Re: Duas
“Allah does not wish to place any hardship on you: He only wishes to cleanse you and perfect His blessing on you, so that you may be thankful.” (Qur’an 5:6)
“Believers, enter fully into surrender to Allah.” (Qur’an 2:208)
Abu Hurayra said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believer although there is good in each. Desire that which will bring you benefit, and seek help from Allah and do not give way to incapacity. If something happens to you, do not say, ‘If only I had done such-and-such.’ Rather say, ‘The decree of Allah. He does what He will.’ Otherwise you will open yourself up to the action of Shaytan."** [Muslim]**
Hz. Aisha (May Allah be pleased with her) said, "No believer makes Dua and it is wasted. Either it is granted here in this world or deposited for him in the Hereafter as long as he does not get frustrated."
It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (PBUH) said: “There is no Muslim who calls upon Allah with words in which there is no sin or severing of family ties but Allah will give him one of three things: either He will answer his prayer soon, or He will store it up for him in the Hereafter, or He will remove something bad from him that is equivalent to what he is asking for.” They said, “Then we should make a great amount of dua’a’.” He said, “Allah is greater.” [Al-Tirmidhi, 3573; classed as saheeh by al-Tirmidhi and others]
Salman (RAA) narrates from the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), “Your Rab is modest and kind. A person raises his hands in HIS court and HE leave them empty, Allah shies from it.” [Tirmizi & Abu Dawood]
Abu Hurairah (RAA) narrates from the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), “Do dua’a to Allah with this confidence that HE will accept it and know this well that Allah doesn’t accept the dua’a done with a negligent and careless heart.** [Tirmizi]**
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: “(The dua’a’) of any one of you will be answered so long as he is not hasty in seeking a response and does not say, ‘I prayed but I have not had a response.’” [Al-Bukhaari, 5981; Muslim, 2735]. When the people asked him what does ‘being hasty’ mean, the Messenger (PBUH) replied “That the person say “I did dua’a again and again but my dua’a wasn’t accepted and afterwards he becomes hopeless and leaves the dua’a. This is called haste.” [Muslim]
Do everything in moderation but keep the regularity of the deeds.
Recite the Blessed Quran as much as you can do with comfort but keep it regular.
Read about the life of the Blessed Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); you will then appreciate his struggles and sacrifices for the Deen of Allah Almighty.
Read about the lives of the blessed companions (may Allah Almighty be pleased with them all)you will the realise about their sincerity, total devotion and sacrifices for Deen of Allah Almighty.
Keep company with people who are motivated (by Islam) but not overzealous and narrow-minded.
Giving advice to anyone is very easy – I hope and pray the Allah Almighty gives me Wisdom and strength to listen to my advice that I am dishing out to you - I am in need of my advice the most - ameen
May Allah Guide Us All To Truth and Keep Us On The Straight Path - So that we love Allah Almighty as it is His Right to be Loved; Love His Book - the Blessed Quran: Love His Blessed Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)as it is his right to be loved and love the faith of Islam by its right - ameen
