 As you know, we should always strive to do our part of our daily regime, part of our daily practice. I'm really enjoying these du'as. They're enlightening and they're nice to obviously discuss and have fun. Inspirational and learning so much. Absolutely. So again today we have brother Hele Jayzani. Thank you for joining us. Yeah, it was good to see you. It was a pleasure. I mean I love these, I honestly love these discussions about du'as and stuff like that because no one actually looks at it in a normal day to day and deep depth. I think it's nice to have your input because obviously as a reciter we are blessed to hear you but to hear some knowledge from you and to have some background it's really... I'm not scolding, I'm a reciter but I'm just giving the input that I feel, you know, how I feel when I recite these. And how I think it should, you know, I'm giving my opinion on how people should take their importance. And I'm sure that there are some that many people are getting benefit regardless of you being a scholar or not. It's your gift, it's your gift. No, it's a blessing. It's a blessing from Allah SWT. We have the main ad-i'a, du'a-kumay, du'a-tawassul, all these ones which we do regularly and it's beautiful. But these ones, these are short ones help, you know, it's every little help. That's why we need everything, everything small thing for Allah SWT to be happy with us. And I'm sure our viewers are enjoying it as much as we are learning and blessing. So today's du'a, which we will be talking about, it's one that is recited at sunrise and there's a mention of it being in the book of Wala Rabi from Muhammad al-Mustakin. Mustakin. And so do you want to just give us a bit of a brief background? So with this one, Ibn Tosa al-Mustahabbat al-Nafs from the book of Rabi, there's a narration where the sun, when it reaches the peak of the mountains, the prophet would cry and recite this special du'a, which is Allah, the day has come while my oppression has sought refuge in your forgiveness. And my sins have sought refuge in your pardon. My fear has sought refuge in your security and I've given everything towards you. If I'm scared Allah SWT, then I've given myself towards you. If I'm angry, oh Allah, then I've given it towards you. As we said earlier in a different episode, we said that anger, whenever you get angry, there's narrations to remember Allah SWT. So this is what it's full down to. So whenever you get angry, oh Allah, and then just soothe your pain. So you can better your akhlaq to other people. And you know, just ask Allah SWT for the simplest things. Oh Allah grant me well-being. Oh Allah grant me good health. Oh Allah, for your sake, give me patience. Are we asking or are we really begging and imploring? What's the spirit of this particular? Of course we're begging. We're all begging from Allah SWT. But begging and asking, the only difference between them is if you really want something, you beg for it. If you know how desperate you are, you beg, right? You beg. So we are begging because we are desperate from Allah SWT. Asking is, Allah says ask me. You know, there's different ways. Allah says ask me and I'll give you. Okay? But if you're begging to someone, you're showing the importance of that someone, of how bad you want it. Now Imam Aayah says, Ask me before you lose me. This is Amir al-Mu'minin. Ask me before you lose me. But when you go into what he means there, he means of the knowledge side of everything. So there's a difference. For Allah SWT, you want it so bad, you're going to beg him for your mercy. On your knees. It's interesting in this. I just wonder when the sun is rising and the daylight spreads, you know, the phenomenon between night and day is just, you know, sometimes you can look at the, you know, contrast and start contrast. At this point, the redness of the sun and he's crying, tears are flowing and he's speaking to Allah, being the greatest of creation in his humility to Allah and begging him. And you think, you know, from his position where we can say he could have the arrogance, he could have that, you know, security that I'm accepted, I'm the prophet. And so we're talking about needs and wants. I don't know if that's, you know, the context of what the prophet is. He's begging for security, his protection, Allah's protection. And I think even when, you know, in our context, are we always looking at wanting from God or should we be looking at Allah to say you are worthy of being praised, not just for our needs, which obviously we never ending list that we have. But it's just beautiful how he's actually in his position speaking to Allah. And if the prophet begs, who are we? Who are we? Exactly. I mean, the prophet, when he says, Oh Allah, help us with the punishment of your grave. Do you think Allah is going to receive any punishments? Yeah. But he's saying it for what reason? To show us. To teach us. To teach us what? To teach us. To teach us, I am a prophet, I am a falaba, I've never committed a sin. And I'm still scared of the punishment of the grave. So who are we? So how scared should we be? No more human beings who sin every single day. Adab al Qabr is not something easy. Wahshat al Qabr, when you're by yourself inside your Qabr and your grave. It's probably going to be the worst thing you've ever done. Your mom used to cry for us, didn't they? Exactly. Yeah. The judge used to cry for his shia. He used to cry for the people. Because we don't like being alone. Exactly. We're social beings. We don't like isolation. There's one way that you can make people distra- I mean, sometimes we like to our own space for a moment for reflection. But we don't want to be left alone. Exactly. We want to be abandoned. We like to be around people. You like someone coming to ask you, what's up? What's wrong? No, but at that time- Loneliness is a bad thing. In this country, I was reading there's a senior minister that's been appointed as the, I mean, it's inverted commons, Loneliness minister to reduce the loneliness in the UK because people, the way that society's going, it's just really horrendous. Loneliness can kill. Yeah. Loneliness can kill. I mean, there's a lot of research which has proved that loneliness is what leads to many, many, many illnesses. Depression, anxiety, all these things. And anxiety is one of the top killers right now. Do you think even when we talk about loneliness and you're saying that we have that time where we want to be alone and, you know, I think nature is something that gives you that sort of connection. And even when you're alone, but, you know, in our door, as we're taught, you're never alone. Allah is always with us. It's a very good point, of course. And that when we have the time, for instance, at Fajr, when it's all quiet and peaceful, to have that time in loneliness with Allah, that's a mercy and blessing. But I think in the other times, and the daytime when obviously life is getting hectic and we don't want to be alone in those moments. No, Allah's beauty opens your heart. Yeah. So when He says the peak of the, when the sun hits the peak of the mountain, I'll ask you, when is the most beautiful part of the day? It's Fajr. When you want, I live quite early for work. So I want to open the door and I see the sun just coming up, the redness of the skies. I love that. I love that. Like, proper, like, me, I'm the type of person who likes going to like really nice views, like mountains, hills, or something like that. Just to look at a view and just, just sit down and, you know, think over if you have like an equation at work that you want to solve, you know, you literally go up there and just reflect your mind. Even if you have, if you're stressed, you go up there, if you're Allah, it's just me and you. Yeah. Because there's no one around you. You get the answer. Hopefully. I hope I did. But, you know, so when He tells you when the redness of the, of the skies, because that's the most beautiful part of the day. It's the spiritual part of the day. There's different windows of the day that's spiritual. And not anyone has his own beauty. Not anyone is as blessed to wake up and, I mean, there's a lot of people who wake up after Fajr. Or people who literally go pray Fajr and sleep. They don't witness, when they don't come outside, they don't witness this beauty that Allah has given us. Because it's a change of, of whole environment. The sun is coming out. The light is beating the darkness. So imagine, imagine you live a life with no, with no sunlight. Allah has blessed you with this as well. This is all a blessing. So when, when, when Rasulullah sees it and cries, it means, it means, how should we take this on board? We're not taking this very seriously. It's a special moment, but we, we might take it for granted because we see it all the time. So when in times, if it's unfortunate, you oversleep, or there's some kind of calamity with your alarm, your phone battery dies, you know. Yeah. And then you feel sad. Like, you miss the window, or, you know, something was going by, and you missed it. And you can't, you can't never get that back. Because at that time, at that time, the doors, the doors of Ejabat is all open. Yeah. At that specific time. And there's only a time limit till it closes. When you pray later, you just get the good deed that you're supposed to pray. But the door of Ejabat is open and only in that period where the sun is, you know, at this peakist. And that's it. Later on when you're doing it, you're just doing your wajib. And you know it because you feel the blessing that time in the peak time. Exactly, exactly. I mean, Allah swt, when He gives us these kind of blessings, when Nabi Muhammad cries for this, it means Nabi Muhammad, which has seen the seven skies, heaven and hell, for him to come and cry over a sunset, it shows us that we are not thankful for what we have. So Allah swt, give us this patience. Give us this blessing. Make us, make us see what we have in our life. You know what I'm saying? After hearing your remarks, we need to hear this door, inshallah. It's beautiful. Thank you so much. Pleasure. Thank you so much. So in your own daily routine, how much, you know, you were talking about previous episodes about your father reciting. So is it something that you do in your daily routine? I try to. I try to. If I told you every single morning, I would lie. But you know, Alhamdulillah, being blessed with my father, he's awake every single morning and his voice, when he recites, he recites out loud because when you're praying, one of the mustahabbat is to pray out loud. For others to hear. That's the reason why, when they say, when you pray, pray out loud. For others to hear and they know that someone's praying, get up and pray. Alhamdulillah, of course, we all short come. We all come short with Allah swt. Some mornings we wake up, some mornings we wake up late. As you said, sometimes alarm. And this is, this is the, this is us. That's a human frailty, right? Yeah, this is the fault that we have. That we as a human being can't fix. But, you know, you can to a certain extent. It's a struggle. We can never be perfect, but we can always be better, right? We can always do better. When you wake up or when someone can wake you up, there's this thing where you can't control yourself and leave me alone. And this is very natural. It's not something that you can control by the way. But it's something that's how us human beings work. Now, some people have, have actually gone to a level where, where, okay, Marja'ayya, people, our scholars, they have gone to a certain level where they're able to fight against that. And they're used to fighting against that. Now, we're not, because we're not scholars. We haven't been studying since we were kids. But I guess their trials aren't as menial as ours, because we're, you know, they're knowledgeable, they're, but gone becomes higher. They're esteemed, you know, they have a position in front of Allah. And I guess even though these might not be their trials, I'm certain that they, in their own level, that their trials become harder. And we're... Because they're holding a responsibility. Exactly. So... And, you know, they, they, they, same as how we get up every day and go work, they get up every day, go housing. Yeah. So imagine how much we've excelled in work and how much they've excelled within the community. Oh, they have their challenges. The amount of, I'm just thinking, the amount of problems that exist in the community and where's the first protocol that most people end up knocking the door of an island? Even if it's outside of speciality, people will come with economic crisis, with psychological problem, with health problem, with all kinds of... Every answer they give, they have to hold responsibility. Exactly, exactly. Well, it's been a pleasure again today. This is worth it. Thank you so much and it's all we've got time for. Next up is Sister Masal Mujafa and she's going to be discussing the hijab. Is it more than a headscarf?
