Dua is worship

"We call upon Allah in every distress, then forget Him when the distress is removed...

How can we hope for the answer to our prayers, when we have blocked its path with sins..."

«يوم الجمعة يوم عبادة، وهو في الأيام كشهر رمضان في الشهور، وساعة الإجابة فيه كليلة القدر في رمضان»
[ابن القيم - زاد المعاد "٣٩٨/١"]

"Friday is the day of worship, its comparison to others days like the comparison of the month of Ramadan to other months and the hour in it is like the Night of Decree in Ramadan."

(Zaad Al-Maad: 1/398)

لا تنسو قراءة الكهف فهي نور بين الجمعتين،
والصلاة على النبي ﷺ.
اللهم صل وسلم على نبينا محمد.

do not forget to recite surat ul khaf for it is the light between the two fridays, and the supplications for the prophet ﷺ.

The hours of acceptance of Dua (ساعة الاستجابة) between Asr & Maghrib
Imām Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“A time when Du’ās will be accepted is during the last hour of ‘Asr on Jumu’ah.”
(زاد المعاد ١/١٠٤)

✨Please include the whole ummah in your precious Duas (Specially the oppressed muslims)

قال ابن الجوزي - رحمه الله تعالى :
Ibn Qayyim al-Jawzi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

كونُوا كَمَا أمركم الله يكن لكم كَمَا وَعدكُم ، أجيبوا الله إذا دعَاكُمْ يجبكم إذا دعوتموه ، أعطوا الله ما طلبه من طاعته يعطكم من رحمته ما طلبتموه

"Be as Allah has commanded you, and He will be as He has promised you. Respond to Allah when He calls you, and He will respond to you when you call upon Him. Give Allah what He has asked of you in terms of obedience, and He will grant you from His mercy what you have asked of Him."

التذكرة في الوعظ (۱۹/۱) )

Ibn Rajab said:

"If this world is not a permanent abode nor a homeland for the believer, then the believer’s state in this world should be one of two:

Either he should be like a stranger residing in a foreign land, his main concern being to gather provisions for his return to his homeland,

Or he should be like a traveler who is not settled at all, but whose day and night are spent journeying toward his final destination.

For this reason, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم advised Ibn Umar to adopt one of these two states in this world."

The most successful of Allah's servants are those who prepare well for the Day of Return.

Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

"Indeed, death is a source of fear. So, when you see a funeral procession, stand up."

"Indeed, death is a source of fear," meaning that death brings about fear, "So when you see a funeral procession, stand up," meaning stand up as a sign of reverence for the reality of death and its associated fears and horrors.

The funeral procession serves as a reminder of this, and the standing is not meant to honor the deceased but to acknowledge the gravity of death...

من لم يؤمن بالقدر تغشاه الكَدَر.

"Whoever does not believe in fate will be overwhelmed with hardship."

- الشيخ صالح العصيمي

« وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَى. فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَى »
"But as for those who feared the position of their Lord and restrained the soul from desire, indeed, Paradise will be their refuge."

[النازعات:40-41]

"Increase in seeking forgiveness, for you do not know when mercy will descend." ( Hassan Al Basari )

﴿ وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ مُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ ﴾
"And Allah would not punish them while they seek forgiveness.”

« فأخبر أنه لا يعذب مستغفرًا، لأن الاستغفار يمحو الذنب الذي هو سبب العذاب، فيندفع العذاب »
"He (Ibn Taymiyyah) states that Allah does not punish those who are seeking forgiveness, because seeking forgiveness removes the sin, which is the cause of punishment, and thus the punishment is averted."

• ابن تيمية | مجموع الفتاوى (١٦٣/٨)

"وَمَن يُؤْتَ الْحِكْمَةَ فَقَدْ أُوتِيَ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا ۗ وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّا أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ.."

Never give up on making du’aa . Every du’aa has a purpose: it may be answered as we wish, delayed for a better time, or used to protect us from harm. Trust in Allāh’s wisdom and keep praying.

If you're wondering, 'Why is my Rabb delaying?'

Remember, He isn’t late; His timing is perfect. Whatever you’re waiting for – blessings, healing, or guidance – it’s coming.
Stay patient and keep your focus on Allah.
His timing is always better than what we think is ‘good timing.’
With Allāh as your guide, there’s no need to worry about the path ahead.

«إن البيت الذى يتلى فيه القرآن
اتسع بأهله وكثر خيره وحضرته الملائكة
وخرجت منه الشياطين، وإن البيت الذي
لا يتلى فيه كتاب الله عز وجل ضاق بأهله
وقل خيره وخرجت منه الملائكة وحضرته
الشياطين»
The house where the Qur’an is recited expands for its inhabitants, its goodness increases, the angels attend, and the devils leave. But the house where the Book of Allah is not recited becomes narrow for its inhabitants, its goodness diminishes, the angels depart, and the devils attend.
