Allahumma lakal hamdu kama kasauw- tanihi, as-aluka khayrahu wa-khayra ma-suni'a lahu waa'u-
dhu bika min sharrihi wa-sharri ma-suni'a lahu.
"Oh Allah, all praise and thanks to You for clothing me with this (garment). I ask You for the
good of it and the good of what it was made for, and I ask Your protection from the evil of it
and the evil of what it was made for."
(Abu Dawud Book 32, Number 4009: Tirmidhi (59) Hadith Number 7)


DUAS FOR SPEECH
Qala rabbi ishrah lee sadree. Wayassir lee amree. Waohlul AAuqdatan min lisanee. Yafqahoo
qawlee
“Oh My Lord! Open for me my chest (grant me self-confidence, contentment, and
boldness). And ease my task for me; And loose the knot (the defect) from my tongue, That
they may understand my speech” (Qur’aan: 20:26)
Prophet Musa (pbuh) made this dua while proceeding to the court of Firawn for the arguments. In
this dua, there is a request to increase one’s knowledge base – an important requirement for
arguments. The second request is to remove physical limitations or limitation of resources. The
third request is to allow him make lucid, easy to understand arguments. As we know, Musa (pbuh)
was successful in the Firawn’s court and the wise men in the court had accepted the truth.

has grasp of its fore-lock. Verily, it is my Lord that is on a straight Path”.
(Qur’aan: 11:56)

dalalin mubeenin

trust. So, soon will you know which (of us) it is that is in manifest error." (Qur’aan:67:29)

Wanajjina birahmatika mina alqawmi alkafireena

practise oppression. And save us by Your Mercy from those who disbelieve."

THANKING ALLAH

lashadeedun

more (favours) unto you, But if you show ingratitude, truly My punishment is terrible
indeed." (Qur’aan 14:7)
Hatha min fadli rabbee liyabluwanee aashkuru am akfuru waman shakara fainnama yashkuru
linafsihi waman kafara fainna rabbee ghaniyyun kareemun

is grateful, truly his gratitude is (a gain) for his own soul, but if any is ungrateful, truly my
Lord is Free of all Needs, Supreme in Honour !" (Qur’aan: 27:40)
Alhamdu lillahi allathee hadana lihatha wama kunna linahtadiya lawla an hadana Allah
"Praise be to Allah, who has guided us to this (felicity), never could we have found
guidance, had it not been for the guidance of Allah." (Qur’aan: 7:43)

"O my Lord! So order me that I may be grateful for Your favours, which you have bestowed
on me and on my parents, and that I may work the righteousness that will please You: And
admit me, by Your Grace, to the ranks of Your righteous Servants." (Qur’aan: 27:19)

welcome to pious city where supplication mixed with righteousness,a gateway to paradise and stepping ladder to attain pious soul.

follow us as we bring you daily dua and remembrance of Allah to ease your task.


DUA (SUPPLICATION)
Dua (supplication) in Islam is one of the most beautiful and profound aspects of worship. It is a
direct channel to communicate personally with your Creator, Who is ever Present, and ever ready
to Respond.
THE MERIT OF MAKING DU'A
“Then do remember Me; I will remember you. Be grateful to Me, and reject not Faith”.
(Qur’aan: 2:152)
"Those who believe & whose hearts find satisfaction in remembrance of Allah for without doubt in
remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction”. (Qur’aan: 13:28)
The Prophet (pbuh) said 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”.
(Muslim, Book 035, Number 6471)
BEST TIMES TO MAKE DUA
There are certain times Dua is more likely to be accepted by Allah (SWT) as mentioned by Prophet
(pbuh). Some of these times are as follows:
1. THE LAST THIRD OF THE NIGHT
The Prophet (pbuh) said: "When it is the last third of the night, our Allah (SWT), the Blessed, the
Superior, descends every night to the heaven of the world and says, 'Is there anyone who invokes
Me (demand anything from Me), that I may respond to his invocation; Is there anyone who asks Me
for something that I may give (it to) him; Is there anyone who asks My forgiveness that I may
forgive him?” (Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 75, Number 333)
2. AN HOUR ON FRIDAY
The Prophet (pbuh) said, "On Friday there is a particular time. If a Muslim happens to be praying
and invoking Allah for something good during that time, Allah will surely fulfill his request." The
Prophet (pbuh) pointed out with his hand. We thought that he wanted to illustrate how short that
time was. (Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 75, Number 409)
The Prophet (pbuh) said: “Seek the time in which hope is placed on Friday from after the afternoon
prayer till sunset." (Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 1360)
3. THE NIGHT OF 'QADR' (DECREE)
This night in Ramadan is the greatest night of the year. The Almighty Allah (SWT) said about it,
"The night of Al-Qadar (Decree) is better than a thousand months." (Qur’aan 97:3)
4. THE DUA OF A MUSLIM FOR HIS MUSLIM BROTHER OR SISTER
The Prophet (pbuh) said “He who supplicates for his brother behind his back (in his absence), the
Angel commissioned (for carrying dua to his Lord) says: Ameen, and it is for you also”.
(Muslim, Book 035, Number 6589)
