    When Allah commanded Prophet Musa Alaihissalaam to go to Fir`awn to convey the Message of Allah, Musa Alaihissalaam made this dua. He requsted his Lord to expand his chest for his mission. For verily, He was commanding him with a great task and a weighty affair. He was sending him to the mightiest king on the face of the earth at that time. He was the most arrogant and severe of all people in his disbelief, and He had the largest army and the most powerful kingdom. He was the most tyrannical and the most obstinate of rulers. His case was such that he claimed not to know Allah at all, and that he knew of no god for his subjects other than himself. Along with this, Musa lived in his home for a period of time as a child. He stayed in Fir`awn’s own room and slept on his bed. Then, after this, he killed one of their people and feared that they would retaliate by killing him in return. Thus, he fled from them and remained an outlaw during this entire time. Then, after all of this, His Lord sent him to them as a warner calling them to worship Allah alone, without associating partners with Him.

     

    This is why he said,

     

    (O my Lord! Open for me my chest, and ease my task for me.) This means, “I cannot perform this task if You do not help me, aid me and support me.”

    (And loosen the knot from my tongue, that they understand my speech.) This is referring to the lisp that he had. This lisp was a result of an incident when he was presented a date and a hot coal stone and he placed the coal on his tongue instead of the date.

    However, he did not ask Allah to remove this affliction all together. Rather, he asked for removal of his stammering so the people would understand what he intended in his speech. He was only asking for what was necessary to deliver his message. If he had asked for the removal of his affliction in its entirety, it would have been cured for him. However, the Prophets do not ask for any more than what is required. Therefore, he was left with the remnants of this accident that took place with his tongue.

    Allah informed of what Fir`awn said concerning him,

    (Am I not better than this one who is despicable and can scarcely express himself clearly)﴿43:52﴾ This means that he is not eloquent in speech.

     

    When Musa Alaihissalaam made this supplication,(36. (Allah) said: “You are granted your request, O Musa!”)

  • Dua to have Pious, Obedient Children

    dua-fora-baby

    ” My Lord, grant me from Yourself a good (pure) offspring. Indeed, You are the All-Hearer of invocation.”

    رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِن لَّدُنكَ ذُرِّيَّةً طَيِّبَةً ۖ إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ الدُّعَاءِ

    Rabbi hab lee min ladunka thurriyyatan tayyibatan innaka samee’ud-du’aa

    Surah Al-Imran,verse 38

    This is the supplication of Prophet Zakariyya Alaihissalaam.

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

    It can be recited

    • To have a baby
    • To make your children obedient,pious and righteous
    • To have a safe pregnancy and delivery

     

    Allah made Maryam Alaihissalaam grow in a good manner and put her under the care of Zakariyya Alaihissalaam. Every time he entered the Mihrab to visit her, he found her supplied with sustenance. He said: “O Maryam! From where have you gotten this” She said, “This is from Allah.” Verily, Allah provides sustenance to whom He wills, without limit.

    Allah says in the Holy Quran:-

    38 “At that time Zakariyya invoked his Lord, saying: “O my Lord! Grant me from You, a good offspring. You are indeed the All-Hearer of invocation.”) (39. Then the angels called him, while he was standing in prayer in the Mihrab, (saying): “Allah gives you glad tidings of Yahya, believing in the Word from Allah, and Sayyidan, and Hasuran, a Prophet, from among the righteous.”) (40. He said: “O my Lord! How can I have a son when I am very old, and my wife is barren” (Allah) said: “Thus Allah does what He wills.”

     

    The Supplication of Zakariyya Alaihissalaam and the good news of Yahya Alaihissalaam ‘s Birth:

    When Zakariyya Alaihissalaam saw that Allah provided sustenance for Maryam Alaihissalaam by giving her the fruits of winter in summer and the fruits of summer in winter, he was eager to have a child of his own. By then, Zakariyya Alaihissalaam had become an old man, his bones feeble and his head full of gray hair. His wife was an old women who was barren. Yet, he supplicated to Allah and called Him in secret,

    “O my Lord! Grant me from Ladunka,” from You,

    “A good offspring” meaning, a righteous offspring,

    “You are indeed the All-Hearer of invocation.”

     

    “Grant me from You, a good offspring”, meaning, grant me a son who will have offspring, and Allah knows best.

     

    Allah said,

    “Then the angels called him, while he was standing in prayer in the Mihrab,” meaning, the angels spoke to him directly while he was secluded, standing in prayer at his place of worship.

    Here Allah tells us about the good news that the angels delivered to Zakariyya Alaihissalaam.

    “Allah gives you glad tidings of Yahya,” of a child from your offspring, his name is Yahya.

    Qatadah and other scholars said that he was called Yahya (literally, `he lives’) because Allah filled his life with faith.

    Allah’s statement,

    “A Prophet, from among the righteous” delivers more good news of sending Yahya Alaihissalaam as Prophet after the good news that he will be born. This good news was even better than the news of Yahya Alaihissalaam ‘s birth.

    In a similar statement, Allah said to the mother of Musa Alaihissalaam,

    ”Verily, We shall bring him back to you, and shall make him one of the Messengers.”(28:7)

    When Zakariyya Alaihissalaam heard the good news, he started contemplating about having children at his age. He said,

    “O my Lord! How can I have a son when I am very old, and my wife is barren”

     

    (He) said…) meaning the angel said,

     

    “Thus Allah does what He wills.” meaning, this is Allah’s matter, He is so Mighty that nothing escapes His power, nor is anything beyond His ability.

    Allah says in the Holy Quran:-

    (114. Then High above all be Allah, the True King. And be not in haste with the Qur’an before its revelation is completed to you, and say: “My Lord! Increase me in knowledge.”)

    This is a command to the Prophet Sallal laahoo alaihi wassallam to listen quietly to the Qur’an when it is revealed without making haste.

    `Then, when the angel (Jibril) completes reciting to you, you recite it after him.’

    (and say: “My Lord! Increase me in knowledge.”) meaning, “Give me more knowledge from You.” Ibn `Uyaynah said, “The Prophet did not cease increasing (in knowledge) until Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, took him (i.e. he died).”

    At-tawwaabuالتَّوَّابُ the One Who accepts repentance,
    Ar-raheem الرَّحِيمُthe Most Merciful

    Allah said that Ibrahim Alaihissalaam and Isma`il Alaihissalaam supplicated to Him,

    “Our Lord! And make us submissive unto You and of our offspring a nation submissive unto You, and show us our Manasik, and accept our repentance. Truly, You are the One Who accepts repentance, the Most Merciful.”

    Ibn Jarir said, “They meant by their supplication, `Make us submit to Your command and obedience and not associate anyone with You in obedience or worship.”

    Also, `Ikrimah commented on the Ayah,

    “Our Lord! And make us submissive unto You”

    “Allah said, `I shall do that.”’

    “And of our offspring a nation submissive unto You”

    Allah said, `I shall do that.’”

    This supplication by Ibrahim Alaihissalaam and Isma`il Alaihissalaam is similar to what Allah informed us of about His believing servants,

    “And those who say: `Our Lord! Bestow on us from our wives and our offspring the comfort of our eyes, and make us leaders of the Muttaqin” (25:74).

    This type of supplication is allowed, because loving to have offspring who worship Allah alone without partners is a sign of complete love of Allah. This is why when Allah said to Ibrahim Alaihissalaam ,

    “Verily, I am going to make you an Imam (a leader) for mankind (to follow you)”

    Ibrahim Alaihissalaam said,

    “And of my offspring (to make leaders).”

    Allah said, “My covenant (prophethood) includes not the Zalimin (polytheists and wrongdoers)” which is explained by,

    “And keep me and my sons away from worshipping idols”

    Muslim narrated in his Sahih that Abu Hurayrah Radi Allahu anhu said that the Messenger of Allah Sallal laahoo alaihi wassallam said,

    “When the son of Adam dies, his deeds end except for three deeds: an ongoing charity, a knowledge that is being benefited from and a righteous son who supplicates (to Allah) for him.”

    The Meaning of Manasik

             

    Sa`id bin Mansur said that `Attab bin Bashir informed us from Khasif, from Mujahid who said, “The Prophet Ibrahim Alaihissalaam supplicated,

    “and show us our Manasik”

    Jibril then came down, took him to the House and said, `Raise its foundations.’

    Ibrahim Alaihissalaam raised the House’s foundations and completed the building. Jibril held Ibrahim Alaihissalaam’s hand, led him to As-Safa and said, `This is among the rituals of Allah.’ He then took him to Al-Marwah and said, `And this is among the rituals of Allah.’ He then took him to Mina until when they reached the `Aqabah, they found Iblis standing next to a tree. Jibril said, `Say Takbir (Allah is the Great) and throw (pebbles) at him.’ Ibrahim Alaihissalaam said the Takbir and threw (pebbles at) Iblis.

    Iblis moved to the middle Jamrah, and when Jibril and Ibrahim Alaihissalaam passed by him, Jibril said to Ibrahim Alaihissalaam, `Say Takbir and throw at him.’ Ibrahim Alaihissalaam threw at him and said Takbir. The devious Iblis sought to add some evil acts to the rituals of Hajj, but he was unable to succeed. Jibril took Ibrahim Alaihissalaam’s hand and led him to Al-Mash`ar Al-Haram and `Arafat and said to him, `Have you `Arafta (known, learned) what I showed you’ thrice. Ibrahim Alaihissalaam

    said, `Yes I did.”’ Similar statements were reported from Abu Mijlaz and Qatadah.

    Allah says in the Holy Quran:-

    ”(4. Indeed there has been an excellent example for you in Ibrahim and those with him, when they said to their people: “Verily, we are free from you and whatever you worship besides Allah, we have rejected you, and there has started between us and you, hostility and hatred forever until you believe in Allah alone,” — except the saying of Ibrahim to his father: “Verily, I will ask forgiveness for you, but I have no power to do anything for you before Allah.” “Our Lord! In You we put our trust, and to You we turn in repentance, and to You is the final Return.”)

    Allah mentions the good example of Ibrahim Alaihissalaam and his followers, when they disowned their disbelieving people.

    They said

    (Our Lord! In You we put our trust, and to You we turn in repentance, and to You is the final Return.) meaning, `we trust in You for all matters, we surrender all of our affairs to You, and to You is the final Return in the Hereafter,’
