 وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ"

`Bismillahi, tawakkaltu `alallahi, 

wa laa hawla wa laa quwwata illaa billaah

(In the Name of Allah, I have placed my trust in Allah, there is no might and no power except by Allah),'

it will be said to him: 'You are guided, defended and protected.' The devil will go far away from him"

Most superior way of asking forgiveness from Allah

Narrated Shaddad bin Aus (Radhi-Allahu 'anhu):

The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said:

"The most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allah is:

Allaahumma 'Anta Rabbee laa 'ilaaha 'illaa 'Anta, khalaqtanee wa 'anaa 'abduka, wa 'anaa 'alaa 'ahdika wa wa'dika mas-tata'tu, 'a'oothu bika min sharri maa sana'tu, 'aboo'u laka bini'matika 'alayya, wa 'aboo'u bithanbee faghfir lee fa'innahu laa yaghfiruth-thunooba 'illaa 'Anta.

[ O Allah, You are my Lord, there is none worthy of worship but You. You created me and I am your slave. I keep Your covenant, and my pledge to You so far as I am able. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I admit to Your blessings upon me, and I admit to my misdeeds. Forgive me, for there is none who may forgive sins but You.]

The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) added: "If somebody recites it during the day with firm faith in it, and dies on the same day before the evening, he will be from the people of Paradise; and if somebody recites it at night with firm faith in it, and dies before the morning, he will be from the people of Paradise."

"O Mu'adh! By Allah I love you, so I advise you to never forget to recite after every prayer:

Allahumma a'inni alaa dhikrika, wa shukrika, wa husni 'ibaadatika

(O Allah, help me remember You, to be grateful to You, and to worship You in an excellent manner)."

[Abu Dawud]

The time your supplication find the greatest response

Abu Umamah (Radhiallaho anha) reported: The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) was asked: "At what time does the supplication find the greatest response? ''He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) replied, "A supplication made during the middle of the last part of the night and after the conclusion of the obligatory prayers.''

[At-Tirmidhi].


Commentary:
"Al-'Akhir'' is the characteristic of "Jauf'' and in the present context it means the late hours of night. "Jauf'' can also mean here "middle'', that is in the later-half of the night.

In other words, if the night is divided between two equal parts then it (Jauf) would be the middle of the second part. In either case it is the time of the night which in other Ahadith has been termed as the third part of the night.

It is the time when Almighty Allah comes to descend on the sky of this world.

Prayers are also granted by Allah after the obligatory Salat.

Do not invoke curses on yourself and regret it all your life

Jabir (Radhiallaho anha) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said,

"Do not invoke curses on yourself or on your children or on your possessions lest you should happen to do it at a moment when the supplications are accepted, and your prayer might be granted.''

[Muslim]


Commentary:
Almighty Allah always listens to everyone's prayer but He has fixed certain times when He grants more prayers addressed to Him. Therefore, one should never curse oneself or one's own children or one's own business, etc., lest this is done at the time when prayers are accepted by Allah and then one has to regret it all his life.

"A slave becomes nearest to his Rubb when he is in prostration. So increase supplications in prostrations.''

[Muslim]


Commentary:
This Hadith points out the exellence of supplicating while prostrating in Salat, as one gets closer to Allah in this position.

A good Supplication (Dua) to heal sickness

Ibn `Abbas (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:

The Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "He who visits a sick person who is not on the point of death and supplicates seven times:

As'alullahal-`Azima Rabbal-`Arshil-`Azimi, an yashfiyaka

(I beseech Allah the Great, the Rubb of the Great Throne, to heal you),

Allah will certainly heal him from that sickness.''


[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi]


Commentary:

There is always a great certainty that Allah will respond to a supplication which springs from a sincere, veracious heart. One should, therefore, pray for a patient with full conviction and reassurance of heart. Moreover, the Prophet's prayers have special effect and grace and therefore their original wordings should be uttered.

A Supplication of the Prophet (pbuh)

Tariq bin Ashyam (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Whenever a man entered the fold of Islam, the Prophet (PBUH) would show him how to perform Salat and then direct him to supplicate: "Allahumm-aghfir li, warhamni, wa-hdini, wa `afini, warzuqni (O Allah! Forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me, guard me against harm and provide me with sustenance and salvation).'''

[Muslim]

In another narration Tariq said: A man came to the Prophet (PBUH) and said to him: "O Messenger of Allah! What shall I say if I want to pray to my Rubb?'' He (PBUH) said, "Say: `Allahumma-ghfir li, warhamni, wa `afini, warzuqni (O Allah! Forgive me, have mercy on me, protect me and provide me with sustenance).' Surely, this supplication is better for you in this life and in the Hereafter.''

Seek refuge in Allah from evil which I have done and not done

`Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:

The Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) used to supplicate (in these words):

"Allahumma inni audhu bika min sharri ma `amiltu, wa min sharri ma lam a`mal
(O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the evil of that which I have done and the evil of that which I have not done)."

[Muslim]

Commentary:
This prayer is also very comprehensive. Sometimes a person does a virtuous deed but it is tainted with slight hypocrisy or pride. It is an element which destroys even the most virtuous deeds. It is this mischief against which Allah's Protection has been sought through this prayer.

A Comprehensive Supplication (Dua) of Muhammad (PBUH)

`Abdullah bin Mas`ud (RadhiAllahu 'anhu) reported:

The Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) used to supplicate:

"Allahumma inni as'alukal-huda, wat-tuqa, wal-`afafa, wal-ghina
(O Allah! I beseech You for guidance, piety, chastity and contentment).''

[Muslim]


Commentary:
"Guidance'' means guidance towards virtue which one needs at every step. The ability to do good and steadfastness on the Right Path is also covered by the term guidance. To comply with the Orders of Allah and to prevent oneself from what He has forbidden is "Taqwa" (fear of Allah), the importance of which needs no elaboration. `Affaf is prevention from sins. It also means evasion from seeking help from others. Ghina means riches which makes one independent of others so much so that all one's hopes are centered on Allah Alone. The prayer quoted in this Hadith is very comprehensive indeed.

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Liked Comprehensive Supplications

`Aishah (RadiAllahu 'anha) reported:

Recite frequently:`Ya Dhal-Jalali wal-Ikram!

Anas (RadhiAllahu 'anhu) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said,

"Recite frequently: `Ya Dhal-Jalali wal-Ikram! (O You, Possessor of glory and honour).'''

[At-Tirmidhi]

Commentary:
This Hadith tells us that one should make abundant use of the words `Ya-Dhal-Jalali wal-Ikram' in his prayer because these words contain the Praise of Allah and mention His Perfect Attributes. Some have said that Al-Jalal and Al-Ikram are Allah's Greatest Name.
