Du’aa for the Oppressed

tacoeur:

رَبَّنا لا تَجعَلنا فِتنَةً لِلَّذينَ كَفَروا وَاغفِر لَنا رَبَّنا ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ العَزيزُ الحَكيمُ

Rabbanā lā taj’alnā fitnatan lillatheena kafarū waghfirlanā rabbanā innaka antal azīzul hakīm.

“Our Lord! Do not make us persecuted by those who disbelieve and forgive us, our Lord. Surely You, only You, are the Mighty, the Wise.”

[Surah al-Mumtahinah, Ayah 5]

I’ve been going crazy trying to find this! Yay!

saifullah786:

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said:

“Allah (mighty and sublime be He) says:

‘The first of his actions for which a servant of Allah will be held accountable on the Day of Resurrection will be his prayers.’ If they are in order, then he will have prospered and succeeded; and if they are wanting, then he will have failed and lost. If there is something defective in his obligatory prayers, the Lord (glorified and exalted be He) will say: ‘See if My servant has any supererogatory prayers with which may be completed that which was defective in his obligatory prayers.’ Then the rest of his actions will be judged in like fashion.”

[At-Tirmidhi (also by Abu Dawud, an-Nasa’i, Ibn Majah and Ahmad).]

Ok, so a while ago, someone told me about this hadith, but they never quoted it or told me where it came from. They just said, “yeah, if you miss your fardh prayers, then on the Day of Judgment, Allah will look at your sunnah, nafl, etc. prayers and then judge your actions. 

FINALLY. I found it! Alhamdulillah!

Usually, I open up Bukhari or any other hadith collection book and just flip to a random hadith (or click on a random hadith - if I’m using the online version) and then read the hadith. Ahh I was going through 40 Hadith Qudsi and I clicked on 9 and BAM, I found this hadith.

Alhamdulillah!

Proper Sequence of Dhikr after Salaah

“O Allah, You are Al-Salam [the One Who is free from all defects and deficiencies] and from You is all peace, blessed are You, Possessor of majesty and honor!”

Allahumma La Mani’a Lima A’tait Wa-La Mu’ty Lima Man’t, Wa-La Yanfa’u Dhal-Gaddu Minkal-Gadd”

“None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone, without any partner. To Allah belong all sovereignty and praise. He is Omnipotent over all things. There is no might nor power except with Allah. None has the right to be worshipped except Him. We worship none but Him. To Allah all favor, grace, and praise are due. None has the right to be worshipped except Allah and we are sincere in faith and devotion to Him although disbelievers detest it. Oh Allah! Oh Allah! None can prevent what You willed to give and none can grant what You have willed to prevent, and no wealth or majesty can benefit anyone, as from You is all wealth and majesty”

******After offering Maghrib (Sunset) Prayer and Fajr (Dawn) Prayer one should say along with what is mentioned previously (#3):

“La Ilah Illa Allah Wahdahu La Sharika Lahu Lahu Al-Mulk Wa Lahu Al-Hamd Yuhyi Wa Yumit Wa Huwa ‘Ala Kulli Shay’in Qadir”

“There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah Alone, He have no associate. His is the Dominion to Him is due all praise; He gives life and causes death and He has power over all things”

4.

(a)Subhana Allah(Glory is to Allah) 33x

(b)Al-Hamdu Lillah(praise is due to Allah)33x

(c)Allahu Akbar(Allah is the Great)33x

5.complete the hundred by saying:

“La Ilah Illa Allah, Wahdahu La Sharika Lah, Lahu Al-Mulk Wa Lahu Al-Hamd, Yuhyi Wa Yumit, Wa Huwa ‘Ala Kull Shay’in Qadir”

There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah Alone, He have no associate. His is the Dominion to Him is due all praise; He gives life and causes death and He has power over all things)

6.Ayat-ul-Kursy (the Qur’anic Verse of Allah’s Foot stool, Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:255)

after each obligatory Salah and repeat them three times after the Maghrib (Sunset) and Fajr (Dawn) Salahs.

Abu Hurairah (ra) said: The Messenger of Allaah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: “The five prayers and and one Jumu’ah to the next are an expiation for what is between them, as long as no major sins are committed.”

 Reported by Muslim and others

Abu Hurairah (ra) said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)say: “Do you not consider that if there were a river outside the door of one of you in which he bathed five times a day, there would remain any dirt upon him?” They said: There would not remain any dirt upon him. He said: “That is the example of the five prayers. Allaah removes the sins by them.”

Excellence of the Twelve Units of Voluntary Prayers

Umm Habibah (May Allah be pleased with her) the Mother of the Believers reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) saying,

“A house will be built in Jannah for every Muslim who offers twelve Rak`ah of optional Salat other than the obligatory Salat in a day and a night (to seek the Pleasure of Allah).”
