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

are you accusing me of bribery?! tauba tauba

though it doesnt hurt to sweeten the big guy up

Salaam

Speaking of “bribes”…

One of the best ways to do dua is to ask Allah (swt) through His 99 names….e.g “Ya Ghafaro (one who forgives) …You love to forgive so I ask that You forgive all the sins that I may have committed knowingly and unknowingly….

Also one is closest to Allah (swt) whilst in Sajdah so plenty of dua’s should be made then…

Send Daroods…

Acknowledge ones dependency on the Superior Being…

Be sincere..be persistent…and ask through Wasila of ones good deeds.

Wasalaam

It is never a good idea to offer bribes, especially to God.

There is nothing that He doesn't already have.

Dua for breaking a fast at the time of Iftaar, i read:

[size=18][i]Allahumma inni laka sumtu wa bika aamantu wa 'alayka tawakkaltu wa 'ala rizq-ika aftartu.[/i][/size]

thanks naj, yr a star

i also just found this on a site:

What are the duas for keeping and breaking the everyday fast in Ramadan. Write their meanings as well.

Du’a for keeping the fast (made the night before)
Nawaytu sawma ghadin min shahri Ramadan

I intend to fast during the day in the month of Ramadan
Du’a for breaking the fast

Allahumma laka sumtu wa bika amantu wa ‘alayka tawakkaltu wa ‘alaa Rizqika aftartu

O Allah! I fasted for Your sake and I believe in You and I put my total trust in You and I break my fast with the food provided by You.

don't forget to mention thanks to Allah (swt) for everything the Almighty has given you

people tend to concentrate so much on what they still want from God, they forget to give thanks for what they have already got

Wise words from a female.

Women often forget to do that in their mundane life.

I pray that God makes them a little most grateful when they fight over a lipstick.

Allah (swt) says through the lips of his beloved Prophet ﷺ “If my servant prays (i.e. Salaah) and does not call to Me (dua) he maltreats Me. If he calls to Me and I were not to respond to him, I would maltreat him. But I am not a lord who commits maltreatment.

I do. They need to be resolved. And yes, I'm working on it. It is often a slow process. I know women like to take their time. And I respect that.

[quote="Salma"]in case you'd forgotten, ur going to have to marry one and spend the rest of your life with her.[/quote]

And I really hope that she will have lots of issues.

Do you think its possible to gain something thru constant and persistant dua?

Even if its not good for you??

Sirus — Mon, 31 Oct 2005 - 21:35

if its not good for you, why would you pray for it?

yeah you may get it, but ur gona regret it!

when asking in dua, u ask for what is good for you

Well we all want things that we cant have.

we usually leave them for Santa but in this case it maybe a little outta Santa's league.

It is said that if one knocks on the Door persistently it will be opened for him…

In other words if you repeat your dua eventually you will be responded to…

However, Allah (swt) knows what we don’t know…So sometimes if we don’t get what we want it’s because Allah (swt) knows that we wouldn’t have been happy with what we are asking for…

Its always best when making a dua to add “only give this to me if YOU think it’ll be good for me in this world and the hereafter”.

Wasalaam
