 And now it's time for daily du'as. I do enjoy this time of the programme. We're brother Haider Jizani, salamu alaykum. Welcome and thank you for joining us again. Always a pleasure. Always good to see you, always good to see you. As you know, du'as, the integral part of Islam, the part of the shoulder, are really getting into this lifting our spirits up. Yes, yes, yes, definitely. I mean that's what the applications are there for. The du'as, the benefits of du'as is to not only bring you closer to Allah SWT, but also to make sure that you have faith in Allah SWT. Because when you ask a person for something, you must really know that this person will actually give you what it is. So usually if you know this person is a person who's not giving, you'll never really go and ask him, can I have, because he's known to be not given. Allah SWT is known to be giving and kareem, and this is part of his names, you know. Absolutely. So you ask him, and you know, I'll tell you when I'm so far away from you. Ask me, I'll give you whatever you need. It's a tradition that says, even ask for the salt in your food. Ask, because the etiquette is to honour that he's our creator. He's the one who provides every substance that we have. And we must rely on him for our needs. And then again, it's up to him to... So today, please talk us through what we're going to talk about. So this specific du'a is very beautiful. Yeah, what do you have for us today? What do you have for us today? This one's beautiful. I mean, they're all beautiful, but each one has their own kind of beauty. Unique beauty, yeah. Exactly. So this one is more of a kind of, you know, it's very emotional. So this one, this one usually brings a tear to a person's eye, because it tells you, it tells you, Oh Allah, set me right for the religion that you have made, a safeguard for me. So you have made a guideline for me, Allah SWT, to the way I live my life. Oh Allah, make me see this guideline. Don't blind me from this blessing. Because there's a lot of people who have their blessings in front of them, they don't see it. But there is a blessing there. It's like it's not there if you don't see it, all right? Exactly. Allah SWT bestowed light upon your life. He bestowed you a well-being, health. He bestowed you a family. All these things are blessings. The reason why you wake up in the morning, it's because of Allah SWT. It's because what you ask him. You know, sometimes when you ask him for something, he doesn't have to be physical. Oh Allah, bless me health. You can't see your health. And say, risk doesn't mean money, does it necessarily? No, no, no. Risk is before your health. Risk Al-Afiah. Oh Allah bless me, risk Al-Afiah. Al-Afiah is my well-being. So risk doesn't have to be something physical. Something to live by, just to, you know, Allah SWT, give me patience against my enemies. Give me patience against those who hate me. Give me patience with those who stand in my way as I worship you, Allah SWT. Because in life we have adversities. Many of us can relate to that. In whatever sphere of our life, there's going to be adversities and people that try your patience. Absolutely try your patience. I really relate to that one. I know many that try my patience. And you get tested upon that, specific time when you have someone who actually comes and tests your patience. Allah SWT has sent this person to you. To test your patience. Patience is something very key in Islam. Allah SWT has patience. When he walked in the streets of Medina. Or they used to throw stones at him. Tafe in tafe. Of course. We take a lady like Sayyida Zaynah. The embodiment of patience. She's the main example Allah SWT has blessed us with. This is another blessing. Absolutely. To have Sayyida Zaynah, to look at her patience. She lost her family. She lost everyone in front of her eyes. Yet she stayed strong and patient. And grateful. She said, Alhamdulillah. Allah has taken me a sacrifice for me. I am part of this sacrifice. And I think when you look at the patience. If we can't go through that trial, then how would we exert our patience? How would we refine our patience? No one is born with immaculate morals. We are learning as we are going along. So it's a blessing to have those people that are trusting your patience. It's almost as if the patience doesn't exist until you're in that situation. Definitely. Allah SWT has given us so many life examples. So many things that has taken place. We can speak about Sayyida Zaynah. We can speak about Imam Karval. Imam Karval was present. And yet he had to remain patient. Usually when a person who stays inside a room which is the same size as him, standing or laying. That's how big the room was. And it's absolutely dark. A normal being will go insane. He will lose faith. Sensory deprivation. He will become a clinical condition for the average person. Allah SWT has blessed us with these examples that we take very lightly in our daily basis. Do you think in this day and age that we focus more on what we don't have because we're constantly looking at what others perceive to have a life of perfection and that we're saying, well, I don't have what they have and I want more. Do you think we live? Of course. We live in a time where there's people who work a lot more than we do who are blessed a lot more than we are. But a blessing is not what you have in this dunya. A blessing is what you need to have in the Akhara. People can have all the blessings in the dunya but won't have the blessings of the Akhara. Sometimes they've been given their blessings now but there's nothing waiting for them. But there's people who have their blessings now and later. But this is because of who they are and what they've done in their daily basis. Allah gives you Tawfiq in this dunya. Why? How? Allah gives you Tawfiq in this dunya through these applications, through praying towards Him. Making sure you're praying on time. You wake up for Fajr. You give the effort. You give effort to Allah SWT. He'll give you. Tawfiq is brought through this. It's brought through the teachings of Ahlul Bayt that we need to take on our daily lives every single day. Wake up, Alhamdulillah. We are awake. And we go to see Allah. Allow me to wake up tomorrow and serve you. Because we shouldn't take that for granted. There's no guarantee that it's not automatic. No one knows when their time is up and once their time is up, that's why I advise a lot. Take care of your mothers. Take care of your mothers because once you lose a mother, you lose everything. Me, myself growing up, I've made my mom upset a few times. But this is me being a young kid. But she had the teachings of the Ahlul Bayt to stay patient with me to bring me up with strength. And you know when you lose, I've lost my grandma very recently. And I honestly felt half of the pain of losing your mother because the mother is the sweetness of your family. When you go inside your house and your mother's not there, she's on holiday. The house is a mess. It's a different place. Every day I come home. Exactly the candles are on. It smells beautiful. The house is clean. Everything's chilling. Everyone's smiling. Food is ready. Kitchen is popping. Exactly. It's popping, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But when you lose this kind of blessings, you know, you're like, I should have done this and I should have not and I should have made a fell better. I should have taken out. I should have done this. That's when you start regretting. This is the same as having any other blessings. You know, hold your blessings and be thankful towards it. I couldn't agree with you more. I think it's a perfect example to say about, you know, valuing our mothers, parents, grandparents, you know, these are all blessings. And our mother's daughter has such an esteemed position. So you obviously lost your grandmother a few years ago. I lost my mother and I felt when she, I was nursing and she was ill. People said, you know, even at this point, ask for her daughters. And so when she passed away, it felt like the cloud that was protecting me from the sun had gone. And her mercy was, you know, she was always reciting Dua for us playing Quran. So yes, definitely, those blessings are everywhere if we recognize them. And Allah swt values the mother's Dua. Dua al-ummus tajab. Values them away. Because the mother is what, she feeds you the love of Allah swt. The love of Allah swt. That's why Allah swt says, your mother, your mother, your mother, then your father. Three times the mother. Because your mother is the one who goes through the pain with you. Your father is there to teach you, to guide you in the right path. But your mother is the one to teach you and guide you through the love that she feeds you. Morality. Everything she's nurturing through her actions. Mothers give more than milk, right? Oh yeah, definitely. Through that milk is blessings. And she gives more. Blessings, she gives more. And she lives to, you know, like you upset her. She tells you no problem. I figure it. There's a hadith in there that says, when your mother loves you, then Allah loves you how many times more than what a mother loves you. And you think, the mercy our mothers show us. Like you said, we've all earned in our youth and, you know, probably upset them in our ignorance. But often I think when we look at our journey in this life, we are those ignorant that think we know it all, but we really don't. And as the older you get, you start to realize of your own ignorance, that you know nothing. And when we're looking at these doors, we're beseeching, we're beggars, because that is our status. You think that, you know, without Allah's mercy to provide, to give us a love, nurturing through these mediums that he puts on this world. And our mothers, you know, where would we be? You know, completely lost. Lost. And may Allah grant you some patience with what happened to you with your mother as well. InshaAllah. InshaAllah. InshaAllah. So yes, we're talking about discussing this door. So this door is very beautiful to, you know, it's basically Allah giving me patience to what's going to happen today. Oh Allah, I refuse any sinful meanings which will embark my journey when I leave my house. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So this is kind of da'a, is to kind of say, Allah's da'a, is to talk to you again. Reliance, that reliance, that reliance. Reliance, you're relying, you're relying, you're giving your reliance towards Allah SWT. And your safety. And I'm coming out, and I'm coming out and I want to put away anything that comes in my way. Oh Allah SWT, bless me patience. Oh Allah, bless me, bless me a strong heart for me to fight against the bad winnings. So this da'a is nice. So each verse is mustahab to be recited three times. You don't have to. But this da'a of the adi'a is like that. Oh Allah, I seek refuge for your forgiveness from this wrath. We live in a in a very dark world where everything around us is a sin. Where we live where we live in a time where it's very easy for you to kind of go into a bad path. Oh yeah, oh yeah. But inshallah, you know through the love of Allah SWT, through the love of Ahlul Bayt too, and they will help us too in that time. Allah SWT, they will stand for us. And this is what we live for. We live for the shafa'a. And we can't even take it for granted that we're in a particular geographical location of war and we're safe from the influence of the Shaytan because you know, we're living in the time of the worldwide web and it comes with its pluses. It comes with its minuses. So there's a lot of, you know, there's a lot of temptation and information out there as well. So we have to be wherever we are, kind of if we need to be vigilant, vigilant, vigilant. I think what the, when you talk about Shaytan we almost think of him as this, you know, the red horned, you know, two horned object. But he's actually, you know, the way he says wasswas and how he comes to us in different ways. They're more subtle than a red horned creature, right? And the more we try to stay affirmed to our faith, he's coming in such discreet. He comes to you as a friend. Devious. He comes to you in different shapes and sizes, different ways. There's a translation in the Quran saying I'm the Shaytan, quoting the Shaytan, I'm your friend. I'm your advisor. I've come to give you good currency. Yeah? You'll come to your mind as your second conscience. Yeah. That's what they say to purify those thoughts that first come into your mind because from that will be your intention and from that will be your action. So if that isn't clear and we're not, then we can't, you know, the cycle is going like if you're trying to go in a straight line. If you just deviate just a little bit, then the location where you're going to end up from where you intended to where you actually end up is going to be well off once you travel some distance. So would you be able to recite? Yeah. This beautiful door for us. So this, this part of this beautiful door, Allahumma aslah li dini al ladhi ja'alto li asmatan. Allahumma fix my religion, my belief in your religion, which you have blessed me as a asma. Asma is a pride, it's a blessing from Allah asma hata'a. When an Imam or a Nabi becomes ma'soom, he has his asma. This asma is a blessing from Allah asma hata'a. So when you say asma and you say pride, not kibir, this is something different. Oh no, this is completely different. Asma, when a person is ma'soom, he means a sinless, infallible. You give me, you give me this piece of infallibility towards your supplications of Allah asma hata'a. Allahumma aslah li duniya'a Lati... And then Allahumma fix the dunya that I'm living in that you made it my lifestyle. Thank you for this blessing. We wake up every morning. Our daily routine is what Allah swt has blessed us. Nabi Muhammad used to recite this every morning. Nabi Muhammad see, Something that Allah SWT has given them, that we won't ever be able to do, is they say sleeping as abadam. But where did you get the time to have all these ad-da'iyah when you wake up for fajr? You know, Nabi Muhammad used to do these ad-da'iyah. There's narrations that Nabi Muhammad, before he prays, there's a set of supplications to read. And between, there's another set of, and after he finishes, just before he goes back to sleep, or maybe they don't go back to sleep, they carry on with the abadam. Well, there's du'as for sunrise, so I presume there's a whole routine. So in terms of this one, was this, this is, what time is the best time to read this du'a? So this one hasn't got a specific time. This one is, is, is, is, of course there's the abadam. The Rasulullah used to, used to recite a fajr. Okay. Well, of course, this is the type of du'a you can recite any time. Yeah. It doesn't have to be for fajr. The mustaham of it, the timing of it, is just after fajr. Okay. After you've recited it, you're going to go about your day. This is the type of du'a I recited. Thank you so much for the recitation today. Absolutely. Beautiful du'a. That's all we've got time for. Next up, we have Sister Masul Majafa with Fijaba Etika and the safety of him.
