:salam2:
Why we need any specific dua for a specific work? I believe if we want to do/get anything then all we have to do is pray two rakat Nafal-e-hajit and raise our hands, sincerely with honest heart, ask Almighty Allah SWT to grant us what we are whishing for.
Why we need to find a specific duas for any purpose? please discusss.
Re: I don't understand
if the dua is not mentioned in hadith explicitly for the said purpose....
then i have heard that the reason is because some peer sb/maulana sb/wali-ulla etc etc figured it out by experience that it works better than a generic/normal dua..........thats what i have heard as reasoning behind such specific duas...
like there are specific dua for diabetes, for hairloss, bloodpressure...etc etc..
Re: I don’t understand
But when we can ask directly in our words, do we need to follow the dua’s of peer sb/maulana sb/wali-ullah? Just look at this hadith.
The Book Pertaining to the Remembrance of Allah, Supplication, Repentance and Seeking Forgiveness (Kitab Al-Dhikr)’ of Sahih Muslim Haidth No. 6471
**Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger 
as saying that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, thus stated: I am near to the thought of My servant as he thinks about Me, and I am with him as he remembers Me. And if he remembers Me in his heart, I also remember him in My Heart, and if he remembers Me in assembly I remember him in assembly, better than his (remembrance), and if he draws near Me by the span of a palm, I draw near him by the cubit, and if he draws near Me by the cubit I draw near him by the space (covered by) two hands. And if he walks towards Me, I rush towards him.
**
I mean there are many many things we want in our life so its mean we copy the duas of others rather than asking directly from Allah SWT.
Re: I don't understand
Masnoon duaoo'n ne qabooliyat ke rastey dek'hey huwey hein.
The Prophet (saw) taught us certain duas for certain purposes, as mentioned in hadiths, like for drinking milk, before sleeping, looking into the mirror, entering and exiting toilet, entering and leaving home, wearing new dress, watching someone laugh, in calamities, pain....etc.
Re: I don't understand

Raat ki tanhaee Mai sajdey Mai routey Howe girgiraa ke dua mangnA...

Bhai meray......i myself believe in genuine dua direct to Allah......no waseela, waasta, patented dua etc etc...........i just told you the reasoning behind those who do this...........
Pertaining to Dua
Assalam
I also believe in making dua direclty to Allah without any mediam, except the mediam described in Quran and Hadith
Re: I don’t understand
we need specific dua for a specific reason just like we need different medicine for different diseases… & some bazurgs,from their experience, said that by reading some specific dua( which are from QURAN PAK) in certain number can be helpful for people who are in need of that thing for which that specific dua is for…as doctors give certain dosage of medicine to their patients according to their diseases…
Re: I don't understand
I have a questiOn...what if we ask someone to do dua for us? Is it ok?

Re: I don't understand
The pattern I have seen in specific du'a or reciting ayat is when the end objective is either to gain something like spiritual reward or seeking protection from all harm in the ghaib.
Like for example before going into the toilet - if we were not told about the Jinn that live in that place and the harm of entering it without seeking protection then we would be saying "Bismillah" before going in to the toilet because the general thing is that we say Bismillah before doing things. Of course for some things we cannot say this.
Reading Surah Fatihah for shif'a would be unknown if it was not told to us that it has medicinal power in hadith.
On the other hand there is du'a which is that we ask directly ... and there is no problem with that ... Most things do not have a specific du'a ... however there is a chance that some things have been sought by the prophets (AS) and by seeking their methods we are not only doing a du'a but also doing their sunnah as well.
For example: Someone is stressed out in prison because he had an accident, he can ask to be released in du'a to Allah (SWT) directly, but there was a deeper wisdom in the du'a or recitation of Yunus (AS) where this was being recited:
"Hasbunallahu wa ni`mal Wakil'' [Allah (Alone) is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs (for us).]'' (3:173).
Most people would miss this ... Yunus (AS) didn't put his hands up and say "O Allah keep me alive in the belly of this fish and get me out of here quickly. Ameen" NO ... He (AS) did it beautifully. That in his heart he was upset and wanted to get out, but in his du'a he (AS) was full of respect and trust with Allah (SWT).
When we are in need it is the best time to seek from Allah (SWT) because it is sincere ... but if we do so with wisdom and full trust to Allah (SWT) then it will be better for us ... Du'a should not be selfish ... because it seems that we do not trust the destiny that Allah (SWT) has given us ... it means that we think our situation should not have been like that and we could end up saying in du'a that The Will of Allah (SWT) is not the best way ... Of couse it is ...
When we ask we should not beg like hopeless people, but we should be like true slaves - Allah (SWT) has given us what is best for our needs, provide to us from His such and such an Attribute and feel no remorse if it is not given and feel and enjoin shukr when it is given, going back to our state of bondsmanship to Him. Those du'as of the pious predecessors are ibadat as well as supplications ... they are cleverly formulated that Praises of Allah (SWT) are inherent in them ... When people ask for du'as they are asking for the best techniques, the words uttered by those who Allah (SWT) Loves and if we emulate them then it could be Love can fall on us too.
Re: I don't understand
the words uttered by those who Allah (SWT) Loves
you mean the prophets (AS) right??
Re: I don't understand
^ I mean all of those who Allah (SWT) Loves, which includes the Prophets (AS) ... yes
Re: I don't understand
and who else? weren't the prophets the only ones who got direct communication from Allah SWT?? Like what dua would be good for what purposes...since Allah SWT would communicate it to the prophets???
Re: I don’t understand
Peace @5amra
I agree but while taking any medicine I make dua to Almighty Allah SWT that 'Put cure (shifa) in this medicine which heal me from such and such diseases. This is what I do.

Brother if I'm not wrong the dua of Hazrat Younus AS was
La Illa Ilaanat Subhanak Inni Kunt Minal Zalmeen..
Re: I don't understand
^ Apologies you are right ... I gave the wrong quote - Jazakillahukhair ... My point still stands ... for both of these verses/supplications ...
Instead of asking for being let out ... Hz Yunus (AS) reaffirmed the majesty of Allah (SWT) - after realising that it was a form of clarification and purification of motivation by putting the blessed prophet outside his ease and area of comfort - the prophet (AS) internalised the matter. Never do the words of the pious even hint blame on Allah (SWT) or gesture despair.

Peace NomiCA
It is my understanding that there are righteous people in every generation.
Re: I don't understand
Offcourse there are........my question is regarding the ability of righteous people (other than prophets) to get communication from Allah SWT about the effectiveness of Dua's and Wazeefa etc etc.........

He taught man what he knew not …
Every spark of inspiration is delivered by Allah (SWT) NomiCA … The pious are guided by Allah (SWT) it says so in the Qur’an … the tutelage chains, oral transmissions are in my understanding valid and correct.
In many cases the prophet Muhammad (SAW) appears to people in their dreams prescribing specific actions for them to perform or to pass on.
Some dubbey-peers take advantage of this … but it is quite easy to determine the reasoning behind many of the tasbeehs and du’as we are told to recite. Most of them are already in hadith anyway. There are only a select few that are not and when someone receives a wazeefah for a purpose then inevitably that wazeefah will be given on the basis that it is similar to something else that had been given in the past.
Just like ijtihad is done for modern things based on old practices in the same way wirds/wazeefahs are given based on the ijthad similar to that request that has been given in the past by the Shaykhs or recited by the Walis of the past.
