SUPPLICATION 1 INSERT QURANIC AYAH “Our Lord! Give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and defend us from the torment of the Fire!”
Top of pg 21 INSERT QURANIC AYAH 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
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
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
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?
LOVINGLY ACCEPT MY SUPPLICATION! Because supplication started individually!
FORGIVE ME! WALI WAALIDAYA-4 WORDS Wa- and
li-for waaliday-parents ya-my
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!
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
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
You have abawaan, Abba-dad Ummi-mom
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
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
ITS ABOSIULTY TRUE WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS you realize
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
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 SUPPLICATION 3 PAGE 22.
ONE OF MY FAVORITE SUPPLICATIONS ALLAHUMA- O ALLAH INNI- MOST DEFINETLY ! DHALAMTU- ROOT IS dhulm (oppression) root of the word means in Arabic TO PUT SOMETHING WHERE IT DOESN’T BELONG, to MISAPPROPRIATE is dhulm Allah says shirkh is DHULM ADHEEM because you misappropriate Allah’s right to be worshiped and you give it to someone else Oppression is misappropriating the rights of people Committing sins is also dhulm BECAUSE YOU ARE misappropriating time, energy, intelligence and so many blessings that you were given by Allah TO SERVE ALLAH. DHALAMTU- I HAVE WRONGED (past tense) significant because past tense CONFIRMS IT! THIS PERSON IS CONFIRMING IT You know someone does something wrong and they say “its possible it was my fault” he is not really accepting it, he is talking around it And its another thing to say “I WAS WRONG” Dhalamtu I HAVE DONE WRONG, CONFIRMED FACT Who have I done it against? NAFSEE- MYSELF I HAVE WRONGED MESELF DHULMAN KATHEERAN! We hard this in hamdan katheera… AN AN AN Its an exclamation mark! Its creating that exclamation
I HAVE DONE WRONG TO MYSELF HORRIBLE THINGS! KATHEERAN- I HAVE DONE HORRIBLE THINGS, AND LOTS AND LOTS OF THEM
THIS PERSON IS SAYING I AM A BAD PERSON, NO BEETING AROUND THE BUSH, I HAVE DONE WRONG, I AM NOT EVEN GOING TO TRY TO DENY IT HE IS ACCEPTING HE IS A CRIMINAL IN FRONT OF ALLAH
GHAFARA- AND NO ONE CAN FORGIVE ADHUNOOB- MEANS sins IT’S THE PLURAL DHAMB is singular DHAMB means sin But when noon and ba come together, you pronounce NOON like MEEM This word comes from same root as THANAB (tail) The word for sin comes from same word as tail of animal Whats the connection with sins and tail? WHEN EVER THE CAT RUNS THE TAIL FOLLOWS IT ALONG Tail follows It’s visual tool of the language! Arabic language is very visual Imagery built into these words IMAGINE, JUST LIKE THE CAT RUNS THE TAIL RUNS BEHIND IT THE PSYCOLOGY OF HUMAN BEING IS SUCH SHAYTAAN tells humans you commit sin and you LEFT sin behind The WORD FOR SIN REMIND US, THE SIN WASN’T LEFT IN THE ROOM IT WAS COMMITTED, IT IS FOLLWING YOU WHERE EVER YOU GO!
AND NO ONE CAN FORGIVE EXCEPT FOR YOU! Listen to this statement We have said, I have messed up a lot, KATHEERAN And then we are saying NO one CAN FORGIVE SINS EXCEPT YOU
He begins with that. We begin by saying THERE IS NO ONE WHO CAN FORGIVE SINS EXCEPT YOU ITS THAT DESPERAION THE HELPLESSNESS!
Fa- so, therefore IGHFIRLEE- forgive me
The AN is there COMPLETEEEEE FORGIVENESS WIPE MY SLATE CLEAN! MIN- from ENDA- near or behalf KA- your FROM YOUR BEHALF, from near you doesn’t make sense, There are EXPRESSIONS, figures of speech and to assume you can word for word dissect and get understanding is a huge misconception MIN ENDEK MEANSvAS A FAVOR FROM YOU COMPLETY FORGIVE ME, WIPE MY SLATE CLEAN, AS A FAVOR FROM YOU! Even in this is a lesson I CANNOT DEMAND THIS FORGIVEBESS, I AM NOT DESERVING OF IT, BUT I AM BEGGING, I AM PLEADING, DO IT AS FAVOR FROM YOU
MEANS CONSTANTLY FORGIVE MOST DEFINITELY YOU AND ONLY YOU CAN CONSTANTLY FORGIVE
O ALLAH pleasE forgive me constantly RAHEEM- CONSTANTLY MERCIFUL You see a correlation of forgiveness and mercy, there is a connection! O ALLAH MOST DEFINITELY I HAVE WRONGED MY SELF IN A HORRIBLE WAY OVER AND OVER AGAIN THERE IS NO ONE ESLE I CAN GO TO FOR FORGIVENESS OTHER THAN YOU O ALLAH I BEG YOU, I PLEAD YOU, WIPE MY SLATE CLEAN BECAUSE ONLY YOU AND ONLY YOU CAN CONSTANTLY FORIGIVE AND CONSTANTLY GIVE MERCY Here comes the catch, mind-blowing point, Prophet taught this to WHO? ABU BAKR!! THE BEST OF THE BEST! Prophet told him YOUUUUUUU READ THIS SUPPLICATION EVERYR TIME YOU PRAY IF HEEEEE NEEDED THE SUPPLICATION, WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU AND I STAND??????! 4.04 TASLIM Saying salaam is just a method for existing prayer When in jamaat you are doing it to people in congregation When you are by yourself you are doing it to the angels 4.05 SUPPLICATION AND REMEMBRANCE AFTER TASLIM PG23
DUAS THAT CAN BE READ AFTER SALAH Some things the Prophet pbuh taught us specific things to do after prayer ASTIFGRIHGULLAH- THREE TIMES Root word is GHA FA RA- Letter Seen and Letter ta added to it means SEEKING, WANTING SOMETHING ASTAGHFIROO I seek Forgiveness WE JUST FINISHED AN ACT FO OBEDIENCE, AT THE END WE SAY I SEEK FORGIVENESS!! WHY?
Because of the MISTAKES we made in salah This is an important lesson on HOW we worship Afterwards we don’t feel like we have done a lot! YOU NEED TO BE HUMBLE, How you SHOULD HAVE prayed and how you actually prayed are world apart, as Allah to accept what ever you could do and forgive the mistakes and shortcomings.
An ATTRIBUTE of Allah is ASSALAM- THE ONE WHO IS THE GRANTER OF PEACE AND SAFETY, THE ONE WHO GIVES AND GRANTS ISLAM and MUSLIMS ISLAM- means to submit, Muslim is one who submits How does submit come from peace and safety? BECAUSE THE ONLY WAY TO ATTAIN PEACE AND SAFETY IS TO SUBMIT TO ALLAH. THAT’S HOW WE GET TRUE PEACE and TRUE SAFETY The Prophet pbuh would send letters to kings and other leaders and include AS-LIM TASLA(submit, you will become safe) SOOLUM- mean stairs What do stairs or ladders have to do with safety? The classical arabs would sometimes names things based on how they felt about them, they felt words were powerful, if we gave certain names, they would have effects on them. Around ladders/stairs, people can fall, people can get hurt so they want people to be careful around ladders/stairs. So when they looked at stairs or ladders, they named it as SAFETY, every time you say it , it comes from safety so it reminded person going up and down stairs to CONSTANTLY be safe
AND FROM YOU IS ASSLAAAM (PEACE N SAFETY) TABAARAKTA- comes from baraqaho it’s a VERB, it means MOST BLESSED ARE YOU! YA- O DHA- the possessor of AL JALAAL- means MAGNIFECENCE, SPLENDOR, WAL IKRAAM- means nobility, O ALLAH YOU ARE THE GRANTER OF PEACE AND SAFTEY, IT ONLY COMES FROM YOU , MOST BLESSED ARE YOU, O GRANTER AND POSSESOR, OF MAGNIFICENCE AND NOBILITY Skipped supplication 4 on page 23 SUPPLICATION 5 Pg.24
SUBHANALLAH- HOW AMAZINGLY PERFECT IS ALLAH! WALHAMDULILLAH- and THE ULTIMATE PRAISE IS FOR ALLAH! HE IS DESERVING OF ALL PRAISE ALLAHUAKBAR- ALLAH IS GREATER THAN ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING (say 33 times each) 34 times if for sleeping
Ila- except for Allah-
Hu- is he LA- the special La, SHAREEKA- PARNTERS LA HU- for him LAHUL MULK- DOMINON ONLY FOR HIM IS THE DOMINION AND KINGSHIP WALAHULHAMD- and only for him is ALL PRAISE WA HU WA- and Hu wa- He AND HE IS
The word for total is JAEE’ in classical Arabic the word KUL when used in certain ways it means EACH AND EVERY SINGLE SHAY IN- thing EACH AND EVERYSINGLE THING WAHUWA- AND HIS IS
THE ONE WHO IS CONSTATNLY CAPABLE AND ABLE TO DO WHATEVER AND HE IS OVER EACH AND EVERY SINGLE THING, CONSTANTLY CAPABLE Each and every single is FINE TUNED in the language. Quran language is VERY FINE TUNED, it doesn’t leave any gaps! THIS CONCLUDES THE STUDY OF THE CORE OF SALAH WE INTRDUCED WHAT DOES SALAH MEANS, IMPORTANCE OF SALAH, IMPORTANCE OF KHUSHOO WE DID TAKBIR THEN OPENING SUPPLICATIONS THEN WE DID AUTHUBILLAH THEN WE DID BASMALA THEN WE DID SURAH FATIHA THEN WE DID RUKU THEN WE DID STANDING UP FROM RUKU THEN WE DID SUJOOD THEN WE DID SITTING BETWEEN SUJOOD- THEN ATIYHYAAT THEN WE SEND SALAAM ON PROPHET THEN WE DID DUA SUPPLICAITONS THEN WE DID DUAS AFTER SALAH
Top of page 25 There is a difference of opinion with what is read There are 2 narrations One is from Abdullah ibn Masood Second comes from Hasan, the grandson of the Prophet pbuh First Narration- qunoot means “complete, total , obedience” ALLAHUMA- O ALLAH INNNAA- MOST DEFINITELY WE (PLURAL) INNAAAA NASTAEENUUKA NASTAEEN- SEEK ASSITANCES WE SEEK ASSITANCE FROM KA (YOU) WE SEEK ASSISTANCE FROM YOU INNA NASTEENUKA
We believe in BI KA- IN YOU Ba is used to be more firmly WE FIRMLY BELIEVEIN YOU WA NA TA WAKALU- comes from root wa ka la which literally means TO LEAN ON SOMETHING, (wa kaltu) FROM THAT COMES WORD wakeel (YOU LEAN ON HIM TO REPESENT YOU AND SPEAK ON HIS BEHALF TAWAKUL – comes from same root It’s a form of word that implies STRUGGLE, WE STRUGGLE TO RELY ON YOU TO LEAN ON YOU Meaning its not just a one shot thing, its something people struggle with. We keep on trying ALAYKA- UPON YOU When you lean on something, you put YOUR WHOLE WEIGHT ON IT, it releives you! You throw all your weight on wall, you don’t want chair It relaxes you It relives you WE PUT OUR TRUST COMPLETLY ON ALLAH!! Its meant to relax you, to make your life simpler WA NUSTHNEE- root word is THANAA- means to stack, to fold WE STACK, we fold, we ATTRIBUTE, WE COMPLETY DEDICATE and acknowledge ALAYKA- upon you WE ARE STACKING ALKHAIR- THAT WHICH IS GOOD (general word for good) ALL GOOD! WE ATTRIBUTE TO YOU, WE ACKNOWLEDGE ALL GOOD COMES FROM ALLAH, WE STACK IT ON TO HIM, WE ATTRIBUTE IT TO HIM,
The word KHAYR in interesting It’s the opposite of SHAR In its origin, even the sound of it KHAYR is when things are consolidated, organized Shar is when things are spread out If you walk into room and there are papers all over the place, across the room, it bothers you! You see papers EVERYWHERE it will bother you, Imagine all those papers are neatly stacked and folded all into the middle of the room on the table, its ORGANIZATION, CLEANLINESS, its appealing, KHAYR means something is organized, good SHAR is spread out, its disorganized, no organization. WA NASHKURUKA- Nashkuruka comes from root word SHUKR which means to be grateful, thankful, WE ARE GRATEFUL TO YOU, TO ALLAH,
KUFR in its origin refers to sowing a seed, The process of farming, they turn soil, put seeds in ground KUFR MEANS TO PUSH SOMETHING UNDER, PUSH SOMETHING INSIDE (like seed) You stuffed it under, That’s what kufr means Then in terms of gratefulness, it means UNGRATEFUL Farmer is called kaafir, even Quran used it in that tone Because what are we supposed to do with blessing? We are supposed to say ALHUMDULLILAH. When someone is ungrateful they are HIDING THE BLESSING OF ALLAH and not acknowledging that favor bestowed upon them In faith and imaan, it means to disbelieve, he is suppressing and hiding his true nature (fitrah) WALAANASHKURKA WALAA NAKFURUKA- WE WILL NOT BE UNGRATEFUL TO YOU (NORAML LA) WA NAKHLAOO- KH LA a’ mean to remove something that is attached to you When Prophet Musa walked into the valley fakhlaa (remove your shoes) was used WE DETACH, WE REMOVE
Ka- you
Yafjuruka root word FAJR , means BREAK SOMETHING OPEN, SMASH SOMETHING OPEN, RIP SOMETHING OPEN, The time for fajr is called that because DARKNESS is BROKEN OPEN, darkness is ripped apart FUJOOR- type of sinning in which he OPENINGLY SINS, ARROGANTLY SINS to a point where he does it openly without ANY remorse he’s like SO WHAT, what are you going to do about it. YAFJURKU- the one who OPENLY, UNABASHIDLY, VERY OPENELY INTENTIONALLY DISOBEYS YOU WE DETACH THIS TYPE OF PERSON AND WALK AWAY, LEAVE THEM BEHIND Important lesson! Especially for younger brothers and sisters IMPORTANCE OF THOSE AROUND YOU THE COMPANY YOU KEEP, THE PEOPLE YOU ASSOCIATE YOURSELF WITH, THE PEOPLE YOU REMAIN IN, We are so concerned with dawah, nasiha, giving dawah, but do NOT let it be at the expense of your own imaan!!!! His teacher said when you give nasiha to someone, if you are not having an effect on them, then realize THEY are having an effect on you! SOMEONE IS WINNING, THERE CANNOT BE TWO LOSERS, SOMEONE IS GETTING THE UPPER HAND! IF YOU ARE NOT RUBBING OFF ON THEM, IF YOU HAVE BEEN HANGING OUT WITH THEM THEN REALIZE THEY ARE RUBBING OFF ON YOU! WE WILL DETACH OURSELVES, AND REMOVE OURSELVES FROM PEOPLE THAT WILL VERY OPENLY, just don’t care, very intentionally sin Almost like they are BRAGGING, with them we keep a distance from them!
Parents are very concerned about their youth, about the company they keep but problem is THEY are not willing to watch their own company! So we will have free mixing parties and the second I see my son talking to girl, it’s the end of the world. My children better not even think about it!... What about me?
TILL THIS DAY WHEN HE WAS BORN THE WAS PEOPLE AROUND THAT TIME, there were few family we were close with, but there was certain thing in their lives they would do like sing, smoking drinking, cursing, So we used to stay away from them We need to keep like minded company

ADHAAB mean punishment KA- YOUR ADHAAB-
I have need to connect word to root But adhaab was a word where he couldn’t find root Adhaab means punishment Comes from root word ADHBOON (means for something to be very very sweet) What does sweetness have to do with punishment? Arabic is very structured language! But even Arabic is a language, it is people based Sometimes certain words becomes FREE FROM ROOTS There is no logical conclusion It just completely spins off In this case that’s what happened Language is people based The language has a lot of logical things in it Broken plurals INA- most definitely ADHAABAKA- your punishment BIL KUFAAR- the plural of kaafir DISBELEIVERS those that are ungrateful BA- with MOST DEFINITELY YOUR PUNISHEMENT WITH DISBIEVERS (UNGRATEFUL PEOPLE IS
