There are modern-day Fir’awns and we have this du’aa of Aasiyah!

Fir’awn is the oppressor personified!

Allah SWT presents an inspiring example – the example of the wife of Fir’awn (Pharaoh) the oppressive monarch at the time of Prophet Musa:

Insights into Aayatul Kursi

بسم الله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله

This post is an excerpt from the Friday Sermon on Aayatul Kursi which is indeed the Greatest Ayah of the glorious Qur’an. 

The Du’aa of Laylatul Qadr

Laylatul Qadr nights have come to embrace us …. alhamdulillaah 🙂

PS: Tonight (Friday) is the Fourth Odd (27th) Night in places where Ramadhaan commenced on 6th June.

——————————-

Qur’an motivates its readers to reflect upon its verses.

In fact reflection is one of the purposes of the Qur’an.

Let us reflect over the encouraged du’aa of Laylatul Qadr along with some related  aayaat (verses) of the glorious Book of Allah, Inshaaallah. 

Through one Du’aa, you Seek Refuge from 23 hateful things!

Not only our Prophet sal-lal-laahu-alaihi-wa-sallam said, “الدعاء هو العبادة“, “Du’aa (Supplication) is Worship”, he has also shown us the way through numerous supplications that are simple and splendid indeed.

Through this one Prophetic du’aa, you seek refuge in Allah from 23 hateful things, Subhanallaah!

Also, you have the benefit of learning 23 Arabic words apart from the key phrase, ‘Allahumma Innee A’oozhubika Min…’ ‘O Allah! I seek refuge in You from…’

…Inability, Laziness, Cowardice, Miserliness, Senility, Hardheartedness, Heedlessness, Deprivation, Disgrace, Misery, Absolute Poverty, Disbelief, Rebellion, Dissension, Hypocrisy, Seeking Fame, Showing off, Deafness, Being Mute, Insanity, Leprosy, Leucoderma and Bad Sickness. 

Please proceed to download the colour-coded du’aa in PDF, InshaaAllah. 

“O Allah! Bless Us in What You’ve Given…”

Allahumma Baarik Lana Feema A’tayt is a beautiful du’aa indeed.

It means ‘O Allah! Bless Us in What You’ve Given Us’. 

We need to know why we need Allah’s Blessings in what we have with us.

I read this beautiful explanation of the phrase وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَ – Wa Baarik lee feema A’tayt – “Bless me in what You have given…” by Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen, and shared with my readers last Ramadhaan. Re-posting this insightful content as it is worth sharing again.

“Tell My Servants”, to do this and this, and I shall admit them into “My Paradise”!

Here is a collection of the verses of the glorious Qur’an in which Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’aala directs His last and final Messenger, Prophet Muhammad sal-lal-laahu-alaihi-wa-sallam, to tell to His servants about Himself and His expectations so that His believing servants execute His commands in order to win His Paradise. 

Two Best Times for Du’aa in Ramadhaan

There are two blessed times for Du’aa for those who observe fast in the month of Ramadhaan. This simple fact is explained beautifully and in a creative way by Sr. Shawana A Aziz, and the work is worth sharing, alhamdulillaah.

Be of the ‘few’, not of the ‘most’!

Found this interesting, so thought of sharing it…..

When Umar ibn al-Khattab radi allahu `anhu (may Allah be pleased with him) was walking in the market, he passed by a man who was supplicating, “O Allah, make us of Your ‘few’ servants! O Allah make us of Your ‘few’ servants!”. اللهم اجعلني من عبادك القليل

“Our Lord! Do not make us a test”

We Muslims are taught two beautiful du’aas in the Quran in relation to the Kuffar and the evil-doing people. In the present global scenario, I feel this du’aa MUST become a definite part of our daily supplications. As the du’aa is of utmost importance, the need to understand the deeper meaning of this du’aa is even more greater.

Dear sisters and brothers, Assalamu Alaikum.

The du’aa (supplication) which is very popular in the name of Sayyidul Istighfaar is this:

The du’aa of Umar ibn al Khattab رضي الله عنه

The du’aa of Umar ibn al Khattaab رضي الله عنه after reciting the Qur’an is one of its kind and the most comprehensive du’aa ever. And a very beautiful du’aa, Mashaa’Allah!

As we are entering the most blessed days/nights, the last 10 days and nights of this blessed month, I felt this might be of some use at least to those of you who are unaware of this highly meaningful du’aa.

One can make this du’aa after reading/reciting even a small portion of the Qur’an, not necessarily only at the end of one full recitation of the Qur’an. 

Attitude at sleep determines the altitude of life!

Prophet Muhammad sal-lal-laahu-alaihi-wa-sallam was a man of perfect words. He used to speak in crystal clear terms. Whether it was a private interaction or a public speech, he was amazing in the choice of words. And how can it not be when he was blessed with the Jawami-ul Kalim, the comprehensive speech. The world has no choice but to agree that our glorious Prophet sal-lal-laahu-alaihi-wa-sallam was the man with words of surgical precision. Subhanallaah!

This not-so-popular-du’aa is comprehensive. It packs in it all elements of Islamic belief and practice: Tawheed, Risalah and Aakhirah apart from highlighting the aadaab and akhlaaq that a true Muslim must have.

Words spoken by a person reveals his personality. Read this hadeeth and make it a daily habit to supplicate with this du’aa while you go to sleep. For this du’aa determines one’s standard of living. And dying! 

A du’aa from the bottom of a Believer’s heart

Young man he was. Always of caring and helpful nature. Would get upset at the slightest sight of oppression.

One day he sees two men fighting. He sides with the oppressed. In a bid to stop fighting, he gives a blow to the oppressor. The person falls dead.

He was a very sensitive youth. He feels sorry for his unintentional killing.

The king who was greatest oppressor would not leave this youth. How dare someone kills a man of the ruler’s clan. He  orders that the ‘killer’ be arrested and brought in chains. 

Rabbee Zidnee ‘Ilma

 رَّبِّ زِدْنِي عِلْمًا Those who know this du’aa from their childhood and are in the habit of making this du’aa very often are immensely fortunate.

By teaching this du’aa, parents and teachers in fact connect their children with knowledge and the Source of all knowledge.  And this connection stays till a person’s last breath. Subhanallaah!

Affectionately taught by man’s very First Teacher – Allah – to man’s Last Prophetic-Teacher, Prophet Muhammad (sal-lal-laahu-alahi-wa-sallam), this du’aa is highly meaningful:
