O my Lord! Grant me helpers to assist me in Your religion, and take away my worries and make me succeed in my efforts; there is nobody else to help except You.
Wamaa
taufeeqee illa billaahi, rabbi’an-tiquaa bil-haqqi waksif’-alainal haqqa
wahdinaa ilaa haqqin mubeen.
I am not in a
position to achieve anything without the favour of Almighty God. O my Lord,
help me to speak truth, reveal truth to us and guide us to righteousness.
Bismillah-illazi laa yazwurru ma’asmihi shay-unn fil
ardzi wa laa fis-samaa’a-ee wa huwa sami’-ul ‘aleem.
In the name of Allah, the name of Whom none in this world and in the
heavens can do any harm, and He hears all and knows all.
Rabbin surrni ‘alal qawmil-mufsideen.
O my Rab, help me against the people who are creating havoc.
Wa laa tousmitbi aduwan wa laa laasedan.
Let not any jealous or enemy humiliate me.
Rabbi kullu shay-inn khaadimuka; Rabbi faahfazna wan
surna war hamna.
My Rab, all things are Your servant; My Lord protect us and guide us and have pity on us.
Yaa
Haiyyu, Yaa Qayyuumu bi Rahmatika asta-ghissu inna Rabbi Rabbu-samaawaati wal
ardz.
You, the
Ever-Living, You the one who exists by Yourself and who makes all exist; I
beseech You Help from Your Grace. Surely You are my Rab, surely You alone are
the Rab of the heavens and earth.
Allahumma
munzilal kitaab wa mudjriyas sahaab wa haazimal ahzaab ihzimhim wansurnaa
‘alayhim.
O Allah, You Who
have sent down the Book, Who makes the clouds move and Who makes troupes
scatter; scatter them (mention the name of our opponents) and help us
against them.
Allahumma inni a’uzubika min jahdil balaa-i, wa
darkish-shiquaa-i, wa suu-il qazwaa-i, wa shamaa tatil a’daaa-i.
O Allah, I seek refuge with You against difficulties, against evils and
against wrong judgements and the rejoice of the enemies.
Hasbiyallahu liddeeni, hasbiyallahu limaa ahammani,
hasbiyallahu limann baghi’a alayya, hasbiyallahu limann hasadanee, hasbiyallahu
limann kaadanee bissuu-in.
Allah suffices for me for my religion. Allah suffices for me against
that which torments me. Allah suffices for me against the one who oppresses me.
Allah suffices for me against the one who envies me. Allah suffices for me
against the one who prepares a ruse against me.
Allahumma anta a’zwuudi wa nasweeri bika anhuulu wa
bika ass-wuulu wa bika uqaatilu.
O Allah, You are my Arm (my Support) and my Help and I roam freely due
to Your help, I attack by Your help, and I face (the enemy) with Your help.
Fa ‘ithas tawaita anata waman ma’aka alal fulki fa
quill hamdu lillaahil lazi najjaanaa minal qawmiz-zaalimin wa qul: Rabbi ‘anzilnee
munzalam mubaarakan wa anta khairul munzileen.
And when you have embarked on the Ark – you and those with you – say:
“Praise be to Allah Who has saved us from the people who do wrong.” And say:
“My Lord, enable me to disembark with Your blessing, for You are the best to
enable us to disembark.”
Laa
ilaaha illallahul-Haleemul-Kareem. Subhaanallahi Rabbil-‘arshi ‘azim.
Al-hamdulillah Rabbil-‘alameen. As-‘aluka mujibati rahmatika, wa ‘aza-ima
maghfiratika wal ismata min kulli thanbin, wal ghaneemata min kuli birrin,
was-salamata min kulli ithmin. La tada’ li dhanban illa ghafartahu, wala hamman
illa farajtahu, wala hajatan hiya laka ridan illa qadaytaha ya
Arhamar-Rahimeen.
There is no deity besides Allah, the Most Forbearing and Kind, Who is
unblemished and Lord of the Great Throne. So praise be to Allah, the Cherisher
of the worlds – I do seek all causes of the grant of Your mercy and forgiveness
and I do seek thorough escape from sin, a full share of virtuous deeds and
complete safety from inequity. (O Allah) let not a single sin of mine be left
out from being forgiven, nor worry and pain from being relieved, nor need which
is agreeable to You from being fulfilled, O You, the Most Merciful of the
merciful.
Allahumma maghfiratuka au-sa’u min thunuubee wa
Rahmatuka arjaa indee min amalee.
O Allah, Your forgiveness is far more extensive than my sins and Your
forgiveness is far more promising unto me than my (good) actions.
Allahumma salli alaa Muhammadin abdika wa rasoolika wa
‘alal Mu’mineena wal Mu’minaati wal Muslimeena wal Muslimaati.
O Allah, shower Your blessings on Muhammad (pbuh), Your servant and
Messenger and on the believing men and women and on the Muslim men and women.
To solve a Jamaat problem in a country where we have established the
Jamaat (a poor country), I contracted a debt with someone, taking a big sum of
money from him and we agreed that I would be paying him back in five months.
So, when the day came to return the money, I could not do so as I was facing
financial problems. So, I explained my problem to the kind borrower and he
politely agreed to give me additional time to pay him back the money. He gave
me an additional three months to pay back my debt. I told him that Insha-Allah,
I will return all his money.
So, I turned in prayer to my Rab, my Allah (swt) to open a way for me to
pay back my debt. One day, in the month of October 2019 (on a Monday after the
Tahajjud and Fajr prayers), I fell asleep and found a man in white clothes and
long beard (a very beautiful, white and handsome man) put his hand on my head –
at that moment, I smell a very good fragrance/ perfume – and he told me to
recite after him this duah:
Allahummak fine bi-halaalika an haraamika wa agh-ni-nee
bi fadh-lika amman siwaaka. Allahumma faarijal hammi kaashifal ghammi mujeeba
da’watil mudh-tar-reen rahmaanad dunyaa wa raheemahaa anta tarhamunee far
hamnee bi rahamatin tugh-nee-nee bihaa an rahmati man siwaak.
O Allah, provide me with lawful livelihood, adequate to my needs instead
of ill-gotten one, and graciously grant me freedom from needing anything from
anyone besides Yourself. O Allah, the Soother of worry and grief, Grantor of
the prayer of helpless people, the Giver of mercy and grace in this world and
the hereafter, You alone can have true mercy on me, so favour me in a way that
I may no longer stand in need of the kindness of others.
And this personality (angel) also made me recite the following prayer:
Allahumma
Maalikal Mulki tu’til Mulka man tashaa’u wa tanzi’ul Mulka mimman tashaaa’u. Wa
tu’izzu man tashaa’u wa tuthil-lu man ta-shaa’u biyadikal khayru innaka ‘alaa
kulli shay’in qadeer. Rahmaa-nad dunyaa wal aakhirati tu’teehimaa man tashaa’u
irhamnee rahmatan tughnee-nee bihaa an rahmati man siwaaka.
O Allah, Master of
all Sovereignty; You give dominion to whomsoever You please and You snatch it
away from whomsoever You please. You exalt whomever You please and You degrade
whomever You please. All good is in Your Hands. You have power over all things.
You are the giver of mercy in this world and the
hereafter. You give sovereignty and honour to whomever You please and deprive
whomever You please of these two. So favour me in a way that I may no longer
stand in need of the kindness of others.
Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah –
By the grace of Allah (swt), I recited these duahs every day after Fajr
as well as the Esha prayers. Within one month Allah (brought about) such avenues through which
I could pay back my debt. Before the three months period, I was able to
reimburse the total amount of money due. Alhamdulillah, Fatabaarak-Allahu
Rabboul Aalameen. [All Praise be to Allah. All thanks to You, O Allah,
the Lord of all the Worlds].
In 2018, my family and I went to perform Umrah in Makkah Shariff (five
days). Afterwards, we went to Madina. Before preparing ourselves for our
journey to Madina, I went to sit very near the Ka’aba Shariff and made a lot of
prayers (duahs). While invoking Allah, I suddenly heard a very beautiful
voice reciting the following duah in my ear:
Allahumma zuqnee shahaadatan fee sabeelikawaj’al
mautee bibaladi Rassoolika.
O Allah, grant me martyrdom in Your way and cause me to die in the city
of Your Messenger (pbuh).
Before I end this concluding sermon on the subject of duahs [for
the time being], I wish to say that, to save mankind from capriciousness
(inconsistency) Allah (swt) has given to mankind, the instrument of prayer,
without which, man is not in a position to use fully his capabilities, to
attract the blessings of God. The existence of our lives is dependent on
prayers along with good deeds and fear of God. I have been sent that I should
prove that Islam alone is the living religion. Duah in reality is the
prayer. Acceptance of duah in fact is not possible without prayers.
Alms, duah and charitable acts are the shields against misfortunes. This
is the reason that God has not limited the scope of prayers. Islam and the Holy
Prophet (pbuh) have told us, in a nice manner, that even the biggest things
should be requested from Allah (swt) and the smallest things, even, cannot be
attained without the blessings of Almighty God. I ask you to be patient.
Remember that the greatest force is the force of patience, which is always
granted to the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam which has been established by Almighty
God and nobody can combat this force. Patience leads you towards duah,
and duah, patience consolidate the Godly Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam into
higher stage of spirituality.
Alhamdu lillaahil lazi bi ni’-mathihee ta-timmus saalihaat.
All praise is due to Allah, by Whose honour and majesty, deeds of virtue
are accomplished.
So, I close this subject for the time being. All praise be to Allah Who
has enabled me to talk on this very important subject. Without His help and
mercy, I would not have been able to expound on it. The fact remains that these
are only few of those duahs – especially, those revealed in this present
era of Divine Revelation. There are many other revealed duahs, as well
as the Quranic duahs and those of the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh), and the prayers of Hazrat Massih Ma’ud (as). Insha-Allah,
when the times come, it is Allah Who shall give the Tawfiq to expound on
a second series of duahs in my sermons. Insha-Allah.
May Allah bless all of my followers, and other Muslims and mankind as a whole and save us all from troubles and hardships and give us life as long as life is in our best interests, and may He give us death when it is in our interest and may Allah be completely satisfied with us. Insha-Allah, Ameen.
