| We sent the following out last year and it received a lot of good feedback. The season of Dua has returned once again. Perhaps there will be some benefit in re-sending it. - Muhammad Alshareef ======================================== Try this at the Masjid (or at home, whatever works for you) When I was young, I was scheduled to start memorizing Qur'an at Ar-Rashid Islamic Institute in Cornwall, Canada after Ramadan. Well, the last ten nights of Ramadan were coming up and I thought to myself, 'If I make the same dua every night for the last ten nights of Ramadan then my dua would have to have coincided with Laylat ul-Qadr.' So the dua I made was, 'Oh Allah, help me to memorize your book in 2 years or less.' Allah ta'ala says in the Qur'an: [And as for the blessing of your Lord, then tell others.] Alhamdulillah, exactly 2 years later I had finished the entire Qur'an. If Allah ta'ala said to you, 'ask for anything and I shall give it to you', what would you ask for? This year, I hope to encourage myself and you to make a list - right now - that categorizes at least five things we want in these coming nights to ask Allah for. Do it now before you forget. The last ten nights begin in some places Sunday night, so let's pull our sleeves up now and try our best to make our 'customized' dua every night from now till the end of Ramadan. Very soon, this Ramadan will be gone. Let's take advantage of it now. The Task: Make a list of at least 5 things that you want from Allah. Then starting Sunday night, make the same dua every night till the end of Ramadan. Your dua would have coincided with Laylat ul-Qadr! Oh Allah, accept! |

| Bismillah, Assalamu alaikum It's funny you mentioned a list of 5 things. The Sahaba used to choose 5 du'aas each Ramadan, Umrah or Hajj or other season for du'aa, and they would ask Allah fervently every day during that season. They said that before the same season next year came around, Allah had answered all their du'aas :) |

| [slm] That is really interesting sister MF, do you have more details on that? Is it that they chose five "dunya" related things to make specific dua' for along with dua' for the aakhirah, or just five dua' that may be for something in either place? |

| [wlm] No I don't really have any more details. I just heard this in a talk recently, wallahu a'lam. I imagine that the du'aa they made was for things that would happen in the dunya, since it was always answered within that year, but Allahu a'lam, they could have also been making du'aa that Allah strengthen Islam or that such and such a tribe or city would come into Islam.... Allahu a'lam |
