In this series, Sh. Bilal Philips explains two Hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad which begin with the word Allahummah. The first Hadith is concerned with seeking Allah’s forgiveness, which is called “The master form of repentance.” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "The most superior request for forgiveness is to say, 'O Allah, You are my Lord. There is no god beside You. You created me and I am Your servant following Your covenant and my promise to You as much as I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. Before You, I acknowledge Your blessings bestowed upon me and I confess my sins to You so forgive me, for indeed no one forgives sins beside You." The second Hadith is called “The prayer for seeking good”. Jabir ibn Abdillah (one of the companions of the Prophet) shows that the Prophet used to teach them this payer for seeking good in all of their affairs the way he used to teach a chapter from the Quran. The Prophet says, "If any of you decide on a matter, he should pray two units of voluntary prayer then he should say this supplication, "O Allah, I seek Your guidance to what is good for me because of Your infinite knowledge, I seek Your help because of Your infinite power and I ask You from Your infinite grace for surely You are able and I am not and You know and I do not and You alone know the unseen. O Allah, if You know that this affair – and this is where you will mention the name of it – is favorable for my religion, my livelihood, and my aftermath of my affairs then decree it for me, make it easy for me, and bless me in it but if You know that this affair is harmful for my religion, my livelihood, and the aftermath of my affairs then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and decree for me what is better wherever it may be and make me content with it."

In this episode, Sh. Bilal Philips resumes his speech about the supplications and adhkaar which begin with basmalah or saying Allahummah such as saying basmalah before intercourse and saying some supplications which begin with the word Allahummah before sleeping or when we visit the sick people. At the end of this episode, Shaikh Bilal simply explains a hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Prophet said, "O Allah! I seek refuge in You from a heart which doesn’t fear you, from a prayer which will not be heard, from soul which never satisfied and from knowledge which has no benefit."

In this episode, Sh. Bilal Philips resumes his speech about the supplications and adhkaar which begin with basmalah or saying Allahummah. Afterwards he mentions some supplications which protect the Muslim from the devils and shows that we have to abide by the Prophet’s way concerning this issue and not to listen to other’s thoughts and experiments such as treating the possessed with beating or other methods which are not stated in the Quraan nor the Sunnah. He also confirms that not all what the Muslim suffers are stemmed from the devils or envy, but it maybe due to physiological reasons. So the Muslim ought not to always think that he is possessed or envied.

In this episode, Sh. Bilal Philips resumes his explaining of the meaning of the greatest Name of Allah and shows the root of the word "Allah".

In this episode, Sh. Bilal Philips shows his methodology of explaining Allah’s Names according to Allah’s saying in Surat Al-A’raaf "And (all) the Most Beautiful Names belong to Allah, so call on Him by them, and leave the company of those who belie or deny (or utter impious speech against) His Names. They will be requited for what they used to do". He shows that the target of this series is to show how to apply these Names in our life.
