Dua by Sheikh Ibrahim Jebril

Chapter 21: Surah Al Anbiya (The Prophets) - Sheikh Ibrahim Jibreen

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
21:1 Their reckoning has drawn near to men, and in heedlessness are they turning aside.
21:2 There comes not to them a new reminder from their Lord but they hear it while they sport,
21:3 Their hearts trifling; and those who are unjust counsel together in secret: He is nothing but a mortal like yourselves; what! will you then yield to enchantment while you see?
21:4 He said: My Lord knows what is spoken in the heaven and the earth, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
21:5 Nay! say they: Medleys of dreams; nay! he has forged it; nay! he is a poet; so let him bring to us a sign as the former (prophets) were sent (with).
21:6 There did not believe before them any town which We destroyed, will they then believe?
21:7 And We did not send before you any but men to whom We sent revelation, so ask the followers of the reminder if you do not
21:8 And We did not make them bodies not eating the food, and they were not to abide (forever).
21:9 Then We made Our promise good to them, so We delivered them and those whom We pleased, and We destroyed the ex
21:10 Certainly We have revealed to you a Book in which is your good remembrance; what! do you not then understand?
21:11 And how many a town which was iniquitous did We demolish, and We raised up after it another people!
21:12 So when they felt Our punishment, lo! they began to fly
21:13 Do not fly (now) and come back to what you were made to lead easy lives in and to your dwellings, haply you will be questioned.
21:14 They said: O woe to us! surely we were unjust.
21:15 And this ceased not to be their cry till We made them cut
21:16 And We did not create the heaven and the earth and what is between them for sport.
21:17 Had We wished to make a diversion, We would have made it from before Ourselves: by no means would We do (it).
21:18 Nay! We cast the truth against the falsehood, so that it breaks its head, and lo! it vanishes; and woe to you for what you describe;
21:19 And whoever is in the heavens and the earth is His; and those who are with Him are not proud to serve Him, nor do they grow weary.
21:20 They glorify (Him) by night and day; they are never languid.
21:21 Or have they taken gods from the earth who raise (the dead).
21:22 If there had been in them any gods except Allah, they would both have certainly been in a state of disorder; therefore glory be to Allah, the Lord of the dominion, above what they attribute (to Him).
21:23 He cannot be questioned concerning what He does and they shall be questioned.
21:24 Or, have they taken gods besides Him? Say: Bring your proof; this is the reminder of those with me and the reminder of those before me. Nay! most of them do not know the truth, so they turn aside.
21:25 And We did not send before you any apostle but We revealed to him that there is no god but Me, therefore serve Me.
21:26 And they say: The Beneficent God has taken to Himself a ! son. Glory be to Him. Nay! they are honored servants
21:27 They do not precede Him in speech and (only) according to His commandment do they act.
21:28 He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they do not intercede except for him whom He approves and for fear of Him they tremble.
21:29 And whoever of them should say: Surely I am a god besides Him, such a one do We recompense with hell; thus do, We recompense the unjust.
21:30 Do not those who disbelieve see that the heavens and the earth were closed up, but We have opened them; and We have made of water everything living, will they not then believe?
21:31 And We have made great mountains in the earth lest it might be convulsed with them, and We have made in it wide ways that they may follow a right direction.
21:32 And We have made the heaven a guarded canopy and (yet) they turn aside from its signs.
21:33 And He it is Who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon; all (orbs) travel along swiftly in their celestial spheres.
21:34 And We did not ordain abiding for any mortal before you. What! Then if you die, will they abide?
21:35 Every soul must taste of death and We try you by evil and good by way of probation; and to Us you shall be brought back.
21:36 And when those who disbelieve see you, they do not take you but for one to be scoffed at: Is this he who speaks of your gods? And they are deniers at the mention of the Beneficent God.
21:37 Man is created of haste; now will I show to you My signs, therefore do not ask Me to hasten (them) on.
21:38 And they say: When will this threat come to pass if you are truthful?
21:39 Had those who disbelieve but known (of the time) when they shall not be able to ward off the fire from their faces nor from their backs, nor shall they be helped.
21:40 Nay, it shall come on them all of a sudden and cause them to become confounded, so they shall not have the power to avert it, nor shall they be respited.
21:41 And certainly apostles before you were scoffed at, then there befell those of them who scoffed that at which they had scoffed.
21:42 Say: Who guards you by night and by day from the Beneficent God? Nay, they turn aside at the mention of their Lord.
21:43 Or, have they gods who can defend them against Us? They shall not be able to assist themselves, nor shall they be defended from Us.
21:44 Nay, We gave provision to these and their fathers until life was prolonged to them. Do they not then see that We are visiting the land, curtailing it of its sides? Shall they then prevail?
21:45 Say: I warn you only by revelation; and the deaf do not hear the call whenever they are warned.
21:46 And if a blast of the chastisement of your Lord were to touch them, they will certainly say: O woe to us! surely we were unjust.
21:47 And We will set up a just balance on the day of resurrection, so no soul shall be dealt with unjustly in the least; and though there be the weight of a grain of mustard seed, (yet) will We bring it, and sufficient are We to take account.
21:48 And certainly We gave to Musa and Haroun the Furqan and a light and a reminder for those who would guard (against evil).
21:49 (For) those who fear their Lord in secret and they are fearful of the hour.
21:50 And this is a blessed Reminder which We have revealed; will you then deny it?
21:51 And certainly We gave to Ibrahim his rectitude before, and We knew him fully well.
21:52 When he said to his father and his people: What are these images to whose worship you cleave?
21:53 They said: We found our fathers worshipping them.
21:54 He said: Certainly you have been, (both) you and your fathers, in manifest error.
21:55 They said: Have you brought to us the truth, or are you one of the triflers?
21:56 He said: Nay! your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Who brought them into existence, and I am of those who bear witness to this:
21:57 And, by Allah! I will certainly do something against your idols after you go away, turning back.
21:58 So he broke them into pieces, except the chief of them, that haply they may return to it.
21:59 They said: Who has done this to our gods? Most surely he is one of the unjust.
21:60 They said: We heard a youth called Ibrahim speak of them.
21:61 Said they: Then bring him before the eyes of the people, perhaps they may bear witness.
21:62 They said: Have you done this to our gods, O Ibrahim?
21:63 He said: Surely (some doer) has done it; the chief of them is this, therefore ask them, if they can speak.
21:64 Then they turned to themselves and said: Surely you yourselves are the unjust;
21:65 Then they were made to hang down their heads: Certainly you know that they do not speak.
21:66 He said:.What! do you then serve besides Allah what brings you not any benefit at all, nor does it harm you?
21:67 Fie on you and on what you serve besides Allah; what! do you not then understand?
21:68 They said: Burn him and help your gods, if you are going to do (anything).
21:69 We said: O fire! be a comfort and peace to Ibrahim;
21:70 And they desired a war on him, but We made them the greatest losers.
21:71 And We delivered him as well as Lut (removing them) to the land which We had blessed for all people.
21:72 And We gave him Ishaq and Yaqoub, a son's son, and We made (them) all good.
21:73 And We made them Imams who guided (people) by Our command, and We revealed to them the doing of good and the keeping up of prayer and the giving of the alms, and Us (alone) did they serve;
21:74 And (as for) Lut, We gave him wisdom and knowledge, and We delivered him from the town which wrought abominations; surely they were an evil people, transgressors;
21:75 And We took him into Our mercy; surely he was of the good.
21:76 And Nuh, when he cried aforetime, so We answered him, and delivered him and his followers from the great calamity.
21:77 And We helped him against the people who rejected Our communications; surely they were an evil people, so We drowned them all.
21:78 And Dawood and Sulaiman when they gave judgment concerning the field when the people's sheep pastured therein by night, and We were bearers of witness to their judgment.
21:79 So We.made Sulaiman to understand it; and to each one We gave wisdom and knowledge; and We made the mountains, and the birds to celebrate Our praise with Dawood; and We were the doers.
21:80 And We taught him the making of coats of mail for you, that they might protect you in your wars; will you then be grateful?
21:81 And (We made subservient) to Sulaiman the wind blowing violent, pursuing its course by his command to the land which We had blessed, and We are knower of ail things.
21:82 And of the rebellious people there were those who dived for him and did other work besides that, and We kept guard over them;
21:83 And Ayub, when he cried to his Lord, (saying): Harm has afflicted me, and Thou art the most Merciful of the merciful.
21:84 Therefore We responded to him and took off what harm he had, and We gave him his family and the like of them with them: a mercy from Us and a reminder to the worshippers.
21:85 And Ismail and Idris and Zulkifl; all were of the patient ones;
21:86 And We caused them to enter into Our mercy, surely they were of the good ones.
21:87 And Yunus, when he went away in wrath, so he thought that We would not straiten him, so he called out among afflictions: There is no god but Thou, glory be to Thee; surely I am of those who make themselves to suffer loss.
21:88 So We responded to him and delivered him from the grief and thus do We deliver the believers.
21:89 And Zakariya, when he cried to his Lord: O my Lord leave me not alone; and Thou art the best of inheritors.
21:90 So We responded to him and gave him Yahya and made his wife fit for him; surely they used to hasten, one with another In deeds of goodness and to call upon Us, hoping and fearing and they were humble before Us.
21:91 And she who guarded her chastity, so We breathed into her of Our inspiration and made her and her son a sign for the nations.
21:92 Surely this Islam is your religion, one religion (only), and I am your Lord, therefore serve Me.
21:93 And they broke their religion (into sects) between them: to Us shall all come back.
21:94 Therefore whoever shall do of good deeds and he is a believer, there shall be no denying of his exertion, and surely We will write (It) down for him.
21:95 And it is binding on a town which We destroy that they shall not return.
21:96 Even when Gog and Magog are let loose and they shall break forth from every elevated place.
21:97 And the true promise shall draw nigh, then lo! the eyes of those who disbelieved shall be fixedly open: O woe to us! surely we were m a state of heedlessness as to this; nay, we were unjust.
21:98 Surely you and what you worship besides Allah are the firewood of hell; to it you shall come.
21:99 Had these been gods, they would not have come to it and all shall abide therein.
21:100 For them therein shall be groaning and therein they shall not hear.
21:101 Surely (as for) those for whom the good has already gone forth from Us, they shall be kept far off from it;
21:102 They will not hear its faintest sound, and they shall abide in that which their souls long for.
21:103 The great fearful event shall not grieve them, and the angels shall meet them: This is your day which you were promised.
21:104 On the day when We will roll up heaven like the rolling up of the scroll for writings, as We originated the first creation, (so) We shall reproduce it; a promise (binding on Us); surely We will bring it about.
21:105 And certainly We wrote in the Book after the reminder that (as for) the land, My righteous servants shall inherit it.
21:106 Most surely in this is a message to a people who serve
21:107 And We have not sent you but as a mercy to the worlds.
21:108 Say: It is only revealed to me that your God is one God; will you then submit?
21:109 But if they turn back, say: I have given you warning m fairness and I do not know whether what you are threatened with is near or far:
21:110 Surely He knows what is spoken openly and He knows what you hide:
21:111 And I do not know if this may be a trial for you and a provision till a time.
21:112 He said: O my Lord! judge Thou with truth; and our Lord is the Beneficent God, Whose help is sought against what you ascribe (to Him).

Chapter 8: Surah Al Anfal - Sheikh Ibrahim Jibreen

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
8:1 They ask you about the windfalls. Say: The windfalls are for Allah and the Apostle. So be careful of (your duty to) Allah and set aright matters of your difference, and obey Allah and His Apostle if you are believers.
8:2 Those only are believers whose hearts become full of fear when Allah is mentioned, and when His communications are recited to them they increase them in faith, and in their Lord do they trust.
8:3 Those who keep up prayer and spend (benevolently) out of what We have given them.
8:4 These are the believers in truth; they shall have from their Lord exalted grades and forgiveness and an honorable sustenance.
8:5 Even as your Lord caused you to go forth from your house with the truth, though a party of the believers were surely averse;
8:6 They disputed with you about the truth after it had become clear, (and they went forth) as if they were being driven to death while they saw (it).
8:7 And when.Allah promised you one of the two parties that it shall be yours and you loved that the one not armed should he yours and Allah desired to manifest the truth of what was true by His words and to cut off the root of the unbelievers.
8:8 That He may manifest the truth of what was true and show the falsehood of what was false, though the guilty disliked.
8:9 When you sought aid from your Lord, so He answered you: I will assist you with a thousand of the angels following one another.
8:10 And Allah only gave it as a good news and that your hearts might be at ease thereby; and victory is only from Allah; surely Allah is Mighty, Wise.
8:11 When He caused calm to fall on you as a security from Him and sent down upon you water from the cloud that He might thereby purify you, and take away from you the uncleanness of the Shaitan, and that He might fortify your hearts and steady (your) footsteps thereby.
8:12 When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.
8:13 This is because they acted adversely to Allah and His Apostle; and whoever acts adversely to Allah and His Apostle-- then surely Allah is severe in requiting (evil).
8:14 This-- taste it, and (know) that for the unbelievers is the chastisement of fire.
8:15 O you who believe! when you meet those who disbelieve marching for war, then turn not your backs to them.
8:16 And whoever shall turn his back to them on that day-- unless he turn aside for the sake of fighting or withdraws to a company-- then he, indeed, becomes deserving of Allah's wrath, and his abode is hell; and an evil destination shall it be.
8:17 So you did not slay them, but it was Allah Who slew them, and you did not smite when you smote (the enemy), but it was Allah Who smote, and that He might confer upon the believers a good gift from Himself; surely Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
8:18 This, and that Allah is the weakener of the struggle of the unbelievers.
8:19 If you demanded a judgment, the judgment has then indeed come to you; and if you desist, it will be better for you; and if you turn back (to fight), We (too) shall turn back, and your forces shall avail you nothing, though they may be many, and (know) that Allah is with the believers.
8:20 O you who believe! obey Allah and His Apostle and do not turn back from Him while you hear.
8:21 And be not like those who said, We hear, and they did not obey.
8:22 Surely the vilest of animals, in Allah's sight, are the deaf, the dumb, who do not understand.
8:23 And if Allah had known any good in them He would have made them hear, and if He makes them hear they would turn back while they withdraw.
8:24 O you who believe! answer (the call of) Allah and His Apostle when he calls you to that which gives you life; and know that Allah intervenes between man and his heart, and that to Him you shall be gathered.
8:25 And fear an affliction which may not smite those of you in particular who are unjust; and know that Allah is severe in requiting (evil).
8:26 And remember when you were few, deemed weak in the land, fearing lest people might carry you off by force, but He sheltered you and strengthened you with His aid and gave you of the good things that you may give thanks.
8:27 O you who believe! be not unfaithful to Allah and the Apostle, nor be unfaithful to your trusts while you know.
8:28 And know that your property and your children are a temptation, and that Allah is He with Whom there is a mighty reward.
8:29 O you who believe! If you are careful of (your duty to) Allah, He will grant you a distinction and do away with your evils and forgive you; and Allah is the Lord of mighty grace.
8:30 And when those who disbelieved devised plans against you that they might confine you or slay you or drive you away; and they devised plans and Allah too had arranged a plan; and Allah is the best of planners.
8:31 And when Our communications are recited to them, they say: We have heard indeed; if we pleased we could say the like of it; this is nothing but the stories of the ancients.
8:32 And when they said: O Allah! if this is the truth from Thee, then rain upon us stones from heaven or inflict on us a painful punishment.
8:33 But Allah was not going to chastise them while you were among them, nor is Allah going to chastise them while yet they ask for forgiveness.
8:34 And what (excuse) have they that Allah should not chastise them while they hinder (men) from the Sacred Mosque and they are not (fit to be) guardians of it; its guardians are only those who guard (against evil), but most of them do not know.
8:35 And their prayer before the House is nothing but whistling and clapping of hands; taste then the chastisement, for you disbelieved.
8:36 Surely those who disbelieve spend their wealth to hinder (people) from the way of Allah; so they shall spend it, then it shall be to them an intense regret, then they shall be overcome; and those who disbelieve shall be driven together to hell.
8:37 That Allah might separate the impure from the good, and put the impure, some of it upon the other, and pile it up together, then cast it into hell; these it is that are the losers.
8:38 Say to those who disbelieve, if they desist, that which is past shall be forgiven to them; and if they return, then what happened to the ancients has already passed.
8:39 And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah; but if they desist, then surely Allah sees what they do.
8:40 And if they turn back, then know that Allah is your Patron; most excellent is the Patron and most excellent the Helper.
8:41 And know that whatever thing you gain, a fifth of it is for Allah and for the Apostle and for the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, if you believe in Allah and in that which We revealed to Our servant, on the day of distinction, the day on which the two parties met; and Allah has power over all things.
8:42 When you were on the nearer side (of the valley) and they were on the farthest side, while the caravan was in a lower place than you; and if you had mutually made an appointment, you would certainly have broken away from the appointment, but-- in order that Allah might bring about a matter which was to be done, that he who would perish might perish by clear proof, and he who would live might live by clear proof; and most surely Allah is Hearing, Knowing;
8:43 When Allah showed them to you in your dream as few; and if He had shown them to you as many you would certainly have become weak-hearted and you would have disputed about the matter, but Allah saved (you); surely He is the Knower of what is in the breasts.
8:44 And when He showed them to you, when you met, as few in your eyes and He made you to appear little in their eyes, in order that Allah might bring about a matter which was to be done, and to Allah are all affairs returned.
8:45 O you who believe! when you meet a party, then be firm, and remember Allah much, that you may be successful.
8:46 And obey Allah and His Apostle and do not quarrel for then you will be weak in hearts and your power will depart, and be patient; surely Allah is with the patient.
8:47 And be not like those who came forth from their homes in great exultation and to be seen of men, and (who) turn away from the way of Allah, and Allah comprehends what they do.
8:48 And when the Shaitan made their works fair seeming to them, and said: No one can overcome you this day, and surely I am your protector: but when the two parties came in sight of each other he turned upon his heels, and said: Surely I am clear of you, surely I see what you do not see, surely I fear Allah; and Allah is severe in requiting (evil).
8:49 When the hypocrites and those in whose hearts was disease said: Their religion has deceived them; and whoever trusts in Allah, then surely Allah is Mighty, Wise.
8:50 And had you seen when the angels will cause to die those who disbelieve, smiting their faces and their backs, and (saying): Taste the punishment of burning.
8:51 This is for what your own hands have sent on before, and because Allah is not in the least unjust to the servants;
8:52 In the manner of the people of Firon and those before them; they disbelieved in Allah's communications, therefore Allah destroyed them on account of their faults; surely Allah is strong, severe in requiting (evil).
8:53 This is because Allah has never changed a favor which He has conferred upon a people until they change their own condition; and because Allah is Hearing, Knowing;
8:54 In the manner of the people of Firon and those before them; they rejected the communications of their Lord, therefore We destroyed them on account of their faults and We drowned Firon's people, and they were all unjust.
8:55 Surely the vilest of animals in Allah's sight are those who disbelieve, then they would not believe.
8:56 Those with whom you make an agreement, then they break their agreement every time and they do not guard (against punishment).
8:57 Therefore if you overtake them in fighting, then scatter by (making an example of) them those who are in their rear, that they may be mindful.
8:58 And if you fear treachery on the part of a people, then throw back to them on terms of equality; surely Allah does not love the treacherous.
8:59 And let not those who disbelieve think that they shall come in first; surely they will not escape.
8:60 And prepare against them what force you can and horses tied at the frontier, to frighten thereby the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them, whom you do not know (but) Allah knows them; and whatever thing you will spend in Allah's way, it will be paid back to you fully and you shall not be dealt with unjustly.
8:61 And if they incline to peace, then incline to it and trust in Allah; surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
8:62 And if they intend to deceive you-- then surely Allah is sufficient for you; He it is Who strengthened you with His help and with the believers
8:63 And united their hearts; had you spent all that is in the earth, you could not have united their hearts, but Allah united them; surely He is Mighty, Wise.
8:64 O Prophet! Allah is sufficient for you and (for) such of the believers as follow you.
8:65 O Prophet! urge the believers to war; if there are twenty patient ones of you they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a hundred of you they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they are a people who do not understand.
8:66 For the present Allah has made light your burden, and He knows that there is weakness in you; so if there are a hundred patient ones of you they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a thousand they shall overcome two thousand by Allah's permission, and Allah is with the patient.
8:67 It is not fit for a prophet that he should take captives unless he has fought and triumphed in the land; you desire the frail goods of this world, while Allah desires (for you) the hereafter; and Allah is Mighty, Wise.
8:68 Were it not for an ordinance from Allah that had already gone forth, surely there would have befallen you a great chastisement for what you had taken to.
8:69 Eat then of the lawful and good (things) which you have acquired in war, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
8:70 O Prophet! say to those of the captives who are in your hands: If Allah knows anything good in your hearts, He will give to you better than that which has been taken away from you and will forgive you, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
8:71 And if they intend to act unfaithfully towards you, so indeed they acted unfaithfully towards Allah before, but He gave (you) mastery over them; and Allah is Knowing, Wise.
8:72 Surely those who believed and fled (their homes) and struggled hard in Allah's way with their property and their souls, and those who gave shelter and helped-- these are guardians of each other; and (as for) those who believed and did not fly, not yours is their guardianship until they fly; and if they seek aid from you in the matter of religion, aid is incumbent on you except against a people between whom and you there is a treaty, and Allah sees what you do.
8:73 And (as for) those who disbelieve, some of them are the guardians of others; if you will not do it, there will be in the land persecution and great mischief.
8:74 And (as for) those who believed and fled and struggled hard in Allah's way, and those who gave shelter and helped, these are the believers truly; they shall have forgiveness and honorable provision.
8:75 And (as for) those who believed afterwards and fled and struggled hard along with you, they are of you; and the possessors of relationships are nearer to each other in the ordinance of Allah; surely Allah knows all things.

Chapter 56: Surah Al Waqiah - Ibrahim Jibreen
