Second Narration Any of the LA in this are ALL THE NORMAL LA ALLAHHUHA- o Allah IHDINEE- GUIDE ME FEE MAN- Fee-In (amongst) Mann-those who THE ONES WHO O ALLAH GUIDE ME AMONGST THOSE WHO HADAYTA- you have guided (its in past tense) GUIDE ME AMONG THOSE WHOM YOU HAVE GUIDED WA AAAFINEE- REMOVE HARM AWAY FORM ME SO REMOVE HARM AWAY FROM ME Aafiyah- means to remove harm way from something
AMONGST THOSE WHOM YOU HAVE REMOVED HARM AWAY FROM (PAST TENSE) WA TA WALLANEE- Comes from root word WALI- translated as friend not acquaintance WALI means A TRUSTED ALLY, someone you are on the SAME page with You have full confidence and trust in that person MAKE ME YOUR TRUSTED ALLY, ALLY ME
TAWALYTA- among those people whom you have ALLIED in the past JUST like those you have made allies in the past WA BAARIKLEE Baarik- comes from baraqa AND GRANT BLESSINGS TO ME FOR ME
A’TAYTA- in that which you have given GRANT BLESSINGS TO ME IN THAT WHICH YOU HAVE ALREADY GIVEN IN THE PAST WA QI KNEE- PROTECT ME SHARA- FROM THE EVEIL OF MA- THAT WHICH QADAYTA- means that which you have decreed PROTECT ME FROM THE EVIL THAT YOU HAVE DECREED QADHA is root word, means TO DECIDE SOMETHING, but you have the ability to ENFORCE that decision That’s why QAADHI- is judge, he not only has ability to make decision but also has power to ENFORCE that decision! DECREE
YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN DECREE ANYTHING WALAA YUQDAA- this is passive, And it cannot be decreed UPON YOU YOU ARE THE ONE THAT MAKES DECISIONS,NO ONE CAN DECIDE ANYTIHNG UPON YOU
HE IS HYPOTHETICAL PERSON LA YADHILUU- DHILLA means HELPLESS Allah says to sahabah” we helped you in place of badr” Dhaleel , they were helpless, no armor, no food, INNAHU LAYADHIL MOST DEFINITELY THAT PERSON DOES NOT FEEL HELPLESS MAN- THE ONE WHO WAA LAYTA- WHOM YOU HAVE BEFREINDED IF ALLAH MAKES SOMEONE HIS FRIEND, HIS ALLY, WILL THAT PERSON EVER FEEL HELPLESS? Nooo never WA LAAY A IDHA and that person will NEVER feel confident MAN AAADAYTA- made enemy of IF ALLAH MAKES SOMEONE ENEMY, THEY ARE FINISHED TABAARAKTA- you are most blessed ya Allah WA TALAYTA- YOU ARE most EXALTED, most HIGH O LORD! A FEW LESSONS Do you notice this reoccurring thing? ALLHUM FEE MAN FEE MAN
FEE MAN What is this fee man? why not just say almhudani, wa fanee, watalytanee, why “amongst those who”? amongst those who? Don’t just guide me, but PUT ME IN A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHOM YOU HAVE GUIDED if you are sitting with bunch o friends, say you forget salah, someone is going to say its time for salah It strengthens you! Good company is VERY IMPORTANT! Protects you Creates a safe layer around you!
those whom you have guided in the past Those whom you have made wali In the past Why emphasis on the past?? THE BEST ROLE MODELS ,ARE THE ONES IN THE PAST, its GUARUNTEED. If someone was alive right now, you don’t know how it will end for him No guarantee in present
History is very important! WE NEED GOOD STRONG POSITIVE ROLE MODELS FROM THE PAST
And bless me IN THAT which you have already given me in the past This is important We pray for BARAKAAH This supplication teaches us about baraqah BARAQAH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH QUANTITY ITS ALL ABOUT QUALITY!!
O Allah add in what I already have! Just add baraqah and I am good to go! 6.02 STUDY OF CONCLUDING AYAT OF SURAH ALBAQARAH 2:284-286 Pg.29
LAST AYAHS OF SURAH BAQARAH Referring back to the Hadith of the 2 gifts to the Prophet pbuh “NOTHING like it has ever been given before! Any ummah from the past” Ayah 284,285,286 Realize these are VERY powerful ayahs FIRST AYAH LILLAHI MAAFISAMAAWAATI WA MAA FIL ARD - LILAHI – ONLY FOR ALLAH (out of sequence) EVERYTHING IN THE HEAVENS AND EVERYTIHING ON EARTH ONLY AND ONLY TO ALLAH DOES EVERYTHING BELONG First part teachEs us imaan in Allah- he is the SOLE owner of everything in existence
Wa intubtu- if you were to expose, if you were to open That which is hidden inside, evil inside or you continue to hide it Even if you expose it or hide it, ALLAH WILL HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE FOR IT (Allah CAN hold you accountable for it) This teaches us ACCOUNTABLITY, a person needs to live every single waking moment knowing and thinking that Allah can hold me accountable for ANYTHING and EVERYTHING! HE KNOWS EVERYTHING HE IS THE ONE INCHARGE, accountability helps a person stay in line! FARAGFIRULIMAYASHAA- ALLAH CAN FORGIVE WHOMEVER HE WILLS ALLAH CAN PUNISH WHOM EVER HE WILLS EVERYTHING IS UNDER THE CONTROL OF ALLAH, EVERYTHING IS WITHIN HIS GRASP This teaches us HOW to believe in Allah SECOND AYAH AAMANURASULU BIMAAA UNZILAILAYKA… THE NEXT STEP, after believing in Allah is believing in the Prophet pbuh We have modern day problem with our relationship with Prophet pbuh. its NOT an intellectual problem its a spiritual problem, another reason why its not intellectual problem is: ALLAH SAYS AAAMANARASOOL, the MESSEGNER HAS BELIEVED. The messenger has accepted. In what? BIMAA UNZILAH IN THAT WHICH WAS REVEALED (passive). That which was sent down ILAYHI- to him So the messenger has believed in that which was revealed down to the messenger MIN RABII – from his Lord Look at AAMANAR ROOSULOO- BIMAAUNZILAAYNA- in that that was revealed to HIM (talking about rasool) Revealed to RASOOL From the MASTER OF THE RASOOL What is this talking about? What was revealed to the Prophet pbuh? THE QURAN COULDN’T ALLAH SAID “MESSENGER BELIEVED IN QURAN? Yes But Allah didn’t Allah could have said Allah reveled other stuff as well, Allah could have said THE MESSENGER BELIEVED IN WHAT WAS SENT DOWN But Didn’t say that THE MESSENGER HAS BELEIEVED IN THAT WHICH WAS REVEALED TO THE MESSENGER. He didn’t need to be mentioned again, but Allah forcefully brought the Prophet back into the conversation. Allah could have said FROM YOUR LORD, but instead said FROM HIS LORD (Messengers Lord) In this ayah, the messenger is mentioned THREE TIMES, Allah is forcing him in the conversation when talking about revealing the QURAN ALLAH IS TRYING TO LET US KNOW THAT QURAN CAME THROUGH THE RASOOL So this concept of “I beleive in the Quran and I have no need for Rasool is WRONG” The AYAH DOESN’T LET YOU DO THAT,
WALMUMOOON- and the believers The believers “follow” The believers are FOLLOWING the messenger! Its visual imagery The believers follow him KULLUN- ALL OF THEM (believers) AAMAN BILLAH- they believe in Allah And his angels And his books And his messengers Now THIS IMAAN is being laid out. So believers are those who believe in angels, books, messengers BUT CHRISTIANS AND JEWS believe in these also! THEN ALLAH makes it exclucive to Muslims
NOW its just taking about us. Jews did not accept Isa Chrsitians didn’t accept Muhammad pbuh These are THOSE people who DO NOT DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN MESSENGERS, they believe in ALL THE MESSENGERS BELIEF is good, But does it stop with that? NO YOU NEED AML, (ACTON!) YOU said a lot, but many are NOT PUTTING IT INTO ACTION WAQAALOO- THY SAID SA MINAA- WE HAVE HEARD WA A TA’ NAA- WE HAVE OBEYED
When we say we have heard and we have obeyed, it’s a pretty heavy statement! If we tell a friend DON’T WORRY, IM READY GIVE ME A CALL, if you need that ride or want me to come with you… What occurs afterward after you leave? O man, what if HE REALLY CALLS!
HEYY YOU ARE BITING OFF MORE THAN YOU CAN CHEW…” Then we say GHUFRAANAK
KA- YOURS Its just a statement (YOUR OBEDIANT FORGIVNESS) When you are in BIG TROUBLE, would you casually say “I would appreciate some help” No, when in that SITUATION EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, and you don’t hold back you say HELPPP!!!!
ARE DROWNING IN OUR SINS WE SAID WE WOULD OBEY WE SAID WOULD LISTEN BUT WE ARE NOT DOING IT!!
WE NEED YOUR FORGIVENESS!!! HELP! AND ONLY TO YOU IS THE FINAL REURN ONLY TO YOU IS THE FINAL RETURN THIRD AYAH LAYOU KALLIFULLAHU NAFSAN ILAA WUS AHAA… NOW in the next ayah, ALLAH PUTS OUR MIND TO EASE THAT ANXIETY IS STIL LTHERE
YOU KALIFU mean to obligate ALLAH DOES NOT OBLIGATE, ALLAH DOES NOT BURDEN,
EXCEPT
WOOSAA- Means capacity ALLAH DOES NOT OBLIGATE ANY SOUL EXCEPT BY ITS CAPACITY LA HAA MA KASABT FOR EVERY SOUL IS WHAT HE HAS EARNED IF A SOUL IS GOOD HE WILL GET REWARD OF IT But AGAINST EVERYSOUL IS THAT WHICH IT HAS EARNED IF YOU DO GOOD YOU’LL GET IT IF YOU DO BAD, THAT WILL BE HELD AGAINST YOU!
But it scares us Perfect justice scares us We know how much we have messed up We know we have MORE in the negative column (sins) IT SCARES ME FINE I WILL GET THE REWRD OF MY DEEDS BUT I HAVE TO FACE MY SINS…I’M NOT SURE IF ONE SIDE OF THE SCALE WILL BALANCE THE OTHER
Forgetting is smaller In ayah of the Quran there is a specific reason for the order of making dua. In the ayah its teaching us in dua, When asking Allah, we present SMALL THINGS FIRST, then big things!
And you run car into garage When you go to parents what do you tell them about first?
I messed up big time I messed up really bad I cant even tell you You are going to get very mad
BUT WHEN ALLAH IS GIVING GIFT, ALLAH GIVES BIGGER THING FIRST! IF THEY MAKE MISTAKE and obviously if they forget… WHEN WE ASK, WE ASK kindly BUT WHEN ALLAH BESTOWS FORGIVENESS ON US HE GIVES BIGGER THING FIRST RABANA- OUR LORD In the nations of the past- if they made mistakes, and they made mistakes the command would get more difficult In the nations of the past, they would mess up command then obligation would get MORE difficult
A LALLADHEENA MIN QABLINAA RABANA-Our Lord WALAA TAH MIL ALAYNAA-Then do not FURTHER load on top of us on that which we DON’T have strength for Beginning of ayah already says “no burden” WUSAA- means CAPACITY (total capacity) like capacity in this room is 200 people TAAQAh means strength (not capacity) strength FLUCTUATES, capacity stays the same So capacity is 200 people but 100 can sit comfortably (that’s taaqaah)
WAFUANA- OVER LOOK FROM US THE MISTAKES WE MADE WAGHFIRLANA—GHARAFA linguistically means to COVER You can overlook something and NOT hide it Forgiveness is one thing and its another thing to cover it up We are asking O ALLAH OVERLOOK OUR SINS ANDDD HIDE THEM AS WELL, DON’T EXPOSE US. WARHAMNAA AND HAVE MERCY ON US! THE CONNECTON BTWEEN FORIGIVENESS AND MERCY Example of why they go HAND IN HAND GHAFURURAHEEM IMAGINE your best friend in the world, you trust him with anything and everything, what happens is your best friend is going through a difficult time. Lost his job, cant pay bills He is over your house one day and steals something for you And you end up finding out He confesses and says im sorry and that he should have known better. Explains how its been so rough and difficult for him
You say I cant deal with this We cant hang out anymore We are not friends anymore I don’t want to talk to you
You get over it But then you don’t hangout, not comfortable with him Few more weeks go by and you come across him, salam dua, see him At a distance Then he apologizes again, Im really sorry, Ill do what ever it takes to make it up to you You start talking on phone, start email and text messaging again time to time. Its getting better Then finally he calls you up one day, 6 months have passed since you were over it
I’m free, you mind if we hang out? Okay you say When he comes over YOU WILL HIDE EVERYTHING IN YOUR HOUSE, you laptop, watch, big screen on wall lol He would be like, “I THOUGHT YOU WERE OKAY?, YOU SAID YOU FORGAVE ME?...”
Something changed in the relationship EVEN THOUGH you forgave him, things weren’t the same
MERCY BRINGS YOU CLOSSER TO ALLAH YA ALLAH I made mistakes, I am asking you to forgive me and bring me closer to you, closer to you than before I made the mistakes! SUBAHALAH ALLAH IS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS THE ABILITY TO DO his Only Allah can do this HUMANS CANT ANTA MUALAANA- YOU ARE OUR TRUSTED ALLY SO HELP US AGAINST THOSE ONCE YOU ALLY YOURSELF WITH SOMEONE, ONCE YOU ARE LOYAL TO THEM ,ONCE YOU STATE YOUR ALLEGIENCE TO ALLAH, HIS ENEMIES ARE YOUR ENEMIES. Look through the Quran, ALLAH NEVER demanded perfection from us HE DEMANDS A SINCERE EFFORT WE ARE HUMANS, WE WILL MAKE MISTAKES THE KEY THING IS YOU DON’T DO IT INTENTIONALLY This attitude of “I don’t care” If you have student who does all the work and tries, asks you questions and for help and gets answers wrong And then you have another student who just puts random answers with a smiley face on paper and turns it in… 6.03 SUPPLICATION OF ISTIKHARAH Pg 30
It’s a practical application of salah Basic points about istekharah Istekharah might just be the most misunderstood acts of ibaadah
ANYTIME in the day THE RESPONSE of itkhara is the CONFIDENCE THAT YOU FEEL in doing what needs to be done Also its NOT supposed to be FIRST thing you do FIRST SIT THERE AND CAREFULLY THINK ABOUT THE ITEM AT HAND Say you need to buy a car RESEARCH IT LOOK AT DIFFERENT PRICES and compare them to the FEATURES TALK TO A MECHANIC and FAMILY/FRIEND who has the same car CONSULT with others who have knowledge and experience regarding it AFTER YOU COSULTED, you did your research, you think you want to buy a Honda, there are 2 otucomes After doing istkhara you will feel confident and the process is easy for you (in buying a Honda) OR after doing istkhara, there comes issues, there is THIS PROBLEM and THAT problem And if you don’t feel confident after doing it once, DO IT AGAIN, do it as many time as you need And keep doing it till you feel confident
The person involved in the situation does istekharah Its very simple! DON’T COMPLICATE THINGS! DEED IS SIMPLE
“Jabir narrates the Prophet pbuh used to teach us istekharah IN ALL OF OUR ISSUES just like he would teach us Surah of Quran. He would say “when anyone of you is concerned about something, is unsure about something, then let that person pray 2 rakah aside from fardh prayer, Then that person should recite: ALLAHUMA o Allah ASTAKHEERUKA- COMES FROM ROOT khay (TO SEEK GOOD) BI ILMIKA- by Means of your knowledgde WA ASTAQDIRUKA BI QUDRATIKA AND I SEEK FROM YOU THE ABILITY TO DO WHAT I NEED TO DO BY YOUR QUDRA
GREAT BLESSINGS FA INA KA- MOST DEF YOU TAQDIR- YOU ARE CAPABLE And I AM COMPLETELY INCAPABLE WA TALAMU WALAA ALAM AND YOU KNOW EVERYtHING AND I DON’T KNOW ANYTHING, NOTHING WA ANTA ALLAMUL- AND YOU YOU ARE ALLAAM (SOMEONE WHO KNOWS EVEYTHING INSIDE OUT!) GHUYOOB (THOSE THINGS THAT ARE HIDDEN, THOSE THINGS I CAN T SEE, YOU KNOW THEM INSIDE OUT) ALLHUMA- O ALLAH IN KUNTA TA’LAMU IF YOU KNOW ANA HATHAL AMRI THAT THIS ISSUE THAT I HAVE, (THIS IS WERE YOU SHOULD VISUAL AND THINK ABOUT (don’t have to verbalize it, the issue that you are asking istekhara for) KHAYRULI FEE DEE NI WA MAA ASHEE WA AAQIBADTI AMRI IF YOU KNOW THIS ISSUE IS BETTER FOR ME, BETTER FOR MY RELIGION, FOR MY DAY TO DAY LIFE, AND IN THE END OF AFFAIRS IN THE AKHIRHA IF THIS IS GOOD FOR ME, (AAJILI SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM) IF THIS IS GOOD FOR ME, FAQ DUR HU LEE WA YASIRLEE HU LEE THUMMA BAA RIK LEE FEE THEN MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR ME, MAKE IT EASY FOR ME, SIMPLY IT FOR ME AND PUT BARAQAH IN IT
DON’T JUST MAKE IT POSSIBLE, WAYASIRHOO (SIMPLY IT FOR ME!) DON’T JUST MAKE IT POSSIBLE, SIMPLIFY Then after that PUT BARAQAH IN IT!) What more could You ask for?
BUT IF YOU KNOW ANA HADTHAL AMRA SHARUL LEE FE DEE NEE WA MA AA SHEE WA AA QIBATEE AMREE THAT THIS ISSUE, PROBLEM OF MINE IS BAD FOR ME IN MY RELGION IN MY DAY TO DAY LIFE AND IN THE AKHIRA THEN FASRIFHOO A’NEE WAS RIFNEE AINHU FASRIFHO then turn it away from me TURN IT AWAY FROM ME WASRIF NEE- TURN ME AWAY FROM IT! I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH IT I WANT NO PART OF IT
LOOK AT THE IMAGERY WAQDURLIL KHAYRA - make possible for me that which is good I don’t know where that good could be, I don’t know what I should do, ordain for me WHAT EVER is best for me, what ever is good for me HAYTHU KAANA HAYTHUKAANA- WHEREVER , HOWEVER IT MAY BE MAKE THAT WHICH IS GOOD FOR ME POSSIBLE WHEREVER IT MAYBE
THEN MAKE ME SATISFIED WITH IT OTHER NARRATIONS (THUMMA, THEAFTER THAT MAKE ME SATIFIED WITH IT) THUMA RADINEE BIH RADINEE
Ardinee- from root means make me completely at once satisfied Radiniee- constantly reassure me about it There are 2 types fo people Depending on what type of person you are you can adjust the ending of the dua (use the other narration) First type Needed A LOT of convincing but once he makes up hismind, then khalas (finshed), book closed. Once he decides, then he decided he doesnt need anyone Second type of person, who when they get unsure, they sway back and forth. I want it, I don’t want it I’m not sure
If you need Radinie- one who changes mind a lot use this CONCLUSION The goal of this class was NOT just vocabulary The way to you can improve the salah is by IMPLEMENTING IT INTO SALAH THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN IT BECOMES SECOND NATURE TO YOU
SEEKING KNOWLEDGE IS ALWAYS A TWO STEP PROCESS LEARNING THEN
FOLLOW UP So there are about 27 pages of material. And you have notes on them, For the next 3 weeks, EVERYDAY, take out 15-20 minutes, THAT IS NOT A LOT OFTIME, you will be able to got thru 2-3 pages of notes you have taken. YOU KNOW HOW EASY IT IS TO TAKE 15 minutes out, Watch one less sitcom Before going to work, put newspaper down, the world will survive without you reading it
IF YOU GO OVER all notes twice, THIS MATERIAL WILL SINK IN IT WIL BE SECOND NATURE
YOU WONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THA ANYMORE! BECAUSE YOU ARE BUSY THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE READING PROCESSING WHAT YOU ARE SAYING BUT YOU NEED DEDICATION AND FOLLOW UP
