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

[quote="MuslimSister"][quote="Seraph"]Do you think its possible to gain something thru constant and persistant dua?

Even if its not good for you??[/quote]

Salaam

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”.

hypothetical example

you want to win the lottery (gamling is haraam in Islam)

however, if u keep praying Allah (swt) will grant you ur dua?

Dawud — Tue, 1 Nov 2005 - 11:55

Hayder you got any eid plans I was thinking of staying at your on Thursday night till Friday coz there's alot of Barakat in staying awake the eve of Eid-ul-Fitr (but preferably not watching you on the revival this time)

but remembered got an appointment at half eleven on Friday.

btw its Dawud I just thought i'd go with the increasingly popular trend of incorporating 'kuri' into my name.
