Salam alaykum wa rahmatullahi obarakatuh Alhamdulillah Salatu salaam ala rasoolallah. Very short khatir inshaallah with a very beautiful dua. We will learn tonight. I want everybody to leave tonight learning a new dua. This dua Rasulullah, sallallahu alaihi wasallam. He said about it that the doors.
B
Of heaven opened for it.
A
The doors of heaven opened for this dua. And Abdullah IBN Umar, he said, we are praying with Rasulullah.
B
And then a man said, allahu akbaru Kabira walhamdulillahi kathira wa subhan Allahi bukratan wa aseela.
A
After the salat is done, Abdullah is still narrating.
B
He said Rasulullah turned around and he.
A
Said, who's the one who said these words?
B
So one of the sahaba, one of.
A
The companions said, he said, I'm very surprised of it.
B
All the doors of heaven have opened for it, Subhanallah.
A
So Abdullah IBN Omar, the narrator of.
B
The hadith, said, I never left it since that day when is this dua said this dua. As we know, there are many duas to be said before the Fatihah and they are called dua al istiftah Istftah from opening, right? So dua al istftah, the one that we all know by heart.
A
Subhanaq Allahumma wabi hamdik wa tabara Kasmuk.
B
Wa ta'ala jaduk wala ilaha ghayruk. This is 100% authentic. And as a matter of fact, there's a hadith that indicate that this is one of the most beloved dua to Allah. Subhanahu wa ta'ala another Dua Allah. 100% authentic.
A
In Bukhari and Muslim, Rasulullah used to.
B
Say this dua before the fatiha. Another dua, this one. Very few people know it. And the hadith I just mentioned is in sahih Muslim. So Allahu akbar, we already know. All you have to memorize is a new word called kabira. So Allahu akbaru Kabira Alhamdulillah. We all know alhamdulillahi kathira. So the ba over there, turn it into kabira kathira. Very easy. I really want everybody to know it.
A
Okay?
B
Allahu akbaru Kabira walhamdulillahi kathira Subhanallah. Anybody does not know subhanallah. Subhanallahi bukratan wa asila Maybe this is the two new words and I will explain. First, Allahu Akbaru kabir. Or before that, there's one side note that shows us that Rasulullah does not know the Ghayb. When he turned around and he said, who said that?
A
Right.
B
That's an indication that Rasul does not know the Ghayb. Because as we know, there are groups that says that Rasulullah knows the Ghayb, Rasulu does not know the Ghayb. And Allah told us in the Quran that only the Ghayb is known to Allah. Subhanahu wa ta'ala. So Allahu Akbar u kabir. Allahu Akbar is the most word that any practicing Muslim utter on a daily basis. Between the salawat. All the salawat that we do. Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar. The Adhkar that we do after the salawat, the dua that we do before sleeping. If you put them all together, it will pass 3, 400 a day. So there's nothing we say more than the word Allah Akbar which indicate that Allah is greater than anything in our life. And add to it kabira. This is more emphasis on. On the greatness of Allah. Subhanahu wa ta'ala Walhamdulillahi Kathira wallahi Alhamdulillahi Kathira subhanallah. How many blessings do we have, Yaquan? The blessings that we see and the blessings that we do not see. Probably the ones we do not see are more than the ones we see. And we only appreciate the blessings when we lose them. Let me tell you something. If somebody tells you, I will give you $5 million. Because all we think about that I don't have enough money, that means I am deprived, right? If someone says, I will give you $5 million, Abu Yusuf, $5 million. But in return. No, listen. There's a catch. Because there's no rest in this life. There's no place to rest. This is not Jannah. Otherwise why would we look forward for Jannah? There always something. So I will get $5 million. But you cannot shower and clean yourself by yourself. Somebody has to do it for you. You would say no, yaqui, forget the $5 million. I will give you $10 million.
A
But.
B
But every single day you're having a fight with your wife, an argument. No, Yahi, forget about the $10 million. I will give you $20 million. And I will take your eyes. No. How can I drive? How can I see my family? How can I see my children? How can I work? I don't want the $20 million. All of a sudden you find yourself a billionaire and all you are thinking and complaining about is that I don't have enough money. But you are already a millionaire and you do not recognize it. Subhanallah. So alhamdulillahi Kathira. Kathira was subhanallah. Subhanallah is to negate any shortcomings, any faults from Allah. Subhanahu wa ta'ala. And to attribute to him every single perfection. This is what subhanallah means. What does that means? The time between fajr and shuruk. This is bukra. Okay, so I'm making. I'm saying in the dua, Subhanallah is after ASR includes what? The whole day. That does not mean I only say Subhanallah bukrah. And I only say Subhanallah aseela. Just like Allah said in the Quran. That does not mean what's in between. He's not there, rabbit. He is the rabb of the samawat and of the ard and everything in between. So that means I am remembering Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala day and night. Look how beautiful is this dua. And Allah told us in the Quran. Yeah, you had so yaan the dua. Allah.
A
Allahu akbar. Right. Because as we have described and explained in our salat course and class, the.
B
More we alternate in our dua, the.
A
More we concentrate in the salat.
B
And the more we concentrate on the salat, the higher the possibility of Khushua. Now, it is mechanical.
A
Automatic. Allah. Right.
B
Automatic without thinking.
A
Oh, no, no. Fajr. I'm gonna say Allahu akbaru kabira. Allah. Allahu akbaru kabira wa kathira. And I start my fatiha.
B
Please introduce something new. It is 100% authentic.
A
It is from Rasoolah Sallallahu alaihi wasallam. Let's say it all together. Okay, but when we do it, we say it separately.
B
Allahu akbaru kabira was subhanallahi book written.
A
Wa asila barakallah fikum jazakumullah khair. We see you tomorrow at Fajr at 6 o'clock tomorrow. Salat of jumua in jama'ah. The fajr in jama'ah is the best salat in the sight of Allah. Salam alaikum.

Episode Title: A Short Dua that Opens the Doors of Heaven: Ustadh Baajour
Release Date: February 17, 2025
In this enlightening episode of Digital Islamic Reminder, host and guest Ustadh Baajour explore a profound dua (supplication) renowned for its spiritual potency. The discussion centers around a specific dua attributed to Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) that is believed to open the doors of heaven for those who sincerely recite it.
Understanding the Dua:
The dua presented in this episode is:
"Allahu Akbaru Kabira walhamdulillahi kathira wa subhan Allahi bukratan wa aseela."
(00:00 - 02:26)
Ustadh Baajour emphasizes that this dua is not only beautiful but also deeply meaningful. It encapsulates expressions of Allah's greatness, abundant praise, and perfection, making it a comprehensive invocation for believers.
Authenticity and Hadith References:
The dua's authenticity is underscored by references to reputable hadith collections:
"This is 100% authentic. And as a matter of fact, there's a hadith that indicate that this is one of the most beloved dua to Allah."
(01:37)
Ustadh Baajour cites Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, highlighting that the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) regularly recited this dua before the Fatiha during prayers, thereby cementing its place in Islamic tradition.
1. Allahu Akbaru Kabira:
"Allahu Akbar Kabira."
(02:27)
This phrase magnifies Allah's greatness beyond measure. While "Allahu Akbar" is a common declaration of Allah's supremacy, adding "Kabira" intensifies this declaration, emphasizing that Allah's greatness is immense and unparalleled.
2. Walhamdulillahi Kathira:
"Walhamdulillahi Kathira."
(02:27)
This segment translates to "And all praise is due to Allah in abundance." It reflects profound gratitude and recognition of Allah's countless blessings.
3. Subhan Allahi Bukratan wa Aseela:
"Subhan Allahi Bukratan wa Aseela."
(02:27)
"Subhan Allah" signifies the perfection and transcendence of Allah, free from any flaws. "Bukratan" and "Aseela" refer to the morning and evening times, suggesting continuous remembrance of Allah throughout the day.
Emphasizing Allah's Greatness:
Ustadh Baajour elaborates on the frequency and significance of "Allahu Akbar" in a Muslim's daily life:
"Allahu Akbar is the most word that any practicing Muslim utter on a daily basis... If you put them all together, it will pass 3,400 a day."
(03:35)
This repetition serves as a constant reminder of Allah's omnipresence and supreme authority.
Appreciating Blessings:
A poignant analogy is presented to illustrate the importance of recognizing and being grateful for Allah's blessings:
"If somebody tells you, I will give you $5 million... you would say no, yaqui, forget the $5 million... I will give you $10 million... no, forget about the $10 million... I don't want the $20 million."
(03:35 - 04:36)
This comparison underscores that increasing worldly gains often lead to more responsibilities and potentially less contentment. Instead, true gratitude lies in appreciating both visible and unseen blessings.
Understanding "SubhanAllah":
The phrase "Subhanallah" is dissected to reveal its profound meaning:
"Subhanallah is to negate any shortcomings, any faults from Allah... to attribute to him every single perfection."
(04:36)
This remembrance is not confined to specific times but should be a continuous reflection of Allah's perfection.
Achieving Khushua in Salat:
The discussion transitions to the impact of this dua on a believer's prayer experience:
"The more we alternate in our dua, the more we concentrate in the salat... the higher the possibility of Khushua."
(06:27 - 06:48)
Consistent recitation and contemplation of the dua foster deeper concentration and humility during prayers, elevating the overall spiritual engagement.
Ustadh Baajour encourages listeners to incorporate the dua into their daily prayers:
"Let's say it all together. Okay, but when we do it, we say it separately."
(07:12)
By consciously integrating this supplication before the Fatiha, believers can enhance their connection with Allah and open the doors of heaven through sincere devotion.
The episode concludes with a heartfelt invitation to embrace this dua as a means to deepen one's faith and spiritual practice:
"Barakallah fikum jazakumullah khair. We see you tomorrow at Fajr at 6 o'clock tomorrow. Salat of Jumua in jama'ah. The fajr in jama'ah is the best salat in the sight of Allah. Salam alaikum."
(07:31)
Opening Doors of Heaven:
"The doors of heaven opened for this dua."
(00:23)
Affirmation of Allah's Perfection:
"Subhanallah is to negate any shortcomings, any faults from Allah, and to attribute to him every single perfection."
(04:36)
Frequency of Remembrance:
"If you put them all together, it will pass 3,400 a day."
(03:35)
This episode serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding and utilizing a potent dua that not only honors Allah's greatness but also fosters a deeper, more concentrated spiritual life. Ustadh Baajour's insightful explanations and practical advice equip listeners with the knowledge to enhance their daily prayers and overall remembrance of Allah.
