Hawqala

But I'm going to say if there's something and you're flicking it away because you don't really want to go into it, you hear the first two or three words.

Do you agree? You hear the first two or three words, and sometimes the next one has similar words, and the next one has similar words, and the next one has similar words, and guess what? Those words begin to ring in your mind when you're going down to recline in your bed at the end of the day, and you think to yourself, la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah.

When words of Allah should be ringing in my mind, all those words I heard are ringing even louder.

I've felt that.

The dignity of taking all of this and not begging anybody for anything.

لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ To Allah, I complain.

And nobody is watching this.

We learn from later on what is happening.

What are these unrestricted adhkar? There are five statements.

Subhanallah, alhamdulillah, allahu akbar, la ilaha illallah, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah.

These are the five statements of unrestricted adhkar.

Now what do these statements translate into? Subhanallah, that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is free from every deficiency and from every defect.

La ilaha illallah.

There's no one worthy of worship except Allah.

And la hawla wa la quwata illa billah.

There is no power or ability except by the will of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

Small du'a and what that du'a can do to your day.

If you leave your house and you say, Right? Everybody knows this du'a? How long it take to say this dua? Bismillah, tawakkaltu ala Allah, la hawna wa la quwwata illa billah.

Three seconds.

But what way you get? The Prophet ﷺ says, if you said that, you say, you granted hidayah, wa kifaya wa wikaaya.

Ya Allah, I don't have any control.

Say these words, la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah.

Recognize that.

And then remind yourself at the end, say, but O Allah, with you I can do

Just as he was possessed of his attributes prior to his creation, doesn't mean to his himself being created.

لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله That's not what it means.

Prior to his creation يعني us.

Prior to him creating the creation.

Outside of the home, mashallah, tabarakallah, smiling, jolly, joking, mashallah, spending, you know, mashallah, everybody loves his presence.

He goes home, ya akhi, everybody's like, oh, la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah, rajjal wasal.

The guy has arrived and stress has already kicked in.

Everybody's on high alert.

But I'm going to say, if there's something and you're flicking it away because you don't really want to go into it, you hear the first two or three words.

Do you agree? You hear the first two or three words, and sometimes the next one has similar words, and the next one has similar words, and the next one has similar words, and guess what? Those words begin to ring in your mind when you're going down to recline in your bed at the end of the day, and you think to yourself, "La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah.

When words of Allah should be ringing in my mind, all those words I heard are ringing even louder." I've felt that.

Imagine what those who are dedicated in this would be feeling.
