    سَمِـعَ سـامِعُ بِحَمْـدِ اللهِ وَحُسْـنِ بَلائِـهِ عَلَيْـنا. رَبَّنـا صـاحِبْـنا وَأَفْـضِل عَلَيْـنا عائِذاً باللهِ مِنَ النّـار
     
    Sami’a saami’un bihamdillaahi wa husni balaa’ihi ‘alaynaa. Rabbanaa saahibnaa, wa ‘afdhil ‘alaynaa ‘aa’ithan billaahi minan-naar.
     
     
    Muslim 4/2086, the meaning of sami’a saami’un (who listens has heard) is that ‘a witness has witnessed our praise of Allah due to His blessings and favor upon us.’ It could also be read samma’a saami’un, in which case it means ‘one who has heard this statement of mine will convey it to another and he will say it as well.’ This is due to the attention given to the Dhikr (remembrance of Allah) and supplications made during the early morning hours.
     
    The meaning of his saying ‘Our Lord, be with us and bestow Your favor upon us’ is: ‘Our Lord, protect us and guard us. Bless us with Your numerous bounties, and avert from us every evil.’ See An-Nawawi,  Sahih Muslim

    Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that `Abdullah bin `Amr said, “The people of Hell will call on Malik for forty years, and he will not answer them. Then he will respond and tell them that they are to abide therein. By Allah, their cries will mean nothing to Malik or to the Lord of Malik. Then they will call on their Lord and will say,

     

    (Our Lord! Our wretchedness overcame us, and we were (an) erring people. Our Lord! Bring us out of this. If ever we return (to evil), then indeed we shall be wrongdoers.) ﴿23:106-107﴾ Allah will not answer them for a time span equivalent to twice the duration of this world. Then He will reply:

     

    (108. He (Allah) will say [to the disbelievers] : “Remain you in it with ignominy! And speak you not to Me!”)

     

    By Allah, the people will not utter a single word after that, and they will merely be in the Fire of Hell, sighing in a high and low tone. Their voices are likened to those of donkeys, which start in a high tone and end in a low tone.”

     

    Then Allah will remind them of their sins in this world and how they used to make fun of His believing servants and close friends:

     

    (109. Verily, there was a party of My servants who used to say: “Our Lord! We believe, so forgive us and have mercy on us, for You are the Best of all who show mercy!”) (110. But you took them for a laughing stock, so much so that they made you forget My remembrance while you used to laugh at them!) meaning, `you made fun of them for calling on Me and praying to Me and your hatred for them made you forget what I would do to you.

     

    Then Allah tells us how He will reward His friends and righteous servants, and says:

     

    (111. Verily, I have rewarded them this Day for their patience; they are indeed the ones that are successful.)

     

    I have caused them to attain the victory of joy, safety, Paradise and salvation from the Fire.’

    Method of Supplicating


    One should supplicate after doing Wudhu.
    Supplicate facing the Qibla.
    One should supplicate with both hands raised.
    Before Dua, one must recite the praise and glorification of Almighty Allah.
    Recite Durood-e-pak before and after reciting supplication. (It is given at the end of this section).
    Never supplicate for an unlawful thing or cutting off of relations.
    Supplicate with presence of mind.
    One must have a good notion about Almighty Allah that He is kind, and He would not return the supplicant empty handed.
    One should be absolutely attentive to Almighty Allah.
    One should supplicate fervently.  One should mention the needs.  One must include others also in one’s supplications.
    One must express his humility and weakness before Almighty Allah.
    Give Sadaqah (charity) before supplicating, if possible
    Supplicate before the arrival of calamity. Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him) says: You should recognize Almighty Allah during prosperity and He will come to your help when you are in trouble.
    You should request brothers in faith to pray for you as the Almighty accepts the supplication of one believer for another.
    Continue to supplicate regularly whether your supplication is answered or not; perhaps there is some divine exigency in the delay and dua is loved by Almighty Allah, thus one should never give up the most liked act.

    Say “Ameen” at the end of making dua.

    After the supplication, pass both hands over the face.

    Along with supplication, one must abandon all the unlawful acts and disobedience of Allah as bad intentions, internal evil, hypocrisy, delay in ritual prayer and disobedience of parents hinder acceptance of supplications.

    Durood e paak


    Read durood e paak before and after making dua.

    Durood means to send peace and blessings on our HOLY PROPHET (PEACE BE UPON HIM). It is a great act of worship.
    ”Indeed,Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet: O you who have believed, Send ye blessings on him, and salute him with all respect” [33:56]
    ”O Allah, bestow Your favor on Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and on the family of Muhammad (Peace be upon him) as You have bestowed Your favor on Ibrahim (Peace be upon him) and on the family of Ibrahim (Peace be upon him), You are Praiseworthy, Most Glorious.
    O Allah, bless Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and the family of Muhammad (Peace be upon him) as You have blessed Ibrahim (Peace be upon him) and the family of Ibrahim(Peace be upon him) , You are Praiseworthy, Most Glorious”
    اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ، اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ
    Allahumma salli alaa muhammadin wa alaa aali muhammadin kamaa sallaita alaa ibrahima wa alaa aali ibrahima innaka hameedum majeed
    Allaahumma baarik alaa muhammadin wa alaa aali muhammadin kamaa baarakta alaa ibrahima wa alaa aali ibrahima innaka hameedum majeed
