    As soon as Musa Alaihissalaam came from Madyan, he called Fir`awn to Allah and demonstrated tremendous miracles and clear proofs for the Truth that he brought.

    Fir`awn then sent emissaries to various cities of his kingdom and collected magicians who were scattered throughout Egypt. Fir`awn and his people chose from them, summoned them, and Fir`awn promised them great rewards. These magicians were very eager to prevail over Musa Alaihissalaam in front of Fir`awn, so that they might become closer to him. Musa Alaihissalaam neither knew any of them nor saw or met them before.

    “Musa Alaihissalaam met the leader of the magicians and said to him, `If I defeat you, will you believe in me and bear witness that what I brought is the truth’

    The magician said, `Tomorrow, I will produce a type of magic that cannot be defeated by another magic. By Allah! If you defeat me, I will believe in you and testify to your truth.’

    After witnessing the signs of Allah,they fell in prostration.

    Pharoah threatened them by saying:

    (123. Fir`awn said: “You have believed in him (Musa Alaihissalaam) before I gave you permission. Surely, this is a plot which you have plotted in the city to drive out its people, but you shall come to know.”) (124. “Surely, I will cut off your hands and your feet from opposite sides, then I will crucify you all.”)

    but they said, `We are now sure that we will go back to Allah. Certainly, Allah’s punishment is more severe than your punishment and His torment for what you are calling us to, this day, and the magic you forced us to practice, is greater than your torment. Therefore, we will observe patience in the face of your punishment today, so that we are saved from Allah’s torment.’

    Then they made this supplication

    (“Our Lord! pour out on us patience”), with your religion and being firm in it,

    (“and cause us to die as Muslims.”)

    • Dua for Forgiveness and Submission to Allah

      dua112

      ”We hear and we obey, [We seek] Your Forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return (of all)”

      سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا ۖ غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ

      Surah Al-Baqarah ,verse 285

      Click here for the “DUA BOOK” having 120 Beautiful Du’as from the Holy Quran.

      It can be recited for

      • Forgiveness of sins
      • Submission to Allah

      Allah says in the Holy Quran:-

      “ The Messenger believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in Allah, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. (They say,) “We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers ـ and they say, “We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return (of all).” Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned. “Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error…..give us victory over the disbelieving people.” (2:285-286)

      Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Hurayrah said, “When the following verse was revealed to the Messenger of Allah ,

      “To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on the earth, and whether you disclose what is in yourselves or conceal it, Allah will call you to account for it. Then He forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills. And Allah is able to do all things”

      It was very hard for the Companions of the Messenger of Allah . The Companions came to the Messenger and fell to their knees saying, `O Messenger of Allah! We were asked to perform what we can bear of deeds: the prayer, the fast, Jihad and charity. However, this Ayah was revealed to you, and we cannot bear it.’

      The Messenger of Allah said,

      “Do you want to repeat what the People of the Two Scriptures before you said, that is, `We hear and we disobey’ Rather, say, `We hear and we obey, and we seek Your forgiveness, O our Lord, and the Return is to You.”

      When the people accepted this statement and their tongues recited it, Allah sent down afterwards,

      “The Messenger believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do)the believers. Each one believes in Allah, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. (They say,) “We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers ـ and they say, “We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return (of all).”

      And they say, “We hear, and we obey” means, we heard Your statement, O our Lord, comprehended and implemented it, and adhered to its implications.

      “(We seek) Your forgiveness, our Lord” contains a plea and supplication for Allah’s forgiveness, mercy and kindness.

       

       

    • Dua to thank Allah and to seek Allah’s pleasure, piety and Pious children

      dua225

      “My Lord! Grant me the power that I may be grateful for Your Favour which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and that I may do righteous deeds, which please You, and make righteous for me my offspring; indeed, I turn to You and indeed I am of those who submit”

      رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِىٓ أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَالِدَيَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَـٰلِحًا تَرْضَىٰهُ وَأَصْلِحْ لِي فِي ذُرِّيَّتِي ۖ إِنِّي تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَإِنِّي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ

      Surah Al-Ahqaf ,verse 15

      • To express gratitude and thankfulness to Allah
      • For piety and taqwa
      • To seek Allah’s Pleasure

      Allah says in the Holy Quran:-

      (15. And We have enjoined on man to be dutiful and kind to his parents. His mother bears him with hardship. And she delivers him with hardship. And (the period of) his gestation and the weaning of him is thirty months, till when he attains full strength and reaches forty years, he says: “My Lord! Grant me the power and ability that I may be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and that I may do righteous good deeds, such as please You, and make my offspring good. Truly, I have turned to You in repentance, and truly, I am one of the Muslims.”)

      “My Lord! Grant me the power and ability) meaning, `inspire me.’

      (that I may be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and that I may do righteous good deeds, such as please You,) meaning, in the future.

      (and make my offspring good.) meaning, my offspring and descendants.

      (Truly, I have turned to You in repentance, and truly, I am one of the Muslims.) This contains an instruction for anyone who reaches forty years of age to renew his repentance and turn to Allah with strong resolution.

      Allah then says,

      (Those are the ones from whom We shall accept the best of what they did and overlook their evil deeds. (They shall be) among the dwellers of Paradise.) meaning, those to whom applies the above description — those who repent to Allah, turn back to Him, and rectify their shortcomings through repentance and seeking forgiveness – those are the ones from whom We will accept the best of what they did and overlook their evil deeds. Many of their errors will be forgiven and Allah will accept from them a modest amount of deeds.

       

    • Dua to seek Forgiveness and affection for the believers

      dua227

      “Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith and put not in our hearts [any] rancour towards those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are full of kindness, Most Merciful.”

      رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِالْإِيمَانِ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ فِي قُلُوبِنَا غِلًّا لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ

      Rabbanaa ighfir lanaa wali-ikhwaaninal-latheena sabaqoonaa bil-eemaani walaa taj’al fee quloobinaa ghillan lillatheena aamanoo rabbanaa innaka raoofun raheem

      Surah Al-Hashr ,verse 10

      Click here for the “DUA BOOK” having 120 Beautiful Du’as from the Holy Quran.

      It can be recited for the following purposes:-

      • Forgiveness of your sins
      • Forgiveness of the believers
      • To develop affection and love for the believing men and women
      • To invoke Allah for His Kindness and Mercy

      Listen to the recitation of this dua.

       

      Allah says in the Holy Quran:-

      (And there is also a share in this booty) for the poor emigrants, who were expelled from their homes and their property, seeking bounties from Allah and (His) good pleasure, and helping Allah and His Messenger. Such are indeed the truthful.) (9. And (it is also for) those who, before them, had homes and had adopted the faith, love those who emigrate to them, and have no jealousy in their breasts for that which they have been given, and give them preference over themselves even though they were in need of that. And whosoever is saved from his own greed, such are they who will be the successful.) (10. And those who came after them say: “Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who have preceded us in faith, and put not in our hearts any hatred against those who have believed. Our Lord! You are indeed full of kindness, Most Merciful.)

       

      Here Allah describes three types of believers.These three types are the Muhajirin, the Ansar and those who followed their righteous lead with excellence.

       

      This is the supplication of the third type of believers.The third type are those who followed the Muhajirin and Ansar in their good works, beautiful attributes and who invoke Allah for them in public and secret. This is why Allah, the Exalted said in this honorable Ayah,

       

      (And those who came after them say), meaning, the statement that they utter is,

       

      (Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who have preceded us in faith, and put not in our hearts any hatred), meaning, rage or envy,

       

      Indeed, it is a beautiful way that Imam Malik used this honorable Ayah to declare that the Rafidah who curse the Companions do not have a share in the Fai’ money, because they do not have the good quality of those whom Allah has described here.

       

      Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that `A’ishah Radi Allahu anha said, “They were commanded to invoke Allah to forgive them, but instead, they cursed them!” She then recited the above ayah.

      Allah said that the people with knowledge supplicate to their Lord,

      “Our Lord! Let not our hearts deviate (from the truth) after You have guided us.” meaning, do not deviate our hearts from the guidance after You allowed them to acquire it. Do not make us like those who have wickedness in their hearts, those who follow the Mutashabih in the Qur’an. Rather, make us remain firmly on Your straight path and true religion.”

      “And grant us from Ladunka” meaning, from You,

      “Mercy” with which You make our hearts firm, and increase in our Faith and certainty,

      “Truly, You are the Bestower”

      “O You Who changes the hearts, make my heart firm on Your religion.”

      He then recited,

      “Our Lord! Let not our hearts deviate (from the truth) after You have guided us, and grant us mercy from You. Truly, You are the Bestower.’’

      Imam Ahmad recorded that Ibn `Abbas said: The Prophet (Peace be upon him) was in Makkah, then he was commanded to emigrate, and Allah revealed these words: At-Tirmidhi said, “This is Hasan Sahih.”

      Al-Hasan Al-Basri commented on this Ayah, “When the disbelievers of Makkah conspired to kill the Messenger of Allah , or expel him or imprison him, Allah wanted him to fight the people of Makkah, and commanded him to go to Al-Madinah.

      What Allah said was:

      (And say: “My Lord! Let my entry be good…”) means, my entry to Al-Madinah.

      (and (likewise) my exit be good, ) means, my exit from Makkah. This was also the view of `Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam.

      (And grant me from You a helping authority.) Al-Hasan Al-Basri explained this Ayah; “His Lord promised to take away the kingdom and glory of Persia and give it to him, and the kingdom and glory of Byzantium and give it to him.”

      Qatadah said, “The Prophet of Allah knew that that he could not achieve this without authority or power, so he asked for authority to help him support the Book of Allah, the Laws of Allah, the obligations of Allah and to establish the religion of Allah.

      Authority is a mercy from Allah which He places among His servants, otherwise some of them would attack others, and the strong would consume the weak.” Alongside the truth, he also needed power and authority in order to suppress those who opposed and resisted him, hence Allah said:

      (Indeed We have sent Our Messengers with clear proofs,)
