  • Dua for travelling

    dua12q

    Read this dua when you board a vehicle [a ship or a plane]

    ” In the name of Allah is its course and its anchorage. Indeed, my Lord is certainly Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”

    بِسْمِ اللَّهِ مَجْر۪ىٰهَا وَمُرْسَىٰهَآ  ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّي لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

    Bismillaahi majraahaa wamursaahaa inna rabbee laghafoorun raheem

    Surah Hud, verse 41

    This is the prayer of Prophet Nuh Alaihissalaam.

    Allah, the Exalted, informs about Prophet Nuh Alaihissalaam. He was the first Messenger whom Allah sent to the people of the earth who were polytheists involved in worshiping idols.

    Allah, the Exalted, sent revelation to Nuh Alaihissalaam when his people hastened the vengeance and punishment of Allah upon themselves. Then, Nuh Alaihissalaam supplicated against them.

    At this point Allah revealed to him,

    (None of your people will believe except those who have believed already.) Therefore, do not grieve over them and do not be concerned with their affair.

    (And construct the ship.)

    (and address Me not on behalf of those who did wrong; they are surely to be drowned.)

    Muhammad bin Ishaq mentioned from the Tawrah, “Allah commanded Nuh Alaihissalaam to make it (the ship) from Indian oak wood. Then He commanded him to make its length eighty cubits and its width fifty cubits. Allah then commanded him to coat its interior and exterior with tar and to make it with a slanted bow to part the water (as it sailed). Its height was thirty cubits into the sky. It had three levels and each level was ten cubits high. The lowest level was for the animals, both tame and wild, the second level was for the human beings and the highest level was for the birds. Its door was in the center of it and it had a cover on top of it that covered the entire ship.

    At this point, Allah commanded Nuh Alaihissalaam to select one pair from every kind of creature possessing a soul, and load them on the ship. Some said that this included other creatures as well, such as pairs of plants, male and female. It has also been said that the first of the birds to enter the ship was the parrot, and the last of the animals to enter was the donkey.

    When the command of Allah came, the rain was continuous and there was a severe storm which did not slacken or subside

    (41. And he said: “Embark therein: in the Name of Allah will be its (moving) course and its (resting) anchorage. Surely, my Lord is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”)

    This means that its sailing upon the surface of the water, the end of its journeying and its anchoring, would all be with the Name of Allah.

    Allah, the Exalted, said,

    (And when you have embarked on the ship, you and whoever is with you, then say: “All the praises and thanks are to Allah, Who has saved us from the people who are wrongdoers. And say: “My Lord! Cause me to land at a blessed landing place, for You are the Best of those who bring to land.”)﴿23:28-29﴾ For this reason, it is preferred to mention the Name of Allah (Bismillah) at the beginning of all affairs. The Name of Allah should be mentioned when boarding a ship, or when mounting an animal.

    This is as Allah, the Exalted, says,

    (And Who has created all the pairs and has appointed for you ships and cattle on which you ride, in order that you may mount on their backs.)﴿43:12-13﴾ This practice (mentioning Allah’s Name) has been encouraged in the Sunnah and is considered a preferred act.

    (Surely, my Lord is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.) Such statement is suitable while mentioning (His) vengeance upon the disbelievers by drowning all of them. Therefore, Nuh Alaihissalaam mentions that His Lord is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.

    Here Allah tells us about His servant and Messenger Lut, peace be upon him. He was Lut bin Haran bin Azar, the nephew of Ibrahim Al-Khalil, upon him be peace. Allah sent him to a mighty nation during the lifetime of Ibrahim, peace be upon them both. They lived in Sadum (Sodom) and its environs, where Allah destroyed them and turned the area into a putrid, stinking lake, which is well-known in the land of Al-Ghur the Jordan Valley, bordering the mountains of Jerusalem, between the mountains and the land of Al-Karak and Ash-Shawbak.

    He called them to Allah, to worship Him alone with no partner or associate, and to obey the Messenger whom Allah sent to them. He forbade from disobeying Allah and committing the sin that they had invented which was unknown on earth before their time; intercourse with males instead of with females.

    Their response was only to say:

    (167. They said: “If you cease not, O Lut, verily, you will be one of those who are driven out!”)

    (168. He said: “I am indeed of those who disapprove with severe anger and fury your behavior.”)

    Then he prayed to Allah against them and said:

    (169. “My Lord! Save me and my family from what they do.”)

    Allah says: (170. So, We saved him and his family, all,) (171. Except an old woman among those who remained behind.)

    This was his wife, who was a bad old woman. She stayed behind and was destroyed with whoever else was left. This is similar to what Allah says about them in Surat Al-A`raf and Surah Hud, and in Surat Al-Hijr, where Allah commanded him to take his family at night, except for his wife, and not to turn around when they heard the Sayhah as it came upon his people. So they patiently obeyed the command of Allah and persevered, and Allah sent upon the people a punishment which struck them all, and rained upon them stones of baked clay, piled up.

     

  • Dua for Success and protection from your Enemies and Evil people

    Here is a dua for Success and protection from your enemies,haters and evil peopledua17q

    “Our Lord, indeed we fear that he will hasten [punishment] against us or that he will transgress.”

    رَبَّنَا إِنَّنَا نَخَافُ أَن يَفْرُطَ عَلَيْنَا أَوْ أَن يَطْغَىٰ

    Rabbanaa innanaa nakhaafu an yafruta ‘alaynaa aw an yatghaa

    Surah Ta-ha ,verse 45

    This is the prayer of Prophet Musa Alaihissalaam.

    It can be recited for:-

    Listen to the recitation of this dua.

     

    Musa Alaihissalaam had lived among the people of Madyan, avoiding Fir`awn and his chiefs. He worked as a shepherd for his father-in-law until the appointed time for his work ended. Then he met the decree of Allah and His predetermined will, without him having any set appointment. This entire situation was under the control of Allah, Blessed be He, the Most High.

     

    Then, Allah said to Musa Alaihissalaam Alaiihssalaam and his brother,

    (43. Go both of you to Fir`awn, verily, he has transgressed.) (44. And speak to him mildly, perhaps he may accept admonition or fear (Allah).)

     

    (45. Both of them said: “Our Lord! Verily, we fear lest he should hasten to punish us or lest he should transgress.”)

    Allah, the Exalted, informs that Musa Alaihissalaam and Harun pleaded to Allah, expressing their grievance to him:

     

    They meant that Fir`awn might seize them unexpectedly with a punishment, or transgress against them by tormenting them, when they actually did not deserve it.

     

    Ad-Dahhak reported from Ibn `Abbas that he said that transgress here means, “To exceed the bounds.”

     

     

    (He (Allah) said: “Fear not, verily, I am with you both, hearing and seeing.”) meaning; “Do not fear him (Fir`awn), for verily, I am with you and I hear your speech and his speech as well. I see your place and I see his place as well. Nothing is hidden from Me of your affair. Know that his forehead is in My Hand, and he does not speak, breathe, or use any force, except by My leave and after My command. I am with you by My protection, My help and My support.”

    Allah says in the Holy Quran:-

    (83. And (remember) Ayyub, when he cried to his Lord: “Verily, distress has seized me, and You are the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy.”) (84. So We answered his call, and We removed the distress that was on him, and We restored his family to him, and the like thereof along with them as a mercy from Ourselves and a Reminder for all those who worship Us.)

     

    Allah tells us about Ayyub Alaihissalaam and the trials that struck him      

    He had plenty of livestock, cattle and crops, many children and beautiful houses, and he was tested in these things, losing every thing he had. Then he was tested with regard to his body, and he was left alone on the edge of the city and there was no one who treated him with compassion apart from his wife, who took care of him. It was said that it reached the stage where she was in need, so she started to serve people (to earn money) for his sake.

    The Prophet (Sallal laahoo alaihi wassallam) said:

    (The people who are tested the most severely are the Prophets, then the righteous, then the next best and the next best).

    According to another Hadith:

    (A man will be tested according to his level of religious commitment; the stronger his religious commitment, the more severe will be his test.)

    The Prophet of Allah, Ayyub, upon him be peace, had the utmost patience, and he is the best example of that. Yazid bin Maysarah said: “When Allah tested Ayyub, upon him be peace, with the loss of his family, wealth and children, and he had nothing left, he started to focus upon the remembrance of Allah, and he said: `I praise You, the Lord of lords, Who bestowed His kindness upon me and gave me wealth and children, and there was no corner of my heart that was not filled with attachment to these worldly things, then You took all of that away from me and You emptied my heart, and there is nothing to stand between me and You. If my enemy Iblis knew of this, he would be jealous of me. ‘ When Iblis heard of this, he became upset.

    And Ayyub, upon him be peace, said: `O Lord, You gave me wealth and children, and there was no one standing at my door complaining of some wrong I had done to him. You know that. I used to have a bed prepared for me, but I forsook it and said to myself: You were not created to lie on a comfortable bed. I only forsook that for Your sake.”’ This was recorded by Ibn Abi Hatim.

    Ibn Abi Hatim recorded from Abu Hurayrah (Radi Allahu anhu) that the Prophet (Sallal laahoo alaihi wassallam) said:

    (When Allah healed Ayyub Alaihissalaam, He sent upon him a shower of golden locusts, and he started to pick them up and gather them in his garment. It was said to him, “O Ayyub, have you not had enough” He said, “O Lord, who can ever have enough of Your mercy)

    Mujahid said: “It was said to him, `O Ayyub, your family will be with you in Paradise; if you want, We will bring them back to you, or if you want, We will leave them for you in Paradise and will compensate you with others like them.’ He said, `No, leave them for me in Paradise.’ So they were left for him in Paradise, and he was compensated with others like them in this world.”

    Allah did that to him as a mercy from Allah towards him and made him an example lest those who are beset by trials think that Allah does that to them because He do not care for them, so that they may take him as an example of patience in accepting the decrees of Allah and bearing the trials with which He tests His servants as He wills.’ And Allah has the utmost wisdom with regard to that.

    Listen to the recitation of this dua

    Allah says in the Holy Quran:-

    (190. Verily, in the creation of the heavens and the Earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there are indeed signs for men of understanding.) (191. Those who remember Allah standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and think deeply about the creation of the heavens and the earth, (saying): “Our Lord! You have not created this without purpose for You never break (Your) Promise.”) (190-194)

    Here Allah mntions the proofs of Tawhid for people of understanding, their characteristics, speech, and supplications.

    Allah said,

    (Verily, in the creation of the heavens and the Earth,) ﴿3:190﴾, referring to the sky in its height and spaciousness, the earth in its expanse and density, the tremendous features they have of rotating planets, seas, mountains, deserts, trees, plants, fruits, animals, metals and various beneficial colors, scents, tastes and elements.

    (And in the alternation of night and day), as one follows and takes from the length of the other. For instance, at times one of them becomes longer than the other, shorter than the other at times and equal to the other at other times, and the same is repeated again and again, and all this occurs by the decision of the Almighty, Most Wise.

    This is why Allah said,

    (there are indeed signs for men of understanding), referring to the intelligent and sound minds that contemplate about the true reality of things, unlike the deaf and mute who do not have sound comprehension.

    Allah then describes and praises His believing servants,

    (Those who remember Allah standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and think deeply about the creation of the heavens and the earth), supplicating;

    (“Our Lord! You have not created this without purpose,”)

    You did not create all this in jest and play. Rather, You created it in truth, so that You recompense those who do evil in kind, and reward those who do righteous deeds with what is better.

    The faithful believers praise Allah and deny that He does anything in jest and without purpose, saying,

    (“glory to You,”), for You would never create anything without purpose,

    (“Give us salvation from the torment of the Fire.”), meaning, “O You Who created the creation in truth and justice, Who is far from any shortcomings, or doing things without purpose or with jest, save us from the torment of the Fire with Your power and strength. Direct us to perform the deeds that make You pleased with us. Guide us to righteous work from which You admit us into the delightful Paradise, and save us from Your painful torment.”

    When Musa Alaihissalaam reached Madyan and went to drink from its water, for it had a well where shepherds used to water their flocks,he found there a group of men watering, and besides them he found two women who were keeping back. They were stopping their sheep from drinking with the sheep of those shepherds, lest some harm come to them.

    When Musa Alaihissalaam , peace be upon him, saw them, he felt sorry for them and took pity on them.

    (He said: “What is the matter with you”) meaning, `why do you not water your flocks with these people’

    They said: “We cannot water (our flocks) until the shepherds take (their flocks). meaning, `we cannot water our flocks until they finish.’

    (And our father is a very old man.) means, `this is what has driven us to what you see.’

    (24. So he watered (their flocks) for them, then he turned back to shade, and said: “My Lord! Truly, I am in need of whatever good that You bestow on me!”)

     

     

    Ibn `Abbas, Ibn Mas`ud and As-Suddi said: “He sat beneath a tree.” `

     

    Ata’ bin As-Sa’ib said: When Musa Alaihissalaam said this dua,the women heard him.

    (25. Then there came to him one of them, walking shyly. She said: “Verily, my father calls you that he may reward you for having watered (our flocks) for us.” So when he came to him and narrated the story, he said: “Fear you not. You have escaped from the people who are wrongdoers.”) (26. And said one of them (the two women): “O my father! Hire him! Verily, the best of men for you to hire is the strong, the trustworthy.”)

    One of the two daughters of the man said this, and it was said that she was the one who had walked behind Musa Alaihissalaam , peace be upon him.

    Her father said to her, `What do you know about that’ She said to him, `He lifted a rock which could only be lifted by ten men, and when I came back with him, I walked ahead of him, but he said to me, walk behind me, and if I get confused about the route, throw a pebble so that I will know which way to go.”’ `Abdullah (Ibn Mas`ud) said, “The people who had the most discernment were three: Abu Bakr’s intuition about `Umar; the companion of Yusuf Alaihissalaam when he said, `Make his stay comfortable’; and the companion of Musa Alaihissalaam , when she said:

     

    (O my father! Hire him! Verily, the best of men for you to hire is the strong, the trustworthy.).”

     

     

    (27. He said: “I intend to wed one of these two daughters of mine to you, on condition that you serve me for eight years; but if you complete ten years, it will be (a favor) from you. But I intend not to place you under a difficulty. If Allah wills, you will find me one of the righteous.”) (28. He (Musa Alaihissalaam ) said: “That (is settled) between me and you: whichever of the two terms I fulfill, there will be no injustice to me, and Allah is Surety over what we say.”)

    Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that `Ali bin Rabah Al-Lakhmi said, “I heard `Utbah bin An-Nadar As-Sulami, the Companion of the Messenger of Allah narrating that the Messenger of Allah said:

     

    (Musa Alaihissalaam , peace be upon him, hired himself out for the purpose of keeping chaste and to feed himself.)

    This is the invocation of Yusuf Alaihissalaam, the truthful one, to his Lord the Exalted and Most Honored. He invoked Allah after His favor was complete on him by being reunited with his parents and brothers, after He had bestowed on him prophethood and kingship. He begged his Lord, the Exalted and Ever High, that as He has perfected His bounty on him in this life, to continue it until the Hereafter. He begged Him that, when he dies, he dies as a Muslim, as Ad-Dahhak said, and to join him with the ranks of the righteous, with his brethren the Prophets and Messengers, may Allah’s peace and blessings be on them all. It is possible that Yusuf, peace be upon him, said this supplication while dying.

    In the Two Sahihs it is recorded that `A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said that while dying, the Messenger of Allah was raising his finger and said – thrice,

    (O Allah to Ar-Rafiq Al-A`la ﴿the uppermost, highest company in heaven﴾.)

    It is also possible that long before he died, Yusuf Alaihissalaam begged Allah to die as a Muslim and be joined with the ranks of the righteous.

    Listen to the recitation of this dua.

    Allah says in the Holy Quran.

    (11. And Allah has set forth an example for those who believe: the wife of Fir`awn, when she said: “My Lord! Build for me a home with You in Paradise, and save me from Fir`awn and his work, and save me from the people who are wrongdoers.)




    Qatadah said, “Fir`awn was the most tyrannical among the people of the earth and the most disbelieving. By Allah! His wife was not affected by her husband’s disbelief, because she obeyed her Lord. Therefore, let it be known that Allah is the Just Judge Who will not punish anyone except for their own sins.” Ibn Jarir recorded that Sulayman said, “The wife of Fir`awn was tortured under the sun and when Fir`awn would finish the torture session, the angels would shade her with their wings. She was shown her house in Paradise.” Ibn Jarir said that Al-Qasim bin Abi Bazzah said, “Fir`awn’s wife used to ask, `Who prevailed’ When she was told, `Musa and Harun prevailed’, she said, `I believe in the Lord of Musa and Harun.’ Fir`awn sent his aides to her and said to them, `Find the biggest stone. If she insists on keeping her faith, throw the stone on her, otherwise she is my wife. When they came to her, she looked up to the sky and was able to see her house in Paradise. She persisted on the faith and her soul was then captured. The stone was thrown on her lifeless body.”

    This is the meaning of her statement,

    (My Lord! Build for me a home with You in Paradise, and save me from Fir`awn and his work,) means, `deliver me from him, because I am innocent of his actions.

    Her name was Asiyah bint Muzahim, may Allah be pleased with her.

    Imam Ahmad recorded that Ibn `Abbas said, “The Messenger of Allah drew four lines on the ground and said,

    (Do you know what these lines represent) They said, `Allah and His Messenger know best.’ He said,

    (The best among the women of Paradise are Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, Fatimah bint Muhammad, Maryam bint `Imran and Asiyah bint Muzahim, wife of Fir`awn.)
    It is confirmed in the Two Sahihs from Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari that the Messenger of Allah said,

    (Many men have reached the level of perfection, but none among women have reached this level except Asiyah — Fir`awn’s wife, Maryam–the daughter of `Imran, and Khadijah–the daughter of Khuwaylid. And no doubt, the superiority of `A’ishah to other women is like the superiority of Tharid to other meals.)

    Allah says in the Holy Quran:-

    (128. Verily, there has come unto you a Messenger from among yourselves. It grieves him that you should receive any injury or difficulty. He is eager for you; for the believers ﴿he is﴾ full of pity, kind, and merciful.) (129. But if they turn away, say: “Allah is sufficient for me. There is no God but He, in Him I put my trust and He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne.”)

     

    Allah the Exalted commanded His Messenger in this honorable Ayah that if they turn away, from the glorious, pure, perfect and encompassing Law that you — O Muhammad — brought them,

     

    (then say: “Allah is sufficient for me. There is no God but He,)

     

    Similarly, Allah said,

     

    ((He alone is) the Lord of the east and the west; there is no God but He. So take Him alone as a guardian.) ﴿73:9

     

    (and He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne) ﴿9:129﴾. He is the King and Creator of all things, and He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne (`Arsh), which is above all creation; all that is in and between the heavens and earths is under the Throne (`Arsh) and subservient to Allah’s power. His knowledge encompasses all things, and His decision will certainly come to pass over all matters. He is the guardian of all things. Imam Ahmad recorded that Ibn `Abbas said that Ubayy bin Ka`b said, “The last Ayah revealed from the Qur’an was this Ayah.

    Allah says in the Holy Quran:-

    (23. And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor reprimand them but address them in terms of honor.) (24. And lower unto them the wing of submission and humility through mercy, and say: “My Lord! Bestow on them Your mercy as they did bring me up when I was young.”)

     

    Allah commands us to worship Him alone, with no partner or associate.The idea of worshipping Allah is connected to the idea of honoring one’s parents.

    Here He commands good treatment of parents, as He says elsewhere:

     

    (give thanks to Me and to your parents. Unto Me is the final destination) ﴿31:14﴾

     

     

    Do not let them hear anything offensive from you, not even say “Uff!” which is the mildest word of disrespect,

     

    `Ata’ bin Rabah said that it meant, “Do not raise your hand against them.” When Allah forbids speaking and behaving in an obnoxious manner, He commands speaking and behaving in a good manner, so He tells to speak gently, kindly, politely, and with respect and appreciation.

     

     

    (and say: “My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was young.”) means, say this when they grow old and when they die. Ibn `Abbas said: ”

     

    But then Allah revealed:

     

    (It is not (proper) for the Prophet and those who believe to ask Allah’s forgiveness for the idolators. ..)” ﴿9:13﴾ There are many Hadiths which speak about honoring one’s parents, such as the Hadith narrated through a number of chains of narration from Anas and others, which states that the Prophet climbed up on the Minbar, and then said, ((Amin, Amin, Amin.)) It was said, “O Messenger of Allah, why did you say Amin” He said:

     

    (Jibril came to me and said, “O Muhammad, he is doomed who hears you mentioned and does not say Salaam upon you.” He said, “Say Amin,” so I said Amin. Then he said, “He is doomed who sees the month of Ramadan come and go, and he has not been forgiven.” He said, “Say Amin,” so I said Amin. Then he said, “He is doomed who grows up and both his parents or one of them are still alive, and they do not cause him to enter Paradise.” He said, “Say Amin,” so I said Amin.)

     

    Another Hadith Imam Ahmad reported from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said:

     

    (He is doomed, he is doomed, he is doomed, the man whose parents, one or both of them, reach old age while he is alive and he does not enter Paradise.) This version is Sahih although no one recorded it other than Muslim.

     

    Another Hadith

     

    Imam Ahmad recorded Mu`awiyah bin Jahimah As-Salami saying that Jahimah came to the Prophet and said: “O Messenger of Allah, I want to go out to fight and I have come to seek your advice.” He said,

     

    (Do you have a mother) He said, “Yes.” The Prophet said,

     

    (Then stay with her, for Paradise is at her feet.) Similar incidents were also recorded by others. This was recorded by An-Nasa’i and Ibn Majah.

     

    Another Hadith          

    Imam Ahmad recorded that Al-Miqdam bin Ma`dikarib said that the Prophet said:

     

    (Allah enjoins you concerning your fathers, Allah enjoins you concerning your mothers, Allah enjoins you concerning your mothers, Allah enjoins you concerning your mothers, Allah enjoins you concerning your close relatives then the next in closeness.) This was recorded by Ibn Majah from the Hadith of `Abdullah bin `Ayyash.

     

    Another Hadith

    Ahmad recorded that a man from Banu Yarbu` said: “I came to the Prophet while he was talking to the people, and I heard him saying,

     

    (The hand of the one who gives is superior. (Give to) your mother and your father, your sister and your brother, then the closest and next closest.)”
