These etiquettes are narrated in the Hadith. For reasons of brevity, only the following summary and reference of each Hadith is mentioned instead of the entire Hadith.


* To abstain from haraam food, clothing and earnings. (Muslim : Tirmidhi)

* To make Duaa with sincerity. In other words, one should firmly believe that nobody but Allah Ta'aala will fulfill his objectives. (Haakim)

* One should perform a good deed prior to making the Duaa & he should mention this during the course of the Duaa. For eg. He should say, O Allah! I had performed so & so deed solely for Your pleasure. O Allah! accept my Duaa due to the barkat of that deed. (Muslim, Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud).

* To make the Duaa in a soft voice (All six major hadith collections on the authority if Abu Musa)

* To utter the Duaa phrases transcrIbnd from Rasulullah Sallalahu Alayhi Wasallam because Rasulullah Didn't leave out a single need of the Deen nor of the dunya whilst teaching us how to make Duaa (Abu Dawud/Nasai)

* To make Duaa in favour of oneself first, thereafter ones parents and to include the other Muslims in the Duaa as well (Muslims)

* If the Imam is making Duaa, he should not make Duaa for himself only but he should Include all the congregants in the Duaa (Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah)

* Abu Dawud (R.A.) Narrates that Rasulullah Said that the Imam who makes Duaa for himself only, has betrayed the people." In other words, the Imam should not Make a Duaa that is restricted to him alone. For eg. He should not say, "O Allah! cure my son." or "O Allah! Return my lost item." etc. but he should make a Duaa that includes all the congregation for eg. He may say "O Allah! Forgive us and have mercy upon us."

* To make Duaa with firm conviction (for eg. he should not say: "O Allah! If you wish fulfil so and so task of mine." (All six major hadith collections)

* As far as possible endeavour to bring about a "presence of heart and mind" and cherish a high hope of the Duaa being accepted.(Haakim)

* To make Duaa repeatedly. (Bukhari, Muslim)

* This repetition should be at least thrice (Abu Dawud)

* Note One may repeat the Duaa thrice in none sitting or he may repeat it on three different occasions. The "repetition of the Duaa" can be interpreted in both ways."

* To make Duaa earnestly and insistently. (Nasai, Hakim, Abu awanah)

* To abstain from making Duaa of severing family ties or other sins. (Muslim, Tirmidhi)

* Avoid making Duaas of pre-determined and fixed things (for eg woman should not make a duaa of being transformed into a man or a tall person shouldn't make Duaa thus:"O Allah! Make me short ." etc) (Nasai).

* Don't Make Duaa for impossible things. (Bukhari)

* Don't make a Duaa in which you ask Allah Ta'aala to confine His mercy to yourself Only (Bukhari, Abu Dawud, Nasai, Ibn Majah)

* Ask only Allah Ta'aala alone for all your needs. Do not depend upon His creation. (Tirmidhi/Ibn Hibbaan)

* The one making the Duaa as well as the person listening to it, both should say Aameen at the end. (Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, Nasai)

* Rub both hands over the face at the termination of the Duaa (Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi,Ibn Hibbaan, Majah, Hakim)

* Don't be impatient over the acceptance of Duaas. In other words, don't say: "I've made Duaa repeatedly but to no avail." (Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, Nasai, Ibn Majah)

* One should make Duaa through the medium of the Ambiyaa (alayhimus-salaam) and other Pious servants. (For eg. He should say. O Allah! Accepts my Duaa through The good offices of these saintly people). (Bukhari, Bazzaar, Haakim)

That will consistute to exactly what the Christians do with Jesus and their saints. This should be avoided.

* Rub both hands over the face at the termination of the Duaa (Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi,Ibn Hibbaan, Majah, Hakim)

I have heard many scholars who think otherwise. watch the video of or read about "Pray as you see me pray." The only time robbing is bentioned is the nightly before bed recitations of the three Quls and Ayatul Qursi. The other time is when husband rub the hand of prayer on himself and his wife, on their first time together. That should be before they consumate the marriage.

Whereever we make mistakes, may Allah forgives us all.

olabowale:

That will consistute to exactly what the Christians do with Jesus and their saints. This should be avoided.

so its not good to say "ola anobi wa muhammed" when praying, ?

@javalove

so its not good to say[b] "ola anobi wa muhammed"[/b] when praying, ?

You got it wrong. The highlighted is quite different from in the name of Jesus or in the name of Muhammad (Peace be on them). There is nothing wrong in saying the above.

@Babs787: Each time I read your piece, I have the urge to learn from you. Alhamdulillah. May Allah increase you in Iman and Ilm.

The statement that when Allah loves a soul, He gives Him Iman and beneficial knowledge, is true. You are a good example of it.


@Javalove: To illustrate what I was alluding to and what Babs 787 had cleverly pointed out, above; there is a dua that one can make which is something like this:

Oh Allah bless me as you have blessed those whom you have blessed before me. Something like that. However you should not say oh Allah in the name of Muhammad or things of that nature. Rather, you can say in your love for Muhammad (AS), whom is your nobliest of servants, bless me, or in any of all the reverences that God has shown His uniqueness and sole power to be the One to supplicate to. In essence, you are saying to the Almighty that it is clear that He loves His prophet, you are also demanding the clarity in His blessing of you as you hope for it.

If I worded it wrongly, or come across in a bad way, I ask Allah to forgive me because my intention is not to mislead. may Allah accept our effort, all together.

Bretheren, let us keep the work up and i pray Allah help us and forgive us of our shortcoming

good for you

Salam all, i love you all my brothers in islam, keep it up and may almighty Allah be with you all insha Allah (Amin).

javalove!! can u tell me much about iman?

Iman

Iman according to the Holy Prophet (saw) is to believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and to believe in divine destiny, both the good and the evil thereof.

Iman is to believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and to believe in divine destiny, both the good and the evil thereof. This level is more theoretical than the first level of Islam. In the first level, a person is saved by worshipping God through actions.

Here, to reach Iman, more faith is needed, a deeper degree of acknowledgement is required. This includes a belief in God and what he said. He informed in His Book, the Holy Qur'an, that He has angels, He sent previous books to humanity, delivered through previous messengers.

Thus, a person reaching Iman (a Mu'men) believes that not only God exists but He is capable of doing anything He wants. A Mu'men believes in everything God told about in the Holy Qur'an. He believes that there are other intelligent creations of God than human beings, particularly angels. Among these are Jibril (Gabriel, the medium between God and His human messengers), Michael (angel of sustenance), Ezrael (angel of death), Israfel (angel of the Trumpet), Radhwan (custodian of Paradise), Malek (custodian of the Hellfire), Nakker, and Nakeer (the angels who keep records for our good deeds and bad deeds). A Mu'men is a person who believes that these angels exist and our life is affected by them.

A Mu'men also believes that God revealed His guidance to humanity in previous books before the Holy Qur'an. These included the Torah (Old Testament revealed to Moussa, Moses, bpuh), Zaboor (revealed to Prophet Dawood, David, bpuh), and the Engel (New Testament revealed to the Messiah, Essa Bin Mariam, Jesus Christ bpuh). These books included the same message of guidance to humanity summarized in the Holy Qur'an. A Mu'men, further, has the same respect and love to the previous messengers of God, and should not differentiate one from the other, or side with one against the other.

A Mu'men believes that this life is a test, in which all our deeds and activities are recorded by angels. We will be held accountable for the entire test when we meet our Creator in the Day of Judgment. So, the belief in the Last Day is an acknowledgement of accountability and reckoning. It is an incentive for people to do good in this life in order to be rewarded in Paradise, and a warning against doing bad in order to avoid punishment in the Hellfire.

Finally, a Mu'men believes in Al-Qada wal Qadar, or divine destiny, both the good and the evil thereof. This is a belief in the ability of Allah, praise to him, to predict our behavior. (For a brief discussion about predestination, see: Five Islamic Issues, predestination and choice, position toward other religions, angels, and the End of Days).
