du'a

du'a is the most powerful weapon for human beings.

du'a is preferably mentioned in arabic. if you can't, then you can use your own language since Allah knows all language.

du'a of the oppressed has no boundaries. it goes straight to Allah. this includes other people from other religions.

du'a is best mentioned during the gap between athan and iqamah; and other few moments.

du'a is best to be general. you don't have to explain the details since Allah knows exactly what you want. for example: it's unnecessary to say O Allah please reward me with heaven, with all of the rivers, with wives and children and bla bla bla. just ask for Jannah itself and it's good enough.

du'a is being answered in three ways. first, Allah gives you what you ask for. second, your sins will be forgiven by Allah, and the third, it's being kept for akhirah (to help you at Mahsyar).

du'a is best when you ask for the highest. there's a story about it. here it goes: there were three young men. they went into a cave and suddenly a rock blocked the door. they suddenly begged for Allah's mercy. the first man said, "O Allah, i collect the milk from the cows everyday and i bring them to my parents first despite of bringing them to my wife and children. and one day, i was late to collect the milk and i brought the milk as usual for my parents but they already felt asleep. my children at home were crying for the milk. but i stood beside my parents without waking them up. if i did that for your sake O Allah, please move the rock a bit!". and the rock moved a bit. then, the second guy mentioned, " O Allah, my cousin is a beautiful woman and she asked me to bring her 1000 dinar if we are to perform fornication. and so i brought her the 1000 dinar but then she said, "ittaqullah" and if i refused to fornicate with her only for your sake, please let us see the sky O Allah!". and the rock moved another 2/3 enough for them to see the sky. and finally, the third guy begged, "O Allah Almighty! i was to pay a man who worked for my farm with a pack of corn seeds but he left before i have the chance to hand him the seeds. then, i planted the seeds, yield the corn, and sold them at the market. with the money, i bought a number of cows and they multiplied all over my farm. and suddenly, the man who worked for me came to get his payment and i told him, "you see all of the cows on my farm? it's all yours." so if i did that only for you O Allah, please remove the rock completely from the door!". and the rock moved completely and they got to walk outside. so from this story, it is important that we ask for the highest to Allah. like the two men earlier, they only asked Allah to moved the rock a bit and to see the sky, but the last man asked to move the rock completely. thats how we should mention our du'a. Allah owns everything and He's the MOST MERCIFUL and GRACIOUS.

du'a is an act of worship. the CREATOR loves His slaves who worships Him at all time.

and it's much better if you beg to Allah when it's night, when everyone's sleeping. privacy is really good. and your tears are really valuable. btw, this song can make you cry if you try to feel it.

In Allah we have faith
