What is *Afiyah*? *The SHORTEST POWERFUL PRAYER

السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ



 What is *Afiyah*?

*The SHORTEST   POWERFUL PRAYER*

*Do you know it ???*..

Al-Abbas (R.A.), the uncle of the Prophet (ﷺ), came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said:

“Ya Rasulullah, teach me a du’a.”

The Prophet ( ﷺ) said:
“O my uncle, say:

*ALLAHUMMA INNI AS’ ALUKA AL’AFIYAH*

(O Allah, I ask you for afiyah).

Know what is Afiyah?
Afiyah means –

● To be saved from any afflictions, you are in afiyah.

● To be healthy, you are in afiyah.

● To have enough money, you are in afiyah.

● To live, you are in afiyah.

● To have your children protected, you are in afiyah.

●And if you are forgiven and not punished, you are in afiyah.

So basically, Afiyah means:

*“O Allah, protect me from any pain and sufferings.”*

This includes both dun’ya and akhirah.

Al-Abbas (R.A.) thought about this for a while, and then he came back after a few days and said (paraphrased):

Ya Rasulullah, this du’a seems a little short. I want something big.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
*“My dear uncle, ask Allah for Afiyah for Wallahi, you cannot be given anything better than afiyah.”*

It is a simple du’a.
Sincerely mean what you say while praying.

“O Allah, I ask You to be saved from any:
distress,
grief,
hardship,
harm, and
don’t test me, etc.”

All of this is included in
*“Allahumma inni as’aluka al’afiyah”*
(Riyadh As Saliheen, Sunan At-Tirmidhi).

*Make sure to share this to others and tell r friends:*

Prophet Muhammed (ﷺ) said :
“Convey from me, even if it is one verse.”
*May ALLAH accept all our prayers.Ameen.*

*Share this, Baarakallaah Feekum: [“One who guides to something good has a reward similar to that of its doer” - Saheeh Muslim vol.3, no.4665]*

GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 28th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Tuesday 7th May 2024). *_GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD_*. Aameen.  Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: The Prophet (SallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "Charity is obligatory everyday on every joint of a human being.* If one helps a person in matters concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride on it or by lifting his luggage on to it, all these will be regarded as charity. A good word, and every step one takes to offer the compulsory congregational prayer is regarded as charity; and guiding somebody on the road is regarded as charity." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 4/2891]. To show gratitude to ALLAH for keeping your body safe and sound, you should give in charity or do charitable deeds. Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: ALLAH'S Messenger (sallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one w

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will p
