 Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. Peace and blessings be upon the honour of the Prophets and Messengers, Muhammad and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him and upon his family. Peace and blessings be upon them. And after that, my brothers and sisters, it is very important after the first prayer to do the Masnoon adhkar of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him and upon his family. All the adhkar, all the dhikr the Prophet used to do after the first prayer, it is very important to do that first. Before anything else, before the khatira, before anything which the Imam wants to say or any haddars or hadiths or anything else. Finish the adhkar of, these are all Sunnah Mu'akkadah. They are almost as important as the first. Finish that, then do whatever else you want to do. So the Prophet said, first and foremost, after you finish your Salah, you say Astaghfirullah three times. Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah. And then you say Allahumma a'inni a'la dhikrika wa shukrika wa husni ibadatika. And then if you like, you can say Allahumma takabbal minna innaka anta as-sami wal-alim wa tuba'ilina innaka anta at-tawabur raheem. And then you recite Ayatul Qursi. The recitation of Ayatul Qursi, after the Salah, the first Salah, Rasulullah said, the one who recites Ayatul Qursi after the first Salah, the only thing that is between him and Jannah is his death. Meaning, as soon as he dies, he will go to Jannah, InshaAllah. So simple. Ayatul Qursi after the first. So, the Ulema have said that this could mean Ayatul Qursi immediately after the first, or it could mean Ayatul Qursi as the last thing, before you say Salah. So after Atayat and after Dhurut Ibrahim and after the Dua's, you recite Ayatul Qursi and then you say Salam Alaikum, Salam Alaikum. In the Salah. So the Afdal way is to do that and immediately after Salah also. So after you say Salam, Salam, then Ayatul Qursi. And then SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar, 33, 33, 34. And then La ilaha illaAllah, Wa a'dahu la sharika lahu, la huma al-mulk, la huma al-hamdu, wa ala kulli shay'in qadir. So this is the minimum. And then of course, if Allah gives us tawfiq, La ilaha illaAllah, wa a'dahu la sharika lahu, la huma al-mulk, la huma al-hamdu, yuhi wa yumeet, wa huwa ala kulli shay'in qadir. That addition of yuhi wa yumeet. Huwa ala kulli shay'in qadir, ten times. And after that, Allahumma la ma'aleh ala ma'atayta, wa la muti lima manata, wa la yanfawzal jaddah minkal jaddah. These are the little one lines. This we must memorize and we must say this. Right? Then you do your, whatever else you want to do. The dars or anything else. But until you finish the adhkar, don't be in a hurry. If you do not even have, peace of mind and sukoon in salah, in the masjid, where will we have it? That this life is full of all kinds of tensions and this and that. At least in the masjid, let us be, stay with peace and khair. InshaAllah Allah Ta'ala will give us khair. The key thing is to understand that Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala gave us this deen in order to give us sukoon. The purpose of the deen is what? To give you trouble or to give you, deen is not meant to give, deen is meant to solve our problems. Deen is meant to give us sukoon. But anything is beneficial only if you use it. You can have a beautiful house and in that you have, for example, you have an air conditioner in your bedroom. But here in Hyderabad in the summer, the temperature is going to 40 degrees Celsius and you are sweltering in the heat, burning in the heat. You are trying to sleep in the bedroom and you can't sleep and it's so difficult. And somebody says, why don't you turn on the AC? You have the AC, it is installed, it works. Why don't you turn it on? You know, this example sounds stupid, but that is exactly what we do with our religion. We have it, alhamdulillah. All of us,
