#du’ā
Text
I was sitting on my prayer mat and a realisation dawned on me and subhanaAllah, i couldn’t help but cry. I am living the du’as i had made 2 years ago, exactly the way i had made them but even better than i had imagined. Never stop making du’a for what you want, even if you think it’s impossible. Even if you feel like you will never get that far. Allah hears. Allah sees. Allah knows.

It’s important to differentiate between ‘Uqūbah (punishment) and Musībah (calamity), and as a believer, every hardship and calamity is considered good with the condition that he’s patient, and every delightful time is considered good for a believer with the condition that he’s thankful.
Even during the hardest times of your life when you’re almost helpless, if Allāh uses you to support the Dīn, I believe that’s the greatest blessing and dream come true. Scars will remain here and there, but the strength of Īmān outweighs and overcomes all hurtful experiences. If it wasn’t for calamities, we wouldn’t be the same person that we are today, and a sign that Allāh loves you, is that He keeps you steadfast and answers your sincere du’ā, whereas the one who isn’t sincere in private would stumble and fall over, we ask Allāh for well-being and good-health.
— Abū Bakr at-Tarābulsī (فك الله أسره).

When making du’ā, know that you are addressing the One who has no limits or boundaries. The One Who is the Lord of the impossible.
Allāh is capable of granting the most grandiose and seemingly impossible requests.
Do not limit your prayers due to fear or doubt, but pray with optimism and boldness, knowing that Allāh is capable of fulfilling your deepest desires and aspirations.
For He, is beyond human comprehension. He is not bound by the constraints of time, space, or human limitations.

Take comfort in knowing that your Lord hears every single du’ā that you make. Every single word.
He knows, He hears, He listens.

Sufyān bin ‘Uyaynah رحمه الله said:
“Do not abandon dua and do not let (the evil) that you know about yourself prevent you from Du’ā.
Indeed Allāh answered Iblīs whilst he is the evil of all creation.”

The prayer mat sees tears and hears Du’ās that no one else but Allah سبحانه و تعالى is aware of.
The only place where the heart finds contentment is in Sujood.
May Allah سبحانه و تعالى eliminate all our worries, grant us happiness and all that is best for us.

An important reminder from our beloved Shaykh:
“They asked Abū ‘Ubaydah al-Khawwas why he hasn’t laughed in 40 years?
He said: How can I laugh when a Muslim is still imprisoned by the Mushrikīn? [Narrated in Sifāt as-Safwah (2/416)]
What would he do if he seen the attitude of Muslims today towards their captives! Torture, humiliation, violation, forgotten, neglected families!
Have you thought about Muslim captives or their families? Have you ever raised your hands in du’ā for them? Have you asked Allāh to keep them steadfast under the torture and in the dark lonely cells? Have you ever imagined feeling what they and their families feel?
Keep the answer between you and Allāh! But know: captives and their families have rights upon us, and He will ask us about it!”
— Shaykh Ahmad Jibrīl (حفظه الله).

Ramadān Tips:
By Shield of Taqwa
1. Limit your use of social media and spending excessive time on it socialising. Every second of Ramadān is precious, so don’t waste your time online if it won’t bring any benefit. However, online platforms should be used for spreading reminders and benefits, and one shouldn’t stay away from it completely if they are using it to benefit the Ummah.
2. Eat healthy. Don’t overeat and stay away from unhealthy foods as it will effect your quality of ‘Ibādah. Drink plenty of water when you can.
3. Don’t waste time after you break your fast like many do and excessively socialise. It’s best to stay away from such gatherings in the first place so you don’t fall into doing and speaking about harām things.
4. Always make extra effort and do more as Allāh has made ‘Ibādah so easy for us in this blessed month, alhamdulilāh.
5. Utilise the early hours of the morning well after Fajr, as they have so much barakah in them. Use this time to recite a lot of Qur’ān, memorise and reflect over it and remember Allāh.
6. Recite as much Qur’ān as possible! If you struggle with this, base your recitation around the prayer times and try to at least read a page before and after each Salāh and increase as you go. Although there’s nothing wrong with completing the Qur’ān as that’s what the righteous of the past used to do in this blessed month, don’t forget to also read the tafsīr and reflect over the meanings. This will have a greater effect on one’s Īmān, Taqwā and Salāh, inside and outside of Ramadān.
7. Get a decent amount of rest so you can wake up frequently if able in the last third of the night to do extra ‘Ibādah. There are special times where du’ā is more likely to be answered, now imagine the likelihood of it being answered in the last third of the night, during Ramadān, in Sujūd, and even more so if that night was Laylatul Qadr!
8. Seek Laylatul Qadr every night in the last ten nights, especially the odd nights, and refrain from singling one night out and ignoring the rest. Allāh will only allow the true, sincere ones who make effort with ‘Ibādah to witness this amazing, blessed night.
9. Help your brothers and sisters whenever you can with their needs and hasten to do good deeds even faster in this month.
10. Be humble in front of Allāh and turn to Him in repentance every day and night of Ramadān. Only Allāh knows how many sins we have accumulated over the year so we need to beg Allāh for His forgiveness during these blessed days and nights, and think well of Allāh always.
These are a few tips, but there is so much more that can be done to maximise our ‘Ibādah in this month. Also don’t forget to make plenty of du’ā for the entire ummah; those living and those in their graves.
May Allāh accept our worship and help us truly give this blessed month its rights.
اللهم آمين

Shaykh Mūsā Jibrīl (Shaykh Ahmad’s noble father) has been ill and in intense pain for most of the past month.
We request all the brothers and sisters to please keep him in your sincere Du’ās. May Allāh تعالى grant him a swift, complete recovery from his illness and make it a means of increasing his ranks. May Allāh preserve our beloved Imām upon goodness and grant him a long life full of good deeds.
Remember him and all the suffering, oppressed Muslims in your Du’ā in Sujūd during the last third of the night.

Advice on how to trust the Qadr of Allah when you lost someone you desperately loved and made plans to spend the rest of your life with. This was the person I almost got engaged to and this is the first time I ever came so close to my lifelong dream of getting married and having kids with someone I genuinely and truly loved. It was a truly special and beautiful connection that was only ruined because of his parents. I know there’s khayr in this for me and I know it will get better but it’s so hard to not reach out to them and accept that this it the plan of Allah. The possibility that he might find someone else someday and she will get everything that I suffered and worked so hard for with such ease simply because it was destined for her and not for me really breaks my heart more than anything. I don’t know if I will ever be able to love someone again because I invested so much of my time and heart for three years into this. We got off on the wrong start but eventually realized our mistakes, repented and sincerely and genuinely strived to make it halal. I don’t want to let go of him and find someone better even if they existed because I genuinely do not believe I will be able to love someone else or imagine someone else taking that place in my heart. He was all I ever wanted.
i’m so sorry. this is such a horrible and heart aching situation. I want to tell you that having faith in Allāh and sabr in these hard times isn’t supposed to be an anecdote to the pain. it will hurt even if you have faith and it will hurt even with the knowledge that when something is taken from you it is replaced with a far better thing.
when we meet someone and everything aligns we convince ourselves that this person is the only person on earth for us. i’m telling you this is pure delusion. yes you have history with this person but that doesn’t mean you can’t make history with someone else. you think your heart won’t ever open up again but wait until Allāh sends you the man that is meant for you and watch him reset your feelings like a watch.
time heals. i know you feel wronged. I’ve felt that way. i gave someone up for the sake of Allah once and despite knowing it was the right thing to do, i remember feeling so angry at fate. i made so much du’ā that Allāh would kill off these horrible emotions within me and compensate. and He did. i’m happier than I have ever been. you will feel it too someday. May the Almighty grant you ease and a beautiful patience.

The sufīs hate ibn ‘abdulwahāb. They claim ‘he made takfīr of the muslims’ you know why? Because they direct worship to other than Allāh. they make du’ā, isti’āna, istigātha, isti’ādha and whatnot to other than Al-wāhid. they give Allāh’s rights to other than Him and so they find it strange when they hear whoever does those acts is a mushrīk!
It’s so sad how the laymen are upon misguidance because of ignorance. May Allāh guide and make the truth clear to them. May Allāh make us sincere.

The Qunoot of Witr is specific to the final Rak’ah of the Witr prayer according to the majority of the scholars. The Sharī’ah has legislated a particular du’ā to be recited in the Witr prayer. Hasan bin ‘Ali (radiyallāhu anhumā) narrated: Allah’s Messenger (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) taught me the words I should recite in the Qunoot of Witr:
اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي فِيمَنْ هَدَيْتَ وَعَافِنِي فِيمَنْ عَافَيْتَ وَتَوَلَّنِي فِيمَنْ تَوَلَّيْتَ وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَقِنِي شَرَّ مَا قَضَيْتَ إِنَّكَ تَقْضِي وَلاَ يُقْضَى عَلَيْكَ وَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَذِلُّ مَنْ وَالَيْتَ وَلاَ يَعِزُّ مَنْ عَادَيْتَ تَبَارَكْتَ رَبَّنَا وَتَعَالَيْتَ
“O Allah, guide me among those whom you have guided, grant me wellbeing among those whom you have granted wellbeing, take me into Your charge among those whom you have taken into your charge, bless me in what you have given, guard me against the evil of what you have decreed, for you are the One who decrees, and nothing is decreed for you. He whom you befriend is not humiliated―and none whom You have taken as an enemy shall be honoured. Blessed and Exalted are you, our Lord.” (Abu Dawūd, no. 1425, declared sahīh by Al-Albāni) In a narration, there occurs the addition: لا منجا منك إلا إليك “There is no salvation from you except by nearness to you.” (See Sifatus-Salāh An-Nabiyy, p. 181 cited by Al-Albāni)
When is it recited?
The Sunnah is that the Qunoot du’ā should be uttered after a person has finished his recitation and before the Rukū’ in the final Rak’ah of Witr. Ubayy bin Ka’b (radiyallāhu ‘anhu) narrated: “Allah’s Messenger (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) would recite the Qunoot in Witr before the Rukū’.” (Abu Dawūd, no. 1427, declared sahīh by Al-Albāni)

How blessed are we to experience Yawm ‘Arafah and Jum’uah in one day. Do not let a moment go to waste. Fast, pray extra Qiyam, read Qur’ān, pray salaatul-Duhaa, keep your tongues moist with the dhikr of Allāh, recite your morning and evening adhkar & most importantly make lots of du’ā. Spend every moment in remembering Allāh.

“In a certain period of her life, I noticed that every Du’ā that she uttered from her lips would be accepted within mere moments.
I prayed side by side with her one night, and said my Salams a few minutes after she had already concluded her Salah. I turned to her and noticed that she was making Du’ā, and in my desperation, I asked her to make Du’ā that Allāh solves an issue for me that I had been facing for 7 years at that point.
She nodded her head, but remained silent for a long time. In that time I did my Dhikr, and when she saw that I had finished, she said to me, “Child, of course I will make Du’ā for you, I’m your mother. I understand that you asked because you know that the Du’ā of a mother for her child is likely to be accepted. But you should know that you need not ask anyone else to make Du’ā for you when you are the one in need. The one who is desperate has more priority in being answered by Allāh when he invokes Allāh for relief than anyone else. I will supplicate for you as I always do, but I don’t want you to have any dependence on my Du’ā, I want you to make Du’ā yourself and have full reliance that Allāh will answer you. He will. And if He doesn’t, then just know that there is benefit for you to remain in the difficulty which you are seeking relief from. He knows better, so be content, but don’t abandon your Du’ā. He will grant you relief, just watch.”
Of course I knew this from before, but to be reminded of it on the spot verbally and from my mother made me feel immensely ashamed in front of Allāh that I had even thought for a moment that someone else’s Du’ā had more chance of being answered by Him, when I was the one in need, and He promised to respond to the one in need.
أَمَّن يُجِيبُ ٱلْمُضْطَرَّ إِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيَكْشِفُ ٱلسُّوٓءَ وَيَجْعَلُكُمْ خُلَفَآءَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ أَءِلَـٰهٌ مَّعَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ
“Is He [not best] who responds to the desperate one when he calls upon Him and removes evil and makes you inheritors of the earth? Is there a deity with Allāh? Little do you remember.” [An-Naml]
Little did I remember indeed.
I raised my hands. I supplicated. I supplicated that night, and continued to supplicate for days afterwards, and just as I expected, Allāh سبحانه وتعالى answered me. He cleared me of my issue as if I never suffered from it, and granted me the best relief walhamdulillah.
My mother’s reminders always came when we least expected it, but when we needed it most. Some people assume that when the child reaches adulthood, Tarbiyyah is over and the job is done. But every moment I spend with her, I feel I’m still being raised and taught. No matter how many times I’ve heard something from her before, every time she repeats it, it’s only further cemented, and it pierces my heart as if it’s the first time I ever heard it.”

Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah(رحمه الله):
“Du’ā is like a weapon, and a weapon is only as good as the person who is using it; it is not merely the matter of how sharp it is. If the weapon is perfect and free of faults, and the arm of the person using it is strong, and there is nothing stopping him, then he can lay waste the enemy. But if any of these three features is lacking, then the effect will be lacking accordingly."
N/B; Dua is a supplication.
[Al-Daa’ wa’l-Dawaa’, p. 35]
