Du'a is service to Allah. Prayer to Allah with gratitude Dua of praise of Allah

Dua is considered one of the forms of worship to Allah Almighty. A person who makes a request to the Creator confirms his belief that only Allah Almighty can give a person everything he needs, that He is the only one who should be relied upon and who should be addressed with prayers.

Allah likes those who often turn to Him with different (permitted according to Sharia, halal) requests.

Dua is a weapon of a Muslim, which was granted to him by Allah.

Once the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) asked: “Do you want me to teach you such a tool that will help you overcome the misfortunes and troubles that have overcome you?” “We want,” the companions answered. The Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) replied: “If you read the dua “La illaha illa anta subhanakya inni kuntu minaz-zalimin”, and if you read the dua for a fellow believer who is absent at that moment, then the dua will be accepted by Allah.” Next to the one who reads the dua are angels and repeat: “Amen. May it be the same for you."

Dua is worship for which Allah is rewarded and there is a certain order for making dua:

2. The dua should begin with the words of praise of Almighty Allah: “Alhamdulillahi Rabbil alamin”, then you need to read salawat to the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam): “Allahumma sally ala Muhammadin wa ala ali Muhammadin wa sallim”, then you need to repent of sins: “ Astagfirullah."

3. If the dua contains important requests, then before it begins, you need to perform ablution, and if it is very important, then you need to completely bathe (take a ghusl)

4. When reading the dua, it is advisable to turn towards the qibla.

5. Hands should be held in front of the face with palms up. After completing the dua, you need to run your hands over your face so that the barakah with which your palms are filled will touch your face. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Verily, your Lord, the Living, the Generous, cannot refuse His servant if he raises his hands in prayer.”

6. It is advisable to repeat your request at least three times.

The request must be made in a respectful tone, quietly so that others do not hear, while you can not look to heaven.

At the end of the dua, it is necessary, as at the beginning, to pronounce the words of praise of Allah and salawat to the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) then say:

سُبْحَانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ .

وَسَلَامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ .وَالْحَمْدُ لِلهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

"Subhana Rabbikya Rabbil 'izatti 'amma yasifun.

Wa salamun ‘alal mursaleen.

Wal-Hamdulillahi Rabbil ‘alamin.”

It is reported that Fadala bin Ubayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “Once the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) heard how one person during his prayer began to address prayers to Allah, without glorifying Allah before that and without turning to Him with prayers for the Prophet, (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and he said: “This man hastened!”, After which he called him to him and said:

“When one of you (wants) turns to Allah with a prayer, let him begin by giving praise to his Most Glorious Lord and glorifying Him, then let him invoke blessings on the Prophet,” (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), - and already then he asks for whatever he wants.

The post of one Muslim on Facebook remained in my memory for a long time. “I,” he writes, “work in the same office as an atheist. One day we had free time, and we, having turned a trash can into a basketball basket, started throwing paper “balls” into it. Both try their best, but success does not smile at anyone.

Then an atheist colleague, wanting to ridicule me, said: "Try making dua - maybe it will help." I defiantly uttered the words of a request for help to the Almighty and, being confident in my success and trusting in the Creator, threw the “ball” towards the basket. The "ball" this time without much difficulty and without a miss hit right on target. The colleague, trying to hide his embarrassment and displeasure, continued his throws, but without success. He tried to calculate the trajectory of the ball (he is a talented mathematician), made every effort and ingenuity, but still the goal turned out to be unattainable for him.

In such cases, the reaction of the unbeliever to events is of the same type: the success of the one making the dua is an accidental luck, while the connection with the Almighty, the secret power of contact with Him, is completely denied. Only believers are convinced that requests for help to Allah, especially at critical moments in life, are not left unanswered. For a person who prays, a 180-degree turn of events is quite expected; lightning-fast changes in the trajectory of life at a sincere request are not uncommon. And there are no coincidences. Begging for good for oneself, good in both lives is a daily custom for sincere Muslims, this is worship.

However, like any other connection with the Gracious, prayer requires certain knowledge and effort. The dua of the ignorant may harm him so much that he becomes nervous. Depression can be caused by a long absence of an answer, or, conversely, by the fact that instead of the expected relief, the slave gets an instant aggravation of the situation: things start to go so badly that the ignoramus falls into despair. At one time, I had to read a letter from a young Muslim, in whose life a series of difficult events began to occur. Repeated prayers for help to the One who opens the gates of good and good only worsened his situation: with each new dua, his life became more and more unbearable. The young man, not wiser with experience or knowledge, could not understand that the events of his life are the good answer of the All-Seeing and All-Hearing Lord.

Even many smart non-Muslims know well: the blows of fate are not a reason for depression, they are a powerful impetus to action, and they call them magic motivating kick. Oscar Wilde, the famous English thinker and writer, says this about it: “I would wholeheartedly advise you not to bend under the burden of grief. What appears to us as severe trials is sometimes actually a blessing in disguise.” For lazy, careless souls, the motivating answer of All-good Allah in the form of a test is necessary like air, like a sip of water in a waterless desert. Tests usually begin to haunt us when we ask for a blessing, but we ourselves do nothing to achieve the goal. The slave asks Allah for the highest levels of Paradise, but does not increase good deeds, and Al-Mujib (Accepting prayers and requests) accepts his prayer and sends trials, elevating him and exalting him through them, and at the same time rewards the slave with patience. To the non-acting one who asks for worldly goods, the answer may be the same: motivating difficulties do not keep us waiting long.

If we do not want difficulties and trials, it is better to leave the comfort zone of our own free will and start acting. The algorithm of our actions must comply with the Sunnah of our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Strive for this and achieve what will benefit you, ask Allah for help and act.” Moreover, while acting, we should not for a moment reduce the degree of purposefulness and perseverance, if we really sincerely want to acquire something useful, pleasing to God. Consider the words of the great inventor Thomas Edison: "I'm not so easily discouraged, because every unsuccessful attempt is for me one more step forward." Complaining about failures, whining can not only close the doors of good, an ungrateful appellant can lose what he already has.

Inexhaustible faith in the answer of the Almighty is one of the main conditions for accepting a prayer. Doubts and fears are groundless and are an indicator of the insincerity and weakness of the faith of the one who prays. The incredulous slave's plea is denied. The Possessor of unlimited Grace and Knowledge, by his Wisdom, can reward us with an instant response, can leave a response for years, or even honor a slave with an award in the Eternal Peace. The reward for dua of worldly things in the Eternal World becomes a source of endless rejoicing, this is the best that we can get for sincere requests.

Nevertheless, the human soul is arranged in such a way that we want a quick answer to a prayer. Failure to receive an answer to a request frightens us, because it can be a sign of the wrath of the Almighty. Tornadoes of disasters and hurricanes of misfortune, indeed, can be not just a test, but a punishment from the Creator. A string of failures - in most cases this is the result of our disobedience to Allah. We know that "misfortunes come only with sins", and we remember the words of the Almighty (meaning): “…everything bad that befalls you comes from yourself…” (Quran, 4:79). A rejected prayer is a great misfortune, and we should make every effort to accept the dua. Daily introspection and self-report, repentance for sins and repeated istighfar (a request for forgiveness), rejection of the reprehensible, from the unlawful, from haram food and clothing should become a habit of a Muslim. We are obliged not only to renounce what is blamed ourselves, but also to call others to the good and warn against the condemned, never forget the frightening words of the great Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “I swear by Allah, you must definitely encourage what is good and keep from what is blamed, otherwise Allah will not be slow to punish you, after which you will ask Him, but He will not answer you" (Ahmad).

How blind and deaf we are in our society of general debauchery and complacency! This deliberate blindness can cost us great trials, distance from the mercy of Allah. Cleansing with sincere repentance and asking for forgiveness, correcting mistakes made is the only way out in such a situation. We remember the encouraging words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “If a person does not stop asking for forgiveness (istigfar) with his tongue, Allah Almighty will show him a way out of any difficult situation, grant deliverance from every sorrow and grant food in a way that he did not expect.”Let us remember the prayer of the Prophet Yunus (peace be upon him): “La ilaha illa Anta, Subhanakya inni kuntu min azzalimin.” Sincere praise of the Almighty and accusing oneself of disobedience, and accusation with tears in the eyes and bitterness in the heart, with deep regret - this is the way to accept the dua. Praise of the Creator occupies a special place in prayer, while in the soul there should not be even a shadow of dissatisfaction with one's position, for ungrateful hearts do not deserve an answer. How often do we forget this! Complaining about the obstacles of fate, the slave alienates himself from the Lord, he himself puts a barrier in the way of prayer, and despair does not take long to wait. Nothing but stress and depression, such prayers can not give. Allah Himself warns the slaves about this (meaning): “If he had not been one of the glorifiers, he would certainly have remained in her womb until the day they were resurrected” (37: 143-144).

One more of the most important aspects for obtaining an answer, which we should never forget, the Almighty points out to us in the Qur'an (meaning): "... Call on Him with fear and hope. Verily, the mercy of Allah is close to those who do good” (7:56). Doing good in the name of the Lord is the best way to quickly respond to the requests of a slave. In a conversation with Caliph Suleiman ibn ‘Abd al-Malik, the judge of Medina Salama ibn Dinar, to the question “And which prayer is answered most quickly?” answered thus: “To the prayer of the doer of good, with which he turns to Allah for the doers of good.”

There is a category of people whose requests are certainly satisfied. These are close associates of Allah.P Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allah said: “I have already declared war on the one who is at enmity with My close ones! Of all the deeds by which My servant draws near to Me, I love most of all that which I have made obligatory upon him. And through additional precepts, My servant continues to draw near to Me until I love him. If I love him, then I will become the hearing with which he hears, and the sight with which he sees, and the hand with which he grasps, and the foot with which he steps. If he asks Me for anything, I will certainly grant it to him; if he seeks refuge with Me, I will certainly give it to him, and nothing that I do makes Me hesitate to such an extent as the need to take the soul of a believer who does not want death, for I do not want harm done to him. ”

The path to the love of the Most High is open and clear. However, there are not many who walk this road.

The expression of gratitude to the Almighty, for the benefits rendered by Him for us, is an integral part of our religion. For the Almighty commanded even the most beloved of all his prophets Muhammad (peace and blessings of the Almighty be upon them all) to be grateful for what Allah has favored him and express it (gratitude).

(meaning): " Tell people about the blessings that your Lord has given you (Sura Az-Zuha, verse 11).

وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ

Thus, each of us is obliged to be grateful to Allah for his gifts - for those that we know and do not know.

Imam Ahmad (may Allah be pleased with him) in the book "az-Zuhd", quotes from the words of Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said that the prophet Dawood (peace be upon him) said: " My Lord, if each of my hair had a pair of tongues that would glorify You day and night, all my life, I would not be able to give thanks to You even for one favor You have done me".

روى الإمام أحمد في الزهد عن الحسن قال : قال داود " إلهي لو أن لكل شعرة مني لسانين يسبحانك الليل والنهار والدهر كله ما قضيت حق نعمة واحدة " .

In the same book, the words of al-Mughir bin Utbat are also quoted: " When the Almighty sent down a command to the prophet Davud, saying: "Express gratitude, family of Davud. How few among My servants are grateful to Me," he turned to the Almighty: "My Lord, how can I give You praise when it is You who give me blessings, and then you will bless me with thanksgiving to you for the blessings you have rendered. Then the Almighty answered him: "Now you know Me, Davud"

وروي فيه أيضا عن المغيرة بن عتبة قال : " لما أنزل الله على داود "اعْمَلُوا آلَ دَاوُودَ شُكْرًا وَقَلِيلٌ مِنْ عِبَادِيَ الشَّكُورُ" قال يا رب كيف أطيق شكرك وأنت الذي تنعم علي ثم ترزقني على النعمة الشكر ثم تزيدني نعمة بعد نعمة ، فالنعمة منك يا رب ، فكيف أطيق شكرك ؟ قال الآن عرفتني يا داود "

The hadeeth of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) states: Allah loves to be praised »

ان الله عز وجل يحب أن يحمد

In another saying, cited by ad-Dailami, it is said: “ Allah loves praise » . Imam Ahmad also cites this hadith in his collection Musnadu-Ahmad.

ان الله يحب الحمد

In the book Al-Badr al-Munir, there is a saying that says: Giving praise to Allah in gratitude for His good is a guarantee that He will not deprive this good.».

حمد الله امان للنعمة من زوالها

In another hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), quoted by Abu Dawood (may Allah be pleased with him) says:

« The one who, having put on clothes, says “praise be to Allah, Who gave me this clothes without my diligence and diligence”, all previous sins will be forgiven ».

من لبس ثوبا فقال الحمد لله الذي كساني هذا الثوب من غير حول مني ولا قوة غفر له ما تقدم

The best phrase to express gratitude to Allah is:

الحمدلله حمداً يوافي نعمه ويكافيء مزيده

(meaning) " Praise be to Allah in such a quantity and quality that would be sufficient in gratitude for all His blessings with which He has endowed me and for those blessings with which He will endow in the future».

The argument in favor of the fact that this formulation of gratitude is the best is some sayings that say: “When Allah Almighty sent down Adam (peace be upon him) to Earth, he turned to Allah with the words: “O my Lord, teach me different crafts and teach me words that would contain the meaning of all praises to You. Then Allah sent down to Adam (peace be upon him) a revelation: “Say every morning and evening three times “Praise be to Allah in such quantity and quality that would be sufficient in gratitude for all His blessings with which He has endowed me and for those blessings that He will endow in the future. Verily, I have united in this phrase the meaning of all kinds of praise.”

Some theologians say that the best kind of praise is the words:

الحمد لله بجميع محامده كلها ما علمت منها وما لم أعلم عدد خلقه كلهم ما علمت منهم وما لم اعلم

(meaning) " Praise be to Allah with all kinds of praise, those that I know and do not know, in an amount equal to all His creatures, which I know and do not know» .

And as proof of the greatness of this phrase, a story is cited, which tells that a certain Muslim uttered this phrase during the Hajj, while in the Arafah valley. The next year, that Muslim again went on a pilgrimage to Mecca and again, being on Arafah, he wanted to utter the same phrase of praise. At that moment, he heard the voice of an angel who said: “O servant of Allah, verily you have tired your angels recording deeds (al-hafaza), because they are still recording rewards for your praise with these words last year.”

Based on the above arguments, the theologians decided that if a person swears that he will give Allah the best praise, he will not be able to keep his oath except by saying one of the above two phrases.

Du'a is one of the forms of worshiping Allah Almighty. When a person makes a request to the Creator, by this action he confirms his belief that only Allah Almighty can give a person everything he needs; that He is the only one to rely on and to whom one should turn with prayers. Allah loves those who, as often as possible, turn to Him with various (permitted according to Sharia) requests.

Du'a is the weapon of a Muslim, granted to him by Allah. One day the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) asked: “Do you want me to teach you such a tool that will help you overcome the misfortunes and troubles that have befallen you?”. “We want,” the companions replied. Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) replied: “If you read the du’a“ La illaha illa anta subhanakya inni kuntu minaz-zalimin 247 ", and if you read a du'a for a brother in faith, who is absent at that moment, then the du'a will be accepted by the Almighty." Angels stand next to the reader and say: “Amen. May the same be with you.”

Du'a is an ibadat rewarded by Allah and there is a certain order for its fulfillment:

Du'a should begin with the words of praise of Allah: "Alhamdulillahi Rabbil'alamin", then you need to read salawat to the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam): "Allahumma sally 'ala ali Muhammadin wa sallam", then it is necessary to repent of sins: "Astaghfirullah".

It is reported that Fadala bin Ubayd (radiallahu anhu) said: “(Once) the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) heard how one person during his prayer began to address prayers to Allah, without praising (before that) Allah and not turning to Him with prayers for the Prophet, (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ), and the Messenger of Allah, (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), said: “This (man) hastened!”, After which he called him to himself and said to him / or: ... to someone else /:

“When one of you (wants) turns to Allah with a prayer, let him begin by giving praise to his Most Glorious Lord and glorify Him, then let him invoke blessings on the Prophet,” (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), “and then he asks for whatever he wants.

Caliph Umar (may the mercy of Allah overshadow him) said: “Our prayers reach the heavenly spheres called “Sama” and “Arsha” and remain there until we say salawat to Muhammad(sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) , and only after that they reach the Divine Throne.

2. If the du’a contains important requests, then before it begins, you need to perform ablution, and if it is very important, you must perform ablution of the whole body.

3. When reading du'a, it is advisable to turn your face towards Qibla.

4. Hands should be held in front of the face with palms up. After completing the du’a, you need to run your hands over your face so that the barakah, with which the outstretched hands are filled, touches your face. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “ Indeed, your Lord, Living, Generous, cannot refuse His servant if he raises his hands in supplication.

Anas (radiallahu anhu) reports that during the dua, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) raised his hands so much that the whiteness of his armpits was visible.

5. The request must be made in a respectful tone, quietly so that others do not hear, while you can not look to heaven.

6. At the end of the du’a, it is necessary, as at the beginning, to pronounce the words of praise of Allah and salawat to the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) then say:

سُبْحَانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ .

وَسَلَامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ .وَالْحَمْدُ لِلهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

"Subhana Rabbikya Rabbil 'izatti 'amma yasifuna wa salamun 'alal mursalina wal-hamdulillahi Rabbil 'alamin" .

fondihlas

We will try to answer the question in detail: praise of Allah prayer on the site: the site is for our esteemed readers.

The Koran, which is the holy book for all Muslims, says that if you pray to Allah every day, then it will certainly be rewarded. Faith in this is so strong in the soul of every true believer that believers turn to Allah many times throughout the day, both in sorrow and in joy. Every Muslim believes that only Allah is able to protect him from any earthly evil.

Thanksgiving and Praise to Allah in Daily Prayer

The Qur'an says that the faithful should always praise and thank Allah every day.

Daily prayer translated into Russian is as follows:

Muslim prayers to Allah

There are a huge number of different Muslim prayers that are read in a variety of everyday situations. For example, there are special prayers that need to be read in the morning while dressing and vice versa, in the evening while undressing. Be sure to read prayers before eating.

Every Muslim always reads a prayer when he puts on new clothes, and at the same time asks Allah to protect him from damage. In addition, the prayer mentions gratitude to the one who created the clothes, as well as the request of Allah to send him the highest blessings.

Be sure to use a prayer before the faithful leaves the house or in cases where you have to enter someone's house. In this way, honor and respect are expressed for the people whose house one has to visit.

Prayer "Kulhu Allah Ahad" in Arabic

The prayer “Kulhu Allah Ahad” is aimed at ensuring that a person can fulfill his own desires.

In Arabic, the text of the prayer reads as follows:

Lam yalid wa lam yulad

Wa lam yakun llahu, kufuvan ahad.”

It is believed that this appeal is more effective if it is pronounced in Arabic. It is imperative to take into account the fact that a believer who has a pure soul and sincere thoughts can read this prayer. Otherwise, Allah simply will not hear the request and will not help. You also need to know that this prayer is not pronounced on its own. It is important to understand the very essence of the ceremony. The person for whom the prayer is offered should sit on a chair, and the one who says the prayer puts his hands on his head.

After this, the words of the prayer are pronounced. For greater effectiveness, the rite is recommended to be carried out several days in a row.

Listen to the prayer "Kulhu Allah Ahad":

The text of the prayer "Kulhu Allah Ahad" in Russian

Despite the fact that the prayer "Kulhu Allah Ahad" is considered stronger in the original language, it is allowed to pronounce its words in Russian. There are several variations of this prayer.

For example, you can pray with the following words:

It is important to understand that this prayer does not carry a magical connotation, it contains a philosophical and religious grain. And this is exactly what the people participating in the ceremony should fully experience. It is important to sincerely believe that Allah will hear the prayer and will certainly reliably protect the person. But this is only possible if a person has a bright soul.

Prayer to Allah for help "O Allah, help me"

Namaz is an obligatory ritual for any Muslim. He builds not only from prayers, but also from certain actions. Therefore, someone who has recently converted to Islam will need to make great efforts in order to master all the rules. Of course, at first it will be necessary to gradually study all the necessary prayers.

But first of all, you should know that there is a single prayer that can be used at any time.

It sounds like this:

In addition, there is a very important prayer for beginners who are just getting acquainted with the rules of prayer.

After the obligatory prayers, the following prayer phrase should be said:

Prayer "Allah Akbar"

"Allah Akbar" in Arabic means - the great Lord. This phrase recognizes the power and power of the Almighty. In the Muslim religion, "Allah Akbar" is a formula for recognizing the Greatness of the Lord. This phrase emphasizes obedience to Allah, it is one of the phrases that reflect the true obedience to the Almighty, an oath of denial of other powers and dominions.

Every Muslim child understands what "Allah Akbar" means. This sacred phrase resounds on the lips of Muslims throughout their lives, and these words accompany all the deeds of the faithful. This phrase is always heard in Islamic prayers. It is treated as a separate prayer appeal.

It can be translated as follows:

It is incorrect to refer to this expression as a war cry. It is rather a reminder for the faithful that regardless of the situation, God is Great and omnipotent. It must be remembered that success and happiness for a Muslim comes from Allah, his whole life depends on him. The believer pronounces “Allah Akbar” when he is very frightened and after that his soul will surely calm down. Because he will remember that everything is in the hands of God. With the help of this phrase, you can also remove anger from the soul, calm down and prevent wrong actions. This prayer expression is also pronounced in moments of joy and success as a token of thanksgiving to God.

Praise of Allah Prayer

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الاَْوَّلِ بِلا أَوَّل كانَ قَبْلَهُ، وَالاْخِرِ بِلا آخِر يَكُونُ بَعْدَهُ، الَّذي قَصُرَتْ عَنْ رُؤْيَتِهِ أَبْصارُ النّاظِرينَ، وَعَجَزَتْ عَنْ نَعْتِهِ أَوْهامُ الْواصِفينَ.

اِبْتَدَعَ بِقُدْرَتِهِ الْخَلْقَ ابْتِداعاً، وَاخْتَرعَهُمْ عَلى مَشِيَّتِهِ اخْتِراعاً، ثُمَّ سَلَكَ بِهِمْ طَريقَ إِرادَتِهِ، وَبَعَثَهُمْ في سَبيلِ مَحَبَّتِهِ، لايَمْلِكونَ تَأْخيراً عَمّا قَدَّمَهُمْ إِلَيْهِ، وَلا يَسْتَطيعُونَ تَقَدُّماً إِلى ما أَخَّرَهُمْ عَنْهُ، وَجَعَلَ لِكُلِّ رُوح مِنْهُمْ قُوتاً مَعْلُوماً مَقْسُوماً مِنْ رِزْقِهِ، لا يَنْقُصُ مَنْ زادَهُ ناقِصٌ، ولا يَزيدُ مَنْ نَقَصَ مِنْهُمْ زائِدٌ.

ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ لَهُ فِي الْحَياةِ أَجَلاً مَوْقُوتاً، وَنَصَبَ لَهُ أَمَداً مَحْدُوداً، يَتَخَطّى إِلَيْهِ بِأَيّامِ عُمُرِهِ، و يَرْهَقُهُ بِأَعْوامِ دَهْرِهِ، حَتّى إِذا بَلَغَ أَقْصى أَثَرِهِ، وَاسْتَوْعَبَ حِسابَ عُمُرِهِ، قَبَضَهُ إِلى ما نَدَبَهُ

إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مَوْفُورِثَوابِهِ، أَوْ مَحْذُورِ عِقابِهِ (لِيَجْزِيَ الَّذينَ أَسَاءُوا بِما عَمِلُوا وَيَجْزِيَ الّذينَ أَحْسَنُوا بِالْحُسْنى)عَدْلاً مِنْهُ، تَقَدَّسَتْ أَسْماؤُهُ وَتَظاهَرَتْ آلاؤُهُ (لا يُسْأَلُ عَمّا يَفْعَلُ وَهُمْ يُسْأَلُونَ).

وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذي لَوْ حَبَسَ عَنْ عِبادِهِ مَعْرِفَةَ حَمْدِهِ عَلى ما أَبْلاهُمْ مِنْ مِنَنِهِ الْمُتَتابِعَةِ، وَأَسْبَغَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ نِعَمِهِ المُتَظاهِرَةِ، لَتَصَرَّفُوا في مِنَنِهِ فَلَمْ يَحْمَدُوهُ، وَتَوَسَّعُوا في رِزْقِهِ فَلَمْ يَشْكُرُوهُ، وَلَوْ كانُوا كَذلِكَ لَخَرَجُوا مِنْ حُدُودِ الاِْنْسانِيَّةِ إِلى حَدِّ الْبَهيمِيَّةِ، فَكانُوا كَما وَصَفَ في مُحْكَمِ كِتابِهِ (إِنْ هُمْ إِلاّ كَالاَْنْعامِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ سَبيلاً).

وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ عَلى ما عَرَّفَنا مِنْ نَفْسِهِ، وَأَلْهَمَنا مِنْ شُكْرِهِ، وَ فَتَحَ لَنا مِنْ أَبْوابِ الْعِلْمِ بِرُبوبِيَّتِهِ، وَ دَلَّنا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الاِْخْلاصِ لَهُ في تَوْحيدِهِ، وَ جَنَّبَنا مِنَ الاِْلْحادِ وَالشَّكِّ في أَمْرِهِ، حَمْداً نُعَمَّرُ بِهِ في مَنْ حَمِدَهُ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ، وَنَسْبِقُ بِهِ مَنْ سَبَقَ إِلى رِضاهُ وَعَفْوِهِ، حَمْداً يُضيءُ لَنا بِهِ ظُلُماتِ الْبَرْزَخِ، وَيُسَهِّلُ عَلَيْنا بِهِ

سَبيلَ الْمَبْعَثِ، وَيُشَرِّفُ بِهِ مَنازِلَنا عِنْدَ مَواقِفِ الاَْشْهادِ (يَوْمَ تُجْزى كُلُّ نَفْس بِما كَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لايُظْلَمُونَ)، (يَوْمَ لايُغْني مَوْلىً عَنْ مَوْلىً شَيْئاً وَ لاهُمْ يُنْصَرُونَ).

حَمْداً يَرْتَفِعُ مِنّا إِلى أَعْلى عِلِّيِّينَ (في كِتاب مَرْقُوم * يَشْهَدُهُ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ). حَمْداً تَقَرُّ بِه عُيُونُنا إِذا بَرَقَتِ الاَْبْصارُ، وَتَبْيَضُّ بِهِ وُجوُهُنا إِذَا اسْوَدَّتِ الاَْبشارُ، حَمْداً نُعْتَقُ بِهِ مِنْ أَليمِ نارِ اللّهِ إِلى كَريمِ جِوارِ اللّهِ، حَمْداً نُزاحِمُ بِهِ مَلائِكَتَهُ الْمَقَرَّبينَ، وَنُضامُّ بِهِ أَنْبِياءَهُ الْمُرْسَلينَ، في دارِ الْمُقامَةِ الّتي لاتَزُولُ، وَمَحَلِّ كَرامَتِهِ الَّتي لاتَحُولُ.

وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي اخْتارَ لَنا مَحاسِنَ الْخُلْقِ، وَأَجْرى عَلَيْنا طَيِّباتِ الرِّزْقِ، وَجَعَلَ لَنَا الْفَضيلَةَ بِالْمَلَكَةِ عَلى جَميعِ الْخَلْقِ، فَكُلُّ خَليقَتِهِ مُنْقادَةٌ لَنا بِقُدْرَتِهِ، وصائِرَةٌ إِلى طاعَتِنا بِعِزَّتِهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الّذي أَغْلَقَ عَنّا بابَ الْحاجَةِ إِلاّ إِلَيْهِ، فَكَيْفَ نُطِيقُ حَمْدَهُ؟ أَمْ مَتى نُؤَدّي شُكْرَهُ؟ لا، مَتى؟

وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذي رَكَّبَ فينا آلاتِ الْبَسْطِ، وَجَعَلَ لَنا أَدَواتِ الْقَبْضِ، وَ مَتَّعَنا بِأَرْواحِ الْحَياةِ، وَأَثْبَتَ فينا جَوارِحَ الاَْعْمالِ، وَغَذّانا بِطَيِّباتِ الرِّزْقِ، وَأَغْنانا بِفَضْلِهِ، وَأَقْنانا بِمَنِّهِ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَنا لِيَخْتَبِرَ طاعَتَنا، وَنَهانا لِيَبْتَلِيَ شُكْرَنا، فَخالَفْنا عَنْ طَريقِ أَمْرِهِ، وَرَكِبْنا مُتُونَ زَجْرِهِ، فَلَمْ يَبْتَدِرْنا بِعُقُوبَتِهِ، وَلَمْ يُعاجِلْنا بِنِقْمَتِهِ، بَلْ تَأَنّانا بِرَحْمَتِهِ تَكَرُّماً، وَانْتَظَرَ مُراجَعَتَنا بِرَأْفَتِهِ حِلْماً.

وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذي دَلَّنا عَلَى التَّوْبَةِ الَّتي لَمْ نُفِدْها إِلاّ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ، فَلَوْ لَمْ نَعْتَدِدْ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ إِلاّ بِها لَقَدْ حَسُنَ بَلاؤُهُ عِنْدَنا، وَجَلَّ إِحْسانُهُ إِلَيْنا، وَجَسُمَ فَضْلُهُ عَلَيْنا، فَما هكَذا كانَتْ سُنَّتُهُ فِي التَّوْبَةِ لِمَنْ كانَ قَبْلَنا، لَقَدْ وَضَعَ عَنّا ما لاطاقَةَ لَنا بِهِ، وَلَمْ يُكَلِّفْنا إِلاّ وُسْعاً، وَلَمْ يُجَشِّمْنا إِلاّ يُسْراً، وَلَمْ يَدَعْ لاَِحَد مِنّا حُجَّةً وَلاعُذْراً، فَالْهالِكُ مِنّا مَنْ هَلَكَ عَلَيْهِ، وَالسَّعيدُ مِنّا مَنْ رَغِبَ إِلَيْهِ.

وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ بِكُلِّ ما حَمِدَهُ بِهِ أَدْنى مَلائِكَتِهِ إِلَيْهِ، وَأَكْرَمُ خَليقَتِهِ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَرْضى حامِديهِ لَدَيْهِ، حَمْداً يَفْضُلُ سائِرَ الْحَمْدِ، كَفَضْلِ رَبِّنا عَلى جَميعِ خَلْقِهِ، ثُمَّ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ مَكانَ كُلِّ نِعْمَة لَهُ عَلَيْنا وَ عَلى جَميعِ عِبادِهِ الْماضينَ وَالْباقينَ، عَدَدَ ما أَحاطَ بِهِ عِلْمُهُ مِنْ جَميعِ الاَْشياءِ، وَمَكانَ كُلِّ واحِدَة مِنْها عَدَدُها أَضْعافاً مُضاعَفَةً، أَبَداً سَرْمَداً إِلى يَوْمِ الْقِيامَةِ.

حَمْداً لامُنْتَهى لِحَدِّهِ، وَ لاحِسابَ لِعَدَدِهِ، وَلا مَبْلَغَ لِغايَتِهِ، وَلاَ انْقِطاعَ لاَِمَدِهِ، حَمْداً يَكُونُ وُصْلَةً إِلى طاعَتِهِ وَعَفْوِهِ، وَسَبَباً إِلى رِضْوانِهِ، وَذَريعةً إِلى مَغْفِرَتِهِ، وَطَريقاً إِلى جَنَّتِهِ، وَخَفيراً مِنْ نِقْمَتِهِ، وَأَمْناً مِنْ غَضَبِهِ، وَظَهيراً عَلى طاعَتِهِ، وَحاجِزاً عَنْ مَعْصِيَتِهِ، وَعَوْناً عَلى تَأْدِيَةِ حَقِّهِ وَوَظائِفِهِ.

حَمْداً نَسْعَدُ بِهِ فِي السُّعَداءِ مِنْ أَوْلِيائِهِ، وَنَصيرُ بِهِ في نَظْمِ الشُّهَداءِ بِسُيُوفِ أَعْدائِهِ، إِنّهُ وَلِيٌّ حَميدٌ.

Praise and gratitude to Allah, the very first and the very last, before and after which there is no one! To Allah, whom sighted eyes are not able to see and describe deep thoughts! By His power He created beings and by His will breathed life into them, directed them along the path that; chose for them, and guided them to His way! love!

When He sends them forward, no one can bring them back, and when He brings them back, there is no power that can make them move forward.

He determined the subsistence and wealth of every living being, so that no one can even partially reduce the wealth of one to whom much is given, or add a little to the property of one to whom little is given.

Then He determined the duration of each person's life, the limited time that he must walk in steps of days and years, until it expires. And when a person takes his last steps, filling the cup of his life, He will take him to himself and either generously reward him or throw him into the abyss of a terrible punishment in order to reward virtues and villains according to their merits, for this is His Justice.

Pure and undefiled are His names, and infinite are His blessings! No one can call Him to account for what He does, only He requires everyone to answer for what they have done.

Praise and gratitude to Allah, who did not deny His servants the ability to praise Himself. Indeed, if in response to the blessings sent down one after another, they used them and did not utter words of gratitude, longed for more than they were destined for, and did not give thanks for what was sent down, they would sink below man and would become like animals. They would become those of whom Allah Almighty said in His Quran: “They are only like cattle, and even more astray.”

Praise and gratitude to Allah, who helped us to know Himself and taught us to thank Himself, opened the doors of His incomparable wisdom to us, showed us the path of true monotheism and delivered us from heresy and doubts in His decrees! We thank Him so sincerely that if we were among those who utter words of gratitude, He would always be with us and with His help we would be ahead of all who yearn for His mercy and forgiveness. We thank Him so that the ray of this gratitude illuminates the terrible darkness of the grave for us and aligns our path on the Day of Judgment, on that Day when everyone will receive a reward for their deeds and no one will be offended when a friend cannot stand up for a friend and no one can help another. On the Day when we answer, may these words of gratitude uplift and exalt us!

May the words of praise and gratitude ascend to heaven and fit into our track record, and may the divine angels be their witnesses!

We exalt praise and gratitude to Allah, so that on the day when the veil of amazement eclipses all eyes, the words of gratitude leave our eyes clear and that on the day when some will be dishonored, we will avoid this fate!

May our praise and gratitude deliver us from the painful fire of God's punishment and give us His mercy!

May our praise and gratitude make us interlocutors of the close angels of the Lord and in that eternal kingdom where His generosity rules, make us equal with His prophets!

Praise be to Allah, who has chosen for us the best qualities and bestowed upon us the best blessings! Praise be to Allah, who has given us superiority and dominion over all creatures, so that by His command any creature is subject to us and is at our disposal!

Praise be to Allah, who has closed the doors of need for anyone other than Himself! How can we praise Him? When can we praise Him? No, we can never.

Praise be to Allah, who created in our body the muscles for movement and gave us life by breathing the spirit into the body. He gave us organs with which we can do various things, gave us tasty food to live on, delivered us from want and gave us riches to test our obedience and gratitude. He ordered us to do some things and forbade us to do others. When we disobeyed Him and showed disobedience, He did not rush to punish us. Generous and merciful, He gave us time. Kind and patient. He gave us time to come to our senses and return to Him.

Praise and gratitude to Allah, who showed us the way of repentance! Were it not for His wisdom, we would never have found this path. If, of all His mercies, we were limited to this one, and then His gifts would be wonderful for us, His mercy would be great, and generosity would be incomparable, for His way of accepting repentance from former peoples was different. He freed us from everything that is beyond our patience and our strength. He has given us duties according to our ability and obligated us to do only simple and easy things, so that none of us has a reason to disobey.

Each of us in case of disobedience will be punished, and the one who falls to His throne will be crowned with a crown of happiness.

Praise and gratitude to Allah! Praise and gratitude offered by His closest angels, the most beloved of creatures and the most praised praisers! A praise that surpasses the highest of praises, just as our Creator surpasses all His creations!

Praise be to Him for every blessing sent down and sent down by Him to us and other slaves in the past and present! Praise be to the quantity of all things included in His infinite wisdom! Praise a hundred times greater than his mercy! Praise that has no beginning or end and will last until the Day of Judgment! Praise knows no limits and boundaries! Praise is countless, endless, beyond time! Praise, leading us to obedience to Allah and His mercy, causing His mercy and forgiveness, which is the way to His paradise, a refuge from His punishment, protection from His wrath, help in obeying Him, a barrier from sin, support in the fulfillment of the instructions that are due to Him! Praise that will introduce us into the ranks of His happy friends, into the ranks of those who died a martyr's death at the swords of His enemies! Verily, He is the guardian, the praised one!

Before each prayer, his lordship so praised Allah Almighty.

Praise of Allah Prayer

Du'a is one of the forms of worshiping Allah Almighty. When a person makes a request to the Creator, by this action he confirms his belief that only Allah Almighty can give a person everything he needs; that He is the only one to rely on and to whom one should turn with prayers. Allah loves those who, as often as possible, turn to Him with various (permitted according to Sharia) requests.

Du'a is the weapon of a Muslim, granted to him by Allah. One day the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) asked: “Do you want me to teach you such a tool that will help you overcome the misfortunes and troubles that have befallen you?”. “We want,” the companions replied. Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) replied: “If you read the du’a“ La illaha illa anta subhanakya inni kuntu minaz-zalimin 247 ", and if you read a du'a for a brother in faith, who is absent at that moment, then the du'a will be accepted by the Almighty." Angels stand next to the reader and say: “Amen. May the same be with you.”

Du'a is an ibadat rewarded by Allah and there is a certain order for its fulfillment:

Du'a should begin with the words of praise of Allah: "Alhamdulillahi Rabbil'alamin", then you need to read salawat to the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam): "Allahumma sally 'ala ali Muhammadin wa sallam", then it is necessary to repent of sins: "Astaghfirullah".

It is reported that Fadala bin Ubayd (radiallahu anhu) said: “(Once) the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) heard how one person during his prayer began to address prayers to Allah, without praising (before that) Allah and not turning to Him with prayers for the Prophet, (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ), and the Messenger of Allah, (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), said: “This (man) hastened!”, - after which he called him to him and said to him / or:. to someone else/:

“When one of you (wants) turns to Allah with a prayer, let him begin by giving praise to his Most Glorious Lord and glorify Him, then let him invoke blessings on the Prophet” - (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), - “and then he asks for whatever he wants.

Caliph Umar (may the mercy of Allah overshadow him) said: “Our prayers reach the heavenly spheres called “Sama” and “Arsha” and remain there until we say salawat to Muhammad(sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) , and only after that they reach the Divine Throne.

2. If the du’a contains important requests, then before it begins, you need to perform ablution, and if it is very important, you must perform ablution of the whole body.

3. When reading du'a, it is advisable to turn your face towards Qibla.

4. Hands should be held in front of the face with palms up. After completing the du’a, you need to run your hands over your face so that the barakah, with which the outstretched hands are filled, touches your face. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “ Indeed, your Lord, Living, Generous, cannot refuse His servant if he raises his hands in supplication.

Anas (radiallahu anhu) reports that during the dua, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) raised his hands so much that the whiteness of his armpits was visible.

5. The request must be made in a respectful tone, quietly so that others do not hear, while you can not look to heaven.

6. At the end of the du’a, it is necessary, as at the beginning, to pronounce the words of praise of Allah and salawat to the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) then say:

سُبْحَانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ .

وَسَلَامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ .وَالْحَمْدُ لِلهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

"Subhana Rabbikya Rabbil 'izatti 'amma yasifuna wa salamun 'alal mursalina wal-hamdulillahi Rabbil 'alamin" .
