    In this episode we discuss the two names of allah that are derived from the root letters qaaf, haa and raa. We disccuss how Allah's power is infinite and absolute, and how there is nothing that was ever created that has the ability to overcome Allah. We share the dua said to have been recited by RA (SAW) everytime he turned in his sleep. لا إِلـهَ إِلاّ اللهُ الـواحِدُ القَهّـار رَبُّ السَّـمواتِ وَالأرْضِ وَما بَيْـنَهـما العَزيـزُ الغَـفّار La ilaha illallah al-Wahidul-Qahhar, Rabbus-samawati wa ‘l-ardi wa ma baynahuma al-`Azīzul-Ghaffar.

The two duas of Rasul Allah (SAW) shared in the episode are provided for reference below: الَّلهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أُشْرِكَ بِكَ وأَنا َعلَمُ وأَستَغفِرُكَ لما لا أَعلَمُ   Allahumma inni a`udhu bika an ushrika bika wa ana a`lamu wa astaghfiruka lima la a`lamu ‘ O Allah I seek refuge in You from knowingly associating partners with You, and I seek Your forgiveness for that which I do not know.’  الَّـذي لَـمْ يَلِـدْ وَلَمْ يولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكـنْ لَهُ كُـفُواً أَحَـد أَنْ تَغْـفِرْ لي ذُنـوبي إِنَّـكَ أَنْـتَ الغَفـورُ الرَّحِّـيم Allahumma inni as'aluka ya Allah bi'annaka 'l-Wahidu 'l-Ahadus-samad, alladhi lam yalid wa lam yulad, wa lam yakun lahu kufuwan ahad, an taghfir li dhunubi, innaka anta 'l-Ghafurur-Rahim. "O Allah, I ask You. O Allah, You are the One, the Only, Self-Sufficient Master, Who was not begotten and begets not, and none is equal to Him. Forgive me my sins, surely you are Forgiving, Merciful."

    Jun 9 2023

    In this episode we discuss Allah's Hilm; His lack of haste when it comes to punishment of wrongdoers, despite His capability and right to do so.

     The Prophet’s ﷺ supplication during difficulty(al-Bukhārī, Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī):


    لا إله إلا اللهُ العظيمُ الحليمُ ، لا إله إلا الله رَبُّ العرش العظيم ، لا إله إلا الله رَبُّ السماوات وربُّ الأرضِ ، لا إله إلا الله رَبُّ الْعَرشِ الكريم

    Lā ilāha illā Allāh al-ʿaẓīm al-ḥalīm. Lā ilāha illā Allāh rabb al-ʿarsh al-ʿaẓīm. Lā ilāha illā Allāh rabb al-samāwāt wa rabb al-arḍ. Lā ilāha illā Allāh rabb al-ʿarsh al-karīm.

    None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Majestic, the Most Forbearing, none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Lord of the Tremendous Throne. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Lord of the Heavens and the Lord of the Honorable Throne

    Jun 2 2023

    In this episode we discuss Allah's name Al Mumin, as The Ultimate Testifier of Truth, The One Who Inspires and Confirms faith in others, and The One Who Grants peace and security to the believers.

    The following dua is included towards the end of the episode:

    Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Abu Sa`id, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "On the day of Al-Khandaq, we said: `O Messenger of Allahﷺ, is there anything we should say, for our hearts have reached our throats' (meaning in fear and anxiety)

    Heﷺsaid:

    «نَعَمْ، قُولُوا: *اللَّهُمَّ اسْتُرْ عَوْرَاتِنَا وَآمِنْ رَوْعَاتِنَا*»

    (Yes, say: *O Allah, cover our weak points and calm our fears*)

    Then Allah struck the faces of the enemy with the wind, and defeated them with the wind.

    This was also recorded by Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal from Abu `Amir Al-`Aqadi.

    - From the Tafsir of Surah Al Ahzab in Tafsir Ibn Katheer
