Share Your Favourite Du'a

[faisel]

InshAllah, tomorrow will mark the conclusion of the 1st week of Ramadan 2009. I hope we have all taken advantage of the time that Allah(swt) has blessed us with. One of the actions that is most loved to Allah(swt) is being in the position of sujood. It is by far the most humbling action that servant of Allah can perform. Along with sujood, we are encouraged to extend our sujoods by reciting duas, as we all know that duas are the weapons of a believer.



Our beloved Prophet(pbuh) has taught us, the ever so Merciful Creator descends to the lowest heavens during the early morning hours looking for servants of his who are asking for forgiveness. This is an optimal time to make dua. So, inshAllah lets all learn the beautiful dua below, which was recited by our father Adam(pbuh) who repented to Allah(swt) before he was sent to Earth.



Rabbana zhalamna taghfirlana wa 'allimtalana wa laqoonanna minal khaasireen.


They said: Our Lord! We have been unjust to ourselves, and if Thou forgive us not, and have (not) mercy on us, we shall certainly be of the losers.



al-A`rāf 7:23

Du'as for Fasting

When breaking the fast- Iftar

اللَّهُمَّ اِنِّى لَكَ صُمْتُ وَبِكَ امنْتُ [وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ] وَعَلَى رِزْقِكَ اَفْطَرْتُ

Allahumma inni laka sumtu wa bika aamantu [wa 'alayka tawakkaltu] wa 'ala rizq-ika aftarthu

O Allah! I fasted for You and I believe in You [and I put my trust in You] and I break my fast with Your sustenance
["wa 'alayka tawakkaltu" is quoted in some books of knowledge - but not all, hence it is in brackets]
[abu Dawud]

ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَ ابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ، وَ ثَبَتَ الأجْرُ إنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ

dhahabadh-dhama'u wab-tallatil 'urūūqi, wa thabatal arju inshaAllah

The thrist is gone, the veins are moistened and the reward is confirmed, if Allah [Ta'ala] Wills
[abu Dawud 2:306]

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسأَلُكَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ الَّتِي وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي

Allaahumma inni as’aluka birahmatika al-lati wasi'at kulli shay’in an taghfira li

O Allah, I ask You by Your mercy which envelopes all things, that You forgive me.
[a du'a that Abdullah ibn Amar (radiAllahu anhu) used to say when breaking his fast - as reported by Ibn abi Mulaykah (radiAllahu anhu)]

When someone offers you food when you are fasting and you decline

When you are invited to eat, then reply to the invitation. if you are fasting, then invoke Allah's blessings (on your host), and if you are not fasting then eat

[Muslim; 2:1054]

Upon reaching month of Rajab and Sha'ban

When the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) sighted the moon of Rajab (two months before Ramadan) he used to pray to Allah in the following words:

اَللّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِى رَجَبَ وَ شَعْبَانَ وَ بَلِّغْنَا رَمَضَان

Allahumma barik lana fi Rajab wa Sha'ban wa ballighna Ramadan

O Allah! Make the months of Rajab and Sha'ban blessed for us, and let us reach the month of Ramadan (i.e. prolong our life up to Ramadan, so that we may benefit from its merits and blessings)
[Narrated by at-Tabarani and Ahmad]

When you are fasting, and someone is rude to you

اِنَّيْ صَائِمٌ ، اِنِّيْ صَائمٌ

Inni sa'iimu, inni sa'iimu

I am fasting, I am fasting
[Sahih al-Bukhari, Fath al-Bari of Al-Asqalani; 4:1-3, Muslim; 2:806]

Upon Sighting of the new Moon

اللَّهُ اَكْبَرُ ، اَللَّهُمَّ اَهِلَّهُ عَلَيْنَا بِالآَمْنِ وَلاِيمَانِ ، وَالسَّلَامَةِ وَالاِسْلَامِ ، وَالتَّوْفِيقِ لِمَا تُحِبُّ رَبَّنَا وَتَرْضَى ، رَبُّنَا وَرَبُّكَ اللَّهُ

Allahu Akbar. Allahumma ahillahu 'alayna bil-amni wal-imaani, was-salaamati, wal-Islami, wat-tawfeeqi lima tuhibbu Rabbana wa tardha. Rabbuna wa RabbukAllahu

[at-Tirmidhi 5:504, ad-Darimi 1:336]

Upon seeing the first dates of the season

اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي ثَمَرِنَا ، وَ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي مَدِينَتِنَا وَ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي صَاعِنَا ، وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي مُدِّنَا

Allahumma barik lana fi thamarina, wa barik lana fi madinatina, wa barik lana fi saa'ina, wa barik lana fi muddina

O Allah! Bless us in our dates, and bless us in our town, bless us in our saa' and in our Mudd'

O Allah You are The One Who pardons greatly, and loves to pardon, so pardon me.

[at Tirmidhi]

[faisel]

Assalam alaikum,

This dua is found in sura 18 verse 10. Our Noble Prophet(pbuh) encouraged us to read sura kahf every Friday.

How befitting is this dua, especially for our community!

Behold, the youths betook themselves to the Cave: they said, "Our Lord! bestow on us Mercy from Thyself, and dispose of our affair for us in the right way!"

rabbana atina min ladunka rahmatan wahayyi/ lana min amrina rashadan

[faisel]

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًاوَرِزْقًا طَيِّبًا وَعَمَلًا مُتَقَبَّلًا

Allaahumma Innee As’aluka ‘Ilman Naafi’an Wa Rizqan Tayyiban Wa ‘Amalan Mutaqabbalaa

“O Allaah, I ask you for knowledge that is beneficial, and for good provisions, and for deeds that are accepted.”

This Hadeeth is narrated from Umm Salamah (RA), the wife of the Prophet (SAW), and can be found in Sunan Ibn Maajah and Musnad Ahmed, and was classed as Saheeh by Shaykh Al-Albaanee (RHMTA).

[Mar1am]

Ohhh I like this thread! Masha Allah it's a very beneficial one! JazakhAllah Khair!!

My favourite du'aa: (2:284-286)

"284: To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth and whether you disclose what is in your own selves or conceal it, Allah will call you to account for it. Then He forgives whom He wills and punishes whom he wills, and Allah is over all things competent.
285: The Messenger believes in what has been sent down from His Lord and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in Allah, His Angels, His Books and His Messengers. (They say) "We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers." And they say, "We hear and we obey. (We seek) Your Forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return (of all)."
286: Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets rewarded for that (good) which he has earned and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned. "Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error. Our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us. Our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. And Pardon us. And Grant us Forgiveness Have Mercy on us. You are our Maula (Protector) so give us victory over the disbelieving people."
