefore god doesn't want even the feeling of people to be hurt by backbiting by getting spied on so later on they will be blackmailed or their vice is revealed god would want those things to be concealed he in fact warns against someone who reveals the mistakes and the vice of the believers of the good people in the community he says they will receive their punishment those people who stalk people to hunt people to catch their mistakes and then reveal their mistake so vice can be dispersed in the community god would punish them will punish them in this life before the hereafter the prophet peace be upon him on the day of arafa he calls upon people and warn them and says oh people do not seek to find the stumbles the lapses and errors of your fellow and your brothers do not do this because if you do this the almighty the almighty will chase you out to reveal your bad secrets your vices that you do in in in in in private moment in a private conditions god will reveal those and someone that god would reveal he will not have any reputation anymore any good stance in the society in another narration by عبد الى الكفر the closest thing that somebody becomes to being a kafir is that person that he bring brothers of him فيحصي عليه زلاته ليعيره بها يوم الله he becomes a friend of people he be friends of people not for the sake of a friendship rather to catch their mistakes and then reveal them later on this person is considered to be a kafir even if he by tongue says the shahadatein says that there is no god but the almighty and there is no prophet and the prophet is the messenger of الله yet this person is considered to be kafir why because god wants us to be good with each other he wants to have a tranquil and peaceful society and then the prophet peace be upon him says whoever conceals the mistakes of his brethren god will conceal his lapses his mistakes in both places in this life your mistakes will be concealed and in the hereafter your mistakes also will be concealed as the hadith says if he conceals our sins in this life will for sure he will conceal our mistakes in the hereafter if in this life that's so cheap so worthless worthless god conceals our mistakes he will also conceal our mistake in the hereafter segment number 23 where the theme is to get more beneficence it says the translation the master of the countless blessings ونرى بكل حلقة ألوات وجوده أو أخوة أسراء إفعال أخوة إبعال كل أهداف أخوة فرائعة أخوة أسراء أخوة أسراء الأردمات أخوة أسراء أخوة اكبر ماستر of a perpetual prestige ماستر of a great strength ماستر of unsurpassable glory The words ياذ القدرة الكاملة ياذ الرحمة الواسعة وياذ المنة السابقة The mercy of Allah سبحانه وتعالى ياذ النعمة السابقة ياذ الرحمة الواسعة The mercy of the Almighty And the blessing of Almighty is surpassing is complete and sufficient He doesn't give only one blessing and leave us in search of another If He give us eyes and stomachs and hearings He also give us the means to fulfill these needs He will fulfill our stomachs He will help us to gain the needs and to gain the requirements for our needs His blessings is always surpassing our needs He doesn't leave us in search of other needs When He endow people with His blessings He makes sure that the blessing is complete and sufficient When again, when He creates a stomach He brings edible food that we fill our stomach When He creates the sensitive body He also makes sure that there is shelter and there is a dress that we can protect ourselves with Then the segment number 24 To receive God's Iblis يا رحم العبرات It says One of the beautiful things One of the beautiful attributes of the Almighty Is that He is merciful to those who weep One of the most potent strategies That the servants use in order to secure the forgiveness And the blessings of Allah is our humility And subordination And weeping in the middle of the prayers The minutes that you weep God will forgive those tears Why? Because weeping doesn't come spontaneously Rather it comes when the heart is broken When we reckon our mistakes When we recognize what kind of wrongdoing we have committed And when we feel the pain When we have remorse When we feel that there is no way out But returning to Him When the heart breaks, tears come down Therefore, you see the forgiveness of God Is available at the minute that tears come down When we are in our humility When we are in our subordination Why would Allah SWT bless us Or bestow His mercy on us When we are humiliated Does He have a vested interest To see us humiliated? No But the path of mercy Goes through tears and humiliation In the same way as the path of healing And a curement of a chronically ill person Goes through the harsh course of a treatment That he follows, the doctor that he prescribes to him The doctor doesn't have a vested interest To see the patient suffering He doesn't want to give harsh treatment For the patient, for the sake of its harshness He wouldn't be pleased to see the patient In pain when he takes the treatment But in order for the patient to be healed He has to take this harsh treatment To take the very difficult course of treatment In the same way To clench into the forgiveness of Allah SWT And his remission We have to show our subordination And our humility And this is done when our tears come down When we feel that we are humiliated In the front of the Lord May Allah SWT guide us And bestow His blessing upon us That we have more of a broken heart So we return to Him والسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركات I wonder at the miser Who is speeding towards the very destitution From which he wants to run away And misses the very ease of life Which he quits Consequently He passes his life in this world like the destitute But we'll have to render an account In the next world like the rich I wonder at the proud man Who was just a drop of semen the other day And will turn into a corpse tomorrow I wonder at the man who doubts Allah Although he sees his creations I wonder at him who has forgotten death Although he sees people dying I wonder at him who denies the second life Although he has seen the first life I wonder at him who inhabits this transient abode But ignores the everlasting abode
