ald brothers and sisters welcome back to another episode of chai with my by where we help you excel in your dean and your D now listen today's episode is going to change the course of your life I know we've said that on many episodes that have come before this one but this time there is actually proof there's an evidence from the Quran and Sunnah that what we're going to discuss today has the power to change the course of your life change the itself and that is Dua we've mentioned many times that we're going to be doing an episode and you guys have been asking nonstop in the comments for us to finally do this episode so it's here so make sure you stay tuned to the very end to learn the ins the outs of how to ensure that your Dua is accepted and why is this very important right now well look the situation around the world has been going on for the last 6 weeks now the Muslims have been coming out doing as much much as they can including making Dua yet Victory still hasn't come so why is that is it a deficiency in the Dua are we not making Dua enough do we need to make more Dua is it the way that we're making Dua is it other factors this is something that we need to figure out find a solution to then Implement that solution so without further Ado let's get straight into the episode you want to discuss you want to mention a quote of IM who we know is one of the greatest Scholars of Islam uh what was the quotes and why is it relevant today okay so I'm just going to give a bit of a introduction in to give some context about what's been happening no not even necess but what's happening that why we started doing a series on Dua why this particular episode is going to be specifically breaking down how to make Dua in a way where the Dua gets accepted because obviously we've done a bunch of episodes on Dua but there was one comment that retouched my heart in the previous episode that was released the guy said listen I've been watching every episode to the end every week and then you just sum up how to make D in 30 seconds so we do read the comments not all of them but that one the boardroom the boardroom yeah sorry you know you can't make it to the boardroom and we do Implement some of the advice that you give not all of it this particular brother or sister whoever you were inshah this is um we're doing this one for you after Li of course but just to give you some context look first there are many ways to gain victory um when the Muslims are struggling and they're being you know dealt with in the way that they are for example in and other places there are many ways and we're not saying Dua is the is is the only way and it's the only thing that we should be doing no by in fact there are there are many things and we've discussed them at length and in some some of the things in not so much length that are mentioned from the Quran and the Sunnah does that make sense up of them Beyond making Dua but the reason why we keep talking about Dua is because Dua destion which is attribute the prop is authenticity his question but the meaning is correct and Scholars use this term to describe Dua a lot it is the weapon of a Believer it is the weapon of a Believer okay is stronger than any Weapon It's and and and and what really kind of demonstrates how effective Dua is is that the battle ofab when the prophet sallallah uh was basically trapped in Medina him and his companions with their wives and their kids and the Confederates had come all of them does that make sense all of them um and the at the time yes so so this was an this is a really strange battle because people that hated each other came together because the enemy of my enemy is my friend and they didn't come to just you know the B of happened it was like revenge for butab was to uproot the Muslims and to annihilate them and to cause the Muslims to be completely extinct like once and for all let's just genocide literally that's exactly what it was they they came for genocide du can change your life how do I know it changed mine alhamdulillah over the years I've had many many du accepted from my relationships to my businesses to my Dean whatever it might be and I'm going to be sharing with you some of the benefits and lessons that can be taken to help you change your life so with that said if that's something that you sound interested in and click the link in the description or in the comments and you can just put your email address in there and you will get access to this series with that said let's get back into the podcast does that make sense and the Muslims didn't have the strengths they didn't have the military prowers didn't have the capacity militarily not even in terms of numbers there was 10,000 of these guys that came surrounded the Muslims in their city does that make sense the best thing the Muslims could do in terms of military tactic which was a fantastic tactic was to create a trench a massive trench because then their horses couldn't get into the actual City if it B them some time now what happened was that in that battle and um a man we need to study it help us understand a lot of things but what happened was the prophet sallallah oh in other words oh Allah the one who sent down the book who is Swift to account the one who moves the clouds destroy this no if it's possible because you mentioned this in like almost every single right now Sammy if it's possible if you could just make little PDF or something and we can give it you know the people that sign up to the that op in for the Gaza emails can give them that would be very good if you could Sam yeah very good so the now you know we say this when for example we go to right the say the one who destroyed the Confederates alone Allah the made this Dua Allah destroyed them himself Allah dispersed them himself Allah defeated them caused them to be because they dispersed right Allah dispersed him himself and it's interesting that that Vick is mentioned because the Muslims didn't even do anything in sense where they couldn't Allah sent the Allah caused their hearts to disign they started fighting each other they started doubting each other because they were different groups that came together anyway so wait wait are you trying to set us up are you trying to set us up and Allah sent the wind what's crazy is even in the Quran Allah talks about the Y he mentions the same thing that they they seem to you like they're United yeah but they hard to see audition you even see that in the in the newses and stuff like their own people are going against them and saying this is wrong and they have that inviting and that's always been there exactly and and and and that that the similarities between the two stories are so oh 100% 100% 100% that it's shocking because there's actually a wrote right uh at the time when the Mongols invaded and he basically makes mention that what the Muslims went through in and is what we are going through right now and he mentions that this is something Allah that this is a way I hope I didn't make a mistake in the AY that there is a way and a tradition that Allah has in terms of the way he deals with his creation and Allah never changes it there's a way that things go there's a pattern that Allah he makes the Believers go through that sometimes someone will come ravage them ransack them pillage them there's a reason for this and if we have time we'll discuss it to prepare them for a greater victory that will come but that Victory will be even more possibly scary and and and and and whatnot and he's saying that these these these ways of Allah these ways that Allah deals with his creation have to be studied and then look at the way Allah the stories of the prophets and and specifically our Prophet Muhammad sallam look at how the was applied to him and the way he and his companions dealt with it we're going to go through the same thing as you read that wrote it's like he's talking about Gaza well likeing it's like he's talking about what's happening around us today say history repeats itself you see that happening yeah so point being is that is that um uh is that um is that the the prophet made this Dua and Allah dispersed him alone the point that I want to mention here that's why the Dua is the weapon of the believer and it's stronger than any military weapon any plane anything it's you calling onto Allah the who has ability over everything the one who's who's who's who's who's strong and mighty like no one can come against Allah so when you make Dua you're reaching out to him directly so this is one of the reasons why we keep pushing this because there are many things that we could do that can be done that are obligatory to help the prop from them which you all have the ability to do without question is this and it's possibly the most if not one of the most if not the most effective thing that could have been done in the first place as well because ultimately Allah is the one who's going to dispers it was even it should have been the first result it should have been the first thing you went to but right now it's the only thing you can go to regardless exactly and and and and and and in the Battle of where the Muslims actually did fight and they actually did win with the per ofel the prophet spent the whole night making du and what shocks me is that when Allah described the battle in the in Allah said you didn't fight them Allah is the one who killed them and you didn't throw when you threw Allah is the one thre you didn't you it wasn't your arrows that were fired it wasn't when you threw the sand that the Muhammad when he went it was Allah who did that so the point being here is that Dua it connects you to Allah and it really now of course this is with regards to the situation in your personal lives your marriages your relationships your finances your IM your Dean you're struggling with memorizing Quran struggling with sins Dua forgiveness seeking forgiveness something that the prophet sallallah alaihi would do 100 times today to to have Allah to forgive us so that's why we're talking about this right now so yes you wanted me to mention the statement yes so that was the context behind it and now let's get into the things that actually will Aid your Dua okay in being accepted so let's start off before you even get to the point of making Dua what are the things that you need to come with first and the first thing I want to discuss is the issue of having good thoughts of Allah and why is this important specifically when it comes to the issue of Dua look the prophet Sall said that Allah said I am the way that my slave he thinks about me so if you think that Allah is one who's merciful and Allah is one who's generous and Allah is one who what is um giving you will receive from Allah but if you think about Allah that he's he's he's not going to listen to me really what you're saying is or Allah is not going to respond to me there's there's a few implications of that number one Allah lied when he said he responds to the Dua so then you're accusing or you're assuming Allah is a liar you're implying Allah is a liar or Allah can't hear me does that make sense or Allah's not really that generous like you have to understand when when I make Dua and I don't really believe the Dua is going to come true at the time I'm making Dua or before I make Dua or after I make Dua the implications are Allah you stingy Allah you light feel strange to even say it Allah you're not actually merciful Allah you're not actually generous you can't actually hear me you can't hear me amongst everyone else look at all these evil negative assumptions negative assumptions that necessitate automatically that imp that are implied automatically if you are in that state of is not really going to accepted or my du is not going to accepted Allah is listen to me so for that reason that person deserves to be punished that person deserves to be punish said in the Quran and that is your thought about Allah which has destroyed you that is your thoughts of your Lord that have caused you to drop now as you have been destroyed because you B thought about of Allah there's generation that on the day of judgment a man will come before Allah and he will have sins and he'll be told to go to hell and as he's going he'll look back Allah and then he'll turn away and Allah will say why did you look back why did you look back and me say Allah I didn't think you would do this to me Allah forget you did you understand so I saying you have to have good thoughts of Allah the next thing before the Dua is of you mentioned this in the previous video and people were a little bit B wait but are you telling me if I'm not my accepted but I'm and I was making Dua I got a levels I got a Stars I got married I got this I things I make Dua for I get so how do you why do you tie to Dua um because Dua is the prophet Sall Dua is worship and if you worship other than you've left Islam if you worship other than Allah you you've left Islam Allah doesn't forgive the one who does Allah said whoever Allah has made for that person so his Dua is not being accepted in fact Allah mentions that even the people of Allah will respond to the Dua when they ask Allah directly but the one who does if he responds to Allah Allah will actually if he makes to Allah directly even that mus Allah will respond to his because he chose to SCH Allah only at that time and not Idols or Graves or prophets or whatever have you and not just that tells you make Dua to your lord your lord said make Dua to me right when you begged and called out to your lord the prophet sallallahu alhi was said if you ask only ask Allah and when you seek help it's only you that we worship it's only you that we ask for help so that it doesn't make sense a man's going to make Dua to the prophet or a righteous man or a slave or to grave a grave or whatever have you right and and and and if you are in the habit of making Dua to other than Allah and you make Dua to Allah now there's a chance that Allah can respond to your Dua even though you're a person who does even is but remember that's not necessarily a good thing for you it's not a good thing for you number one number two it's not always necessarily the case because we know that Allah responds to the duas right but there are conditions for the Dua to be responded to which we'll talk about as we as we go along so you risk your Dua even not being accepted because remember thei of the when the prophet sallallah alaihi was talked about the man who's on a journey a man who's on a journey a long journey your Dua is accepted when you're on a journey the prophet sallallah alhi wasam said he raises his hands to the sky which means your Dua is accepted he calls out to Allah saying y y and whenever in the Quran Allah you me Allah mentions people called out to him with his name Allah Allah your lord he responded to them so the name of Allah is a reason for the Dua to be accepted he is very disheveled and looks humble the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasall said a person he could be someone that is just rejected at the doors if he was to SW by Allah Allah would make his his oath come true because to you he's nothing he's this m man but to Allah he's honorable so being humble being m is a reason for your Dua to be accepted so the this man he's on a long journey he's raising his hands to make Dua he's humble he's MK he's saying all reasons for his Dua to be accepted but the prophet sallallahu alaihi said but his food is Haram his drink is Haram his clothing is Haram he was Raising how will du be responded what if you're doing sh that's if you've got sins it's if food is Haram as if your drink is Haram you've prevented the Dua from being what accepted doesn't mean it will never be this chance very very Bleak chance but act if you're doing sh you've made the chance even ble goes back to the issue of obviously the will of Allah comes into play with everything right like the issue of the prostitute they give the dog she enter into Jenna does that mean that we can ask say come let's do all the things we want let's just feed the dog before we die and then we go to Jenna no it's not how it works we've been given the formula we have to follow the formula yeah are there exceptions that's for Allah to decide he may put exceptions in place he may not Bas on his wisdom yeah 100% his wisdom um so for us we have to follow the formula that we've been given now let's come to during the actual Dua you just on that point yeah because this discussion started off from the previous is a continuation from what we talked about in the previous episode which kind of started off with the podcast with brother did where he asked me a question saying there are situations where there are people that may not have had the best of but Allah still gave them victory victory and the example that he quoted was the Battle of where the who didn't necessarily have the best or the people that time didn't have the best or the purest of Allah G the victory over the over the Mongols um and so on and so forth so although your point still stands that there are exceptional circumstances where Allah may still give Victory or respond to duas for a greater wisdom that he is not necessarily because you deserved it um I actually did a little bit of research into what's been happening what happened with the Mongols and everything because it's very very very there very close parallels with what's happening inaz and what the and the historians actually mentioned that that was a victory for the Muslims about angel but it wasn't necessarily a victory to like boast about or to be happy about in sense where like it wasn't B it wasn't necessarily that and I want to chuse my words very carefully because I don't want to come across like I'm beling what the Muslims went through but in the grand scheme of things it wasn't like something where they could really it wasn't like um it was like we survived huh was like we survived no it wasn't we survived but it was okay let me give you the context cuz I don't want to say words that can use against me i' rather you understand the point right so what happened was that SP man we don't want to be in a situation where the last five minutes at the end like yeah okay okay but I think these things are still important very all right so what happened in the Battle of Angel is that well before Angel is that is that um the the the Mongols were doing their thing Gan they were running around they were doing their thing they were taken over land and the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasall and look it always comes down to not listening to the proph the prophet s said the Turk the the taxs which are were the Mongols he said leave them as long as they leave you I these people don't don't get into it with them don't get into it with them right don't get into it with them leave them as long as they leave you what happened was I forgot one of the empires that was in thean region killed some of their businessmen and Traders SO gas Khan or one of his predecessors heard about I think he was get himself heard about it lost the plot invaded took over start kill the Muslims literally do you understand if they listen to what the prophet said who knows him it wouldn't have even happened said leave them as long as they leave you like these are not people you want to get into it with Okay cool so then what happens these are just ransacking the lands of the Muslims slaughtering and spilling blood like no man's business like a woman would come say to a man sit down stay here I'm going to go get my SW and cut your head off and he would wait woman from the Mongols knowing that if she if he was to leave she would come and take his head off anyway but then she would also go take off his wife and kids head as well so he would literally just wait there they spilled blood they spilled the blood of the Muslims right so what happened was now they're Spit In The Blood they're Spit In The Blood sping the blood and they're taken over Iraq Iran Damascus they're coming they're coming they're coming now Egypt right which is like the end it's like that's that's where the B of Angel took place right uh just before there so as they're coming now to this region was it was it hel I make it the names of the guys wrong but you could check he was with his army he was taking over he what happened was that the the the leader of the Mongols had just died so to secure his position of power he left with most of the army to go back to their capital okay so the army that the Muslims fac in the Battle of Angel was a very small weakened version of what remained of the Mongols does that Mak sense so it wasn't like the Muslims had this great Victory where they over came this and it was a great Victory I'm not saying it wasn't a great Victory but I'm saying it wasn't like bad where it was like all the odds against all those no no no no like the Army left like most of like most of the army had left like that dangerous blood thirsty savaging ran savaging pillaging the Army most of it went back or a huge part of it went back it was still a great Victory regardless it was still a blessing from Eliza because the Mongols could have carried on going and taken over the fact that they left was Theory alhamdulillah right alhamdulillah and and and that in itself might one might say is from the blessings of Allah but it shows that again you know what I'm saying there are other reasons like now when the Muslims at came with P Allah sent angels to fight the the leaders of qur with all of their the might and power boom do you get me so that obviously comes with so let's talk about the order and the structure of the so how should one start the Dua how should one end the Dua what what's the process the person should take when it comes to Dua so the prophet s heard a man making Dua and he stopped him he make it again he taught him how he should make Dua and the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said number one start off by praising Allah okay how do you praise Allah how do you praise well I'll mention that in a second but understand the structure first he says start off by praising Allah because think about it right when you come to someone and you want something you don't say give me it's bad manness how are you how things generous Subhan Allah helped me last time really appreciate you I see you help the brothers I'm B sck situation could you help me is the example that's greater so number one you you praise Allah tell you how to praise him in a second number two is you send salutations on the prophet sallam you send Salah upon the prophet okay because the the the the the Dua that you make for the prophet salutation you send upon the prophet is greater and more important than your Dua and anyone who doesn't send salutation upon the prophet is stingy does that make sense so and and and and and the salutations the prophet are accepted does that make sense so if your Dua is packaged in salutations of the Prophet then what do you think is happening to your Dua it's going to go up inshah then you ask for what you want does that make sense then you ask for what you want so okay how do you praise Allah you praise him by using his names you praise him by describing him in his great characteristics and his attributes so one of the things that I love to say is what the prophet told us oh Allah we cannot enumerate your your Praises right you are as you praise yourself does that make sense uh you praise [Music] Allah oh Allah to you belongs the praise that is between the heavens and the Earth the that is between them the amount that is in heav it's like you know you praise Allah use his names if you don't know in Arabic say in English yeah Allah the king of Kings Ya Allah the owner of the of of the dominions Ya Allah the most merciful Ya Allah the most generous Ya Allah the one who sent down the Quran who sent down the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam the one there is no one worthy to be worshiped in truth except for him you praise him right you praise Allah good then the second thing is you send Salah upon the prophet sallam how do you do this what you can say which is the one that we all know if you don't which is the best one and the most complete one which is called known as or right cool the minimum is Right Ya Allah praise him or say in English praise and salutations be upon your messenger Ya Allah does that make sense so you praise Allah you send salutations upon the prophet Sall alhi wasallam and the third thing is now you ask for what you want does that make sense this is the way the also goes you start off by Al which is praising Allah then you send theh and then you make Dua for the dead so even when it comes to right this is praising Allah then after he send and then and then you make Dua for yourself and the righteous then Allah and then make again does that make sense so this this this this this is a theme and this is the way the Dua should be made now when it comes to sending Salah upon the prophet inside of the Dua there's three situations you can either send Salah first or you can send Salah at the beginning and also at the end s sorry praise Allah and then send Salah that's the first situation praise Allah Salah and then Salah at the end or praise Allah sends Allah from the prophet ask what you want send ask what you want again and then and then send at the end so soah at the beginning the beginning middle andah beginning middle and end that's the best situation but the very least beginning in the middle you beautiful he said du for the prophet if you package your Dua in the middle of it that Dua is going up to Allah and Allah is too generous to reject that which is in between it Allah is too generous to reject that which is between in between it that's another thing that you could do when you make that one point before we move on regarding the issue of praising Allah you said to mention his names yeah I think one thing people don't realize and this is why so so important to learn the names of Allah is that find the name that is most relevant to that which you're asking so if you're asking for something to do with business you're asking for risk you ask Allah by the name and so on and so forth like learn the names of Allah and use the ones that apply to your situation the most and you will even feel like more empowered imagine you're asking for RIS who else is going to give you risk other than you know so these are all things that are like one that people might be interested to know I'm not sure if I told them just yet is um the name that you use when you want to get married what is the name of Allah that you that is appropriate to use in the context of marriage marriage you're asking for a spouse you could say yes because wife is R yeah you can use other names but there's one I'll tell you inshah because going to roast is Al wahab the one who gives gifts you know why because in the Quran Allah refer to wives as a [Music] gift Oh Our Lord gift to us from our spouses from our wives and our children the corness of eyes so if you want wife you want children what do you do you Al wahab the one who gives gifts does that make sense so now the next point is the issue of sincerity asking only from Allah we touched upon this in the before the Dua why is this so important and are there times or places where you can ask other than Allah in particular ways so look when it comes to making Dua to Allah we already discussed that there cannot be any sh inside the Dua has to be purely and solely to Allah does that make sense there's an ay in the Quran where Allah he um mentions to us the manners of how to make Dua and there's about six seven manners that I mentioned in this Ayah which I'll read to people and hopefully they can take benefit from it but before I do that I'll ask your second I'll answer your second question first which is um are there times where you can make Dua to other than yeah for example people will say obviously not talking because that's clear you're asking directly du to someone else that's wrong if you ask another person for example a righteous person to make Dua to Allah for you for you or you ask Allah because of a certain thing that I did for example like right because of a thing that I did I see accept my in this situation for example so firstly look you can look Dua in the Arabic language means to call MH okay means to call out for help out of desperation difficulty and um means also to call does that make sense it means to ask sorry so point being is that there's a type of which is allowed to other than Allah and there's a type which isik the one that is allowed right is one where you're asking a person you're doing you're begging a person I help me I'm in need you're screaming up please help me or you're you're asking for help or assistance but there are conditions but there are conditions and the conditions are three number one he has to be present he has to be alive and he has to be able if you ask anyone other than Allah for something and they are not able to give you what you're asking for example you ask them for a child or you ask them and they are dead or you ask them like for example I'm here in let's just say I'm am sitting in Mecca and I'm saying uh yeah sh in Pakistan give me this he's not here I'm implying he's all hearing all seeing like Allah this right let's say that was a real fire and some reason my clothes CAU fire I'm help me grab the water because one you're here you're alive you can grab the water in Fr me I start saying yo naked Baba what's the guy name n Baba in some next place like bro come help man that's obiously the guy's not here the guy can't help me the got no water exactly that be wrong so so so the the second question you ask is right is not when you ask someone for something from them but from them you ask them to help you help you right again if you now now now now it's a type of ask so if you doas to a dead man it's still if you do to a man who's absolent still um but generally speaking can be done and there are three types of to that could be done number one is to to Allah's names because is to ask through something in it so you're asking for Allah's characteristics Allah through your mercy I beg you right so you call upon Allah through him the second thing is you call upon Allah through Deeds Through Your Righteous Deeds right which is like the Hadi of the people that were inside of the uh Rock inside of the cave and then the rock had blocked them and they were stuck and they all made Dua to Allah and they said Allah because of the action I did it for your sake Allah remov The Rock and Allah remov the rock the third thing is to go to a righteous person who's alive not dead it's very important and say can you make Dua for me please um and and and even that is not something that is encouraged um circumstantial does that make sense um and uh no yeah it come to the times sorry sincerity sincerity oh we kind of already so sincerity is to make it purely for Allah but you know I'll mention this Ayah which Scholars mention sincity so Allah okay Allah says make Dua to your lord and then Allah so so so so there are seven things that manners that you can learn from Dua learn about Dua from this number one make Dua to your lord only him that's sincerity only Allah only seek from him no one else does that make sense what does that mean means to make Dua [Music] is persistently keep begging him keep begging him keep begging him keep begging him keep begging him keep begging him Allah likes it when you keep what repeating repeating repeating repeating because it is a sign of s what you what people don't realize about du is that Dua is the epitome of worship what is worship what is it is the term for the for the Arabs is like the highest form of love you know love when it reaches a level you know in love there's humiliation isn't it now when you love someone there is a degree of hum humiliation that like as in you let things slide you know what I'm saying you feel pain when they're not there this that and the other it's a weakness is a degree of humiliation but complete humiliation can only be for Allah and complete love can only be for Allah when you combine between complete love and dedication and complete humiliation like to the point where I'm I will stop eating for you Ya Allah I will stop drinking for you like I do in Ramadan Allah I will stop sleeping for you I wake up in the middle of the night Allah I will give my money up for you y Allah I will die for you Allah my blood will be spilled for you y that is complete humility I'll put my face on the ground and I say my no most no part of my face I will place it on the dirt right I'll put my toes onto what I'll put my toes onto the Earth and that will push my forehead even deeper into the ground you know that's one of the wisdom behind the toes being directed towards the when you're in and the feet being together is that automatically it pushes your head deeper into the ground and I and I've got complete love cuz you might do humiliating acts for a person that you hate because got gun to your head no no no no I do and I love you y so so one of the best ways to show that is Dua give me Ya Allah give me look look look look at the hands this is I'm this poverty this is neediness a king who needs nothing from the humans give me give me does that make sense he aing he's getting up in the middle of the night Ya Allah you've come down to lowest Heaven Allah please please please give give give in Ya Allah put my head on the Ya Allah give give you've combined between this great love and humility completely Allah loves that so Allah wants to see you do it again and again and that's why sometimes the response to Dua comes a little bit late or sometimes it can come even 10 years late and that's fine because that's 10 years of you getting closer to Allah does that make sense so is to keep repeating it repeating it repeating it repeating it this this this is very interesting one a lot of people don't make Dua in this way and this is one of the reason for for your Dua to be accepted this is one of the mans of Dua Allah for making is to make Dua quietly most people are in trouble what do you hear ya Allah Ya Allah they scream loud right no no no you keep quiet couple reasons number one talking to the King of Kings do you go to the king of kings and you start ya give me this ya need do you start losing composure even if you now pay attention you let's just say you're suffering you're struggling you're going through the madness in life like you're going through so much pain pain and Agony and you feel like just screaming but because of your respect for Allah you control and that all of that all of that that pain and suffering Allah I'm in need Allah I'm overcome give me Victory all of that I'm saying that quietness talking to Allah it brings about and also increase your sincerity as well you know what people going to hear you and exactly it's actually one of the things inia mentioned mentioned that there are six seven benefits to making your Dua quietly one of the sincerity so another one is he goes you don't ever talk quietly to someone that's far away so the fact that you're talking to Allah quietly in your Dua is proof that you believe he's close and can hear you now of course close as in as in close no no not close as in we don't believe Allah everywhere he above strong but in terms of his knowledge and yeah 100% that he his and and and then he mentions many other things also and then Allah said Allah doesn't like the people who who transgress so you don't transgress in your Dua asking for things that are Haram or whatever have you uh and then don't create corruption in the land you want your Dua to be accepted but you do sins don't come to the gates of Justice with blood on your hands like you want you want don't do s like mentioned he said when we lost last year said when we lost last year against the Mongols he writes in his um he says um it's because we sinned the the filth the L he says the Hess and the arrogance the thead the oppression and oppressing Muslims with turning away from the de of Allah he said because of that Allah caused us to be conquered by these people does that make sense so that we can and he said this was a this was a mercy from Allah causing us to turn back to him to make Toba him to repent to himana wa tala so when you when you commit sins it could be a reason for your Dua to what not be AC accepted I quoted the to earlier Allah said that the mercy of and make Dua to Allah with fear and hope there's another one now in the same in in the same a there's twoy second make with Fe and hope so look look look Mak du to Allah only purely him you making that consistently again and again again you're making it quietly you're not asking for anything that's Haram you're also what you're seeking forgiveness that's why some of the mentioned before you make Dua within before you ask for what you want in your Dua say Allah start seeking forgiveness because maybe you did a sin earlier and that sin could be a reason for your du to not be accepted so before you start asking so you praise Allah you send salutations upon the prophet and before you ask for what you want ask for forgiveness first and then ask for the other things so you made Toba so look you're making du to Allah you're asking consistently quietly um you're not asking for anything you're making and you're making with fear I'm scared of you but hope I run away from your punishment only to run back to you to save me does that make sense and then Allah said um that Allah's Mercy is close to the good doers and the ones who do is is to worship as if you can see him and if you can't then at least that he can see you to worship Him Consciousness and and focus and if you do all of that your du is accepted in you mention the issue of raising the hands with the example of the man that was in that was you know disel why is raising the hands important where does that come from so remember the more you raise your hands the more neediness it shows right the more give me the hands at the bottom it's the hands in need hands submissive this hand is humiliated this hand is belittled does that make sense um so then two hands the higher they are the more need what about my hands are like this and the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam did this at the night on the Battle of B to the point where the armpits the whiteness of his armpits could be seen of How High his hands were raised so the more your need the greater you raise your hands and it's a demonstration of your neediness what iss of times that Dua is accepted you mentioned for example the man who was a traveler right so when you're a traveler then your Dua is known to be accepted uh there are many other times like for example on Friday the last hour before a lot of people don't know this but that's again a time for du to be accepted you know between the and the again a time for du to be accepted the last third of the night a time for Dua to be accepted when you're in s your head is on the ground you're in the closest place to Allah your head sorry your Dua once again is accepted there are so many times when it's raining again a time and a place where your Dua is accepted certain places for example that is accepted there are so many times so many places it's just about learning learning them and using them when they come so let me [Music] read Dua he said the heatness of the heart and not being focused and not being present in terms of heart and mind at the time of your Dua is a reason for the Dua to be rejected he said and the proof of that is aith that we mentioned before which I'll mention later in he said this Dua is a medic is a treatment that is beneficial it takes away whatever harm and illness and problem is that you have but the heess of the heart but the absence of the heart is a reason for the Dua to be rejected okay this is the part that I want is the part that I want he said he said if when you make Dua your heart is present and you completely and fully asking for the thing that you want while and at the same time your heart is present and focused and it's at the time when the duas are accepted like for example the times you mentioned for example the last of the night between in the at the end of the before you send Salam does that make sense [Music] the last hour on Friday okay there's also other times which you didn't mention for example in your right the time between the Blackstone and the and the and the door of the on many many the situations right he said and not only have you got focus in your Dua but you've got the right time okay and also you've got humility and focus and into your heart and you present yourself as a broken needy person before Allah and you're humble and humiliated in front of him you're asking him again and again and again and you're facing the and you also have done and you've raised your hands to Allah and you start off by praising Allah and then you sendah upon the prophet then before you ask for what you need you ask Allah to forgive you and you repent to him and and you seek forgiveness then you enter upon Allah with this Dua and you ask and you ask again and again in the thing that for the thing that you want and you call upon him with hope and with fear and you do with his names and his and his characteristics for and his Oneness and before you even made that Dua you gave some charity then this Dua the chances of it being rejected is almost impossible do you understand imagine you come with all of that the time the state of heart the State of Mind the way you do the Dua pretty much all of what I've just said to you prior was gathered in this statement understand so if you really want something you make it in between the last last day of the night give s make Dua right if you really want your to doing this things this is your checklist another thing you mentioned was the issue of keep Dua a little ambiguous what did you mean by that yeah this one's important so when you make Dua don't necessarily ask for specific things why I'll tell you why ask things ask specific things but don't be too specific and I'll tell you why one reason is because it could fall under you know how Allah doesn't like the ones who transgress there something called transgression du that's when you for but also some narration the sahab found their children making Dua saying I ask you for this Palace in Jen with with with this White Palace on the right side and it was like for and you get whatever in because there's no need to go into like too many specifics Allah I want a carard with this number plate and this and this and this and this and this um what's one of the wisdoms behind that can ask for a nice car you can even ask for a specific car but like point is don't be Allah could have given you something better that you didn't know about right right and I'll tell you something there's a Hadi of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi said the prophet sallallahu alh was said make your asking like or or or some said beautify your your request other because it can also mean make your request a little bit ambiguous and when you look at the duas of the Prophet they all have a degree of ambiguity in there for example Allah make from our children and our wives gift to us from our children our wives the coolness of eyes but what does a man's wife what does a man's eyes find coolness in regard regard to his wife he might say the way she looks he might say had he might say the way she treats my kids the way maybe another man doesn't care how his wife and say looks but how he she keeps the house now it was told to be what ambiguous likewise Allah give to us in this life what good and in the next life good but what was the good specifically wasn't necessar mentioned you find that the DU of oh Allah help me but don't help Aid against me right um which comes in the same Dua all respond to my Dua which Dua it wasn't mentioned it was you know guide my heart guide my heart to what degree of ambiguity do you understand okay cool why cuz you might make Dua for something and Allah responds so he will give it to you and that could be your destruction and I give you an example my she he gave me an example he said um there was a guy who made Dua he said make like this man then that man left Islam and he said I am scared to today Allah will make that Dua come true now you might ask for a car you might ask for a woman and I've well I I've seen I've seen people beg Allah ask for a particular woman they wanted to marry it was given to them the Dua was responded to then that woman destroyed their life they got divorced wasn't great or maybe didn't destroy his life it wasn't like a great marriage and this man's like Allah gave this to me bro you got what you asked for what would have been better is Allah give me a woman that is pleasing for me the best for me make Allah give me a woman that I'm attracted to Allah give me a woman that I my my my my heart you know I find peace and Tranquility with I have a good relationship with that's why so great life she's good bring her to me if she's bad take her away from me point being is that you get what you ask brother does that make sense another thing is okay cool what if so this thing could actually be bad for you but what if Allah has even better prepared and planned for you does that make sense he was gonna give you something even better but you were too specific with your with your D the next thing I want to talk about is the issue of the duration of the Dua for like people don't actually make Dua for long enough you know like especally the issue of Palestine right how long is a long Dua like if people were to say uh you know let's say let's say at the end of this podcast I said to you put your phone down raise your hands set a timer on your phone put it down and just close make Dua what you consider to be a long Dua lengthy Dua then look at your phone most of you will be shocked to find 5 minutes passed 3 minutes passed but you felt like well that I got it all out I said a lot and if you compare that with how much time we spend doing other things scrolling social media uh making posts online whether it's activism or whatever it might be and you know marching down the streets and holding up blackards and hours are spent there and we do a minut Dua we say we done long Dua a 15 minute Dua wow we made such a long Dua even let's say you make a half an hour long Dua but you spend 6 hours standing straight As in increase the duration of your Dua learn more things to make Dua for repeat the things you've already made Dua for and you will find that that will bring a lot more bar in your Dua so this requires a little bit of requires a little bit of understanding so the first thing I was mention is that making a little bit of Dua is better than making no Dua of course okay and actually mentions in his book he talks about the SE about Dua he mentions that Dua can be like salt when it comes to food sometimes a little bit of salt is enough to what season it to make the food taste amazing so he said a little bit of Dua with obedience to Allah is like salt and food it's not like it's salt and food unrestrictedly he said little bit of Dua with obedience to Allah is like so in food meaning if you generally a person who OBS Allah and you're not doing sins I mean we will make mistakes but you make Toba you regularly seeking every day turn back to Allah seeking saying 100 times a day at the very least then you might find your just couple of minutes of Dua every day go every long way does that make sense so so definitely definitely definitely make some type of Dua and don't be an order or nothing type of person like if you can't pray bro in the last thir of the night just pray one W before you sleep and don't you dare say no that's not enough what you talking about it's not enough there's a reason why you can't lift 20 kg in the gym on your bises because you haven't even tried six yet so do one with before you sleep and then all give to do that the next day you know in the future that's the first thing okay cool second thing is though but how long should it be so again this requires a little bit more requires a little bit more because what you want to do is his book he discusses what's he discusses what's better du Dua um and he is better than Dua is mentioning Allah and Dua is asking Allah right and he says is better than Dua why is better than Dua because is complete mention of Allah and it's focusing on Allah without you asking anything for yourself and Dua is you asking for yourself of course you praise Allah but is complete Praise of Allah and there are some narration that mention that the ones who do remember Allah Allah gives him like he doesn't give to anyone else does that make sense and that's why the Dua of Unice which is called a Dua is a there is no one where to worship truth except for you are perfect free from Perfection and I the one that has wronged myself where is the question the question is implied Allah you're perfect I'm calling upon you you know when you go to a generous rich man you say you're generous you help the needy not who you so what do you want what do you want do you understand so point being is that the more you praise Allah so so point is that that that what you want to do is and and then not only that what's the best type of Quran right so the point here is that you want to be doing the best so you want to be doing your Quran you want to be doing your VI after and sorry after and and after Salah but then you also want to fit Dua in does that make sense you also want to fit Dua in and the way to do it is to ask yourself okay cool what are the times where Dua is what accepted so between and so I really focus and I should try to focus to make my duas in those times in those times are accepted in in my Salah even if I don't have a lot of time even if I'm behind the the I got something in the last day of the night even if it's 10 minutes I 10 minutes just raise my hands to make Dua does that make sense also in the last in the middle of the night the prophet mentioned if you wake up and you make a certain and then you ask Allah for whatever it'll be accepted does that make sense so making duas in these times I'm saying it's not necessarily about the length but what what I need to look at more so is the time does that make sense okay cool now here's a very important Point what if me personally on a personal level I just because of work or life I'm struggling to get the times where the Dua is accepted does that make sense but I find maybe like 1: p.m. in my lunch break is I can make nice 10 15 minutes Dua for you that might be better and no one can should should criticize you for that yes you should try and get the times that accepted but for you getting what you can does that make sense the point here is look at the obligations and them first and look at the times with du accepted the most and fit it in there does that make sense and try try and do as much of it as you can in those moments and then you can do above and beyond does that make sense now generally speaking and this is the point I mentioned that the more you you are in need and Desperation the longer your Dua would be and the proof of that is at the Battle of B the prophet did what he spent the whole night making Dua so when you're really in Need You obviously then making Dua a lot there's a lot more to say but you really want now we need to because we need to quickly get to the things after you've made the Dua which comes to the issue of patience so on so forth so what are the different types of ways that du accepted let's just say you ask for a particular car like you said I don't get that car does that mean my D went to waste they went down the drain like what does that mean okay good good good how long do you have three minutes we got another question to ask as well okay this is a very important question so maybe have to do another episode okay it's very important question okay look number one if you if you have made Dua the one of things that you should definitely not do is say my Dua didn't get accepted because the prophet sallallahu alaihi was said everyone's Dua will be accepted except for a person who said my Dua didn't didn't get accepted why because Allah told you he would accept and he told you if he doesn't give you what you want he'll give you something better or he'll keep it in store for you for Paradise so who the hell are you to say my Dua didn't get accepted does that make sense or if you become dismayed with the fact that Dua hadn't come right now you stop making it the implication is I am so righteous I did everything that was deserving of a Dua to be accepted Allah still didn't give it to me Allah is unjust I did everything my heart was present I like I came with the perfect Dua how do you know you came with the perfect Dua why are you implying that you know better you know what I'm saying no no what you do is you carry on making the Dua because Allah loves that and Allah has promised he will give it to you and he will give it to you when the time is right and he'll give it to you in the best and most perfect form that's ideal for you if not he will give you that which is better than what you asked and you will enjoy that more and be more grateful for it or he will keep it in store for you for the for Paradise on the day of judgment when you really need it does that make sense and some of the say that a person who says that my Dua didn't get accepted for him he's not getting what he asked for and we're scared for him that he won't even get a replacement for something better and he won't get something he won't have anything in store for him in the next life as well when he was ready in need so you don't stop making also you don't sin because it could be that a slave has been prevented from a Dua that was being accepted because of a sin that he did now we all make mistakes and we sin so how do you how do you how do you overcome that by constantly being in a state of seeking forgiveness and making Toba saying 100 times a day try to keep your heart as present as you possibly can and remember the sin and make Dua for the sins to be removed from you every day because even if you've done a sin it's gone you've done it it's gone does that make sense the important Point here to mention here is that some people be like look look look look I've made Dua I've been doing it for a couple years why has my Dua not come true and and and and and and it's true Allah has said to you that I'm going to give it to you and he will give it to you or replace it with something better or keep for your but what if you came with something that blocks the Dua what if you came with something that actually prevents the Dua from being accepted does that make sense discussed this he said for example some people make Dua they say which is a that you make in the morning the prophet sallallahu alaihi said if you say in the morning you'll be safe and nothing will harm you into the evening and if you say in the evening nothing will harm you if you say it three times nothing will harm harm you until the morning but the guy gets harmed he said why he not because doesn't work said this is a treatment and a cure it works it takes away the problem that you are trying to remove for example the heedless of the heart it removes it it destroys it so then and it makes the Dua weak the point here is that there are something that you could do that cause the Dua to be what to be rejected and prevented and blocked for example the example gives is a plant that's growing okay if you for for a plant to grow for a tree to grow how many things are there water oygen carbon dioxide so youve planted the seed let's say that's du you planted the seed but my my crop isn't grown wait number one where is the was the earth that you put it in did you water it is the Sun out is the sun reaching it there are so many different things so likewise with the Dua are you making Toba from your sins are you constantly making Dua is your heart connected upon Allah is your heart connected to Allah things you mentioned all the things that you mentioned all have to come together and you have to be constantly revising these things and don't worry if it seems a little bit overwhelming every now and again you'll make mistakes you fall short come back to this video Keep keep consistent with it the point is keep asking keep asking keep asking ultimately you find that Allah will give you what you want but the thing here is and this is the point that I'll leave on and gives us analogy he says don't be a fool like the guy who plants a crop he's watering it watering it watering it he sees it slightly maybe start to come out and then he leaves it he said that's what you've done when you've been making Dua making Dua for 5 6 S 8 9 10 years please be at peace and certain the Dua is going to be accepted Allah doesn't lie yeah one way shap form you spent 10 years of making Dua yeah and now you left it like literally it's like a guy who was taking care of this crop this field and he sees a little bit come out he just has to carry on he knows it's going to it's going it's going it's going to it's going to Blossom one day then he Le it thank you so much guys hopefully you guys benefited from that I honestly urge each and every single one of you implement this to the tea and I promise you like I said at the beginning I did give you a promise it will change your life I'll reiterate that promise it will inshallah change your life and just have patience have good thoughts of Allah when it comes to your Dua with that said we'll see you guys on the next episode of chai with my by you never know drop a comment and we might decide to do it on the topic that you ask for in the comments you never know not promising anything we don't do it all the time but sometimes we do like we did on this episode with that said see you on the next episode
