Dear brothers and sisters: Trials, tribulations
and challenges are part of every person’s life.
However, to counter that, Allah has provided
us a very powerful tool – and that is the tool
of du’a or asking
Allah for help and his mercy when we need it.
And we need it all the time…. Equally
importantly, we forget at times that Allah has
also provided us the opportunity to
dramatically increase the effectiveness of our
own Dua’s by encouraging us to make dua’s
for other brothers and sisters in
Islam. Consider this Hadith by the Prophet
(saws):
“The supplication that gets the quickest
answer is the one made by one Muslim for
another in his absence.”
…… Reported by Abu Daw’ud and
Tirmidhi
