 وأقول في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكاريم المنزل وأقول قال الله جل جلاله والمصطف الهدي ولا أتأواله الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على عبد الله ورسوله نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته أردنا مرحبا لك في هذه السلسلة خلال رب العالمين من الله وقال ربكم ودعوني أستجب لكم ومخلق على قولي وأخبركم هناك شيء في دعاة وعندما أردنا بشكل جداً إذا كنتم أردنا بحيث أننا نردنا دعاة تقريباً في رمضان عندما تردنا دعاة في وطرات وراء نرى الكثير من الوقت أن نرى الكثير من المشاركات التي يجعلها الناس ونرى كيف يجعلنا أفضل من المشاركات. الكثير من المشاركات. هناك شيء that we that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم تخفض and the people generally speaking it was something discouraged and that is to make the request have rhyming and to kind of form something they call it a seja like a rhyme and a sort of a deliberately structure your dua like that and if that is done deliberately and a person is kind of dressing up their words to make sure that each word rhymes with the other one then this is something which is not from the sunnah of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم if naturally a person is making dua and it happens to be that their dua has a rhyme to it or a flow to it or a rhythm to it then that is something which is not harmful if it's not done deliberately but there's sometimes an effort to be very very eloquent in the dua and to make the dua more like you know like like poetry more than a more than pleading to Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم so it's really important that we bear in mind this issue of humility and submission before Allah and we make our dua humble and sincere and not that we dress up our dua with kind of very eloquent words and clever rhymes and you know an interesting rhythm in the dua in order to make it sound really sort of eloquent that goes against the concept of pleading and that's why Imam Al-Bukhari in his صحيح رحم الله تعالى he said in Kitab al-Dawah in the book the book of dua in which he dealt with the different dua باب ما يكره من السجع في الدع the chapter of what has come regarding the dislike or the prohibition of a saja of rhyming and making that rhyme and rhythm in the dua then he mentioned his chain of narration to Ikrima from Ibn Abbas رضي الله عنهما that he said فانظر السجع من الدع فجتنبه فإني عدت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وأصحابه لا يفعلون إلا ذلك يعني لا يفعلون إلا ذلك لجتناب he said and this is the end of the the hadith that he quoted be careful of this kind of rhyming in your dua keep away from it for I was with or I lived at the time of the messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم and his companions and I found that they were not doing except this I they were not doing anything except keeping away from they were keeping away from this and that is when we say sort of like forming lines like you would form poetry so that it has a particular rhythm and a particular rhyme and a particular flow and that as we said goes against the concept of humility and submissiveness when making دعاءة to Allah سبحانه وتعالى if it happens naturally that's different but it's not a competition in your linguistic skill it's a matter of pleading before before الله سبحانه وتعالى so a person is not is not forming their دعاءة in the way of poetry and rhyme and rhythm but a person is asking and pleading with Allah سبحانه وتعالى and the reason I particularly mentioned the issue of Ramadan is that the winter the دعاءة in winter in Ramadan very sadly for many people has become almost like a competition in eloquence and we see the many of that إمه in the massage going away from the دعاءة that the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and away from the sunnah and instead bringing things that no one else has brought and then forming it into rhyme and poetry and rhythm and so on to make it sound really sort of eloquent and when you go back you feel that سبحانه وتعالى if they were to stick to the sunnah of the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and they were to stick to the دعاءة that the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم made it would have been better for them it would have been better for them because this kind of forming of these you know hugely eloquent rhyming sentences that have flow and rhythm it takes away from الإخلاص أنا الخشور أنا الافتقار away from sincerity away from concentration away from presenting yourself as being poor and needy before الله عز و جل now if you imagine I'm just going to give you an example ولي الله المثال العالى to Allah belongs to Allah belongs the best example but if I just give you an example of a person who goes before a king and wants to beg the king to you know to spare them or to beg the king to support them in something and they go and then they stand there and they you know they they present this you know sort of long flowing rhyme with clever words in it and clever word play in it the person's going to say the king will turn around say are you are you serious you know you came here to you know show off your linguistic skills or you came here to you know to ask me for something and a person starts rhyming words and making clever rhythms and I'm flowing making the sentence flow and then this word flows with this word and it doesn't sound like the person is genuinely serious and pleading but if a person naturally is eloquent in their speech and when they plead with Allah it has a natural eloquence to it then they شاء الله تعالى there is no harm in that بإذن الله تعالى شاء الله there is no harm if it is something natural that a person has a natural eloquence in their speech and naturally their words flow very nicely but for a person to be concentrating more on the flow of their words and less on the content this is what is meant by the السجع المذموم the blame worthy kind of rhyming that people do in their دعاء الحافظ بن حجر رحم الله تعالى said explaining the حديثة بن عباس that we spoke about he said he said this is not contradicted by what has been found in the authentic أحاديث i.e you know a certain degree of eloquence in دعاء in the أحاديث which are authentic from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم وسلم لأن ذلك كان يصطر من غير قصة إلي because that used to happen without the Prophet so I simply deliberately sort of concentrating upon forming that وفي أجلي هذا يجيء في غاية الإنسجام كقوله صلى الله عليه وسلم في الجهد الله من منزل الكتاب سريع الحساب حازم الأحزاب he said that's why sometimes you find a حاديث which contain دعاء from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم that contain this kind of eloquence that just comes naturally like when the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said الله من منزل الكتاب سريع الحساب حازم الأحزاب oh Allah the one who sent down the book who is swift to take account who destroyed the confederates or destroyed the أحزاب or defeated the أحزاب here you can see how it rhymes and how it flows منزل الكتاب سريع الحساب حازم الأحزاب but it's not deliberate it's not something where it the aim is to show your eloquence and to show how you can find words that all rhyme with each other and all flow with each other it just came naturally in that sentence that's one example that حافظ بن حجر رحم الله تعالى mention another example that حافظ بن حجر mention رحمه الله تعالى was the dua on الصفة and المروة صدق وعدة وعز جندا the حديث or the حديث صدق وعدة ونصر عبد وهزم الأحزاب وحدة you find this kind of rhyme and flow within some of the duas of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم but it's not done in a way that is deliberately trying to that's not the goal behind it it just it sometimes just comes out like that or like the حديث that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم when he made dua and he said أعوذه بك من عين الله تدمع ونفس الله تشبع وقلب الله يخشى the حديث ودعاين لا يسمع and so on this is the intention here is not to rhyme and it's the intention here is not to show eloquence in the language but it just comes it just comes naturally so that like الحافظ بن حجر he said وكلها صحيحة all of that is authentic from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم but what's blame worthy is when a person intends to do that they're like deliberately trying to form their duas in such a way that they that they have this kind of rhyme and eloquence and and flow another thing that a person should avoid when making دعاء is اللحن and that is to make errors in the language to make mistakes grammatical mistakes mistakes in the way the sentences are formed mistakes in the way that the words are read or the ends of the words particularly when that لحن when those errors could even change the meaning they could they could potentially change the meaning of what a person says أبو عثمان أمازيني said to some of his students رحم الله تعالى he said عليك بن نحر he said that you must study grammar فإن بني إسرائيل كافرت بحارف ثقيل خففوا سبحان الله he said بني إسرائيل disbelieved because of a letter that should have been doubled and they made it a single letter and then he explains what they mean and he said قال الله عز وجل العيسة إني ولدتك فقالوا إني ولدتك فكفروا they changed the word by one letter one doubling of a letter until they said that they said when they changed the letter what they brought is that I gave birth to you I was your father and that's not what الله عز وجل said so they disbelieved because of a single letter that was changed a single letter that became that should have been a double letter that became a single letter so this is something that is worth a person giving great attention to to make sure that when they're making دعاء they're making دعاء in the way that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم did to the best of to the best of their ability and that's why شيخه الإسلام ابنه تيمية رحمه الله تعالى spoke about a man who made a دعاء and he made grammatical errors in it and a man said الله will not accept a دعاء which has grammatical errors so ابنه تيمية رحمه الله تعالى he responded من قال هذا القول فهو آثم وخالف للكتاب والسنة ولمكان عليه السلف he said whoever says this that الله will never accept a دعاء that has a grammatical mistake this person is sinful they've gone against the Quran and the Sunnah and what the early generations were upon أما من دعاء الله مخلصا له الدين بدعاء انجائز سمعه الله وأجاب دعاءه سواء كان معربا أو ملحونا he said whoever makes دعاء to Allah sincerely with a دعاء that is permissible الله hears that دعاء and Allah will answer that دعاء whether it is grammatically correct or whether it has some grammatical mistakes in it والكلام المذكور لا أصل له and what the person said when they said الله will never answer a دعاء that has a grammatical mistake it has no basis to it بل ينبغ للدعاء إذا لم تكن عادته الإعراب أن لا يتكلف الإعراب he said but it's befitting for a person if they're not used to Arabic grammar then they should not try they should not be harming themselves and burdening themselves by trying to get this by trying to get this grammar perfect قال بعض السلف some of the early generations they said إذا جاء الإعراب ذهب الخشور if a person is trying too hard to get the grammar right their خشور will go because every word they're stopping anything should be فتحة هي ضمه هي أو صون وهذا كما يكره تكلفوا السجع في الدعاء so just like it is disliked to have rhyming and rhythm in the دعاء to make a big effort on that then it's also disliked for a person to make such a big effort for every sort of last part of their فتحة and كسرة and ضمه to get it right فإذا وقع بغير تكلف فلا بأس به but if a person is able to do that without burning themselves then there is no harm in that فإن أصل الدعاء من القلب والليسان تابعون القلب and the core of the دعاء their origin of the دعاء is the heart and the tongue is merely expressing and following what is in the heart so how do we join between these two statements we say it's very important that a person makes their best effort especially in what changes the meaning and while we don't require everyone who makes دعاء to be an expert in Arabic grammar it is really important that a person tries their very best and a person doesn't say something which would change the meaning of the sentence like was given in the example of any Israel at the same time expecting perfection in grammar especially when it takes a person away from their خشور and concentration that's also not something that is required from you that you should be for example an expert in Arabic grammar or a scholar of Arabic grammar before you can make دعاء rather that would exclude the majority of Muslims from being able to make دعاء but a person does their best they try not to say something that would change the meaning and they try not to allow themselves to become so focused on some element of language like eloquence or rhyming or grammar that they end up losing the heart from the دعاء there are now a couple of things that I would like to sort of conclude our discussion on etiquettes of دعاء with and this relates to who you make دعاء for in your دعاء and one of them one of the greatest things that you can do is to make دعاء for other Muslims when you're making دعاء for yourself and that has an evidence in the Quran it has an evidence in the sunnah of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم as for the Quran the statement of الله عز وجل والذين جاءوا من بعدهم يقولون ربنا اغفر لنا ولي اخواننا الذين سبقون بالإيمان those who came after them they say Our Lord forgive us and forgive our brothers who preceded us in إيمان ولا تجعل في قلوبنا غلل للذين آمن ربنا إنك رأوف رحيم this is in Surat Al-Hashr ayah number 10 notice how they make دعاء for themselves and they make دعاء for they make دعاء for themselves and they make دعاء for their brothers and that is from the etiquettes that shows sincerity it's from the things that comes back to you with good because of the angel that said and for you is the same and it's from the things which builds a sense of brotherhood in Islam and from the etiquettes of the Sunnah both we find this in the Qur'an and also in the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ in a hadith which is narrated by عبادة ابن الصامت رضي الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ما يستغفر للمؤمنين والمؤمنات كتب الله له بكل مؤمن ومؤمنات إن حسنة whoever asks الله's forgiveness for the believing men and the believing women الله will write for every believing man and woman that and that covers every one of them he will write a reward he will write a reward for for that person so سبحان الله there's so much reward to be had in making دعاء for your brothers the angel who says may you have the same the reward for everyone that your دعاء touches and you're asking الله to forgive the Muslims for every Muslim that that دعاء covers you receive a reward for it so there is a lot of reward in making دعاء for your brothers in Islam it's also very very very important to make دعاء for your parents and we know we find this in many places in the Quran such as the statement of Allah عز وجل وقضى ربك أن لا تعبدوا إلا إياه وبالوالي ديني حسانة إما يبلغن عندك الكبرة أحدهما أو كلاهما فلا تقل لهم أف ولا تنهرهما وقل لهم قولا كريمة وخفض لهم جناح الظل من الرحمة وقل رب رحمهما كما رب يعني صغيرة صورة الإسراء بين آية number 23 to آية number 24 and particularly the part of the آية in which Allah عز وجل says that say to them a generous or say to them a kind word and lower to them the wing of mercy of and lower to them the wing of humility and mercy and say my lord have mercy on them as they raised me when I was small likewise the dua of نوح عليه السلام رب يغفل لي ولي واليدية ولي من دخل بيتيا مؤمنة ولي مؤمنين والمؤمنات or Allah forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house as a believer and the believing men and the believing and the believing women and that gathers together all of those points that we mentioned about people you make dua for and there's no doubt that when you make that effort for those who have that great right upon you your parents and you make that effort for the believing men and the believing women and you make that effort to mention your brothers in their absence there's a great deal of good and a great deal of baraka that comes back to you because of that it's also worth adding that from those that you should take time to make dua for are those in authority and it's said that this is the difference between أهل السنة and others is that if you see a person who is making dua for the one in authority nor this person is from أهل السنة and if you see a person making dua against the one in authority then know this is from the these are from the people of innovation as it has been said and this can be taken from the حديث صحي مسلم from the حديث of تميب نيأوس in الداري رضي الله عن that the message of الله صلى الله عليه وسلم said الدين والنصيحة this religion is acting sincerely قالوا لمن يا رسول الله they said to whom the message of الله قال لي الله ولي كتابه ولي رسوله ولي أئمة المسلمين وعمتهم to Allah to his book to his messenger to the leaders of the Muslims and the general and the general people likewise in the حديث أبه رضي الله عن صحي مسلم إن الله يارضى لكم ثلاثة أنت عبدوه ولا تشركو به شيئة وأنت عتاصم بحبل الله جميعا ولا تفرقو وأنتنا صحو منول الله أمركم الله is pleased for you to do three things that you worship الله and don't make any partner with him that you hold on to the rope of Allah together and do not be divided and that you offer sincere advice or that you act sincerely toward those that Allah has placed in authority over you so one of the ways that this can be shown is by making dua for them and that doesn't matter if they are righteous or not righteous it doesn't matter if they are bringing a great deal of good for the Muslims or even if they are placing obstacles because ultimately by making dua for them if Allah brings righteousness to them and guidance to them then that righteousness إن شاء الله تعالى will spread out to many many other Muslims who are under their authority so a person should take time out to make dua for those in authority over them to ask Allah إزا و جل to guide them to ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى to inspire them to fulfill their obligations properly and so on and a person can find many examples of that within the كلام of the Salaf رحمه الله تعالى within the statements of the early generations may Allah إزا و جل have mercy on them all that brings us to the end of what I wanted to mention regarding many of the etiquettes of dua there still remain some etiquettes that we need to speak about إن شاء الله وتعالى but what we will do is we'll take those within the examples that we're going to give so the next stage of the course إن شاء الله وتعالى is to look at some of the comprehensive دعاء that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to make and to explain some of them and to look at the benefits that we can extract from them and that's coming up in the next episode إن شاء الله وتعالى and Allah إزا و جل knows best والصلاة والسلام على نبينا محمد وعلى آلية و صحبه أجمعه السلام عليكم
