This supplication is also Quranic supplication from Surah Ibrahim

RABI- my lord, my master

You are calling out, my lord!

IJALNEE-

IJAL- make

NEE- me

MAKE ME
MUQEEM- comes from MUSTAQEEM! Upright, to make something straight

THE ONE WHO ESTABLISHES, THE ONE WHO MAKES STRAIGHT

MAKE ME THE TYPE OF PERSON WHO ESTABLISHES

SALAH!

ESTABLSHES PRAYER

WA MIN- and from
DHURYITEE-

Dhuriytun- PROGENY, generations to come,

ee-my
O ALLAH MY LORD MAKE ME SOMEONE WHO ESTABLISHES THE PRAYER AND MAKE MY PROGENY ALSO THOSE TYPE OF PEOPLE
RABANA- O LORD, O MASTER

NAA- OUR!

Our lord, our master

WHEN WE STARTED IT SAID MY

NOW ITS SAYING OUR

Because we started off making dua for ourselves

THEN we made dua for progeny

NOW COLLECTIVELY, together
WATAQABAL DUA- comes from root word QABL, meaning IN FRONT

Qablahu- before it

Istiqbal- to receive or welcome someone, because you face them

Tabqbeel- to kiss, you face something when you kiss it

Wa taqbal- face off, completion

LOVINGLY ACCEPT is what it means

It uses the word TO FACE SOMETHING is where love comes from

If you brought something, and I don’t even look at you and say “k, leave it on the table” what type of impression would you have, what is my relationship with you and what you are giving?

What if I take it facing you?
MY LORD, MY MASTER

LOVINGLY ACCEPT MY SUPPLICATION!

Because supplication started individually!
RABANA- our Lord!

FORGIVE ME!

WALI WAALIDAYA-4 WORDS

Wa- and

li-for

waaliday-parents

ya-my
AND FOR MY PARENTS

Forgive me AND FORGIVE MY PARENTS

Why did it go back from collective to singular?

Because Quranic language is very precise.

WE ARE ASKING FORGIVENESS FOR SINS, is there such a thing as collective sins? No its individual,

WHEN WE ASK FOR FORGIVENESS IT SHIFTS BACK TO INDIVIDUAL

WHEN WE ASK FOR PARENTS,DO WE ALL HAVE SAME PARENTS? NO IT SHIFTS BACK TO INDIVIDUAL!
WORDS USED FOR OUR PARENTS

There are 2 words

Walidaan/waalidayn

Abawaan/abiwayn

Both words mean parents

There is a rhetorical function in classical arabic

If there are 2 separate words that are constantly mentioned together over and over again, all the time, like sun and moon, sun and moon, sun and moon, etc. It beings to get tedious, so what you do is you take ONE of the words, what ever is easier to work with and you put it into the DUAL form, the PAIR form, like QAMR, so it would be QAMRAIN looks like 2 moons, but it really means SUN AND MOON
Another example:

AbuBakr and Umar, you talk about them a lot, you constantly talk about them together,

So you can do something

You can take the one easier to work with say

UMAR is short, and you put it into its dual form

And you say

Umraan (MEANS 2 umars) – it doesn’t mean 2 Umars but it really means AbuBakr and Umar

When you read umraan you know it talks about Abu bakr as well.

HASAN and HUSAYN, if you say that a lot its gets difficult so you take one that is easier to work with

And say HASNAAyn – it really means hasan AND husayin

THIS IS THE FUNCTION OF language
SIMILAIRY for parents,

You have abawaan,

Abba-dad

Ummi-mom
Over and over again, ab um ab um

So you take ab

And make into dual form

You get ABAWAAN (two dads)

Looks like 2 fathers but really it means FATHER AND MOTHER.

Walidaan/walidayn

Comes from root word WA LA DA means to give birth.

Who gives birth? MOTHER

She is called WAAALIDAH,

Father is called waalid by extension
Instead of constantly saying waalid, waalidah over and over again

You can make its dual form which is waalidayn(father and mother)

ABA WAAN points MORE towards the dad

Waalidayn points more towards the mom (Because root of word birth)

IN THE QURAN, ALLAH TELLS US TO BE GOOD TO OUR PARENTS

TO HONOR OUR PARENTS

TO MAKE DUA FOR OUR PARENTS

WHICH word does Allah use? WAALDAYN! Saying be good to your parents and be little more good to your MOTHER

And when Allah talks about inheritance, Allah used the ABAWAYN!

When taking about financial responsibly, Allah uses the word ABAWAYN

When he talks about forgiveness and kindness , and mercy, Allah uses the word walidayn
ALLAH STARTS SURAH…(get which surah it is)

In the middle, Allah talks about mother carrying child, difficulty over difficulty, then delivering the child

After born its not over, the hardship continues.

It clings to the mother

The child is stuck to the mother for at least 2 years

Cannot clean itself,

Cannot feed itself

Allah mentions the age

When our mothers gave THE MOST for us, went through the hardest time- we don’t remember!!!

We don’t remember when we were born

We don’t remember our Infancy

When our mother would literally LIVE FORRR US

Eat

Sleep

THIER ENTIRE LIVES REVOLVED AROUND US

WE DON’T REMEMBER THAT!

As we get older our needs get more and more attached to our fathers

First time you need cell phone, who do you ask? Father

First time you want to drive, get a laptop, etc who do you ask? Father

Then we are very grateful to our dads

BUT ALL THAT OUR MOTHER’S GAVE US WE DON’T REMEMBER

AND because of their loving nature, WE MORE EASILY TAKE OUR MOTHERS FOR GRANTED

SubhanAllah, mothers are strangest of creation ,there is no logic in being a mother.
You can be bad, rude, mean,

Disrespectful

She could be yelling at you but she will still be cooking your food

They have that undying love

They cant help but care
Parents say a lot to their kids ”when you have children you will realize”

ITS ABOSIULTY TRUE

WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS you realize
For sisters when you have kids you realize and appreciate mother much more

Brothers you will look at your wife and how dedicated and devoted she is to your child, and you’ll realize MY MOTHER DID THIS FOR ME AS WELL

When my older daughter was a year old, she got sick, and my wife was sick at the same time, I said don’t worry I will take care of her, you go rest

She said NO, I will take care of her

When you realize, subhanAllah THIS IS HOW DEDICATED OUR MOTHER WAS
WA LILMUMiNEENA-

AND ALL THE BELEIVERS

Lets talk about the word mumin (mumineena is plural)

Comes from root of IMAAN, comes from root A-MAN (means security, feel safe and secure, feel peace, safety)

Imaan comes from IMAAN as root meaning for believing

BECAUSE WHEN WE PUT OUR IMAAN IN ALLAH WE GET A SENSE OF SECURITY

This is important to tell youth, there is a lot of DISPARIGING of religion, they say religion is for weak minded people, they say you are TRAPPED in the religion, its a jail, its a psychological prison, IMAAN FREES YOU, imaan makes your life so much better and lifts so many worries and burdens.
You realize NOT EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON ME!

I PUT MY IMAAN IN ALLAH, NOW I LIVE A WORRY FREE LIFE, ALL I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IS WHATMAKE ALLAH HAPPY, I JUST DO WHAT EVER MY LORD TELLS ME TO. That’s it

MUMIN is one who believes, HE HAS ATTAINED A SENSE OF SECURITY BY PUTTING HIS FAITH AND TRUST IN ALLAH
YAWMA- the day of

YAKOOM- it will be ESTBALISHED,

AL HISAAB- means accountability
It is different from counting

Hisaab means TO VERY ACCURATELY AND PRECISELY COUNT EVERYTHING
