I respond to the prayer of every supplicant whenever he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me and believe in Me, in order for them to be rightly guided." [2:186] 4.2 VOCABULARY OF THE VERSE ف إ ن ي ق ر يب ع ب اد ي ع ن ي و إ ذ ا س أ ل ك إ ذ ا د ع ان د ع و ة الد اع أ ج يب ل ع ل ه م ي ر ش د ون و ل ي ؤ م ن وا ب ي ف ل ي س ت ج يب وا ل ي 1

2 4.3 AN ARABIC LANGUAGE BENEFIT Adding a "laam al-amr" to a present tense verb changes it to a command in the third person. For example, ي س ت ج يب ون (they respond) becomes ف ل ي س ت ج يب وا (let them respond) when that laam is added. The case of the verb changes from marfoo' to majzoom when this laam is used. Look at how this operation works in the table below, and try to apply the same method to the new words and complete the table: ي س ت ج يب ون ل ي +ف+ل ي ؤ م ن ون ب ي +و+ل كجكح ٱ كخكل ٱ ي ص وم ه +ف+ل ي ع ب د ون ر ب ه ذ ا الب ي ت +ف+ل ي ق ول خ ي ر ا +ف+ل ٱ 4.4 TAFSEER BENEFITS People ask about Allah Allah is certainly near A great generality Generalities have exceptions Two actions are required 1 2 Guidance is the result Du'aa' (supplication) is worship Examples of errors in du'aa' 1 Shirk (polytheism) 2 Bid'ah (innovation) 3 Ta'addee (transgression) 2

3 4.5 HADEETH STUDY م ق ا ل: ص ى ل هللا ع ل ي ه و س ل ع ن أ ب ه ر ي ر ة ر ض ي هللا ع ن ه : أ ن ر س و ل هللا»أ ق ر ب م ا ي ك و ن ال ع ب د م ن ر ب ه و ه و س اج د ف أ ك ر وا الد ع اء.«]أ خ ر ج ه م س ل م[ On the authority of Aboo Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (may Allah raise his rank and grant him peace) said: "The closest a servant can become to his Lord is when he is prostrating, so make a lot of du'aa' [when prostrating]." [Sahih Muslim] 4.6 BENEFITS OF THE HADEETH Aboo Hurayrah Closeness to Allah varies: 1 Time 2 Situation 3 Piety The benefit of nearness Supplicating much "Asking too much?" Not asking Allah at all Hearts involved in prayer Prostrating after every prayer? 3

4 4.7 ACTIVITY: Memorize this supplication to be used in the "qunoot" of Witr Prayer:»الل ه م اه د ن ي ف يم ن ه د ي ت و ع اف ن ي ف يم ن عاف ي ت و ت و ل ن ي ف يم ن ت و ل ي ت و ب ر ك ل ي ف يم ا أ ع ط ي ت و ق ن ي ش ر ما ق ض ي ت ف إ ن ك ت ق ض ي و ل ي ق ض ى ع ل ي ك و إ ن ه ل ي ذ ل م ن و ال ي ت و ل ي ع ز م ن ع اد ي ت ت ب ار ك ت ر ب ن ا و ت ع ال ي ت.«]429 حه السن ن و صح حا ب و أص د م أح ر جه خ]أ برقم الغ ل ي ل ف ي إ ر و اء ال لب ا ين "O Allah, guide me among those whom You have guided. Give me wellbeing from those whom You have given well-being. Accept me as an ally among those whom You have taken as allies. Bless me among those whom You have blessed. Save me from the evil of what You have decreed, as You (alone) decree (everything), and no decree is issued over You. Certainly, no ally of Yours is disgraced, and none whom you oppose attain honor. Blessed are You, our Lord, in Lofty Exaltation." [Collected by Ahmad and the authors of the Sunan compilations. Declared authentic by al-albaanee in Irwaa' al-ghaleel, no. 429.] The complete workbook has all thirty lessons. 4
