- by Yasir Qadhi
The Transcript:
My Dear Brothers and sisters in Islam, when the Beloved Prophet of Allah Ibrahim ‘Alayhis Salaam was building the Kaaba, the very first house of worship built on this earth, the very first house that would become the holiest place on this earth, He made a Du’a, in the middle of the desert, ONLY him and his son Ismail ‘Alayhis Salaam building the Kaaba brick-by-brick understanding that this house that they are building shall become the sanctuary, a holy place for all Believers, building the house of Allah, What Du’a did they make? Imagine their feeling, imagine what they were undergoing carrying out this task that Allah had commanded them to do.
What was this Du’a? It is recorded in the Quran and one phrase in this Du’a is so important that every single Muslim needs to know it and learn about it. While they are building the Kaaba, him and his son Ismail, he says:
Ibrahim ‘Alayhis Salaam says:
“O my Rabb make ME amongst those who establish the Salaah, me and my children, make us amongst those who establish the Salaah .” (Surah Ibrahim 14:40)
