“Am-mai yojibul muz-tar-rezaaa d’aaho wa yakashe Fus-sua.”

Instead that God is better who answers helpless people whenever they
call him, And he relieves them from their trouble.
Sura 27 ayaat 62

Solving our Problems by Supplication

“Dua” means “to call” and “to invoke” and in the Islamic terminology, it means, “A humble
prayer by a modest person to a superior.”

Thinking of Allah‟s might and grandeur, feeling awe of Him and praying
humbly and secretly is essential for supplication.

Allah informs us in the Quran;

“Remember Me- I will remember you. give thanks to Me and do not be

ungrateful. You who have faith! Seek help in steadfastness and prayer. Allah
is with the steadfast.
(Sura al Baqara: 152- 153).

“And when My servants ask you concerning Me, then surely I am very near;
I answer the prayer of the supplicant when he calls on Me, so they should
answer My call and believe in Me that they may walk in the right way”
(Sura Al-Baqara, verse 186)

Supplication has been highlighted as an important aspect of Islamic worship,

indeed, the Holy Prophet describes supplication in a hadith as “the core of
worship”

The Importance of Supplication as Reported

by Our Aimmah (A.S )
The Holy Prophet of Islam has said:
” Shall I introduce to you a weapon which will protect you both from the evils of enemies and
increase your sustenance”.
They said:
“Yes O Messenger of Allah.
He said:
“Call your Lord day and night, for “Dua” is the weapon of the believer.”

Imam Ali (A.S) says:

“Dua is the shield of a believer. If you keep on knocking the door of Divine Mercy, it will be
opened to to you.”

Imam Sadiq (A.S) has said:

“Dua is more forceful than a sword.”

Imam Musa Kazim (A.S) has said:

“Dua reverts both what has been destined and what has not been destined”.

Imam Zainul Abedin (A.S.) said:

“Dua and afflictions challenge each other until the Day of Judgement, yet
Dua comes out victoriously even if the afflictions are certain to happen”

When you address your supplication to Allah, you implicitly acknowledge His
ability to grant you a request and fulfil your desire. You also recognise that
He is your Lord and the Lord of everything on earth. When a human being
acknowledges that, Allah grants him his request.

Dua is the Essence of Worship

By supplicating to Allah, we are communicating directly with Him. We should
always make dua whenever it is possible for us since Allah is the only One
who can help us through His knowledge and power.

Whenever we need assistance or help, we should always turn towards our

Masooms to ask help.

A Muslim should not think that it is unnecessary for him to make dua since
Allah is aware of his thoughts and will grant his wishes if He wills. He should
always supplicate for assistance and should beg for His forgiveness.

“Sometimes you find the requests are not immediately granted. Do not be
disappointed. Fulfilment of desires rests upon the true intention of the
prayer. More often the fulfilment is delayed because your Lord wants to
bestow upon you suitable rewards. As we may never know we may ask
things which are harmful to us, so better to keep patient and believe in His
help.” { Holy Prophet P.)

Finally, we should not only supplicate to Allah to grant us success in the

hereafter and to provide good health for us but we should also supplicate to
Allah for the well being of our parents, grandparents, relatives and for the
entire Muslim Ummah.

We should be concerned about our fellow Muslim Brothers and sisters and
we should help them or pray for them during times of need and distress.

Definition of Dua (Supplication) and its exhortation:

Dua in Arabic means “To call”, and “To invoke” and in the Islamic
terminology, it means a humble prayer by a modest person to a superior.
Since the purpose of the present book is to exhort dear readers to Dua
(supplication) and to become familiar with the creator and His Blessings, we
have to mention certain Hadiths. Sheikh Sadoogh has quoted the pure Imam
(A.S.) as saying:

1. “If someone hears that doing a certain deed is praiseworthy and he does
it, God will give him the same reward even if it is not so.”
Safwan too has quoted Imam Sadeq (A.S.) as saying:

2. “If someone hears that a certain deed is praiseworthy, and he does it, the
Providence will give him the same reward even if the Holy Prophet of Islam
(SAW) has not confirmed it”.
Sheikh Koleini has quoted Imam Sadeq (A.S.) as saying:
3. “If someone hears that doing a deed is praiseworthy and he does it, he
will have the reward even if that news is not authentic.”
Quoting Jaber Ibne Abdullah Ansari, the Sunnis too have quoted the Holy
Prophet of Islam (SAW) as saying:

4. If a person is told that a certain deed is praiseworthy with god Almighty

and he does it to receive the reward, God will give him the same reward,
even if it is not authentic.

1. To overcome fear of Authority/ruler

�Wa Ufawwizu Amree ilallaah inallaaha baseerun bil ibad� (Ch. Al-
Ghafir, or Mu�min (40), vs. 44)

So you shall remember what I say to you, and I entrust my affair to

Allah, Surely Allah sees the servants.

2. For Rizq (sustenance)

�Mashaallahu laa Quwwata illa billah” (Ch. Al-Kahf (18), vs. 39)

And wherefore did you not say when you entered your garden: It is as Allah has pleased, there is
no power save in Allah? If you consider me to be inferior to you in wealth and children

3. For Sorrows/sufferings

La ila ha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu minazzalimeen(Ch. Al-Anbiya (21): vs. 87)
And Yunus, when he went away in wrath, so he thought that We would not straiten him, so he
called out among afflictions: There is no god but Thou, glory be to Thee; surely I am of those
who make themselves to suffer loss.4. Other issues/Needs

Hasbunallah wa ni’mal wakeel(Ch. Aale I�mraan (3), vs. 173)

Those to whom the people said: Surely men have gathered against you, therefore fear them, but
this increased their faith, and they said: Allah is sufficient for us and most excellent is the
Protector.There are some preconditions for it to be accepted ,like a person is to be
married before he can pray & wish for a child.:-
a. Taqwa -Fear of Allah swt
b. Efforts & Perseverance.Efforts like that of Sarah between safa &
Marwah & Patience in not giving up &continuing upto 7 rounds
c. Conviction that it can work & not an attitude of what can one line
do

This will inshallah result in awards beyond imagination ,like zam

zam though what was asked was only a cupful!

protection from the heat of burning flames. O fever, if you accept Allah‟s
(authority), do not devour my flesh, nor drink my blood, nor be fierce in my

dukum wa minhaa nukhrijukum taaratan ukhraa. Allaahu akbaru wa anta laa
takburu Allaahu yaqbee wa anta laa taqbee wallaahu A‟laa kulli shay-in
qadeer.”

(The likeness of an evil word is like an evil tree- it is uprooted from the
earth‟s surface, it has no stability. We created you (from the earth) and into
it We will return you, and We will bring you forth from it a second time. Allah
is great, you are not. Allah lasts for ever, you will not. Verily Allah ha s
power over all things.)
 Scorpion Bites

Kafirun, al Falaq and an Nas.

Memory

tusalliya alaa Muh‟ammadin wa aali Muh‟ammadin wa tud‟akkiranee maa
ansaaneehish shayt‟aan.”

(I beseech You, O He who remolds about doing good, does good and
commands to do good, send blessings on Muhammad and on the children of
Muhammad, and let me remember what Shaytan has wiped out from my
memory.)

To retain in memory whatever one listens or reads, recite the following dua
after every wajib salaat

“Subh‟aana man laa ya‟tadee a‟laa ahli mamlakatihee subh‟aana man laa
yaakhud‟u ahlal arz‟i bialwaanil adhaabi subhaanar ra-oofir Rah‟eemi
Allahummaj a‟llee fee qalbee nooran wa bas‟aran wa fahman wa i‟lman
innaka a‟laa kulli shay-in qadeer”

(Glory be to He who does not treat unjustly those who are his subjects;
Glory be to He who does not chastise the people of the earth with
punishment; Glory be to He who is kind and compassionate. O Allah let
there be light, insight, wisdom and knowledge in my mind, Verily You are
powerful over all things.)

For increase in sustenance recite Yaa Ghaniyya 1060 times between Maghrib
and Ishaa prayers.

To have enough sustenance, recite as many times as possible, Al Muqeetu.

For the increase in your daily bread, recite this dua everyday after morning
prayers 10 times:

“Bismillahir Rahmaanir Rahim Subhanalahi azimi wabi hamdehi

astaghferullah waasaluhu minfazlehi.”

means to have our sins pardoned.

Dua-e-Mashlool “or” Dua-e-Mujeer washes away our sins immediately

To have freedom from wants so as not to be forced to go to others for help,

recite 90 times daily, “Al Maliku” (The Sovereign).

For Children

To have a pious and God-fearing child, recite this dua as many times. Also,
the recitation of this dua 3 times after every waajib namaaz will make your
children pious and obedient.

“Rabbi hab lee mil ladun‟ka d‟urriyatan‟ t‟ayyibah; innaka samee-u‟d du-
a‟aaa” [Ale Imran:38]
Recite this verse if you want to have a son, because this dua was recited by
Prophet Zakariyaa to beseech Allah to give him a son:

“Fahab lee mil ladun‟ka waliyyaa” [Maryam:5]

If the parent recites “Ar-Rabbo” many times the children will remain safe
from calamities.

If one recited 202 times “Al-Barro” his/her children will be successful and
lucky in their lawful dealings.

When a child shoes signs of disobedience one should recite “sura al Ahzab”
and pray for the cure of it.
