Supplication
Is Congregational Du`a Bid`ah?
Offering Du`a with the congregation is: 1) Either proven in the Sunnah, such as the Du`a of Istisqa’ and Al-Qunut, which is undoubtedly prescribed. 2) Or it is done in situations with no proof in the Sunnah, such as: the five daily prayers, immediately after burying the deceased, in `Arafah, and so on. In this case, there is nothing wrong with it if it is done occasionally, but if it is done regularly, then it is a Bid`ah (innovation).138,113He wants to pray to Allah to let him live until he witnesses the descent of ‘Eesa (peace be upon him) at the end of time
9,296Can You Ask the Prophet for Help?
Calling upon Prophet Muhammad and asking of him, besides Allah, and seeking his help is a major Shirk (polytheism) that puts one beyond the pale of Islam.68,743Du`a During `Umrah
At the Miqat of `Umrah, it is Sunnah to recite Tasbih, Tahlil, and Takbir. On the way to Makkah, it is Sunnah to recite the Talbiyah a great deal. During Tawaf, every time you come in line with the Black Stone in each circuit, say, “Allahu akbar.” Before climbing up As-Safa and when atop it, you should recite: “Verily, As-Safa and Al-Marwah are of the Symbols of Allah” then say: ‘I begin with that with which Allah began’. When climbing Al-Marwah, you should do the same as you did when climbing As-Safa, without reciting the verse before starting to climb.156,009What is the ruling on praying to increase one’s height? And is it permissible to change the jawline through exercise?
2,561Can We Say ‘Labbayk Ya Rasul Allah’?
With regard to someone saying `Labbayk ya Rasul Allah’ during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah, there is no confusion about this being permissible. But after his death, no one should say, `Labbayk ya Rasul Allah.’ Rather you should say: ‘Labbayk Allahumma labbayk.’62,665Impact of prayer for forgiveness (istighfar) on receiving a response to supplication (du‘a’)
2,663Is There a Specific Du`a for Each Day and Night of Ramadan?
Singling out the first third of Ramadan to make Du`a for mercy, the second third to make Du`a for forgiveness and the last third to make Du`a for ransom from Hell is an innovation for which there is no basis in Islamic teachings. There is also no justification for singling out these times for these Du`as, because all the days of Ramadan are equal in that regard. Rather the Muslim may make Du`a for whatever he wants of goodness in this world and the hereafter throughout Ramadan; that includes asking Allah for mercy, forgiveness, ransom from the Fire and admission to Paradise.103,152Du`a for Wealth and Paying off Debts
1- You can say this Du`a to pay off our debts: “Allahumma ikfini bi halalika `an haramika wa aghnini bi fadlika `amman siwaka.” 2- One of the most beneficial means of attaining provision is praying a great deal for forgiveness.24,327How to Increase Provision
How to increase provision (Rizq) in Islam: 1. Istighfar (praying for forgiveness) 2. Upholding ties of kinship 3. Giving a great deal of charity 4. Being mindful of Allah and fearing Him 5. Performing Hajj and `Umrah often, following one with the other 6. Du`a (supplication)128,198
