Dua

Allah said, ﴾Say, “What would my Lord care for you if not for your supplication?”﴿^[1] .*Refer to Appendix 1 for how to pray Night Prayer and al-Ghufaylah prayer .

Allah said, ﴾And your Lord says, “Call upon Me; I will respond to you .” Indeed, those who disdain My worship will enter hell [rendered] contemptible .﴿^[2] Supplicate to Allah in ease and in hardship, and in every need, whether large and small . And do not consider something to be too small for you to request it from Allah, and do not consider something to be too large for you to request it from Allah, as you never achieved good except that it was from Allah, and no one has pushed evil away from you except for Allah . And it was narrated that Allah inspired to Moses pbuh , ﴾O Moses, ask Me for the salt in your batter, and for the lace on your shoes, and for the feed of your animal .”﴿ O beloved ones, know that Allah swt cannot be limited with an attribute, and His giving has no end, it rather descends in proportions because our world is limited, so ask whatever you want from the good of this world and the hereafter, which has the good of your religion and the satisfaction of your Lord, and do not miss the dua in Al-Sahifa al- Sajjadiyya, for it is the Psalms of the family of Muhammad pbut , and especially the dua of Kumayl on the evenings of Fridays, and the Dua of Abu Hamza al-Thumali, and the Munajat of Shaban .^[3] And I mention here this dua, may Allah make it a salvation from the plots and the deception of this world, and may Allah support some people toward contemplating its meanings or memorizing it, and supplicating with it in any way . In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Intensely Merciful My God, You have settled us in a home which has dug for us pits of its deception, and has fastened us by the hands of demise in the snares of its treachery . In You we seek refuge from the tricks of its deceit, and to You we hold fast, lest we be deluded by the glitter of its ornaments . It destroys its pursuers and ruins its settlers, it is stuffed with blights and loaded with calamities . My God, help us to forsake it and keep us safe from it by Your support and Your infallibility . Strip from us the robes of opposing You, attend to our affairs through Your fine sufficiency, amplify our provision from the plenty of Your mercy, receive

the general act of our prayer ^[4] by the overflow of Your grants, plant in our hearts the trees of Your love, complete for us the lights of Your knowledge, give us to taste the sweetness of Your pardon and the pleasure of Your forgiveness, gladden our eyes on the day of meeting You with the vision of You, dislodge the love of this world from our hearts, just as You have done for the righteous ones from Your elite and for the pious ones from Your particular ones, by Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the intensely merciful, O Most Generous of the intensely generous .^[5] And always supplicate to Allah in every situation, in work and in free time, in night and in day, and especially after the obligatory prayer before you leave your position [of prayer] . And praise Muhammad and the family of Muhammad often, and do not abandon the prostration of gratitude after each prayer, and after each blessing that Allah swt bestows upon you, and after each harm that He pushes away from you . And the way to do it is that you prostrate and then place your right cheek on the ground, then the left cheek, then back to prostration, and the least to be said in it is shukran lillah [all thanks to Allah] three times, and the best is one hundred times . And some of the duas that the believers should maintain especially after the morning prayer are: 1. “There is no god but Allah alone Who has no associates, to Him is all sovereignty and to Him are all praises, He gives life and causes death and causes death and gives life and He is alive and does not die, all good is in His hand and He is capable of everything .” Ten times after morning prayer and before sunset . 2. “Praise be to Allah the Almighty, and there is no ability or power except for the Most High, the Almighty .” Ten Times . 3. “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone Who has no associates, a god who is one, alone, singular, the Eternal, Who has taken no wife or son .” Ten times . 4. “O Allah send your prayers upon Muhammad and his progeny hasten their relief .” One hundred times . 5. “All praises are due to Allah, and there is no god except Allah, and Allah is the Greatest .” Thirty times . And just as these duas have benefit for the hereafter, they also have

a worldly benefit, and they push away the evil of the rulers and Satan .
