 Yes, many thanks for your time and your wonderful citations Sayyid Jalal Ma'asoolmi really really appreciate your time Now we're at the part the shows are aware. I think it's one of my favorite parts where we really take a deep dive into the da'as the supplications The ziyaras within the school of the Ahl al-Bayt that we can take lessons from and we kind of handpick ones that People don't really know much about Today on the contrary It's a it's a da'a that we've chosen that everyone knows about but because it's Friday We want to shed light on on some aspects of this da'a That perhaps can make you think oh, I didn't know and maybe Get some thoughts going regarding the the da'a. So Zahra myself and yourself Keep saying myself and yourself, but we are going to be welcoming Ibrahim Alansari on to the show Ibrahim Salam A'aykum. How's everything? You okay? Alhamdulillah by yourselves. Thank you. Sorry, I've got my mouth full of chocolate. So I'm not talking but I'm welcome It's your energy for the day Absolutely. Thank you so much for joining us once again. Thank you very much for having me once again. And so yeah as Ali is saying that we are hoping that you can shed some more deeper wisdom into the da'a al-Farj And yeah, what's your what's your actual thought of it and okay? So da'a al-Farj With with many of us we believe it to be a da'a for any day So usually The question I usually get asked from yourselves is when is this best to recite? Yeah now In fact, it was actually it's in the books when it's narrated. So for example Al-Kolayni narrates in Al-Kafi It is narrated in Kitab al-Isbaha and in another book, I believe which I cannot remember at the moment Where they narrate it from the mausomeen they don't actually specify which mausome it is And all of them they state from the infallibles we narrate this from the infallibles we narrate this from the From the imams and it comes in To be the da'a to be recited on the night of the 23rd of Ramadhan Which is Laylatul Qadr So it is best to recite it then then it carries on sorry you're not going on then it carries on to say however You could also recite it in any other night in Ramadhan So here I stopped for a second. I said well, we recite this every day. So where do we get this from? but then it carries on in Fact it adds in fact. It is also good to recite it for your whole life. Wow. It literally says this is So for your whole life Meaning every single day of your life to include this da'a Is amazing and has great benefits. Yeah, that's that's very interesting because we always know da'a al-Faraj as A da'a on a daily basis or for example after Salah Yeah Where I've never seen it's even in prayers. Yeah. Yeah, I'd never have thought that according to Al-Kafi or Kolanic according to the Kitab al-Spaah that actually the The origin of da'a al-Faraj was was supposed to be recited on the night till the 23rd of Ramadhan And then it goes on further to say actually, no, it's any other night in Ramadhan Actually, no, it's recommended to do it your whole life. Yes It's recommended to do every single day of your life And like you correctly said it was actually specifically for the night of Qadr Wow. Yeah, and we have no indication as to who which which one of the imams I didn't find personally I did not find Where which Imam it was because in in all of the books it states from the infallibles Or from the imams it narrates this However because of such issues And because of the whole senate issue a lot of people actually try to say that this da'a is very weak in terms of senate And that it should not be recited and there's a Scholar by the name of a Sayyid Ali ibn Musa ibn Tawus, I believe he says After talking about The amazingness of making da'as for your brothers and your sisters He said so if there is such amazing fadl if there's such amazing blessings from making da'a for your brothers and your sisters Then how about the fadl of making da'a for the imam of your time? he said therefore Throw away Anything that says there is no senate to this throw away anything that says that this da'a should not be recited Because if there's fadl of making normal da'a, so may Allah grant you health There's amazing fadl in that so how about making da'a for the imam of your time The one who you believe is the reason for your existence The one who you believe that it wasn't for him You wouldn't be who you are the one who you believe it if it wasn't for him The word of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala would not be On this world today Beautiful I'd like you to recite it. Yeah, I actually yeah, that was my question. Yes So if you can recite it and I'd love to find out more about the actual words itself Definitely Allahumma kulli waliyyika al-Hajjatee ibn al-Hasan Salwatuka alayhi wa ala aabai Fi ha'adihi sa'a wa fi kulli sa'a Waliyaan wa hafidha Wa qa'id'an wa n'asir'a Wa daliila'an wa'ina Hattatuskinahu arzaka ta'u'a Wa tumti'ahu fiha tawila Bi rahmatika ya arham ar-Rahmeen Wa sallallahu ma'ala seydina Muhammad Wa ala alihi al-taybeen al-tahireen Allahumma sallallahu ala Muhammad wa ala al-muhammad Hussent, Hussent Yeah, so can you shed light on actually what the meaning is behind this? Now before I actually go into the actual meaning People sometimes have some issues because it relates to the meaning People sometimes have issues. We're saying why are you making dua for the imam? Is he not sent by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala? He is he in need of your du'as And even in the person, the scholar I just mentioned, Ali said, Ali ibn Musa ibn Ta'awuz He says, and do not think that I am saying this because the imam is in need of your du'as Then he says, hey heart, hey heart, he will never be in need of this It is impossible for the imam to be in need of our du'as However, the issue is that we sometimes tend to forget That first of all the imam is a human just like we are Meaning he can get ill, he can be in some sort of Injury, he's a normal human being He lives his life the way we do And for example in Ziyara Jam'a which we went through last episode We said to show that the imams live their lives and are normal human beings just like we are And therefore to always make dua for the health of the imam is amazing Other than the whole fact of that dua to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Is making a closer connection to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala And in this case we're making a closer connection to Sahib al Zaman And we need to make this connection to Sahib al Zaman Because at the end of the day like the scholar mentioned He is the reason for our existence without him we would not exist So the the dua starts off by saying Oh Allah be for your representative the Hajj son of Al-Hasan Now here are two parts that I want to focus on First it says the Hajj Hajjah in the Arabic language and the way it is referring back to your Hajjah Hajjah of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Meaning that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is using Imam al-Mahdi As one of his signs as one of his proofs So sometimes we just say it as yeah he's the proof of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala But no that's a big thing The Quran is the proof of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala The miracles are proofs of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala And Imam al-Mahdi is the greatest proof of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Especially in the life that we're living in And then we know that it is specifically talking about Imam Mahdi Because the dua specifically says Ibn Al-Hasan the son of Al-Hasan So there's no sense of ambiguity here regarding the son of Hasan right It couldn't be it couldn't refer to any other son No no it is very specific Very specific to Imam al-Mahdi Of course following the guidelines of our scholars Then it says your blessings be upon him and his forefathers And sending blessings upon them Is something that were ordered by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to do When he said It's an order Salu is an order Send blessings upon them Then it says in this hour and in every hour I feel like this is a lesson to us as well In this hour and in every hour Because it is not just about us saying to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Always send blessings upon Imam al-Mahdi But we are also telling It's also the ma'sumin teaching us That we must always remember him in this hour and in every hour He must always be on our minds A guardian, a protector, a leader, a helper, a proof And an eye Sometimes we think an eye Seeming with an eye But it is the eye in terms of Hafod that we say Translate to protection Okay Yeah We it's the protection He oversees what what what what goes on On the day of judgment when when when we are when we are asked Or even even now today The Imam Is wary of our deeds Whatever good and whatever bad we do is presented to the Imam of our time And then it says until you make him live on the earth in obedience to you And cause him to live in it for a long time Ibedience Again Does the Imam need such a dua For us to say oh Allah allow him to be obedient to you No But once again That we create a a stronger bond with the Imam And in this specific section where we say make him be obedient to you Or make him raise in his taqwa Make him raise in his iman It is because Allah is limitless Meaning that no matter how obedient Imam al-Mahdi is He can get more obedient Even the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Who is of perfection Even he can get more obedient More iman More taqwa And everything this because only Allah is limitless Fantastic That's that's that's brilliant Actually it's very interesting to know because this dua is We read on a daily basis But we don't actually know the The kind of the true meanings behind it Even sometimes like I was Listening to a scholar who was saying that Allahumma kun li waliyyika Even that sometimes is pronounced wrong Yeah So people will say Allahumma kulli waliyyika But that's that's that's a total Wrong pronunciation So we have to actually make sure Allahumma kun li waliyyika And actually getting the translation for that It's quite interesting Oh Allah be for your representative the hojja So it's it's very interesting to know I want to recap Go ahead Some notes I think we've got there's got like two three minutes left Before we get to recap So we're asking for this connection But do you think that I remember seeing sort of like the benefits of reciting this Like you know Numerous Do you know any that are particular Prevalent to this dua Of who recited Of course there are many benefits to any dua that is recited Part of the benefits of making dua for Imam al-Hujja Is actually showing that you are being patient for his reappearance It is showing that you are in the state Of waiting for his reappearance And in fact Mentioning that note One of the best a'amal That a mu'min can do during the ghayba of Imam Sahib al-Zaman Is waiting for his reappearance But here there's a very important point When we say waiting for his reappearance Doesn't mean that we just say waiting and doing nothing But of course Part of it is being obedient to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala By being obedient You are showing that you are waiting For Sahib al-Zaman By constantly calling out Sahib al-Zaman shows that you are waiting for him And a very important thing giving Sadaqa In the name of Sahib al-Zaman Is also one of the best ways Of showing that you are waiting for his reappearance Beautiful, thank you so much I hope People have benefited just like we have I have personally 100% As you said we recite this And it can become something as like you know a repetitive Technique But you know to actually think about what we're reciting Do you want to quickly go over your recap? I guess it's just a couple of points Just for people to take away from Is that it's just that the The Colaini mentioned in the book of Al-Kafi And also in Kitab al-Asbah Is that this particular dua Was actually narrated by one of the infallibles And it's recommended Or it was initially recommended Or this person narrated that it's recommended To recite on the 23rd of Ramadan Which is the 8th It's the night Al-Qad But then it goes on to say no It's recommended to recite every day within Ramadan And then it goes no It's recommended to do your whole lifetime I think that's one thing That was quite interesting to know And also that There are certain words within The dua itself Like for example Wa'ayna Waqa'id and Wa'nasana So it's essentially saying that You know I guess send your blessings upon The Imam in this hour And every hour A Guardian, a Protector, a Leader, a Helper, a Proof And an Eye And this is the eye that for example is It's the connotations of the eye As being a Protector or a Guardian Overseeing the Imam at all times Overseeing the Imam at all times I think that was one of the main things That I guess people can take away from Brilliant, thank you so much But just two or three points Yeah, we're out of time, unfortunately Thank you so much Thank you so much Thank you very much Have a blessed day Thank you very much See you soon And off to the break We are having a break So don't go away unless you're making company But next I'll be speaking to Sister Barak Hussain in a specialist
