What Do YOU Pray For?

MuslimSister —

Salaam

Dua’s are not only the spontaneous outpourings of man's heart before his Lord, but are also an expression of his sense of nearness to Him. If one were to know how much a man supplicates, and what he supplicates about, and how he supplicates, one would be able to see how much spirituality is there in his soul.

In many circumstances we find people, totally helpless or without any means to defend themselves against wrongdoing and oppression say "all we have is the power of supplication"

To say that "it is all we have” is rather ironic, given that there is no power or might except with Allah (swt).

Sincere supplication is very powerful, and Allah (swt) answers the prayers of those who call on him earnestly.

Dua is such a powerful Ibaadat that it can create and alter Qismat (destiny).Allah (swt) is so unbelievably generous and if His servant raises his hands towards Him, He feels reluctant not to accept it.

If Allah (swt) servant keeps his mouth shut and does not ask anything from Him, nothing will be given to him. Therefore we should ask Allah (swt) for what we need so that He will give it to us. It is said that "Whoever knocks on a door persistently will be allowed in" Hence, if we keep on knocking the door of Divine Mercy, sooner or later it will be opened for us.

Dua’s….we all make them, some more then others. Some make Dua every day, after every Salaah and some pray every night before bed.

What do you ask for from your lord?-Health? Wealth? Happiness? Iman? Taqwa? Peace? Looks? Popularity?

Share your Dua’s….

Wasalam

Their understanding of Oneness of God and Polytheism is exactly same as that of the Devil.

He too believed in One God. And, he was also against committing an act of "idolatry", which in his view all the angels did commit.

Satan is a moron and Wahhabi are idiots.

Interesting logic.

she's seeks refuge from Mousy Men-

and asks God to bless them men who push prams

Do you as well?

Omrow — Tue, 9 Aug 2005 - 15:43

No.

I think you tortured her into making a wrong confession.

You're a sadist !!

MuslimSisLilSis — Tue, 9 Aug 2005 - 16:22

sorry I lied-I dont know what she prays for

but she does think highly of CONSIDERATE men-

and only considerate men push prams

and what on Earth is a Sadist?

Sadist: One who delights in inflicting cruelty to others.

Omrow[/quote]

yes thats me

but I dont get my kicks out of being cruel-but I do get my kicks out of teasing and annoying

muslim_kuri — Tue, 9 Aug 2005 - 19:19

i s'pose its better being an annoying sadist rather than an extreme terrorist one...(if theres such a thing) not that your annoying lilsis..but u get my point!

Does anyone ever convert their thoughts into dua’s?

You know sometimes when a person is mentally screwing over something that has happened…instead of spending time on this negative emotion, its best to calm down by converting that thought into a dua.

For instance….

Instead of stressing over an injustice that has happened to you….one can pray and ask Allah (swt) to give you strength and Sabr and/or to guide the person who has upset you…

Or if there’s something you want, instead of wishing for it….its best just to ask it from Allah (swt).

Or if something has made you happy, instead of replaying what has happened in your mind…just thank Allah (swt) for it…

Or if you feel sorry for someone…instead of pitying them in you head, make dua for them.

If one is feeling jealous of someone…make dua for that person (which gets rid the feeling of envy).

This all helps to transform an individual into a positive happy person instead of a bitter/negative individual.

Allah (swt) has said “Ask me for anything and I will respond to your invocation”.

You know Allah ﷺ never rejects the prayer of the person who prays for others.

So did I have a hidden agenda behind my point above? Of course…

It’s my driving test tomorrow so PLEASE everyone remember me in their dua’s tonight.

I’ve failed twice, and been travelling on public transport for years now…I really need my license.

Wasalaam

I dont think my prayers will help but nonetheless will pray for you, you have had the patience to sit your test again and inshallah you will pass it 2moro....I have heard this (not sure how true it is) but you can read surah muzambil for success and achievment.

Had another busy day today…I really miss chilling on these forums…after Ramadan inshallah, when things become less hectic I’ll be back.

By the way guys I passed my driving test today!

It was by fluke….I messed up on my parallel park and tried to do it four times! The examiner told me to relax and try it again on a different car…which I did perfectly.

The examiner was great he passed me on four minors and said to me “I didn’t see the rest”...he said to my instructor “its cos she’s an apni innit-I let her go cos she’s fasting”.

My instructor was a darling too…she was sitting in the back of the car and whenever I’d look in the mirror I could read her eyes telling me to “look at my speed”….and she’d wink at me whenever I did something right.

They were both non Muslims…I rate how they went out of their way to help me out.

Anyways, I did pass only cos of the people who prayed for me…a friend of mine even broadcasted it to 50,000 listeners on the radio this morning telling the listeners to pray for me!

Thank you to everyone who did pray for me then ^^^

I only wanted my license for mum…I was more then happy travelling on public transport….I look forward to taking her wherever she wants to go…..as soon as daddy gets me a car!

Wasalaam

MuslimSisLilSis — Tue, 25 Oct 2005 - 20:27

most women drivers I know act as if they own the road...they can get u from A to B in no time at all

proper rough

thats the kind of driver i hope my sister becomes too

but knwoing her she'll prob give way to EVRYONE-she's too considerate for her own good

but I'm sure our family will teach her some bad habits :twisted:

fizzy1 — Tue, 25 Oct 2005 - 22:00

im a crap driver. never wanted to drive but mum made me. passed 4 years ago, but refuse to go on road unless i have to.

anyway, back to subject, i keep my duas short and sweet, unless im asking for something major.

do you do dua after every namaz?

MuslimSisLilSis — Tue, 25 Oct 2005 - 22:48

[quote="Admin"]The best dua is salutation for the Prophet (saw).[/quote]

yes but u should ask for stuff from God too

if u dont ask u dont get

You — Tue, 25 Oct 2005 - 23:09

God knows better than you what you need...

You may not get what you want, but you will get what you need.

fizzy1 — Wed, 26 Oct 2005 - 16:18

when ever i pray i ask for what i want, but i know that it may not be the best thing for me, so i ask god to provide that if it is right for me, and show a sign or take it away from me if it will not be good for me.
