(Ayah 6) ﺍ ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﺍ Guide us to the correct way

From here we start making the actual du’a

Remember the prerequisites of a du’a? • Know what you are asking for • Make sure you really want it • Ask from your heart We are learning it

What is the Siraat Al Mustaqeem? The straight way? OR The right way ?

A straight path is very smooth with no hurdles

It may/may not lead to Jannah !

You can reach Jannah by

Can be difficult to walk on

And doing the things we don’t like

Do you want to do that for Allah (swt)?

Might need to get out of your car and walk

Are you willing to say good bye to your comfort for Allah (swt)?

There can be a steep climb !

Allah (swt) tests people he chooses for Jannah

Are you willing to pay the price for Jannah?

We are very short sighted

Can’t see Jannah from the bottom

Can’t see our destination

This would have helped

It can tire you easily

It can be lonely !

You need a break You’ll be a social out cast What is the rush

Obedience of Allah (swt) is for a life time

Does this stop you from obeying Allah (swt)? Life tim eo bed Way to Jannah ien ce

Hurdles may stop you

Our hurdles in life • People • Our inner desires • Satan

Which one leads to Jannah ?

Follow the Prophet’s (pbuh) way

What do I do now?

This is Satan working on you

Never turn back

You can get hurt !

And confuse others too

You can stop many others from reaching Jannah

If one path is closed find another one

There a lot of roads leading to Jannah !

But this is just in optional deeds

We have to walk on the Siraat Al. Mustaqeem

Exercise Think of a person who you think is really lucky

ﺍ ﺍ The way of those whom you have blessed

They are the lucky ones

Is this being lucky?

! Fir’aun had all the blessings

Do we want to end up like him?

Musa’s (as) life was full of struggle

Then what blessing had Allah (swt) given him?

True Blessing

True blessing is… To live your life according to your manual. The book of Allah (swt)

Then who are these lucky people? • • People who follow Allah’s (swt) book and the prophets’ way. The prophets The truthful The martyrs The righteous

Qualities of these lucky people • Sincerity to Allah (swt) and His Messengers • Adherance to Allah’s (swt) commands • Refrain from what He has prohibited

Remember the prerequisites of a du’a? • Know what you are asking for • Make sure you really want it • Ask from your heart

Do we actually want ﺍﻟ ﺍ ﺍ

This is the only way to Jannah
