- 13. What i s Dua’?
- 14. What i s Dua’ ? • Supplication • A petition, a request, a desire, a wish, a need, a want • Loosely translated in English, you can say prayer or supplication, but it is so much more than that. • A weapon of a believer • Essence of worship. Dua’ is a common indispensable element among every faith
- 15. I n Shor t • Dua’ (prayer) is a form of Ibaadat (worship) - a powerful Ibaadat that can create and alter Qismat (destiny), and Allah is generous and if His servant raises his hands towards Him, He answers it. • We can make Dua’ for anything and everything that we need including guidance, forgiveness, paradise, solution to problems – best in this life and the Hereafter
- 16. Dua’ goes hand i n hand wi t h gr at i t ude First word in the Quran Al hamdul l i l ah
- 17. Dua’ goes hand i n hand wi t h gr at i t ude ِن لَ وَ مۡ كُ نّ دَ زيِ لََ مۡ تُ رۡ ڪَ شَ نٮٮِلَ مۡ كُ بّ رَ نَ ذّ أَ تَ ذۡ إِ وَٮٕ ٮٕ دٌ۬ꆨ ديِ شَ لَ ب ىِ ذباَ عَ نّ إِ مۡ تُ رۡ فَ ڪَ And remember when your Lord proclaimed: IF YOU ARE GRATEFUL, I will surely INCREASE YOU. [Surah Ibrahim 14:07]
- 18. Dua’ goes hand i n hand wi t h gr at i t ude لَ وَ ل ىِ باْ روُ ڪُ شۡ وٱَ مۡ كُ رۡ كُ ذۡ أَ ىنِ روُ كُ ذۡ فٱَٓ نِ روُ فُ كۡ تَ So remember Me, and I will remember you, and be thankful to Me and be not ungrateful to Me. (Surah Baqarah 2: 152)
- 19. Dua’ A Tot al Wi n- Wi n • More Dua’ means more remembrance of God! • A worship that can be done irrespective of any state you are in • You can make Dua’ in your own language and in your own time and in any place. • Sometimes you don’t even need words in a Dua’. It is just a spiritual connection between you and your Lord.
- 20. Why shoul d we make Dua’?
- 21. We ar e al ways i n need Human beings are always in need of something because we are not self sufficient. Whereas God (Allah SWT) is self sufficient AS-SAMAD. He does not need anything from anyone. We need Him, he does not need us.
- 22. Aski ng t he One who i s capabl e of gi vi ng • He is capable of giving and He loves to give • When you ask something from a person vs. when you ask something from Allah
- 23. Because He knows Allah is close to every one of us. He has the knowledge of our wishes, feelings, thoughts, every word uttered, anything whispered and even what is concealed deep in our thoughts. He knows and hears everyone who turns to Him and makes Dua’ to Him.
- 24. Because He t ol d us t o ask Hi m “And when my servants ask you about Me, then no doubt about it I am near. I respond to the call of one when he prays to Me. So let them respond to Me, and have faith in Me, so that they may be on the right path.” (Surah Baqarah 2:186)
- 25. Because He t ol d us t o ask Hi m • This is God’s blessing on mankind and a manifestation of His mercy, grace and infinite power. • Notice the use of word When instead of If • Allah says that I am near – implying that He is already near. And we know that Allah has mentioned in the Quran that He is closer to each one of us individually – Closer than our jugular vein (Surah Qaf 50:16) • For answering the Dua’, Allah uses the word Ujeeboo which means I answer immediately – not that I will answer or I try to answer
- 26. Because He t ol d us t o ask Hi m Your Master has said: “Call Me, I will respond to you. (Surah Ghafir 40:60)
- 27. Because Hi s Pr ophet ( PBUH) r emi nded us The messenger of Allah, Prophet Muhammad, Peace Be Upon Him, said: “Shall I introduce to you a weapon which will protect you both from the evils of enemies and increase your sustenance?” They said: Yes, O Messenger of God. He said: “Call upon your Master day and night, for “Prayer” is the weapon of a believer.”
