Sujood : The Secret Of The Salat | Explanations of Duaas in SALAT #7 | Ustadh Mohamad Baajour

We continue inshallah today with the explanations of the duas in the sujud.

Very short khatira inshallah that we will all benefit hopefully.

Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam used to have a young man who stand by his door at night only in case Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam woke up and needed any help, Rabia wanted to be there and serve Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

And he was a very young man, they say 11, 12 years old.

So one time Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he came out and he told Rabia or he asked Rabia a question that every Muslim dream about.

He said, ya Rabia, sell, sell me.

Ask me, Rabia, what do you want?

So many narrations and the answer of Rabia was, ya Rasulullah, I want your company in Jannah.

I want to be with you in Jannah.

He did not say I just want Jannah, I want a horse, I want a house, I want a wife.

I want your company in Jannah.

So what did Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam tell him?

If you want that goal, like we say here in America, help me, help you.

If you want that goal of being with me in Jannah, help yourself by performing a lot of sujud.

So Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam named the salat sujud.

Because there's nothing prescribed in the Sunnah.

And by the way, we see many people do that after they finish the salat, he make an extra sajda.

Where is this from?

After the salat is over, you see some people make an extra sajda and they start making dua in that sajda.

This is not prescribed.

This is not from the deen.

The sujud that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is talking about is the sujud in the salat.

So Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam named the salat sujud.

This is how important it is.

And Ibn Qayyim Rahimahullah said, sir, the secret of salat is in sujud.

And he said, all the things, all the things we did before sujud are preparation for sujud.

Everything we did before sujud is tahdir, is preparation for sujud.

And it's so good that we do it twice.

What are the duas that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam taught us in the sujud?

Like we said before, there are duas that are common between ruku and sujud.

And there are duas that are strictly for ruku and there are duas that are strictly for sujud.

Last time we took the duas for ruku.

The ones that are common, we said them before, Subhanakallahumma Rabbana wa bihamdika, Allahummaghfirli.

This is in Bukhari.

Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam used to say this in ruku and in sujud.

Subbuhun Quddusun Rabbul Malaikati war Ruh in ruku, in sujud.

Subhana Rabbiyal Adhim strictly ruku.

Subhana Rabbiyal A'la strictly sujud.

And we mentioned few that are strictly in ruku.

And today we mention two only that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam taught us to say in in sujud.

Subhanallah.

First, before we mention those two duas, we want to remember ya ikhwan.

That the closest, the closest me and you are to Allah when we are in sujud.

The closest to Allah Azza wa Jall when we are in the state of sujud.

So Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, when you are in that position, is'al.

Ask.

Ask whatever you want.

Allah Azza wa Jall himself said, fasjud waqtarib.

The more you make sujud, the closer you are to me.

To Allah Azza wa Jall.

Last ayah in Surah Al-Alaq.

Make sujud and come close.

The more you make sujud, yani salat, the closer you are to Allah Azza wa Jall.

So when we are in sujud, make any dua, ya akhi.

Any dua.

Can I make dua from the Quran?

Yes, absolutely.

Rabbana atina fid dunya hasanah wa fil akhirati hasanah wa qina adhaban nar.

Rabbana hab lana min azwajina wa.

We can.

What is forbidden in the sujud is to recite the Quran.

You don't say in the sujud, Rabbana atina fid dunya.

No.

You're making the dua, you're not making recitation.

In the sujud, you make dua from the Quran.

The duas in the Quran are the best duas ever.

Then after that, the duas from the authentic Sunnah.

Can I make dua in sujud in my own language?

Now.

The scholars said, if you speak Arabic, if you understand Arabic and you make dua in other than Arabic, your salat is batil.

But if it is hard for you to learn a dua in Arabic, and you did your best to learn the dua in Arabic.

And you have an emergency and you want to make a request to Allah.

They said, go ahead and make dua in any language.

But preferably, you have to make an effort to make dua in Arabic.

And another group said, you know what?

Why don't you memorize the duas that are in general?

Like, Rabbana atina fid dunya hasanah wa fil akhirati hasanah.

There's nobody who knows Arabic or who does not know Arabic, does not know this dua.

And this dua is the most inclusive dua.

Or, Allahumma inni as'alukal jannah wa a'udhu bika minan nar.

Ya Allah, I ask you Jannah and save me from the hellfire.

That does not need person to be a master in the Arabic language.

And that includes everything that you want.

Right?

So what are the two duas we will take today, inshallah ta'ala?

Number one, Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said.

He used to say in his sujud, Allahummaghfirli dhanbi kullahu.

Diqqahu wa jallahu.

Awwalahu wa akhirahu.

Alaniyatahu wa sirrahu.

Ya Allah, forgive all my sins.

The small ones and the big ones.

The first ones and the last ones.

The ones I did in secret and the ones I did in public.

There's no more sins left.

All kinds of sins.

Ya Allah, forgive them all.

That's the first one.

Second one.

Sahih Muslim.

Aisha Radiyallahu Anha, she said, I used to hear Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam say this dua in his sujud.

Allahumma laka sajadtu.

Wa bika amantu.

Wa laka aslamtu.

Sajada wajhi.

Lilladhi khalaqahu wa sawwarahu.

Wa shaqqa sam'ahu wa basarahu.

Fa tabarakallahu ahsanul khaliqin.

Beautiful dua.

Ya Allah, to you I'm making sujud.

And ya Allah, I believe in you.

And ya Allah, I submit to you.

Sajada wajhi, my wajh, my face made sujud.

To the one who created it and fashioned it.

And the one who gave it hearing and vision.

Fa tabarakallahu ahsanul khaliqin.

Glorified Allah, the best of creators.

Subhanallah.

Sujud, you are whispering in the ground.

And your voice is heard above the seventh heaven.

Sujud is the only ibadah, is the only thing that the more you descent, the more you are elevated.

Qala Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, innaka lan tasjuda sajda lillahi illa rafa'akallahu biha daraja wa hatta biha anka khati'ah.

Aw kama qala alaihi salatu wassalam.

There's no time you make any sajda for Allah Azza wa Jall, except he raise you one degree in status and forgive one of your sins.

Subhanallah.

If someone ask you, where is happiness?

Where is happiness?

Happiness is when we go to Jannah.

Where is Jannah?

Is in the A'la.

Where is Allah?

Allah is on his throne above the Arsh.

And the closer you are to Allah, the closer you are to happiness.

That's why when I go down on the ground, I am in the lowest level, I'm putting my most honored part of my body.

On the most humiliated place where I just put my feet.

Ya Allah, I only do that for you.

And when I am in the lowest position, I say, Subhana Rabbiyal A'la.

You want to go to the A'la.

Make a lot of sujud.

You want to go to the A'la, go a lot to the asfal.

Lower yourself in front of Allah, humble yourself in front of Allah.

And Allah will elevate your status.

May Allah Subhanah wa Ta'ala make us from the from the people whom they are in their salat khashi'un.

Allahumma aghfir lana dhunubana wa israfana fi amrina wa thabbit aqdamana wa ansurna alal qawmil kafirin.

Wa sallallahu ala Nabiyyina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi ajma'in.

Innal muslimina wal muslimat wal mu'minina wal mu'minat.

Wal qanitina wal qanitat was sadiqina was sadiqat.

Was sabirina was sabirat wal khashi'ina wal khashi'at.

Wal khashi'ina wal khashi'at wal mutasaddiqina wal mutasaddiqat was sa'imina was sa'imat.

Wal hafizina furujahum wal hafizat wadh dhakirina Allaha kathiran wadh dhakirat.

A'addallahu lahum maghfiratan wa ajran azima.
