Dua Is A Weapon For The Believers

Calling upon Allah in Dua (supplication)

Allah the most compassionate says in the Holy Quran, "Call on Me. I will answer your prayer, but those who are too arrogant to serve me will surely find themselves humiliated in Hell" (40:60).

Allah the Exalted, has said: "And your Lord says: Pray unto me: and I will hear your prayer" (Quran 40:60),

"Call upon your Lord Humbly and in secret" (Quran 7:55),

"When My servants question thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me" (Quran 2:186),

"Is not He (best) who listens to the (soul) distressed when it calls on Him, and who relieves its suffering." (Quran 27:62)

Dua’s are never wasted

Aisha radhiallaahu anha 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."

Allah’s anger at those who don’t make dua

In fact, it is even wrong to never make Dua, "Whosoever does not supplicate to Allah, He will be angry with Him." [Saheeh Jaami`as-Sagheer #2414]

Dua is a weapon for the believers

Rasullullah is reported to have said, “Dua is the weapon of a Muslim”.

Dua for ones brother in his absence

"The supplication that gets the quickest answer is the one made by one Muslim for another in his absence." [Abu Daw'ud and Tirmidhi]

So let us build a close relationship with Allah by making much dua to him. He loves it when his slave calls upon him and it angers him if his slave does not call upn him.

Let us have full hope that our dua’s will be accepted and if you think they won’t then know ALLAAH is keeping the rewards for you in the hereafter and those rewards are so great that one would wish that none of his duas were excepted in this world just so that one can gain all the rewards for his duas in the next world.

Ya ALLAAH, we entreat you to:

---protect us from the deceptions of Shaitan, the outcast,
---inculcate on us only the purest of intentions for Your pleasure alone,
---make us submissive to Your will alone and not to follow the whispers of Iblees,
---surround us with people who'll bring us closer to You and keep us away from the influence of the Kafir,
---make us bring our brothers and sisters closer to you as well,
---bless us with what is good in dunya and with what is best in akhira,
---not let us die in the state of disobedience but in the state of righteousness alone.

Ameen Ya Rabb, summa ameen.

Rabbana taqab bal min-na innakaantas sami-ul aleem.
(Our lord, accept from us; surely You are the Hearing, the Knowing.) [Al-Quraan 2:127]
[Supplication made by the Prophets Ibrahim (as) and Ismael (as)]
