One of the most underestimated and underrated forms of Ibaadah! Du'a!
Calling upon Allah ﷻ!
عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ -رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا- عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: { إِنَّ اَلدُّعَاءَ هُوَ اَلْعِبَادَةُ } رَوَاهُ اَلْأَرْبَعَةُ, وَصَحَّحَهُ اَلتِّرْمِذِيُّ . 1
1 - صحيح. رواه أبو داود (1479)، والنسائي في" الكبرى" (6 / 450). والترمذي (3247)، وابن ماجه (3828)، وزادوا ثم قرأ:" وقال ربكم ادعوني استجب لكم إن الذين يستكبرون عن عبادتي سيدخلون جهنم داخرين" غافر: 60 ، وقال الترمذي:" هذا حديث حسن صحيح".
An-Nu’man bin al-Bashir (RAA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“Verily supplication is worship.”
Related by the four Imams and At-Tirmidhi graded it as Sahih,
_
Allah ﷻ says
* ادْعُونِى أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ *
_Call upon me, I will answer you!_
[40:60]
People think and do not feel as if Du'a is of any use!
But Wallah!
Du'a gave victory to a small number of Muslims over a larger force, numerous times!
Du'a saved the Prophets عليهم السلام numerous times!
Look at Nuh عليه السلام
When he made Du'a to Allah ﷻ,
* رَبِّ لا تَذَر عَلَى الأَرضِ مِنَ الكٰفِرينَ دَيّارًا *
_My Lord! Leave not upon the land any dweller from among the unbelievers._
[71:26]
Allah ﷻ sent a flood to aid him!
When Yusuf عليه السلام was tempted by Zuleikha! He called upon Allah ﷻ
* قَالَ مَعَاذَ الله *
_He said " I seek refuge in Allah"_
[12:23]
When Ibrahim عليه السلام was thrown in the fire, he didn't turn to his father!
He said
* حَسْبِيَ اللهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيل *
_Allah is sufficient and the disposer of Affairs._
[3:173]
And the fire was made cool for him.
Why?
Allah ﷻ says
* وَ إِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيب *
_And when my servants ask you regarding me, then answer I am near._
* أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ *
_I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on me._
[2:186]
In a Hadith Qudsi Prophet ﷺ said _"Allah ﷻ said, `I am as My servant thinks of Me, and I am with him whenever he invokes Me"_
[Sahih al-Bukhari 7405]
Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
_“When one of you calls upon Allah, let him hope for the greatest of things. Verily, nothing has any greatness over Allah.”_
[Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān 896]
Anas Ibn Malik رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
_“Do not become frustrated with supplication, for no one was ever ruined by supplication.”_
[Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān 878]
Never think that Allah ﷻ won't answer the Du'a you're making. Unless it is to facilitate a sin like trying to get a boyfriend etc.
Because Allah ﷻ would answer the Du'a even from Mushrikeen calling to Him from the ships in the Sea! Even though they did Shirk as soon as He saved them!
So don't you think your Du'a is to be answered as a Believer!
As Hasan Al Basri رحمه الله said _"Why do you not continuously say Rabbi Rabbi, so perhaps he answers?"
