[0:01][music] [music] Alhamdulillah.

[0:27]Mustafa Muhammad.

[1:06]for Allah.

[1:34]My dear brothers and sisters, illuminate your hearts and minds in this

[1:40]majus with another loud salawat.

[1:50]Prophet Unice peace be upon him is amongst the greatest of prophets

[1:57]allahel has sent mankind.

[1:57]This story still resonates with us today, centuries and millennia after it

[2:04]occurred because the story of prophet ununice is a story that at

[2:13]its essence and at its core is a story we all go

[2:16]through.

[2:17]Prophet Ununice peace be upon him.

[2:21]He and the stories that occurred that are mentioned in the holy

[2:26]Quran.

[2:27]This all occurred geographically within an area of northern called prophet ununice

[2:35]peace be upon him.

[2:38]He was sent to his community.

[2:39]He was sent with great character and an even greater message to

[2:44]leave behind your old backward ways.

[2:48]Not built on logic, not built on rationality.

[2:51]Doesn't make sense.

[2:53]Simply I'm just doing what I saw my mother doing, what she

[2:57]saw her father doing, what he saw his mother doing.

[3:00]But all the great teachings of prophet Ununice would fall upon deaf

[3:07]ears.

[3:05]years and years and years and years and years and years of

[3:11]preaching and nothing in return.

[3:12]He does not ask for anything in return.

[3:14]The prophets of allahel, they don't ask for a salary.

[3:16]They don't ask for gifts.

[3:19]They don't ask for anything in return.

[3:21]The best way their communities can repay them is to simply follow

[3:27]their message which is to their own benefit.

[3:32]Eventually, Prophet Ununice, peace be upon him, he reaches the point of

[3:42]no return.

[3:41]He's reached the tipping line.

[3:45]He's had enough.

[3:49]According to one narration, it said that he goes to two of

[3:54]his close friends.

[3:54]These two individuals, they were followers of Prophet Unice peace be upon

[3:58]him.

[3:59]One was a great a worshipper and the other was a great

[4:05]a knowledgeable scholar.

[4:07]So he goes and he tells them that I've had enough.

[4:12]I've preached for so long and it's barely had any effect and

[4:16]I've had enough.

[4:19]I am going to do a dua against my community.

[4:22]Now, in normal circumstances, if you've oppressed someone, you have to be

[4:27]very careful of that person's dua.

[4:32]The hadith says, "Be careful when oppressing and harming someone that is

[4:42]not armed, someone that has no strength and no supporters.

[4:46]If you have beef with someone that's powerful, that has connections, maybe

[4:48]they're physically strong, they can fight for themselves and they might best

[4:52]you.

[4:54]It'll be a clash, but you'll have a fair shot.

[4:58]If you fight someone that's harmless, allahel says, "I will be their

[5:03]defense." [laughter] You might be, you know, Dwayne the Rock Johnson.

[5:09]You could be the biggest guy alive, but you have no chance

[5:14]when it comes to the creator of the universe.

[5:19]The dua of a prophet does not go unanswered.

[5:22]Sometimes we make duas and our duas are not answered.

[5:28]And sometimes we complain, why is it that our duas are not

[5:32]answered?

[5:33]Well, first of all, if allahel was to answer every single dua,

[5:36]this would be, you know, every time you know the kid starts

[5:40]throwing stuff around in the house, messing in the kitchen, what does

[5:42]the mom say?

[5:44]And then when two guys fight, this guy does dua against this.

[5:48]When neighbors fight, they start making dua against each other.

[5:51]Alhamdulillah, that most of our duas are not answered.

[5:55][laughter] We'd have big problems if all of our duas were answered.

[5:58]And inshallah, another night we can discuss more into detail on what

[6:01]kinds of duas are answered, how to properly relay your dua such

[6:05]that it ascends into the heavens and to allahel.

[6:10]The dua of a prophet does not go unanswered.

[6:14]And to illustrate this point just a bit more, once during the

[6:19]time of Im peace be upon him.

[6:22]His companions came rushing to his house.

[6:24]They came and they said, "Yeah, we need you right now.

[6:29]If you don't come right now, the Muslim ummah will go astray."

[6:32]What's going on?

[6:35]A Christian man had come and he had invited Muslims to join

[6:39]his faith.

[6:39]And in order for him to prove the superiority of his he

[6:43]could not prove it through logic.

[6:44]I don't think you can prove the trinity through logic.

[6:49]Right?

[6:47]You need faith.

[6:50]Whereas Muslim foundational beliefs do rest on logic.

[6:52]He resorted to using some type of supernatural method.

[6:57]So the imam said, "What is he doing?

[7:00]Why is it that people are being fooled?" They said he goes

[7:05]out in the desert under the clear skies and he raises his

[7:07]hand and he says you know by the power of Jesus by

[7:12]the power of the son of Mary and the rain comes down

[7:14]so people they see this and they start to get shaken they

[7:20]don't know is he on should we follow him the imam says

[7:26]take me to where this man is they go they meet him

[7:30]in the desert the imam says says, "Let me see you making

[7:31]that dua." Clear skies.

[7:35]The antithesis of the weather we have tonight.

[7:38]Clear skies, you know, it's hot as heck.

[7:42]This man raises his hands and it starts pouring.

[7:47]The imam, he knew what was going on.

[7:50]Others, they might have gone fooled, but the imam does not get

[7:55]fooled.

[7:56]He told his companion there's something in his hands.

[7:58]when he raised his hands in dua, he told them, "There's something

[8:04]in his hands.

[8:03]Go give it to me." So they go, they find there's something

[8:07]in his hands, but they don't understand what it is.

[8:09]They bring it to the im.

[8:12]The imam says, "Look, it's bones.

[8:14]This is bones of an old ancient biblical prophet.

[8:18]Somehow this man had acquired these bones and Allah out of honor

[8:25]to the bones of one of his messengers, one of his prophets,

[8:28]he answered this person's request.

[8:31]Such is the sanctity of a prophet that even if someone is

[8:39]not on just out of respect to those bones, the dua will

[8:44]be answered.

[8:44]Thus, Prophet Yun says, "I've reached my melting point, my tipping point.

[8:51]I've had enough.

[8:51]I want to make dua against my community.

[8:54]What do you think?" The the worshipper, the one who spends his

[8:58]nights, you know, reciting, spends his days fasting, he tells the prophet,

[9:06]"I'm with you 100% through thick and thin.

[9:07]Yes, and I will join you in making dua against these people.

[9:11]You know, we've had enough.

[9:11]We enjoin them to do good again and again year after year

[9:17]after year and they don't listen.

[9:18]The He says, "Wait a second.

[9:23]Oh messenger of God, don't be so hasty.

[9:26]You are a prophet.

[9:26]Your dua does not go unanswered.

[9:28]If you make dua against this community, we're done for.

[9:35]And there will be no more room for repentance for Toba.

[9:42]Allahel sometimes he sees us servants as we sin day in and

[9:52]day out.

[9:53]I say tomorrow I'll change my habits.

[9:56]Tomorrow comes I'll say you know what I'll wait till the end

[9:57]of the week.

[9:59]The end of the week comes I'll say the start of the

[10:00]next week and Allah is looking at me all this time.

[10:05]I've not changed my ways.

[10:08]But Allah gives me another chance.

[10:10]He gives me another chance.

[10:11]He gives me another chance.

[10:12]He gives me another chance.

[10:15]He gives me another chance.

[10:17]He gives me another chance.

[10:17]When will I learn?

[10:21]Prophet Ununice.

[10:23]He had enough.

[10:26]So he said, "I will side with the worshipper." The worshipper went

[10:29]with him.

[10:30]They went far away from the city near the shore.

[10:32]And he started making dua against this community.

[10:35]Immediately the people they notice some signs of now the hadith are

[10:43]not exactly clear what happened perhaps an earthquake something else but they

[10:48]immediately know something was going something bad is going to happen to

[10:51]them.

[10:54]The signs of adab start increasing in severity and intensity until they're

[10:58]scared at this point.

[11:01]They know that this might be their last day here.

[11:04]They go out into the desert and they start seeking that scholar.

[11:07]He didn't go with prophet Ununice.

[11:09]He decided to stay back.

[11:12]They said, "Please, please, we know that you are a pious person.

[11:17]You are connected to Allahel.

[11:17]Our prophet is no longer here.

[11:20]We want to change our ways." But it's too late.

[11:26]This worshipper, he tells them, this scholar, he tells them, "We're in

[11:33]the desert.

[11:33]Separate the young from the old.

[11:36]And he even specifically says separate the infant from the mother.

[11:42]Separate the wife from the husband.

[11:43]Why?

[11:44]So that in that moment you feel like you're alone.

[11:46]The mother when the infant child is not nearby, you feel very

[11:52]stressed.

[11:53]That dua becomes more powerful in that moment.

[11:56]So they start crying and they start beseeching Allah.

[11:58]Oh Allah, we know we messed up.

[12:00]You gave us so much time.

[12:05]We saw all the signs that were necessary.

[12:05]We know we messed up.

[12:08]We know it's too late.

[12:12]But oh Allah, we have mercy.

[12:12]We have hope in your mercy.

[12:17]What's astonishing, my dear brothers, sisters, you see some brothers, some sisters

[12:20]in our community, they haven't been on the best behavior.

[12:25]Sometimes they try to do their best, but they'll have some slip-ups

[12:28]here and there and sometimes that'll snowball a bit more and then

[12:31]they'll say, you know what, there's no hope for me.

[12:34]You ask them, why don't you attend the mosque?

[12:36]I'm not someone that's, you know, attends a mosque.

[12:38]Why is it that you no longer play?

[12:40]You no longer do your salah.

[12:43]You know, I really feel like there's no point if these people

[12:52]>> [laughter] >> Man, they destroyed him so much that he wanted

[12:56]to leave the city, leave the country and make dua against them.

[13:02]If even these people had hope in Allah's mercy, who am I

[13:05]to say that I have no hope in Allah's mercy?

[13:07]Now for all the catastrophes I may have done, [laughter] I did

[13:11]not enrage a prophet and send him into exile or self-exile.

[13:16]They start crying and crying and crying and beseeching Allah to stop

[13:23]the signs of and punishment.

[13:25]As this was happening, prophet Ununice peace be upon him, he sees

[13:32]a ship by the shore.

[13:38]In that moment, Allahel decides to answer their duas and the signs

[13:47]of are gone and Allahawel has accepted their repentance and he's offered

[13:53]them his divine forgiveness.

[13:55]A while later, news of this reaches prophet ununice.

[14:00]Prophet Ununice, he's angry.

[14:04]He said, 'You know what?

[14:05]All these years I would preach and preach, I gave everything that

[14:09]I had and that I didn't have for these people.

[14:11]And when I finally had enough, you know, the straw that broke

[14:17]the camel's back, when when I finally had enough, now that they

[14:18]want to repent, I want nothing to do with these people anymore.

[14:20]So he's so angry, he looks at that ship that's docked and

[14:25]he says, I'll just, you know, go so far away from these

[14:27]people, even if it means going into the ocean.

[14:30]So he boards the ship and they set sail.

[14:36]These people, you know, the sailors, they can tell that this is

[14:39]a godly man.

[14:41]This is no normal individual.

[14:41]His tongue is pure.

[14:44]He has the best of mannerisms.

[14:49]He puts others before he puts himself.

[14:51]And just from the way he looks from his face, from the

[14:55]n on his face, they can tell this is no average man.

[14:59]When one day they start experiencing severe waves, they go through a

[15:08]storm and there are extreme waves, they don't know what to do.

[15:11]According to our narrations and you know this is mentioned within the

[15:17]Holy Quran, it's expounded upon by our narrations.

[15:20]So we have no reason to doubt this.

[15:23]According to the narrations, a whale surfaces from the ocean with its

[15:28]mouth wide open.

[15:32]Now, there's been a lot of discussion within Christian circles, Jewish circles,

[15:35]Islamic circles.

[15:36]What kind of whale was it?

[15:38]Back then, maybe they didn't know too much about whale biology, all

[15:41]the types of species of whales.

[15:42]But what kind of whale would be able to swallow a human

[15:50]alive?

[15:51]Now, you'd think probably the biggest whale alive, the blue whale, would

[15:55]be the most likely candidate.

[15:55]But the teeth or the mouth, the opening of a blue whale

[16:01]is very small because the only thing that a blue whale eats

[16:03]is krill.

[16:05]You know, those tiny shrimplike stuff.

[16:06]So, it can't eat something massive.

[16:09]So, although it has the size to be able to swallow human

[16:11]being, it can't really doesn't have the mechanism, you know, its anatomy

[16:14]in order to do so.

[16:16]So some, you know, people who've done some research on this, they

[16:19]say most likely it was a sperm whale because it's still very

[16:22]large and it does eat other, you know, it's a carnivorous.

[16:27]It does eat other animals.

[16:27]So very likely it could have been a sperm whale or any

[16:32]other type of well that was mentioned within the Holy Quran.

[16:36]So a whale emerges.

[16:37]These people, they figured that this whale is hungry and this whale

[16:43]will not stop until it has something to eat.

[16:46]So they say someone has to go overboard.

[16:47]How do we decide who?

[16:50]They say let's do a fair process law.

[16:52]We put someone's name on a piece of paper.

[16:57]We put everyone's paper in a cup and we draw.

[16:59]So they place everyone's names including prophet Ununice in that cup.

[17:04]They draw whose name comes out?

[17:09]Prophet Ununice.

[17:09]According to one narration, the people on the ship said, "No, you

[17:13]know, this person is not someone that you feed to a whale.

[17:17]This is a holy human being.

[17:18]We don't know who he is.

[17:20]We just met him a few days ago, but this is a

[17:21]this is, you know, not a normal human being.

[17:25]This person is more akin to angels than to human beings." So,

[17:30]the hadith says they recast the lot.

[17:33]They draw another name.

[17:35]Who comes out?

[17:35]Prophet Ununice.

[17:37]According to our narrations, for a second time they recast the law.

[17:43]On the third time, whose name came out?

[17:50]Prophet Ununice.

[17:48]Prophet Ununice.

[17:50]His name comes out.

[17:53]Meaning that this is the divine will of God.

[17:55]There's no escaping it.

[17:58]So they say, "We've already done this several times." And they offer

[18:02]Prophet Ununice to the well.

[18:04]The whale swallows Prophet Ununice and it descends to the depths of

[18:07]the ocean.

[18:10]Now my dear brothers and sisters, imagine yourself in three layers of

[18:15]darkness in the pit, the stomach of a whale, in the depths

[18:22]of the ocean.

[18:22]There are areas deep in the ocean if you go deep enough

[18:27]that are darker than caves simply because light cannot penetrate in the

[18:33]midst and darkness of the night.

[18:34]Three layers of darkness says what do you do?

[18:43]Call the coast guard.

[18:46]What are they going to do?

[18:48]Who do you call?

[18:51]Who do you ask?

[18:53]Who do you turn to?

[18:55]Even the biggest Hulk, biggest Dwayne the Rock Johnson is not going

[19:00]to be able to help you.

[19:01]All the militaries of the world with all their might combined, they

[19:04]can't help you.

[19:06]Who can help you in the scenario like this?

[19:12]Only one person can help you.

[19:13]That is Allah.

[19:18]Thus, prophet Ununice from the bottom of his heart, he faces towards

[19:26]Allahel in that moment of distress and he calls out.

[19:39]Immediately when he makes this dua, Allahel answers We have answered his

[19:57]dua and we will save him the same way we will save

[20:01]all believers.

[20:02]What happens next?

[20:04][clears throat] The Quran itself elucidates.

[20:07]Allahh states in the holy Quran prophet Ununas is one of my

[20:15]messengers.

[20:17]He boarded upon that ship headed for the seas.

[20:25]It is at that moment that the whale swallowed him whole and

[20:30]alive.

[20:37]If it not had been for the fact that prophet Ununice was

[20:42]one of the he would do of Allah.

[20:44]He would glorify God.

[20:46]He would mention God's name.

[20:47]Had he not done that, to this day, he would be in

[20:49]the pits of the well's stomach.

[20:53]Don't we believe from our literature, our Islamic literature and our Islamic

[20:58]cannon that Jesus peace be upon him is still alive?

[21:02]He was not crucified.

[21:02]Prophet is still alive.

[21:05]Meaning what?

[21:05]Over a thousand years of existence, perhaps more because he was at

[21:10]the time of prophet Moses peace be upon him and according to

[21:12]some narrations even before that.

[21:13]So maybe over two or three thousand years old.

[21:17]Had prophet Yunis peace be upon him not been amongst the bin

[21:20]to this day he would have been in the pits of the

[21:23]ocean in the pits of the whale.

[21:26]But Allah out of his mercy he decided to answer the dua

[21:31]of prophet ununice.

[21:35]Then the Quran states the whale it came close to the shore

[21:40]and it spit out prophet ununice.

[21:41]He falls on the shore 3 days according to our narrations.

[21:45]He's been in the pits of the whale.

[21:48]He's starving.

[21:46]He's emaciated.

[21:48]We go 16, 17 hours without eating.

[21:51]You know, some people they act like they haven't had food in

[21:54]a week.

[21:55]They're so dramatic.

[21:56]Some people actually pass out.

[21:58]They're not being dramatic.

[21:59]You know, it's tough.

[21:59]Three days he's gone without eating.

[22:02]So, he's very emaciated.

[22:07]He's very weak.

[22:04]What does the Quran say?

[22:10]Allah in that moment grew a type of tree that had something

[22:15]similar to squash, but this was a heavenly fruit, heavenly crop.

[22:21]The moment he took a single bite, he regained all his energy

[22:26]and more.

[22:33]At that moment his followers or his followers you might ask those

[22:39]people in his community who rejected him the mushri who had repented

[22:46]under the leadership of that scholar they decided let's go seek out

[22:51]prophet ununice let's go and repent and seek his forgiveness the moment

[22:54]he was spit out he was welcomed by 100,000 followers those same

[22:58]people that gave him all that hell, all that trouble years ago.

[23:03]They're now his most ardent supporters.

[23:05]Subhan Allah.

[23:05]Prophet Ununice literally went, you know, from rock bottom, like literally in

[23:09]the ocean in the pit of the whale.

[23:14]No supporters.

[23:12]He has no one to turn to.

[23:16]He had to, for God's sake, board a ship just to get

[23:19]away from those people.

[23:18]Allah answered his dua.

[23:21]Not only did he save him, he gave him a community of

[23:23]100,000 believers.

[23:28]Never lose hope in the dua that is directed towards Allahel.

[23:36]You might ask other people for help and they might give all

[23:40]their soul, their blood, their soil, their tears into helping you, but

[23:45]no one can help you like Allahel.

[23:47]No matter what you're going through.

[23:49]Sometimes my dear brothers and sisters, we feel like we're going through

[23:53]so much we can't even speak.

[23:54]Some people say, "I literally feel like my chest is blocked.

[23:57]That's how severe my problems are.

[24:00]Maybe no one else here can understand you.

[24:03]No one else here can help you.

[24:05]Allahel, he can help you.

[24:09]Allah does not turn his back towards you.

[24:12]If you just take that step towards Allah, Allah will take 10

[24:17]towards you.

[24:22]This dua, my dear brothers and sisters, There is no God other

[24:32]than you.

[24:35]There is no God other than you.

[24:39]All glory be to you.

[24:42]I was amongst the the oppressors.

[24:43]This dua, my dear brothers and sisters, is a Quranic dua and

[24:47]it's one of the most powerful dua that we have.

[24:51]a scholar by the name of not from the Shia school of

[24:56]thought he wrote a book in the 4th century in that book

[25:03]he mentions different ways if you're going through severe times how to

[25:07]beseech Allah for help he says this is a tried and true

[25:12]dua for anyone going through any problem and he says I have

[25:15]you know the proof is in the pudding I have a firsthand

[25:19]experience to illustrate this he says one day an issue happened with

[25:23]the local we the local ruler and I had to speak out

[25:28]I used to be patient I didn't want to get on anybody's

[25:32]toes but he did something very impermissible and I had to speak

[25:35]out in the middle of the night that same night I get

[25:38]many knocks on the door and back then you don't want people

[25:42]knocking on your door late at night that's not a good sign

[25:44]you know last night we mentioned poor Andreas and what happened to

[25:49]So, you don't want people knocking at your door late at night.

[25:52]He goes, he opens the door.

[25:52]He sees it's the royal guards.

[25:54]What business do you have at this late hour?

[25:56]They don't even speak to him.

[26:00]They say, "Your presence is demanded." He says, "Okay, just give me

[26:03]a second." They say, "No." They shackle him on the spot and

[26:05]they take him to the royal prison.

[26:08]When he gets there, he says, "Why am I taken here?

[26:11]What's going on?

[26:12]What did I do?" They said, "You spoke out against, you know,

[26:15]the Wii, against the local ruler." and basically you're going to get

[26:21]what's coming.

[26:21]So he says, you know, I I didn't know what to do.

[26:25]You know, I don't have a lawyer that I can call and

[26:28]even if I did, you know, back then wouldn't be very helpful.

[26:30]I don't have I don't have a tribe.

[26:33]I don't have a big family.

[26:36]I don't have an army.

[26:37]What do I do?

[26:40]He says, "In that moment, I turned upwards and I beseeched the

[26:46]only one that I knew for sure could help me." And he

[26:49]says, "I recited the following dua." He says, "I began day in

[27:02]and day out reciting this dua.

[27:03]Night one passes.

[27:06]I sleep in prison.

[27:06]I wake up.

[27:08]Nothing happens.

[27:07]They come and tell me the guards tomorrow you'll get your sentence

[27:10]and you know speaking against the definitely carries the death sentence.

[27:15]He says, "I'm reciting the dua.

[27:20]I'm reciting the dua with full full absolute certainty that Allah will

[27:25]answer." Night two, I wake, I sleep, I wake up, nothing happens.

[27:28]On the third night, he said, "I slept that night fully relaxed."

[27:34]That whatever happens, it's in Allah's knowledge.

[27:37]He says, "I wake up, a guard approaches me.

[27:41]He says, look, I don't know what you did.

[27:43]I don't know what kind of connections you have.

[27:46]I don't know who you called, but you know you've got some

[27:49]big connections and you're free to go.

[27:51]He says they opened the gate and I was free to go.

[27:57]He says this is a firsthand experience that I had.

[28:00]Secondly, my dear brothers and sisters, what does the Quran state?

[28:11]This dua is not specific to prophet peace be upon him and

[28:17]likewise we will save all believers.

[28:20]So this dua is a tool that Allah has given us when

[28:25]we really experience calamities when we go through difficult trials we seek

[28:30]refuge in this dua.

[28:33]There is a hadith from Im peace be upon him in which

[28:39]he states I'm surprised that someone they're wary they go through some

[28:48]difficulties and they don't resort to this verse.

[28:49]This is a powerful verse my dear brothers and sisters and another

[28:55]narration attributed to he says this dua it's very short one line

[29:03]he says this is the dua of anyone going through trials you

[29:14]have no other recourse you're going through a problem and you've tried

[29:17]everything and nothing is working We resort to this dua.

[29:32]You recite this dua on a Thursday night.

[29:35]Kind of like last night after the prayer.

[29:40]You do your prayer.

[29:41]You do your prayer on a Thursday night.

[29:43]This is when you recite this dua.

[29:51]Hussein is stating where did he hear this hadith from?

[29:56]He says I heard it from my father Im Bakr peace be

[30:00]upon him who heard it from his father Imam Zim peace be

[30:05]upon him who heard it from his father Im Hussein peace be

[30:07]upon him who heard it from his brother Im Hass peace be

[30:13]upon him who heard it from who heard it from I would

[30:25]like to do a quick discussion inshallah we won't take too long

[30:29]into some other duas that we have supplications that we can use

[30:33]when we are in times of immense need.

[30:35]We've tried every possible normal way to get out of you know

[30:42]the rut and nothing is working.

[30:43]we resort to these hadith these duas found within our hadith literature.

[30:48]The first is a dua narrated by Imam Sadik.

[30:52]He says this is the dua of prophet Ysef.

[30:56]So we were talking about prophet Ununice all this time with the

[31:00]well.

[31:01]He says this is the dua of prophet Ysef.

[31:03]If you've seen the prophet Ysef series, you know, over 40 episodes,

[31:07]this is his dua when he fell in the well.

[31:10]According to our hadith, Prophet Ysef, peace be upon him.

[31:14]He would go to other children, to other families, and he would

[31:17]brag.

[31:18]He'd say, "Look at all the brothers that I have.

[31:21]You guys want to mess with me, you have to go through

[31:22]them first." He said, "I would brag about them." When his brothers

[31:32]started beating him up, they started viciously attacking him.

[31:36]They saw him laughing.

[31:39]They said, "This is not a time to laugh.

[31:40]You know, this is a serious matter.

[31:43]Why are you laughing?" He said, "Now you're treating me this way,

[31:46]but before I would brag about you.

[31:48]I was the happiest younger brother that I had such wonderful older

[31:52]brothers." And I'm just laughing that this is how it ends up.

[31:56]They throw him in the well.

[31:59]Now imagine like a 13, 12, according to his sonations, even 11

[32:02]year old falls deep in a well.

[32:05]No iPad, no satellite, no internet.

[32:10]What do you have?

[32:11]You have some scorpions.

[32:12]Maybe you have some insects and you have pitch black darkness.

[32:18]This is a kid.

[32:17]This is a young kid.

[32:21]What kind of despair must this poor young child have gone through?

[32:27]At that moment, Gibbrael, peace be upon him, comes down.

[32:31]He tells him, "Oh, Ysef, I'm an angel of Allah.

[32:35]Would you like me to help you?

[32:37]He says no.

[32:37]Imagine.

[32:37]Imagine you see and it's proven to you that an angel has

[32:42]come and that angel is willing to help you.

[32:45]And this is a godsend.

[32:45]Literally, he says no.

[32:48]He says, "Why?" He says, "Because I feel that Allahel, this is

[32:53]the trial that he has for me." He goes back up again

[32:57]and he comes down and he says, "Oh, allahel says, if you

[33:02]want to be saved, recite the following dua." And he says, "Saydul,

[33:12]oh Allah, I ask you by the fact that all praise belongs

[33:17]to you.

[33:18]There is no god but you, the most generous.

[33:26]the originator of the heavens and the earth and the possessor of

[33:33]majesty and honor and that you send your peace and blessings upon

[33:44]Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad.

[33:46]This is the dua of prophet Ysef peace be upon him.

[33:55]and to grant me from the situation that I am in relief

[33:59]and a way out.

[34:00]At that moment is when that caravan arrived and they saw someone,

[34:05]a young child was left in that well and they helped him

[34:09]out.

[34:09]A second dua, my dear brothers and sisters, this is attributed to

[34:12]Al-Mansur, one of the caiffs of the Abbasid era.

[34:17]He was at the time very upset with the Imam Allah peace

[34:26]be upon him.

[34:26]Why?

[34:26]Allah has no army.

[34:29]He has no kingdom.

[34:30]But he has the hearts of the people.

[34:32]And he was upset that no matter how much he tried to

[34:37]imprison, to oppress, to poison, to kill all his enemies and establish

[34:43]his power, you know, his homogeneous power, there's no use.

[34:48]People, their hearts still heads towards the imam.

[34:51]So one day he tells one of his companions, he says, "Go

[34:57]and get me this im.

[34:59]I've had enough.

[34:58]Today is the day that I will get rid of him." says,

[35:02]"I've never seen his face so filled with evil, so angry." And

[35:08]he said, "Prepare the safe one.

[35:10]Prepare the sword.

[35:09]I've had enough.

[35:11]I'm going to end him today." So the guards, they call, they

[35:14]call the imam.

[35:16]Rab says, "When the doors opened and I saw the imam walking,

[35:18]his lips were moving." He goes, he sits by the caiff.

[35:26]He had told, "I'll give you a sign, some type of sign,

[35:30]a clap, something.

[35:31]When I give you that sign, you come from behind and you'll

[35:33]behead him." He says, "I'm on edge.

[35:35]I'm waiting." What are they talking about?

[35:38]What's going on?

[35:39]He says, "I waited a couple minutes, 5 minutes, no sign.

[35:42]10 minutes, no sign.

[35:45]What's going on?" He says, "An hour passes by.

[35:46]At the end, I see them both get up and he's farewelling

[35:49]the Imam and the IM leaves." What happened?

[35:52]That's not the plan.

[35:52]So he says, "When the Imam passed outside the gates, I rushed

[35:58]after him." I told him, "Oh imam, I saw you.

[36:00]When you walked in, your lips were moving.

[36:00]What did you say?" The im at first was reluctant.

[36:03]He didn't want to answer.

[36:06]I kept on insisting insisting.

[36:08]He said, "When I walked in and I saw how his face

[36:10]was filled with evil, I recited the following dua.

[36:27]This is such a beautiful dua.

[36:31]I'll conclude with this.

[36:32]Just listen to the lines that the im has imparted to us.

[36:37]My lord is sufficient for me against all created beings.

[36:39]Why go to the when you can go to the doesn't make

[36:46]sense.

[36:47]Go straight to the source.

[36:48]My creator is sufficient for me against all creations.

[36:52]You go to the creation to help you when you can ask

[36:57]the creator.

[36:57]Those polytheists, how is it that prophet Abraham was able to convince

[37:00]them?

[37:01]He said, "You create something.

[37:03]It's your creation." Now, at least human beings, we're all equally the

[37:08]creation of God.

[37:07]You create something and then you ask it to help you.

[37:12]Nonsensical.

[37:12]Why go to the creation when you can go to the creator?

[37:15]My provider is sufficient for me against all who are provided for.

[37:36]Beautiful dua imparted to us by the im.

[37:40]He says, "Sufficient for me is the one who has always been

[37:45]sufficient for me." My dear brothers and sisters, has there ever been

[37:48]a time when your was not distributed?

[37:51]Have any of us here in this room starved to death, died

[37:56]out of thirst, out of hunger?

[37:59]Alhamdulillah, from the day we were born to this day, we might

[38:03]have gone through some trials, but Allah has given us subsistence.

[38:05]He's given us shelter.

[38:08]He's given us everything we need to survive and to thrive.

[38:11]If all this time and without even me actively and consciously thinking

[38:16]about it and beseeching Allah, Allah has given me, why in my

[38:19]moment of need do I turn to someone other than Allah?

[38:22]I just have to go back to the source, back to the

[38:24]provider.

[38:26]Allah has sufficient for me.

[38:29]There is no god but him.

[38:30]Upon him I rely and he is the lord of the mighty

[38:36]throne.

[38:35]My dear brothers and sisters, these are duas imparted to us by

[38:40]the holy Quran by our the progyny of Muhammad and Muhammad.

[38:44]These duas we beseech when we go in need.

[38:48]All of us will have moments when we feel so stressed we

[38:53]feel like we're carrying mountains.

[38:54]We don't have to go through this alone.

[38:55]My dear brothers and sisters, know that no matter what your problem

[38:59]is, it could be so deep, so personal, so sensitive, you can't

[39:02]even tell your spouse, you can't tell your mom about it.

[39:05]That's okay.

[39:07]There is someone that you can always turn to.

[39:10]And that is Allahel.

[39:12]May Allah subh always accept our dua.

[39:15]May Allah subhanaa tala ease our burdens and ease our bal.

[39:19]May Allah subhana wa ta'ala bring his ease and comfort to Muslims

[39:22]all across the globe especially those in Palestine, those in Afghanistan, those

[39:28]in Iraq, Iran, Sudan, wherever they may be, if they are an

[39:31]adherent of the faith of Islam, if they are an adherent of

[39:36]the progeny of Muhammad al Muhammad, may Allah subhana tala send upon

[39:40]them his ease and his mercy.

[39:41]May Allahh send his mercy upon our those who have attended tonight,

[39:46]those who couldn't make it, those who are ill.

[39:48]May Allah send his shifa and healing to them.

[39:51]And for our let us all recite.

[39:54]Before that, Muhammad >> [music] >> Here I am.
