THE POWER OF DUA IN SUJOOD

when we engage in sujud a lot happens we benefit not only spiritually and within the obedience of allah which is our primary aim of sujud your intention should be i am engaging in what allah has instructed me to engage in i am worshiping allah in the way that i was taught by muhammad sallam i want to please allah that is the intention whenever you go into sujud no one can go into sujood saying i'm only going into this position because of the benefits of the sujud upon my health those are side benefits it's not the primary intention ever if that was your intention again you would be wrong may allah help us correct our intentions at all times remember intention is key so my brothers and sisters when we go down there one of the supplications we're taught by rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam is to say allah subhanahu we repeat it a minimum of three times we could go on to five or seven or more but that is one of the phrases of praise of allah we are glorifying allah glory be to allah subhana rabbi glory be to my rabb my rabb meaning the one who made me who is in control of my existence in other words the nourisher the cherisher the sustainer the provider the protector the cure the one in whose hands lies control of entire existence of mine and all other creatures we are saying glory be to my rabb he is the highest well we have to agree and we do believe he who made us the maker is indeed the highest no one can be upon his position in any way whatsoever may that we should say good words similarly there is another dua that we were taught by the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam my head has prostrated for the one my head has prostrated for the one who has created it who has fashioned it meaning given it its identification everyone's face is different so my face has actually prostrated for the one who has created it the one who has fashioned it the one who has slipped open its eyes so that i can see the one who has opened burst opened its ears so that i can hear subhanallah so glory be to allah who is the best of creators obviously he is the only creator who creates from nothing but we use the term best of creators because man can only change what allah has created from one position to another for example when people say look at what i made they did not make it from nothing they actually transformed it from one point to another what they did is they took for example the metal and they carved it into a motor vehicle so they cannot say i made the motor vehicle by saying be and it is that's not called a creator it's actually someone who has transformed one thing that allah made into another thing but still allah says allah is the best of creators we believe he's the only creator may allah subhanahu wa grant us a deeper understanding when we go into the position of sujud we're also asked to make dua make dua meaning supplicate to allah it's the closest you could be to allah learn the beautiful supplications of the prophet muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam learned to ask the almighty using beautiful words that were used by the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam all that were mentioned by allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala in revelation these are the most powerful words and we should try our best to learn them to use them to call out to allah may allah make it easy for every one of us and may allah grant us our wish but i want to raise the awareness of something else whenever you are sad whenever you're feeling anxious whenever you don't know what's about to happen whenever there is uncertainty in your life whenever people are trying to harm you one of the best ways of benefiting yourself is to pray two units of prayer and to prolong your sujud listen to what allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says at the end of suratul to muhammad he says [Music] [Music] we know that it tightens your chest what they are saying what were they saying well the people of quraysh used to say nasty things to the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam false accusations words of belittling they tried to belittle but they would never succeed because nobody can belittle the messengers they mocked at they scoffed at and the only thing that happened was their own status was dropped never did that affect the status of muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam but allah says it tightened your chest we know it saddened you the reason why it saddened him was he was desperately seeking their guidance and he was so sad that they were not listening and that it was going to be affecting them negatively so part of nubuha and prophethood is that the messenger peace be upon him was very concerned about the guidance of those whom he was calling out to the dean and therefore whenever they rejected or mocked or scoffed at etc he would be saddened and the tightening of the chest refers to so many things allah says we know that what they are saying tightens your chest but we want to advise you what did allah advise him subhanallah allah says declare the greatness of allah glorify allah declare the praise of allah al-hamdu is referring to the praise for being declare the glorification and the praise of allah of your rabb the one who made you think about he who made you and he who is in control of every aspect of your living right now and every aspect of the living of all the creatures that he has made and think about he whom you are going to return to that is your hub so allah says declare his praise glorify him and communist deen be from among those who are often engaged in prostration asajjideen those who prostrate so the prostration will help you overcome that hurt that sadness that anxiety those negative feelings what will help you prostration will help you my brothers and sisters take your time it's a gift of allah go into that position and weep to allah cry to allah praise allah call out to allah do whatever you would like to for the sake of allah in that position in terms of the words you're going to say and cry to allah remember we're taught how to prostrate but we're also taught by the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam that we are allowed to call out to allah in that position of prostration so get into that position and call out to allah may allah subhanahu wa ta'ala grant us acceptance allah says at the end of suratul and allah says and worship your lord until death comes to you until the end until the very end and this is what my brothers and sisters will actually help us so remember every time there is uncertainty you want to call out to allah what better thing to do than to get up at a time that we know is the most blessed time to call out to allah which is the time of the hajjut the last third of the night and then to engage in the position or posture that we know would make us the closest to allah subhanahu wa and then weep to allah and then cry to him knowing that he is calling out at that time saying who is there who is asking me that i can give them and we're busy in sujood in the highest possible posture the best and the closest to allah saying to him that yes i am here o allah i need i am in need i am calling out to you grant me oh allah make sure that your supplications are good they are positive they are something you would be proud of may allah help us forgive people may allah help us call out to him in a positive way my brothers and sisters remember something we are not allowed to call out to anyone besides allah we cannot render sujud for anyone besides allah [Music] you
