 Introduction
This is an age where we leave the musallah in a haste and can't
even make enough specific duas. We don't run to Allaah ONLY
during the time of hardship and distress, we should go to him
during the time of ease too.
This is a very short e-book with a compilation of BEAUTIFUL
DUAS for forgiveness and repentance (also includes 5 duas you
should start making to KEEP YOUR MARRIAGE BEAUTIFUL.
Who doesn't want a beautiful marriage???
The singles will also find it really useful to guide them in their
supplication for spouses and a happy marriage in shaa Allaah.
BaarakaLlaahu feekunna.

NOTE: Because Du'a is worship and there are narrated

da'waat (duas) from the Prophet and his Companions on this,
it's better when writing a book on such to give preference to
the prayers in the Qur'aan and from the Ahadeeth.
Of course we can always form words of prayers in their
languages themselves. However, prayers of the prophets are
great foundations and Allaah answers His prophets, so we can
use that hopefulness too.
A little extra: Etiquettes of making dua.

Etiquettes of Making Du’aa’(from Islam Q/A)

What is the etiquette of making du’aa’ and what are the
obligatory duties and Sunnahs thereof? How should it start and
how should it end? Can we ask for worldly things before asking
with regard to the Hereafter?
How correct is it to raise the hands when making du’aa’, and
how should it be done if it is correct?.

Answer
Praise be to Allah.

Firstly:

Allaah loves to be asked, and He encourages that in all things.

He is angry with the one who does not ask of Him and He
encourages His slaves to ask of Him. Allaah says (interpretation
of the meaning):
“And your Lord said: “Invoke Me [i.e. believe in My Oneness
(Islamic Monotheism) and ask Me for anything] I will respond to
your (invocation)”

[Ghaafir 40:60]

Du’aa’ is very important in Islam, so much so that the Prophet

(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Du’aa’ is
worship.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 3372; Abu Dawood, 1479;
Ibn Maajah, 3828; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-
Tirmidhi, 2590.

Secondly:

The etiquette of du’aa’:

1 – The one who is making du’aa’ should believe in Tawheed

with regard to the divinity, Lordship, names and attributes of
Allaah. His heart should be filled with Tawheed. In order for
Allaah to respond to the du’aa’, it is essential that the person
should be responding to his Lord by obeying Him and not
disobeying Him. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad) concerning Me,

then (answer them), I am indeed near (to them by My
Knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the supplicant
when he calls on Me (without any mediator or intercessor). So
let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led
aright”

[al-Baqarah 2:186]

2 – Sincerity towards Allaah alone in making du’aa’. Allaah says

(interpretation of the meaning):

“And they were commanded not, but that they should worship
Allaah, and worship none but Him Alone (abstaining from
ascribing partners to Him)”

[al-Bayyinah 98:5]
Du’aa’ is worship, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) said, so sincerity (ikhlaas) is a condition of its
being accepted.

3 – We should ask of Allaah by His most beautiful names. Allaah

says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And (all) the Most Beautiful Names belong to Allaah, so call on

Him by them, and leave the company of those who belie or
deny (or utter impious speech against) His Names”

[al-A’raaf 7:180]

4 – We should praise Allaah as He deserves before we call upon

Him. Al-Tirmidhi (3476) narrated that Fadaalah ibn ‘Ubayd (may
Allaah be pleased with him) said: Whilst the Messenger of
Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was sitting,
a man came in and prayed and said, “O Allaah, forgive me and
have mercy on me.” The Messenger of Allaah (S) said, “You
have been too hasty, O worshipper. When you have prayed and
are sitting, praise Allaah as He deserves to be praised, and send
blessings upon me, then call upon Him.” According to another
version (3477): “When one of you prays, let him start with
praise of Allaah, then let him send blessings upon the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), then let him ask
whatever he likes after that.” Then another man prayed after
that, and he praised Allaah and sent blessings upon the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). The Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “O
worshipper, ask and you will be answered.” Classed as saheeh
by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi, 2765, 2767.

5 – Sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings of

Allaah be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: “Every du’aa’ is kept back until you
send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him).” Narrated by al-Tabaraani in al-Awsat, 1/220;
classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 4399.

6 – Facing towards the qiblah. Muslim (1763) narrated that

‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with him) said:
On the day of Badr, the Messenger of Allaah (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) looked at the mushrikeen, who
were one thousand strong, and his companions numbered
three hundred and nineteen. Then the Prophet of Allaah (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) turned to face the qiblah,
then he stretched forth his hands and started to cry out to his
Lord: “O Allaah, grant me what You have promised me, O
Allaah, give me what You have promised me. O Allaah, if this
small band of Muslims perishes, You will not be worshipped on
earth.” He kept on crying out to his Lord, stretching forth his
hands, facing towards the qiblah, until his cloak fell from his
shoulders…

al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in Sharh

Muslim: This shows that it is mustahabb to face towards the
qiblah when making du’aa’, and to raise the hands.

7 – Raising the hands. Abu Dawood (1488) narrated that

Salmaan (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger
of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“Your Lord, may He be blessed and exalted, is Kind and Most
Generous, and He is too kind to let His slave, if he raises his
hands to Him, bring them back empty.” Classed as saheeh by
Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood, 1320.

The palm of the hand should be raised heavenwards, in the

manner of a humble beggar who hopes to be given something.
Abu Dawood (1486) narrated from Maalik ibn Yasaar (may
Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When you
ask of Allaah, ask of Him with the palms of your hands, not with
the backs of them.” Classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in
Saheeh Abi Dawood, 1318.

Should the hands be held together when raising them or should

there be a gap between them?

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) stated

in al-Sharh al-Mumti’ (4/25) that they should be held together.
What he said is: “As for separating them and holding them far
apart from one another, there is no basis for that in the Sunnah
or in the words of the scholars.” End quote.

8 – Having certain faith that Allaah will respond, and focusing

with proper presence of mind, because the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Call upon Allaah when
you are certain of a response, and remember that Allaah will
not answer a du’aa’ that comes from a negligent and heedless
heart.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 3479; classed as hasan by
Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi, 2766.
9 – Asking frequently. A person should ask his Lord for
whatever he wants of the good things in this world and the
Hereafter, and he should beseech Allaah in du’aa’, and not seek
a hasty response, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: “The slave will receive a response so
long as his du’aa’ does not involve sin or severing of family ties,
and so long as he is not hasty.” It was said, “What does being
hasty mean?” He said: “When he says, ‘I made du’aa’ and I
made du’aa’, and I have not seen any response,’ and he gets
frustrated and stops making du’aa’.” Narrated by al-Bukahari,
6340; Muslim, 2735.

10. He should be firm in his du’aa’, because the Prophet (peace

and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “No one of you
should say, ‘O Allaah, forgive me if You wish, O Allaah, have
mercy on me if You wish’; he should be firm in his asking, for
Allaah cannot be compelled.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6339;
Muslim, 2679.

11 – Beseeching, humility, hope and fear. Allaah says

(interpretation of the meaning):

“Invoke your Lord with humility and in secret”

[al-A’raaf 7:55]

“Verily, they used to hasten on to do good deeds, and they

used to call on Us with hope and fear, and used to humble
themselves before Us”

[al-Anbiya’ 21:90]

“And remember your Lord within yourself, humbly and with

fear and without loudness in words in the mornings and in the
afternoons”

[al-A’raaf 7:205]

12 – Saying du’aa’s three times. Al-Bukhaari (240) and Muslim

(1794) narrated that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood (may Allaah be
pleased with him) said: “Whilst the Messenger of Allaah (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was praying at the Ka’bah,
Abu Jahl and his companions were sitting nearby. They had
slaughtered a camel the previous day, and Abu Jahl said:
“Which of you will go and get the abdominal contents of the
camel of Banu So and so and put it on the back of Muhammad
when he prostrates?” The worst of the people went and got it,
and when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) prostrated, he placed it between his shoulders. They
started laughing, leaning against one another. I was standing
there watching, and if I had had any power, I would have lifted
it from the back of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him). The Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) remained in prostration, not
lifting his head, until someone went and told Faatimah. She
came with Juwayriyah, and lifted it from him, then she turned
to them and rebuked them. When the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) had finished his prayer, he
raised his voice and prayed against them – and when he made
du’aa’ or asked of Allaah he would repeat it three times – and
he said: “O Allaah, punish Quraysh” three times. When they
heard his voice, they stopped laughing and were afraid because
of his du’aa’. Then he said, “O Allaah, punish Abu Jahl ibn
Hishaam, ‘Utbah ibn Rabee’ah, Shaybah ibn Rabee’ah, al-
Waleed ibn ‘Uqbah, Umayyah ibn Khalaf and ‘Uqbah ibn Abu
Mu’ayt,” and he mentioned the seventh but I cannot remember
who it was. By the One Who sent Muhammad (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) with the truth, I saw those
whom he had named slain on the day of Badr, then they were
dragged and thrown into the well, the well of Badr.

13 – Ensuring that one’s food and clothing are good (i.e., halaal).
Muslim (1015) narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be
pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “O people, Allaah is Good
and does not accept anything but that which is good. Allaah
enjoins upon the believers the same as He enjoined upon the
Messengers. He says (interpretation of the meaning):

‘O (you) Messengers! Eat of the Tayyibaat [all kinds of Halaal

(lawful) foods which Allaah has made lawful (meat of
slaughtered eatable animals, milk products, fats, vegetables,
fruits)] and do righteous deeds. Verily, I am Well‑Acquainted
with what you do’

[al-Mu’minoon 23:51]

‘O you who believe (in the Oneness of Allaah — Islamic

Monotheism)! Eat of the lawful things that We have provided
youwith’
[al-Baqarah 2:172]

Then he mentioned a man who travels for a long distance and is

disheveled and dusty, and he stretches forth his hands towards
heaven saying, ‘O Lord, O Lord,’ but his food is haraam, his
drink is haraam, his clothing is haraam, he has been nourished
with haraam, so how can he be responded to?

Ibn Rajab (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Ensuring that
one’s food, drink and clothing are halaal, and that one is
nourished with halaal, is a means of having one’s du’aa’
answered. End quote.

14 – Saying du’aa’ silently and not out loud. Allaah says

(interpretation of the meaning):

“Invoke your Lord with humility and in secret”

[al-A’raaf 7:55]
And Allaah praised His slave Zakariyyah (peace be upon him) by
saying (interpretation of the meaning):

“When he called to his Lord (Allaah) a call in secret”

[Maryam 19:3]

We have also discussed du’aa’ and specific means by which a

person may receive a response, as well as the etiquette of
du’aa’ and the times and places when a response may be
hoped for, the state in which a person should be when making
du’aa’, impediments to a response to du’aa’ and the types of
response. All of that may be found in the answer to question no.

Dua on Forgiveness and Repentance

The Prophet Muhammad said, the one who repents for a sin is
like the one who has not committed a sin (al-Bayhaqi and Ibn
Majah). Peace and blessings be upon him.

have judged, so forgive me for what I have done and what I
have delayed, and what I have concealed and what I have
announced, You are my God, there is no god but You.

From the Quran

Rabbanaa faghfir lana thunoobana wa kaffir 'anna sayyiaatinaa
wa tawaffanaa ma 'al abraar.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and efface our bad deeds and take
our souls in the company of the righteous (Quran 3:193).

Rabbana thalamnaa anfusanaa wa illam taghfir lanaa wa tar

hamnaa lanakoo nunna meen al khasireen.
Our Lord! We have sinned against ourselves and unless You
grant us forgiveness and bestow Your mercy upon us, we shall
most certainly be lost.

Rabbanagh firlanaa wa li ikhwaa ninallatheena sabaqoonaa bil

eemani wa la taj'al fee quloobinaa ghillall lillatheena aamanoo
rabbanaa innaka raoofur raheem.
Our Lord! Forgive us, and our brethren who came before us
into the Faith, and leave not, in our hearts, rancour (or sense of
injury) against those who have believed. Our Lord! Thou art
indeed Full of Kindness, Most Merciful (Quran 59:10).

Rabbanagh firlana thunoobana wa israfana fee amrina wa

thabbit aqdaa mana wan surna alal qawmil kafireeen.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and the lack of moderation in our
doings, and make firm our steps and succor us against those
who deny the truth (Quran 3:147).
From the Ahadeeth
Allahummagh firli thanbi kullahu diqqahu wa jillahu wa
awwalahoo wa akhirahoo wa 'ala niyyatahoo wa sirrahoo.
Oh Allah! Forgive me all my sins, great and small, the first and
the last, those that are apparent and those that are hidden
(Muslim).

Astaghfir Allah wa atoobu ilayh.

I seek the forgiveness of Allah and repent to Him (Bukhari,
Muslim. It is recommended that this Dua be said 100 times
during the day).

Allhumma innaka afuwwun tuhibbul afwa fa'fu anni

Oh Allah! You are Forgiving and love forgiveness so forgive me
(Bukhari. This Dua is specifically recommended for the Night of
Power or Laylatul Qadr).
Dua is not only for times of distress, but it is also for times of
thankfulness This is why it is critical that we pass on the
importance and beauty of Dua to the next generation of
Muslims.

BEAUTIFUL DA'WAAT (DUAS) FOR A BEAUTIFUL MARRIAGE

The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: “Whoever wishes that
Allah would respond to him during hardship and grief, then let
him supplicate plentifully when at ease.” (Jami` at-Tirmidhi
3382)

In case you don't know, the most significant achievement of

Shaitan is to create disharmony between couples.

Jabir (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger (‫ )ﷺ‬said:

Iblis places his throne upon water; he then sends detachments
(for creating dissension); the nearer to him in rank are those
who are most notorious in creating dissension. One of them
comes and says: “I did so and so.” And he says: “You have done
nothing.” Then one amongst them comes and says: “I did not
spare so and so until I sowed the seed of discord between a
husband and a wife.” The Satan goes near him and says: “You
have done well.” A’mash said: He then embraces him. (Sahih
Muslim 2813 b)

The Hadith below is therefore relevant at this juncture!

The Messenger of Allah (‫ )ﷺ‬said: “Do not turn your houses into
graves. Indeed Ash-Shaitan does not enter the house in which
Surat Al-Baqarah is recited.” (Jami` at-Tirmidhi Vol. 5, Book 42,
Hadith 2877)
