One of the most underestimated and underrated forms of Ibaadah!
Du'a!
Calling upon Allah ﷻ!
Anas ibn Malik رضي الله عنه reported: The Prophet ﷺ said:
_“Supplication is the essence of worship.”_
[Sunan al-Tirmidhī 3371]
_
Allah ﷻ says
*ادْعُونِى أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ*
_Call upon me, I will answer you!_
[40:60]
_
People think and do not feel as if Du'a is of any use!
But Wallah!
Du'a gave victory to a small number of Muslims over a larger force, numerous times!
_
Du'a saved the Prophets عليهم السلام numerous times!
Look at Nuh عليه السلام
When he made Du'a to Allah ﷻ,
*رَبِّ لا تَذَر عَلَى الأَرضِ مِنَ الكٰفِرينَ دَيّارًا*
_My Lord! Leave not upon the land any dweller from among the unbelievers._
[71:26]
Allah ﷻ sent a flood to aid him!
_
When Yusuf عليه السلام was tempted by Zuleikha! He called upon Allah ﷻ
*قَالَ مَعَاذَ الله*
_He said " I seek refuge in Allah"_
[12:23]
_
When Ibrahim عليه السلام was thrown in the fire, he didn't turn to his father!
He said
*حَسْبِيَ اللهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيل*
_Allah is sufficient and the disposer of Affairs._
[3:173]
And the fire was made cool for him.
_
Why?
Allah ﷻ says
*وَ إِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيب*
_And when my servants ask you regarding me, then answer I am near._
*أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ*
_I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on me._
[2:186]
_
In a Hadith Qudsi Prophet ﷺ said _"Allah ﷻ said, `I am as My servant thinks of Me, and I am with him whenever he invokes Me"_
[Sahih al-Bukhari 7405]
_
Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
_“When one of you calls upon Allah, let him hope for the greatest of things. Verily, nothing has any greatness over Allah.”_
[Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān 896]
_
Anas Ibn Malik رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
_“Do not become frustrated with supplication, for no one was ever ruined by supplication.”_
[Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān 878]
_
Never think that Allah ﷻ won't answer the Du'a you're making. Unless it is to facilitate a sin like trying to get a boyfriend etc.
_
Because Allah ﷻ would answer the Du'a even from Mushrikeen calling to Him from the ships in the Sea! Even though they did Shirk as soon as He saved them!
_
So don't you think your Du'a is to be answered as a Believer!
_
As Hasan Al Basri رحمه الله said _"Why do you not continuously say Rabbi Rabbi, so perhaps he answers?"_
_
*Think about it*
