Fwd'ing
DEFINITION OF DU'AA
Requesting Allah's personal attention by means of supplication and invocation for the fulfillment of one's personal needs directly from Allah Himself. Therefore, the need to turn to Allah is in simple words, du'aa.
DU'AA IN HADEETH
Nu'maan Ibne Basheer reports that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Du'aa (supplication) is worship". (Aboo Daawood)
'Aa'ishah (RA) has said that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) liked comprehensive du'aa and discarded others. (Aboo Daawood)
Anas narrated the du'aa most often recited by the Messenger of Allah (SAW) , "O Allah! Grant us goodness in this world and goodness in the Hereafter and save us from the fire (of Jahannam)." (Bukhaari and Muslim)
Taariq Ibne Ushaim has reported that whenever any person entered the fold of Islaam, the Messenger of Allah (SAW) used to teach them Salaat and thereafter he would direct them to supplicate in these words, "O Allah! Forgive me. Have mercy upon me. Guide me and forbear from me and provide me with sustenance and salvation." (Muslim)
MEANING OF ACCEPTANCE
Ubaadah Ibne Saamit has reported that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Whenever a Muslim makes du'aa to Allah, He accepts his du'aa, or averts any similar kind of trouble from him. (This happens) until he prays for something sinful or something that may break the ties of kinship, (after which it is not accepted)." Upon this the Companions of the Prophet of Allah said, "Then we shall supplicate most frequently." Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said , "Allah is the bestower of things in abundance." (Tirmizi)
DU'AA FOR OTHERS
Aboo Dardaa has reported that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Whenever a Muslim prays for his brother in his absence, the angels say, "The same be for you too!" Muslim
Aboo Dardaa has reported that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "The du'aa of a Muslim for another Muslim (in his absence) is responded to, as long as he makes du'aa for goodness and blessings. And the angel says, "Aameen! And may the same be for you too! " (Muslim)
CLOSENESS TO ALLAH
Aboo Hurayrah (RA) has reported that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "A servant becomes nearest to his Lord when he is in prostration. So increase (your) du'aa in prostration." (Muslim)
DU'AA MAY NOT BE GRANTED
Aboo Hurayrah (RA) has reported that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "The du'aa of each one of you is granted if he does not demand it's answer quickly by saying, "I prayed to my Lord, but it was not granted." Muslim
TIME OF ACCEPTANCE
Aboo Umaamah Al Baahily has reported that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) was asked, "At what time does the du'aa find the greatest response?" He replied, "A du'aa made during the midnight and after the conclusion of the compulsory Salaat." (Tirmizi)
A COMPREHENSIVE DU'AA
Aboo Umaamah Al Baahily has reported that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) made many du'aa, which we could not memorise. Therefore we mentioned this to him, and he replied, "Shall I tell you a comprehensive du'aa?" Then he said, "Say: O Allah! I beg of you the good which your Nabee Muhammad (SAW) has begged you of. And, I seek your protection from the evil where from your Nabee Muhammad (SAW) has sought your protection. You are the one from whom help is sought and it is your responsibility to communicate the truth. There is no power or strength except with Allah, The Exalted, The Great." (Tirmizi)
DU'AA NOT TO ASK FOR
Jaabir Ibne Samurah has reported that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Do not invoke curses on yourself, your children or your possessions, lest you should happen to do it at a time which may coincide with the time of acceptance of du'aa, thus your du'aa might be granted." (Muslim)
