Interesting du'a indeed. I remembered when I was told to recite this du'a in my dream, I seems to forget it that formula (ayah), and the man came again to remind me of it.

No specific format was given though, so I often recite it as I like. Can you share how exactly you use this du'a.

Thanks.

I was expecting the brother/sister to ask this. You see, in any dua or dhikr one makes should always start with series of adhkar, They are permanent (Muqaddimah):

Istighfar 100x

shahada 100x

Salatul ala nabiy 100x


There are more but these are the basics follow by niyat and "The Body" via >> Wa-inna jundana lahumu alghaliboona 111x or 313x or 1,111x


Closing: praise Allah, send salaam on nabi, reiterate niyat praise Allah, send salaam on nabi and goansleep

You see salawat at the beginning and at the end?. It means Allah will not accept your dua at outstart and then reject it at the end as explained by sheikh Muhammad Malik Adebayo(may Allah preserve him). He said sending salawat on the prophet at the beginning and end means tawasul

Empiree:
Dhikrullah is all you need.

Brother, please is there any other objective we can use this dua for apart from protection against evil from enemies

At the closing part where you said "praise Allah, send salaam on nabi, reiterate niyat praise Allah, send salaam on nabi and goansleep" how many times is one supposed to recite them? And when you said praising Allah, any specifics?
Oh and I'm guessing you forgot to mention to give out sadaqah, after the whole dua? Thanks

Forgot to put comma here

"reiterate niyat, praise Allah"

"praise Allah" in your language if you want and i think that's even better

One time is okay at the minimum. If you wanna do more even better

And yes, you can always give sadaqa.

I learned that after one finishes dua whether for 3 days, 7 days etc or during that time, if someone asks you for a favor/help, it is a sign your dua is accepted. Allah sent the fellow to your direction knowing that you may afford what he or she asks for. Give it out and let Allah give you what you asked for.


O yea, i forgot. muslims should always make dua for fellow muslims dead and alive, for parents and kinfolks. Either at the beginning of dua or at the end or both.

Maybe I should not be surprised, but I am and may alway be when stuff such as this happens...
To me, this is a complete paradox; as to how non-muslims have so much faith in the healing powers of Allah's words and the Muslims need evidence as to using the names of Allah or certain verses or chapters of the Quran for healing.

Someone came concerned about a family friend who has serious sarcoma and I suggested the following protocol based on what has worked:

1. Astagfirullah, Allahumma Salli..., Shahada - all 100x then reciting the following

2. Ya Salam 70k times
or
3. Q36:58 70k times
then
4. Q 9:128-129 (verse of concern) 70k times (Ikupakuti posted on this particular one some pages back)
then
5. Asking Allah for complete healing from said illness and closing with Allahumma Salli... 100x

6. I recommended to have children who have not yet "opened eye" and can recite the Quran to be included in this group recitation as they have no sins impending their duas.

This person allowed me to spill everything and then sternly asked: "Where in Islam is this practiced?" "Where is the proof?" "Did the Prophet ever do any of these?"
I calmly told the person that the names of Allah and His words carry a healing frequency and resonance will occur at the cellular level and the ones I gave were specifically for healing such illness.
I finally told the person that the choice was theirs to either take or leave and nothing was a must.
They are leaning more towards the advice of the doctors to cut off both legs with the usual chemo etc, and they are telling the family that there is still a very low chance of anything positive happening even after the amputation! Subhanallah!
I have never felt like crying as now because this has once again shown me how Muslims are more concerned with the outer form than the inner realities. I can confidently say that we are LOST as an ummah and have thrown away our legacy.
Most people are just doing things by rote without putting their thinking faculties to work. There is such profound mental laziness that is being masked as "where did the prophet do/say this, etc.
I was very surprised to see non-muslims constantly and joyfully come to zikr circles where zikrs and names of Allah are recited. They believe in the power of the words of Allah because they say they have seen amazing benefits in their lives! Just imagine!
Some have become Muslims because of this and others have not. I pray Allah guides all to his straight path, InshaAllah.
The truth of the matter is that whether you are Muslim or not, the powers contained in the words of Allah are binding upon everything and everyone from the grossest to the most subtle matter/particles.

Salam alahykun brother.

The cancer eating Islam is eating it from within. A lot of Muslims don't really know the importance of what Allah in his infinite wisdom has given to us. I personally know a Christian woman that recites the 99 names of Allah at midnight after ablution to solve her problems.

She has even never been a Muslim and according to her it works perfectly for all her problems and we have a bulk of Muslims asking if the prophet ever did that. The Quran is not just meant to be read like some classic novels but be used to solve our problems. It is a mercy from Allah.

May Allah guide us

Wa Alaikum Salam,

You couldn't have said it any better - it is truly a cancer eating Islam from within.
Honestly, reading about the woman you know who uses the 99 names has caused within me such despair, but I am realizing that one cannot make others see or know what you do. Allah is the only one who can lift such veils; as long as the people are willing to learn!
When one sees what is happening to the Muslims globally, it is clear that until we change ourselves from within, help will not come from any source.

movado19:,

Did i not say this over and over on this platform. Anytime they come up with "did the prophet do this or that"...ignore them. Just tell them "salaam alaikum" and let them be. They are very arrogant and illiterate. It doesn't matter whether they are sheikh or "student of knowledge" as they fondly call themselves.

It is very pathetic situation. Their manhaj is, you have to first consult hadith to give you permission to use Quran. What a warped manhaj This your write up buttressed my position on this platform. They dont know nothing. Don't let them carjole you by their "islamic appearance". They are retarded and I am really pissed off reading this. I am going to forward your post to someone who has the same concern when he contacted me few weeks ago. You can see why Quran says prophet muhammad(saw) would complain "my people have deserted Quran" Q25:35

I have said it on this platform in 2014/2015 on a thread that spirituality in our generation is at all time low. Many people focus on outer appearances and neglect internalization of in the spiritual dimension. Islam is more than a religion that can be limited to books only. It goes beyond that wallah.

Apart from that, it is so pathetic that many are focused on useless fights and takfeer that makes absolute no sense. Many are busy with "my manhaj is better than yours. You aren't Ahl sunnah....." and similar rubbish.


I happened to pray last Jummuah prayer at University of Ibadan central mosque and the Imaam said something deep. Lemme paraphrase and transcribe what he said: (though I don't agree with some of his points, you can reason with what he said)

"You Africans will have to increase in your dua than the whites (referring to Arabs I guess). The reason for this is that they have a working environment and they don't have much problems as you do. They can do 33x of istighifar or tahmeel and Allah will accept their prayers, but you Africans, due to your environment laced with problems and different needs which are absolute different from theirs, you will have to increase the number of istighifar and the likes. In Nigeria, 33x istighifar isn't enough oo!


Some people will tell you reciting Sarah Yasin and the likes is bad cos the Prophet didn't recite them. But did the Prophet face a problem that will require such? He didn't and it wasn't necessary for him to recite that".

Some brothers were grumbling after the khutbah sha

I remembered we talked about this in 2014/15 on Jinn Stories. They never gonna understand faah. Best thing is to let them. Quran says it is revealed to explain all things.

This is why christians and lazy muslims think that we dont have spirituality in islam is the reason they take their problems to pastors bcus of these half baked knowledge people.

My Sheikh, truly you have buttressed this point on numerous occasions. What got to me was the seriousness of the illness and to think that someone would still display such a dismal level of thinking in such a critical situation is beyond me.
You are pissed off reading this, so just imagine how I have been feeling. The ship is wrecked and definitely sinking. The irony is that the tools and expertise to repair the ship are all on board, but the ones who have no idea how to fix even a dent on a ship are vehemently stopping the ones with the knowlege and skills. The fact that the ship is sinking doesn't bother them one bit!
I have left them and in the end, we all shall see for sure the whole truth and reality of things as Allah has promised.

I see what the Imaan is saying: Someone with a mild headache could need just a nap or rest and they would be fine, compared to someone with a debilitating migraine headache. The two can't be treated the same way.
That is why there are reasons for reciting surahs, ayas or names of Allah a certain number of times and depending on the situation.
We have it all by the permission of Allah but most are in denial.
Yes, Surah Yasin has earned an unmerited bad wrap due to ignorance. It's as if the more a dua or Surah becomes popular for its efficacy in treating diverse problems, the more these people attack it with all their might!
The prophet already predicted that a time would come when people would say that they used to hear the people of old recite Laillaha Ilallah - meaning they basically would have no clue what it could or may mean, just that they heard it being recited!
Is that time not here already?!

you guys are being deceived.......

My question is, regarding all these zikr 70k, 3k etc.
Is it a must that one has to finish them in a sitting?
Better still, I'd appreciate if anyone of the elders here can guide on how to go about them.

Honestly, learning never ever stops, unless we will ourselves not to learn any further; hence stagnation sets in. I am just a humble student of life and all Allah has placed in it for us to study/observe and learn from.

You must not finish it in a day unless you have the capacity to do so as per number of people present to do so.
You can space it out to finish it in 3, 5, 7, 14, 24, 30,60,90.... days. You will have to decide what is convenient for you; putting into consideration the number of hours per day you and the people involved can dedicate to it as well as if it requires you to be in khalwa (seclusion) or not, etc.
The most important thing here is your intention to do it in x number of days.
Also, You should have a leading sheikh/imam...someone who will help you coordinate what needs to be done before, during and after, how to do it as well as the distribution of the recitations across the board. The more experienced people get to do more, etc.

nothing is a must except for mandatory practices legislated by Islam and a vow you make to Allah fullfil.

As the brother rightly said it is not a must you complete everything in a sitting. Let me bring you back to old discussions from 2014/15. I said at the time that we used to recite sura Yasin 1,111 in a sitting whenever we did this for someone. This usually required 20 to 30 people and we finished in a sitting. Similarly we did 70k istigfar, shahadah and salawat in a sitting.

So you can see there are other people involved. How about you do it yourself?. You simply need to split the counts. Bear in mind that we are not the same. Not all of us have the same energy. Some Alfa have no problems doing 70k shahadah in a sitting. You will be surprised. But this doesn't mean you have to.

And this is the complete truth.

From mine experience and thinking on spiritualty, i think d purpose of doing much adhkar is to connect the soul with d spiritual realm, else most sheikh dont do much before getting to the realm and when they supplicate, it is instantaneously accepted by Allah, so those of us who are still in d local stage of the spiritual real will need to do more adhkar to connect our soul and when d soul is connected the dua is manifested. Coz Allah says الا بذكر الله تطمعين القلوب، that they soul become submisive with dhikr, dhikr will only be a ladder coz Allah also reminds us to call him with total humility which when d soul is connected with dhikr, it becomes humble and the dua is accepted coz thats what Allah needs. Walahu anlam

Allah's aid is sought. People's attack on Surah Yasin may be partly due to some ignorance of some people as regards to it and these folks attack a whole for the crime of a part.


Apart from reciting these suwar or adhkaar a great number of time, it boils down to sincerity and faith in Allah's word. Someone might recite a large amount without having faith that it would work while a person will recite little and Allah will use it ass sabaab for him. Ikhlaas is very important in everything we are doing wallah and this is kinda missing among many of us today.

May Allah grant us sincerity of deeds.

@Hkana, to add to this. These things are like projects and it requires time allocation and discipline. Even school projects cant be completed in a day, one cannot write chapters 1 to 5 at once. It is a gradual process.

It is like an hafidh who wanna be revising what he has memorized everyday. He gets a timeline of how he will go about his murajah. Maybe a Juz after Subhi, a juz after maghrib and two after Ishai. He tries and strives to keep to this schedule.

That's the same thing with dhikr. Spilt it over a long period of time in a day and be persistent with it. May Allah make it easy for us all

not an excuse unfortunately. Rather, a lazy path to escape reality, abi?. One thing is to avoid spiritual path. Is it another thing entirely to preach against it as they do today. Qur'an and Sunnah are still here. Despite showing them evidences from both sources they are unyielding. Whose fault is that, abusers of Sufism or they have themselves to blame?

[quote author=Empiree post=83341043] Interesting, I really like the way the household of Sheikh Bulala (rm) are coming out to disavowed those aberrant elements trying to tarnish the image of the sheikh.I remembered when one their son also trying to be saying 'nonsense' on the pretext of hidden knowledge Allah almighty show him. He was quickly call to order and he did a video apologizing for that mistake of tongue.

I learnt something new from the video why Sheikh Bulala was using those big tasbih round their neck...seems like a 'medal award' after the completion of some certain spiritual work lol. And also to disguise in the eyes of people that they're 'nothing' while seeking divine acceptance only.

Until those "Puritans" pray tahajjud with Surat Baqara, then Imran and Nisa as Holy prophet did, I will never give them attention or take them serious.Because that's is one great sunnah in which they've systematically sidelined , most out of of extremely lazy
