Dua for success
Mu' meneen
Brothers and Sisters,
As Salaam Aleikum wa
Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be
upon all of you)
One of our
brothers/sisters has asked this question:
I would like to know if there are any surahs
by reading which we can beseech Allah to grant us success in our
undertakings.
(There may be some
grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not
change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our
readers for circulation in confidentiality.)
Answer:
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is no one (no idol, no person, no
grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone,
and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of
His Messengers.
There are several Aayahs in the
Glorious Quran, and several supplications in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (saws) which show us the
way on how to beseech the Merciful Lord to grant us our supplications. One of the best and most comprehensive duas is taught by Allah Subhanah
to the believers in His Glorious Quran, where The
Merciful Lord guides the believers to ask Him for the good not only in this
world, but also in the Hereafter:
Allah Says in the Holy Quran
Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah
verse 201:
201 And there are men who say: "Our Lord! give
us good in this world, and good in the Hereafter; and defend us from the
torment of the fire!"
202 To these will be allotted what they have earned, and Allah is quick
in account.
Salman al-Farsi reported that the Prophet (saws) said, "Your Lord,
the Blessed and the Exalted One, is Modest and Generous, and He loathes to turn away His servant empty-handed when he raises his
hands to Him in supplication."
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your Brother in Islam,
