Answer:

Recite mannat

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 none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

If one wishes to ask anything from their Lord Most Merciful or make a supplication, one need not do anything but raise their hands and beg and implore their Lord Most Gracious with humility for whatever their hearts desire! Every single lawful supplication that a believer makes to his Lord, is heard and answered by his Lord; for Allah is indeed All Hearing, All Knowing.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah verse 186:

And if My servants ask you, O Prophet, concerning Me, tell them that I am quite near to them. I hear and answer the prayer of the suppliant, when he calls on Me. So let them respond to My call and believe in Me. (Convey this to them), perhaps they may be guided aright!

The All Knowing, All Wise Allah knows what is good and what is bad for us; therefore, if one asks for something good, Allah will give him/her one of three things:

1.      Allah will give the believer what he/she has supplicated for.

2.      If in the Knowledge of the Lord, what the believer is asking for is not good or harmful for the believer in this world, Allah will store it for him for the world of the Hereafter.

3.      If in the Knowledge of the Lord, what the believer is asking is not good or harmful for the believer in this world, Allah will turn away from the believer an equivalent amount of evil.

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 2257 Narrated by Abu Sa'id al-Khudri

The Prophet (saws) said, "Any Muslim who makes a supplication containing nothing which is sinful, or which involves breaking ties of relationship, will be given for it by Allah one of three things: He will give him swift answer, or store it up for him in the next world, or turn away from him an equivalent amount of evil." Those who heard it said they would then make many supplications and he (saws) replied that Allah was more ready to answer than they were to ask.

Nu'man b. Bashir reported that the Prophet (saws), said, "Verily supplication is worship."

Narrated by Ahmad and Sunan.

Abu Hurairah reported, "The Prophet (saws) said, "Nothing is more dear to Allah than one's supplication to Him.''

Narrated by Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah.

Salman 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."

Narrated by Ahmad and Ibn Hibban.

Abdallah b. 'Umar reported that the Prophet (saws) said, "Hearts are like vessels, some more attentive and capacious than others. When you supplicate Allah you should be certain of being answered, and know that Allah does not answer a supplication that comes from a careless and inattentive heart."

Narrated by Ahmad

Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet (saws) said, "Your supplication will be answered if you are not impatient, and if you do not say, 'I supplicated but my supplication was not heard'."

Narrated by Malik.

Your Question: i have seen many people talking that if we have any thing to ask fromallah...then we should say that we will read bibi fathimah/ saeeda ka mojaza...it;s like mannat

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 39 Surah Zumar verse 3:

Is it not to Allah that sincere devotion is due? But those who take ‘awliyaas’ other than Allah (say): "We only serve them (the awliyaas) in order that they may bring us nearer to Allah." Truly Allah will judge between them in that wherein they differ. But Allah guides not such as are false and ungrateful.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 10 Surah Yunus verse 18:

These people serve beside Allah those which can neither harm nor benefit them, and say, “These are our ‘shofa’a’ (intercessors) with Allah!” (O Mohammed), tell them, “Do you wish to inform Allah of that thing which He knows not in the heavens, or in the earth?” He is absolutely free from, and exalted above the shirk that they commit.

If one invokes any other being or thing seeking to get closer to Allah, or one invokes any other being or thing and tries to make them their ‘intercessors’ with Allah Subhanah, or one invokes any other being or thing with the belief that these ‘intercessors’ can get them their desires from Allah Subhanah, etc….then all these acts would constitute a manifestation of the abomination and unforgivable crime of ‘shirk’ in the Sight of Allah Subhanah!

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 5 Surah Maidah verse 72:

Whoever commits ‘shirk’ (invoking anything with Allah), Allah shall forbid for him Paradise, and Hell shall be his abode. And for such wrong doers there will be no one to help.

Allah says in the Quran: Chapter 4 Surah An-Nisa Verse 48
Shirk (associating other deities with Allah) is the only sin that Allah does not forgive, and He forgives, whomsoever He pleases, sins other than this. For whosoever associates any other partner with Allah, does indeed forge a big lie and commits the most heinous sin

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 39 Surah Zumar verse 65-66:

If you commit ‘shirk’ all your works will be rendered vain and you will be among the losers. Therefore, you should worship Allah Alone, and be among His grateful servants.

If one wishes to ask anything from their Lord Most High, one simply needs to make their supplications directly to Him and Him Alone, in humility and in hope, without absolutely any other ‘shofa’a’ or ‘intercessors’ in between ….for their Lord is indeed He Who is the All-Knowing, All-Hearing; and He responds to every supplications made unto Him by His believing and repentant slaves.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter Chapter 34 Surah Saba verse 50:

50 Say: "If I am astray I only stray to the loss of my own soul: but if I receive guidance it is because of the inspiration of my Lord to me: it is He Who Hears all things and is (ever) Near."

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 56 Surah Waqiah verses 83-87:

83 Then why do ye not (intervene) when (the soul of the dying man) reaches the throat

84 And ye the while (sit) looking on!

85 But We are nearer to him than ye, and yet see not

86 Then why do you not, if you are exempt from (future) account

87 Call back the soul if ye are true (in your claim of independence)?

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 6 Surah Anaam verse 59:

59 With Him are the keys of the Unseen the treasures that none Knoweth but He. He Knoweth whatever there is on the earth and in the sea. Not a leaf doth fall but with His Knowledge: there is not a grain in the darkness (or depths) of the earth nor anything fresh or dry (green or withered) but is (inscribed) in a Record Clear!

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 50 Surah Qaf verse 16:

16 It was We who created man and We Know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him: for We are nearer to him than (even his) jugular vein.

If one trusts, obeys, and follows the guidance and commands of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can be assured of never ever being misled; but if one believes, obeys and follows any other guidance, other than that of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can be assured of being led astray.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
