The importance of dua as muslims

 The importance of dua as muslims

Alhamdulillah, Dua is very important and a strong weapon of a believer 

The messenger of Allah salla Allahu alayhi wasalam used to make dua alot in every matter he finds himself and when in distress. 

As Allah says, 

Ghafir 40:60

And your Lord says, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you." Indeed, those who disdain My worship will enter Hell [rendered] contemptible.


Making dua' after solaah is obligatory according to the correct consensus of the scholars.

After the solaah, it is obligatory to say,

Astaghfiru Allah three times and then saying,

Allahumma Antas salaam wa minka salaam tabaraska muka dhal jaleel wa ikraam.


As reported in hadith,

Aishah narrated:

When Allah's Messenger said the Salam he would not remain seated except long enough to say: (Allahumma antas-salam wa minkas-salam, tabarakta dhal jalali wal-Ikram) 'O Allah! You are the One free of defects, and perfection is from You. Blessed are You, Possessor of Majesty and Honor.'"

Jami` at-Tirmidhi 298.

Thawban, the freed slave of Allah's Messenger, narrated that ::

Allah's Messenger said: "When Allah's Messenger wanted to turn from his Salat, he would seek forgiveness from Allah three times, then say: (Allahumma Antas-Salam, wa minkas-salam, tabarakta ya dhal-jalali wal-Ikram) 'O Allah You are the One free of defects and perfection is from You. Blessed are You, O Possesor of Majesty and Honor.'"

Jami` at-Tirmidhi 300.


Then we have dua to seek help from Allah reciting Al Qunut in the prayer or in sujud against the one who oppressed us.

As the prophet salla Allahu alayhi wasalam used to curse people who oppressed him for one month.

As reported in hadith,

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

The Prophet (ﷺ) recited Qunut for one month (in the Fajr prayer) asking Allah to punish the tribes of Raland Dhakwan.

Sahih al-Bukhari 1003.

Narrated Anas:

When the reciters of Qur'an were martyred, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) recited Qunut for one month and I neversaw him (i.e. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)) so sad as he was on that day.

Sahih al-Bukhari 1300.

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
