A duā to get whatever you want إنْ شاءَ اَلرَّبُّ وَعِشْنَا:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ الأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ

(O Allah, Indeed, I ask you by my testifying that You are Allah, there is none worthy of worship except You, the One, As-Samad, the one who does not beget, nor was begotten, and there is none who is like Him.)

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ heard a man supplicating:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ الأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ

(O Allah, Indeed, I ask you by my testifying that You are Allah, there is none worthy of worship except You, the One, As-Samad, the one who does not beget, nor was begotten, and there is none who is like Him).

Messenger of Allah ﷺsaid: "By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, he has asked Allah by His Greatest Name, the one which if He is called upon by it, He responds, and when He is asked by it, He gives."

— Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3475

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلٰي ؕ

Your Lord ˹O Prophet˺ has not abandoned you, nor has He become hateful ˹of you˺.

—Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى | Quran 93:3

This Ayah brings so much comfort. Allāh ﷻ Himself affirms us by telling that He is always there with us, irrespective of any circumstances. That people may loathe you, but your Creator ﷻ won't. That people will abandon you, but your Creator ﷻ won't. Allāh ﷻ loves us, He listens to us, He knows us. Isn't that assuring in itself? This ayat is the perfect embodiment of peace, reassurance and the love of Allah ﷻ .

رَبَّنَا وَاٰتِنَا مَا وَعَدْتَّنَا عَلٰي رُسُلِكَ وَلَا تُخْزِنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ ؕ اِنَّكَ لَا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيْعَادَ

"Our Lord! Grant us what You have promised us through Your messengers and do not put us to shame on Judgment Day—for certainly You never fail in Your promise.”

—Surah Aal-e-Imran [3:194]

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:

“Verily, the supplication of a fasting person is not turned away at the time of breaking fast .”

—Sunan Ibn Mājah 1753

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:

"Take Suhur as there is a blessing in it."

—Sahih al-Bukhari 1923

Sufyan Ibn 'Uyaynah رحمه الله said:

"He whose sin is due to desire, then have hope for him; and he whose sin is due to pride, then fear for him. Because Adam (alayhi al-Salam) sinned due to desire, and he was forgiven; and Iblis sinned due to pride, and he was cursed."

[Related by Imam al-Dhahabi in Siyar A lam al-Nub ala(8/471) |

DUĀ TO RECITE IN THE LAST 10 DAYS OF RAMADAN:

الْلَّهُمَّ اِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي

“O Allah, You are the Most forgiving, and You love to forgive, so forgive me.”

—Tirmidhi 3513

Narrated by Abu Hurayrah:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) talked about Friday and said:

"There is an hour (opportune time) on Friday and if a Muslim gets it while praying and asks something from Allah, then Allah will definitely meet his demand." And he (the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) pointed out the shortness of that time with his hands.

Today is Friday and also an odd night of Ramadan. May Allah ﷻ forgive all of our sins and transgressions and make Paradise an eternal abode for each and every Muslim. May Allah ﷻ accept our Ibadah and become pleased with us. Ameen Sum Ameen.

Don't forget to send salawat on our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

May Allāh ﷻ reward us all.

Hazrat Adam's السلام عليه Duā for forgiveness.

رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا أَنْفُسَنَا وَإِنْ لَمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ

“Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers.”

—Surah Al A’raf verse 23

The greatest consequence of sin is not the punishment that comes from it, but the distance that comes between you and Allāh ﷻ

—Imam al Ghazāli

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said:

"By Him in Whose Hand is my life, if you were not to commit sin, Allāh ﷻ would sweep you out of existence and He would replace (you by) those people who would commit sin and seek forgiveness from Allāh ﷻ, and He would have pardoned them."

—Sahih Muslim 2749

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

"Whoever fasts Ramadan out of faith and the hope of reward will be forgiven his previous sins.”

—Sunan Ibn Majah 1641

Now who doesn't want their sins to be forgiven? To be one of the residents of Jannah. To reside under the shadows of trees, to enjoy the flowing rivers. For us to attain the biggest success of this world and the Hereafter which is undoubtedly Jannah, it is essential to work for it. This longanimity of fasts, insatiable thirst, will all be rewarded in the best way possible. May Allāh ﷻ allow us to be the one entering "Rayyan" —one of the eight gates of Heaven for the people who observed fasts only for the sake of Allāh ﷻ.

It was narrated that 'Aishah (R.A) said:

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَ عُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا عَمِلْتُ وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا لَمْ أَعْمَلْ

"O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the evil of what I have done and from the evil of what I have not done yet."

—Sunan an-Nasa'i 5526

One of the greatest virtues of praying Taraweeh in the mosque, behind the Imam.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:

"Whoever prays Qiyam with the Imam until he finishes, Allah (SWT) will record for him the Qiyam of a (whole) night."

—Sunan an-Nasa'i 1605

SubhanAllah! Indeed, Allāh ﷻ is THE MERCIFUL.

Hazrat Ali (رضي الله عنه) reported:

A slave who had made a contract with his master to pay for his freedom, came to me and said: "I am unable to fulfill my obligation, so help me." He said to him: "Shall I not teach you a supplication which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) taught me? It will surely prove so effective that if you have a debt as large as a huge mountain, Allah will surely pay it for you. Say:

اللّهُمَّ اكْفِنِي بِحَلَالِكَ عَنْ حَرَامِكَ، وَأغْنِنِي بِفَضْلِكَ عَمَّن سِوَاك‏َ

"(O Allah! Grant me enough of what You make lawful so that I may dispense with what You make unlawful, and enable me by Your Grace to dispense with all but You)."

—Riyad as-Salihin 1486

Anytime you see a goodness in me, it's all because of the MERCY of Allāh ﷻ that He ﷻ has chosen me to be committing these acts. Whether it's patience, kindness, steadfastness, intelligence, good character, justice— the list goes on. It's always Allah's mercy. It's the only truth. Any achievement you see of mine is already decreed by Allāh ﷻ. Nothing is in my hand and nothing will be. Even the choice of my Sajdah is already been decided by my Lord ﷻ up there. Subsequently, it opens a new door of gratitude since nothing could ever be possible without Him ﷻ. Allāh ﷻ the Lord of the WORLDS. Not just the life which is born on earth, the lives of the millions of worlds which are incomprehensible to our limited mind. Yet, Allah ﷻ is the most Merciful towards me! It's very good to be reminded of your position and humble yourself before "Al-Malik".

If a heart becomes attached to anything other than Allah, Allah makes him dependent on what he is attached to. And he will be betrayed by it.❞

— Ibn Al-Qayyim (raḥimahullāh)

Ya Allāh ﷻ, please make me dependant on YOU only. You're my Rabb, my Lord, my Peace. Don't make me walk on any road that takes me farther away from you, leaving me all astray. Make me independent of everything. You, your love, your nearness, your promises suffice me.

We all as Muslims try our best to pray the five obligatory Salahs! Now as important that is, we must strive to attain a deeper connection with Allāh ﷻ in our prayers by knowing the meaning of our utterances. So here is the translation of the DUA which we begin our prayer with.

سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ

“Glorious You are O Allah, and with Your praise, and blessed is Your Name, and exalted is Your majesty, and none has the right to be worshipped but You.”

Let's be mindful of our duas, recitation in our prayers. In Sha Allah, Allāh ﷻ will be pleased with our efforts.

اَفَمَنْ يَّمْشِيْ مُكِبًّا عَلٰي وَجْهِهٖۤ اَهْدٰۤي اَمَّنْ يَّمْشِيْ سَوِيًّا عَلٰي صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ

"Who is ˹rightly˺ guided: the one who crawls facedown or the one who walks upright on the Straight Path?"

—Al-Mulk 67:22

Narrated `Aisha رضي الله عنها:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Search for the Night of Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadan."

—Sahih al-Bukhari, Book 32, Hadith 4
