 Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen. Inna salatu wassalamu ala ashrafil anbiya wal mursaleen. Muhammadur Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa ala alihi wa sallam. Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. My brothers and sisters, the fundamental belief of Islam is the Tawheed of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala jalla zillaluh. That there is no one worthy of worship except Allah. That there is no one who can help or harm. There is no one who can fulfill any of our needs or desires. There is no one who has any power or authority of any kind in any sphere of life. There is no one who can cure disease. Or alleviate suffering. Whether it's economic or health-wise. Or of any other kind. There is no one who has the power to decree that the converse of this has the power to decree that somebody should become sick. Somebody should have some difficulty. There is no one who can do any of these things. Illa Allah. Illa Allah. Except Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. This is the fundamental belief. And therefore, the fundamental belief also extends to the fact that when we have any need, we ask only Allah. Do not ask anyone other than Allah. We ask only Allah. And we ask only Allah without associating any partners with Him. And without going through this one or that one. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Himself commanded us and said Uda'uni astajib lakum. Allah said, ask Me and I will accept your ask. I will accept your dua and I will give you. Uda'uni astajib lakum. And Allah said the one who burns that and scorns that and does not ask, considers himself to be self sufficient and not in need of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said that He will put him fi Jahannam wa al-Dakhirin. And He will put him in the hellfire. And He will put him in the hellfire. You ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala always to keep us among those who always ask Him and who keep asking Him. And when you ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, there are three kinds of duas, if I can say that. One are the duas of the Quran. Rabbana a'tina fi al-dunya hasanatan wa fi al-akhirati hasanatan wa ila azama na'ar. Wa Rabb, give us goodness in this life and give us goodness in the life of the Hereafter. And save us from the hellfire. Rabbana la tuzikqaluwana ba'dayzi hadaytina wahablana milladinkar rahma. Innaka anta al-wahaba. O Allah, do not allow our hearts to change after You have guided them. And many others. The distinction of the duas of the Quran is that they all begin with Rabbana. So all the Rabbana duas are from the Quran al-Karim. And then there are the duas of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And obviously nobody can make better duas than Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam himself. No one can make better duas than Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was connected to Allah more than him, more than he was. And so his duas are the most beautiful duas in the world. And his duas are so comprehensive, they cover every aspect of life. It's a very good thing to memorize some of those duas and to ask. And his duas all begin with Allahumma. Allahumma. Allahumma a'ini al-adhi. Allahumma a'ala adhikrika wa shukrika wa husni ibadatika. The dua that he taught to be recited after every Salam. Allahumma a'ini, oh Allah, help me. Ala adhikrika, in your remembrance, adhikrika wa shukrika. And to help me to become grateful to you. Wa husni ibadatika and to beautify my ibadat. So Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam's duas are the beginning usually with, almost always with Allahumma. We know the famous story concerning Ramadan where, and Lailatul Qadr specifically where Aisha Siddiqua radiallahu anha, may Allah bless her and raise her darajat and fill her qabar with noor. Our mother and one of our greatest teachers, Aisha Siddiqua radiallahu anha asked Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, she said, Ya Rasulullah, if I were to get Lailatul Qadr, what must I ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala? Which is the best dua to make? And he taught her the famous dua which we all know, alhamdulillah. Where she, where he said to her, ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and said, Allahumma inna ka'afu. Tuhibbul aafu fa aafu anni. Allah, you are the forgiver. You love to forgive. So forgive me. On a side note, I must caution myself and you that the best form of any dua is the, any dua of the Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the best form of that dua is exactly the way that he taught us to make. So don't, don't add to it. Don't try to improve it. Because there is no way that you can improve a dua of the Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So don't try to improve it. For example, this dua, Allahumma inna ka'afu. Tuhibbul aafu fa aafu anni. This is what Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught Sayyidina Aisha sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Sayyidina Qadr al-A'am, alhamdulillah, and it came to us. Now, usually people add Kareem. Kareem. Allahumma ...
