Jaami’ Dua- Prayers for any occasion: Lesson 36
Oh Allah! We ask of You all the good things
that Your Prophet Muhammad (
) asked from You. And we seek
refuge with You from all the evils against which Your Prophet Muhammad (
) sought Your refuge. You are the
Helper and You accomplish our prayers. And there is no power and no strength
except with Allah.[1]
Abu Umaamah (Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger
of Allah (
) used to recite so many
supplications that we were not able to memorize them. Thus we said: Oh Messenger
of Allah! You have supplicated so many du’a that we are not able to
memorize them. He said: “Shall I direct you to one which will comprehend all
of them? Say the words above.” (Tirmidhi)
Jaami’ Dua: Lesson 37
Oh Allah! Truly we ask of You that which
invokes Your mercy, and that which necessitates Your forgiveness, and we ask for
safety from every sin, and for treasures of every good, and for successful
achievement of Paradise and for salvation from the Fire.[2]
Jaami’ Dua: Lesson 38
Oh Changer of Hearts! Make our hearts firm on Your faith.[3]
Shahr bin Haushab (Allah be pleased with him) relates that
he asked Hadhrat Umm-Salamah (Allah be pleased with her): O Ummul-Mu’mineen!
What was the supplication made most often by the Messenger of Allah (
) when he used to be in your
house? She said: He most often used to supplicate: “Oh Changer of Hearts! Make
my heart firm in Your faith!” (Tirmidhi)
Jaami’ Dua: Lesson 39
Oh Allah! Truly I seek refuge in You from anxiety and grief; and I seek refuge in You from inability and laziness; and I seek refuge in You from miserliness and faint-heartedness; and I seek refuge in You from the burden of debt and the coercion of men.[4]
Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (Allah be pleased with him) reported
that the Messenger of Allah (
) said that if anyone has anxiety
or is in debt, he should read, morning and evening, the dua above. (Abu
Dawood)
Jaami’ Dua: Lesson 40
Oh Allah! Truly You are the Forgiver, You love Forgiveness, so forgive us.[5]
Abu Bakr as-Siddeeq (Allah be pleased with him) reports
that the Prophet (
) said: “Ask Allah for
forgiveness (‘afw) and well-being (‘aafiyah), for no one is
given anything better than well-being after being blessed with faith (yaqeen).”
Abu Fadl ‘Abbaas ibn ‘Abdul-Muttalib (Allah be pleased
with him) relates: I asked the Messenger of Allah (
): O Messenger of Allah! Please
teach me a prayer that I may ask from Allah. He said: “Seek well-being (‘aafiyah)
from Allah.” Hadhrat ‘Abbaas waited for some days and then went to him again
and once more asked: O Messenger of Allah! Tell me something which I may ask
from Allah. He (
) said: “O ‘Abbaas! O uncle of
the Messenger of Allah! Beg Allah for well-being in this life and the
Hereafter.” (Tirmidhi)
