Recite Surat al-Fatiha and Surat al-Kursee one time or more a day.

Sohbat - Are You Alarmed Against Intruders?


Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani
Oakland, CA., February 02, 2007.


In this sohbat, Mawlana Shaykh Hisham mentioned to us about the importance of reciting
the Surat al-Fatiha and the Surat al-Kursee.

Allah (saws) warns us to be alarmed - if that not everything in this life is for entertaining
ourselves. Only doing five prayers, as many people who do the obligations think that that
is enough. That is a part of the religion, but the other two thirds are the state of iman and
the state of ihsan, according to the famous hadith of Sayyidina Jibreel (aws) and
Sayyidina Omar (r). Allah (saws) wants us to be alarmed. He sent His Messenger to
alarm us - to wire us: wires that are connected together in a certain way so that if there
is one problem the system will shut down.

You can not lie. You can not dare to say, 'No, this is wrong.' When the fuse burns, the
whole system will break down. It's so simple - one step towards Shaytan and our whole
system shuts down and we follow Shaytan.

Allah (saws) gave a remedy for everything. Prophet (saws) gave medicine for everything.
And the best medicine is what the Prophet (saws) mentioned to us is what will make
things easy for you.

From Ali (r), Prophet (saws) sadi, when he was about the importanceof was asked
about the importance of Surat al-Fatiha; 'People have to know something important for
their lives in order to help themselves' - 'Attbi ' a as-sayyiat al-hasanaat' - 'Follow something
bad with something good.' It will erase it and Allah (saws) will forgive us. Allah (saws) gave
us many informations in the Holy Qur 'an which will help us to enable to us to be armed.....
There is an alarm in our mind that will pick it up.

Sayyidina Ali (r) was asked about the importance of Surat al-Fatiha concerning any problem
we have. He said, 'The Prophet (saws) told us that it was revealed from a treasure under the
throne. It was picked up and given to human beings by Allah (saws) and that is why it is
called Umm al-kitab': because it has everything in it. Sahaba used to use it for healing people
from sickness. Umran ibn Husayn said, that 'For any servant who recites al-Fatiha and
al-Kursee in his/her house - morning or evening - from eye of ins (human) and eye of a jinn
(meaning eye of jealousy and envy).' Because envy and jealousy are polluting everything we
do when we move around in our homes and outside.

The Prophet (saws) said that anyone who recites al-Fatiha and al-Kursee will not get harmed by
the jealousy of Shaytan nor of ins from their jealousy. They can not come and do you something
wrong. Shaytan knows your alarms are on today and he cannot come against you. Look how
much Allah (saws) loves His servants - how he gives what they need in dunya in order to
be good servants.
