Dua

Hello, I need help with duas.

I have some personal, familial issues going on - nothing unhalal though, so keep that in mind.

I have been praying, reading the Quran and generally making my own dua of course too to ask Allah to help me in my situation, and forgiveness in some. my requests are not materialistic or anything of the sort, it’s just a personal matter I am asking Allah to make better.

so-

Now, I would also like to know if there is any specific type of duas I should do? like, recite something on a daily basis a number of times, or something? just like there is safar ki dua, and duas for when someone in sick etc etc.. there has to be something I can read/recite for a personal matter?

I have heard of one dua - qallat heelati anta waseelati etc, and i was reciting that for some time, but then I read online that alot of people are saying (not necessarily negative things), but saying, that dua isn’t exactly one to recite as it’s not proper? I don’t know.

please help in assisting. I really need it

Re: Dua

I haven’t heard of that particular dua. You haven’t mentioned the nature of what you’re asking for but I would recommend looking into Hisnul Haseen (a book of manoon duas) to see if you can find anything on that particular issue. Generally, you can also make Salatul Hajat, which is a good way for asking for what you need.

Re: Dua

When I said familial… I meant my husband and I .. we have hit a rough patch, and I need Allah to make it better, as it was before.

This is why I need to pray so much, and I myself and trying to make it better as well to supplement the prayers.

Re: Dua

For that for sure Salatul Hajat is helpful. I’ll have a look through Hisnul Haseen and see if I can find anything more specific to your goal.

Re: Dua

thank you !! I would really, really appreciate it. Allah will surely reward you with helping a wife and husband reconcile :slight_smile:

I looked up the salatul haajat, and to be honest, to memorize all those steps and duas, will be a bit hard for me, and the instructions stress the importance of 100% attention while doing it (naturally).. do you think my dua will be tainted/not done properly if my have it written down next to me while I pray? you know what i mean?

I will look up hisnul haseen too, i dont have that book

Re: Dua

I haven’t fully memorized the Salatul Hajat dua myself. When I do it, I read it out of the Hisnul Haseen (or masnoon dua app) myself. Just make 2 rakaat, then read the dua and ask for what you need.

Re: Dua

you make the salatul hajat sound so easy ! thanks for the steps. is it something i have to do once a day? or, as many times (2 rakats each) as I want? .. like, what are rules in that sense? it sounds alot like nafal prayer

I was able to find a copy of the book online, the duas mentioned for what I need are a little generic, nothing for husband and wife relation specific, so I’m thinking of using the ones for “when faced with grief, sorrow”, and “when becoming helpless in a matter” ..

Re: Dua

It is that easy. You can make it as much as you like. It is pretty much 2 nafl rakaat, and then the recitation of the dua (for hajat) and asking for what you need. I’ll have a quick look through Hisnul Haseen myself and see if there is anything else I can suggest, but it looks like you’ve been going through it already.

Re: Dua

**U can recite any dua from Quran
U can recite ‘Astaghfirullah’ as many times as u can for any situation or problem
U can recite ‘La Howla Wala Quwwata illa Billah’
U can read Durood Shareef

In teeno ki bht fazeelat byan hui hai hadeeth ki kitabon mein

Is k ilawa, koi b dua mangne k baad ‘La ilaha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu minna al zalimeen’ (Surah Al Anbiya, ayat 87) parhne se dua qubool hoti hai**

Re: Dua

Peace @akaprincess ,

A servant of Almighty Allah either enjoying a bounty for that he/she should be thankful for, or suffering a calamity that he/she should meet with patience and salaath. As Almighty Allah ordered in Holy Qur’an Chapter 2 verse 153: “O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.”. **It is narrated in **Sunan Abi Dawud Hadith No. 1319 and Book: Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat): Voluntary Prayers - كتاب التطوع, Hudhaifah said: “When anything distressed the Prophet ﷺ, he prayed”.

So it is clear that we should seek help through patience and prayer. How to supplicate is quoted below, as mentioned in The Book of the Prohibited actions - كتاب الأمور المنهي عنها, Global Id: 101743 (39).

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You must not supplicate: `O Allah! forgive me if You wish; O Allah bestow mercy on me if You wish.’ But beg from Allah with certitude for no one has the power to compel Allah.‘’ [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Another narration of Muslim is: "A supplication should be made in full confidence and one should persistently express his desire (before Allah) in his supplication, for no bounty is too great for Allah to bestow (upon his slaves).‘’

Commentary: "Beg from Allah with certitude’’ means that one should not pray with ifs' and buts’ but should make a definite prayer and insist upon it. "For no bounty is too great for Allah’’ means that Allah has absolute power to answer our prayers, whether they relate to religious or worldly matters.

In addition to what other members quoted in response to your question, a person may supplicate as quoted in below hadith.

Narrated AbuBakrah: AbdurRahman ibn AbuBakrah said that he told his father: O my father! I hear you supplicating every morning: “O Allah! Grant me health in my body. O Allah! Grant me good hearing. O Allah! Grant me good eyesight. There is no god but Thou.” You repeat them three times in the morning and three times in the evening. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ using these words as a supplication and I like to follow his practice.

The transmitter, Abbas, said in this version: And you say: “O Allah! I seek refuge in Thee from infidelity and poverty. O Allah! I seek refuge in Thee from punishment in the grave. There is no god but Thee”. You repeat them three times in the morning and three times in the evening, and use them as a supplication. I like to follow his practice.

He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The supplications to be used by one who is distressed are:** “O Allah! Thy mercy is what I hope for. Do not abandon me to myself for an instant, but put all my affairs in good order for me. There is no god but Thou.” **Some transmitters added more than others.
