Answer:
Call Allah by His
Names
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.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chatper 7 Surah Aaraaf verse
180:
180 The
Most Beautiful Names all belong to Allah: so call on Him by them.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chatper 17 Surah
Israa verse 110:
110 Say: "Call upon Allah or call upon ‘Ar-Rahmaan;: by
whatever Name ye call upon Him (it is well): for to Him belong the Most
Beautiful Names. Neither speak thy prayer aloud nor speak it in a low
tone, but seek a middle course between."
Ibn Mas'ud reported that the
Prophet (saws), said, "If any servant of Allah afflicted with distress or
grief makes this supplication, his supplication will be accepted: 'O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your
servant, son of your maidservant. My
forehead is in Your hand. Your command conceming
me prevails, and Your decision concerning me is just. I call upon You by every one of the
Beautiful Names by which You have described Yourself, or which You have
revealed in Your book, or have taught anyone of Your creatures, or which You
have chosen to keep in the knowledge of the unseen with You, to make
the Qur'an the delight of my heart, the light of my breast, and remover of my
griefs, sorrows, and afflictions'." A supplication in these words will be
answered. Allah will remove one's affliction
and replace it with joy and happiness.
Beloved Brother in Islam, not only is it permissible and
lawful to call upon the Lord Most High by His Noble and Exclusive Names and
Attributes at any time of the day and night one desires, it is highly recommended
and encouraged and an extremely preferred Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah
(saws) that one do so!
Your
Question: AND THE SECOND QUESTION IS,,,, THERE IS MUFTI HERE IN my city,,HE
SAYS ,THERE IS VERY HEAT IN allah `names. so if you says allah`s name every
time, you will feel heat.
To the best of our knowledge there is absolutely no
mention in the guidance of the Glorious Quran and the Sunnah regarding the
declaration of the brother ‘mufti’ that ‘THERE IS VERY HEAT IN allah `names. so if you says allah`s
name every time, you will feel heat.’
The ‘heat’ when calling upon the Blessed Names of Allah is
either the brother ‘mufti’s’ own imagination or his opinion and absolutely
unrelated to the Truth declared by the Quran and the Sunnah!
Your
Question: ….third question is this,this is very important,, tell me the dua, or
any deeds,,,which i do and do it in my daily life,,by which allah forgive my
sins, allah give good wealth ,health in this life,and allah give paradise.tell
me the easy and good things, by doing that thing i can make my duniya and
aakhrat good.

said, "For whoever recites the Verse of the Throne (Aayatul Kursi
Al-Baqarah:255) at the end of every prayer, nothing will prevent him from
entering

Abu Hurairah related that the Prophet (saws)
said, "Whoever Glorifies Allah (Subhan-Allah) after every prayer
thirty-three times, and Praises Allah (Alhamdolillaah) thirty-three times, and
extols Allah's Greatness (Allah-o-Akbar) thirty-three times and then says,
'There is no god except Allah, the One. There is no partner with Him. His is
the Dominion and His is the Praise, and He has power over all things,' is
forgiven, even if his sins are as abundant as the foam of the sea."

Dawud.
Sumayy reported from Abu Saleh on the
authority of Abu Hurairah that the poor emigrants went to the Messenger of
Allah (saws) "The wealthy have gotten the high ranks and everlasting
bounties." The Prophet (saws) said,
"Why is that?" They said,
"They pray as we pray and they fast as we fast. (But) they give in charity
and we do not give in charity. They free the slaves and we do not free the
slaves." The Messenger of Allah (saws) told them, "Shall I teach you
something by which you may overtake those who surpass you, by which you will
surpass those who will come after you, and none will then be better than you
except if he does what you do?" They said, "Certainly, O Messenger of
Allah (saws)." He told them, "Glorify Allah (Subhan Allah)
thirty-three times, praise Him (Alhamdolillaah) thirty three times, and extol
His Greatness (Allah-o-Akbar) thirty-four times."
Abdurahman ibn Ghanim reported that the Messenger
of Allah (saws) said, "Whoever says, 'There is no god but Allah, the One.
There is no partner with Him. His is the Dominion and His is the Praise. In his
hand is all the good. He gives life and death, and He has power over all
things,' ten times after the sunrise and dawn prayer, before turning away and
lifting his leg, will have written for him for each repetition ten good deeds,
and will have erased for him ten evil deeds. He will also be raised ten
degrees, will be protected from every plot, and he will be protected from the
outcast Shaytaan. No sin will lead to his destruction except idolatry, and he
will be the person with the best deeds, surpassed only by the one who does more
and says more than what he has said."

Your
Question: …..tell me the easy and good things, by doing that thing i can make
my duniya and aakhrat good.
Beloved brother, there might be many a short-cut to obtain
success in the life of this short and transitory world…..but the entry to
Paradise is restricted only to those who sincerely believe and do righteous
good deeds in accordance with the guidance of the Quran and the Sunnah.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 79 Surah
Naziaat verses 35-41:
35 The Day (of Judgment) when man shall
remember (all) that he strove for
36 And Hell-Fire shall be placed in full
view for (all) to see
37 Then for such as had transgressed all
bounds
38 And had preferred the life of this world
39 The Abode will be Hell-Fire;
40 And for such as had entertained the fear of standing before their
Lord's (Tribunal), and had restrained (their) soul from lower desires
41 Their abode will be the Garden.
The one thing which encourages, inspires, and strengthens
belief and the doing of good righteous deeds is to constantly develop the fear
that, without an iota of a doubt, One Inevitable Day all of mankind will be
gathered in the Presence of the Lord to give a full accounting of one’s
deeds. It is the constant development
and maintenance of this fear or ‘taqwa’ which will entitle one to attain
success in the Hereafter.
If one studies the Glorious Quran, one would realize that
more often than not, wherever Allah Subhanah Promises His slaves the
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale
Imraan verse 133:
133 Be quick in the race for forgiveness from
your Lord and for a Garden whose width is that (of the whole) of the heavens
and of the earth; prepared for the ‘Muttaqeen’.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 50 Surah
Qaaf verses 31-33:
31 And the Garden will be brought nigh to
the ‘Muttaqeen’, no more a thing distant.
32 (A voice will say:) "This is what
was promised for you, for everyone who turned (to Allah) in sincere repentance
who kept (his law).
33 "Who feared (Allah) Most Gracious
unseen and brought a heart turned in devotion (to Him):
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 52 Surah
Tur verses 17-18:
17 As to the ‘Muttaqeen’ they will be in Gardens and in
Happiness
18 Enjoying the (Bliss) which their Lord
hath bestowed on them and their Lord shall deliver them from the Penalty of the
Fire.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 68 Surah
Qalam verse 34:
34 Verily for the ‘Muttaqeen’
are Gardens of Delight in the Presence of their Lord.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 16 Surah
Nahl verse 31:
31 Gardens of Eternity which they will
enter: beneath them flow (pleasant) rivers: they will have therein all that
they wish: thus doth Allah reward the ‘Muttaqeen’
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 25 Surah
Furqan verses 15-16:
15 Say: "Is that (fire) better or the
eternal Gardens promised to the ‘Muttaqeen’? For them that is a reward as well
as a goal (of attainment).
16 "For them there will be therein all
that they wish for: they will dwell (there) for aye: a promise to be prayed for
from thy Lord."
Thus, in conclusion, my dear and beloved brother in Islam
the absolute best way to bring about this reformation in our hearts is to get
close to the Remembrance of our Lord Who Created us; and the best way to
Remember our Lord is to read, understand, obey, follow and completely submit
ourselves to His Glorious Message which He Himself revealed for our guidance,
The One and Only Glorious and Noble Quran!
Allah is our witness brother, one who sincerely submits
himself to the Glorious Message of their Lord will find that his whole life
will become a life spent in the worship and remembrance of His Lord; his
prayers, his fasts, his zakat, his Hajj, his work, his relationship with fellow
man, in fact, his every single deed will be aligned to earn the Pleasure and
Good Will of His Lord Most Gracious, Most Merciful …..and it is this same
‘submission’ which will inspire one to stay away from every single deed which
would bring about or ignite the Wrath and Anger and Punishments of the Lord
Most Majestic, Most Supreme.
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.

well wisher in Islam,
Burhan
