بيته طيبين الطاهرين المعسومين ولعل الله ولا ظالمين من الأولين والآخرين أما بعد قال إمام الحج عليه السلام الحمد لله مالك الملك مجر الفولك مسخر الزياح فالك الأسباح ديان الدين رب العالمين سلوات مستفى الأجمام الزمانة سلام عليكم جميعا ورحمة الله وبركاته المنزل في دعاء افتتاح الذي يأتي لنا من المساعدة إمام الحج عجل الله وفرج الشريف قال الحمد لله مالك الملك مجر الفولك مسخر الزياح فالك الأسباح ديان الدين رب العالمين ترانزليشن is as such الحمد لله المالك الملك all praise belongs to Allah for he is the owner of the kingdom مجر الفولك and he sets in the courses that which goes forth that which floats that which goes forth in ships مسخر الزياح فالك الأسباح ديان الدين رب العالمين he is the one who sets the direction of the winds he is the one who opens the daybreak he is the one who administers the authority he is lord of the worlds and we praise him for all of these particular actions or qualities therein our discussion tonight we will take a slightly different tangent as to how we have taken them on the previous nights as many of us have been attending the day sessions we have been looking at the construct pondering upon the Holy Quran we have taken the concept as to why pondering upon the Holy Quran is so important or indeed pondering upon anything and then also we have been taking the ideas that before we can ponder there needs to be certain background knowledge, sciences that are within ourselves in order that we may build upon them the analogy that we have been giving over the days is that just like here in this very Imam Barghat there needs to be a very strong foundation and when you have a strong foundation you can build upon it similarly before we ponder upon the Holy Quran there are certain requisites that we need and then once we practice this pondering will become second nature to us because it is the principle of our normal daily recitation be it Quran or indeed Da'a and thus we also want to extend this concept of pondering not just the Quran but to Da'a itself because what we have been doing is we have been pondering upon the Holy Quran we have been pondering upon this Da'a after Da'a within these sessions we have been asking pertinent questions what is the root word of such and such a thing how is it been applicable how does it manifest itself on a personal level how does it manifest itself on a social level how does the Imam understand it from his perspective what does Allah to understand it from his perspective and so on and so forth these are the questions and the constructs as to how pondering takes place and you and I now Insha'Allah this evening we want to become more granular what do we mean granular we mean that we want to go into the very fundamental questions and therefore we want to apply these questions to this particular section of Da'a if it are what we will do Insha'Allah time permitting is that we will look at the verse or these sections of the Da'a from a face value perspective and we will really delve into the level of understanding what Imam is trying to state when he says take the lessons from the very literal meaning of it however having understood the literal meaning when you and I ponder what are the different questions we can pose to such a statement within the Da'a and thereby what can we extract from the different meanings of it in the idea that we can learn how to ponder ourselves we want this to become second nature learn how to apply various questions be it to Quran be it to Da'a be it to any Ahadith that we come across in our lives and we have various questions in order to extract various levels of meanings so the line at hand الحمد لله all praise belongs to Allah why? because he is the owner of the kingdom now when you and I ponder upon anything especially when it comes to the Holy Ahlul Bayt peace be upon them all we are talking about a group of individuals that their body their mind their heart is entirely mixed with the Holy Quran meaning when they speak when they think when they act it is entirely based upon the words the commandments the lessons the messages from the Holy Quran hence when I look at any tradition if I look at any of the Ahadith from any of the Ahlul Bayt peace be upon them or I look at any line from any Da'a in order for me to understand how they are explaining this particular verse how they interpret and mean this particular verse because they are the light of the Quran I must go back to Quran to see where this particular word is mentioned in order to understand how they mean it that means anytime I see a verse anytime I see a line anytime I see anything from them they are speaking through the Quran the commander of the faithful has this famous line when he talks about Ahlul Bayt in particular himself that they are Quran and Nataq they are the speaking Quran in the Quran technically is silent it is the letters the words of Allah but it is Ahlul Bayt peace be upon them who make these words come alive hence if I want to understand anything from Da'a I need to check where this word is mentioned within Quran and this way I will firstly be able to exhibit and understand how the Imams wanted us to understand this word الحمد لله المالك الملك where do we find this within the whole Quran as an example we find within Surat Al Imran a very famous verse Allah SWT says He is the owner of all and He gives this kingdom to whom He wishes and He takes this kingdom from whom He wishes قول المالك الملك تؤت الملك He is the one who owns all of this kingdom everything in existence belongs to Him by virtue it is His right to give to whom He wills and once He is given it is His right to take this back from whosoever He wills hence when we read this first line of this Da'a المالك الملك مجر الفول I am obliged to see through the Quranic context this is the first thing I do when I ponder having then seen that the concept of this kingdom is described by Allah as the one who gives to whom He wills and takes back from whom He wills I now need to understand what this particular sentence means in order for me to apply it to Da'a iftitah الحمد لله المالك الملك this is the way pondering works this is the stage by stage process one I need to see where the word is found within the Holy Quran I reconcile it with Quran two having found it from Quran I need to understand what Quran is saying about that word Quran says He is Malik الملك He gives to whom He wills now He takes from whom He wills what does this mean that He gives and He takes and where else in Quran do we understand this particular sentence we find that when it comes to our own lives when we just reflect for a few minutes whether you are 18 whether you are 30 whether you are 60 or 70 years old within this crowd we have all been through our own personal trials and tribulations we have all been given by Allah تعالى what can we be given and what can be taken back by Him if He is the owner what can He give to me He can give to me wealth all the wealth in this universe is technically owned by Him hence when we talk about Zakat and when we talk about Khums and when we talk about Sadaqa we are purifying our wealth but whom does it belong to it really belongs to Allah تعالى when I have earned 1000 pounds at the end of the year and I have the responsibility of paying 20% Khums upon it really I am paying Allah's money back into the system which He has ordained it's not really my money He has loaned it to me so that I may do good by that particular money He gives and He can take He may also give to me good health in the same time He may take away that very same health that He has given to me He may give to me business at the same time He may decide to take away business from me He may give to me family and indeed we have seen many of our own friends and family who have lost so many of their family members He gives and He takes away at the very same time by virtue of realization we realize that Allah تعالى is the one who is in complete control I don't have a say in these matters but as soon as the wealth comes and indeed how quickly wealth can leave me as well and as such Allah SWT has an outstanding psychological verse in the Holy Quran whereby He wants us to realize how we must react in any given situation when He gives and when He takes because we experience both hence we need to realize how we react when we are going through these trials and tribulations many of our friends have gone through these trials and tribulations we need to become aware as to how best to react in these circumstances also how to advise other friends and friends and friends and friends and friends and friends and friends also how to advise others how to react within these circumstances we find سوت الحديد has a very famous insight after the door fell upon her Eminence Lady فاطمة الزحرى صلى الله عليه وسلم she is lying on her deathbed and she is lying upon her deathbed the commander of the faithful comes to sit beside her you can imagine what it must be like as a husband now having to try to see your dear wife and not just any wife this grand lady of humanity the leader of all women of all nations in all times lying in such pain devastated by the tragedy that befalls her but her being a woman having such love within her heart her mind is going towards the commander of the faithful her mind is what will the commander of the faithful be feeling like and as such our حديث tell us that just before she passes away from this world she gives some advice يا علي when I pass away from this world you will be devastated you will be hurt a heart will be in such pain by what has happened I advise you to read سوت الحديد why? because in here these verses are verses of psychology they have verses that are there to give you the emotional balance that you need again hence many of us go through these trials and tribulations constantly within our lives we have our friends and family in our lives we give them many pieces of advice do we tell them to read from سوت الحديد and say to them there are secrets of how to respond to trials and tribulations within the Quran these are the things that we should first and foremost be applying Ladies and gentlemen if we knew that there are verses of psychology within the Quran we would have known better than all of us where the verses of سوت الحديد would have been giving him such strength from within hence not only was she giving advice to him she was giving advice to you and I when you and I go through these trials and tribulations let us read these verses as well in these verses itself in these verses it says there is no evil there is no evil that befalls the earth or in your own souls except that it's already been written in a book but Allah makes it manifest and this is easy for him the subsequent verse says why? why is this scenario taking place that evil may be fall upon the earth and these are the trials that we are facing within the earth today trials in Syria trials in Afghanistan trials in Iraq Pakistan Yemen Egypt Mexico Bahrain Palestine the list goes on and on and on there is no evil that befalls upon the earth nor within your own souls but Allah seeks to make this manifest why? لكي لا تحسو على ما فاتكم so that you do not act in any manner of despondency وما تفره بما أعطاكم and that you do not act in a manner where you are overly joyed by whatever takes place on earth look at the balance that's being put when something occurs in your life when you are given when something is taken be it wealth, health, position or authority whatever it may be the reason why trials happen within the earth Allah تعالى wants to see how you react to these trials I do not want to see you becoming despondent nor do I want to see you becoming overjoyed in these what do these words despondent and overjoyed mean? لكي لا تحسو على ما فاتكم تحسو comes from the root word يأس يأس means despondency despondency means to act in such a way where you are so sad so despondent that you don't feel like you can carry on it's like me saying you know I'm going to stay in bed today I'm going to rack myself under the covers and I just don't want anything else to do with the world or that when I come across these trials I've given up I have no confidence, no hope in Allah that he will change my scenario for the better this is despondency this is when you have given up hope and you do not expect any good to come from your situation I had health, it went I had wealth, it went Allah تعالى says do not act in a state of despondency have balance within yourself the next side لكي لا تحسو على ما فاتكم ولا تفرحوا بما آتكم the word تفرحوا فراح فراح means to be overjoyed it means a type of joy where you lose your spirituality in Arabic there are two words that can be there for joy there is فراح and there is سرور for example in the دعاء that we recite here in شحر مضال we say اللهم أدخل على أهل القبورس سرور we are asking for a spiritual happiness a spiritual joy when we enter into the graves فراح sometimes in the Holy Quran can be used meaning joy based within دنيا when you are overjoyed and you lose the sense of control within yourself I am given wealth instead of looking after this wealth as has been obliged upon me I may become a spendthrift or I may show off by this wealth I may make someone else feel bad by this wealth it may make me feel to be superior over someone else because I have this wealth الله تعالى says have balance within yourself I have given you all of this so that you are balanced as a human being you do not become too disappointed and despondent when trial comes and when I give to you you do not become the type of person that is so overjoyed by it you lose your characteristic of goodness there is a tradition جابر أبن عبد الله الانساري was going through his own trials and tribulations giving you an example of the levels of trials that جابر was going through at his elder age جابر is narrated to have been the companion of the Holy Prophet of Islam who lived the longest he died approximately 3 years before the birth of our sixth Imam hence you can see from the time of the Prophet until just before the sixth Imam how long جابر lived hence he saw so much he saw time with the Prophet he saw after the Prophet the trials with زحراس الله عليها and the commander of the faithful he saw the trials from the second Imam he saw the trials on the third and the fourth Imam and indeed the fifth Imam he has seen witnessed and as a companion of أحل البيت participated in so much of their own trials to the extent that the أحديث tells us that at the end of time he had become blind one of the trials of life his eyesight was taken from him another trial the caliph of the time before he martyred and killed جابر burned his hands with iron some of the actual traditions say molten iron that the iron had been melted and he used this and poured this molten iron upon the hands of جابر عبن عبد الله عليها trials of the highest accord these is what the companions have been through for أحل البيت جابر was sitting he actually was in the presence of the fifth Imam as he was sitting he let out a huge sigh have you ever done that you know you come at the end of a long day of work oh it's been a long day I can't do this anymore it's too much he let out a sigh a very large sigh from himself fifth Imam looked at him and responded to him and said oh جابر why have you let out this sigh was it because dunya was affecting you or because of akhira why did you let out this sigh oh my Imam I have been through so much my body is aging my body is becoming weak I have lost my sight the enemies of أحل البيت are taking out their oppression upon me I am going through such trials and tribulations within this world fifth Imam wanted to teach him how to have balance with himself Allah will give you جابر and Allah will take Allah will give you and he will give you trials with it let me tell you how you need to think your mindset your look within this world how you assess the world psychologically oh جابر there are six things to this world only six to dunya there are only six things there is that which you eat that which you drink that which you smell that which you wear that which you ride there are six things and each of these things have their own trials and tribulations and each of these things have their own place of which they are coming from oh جابر as for that which you will drink the best drink that you can have is cold water and Allah has given that in abundance around the world why are you fretting over it oh جابر the very best thing that you can eat is honey from bees why are you so worried about that which you eat if it's only going to come from an insect like a bee oh جابر the best thing that you can wear is silk why are you so worried about the cost of your clothes if it comes from the backside of an animal oh جابر the very best thing that you can wear is a scent is musk and this comes from the blood of a deer why are you so worried about what expensive things you are going to wear if it comes from the blood of a deer oh جابر the very best thing that you can ride is a horse and eventually your horse will pass away from this world and you will have to get a new one why are you so concerned with this particular horse when it's only going to pass away and oh جابر the best thing that you can marry is a wife and indeed you as a partner will give you a wife trials and tribulations and your wife will give you trials and tribulations why are you so worried when it comes to this world look beyond be satisfied with what Allah has given you and don't allow yourself to be bogged down with the basis of this world pulling you here and there جابر responded and said from this day onwards my outlook changed within the whole world I was no longer concerned with this world my world remained on how much I could get for my Akhira it was all about the psychology it was all about his outlook and understanding how he would react to a certain situation hence we go back we realize that this conversation has taken place from when it mentioned about ملك and this has gone all the way back from when we talked about الحمد لله and here we see that this is how or how you and I when I ponder upon verses ponder upon أحديث we look within the Holy Quran and we see where this issue is mentioned then we see the associated verse and then we see how this verse describes the issue in its entirety Allah says his is the entire kingdom indeed it is He gives it to whom He wants and He takes from whom He wants by virtue of me realizing whom He takes it I realized that when He takes from me I need to be prepared as how I'm going to react when He takes from me this is one way we ponder this is one way we ponder but now let us review these verses again from دعاء افتطاه and let us see how else we can apply our mind our heart to these very same verses الحمد لله الملك الملك مجر الفلك مصخر الياح فالك الأسباح ديان الدين رب العالمين He is the one who is the owner of the kingdom and He sets forth everything in its spheres and He is the one who sets the direction of the winds how do we understand this we need to see these words again from Quran in order to see how we can understand why don't we take this time to understand this issue from the scientific why don't we take these very same verses and understand them through the scientific let me apply my scientific mind to this الحمد لله الملك الملك مجر الفلك what does the word فلك mean if we go to Quran we find the word فلك has been mentioned in Surat Al-Yasin a verse that you and I know very well وكل في فلك يسبحون all of this a sun in the moon they float on a sphere في فلك يسبحون فلك can mean literally to float upon a sphere but because it means something that moves in this direction when you take it away from the literal meaning yesterday there is the حقائق and there is the مجازي there is the literal and the metaphorical when you take فلك to the metaphorical it is translated in the English language as either being planets or ships so let us translate this الحمد لله الملك الملك مجر الفلك all praise belongs to Allah who is the owner of the kingdom he sets forth the direction the movements of the planets or he sets forth the direction the movements of the ships فلك يسبح and the direction of the winds it is a nice sequence here right when we have our ships of course today we probably have many of our motors and we are able to use the motors but at the time of revelation it will be reliant upon the movement of the winds in order to make the ships go forth hence when I see this I see my lord says he is the owner of the kingdom one two he is the one who sets forth the direction of the ships and he is the one who sets forth the direction of the winds now what if I was to look at this a little bit more scientifically what if I was to take the other meaning and say my lord you actually meant planets I understand there is a clear flow there is a sequence taking place ships are moved by winds I understand why you would put these two next to each other I understand why the Imam in Da'a would say all praise belongs to Allah who sets the ships in motions and he uses the winds to move the ships but if I was to change the word ships فلك to planets how would I ponder upon this verse scientifically now what would I say about this when I look at it scientifically in the 21st century with the scientific knowledge that we have gained I find indeed even in the atmospheres above even in the direction of space there is wind as well how do I know this we are termed with solar winds let us re-translate this الحمد لله المالك المرك اوبر ايضا ايضا لله المالك المرك all praise belongs to Allah owner of the entire kingdom مجري الفلك he is the one that moves all the planets فالك الاسباح and he makes the direction of the solar winds what are solar winds solar winds are particles from the sun that leave the gravity of the sun and are sent towards the earth by virtue of it hitting the earth we are able to see this change even within our atmosphere to the extended solar particles are that which make up the aurora borealis when I look at the northern or the southern lights and I see this beautiful movement of green and blue and orange within the sky I ask myself how does this take place the fact is in دعا افتتار 1400 years ago our Imam described aurora borealis الحمد لله المالك الملك he is the one who is the creator he is the owner of all of the kingdoms مجري الفلك and he is the one who sets all the directions the movement of all the planets فالك الاسباح and he says that he is the one who he is the one who sets forth all of these solar winds this is how you take from the scientific you begin to look at it in a completely different light and you begin to say indeed these truly are the words from an Imam what if I was to take it in another direction what if I was to say let me take it in the metaphorical what if I was to take another line and look at it in a completely different light فالك الاسباح what is فالك الاسباح من we translated and say that my lord is the one who opens up سبح so for example 630 فجر is 530 by the time it comes to 630 I already see that the sun has risen I can already see that he is فالك الاسباح I can see that he has opened all the day break when you look at it again through the grammar you see no it's quite different اسباح means not just one day break but many day breaks it's plural and he didn't say سباح he said اسباح فالك الاسباح meaning that Allah is making constantly all the day breaks around the world now where do I get this within Quran again Quran Quran Quran if I want to ponder I go back into Quran to see where this concept would be made first where do I find the concept of day break within Quran in fact there is an entire chapter named after day break سرطل فجر بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والفجر واليالين عشر والشفع والوطر والليلي إذا يصر هل في ذلك قصم لدي حجر I swear by the day break and I swear by the 10 nights and I swear by the even and by the odd indeed with these particular oaths there is a huge level of meaning for the one who understands what does it mean فجر does it only mean day break no it does not mean day break when we look at the أحديث it doesn't mean literally the day break day break is metaphorical it means the new dawn new dawn of what it means the new dawn of the periods within history and Allah SWT says well فجر I swear by the new dawn he means I swear by the new dawn of Islam and the revelation of Quran when he says well فجر in this time in which we live in he means I swear by the new dawn which dawn the coming of I swear by the new dawns I swear by the new dawns all these new scenarios new times in history are going to take place hence when you look at it Quranically you again glide back to the الحمد لله الملك الملك مجر الفرق فالك الإسباح all praise belongs to Allah the one who creates the new dawns within humanity we used to be in such a state of جاهلية our Holy Prophet of Islam came he caused the new dawn of humanity and in today's age we are living in such a state of جاهلية we look forward to the next dawn when the awaited saviour comes as well الحمد لله الملك الملك he is the owner of the kingdom مجر الفرق he is setting forth all the ships and he is setting forth the day break he is setting forth the comings of the new eras within this universe what if I was to change the thought process again what if I was to apply another question I can look at it literally I can look at it scientifically I can look at it metaphorically but now surely the Holy Prophet of Islam has a tradition where he says زي ينو مجال سكوم في ذكره علي يبن أبي قالب أدور your gatherings beautify your gatherings with the remembrance of the commander of the faithful now if that's a tradition of the Prophet imagine how much the 12th Imam would apply that to his words let us revisit this same line but let us see أهل البيت in this line because surely he must be saying something deep about أهل البيت too الحمد لله الملك الملك مجر الفرق مسخر الرياح فالك الإسباح ديان الدين رب العالمين what has this got to do with أهل البيت أهل البيت أهل البيت what has this got to do with أهل البيت it has everything to do with أهل البيت it has everything to do with أهل البيت all praise belongs to Allah who is the owner of the entire kingdom مجر الفرق as we said فلق means ships it means vessels which is the most famous vessel in أهل البيت they are the safina itself they are the vessel of security and sanctity for all of us the holy prophet of Islam has a tradition he says the similitude of my أهل البيت are like that of the safina of نور he who gets on to this safina of أهل البيت they are saved he who does not becomes drowned if I know the ship is really the ship of أهل البيت let me apply it to this verse الحمد لله الملك الملك مجر الفرق he is the one who sets forth the direction of these ships he is the one who sets forth the direction of أهل البيت فلق مجر الفرق مصخر الرياح he sets forth the winds which winds the winds that journey that take أهل البيت مصخر الرياح فالق الإسباع as we said when you coming of each era of each dawn the commander of the faithful in sermon number 99 says the similitude of أهل البيت are like the stars within the sky when one sets another one rises just this way we are saying that indeed that when you find that new dawns come one comes after another after another when the commander of the faithful is the new dawn when Imam Al-Hassan is marted Imam Al-Hussain is the new dawn when Imam Al-Hussain is marted Imam Zayn Al-A'bideen is the new dawn and indeed when Imam Hassan Al-Asqari is marted the new dawn is the Imam of our time this is how we ponder upon the Qur'an this is how we ponder upon the Qur'an and we try to take it in its directions we try to understand it for the depth the Imam imagine the layer upon layer layer upon layer of meaning that is within this dawn when I take the dawn the first thing I am obliged to do is look at it through Qur'an where is this verse found within Qur'an what do I know is the meaning of this verse where is this verse taking me in a direction and then I applied back to the dawn in one small sitting simple sitting we can look at these very same words and we can take it from the literal we can take it to the scientific we can take it to the metaphorical and we can take it to Ahl al-Bayt peace be upon them all this is how we want to inculcate amongst ourselves our family members our friends, our youth that we don't take these words lightly these are the words of our Imams they are the speaking Qur'an they are the ones who give to us the lessons that we can take there is no doubt that the greatest lessons that can be given to you and I come from the 10th of Muharram there is no doubt that when it comes to the tragedy of Aba Abdullah it is nothing short of an entire university within itself 10th of Muharram was the grandest saddest trial and tribulation to befall all of them and just as we read in this verse of Qur'an لكيلة ولا تفرحوا بما أعطاكم لرن how to balance yourself in reaction لرن how that you need to react when it comes to what you are faced with in this world there is no greater example of any human being who is in trial and tribulation better than Sayyida Zaynab صلى الله عليه وسلم her two magnificent sons own in Muhammad fighting the heat of the Iraqi desert is burning their tongues it is burning their throats they are calling out for just a cold glass of water as a mother they cannot give anything as an uncle they cannot give anything to these two young lions of Ahl al Bayt only Muhammad enter into the battlefield together as a partnership they come and they strike the enemy and submit many of them towards the hellfire but eventually they are separated as they are separated they are calling out towards each other are you okay are you still okay look at the braveness of these two they are soldiers they are not just concerned for themselves they are concerned for their brother in the end one is struck down he falls towards the floor he calls out towards about Abdullah صلى الله عليه وسلم oh my uncle please accept my final salutations about Abdullah runs towards own he comes towards own and he sees him lying bludgeoned upon the floor and he tells us that this brave lion of Allah says oh my dear uncle I am unaware of what has happened towards my brother leave me for a few minutes and go and find what has happened to my brother he goes towards the other brother Imam al-Hussain sits with him he also comes and says his final salutations towards his Imam he passes away from this world because ohm has also passed away from this world he returns back towards sayyid azaynab oh my dear sister I tell you what happened towards your two children where is sayyid azaynab found she is not found with the other women crying she is not found with the other women saying ohm peace and blessings be upon you sayyid azaynab is found in the tent performing شكر oh my lord thank you for giving me this opportunity to sacrifice in the way of of our Abdullah but then having returned back towards Medina for this final time having gone back towards the city of Medina she enters and she throws herself towards the grave of her grandfather oh my grandfather oh my grandfather did you see what took place did you see how they took the arms of my brother Abbas did you see how they thrusted a spear into the chest of Akbar oh my grandfather did you see the head of Hussein raised her eye upon the spear and then she comes back into her house for that first time and her husband is asking for news she is for this first time able to cry for her her two children she enters into that room where her two sons were going to be sitting where they were living where they were sleeping she comes and sees these two small she pulls them down and cries for the first time upon our own in Muhammad سيعلم الذين ظلموا أي من قلبين قلبون إن لله وإن إليه راجعون please raise your hands and join us in da'a we pray to Allah سبحانه وتعالى through the wasila of Sayyid Zaynab the hasten and the reappearance of the awaited saviour we ask you ya Allah allow us to be alongside him at all times in our life and in our death we ask you ya Allah if we are to pass away from this world to raise us from our grace that we may be alongside him to participate in his victory we ask you ya Allah through the wasila of Sayyid Zaynab that we are expecting in these next few days heavy battles to take place especially in the city of Halab ya Allah this is the land of Sayyid Zaynab in Ahl al-Bayt this is the land of trials and tribulations ya Allah as lovers of Ahl al-Bayt we have had so many opportunities we have had opportunities in peace and in calm to go and sit in the Halam of Sayyid Zaynab and Sayyid Al-Rqiya ya Allah we ask you to grant them safety and victory so that for the rest of our lives we can also return there in safety and security we ask you ya Allah there are many people around the world who have been through trials and tribulation and illnesses we ask you ya Allah for the opportunity to understand the love of Muhammad and peace be upon you and all of you and the mercy of Allah شهر الله شهر الله
