Shakirah Hunter<\/p>\n
We all are incredibly aware of the great power of Duaa and we have no doubt that much of what we achieve \u2013 nay all of what we achieve in our lives are a direct result of the duas that we have made. But what tends to happen at times is that the acceptance of our duas are closely linked to the attachment of meaning and understanding to those duas. There are so many lovely duas out there which are full beautiful renquests of Allah \u2013 however we sometimes rattle of our daily duas to get done with our daily routine and we find ourselves completely unaware just what is it that we are asking Allah Ta\u2019ala.<\/p>\n
Insha\u2019allah every week we will take a look at different Duas and create a deep connection to the words of Nabi Muhammed (s). Every dua He made came directly from Allah Himself and brings with it a deep solace in our lives and a beautiful connection to Allah Ta\u2019ala and highlights our total inability in the face of His Total Power.<\/p>\n
\nIt seems that no matter where we are in our lives or what we may achieve \u2013 we are constantly trying to get the next best thing \u2013 to achieve more, to buy more, to do more.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n
We look at beautiful abayas and thobes and we save for those things with such difficulty \u2013 yet once we have it he bar is suddenly set higher. It is not wrong for us to want to achieve success \u2013 or to change our lives \u2013 but when this consumes us to the point that it drowns us and pushes us towards ingratitude \u2013 that is when we have a real problem.<\/p>\n
Now this want and need to always have more is something that Nabi (s) has described in detail , it seems that we will never be satisfied. If we have one car we will need a second car , if we have one child we will feel the need for more. And He (s) says \u2013 \u201cwe will only be satisfied eventually when sand fills our mouths\u201d.<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n
To combat this, we have to recognize our weaknesses and combat it with duas that ask Allah to directly break these qualities.<\/p>\n
The Prophet (S) has guided us to read:<\/p>\n
\u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u0645 \u0642\u0646\u0639\u0646\u064a \u0628\u0645\u0627 \u0631\u0632\u0642\u062a\u0646\u064a \u0648\u0628\u0627\u0631\u0643 \u0644\u064a \u0641\u064a\u0647<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\u201cAllahumma qanni\u2019ni bima razaqtani wabaarikli fihi\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\u201cOh Allah, grant me satisfaction in that which You have provided me with and bless me in it\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n
This dua highlights to us first and formost that everything we have is directly from Allah Ta\u2019ala Himself. It is only in understanding that every favour is from Him that we realise in complaining or feeling dissatisfaction that we are throwing His favours at Him. Therefore, we place our weakness to Allah Ta\u2019ala in this dua and we ask Him to grant us this satisfaction so that it permeates our lives.<\/p>\n
A deep satisfaction with our children, our spouses, our homes our life choices and our taqdeer. For whilst we strive to achieve more, we cannot do so if we break down what we have and what we have been blessed with even if we may feel like we have outgrown it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
