Speaker A
And last week we explained and we mentioned the gift from Rasulullah after we finish everything to make as many dua as possible and we mentioned three of them.
Speaker A
Today inshallah taala, there's a dua that the scholars differed, is it before taslim or is it after taslim?
Speaker A
Many scholars said that this dua, say it before the salam, similarly after you say it, and some said no, after you make your taslim, then you say this dua.
Speaker A
What's the story behind this dua?
Speaker A
The dua is known to everybody.
Speaker A
But inshallah taala, after today, you will say it with a different feeling.
Speaker A
Because you will understand what it means.
Speaker A
And what's the story behind it?
Speaker A
Muadh radiallahu anhu.
Speaker A
And I, I want you to live with me this hadith.
Speaker A
Muadh radiallahu anhu, he said.
Speaker A
Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam, took by my hand and said.
Speaker A
Wallahi, I love you, oh Muadh.
Speaker A
Wallahi, I love you, oh Muadh.
Speaker A
I advise you, oh Muadh, do not leave after every prayer to say.
Speaker A
Oh Allah, help me to remember You, to thank You, and to worship You perfectly.
Speaker A
How lucky is Muadh.
Speaker A
So Muadh is narrating and said, Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam came to me and took by my hand and said.
Speaker A
Oh Muadh, by Allah, I love you.
Speaker A
And in the narration of Abu Dawud, he repeated it twice, by Allah, I love you.
Speaker A
Do not leave this dua after every prayer.
Speaker A
The word 'dubur' means after, or it means behind.
Speaker A
So some said, no, no, after you finish the salat, in the salat, and some said after the salat.
Speaker A
Do not leave without saying this dua.
Speaker A
Oh Allah, help me to remember You, to thank You, and to worship You perfectly.
Speaker A
First, you want to give a message to somebody and you want a good outcome.
Speaker A
Have a physical contact with the person you're talking to.
Speaker A
This is one of the methods of Rasulullah.
Speaker A
Like for example, when he saw Abdullah ibn Umar, he put his hand on his shoulder and he told him, be in this dunya one of two, either a traveler or a passerby.
Speaker A
But he put his hand in his shoulder.
Speaker A
And Abu Hurairah one time, he took, he said, he took my hand and he counted five things.
Speaker A
And the man who came to him and said, oh Rasulullah, give me permission to commit adultery.
Speaker A
He put his hand on his chest and he made dua for him.
Speaker A
Similarly here, there was a physical contact with Rasulullah with Muadh.
Speaker A
And then after that, a verbal follow-up.
Speaker A
First he touched him, he held his hand, and then he told him.
Speaker A
Not I love you.
Speaker A
There's a, there's a difference.
Speaker A
When I tell you, Abu Ahmad, I love you.
Speaker A
It's different than, by Allah.
Speaker A
There's 'waw' and there's 'inni', by Allah, I really, really love you.
Speaker A
And not only that, he repeated it twice.
Speaker A
And who is this statement coming from?
Speaker A
From the best man ever created, the man that they all love so much.
Speaker A
The man that all the Sahaba are ready to give up their life for.
Speaker A
And then he said, I advise you.
Speaker A
Now imagine someone started like this.
Speaker A
Held your hand.
Speaker A
And told you, I love you, I really love you.
Speaker A
And then he told you, I want to give you a will.
Speaker A
This will is coming from the most knowledgeable man ever.
Speaker A
From the most truthful man ever.
Speaker A
And from the most eloquent man ever.
Speaker A
So you could imagine how did Muadh feel.
Speaker A
So how would you become when someone tells you like this?
Speaker A
Rasulullah, I want to give you a will.
Speaker A
You're going to neglect it, you're going to ignore it.
Speaker A
You're going to live by it.
Speaker A
You'll never going to stop doing that will.
Speaker A
What is that will?
Speaker A
Oh Muadh, after you finish the salat, or like we said.
Speaker A
Either in the salat or after you finish the salat.
Speaker A
Never stop, always say, Oh Allah, help me to remember You, to thank You, and to worship You perfectly.
Speaker A
Oh Allah, help me.
Speaker A
Help me.
Speaker A
We use it every single day, we worship You and we seek Your help.
Speaker A
We ask for help.
Speaker A
Help me.
Speaker A
Oh Allah, please, I beg you, help me.
Speaker A
Help me, without the help of Allah, you would have never been able to attend Isha tonight.
Speaker A
Without the help of Allah, you cannot move a finger.
Speaker A
Without the help of Allah, you cannot pray.
Speaker A
Without the help of Allah, you cannot breathe.
Speaker A
So, oh Allah, because sometimes.
Speaker A
We are fooled, we think that we are coming to Isha and Fajr, we and we are donating and we are reading the Quran.
Speaker A
Because of I am a good person.
Speaker A
No, Allah subhanahu wa taala saw something good in you.
Speaker A
And then he gave you that favor.
Speaker A
It's all from Allah Azza wa Jall.
Speaker A
That's why we repeat it all the time.
Speaker A
We worship You and we seek Your help, without Your help, I cannot perform the worship.
Speaker A
Oh Allah, help me on what?
Speaker A
Oh Allah, help me, assist me to remember You all the time.
Speaker A
And here the remembrance, not only, oh Allah, help me say, glory be to Allah and praise be to Allah.
Speaker A
This is part of the remembrance.
Speaker A
But oh Allah, help me remember You.
Speaker A
Oh Allah, help me remember You when I am offered the forbidden job.
Speaker A
Oh Allah, help me remember You when I'm giving two choices.
Speaker A
One is bad and one is good.
Speaker A
Oh Allah, help me remember You when I'm about to commit a major sin.
Speaker A
Help me to remember You.
Speaker A
Remembrance is a term that includes all forms of remembrance, including prayer.
Speaker A
Oh Allah, help me to remember You, to thank You.
Speaker A
By Allah, I want you to please live this hadith.
Speaker A
Live this dua when you're saying it.
Speaker A
Because if this dua is answered, by Allah, we are done.
Speaker A
Oh Allah, help me remember You.
Speaker A
And oh Allah, help me thank You.
Speaker A

Speaker A
Is brother Khalil here?
Speaker A

Speaker A
Abu Harun, on Tuesday morning.
Speaker A
Look, look at the, I'm talking about.
Speaker A
Being grateful to Allah Azza wa Jall.
Speaker A
Tuesday morning, he arrived Monday night from Jordan.
Speaker A
Tuesday morning, mashallah, he's from the people of Fajr.
Speaker A
5:30 AM, he's coming to the masjid.
Speaker A
You're all familiar with the neighborhood.
Speaker A
He's coming from Grand Homes.
Speaker A
He's coming from, like, assume you're going from, from Jupiter.
Speaker A
From Grand Homes.
Speaker A
And he got to the light, and this light you have to make.
Speaker A
Left to come to Epic, right?
Speaker A
At the light.
Speaker A
At the light, Abu Harun got unconscious.
Speaker A
He lost consciousness.
Speaker A
Listen carefully.
Speaker A
So the car went straight towards my house, as if you're going towards Walmart.
Speaker A
Now, he's not making left anymore.
Speaker A
The car went straight, he's unconscious.
Speaker A
Went above the first curb.
Speaker A
Went against the traffic coming from 544.
Speaker A
Went above the next curb.
Speaker A
Through the trees, without hitting any tree, landing in the pond, and then waking up and coming up without anything.
Speaker A
So I told him.
Speaker A
Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam said.
Speaker A
Whosoever pray Fajr in jama'ah is under the protection of Allah.
Speaker A
The minute you decide to leave your house to pray Fajr in jama'ah.
Speaker A
You are under the protection of Allah Azza wa Jall because by all means, by all calculations, this does not make any sense.
Speaker A
So we have so, I told him, look at this favor.

Speaker A
From the bottom of your heart.
Speaker A

Speaker A
And thank Him all the time.
Speaker A
