Speaker A
And we said many times that one of the ways to achieve khushu is by changing the dua as long as it is authentic. So we studied four duas before the Fatiha that are all authentic, recited them one time or another, and we started last week, we studied four duas, authentic duas in the ruku.
Speaker A
When we get up from the ruku, there are two positions in the salat where we rush so much. The first is when we get up from the ruku and boom, we dive into sujud right away, and the second is between the two sajdas.
Speaker A
In order inshallah to not fall into that mistake, listen to me attentively today. We get up from the ruku, what do we say? This one here, you have no option, no other option.
Speaker A
The others, they have many options, but we do not hear any other narration that said anything else. So we have to say. There are two words that we have to understand, and in the middle, easy, we all know, but and we have to know what they mean.
Speaker A
Allah said in the Quran, when Ibrahim said, that Allah have gifted me Ismail and Ishaq at an old age, and then he said,.
Speaker A
Here it does not mean mean that Allah heard my dua, no, Allah already already answered the dua, he already gave him Ismail and Ishaq. So the word means, Allah answered.
Speaker A
Another dalil, that's from the Quran, from the Sunnah, used to seek refuge from four, Ya Allah, I seek refuge with you from a heart that is not humble, from knowledge that's not beneficial, and from a dua, here does not mean dua is not being heard.
Speaker A
If you make dua, I'm standing next to you, I heard it, is not going to hear it, no, means dua that is not answered. I seek refuge, Ya Allah, with you from a dua that's not being answered. So now here we know that means, answer.
Speaker A
What does mean? One of the meanings of here, is the one who attribute to Allah the perfect attributes with love and veneration. Another meaning, the one who everything I have is from him.
Speaker A
Allah answers the dua of the one who believes that every blessing he has is from Allah. What do we say right after that? Or you add to each. We alternate.
Speaker A
First, second. I'm talking from experience, the minute I start using my brain in the, the minute your will get improved. Otherwise, just mechanical movement without any thinking.
Speaker A
The more you involve your brain, and especially as long as they are authentic, and they are all authentic. Listen to this one, beautiful, and that will help us stay a little bit longer and not fall into that mistake of rushing.
Speaker A
Listen, was praying, and he said, he heard someone saying, the finished, turned around, who said that statement? I can imagine that probably how could you add something, what no, the said, I found over 30, I saw over 30 angels racing to write it down.
Speaker A
Hadith is in Bukhari. So, in order not to fall into that rush from now on, this Ya Allah that I'm I'm I'm expressing is abundant. Ya Allah, this is full of blessing. Ya Allah, this is pure.
Speaker A
Subhanallah, I want myself and you to think, what am I being grateful for every single salat, four times or two times. By Allah, like the just recited in Surah An-Nahl, if you count the blessings of Allah, you cannot enumerate them.
Speaker A
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, that you are a Muslim, all praise is due to Allah that you are a believer, all praise is due to Allah that you have health, all praise is due to Allah that you are from the people of the masajid. Yes, they cannot be counted or enumerated. So I want myself to think about these when I say, the minute I say that, already I'm 10-15 seconds extra than my previous salat, because now I added something authentic and full of meaning.
