Make a Dua request (Experience the Power of Dua)

In The Name Of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful. May complete Peace, Blessings and Mercy of Allah be upon the Last Prophet of Islam, Prophet Muhammad (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallam) forever forever. Many of us underestimate the power and tremendous virtues associated with Dua, the purpose of this short article is to reignite within each one of us the virtues and benefits of Dua. Dua in fact has been the sunnah of all Prophets (May peace and mercy of Allah SWT be upon them all) and all saints of Allah, this itself is sufficient to highlight the Power and blessings contained in a Dua. We should not underestimate the power of Dua as there is nothing more dear to Allah than turning to him sincerely in Dua as mentioned by our Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) that: “There is nothing dearer to Allah than Dua” (Tirmizi, Narrated by Abu Hurayrah), furthermore  Ḥākim RA reports in a sound transmission, “Supplication is the weapon of the believer, the pillar of religion, and a light of the Heavens and the earth.”

Virtues of making Dua
1. Prophet (SA) said: “Supplication/dua is worship.” Then he (SA) recited the verse: “And your Lord says, ‘Call upon Me; I will respond to you.’ Indeed, those who disdain My worship will enter Hell contemptible.” (40:60)” [Jami’ At-Tirmidhi, Book 44, Number 3247, Narrated by An-Nu’man ibn Bashir (RA)]
2. Prophet (SA) said: “Nothing can avert the decree of Allah except supplication/dua, and nothing increases life except virtuous deeds.” (Tirmidhi, Narrated by Salman Al-Farisi)
3. Prophet (SA) said, “Any Muslim who makes a supplication/dua containing nothing which is sinful or which involves breaking ties of relationship will be given for it by Allah one of three things: He will give him swift answer, or store it up for him in the next world, or turn away from him an equivalent amount of evil.” (Tirmidhi, Narrated by AbuSa’id al-Khudri)
4. The Prophet (SA) said, “Precautions are of no avail against the decree of Allah, but the supplication benefits in the case of a calamity that strikes or is about to strike. And when a calamity descends the supplication intercepts it and holds it at bay until the Day of Resurrection.” (Al-Bazar, At-Tabrani, and Al-Hakim, Narrated by Aishah RA)

Virtues of making dua for others
1.Prophet (SA) said: “The swiftest supplication to be answered is the supplication of someone for another person who is not present.”[Imam Bukhari’s Al-Adab al-Mufrad]
2.Prophet (SA) said: “The supplication of a Muslim man for his absent brother is answered. At his head there is a guardian angel. Whenever he asks Allah to give his brother good, the angel says, ‘Amen, and may you have the same.” [Imam Bukhari’s Al-Adab al-Mufrad]
3.The Prophet (SA) said: “The dua of a Muslim for his brother (in Islam) in his absence is readily accepted. An angel is appointed to his side. Whenever he makes a beneficial dua for his brother the appointed angel says, ‘Aameen. And may you also be blessed with the same.'” [Sahih Muslim]
4.The Prophet[SA] said: “Whosoever seeks forgiveness for believing men and believing women, Allah will write for him a good deed for each believing man and believing woman.” [Tabrani]
