Man is sent with the tarruf of Allah هلالج لج

Allah هلالج لج has naturally placed His هلالج لج tarruf (familiarity) in the mankind. That is why when a child comes to

this world, it is born on Islam, the natural religion. When it doesn’t get the good environment, it keeps

moving away from Allah هلالج لج. If it gets the environment of La ilaaha illallaahu Muhammadur Rasoolullah and

is persistent in doing righteous deeds, he then becomes the arif of Allah هلالج لج, he gets acquaintance with Allah

and there is no limit for this acquaintance. Depends on how he does the good deeds and keeps away from هلالج لج

the sins, accordingly he becomes fortunate to get the kurb (closeness) of Allah هلالج لج and His maarifat

(knowledge). He reaches very near to Allah هلالج لج. Depending on the kurb and tarruf he gets of Allah هلالج لج,

accordingly he places all his needs and requests of his life before Him هلالج لج. When one gets tarruf and

acquaintance with Allah هلالج لج, he won’t spread his hands before others. Only those will spread hands before

others who doesn’t get acquaintance with Allah هلالج لج.

Sins deprive one from Maarifat of Allah هلالج لج

One whose heart is covered with screen of sins will be away from recognizing Allah هلالج لج and only he will get

humiliated standing before other’s door begging, prostrating before them, spending for them thinking that

they are the relievers of all his worries. While the one who is fortunate to get the maarifat of Allah هلالج لج, he

won’t even be able to spread hands before ghairullah. This maarifat and kurb of Allah هلالج لج is obtained through

righteous deeds and he gets distant from Allah هلالج لج by shirk and committing sins. When the rust of sins

touches the heart, he gets himself in the state of distress and his worries get increased. He goes around

knocking everyone’s door and if he doesn’t go anywhere, it is the house of Allah هلالج لج where he doesn’t go.

People empty his pocket; get his money, spoils his belief but he doesn’t wake up. When Allah’s هلالج لج maarifat

is achieved, if all hopes are cut off from him, he never leaves the hope of Allah هلالج لج. Even if the whole world

leaves him, he is very firm that His Allah هلالج لج is with him. When He هلالج لج is with me, why should I worry about

others.

Friends of Allah هلالج لج recognize Him هلالج لج and seek only His هلالج لج help

When he saw everyone has become his enemy and the enmity too to such an extent that they are ruining my

izzat (honor), ruining my iffat (modesty) and behind this, there is governance, power, means, this slave

remembered whom but Allah هلالج لج. He sought the help from Allah هلالج لج. He was in difficult time, there is only

darkness. On one side, the darkness of the night, then the darkness of the water, the waves of the ocean, then

the darkness of the stomach of the fish: this slave of Allah هلالج لج who has His هلالج لج maarifat cries ‘laa ilaaha illa

anta subhanak’-Ya Allah who is there for me other than You. In one narration, it is said that when a sick

2

person who is bound to die out of that sickness recites the duaa ‘laailaaha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu

minaz zaalimeen’ forty times, he will be given the status of a martyr. When a slave gets the maarifat of Allah

,هلالج لج That is why when a slave asks more to Allah .هلالج لج he places every single of his requests before Him ,هلالج لج

that much is He هلالج لج pleased with him because asking to Him هلالج لج is the sign of maarifat, the sign of

recognizing Him هلالج لج. One who doesn’t ask Him هلالج لج, Allah هلالج لج gets angry with Him هلالج لج for that is sign of his

distant from Allah هلالج لج. A man can be very much generous but when someone goes to him few times with his

needs, he gets annoyed. For how long will you come? But Allah هلالج لج is the one who love him more who

comes to him begging more and more.

Anni massani-ya 'd-durru wa anta arhammu 'r-rahimin-Ya Allah I am afflicted and who can be most merciful

but you. Every lover of Allah هلالج لج and everyone who recognized Allah هلالج لج placed their needs only before Him

Now when the .هلالج لج and he used to place all his needs before Him هلالج لج A mu’min used to recognize Allah .هلالج لج

screen of the sins fell on the heart, he moved away from Allah هلالج لج. He is bereaved of the maarifat of Allah

and even if he asks, it is not much of hope. Duaa is just out of formality هلالج لج because he never asks Allah هلالج لج

with words. Repeating the words is not duaa but duaa is the kaifiayat (state/condition) of the heart that is the

duaa is to do with the heart. Allah هلالج لج says, “Call me and I am hearing your call.” Duaa is the biggest

worship and Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص says, “Duaa is the weapon of the mu’min.”

Duaa, the biggest wazeefa

Duaa helps a person when a calamity befalls him, when he is stuck with difficulties and it also prevents the

upcoming difficulties. Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص used to say, “Stop the way of trials, calamities and difficulties through

duaa, by beseeching Allah هلالج لج earnestly.” If someone says, take this fifty taweez with you, dissolve some and

drink, keep some under the pillow, tie couple of them on the arms, how he will trust that? And here Allah هلالج لج

says, “Ammayi Yujeebul Muztarra iza da'ao wa Yakshifusso”, whoever begs before Allah هلالج لج, Allah هلالج لج

brings him out of his difficulty. How big is this wazeefah and how big this taweez is. But unfortunately the

acquaintance with Allah هلالج لج has ended and that is why they get kicked off from door to door. Allah هلالج لج’s

recognition has ended and there is no practice of asking Allah هلالج لج that He هلالج لج too should be called. Allah هلالج لج

says when my slaves ask about Me; tell them that I am very qareeb (near) to them. This word qareeb doesn’t

have an apt translation. To make us understand, it is said He هلالج لج is closer than the jugular vein. When calling

Allah هلالج لج, let him call with full trust and belief that He هلالج لج has all power to do anything, all treasures are in

His هلالج لج hand and only from Him هلالج لج, he will get anything if he has to get anything. When we have this

attitude, we will then get.

Conditions for acceptance of duaa

When a person asks Allah هلالج لج with all the etiquettes of asking Allah هلالج لج, he will immediately get the sample

of acceptance of his plea and that is his heart gets content that he has got the contact. It is like when the

3

concerned authority has been contacted through phone, even though his work is not yet done but he gets

content that it will be done. Similarly when one contacts Allah هلالج لج through duaa, the acceptance is shown as

the sign of being content. But the condition is duaa has to be made but not said. Today the problem is the

duaa is being said but not made. Duaa should be made with full trust and belief, the mazmoon (subject) of

the duaa should be correct and there should not be any barrier in the acceptance of duaa. It is like saying the

animal will die by the shot of the bullet. Now he placed the bullets in his hand and started throwing at the

animal, now not just the animal even a bird won’t die for he has to fist place the bullet where it has to be

placed. Duaa has taseer (effect) but the man who makes duaa too should have taseer and taaqat (strength) that

is firm belief and this is the second condition. The third condition is that the weapon is good, the bullets are

placed properly but there should not be any barrier between him and the target. Many times, the mazmoon of

duaa is right and he makes duaa with all humbleness but then he eats the haram morsel of food. Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص

said, “A person has undertakes long journey, has disheveled hair and calls ‘Ya Rabb, Ya Rabb' when he

wears haram clothes, eats haram food and drinks haram, how will his duaa get accepted?” There should not

be any barrier in between.

Many times, he makes duaa in the best place where duaa is more accepted like in journey or in Baitullah, but

his sin is such that it is acting as a barrier in acceptance of duaa. If I stand in the row of someone’s enemy

and ask his help, I won’t be helped for I am standing on his enemy’s side. Stand in the row of his friends, you

will be helped. Allah’s هلالج لج every single disobedience is virasat (characteristic) of one of His هلالج لج enemies,

miraas (inherited quality) of one of His enemies. Now if that sin is going on in his life, he is standing on the

saff (row) of His هلالج لج enemies. Come to the saff of His هلالج لج friends, repenting from the sin and see how He هلالج لج

answers the duaa. Doing the sin of some of His هلالج لج enemies, standing on their saff and he says that duaa is

not accepted. Come to the saff of His هلالج لج friends and ask with trust and belief, then you will be answered. In

fact Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص has said that Allah هلالج لج answers the duaa till the slave says ‘I am making duaa but my duaa

is not getting accepted.” When he starts saying this, the duaa starts returning to him.

So when one is fortunate enough to get the maarifat of Allah هلالج لج, he places every need of his life before Him

Even the smallest ”.هلالج لج said, “Even if my shoelace breaks, I seek the help of Allah ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص Allah’s Prophet .هلالج لج

of the smallest things and biggest of the biggest things and every single thing should be asked to Allah هلالج لج.

Make it a habit to ask Allah هلالج لج. We will get salvation from everything. One who gets the door of Allah هلالج لج

will not be in need of anyone. For one Whose door is closed, he will be a beggar everywhere. So make it a

habit to ask Allah هلالج لج that I am to get only from Him هلالج لج and humble before him and beseech Him هلالج لج

earnestly and let the duaa be long and long. There are some times when the duaa is readily accepted like the

time of tahajjud, after fajr salah, between azan and iqaamat, end of day time that is end of asr time and before

maghrib. These are special times of acceptance of duaa when duaas are readily accepted. These are times

when we want something to get from Allah هلالج لج but if we are to make at other times with full concentration,

Allah هلالج لج wont deprive us.

Allah’s هلالج لج ways of accepting duaas, the essence of worship

Allah هلالج لج is Hakeem, Aleem and Raheem. Sometimes when the salve comes to the saff of His هلالج لج friends

making tawba (repentance) and asks with firm belief, then Allah هلالج لج accepts his duaa without any doubt but

He هلالج لج being the King, Hakeem, Khabeer, Aleem and Raheem, instead of giving him the exact thing he

asked for, He هلالج لج gives him something better. When a child asks a chocolate to the mother, the mother

instead of giving the child the chocolate, she gives him an apple, a much better one. Allah هلالج لج is more

merciful than a mother and He هلالج لج is aware of His slaves needs and requests and He also knows very well the

wisdom in giving anything. So Allah هلالج لج adopts all these ways in accepting duaa of His هلالج لج slaves. So make

it a habit of making duaas and make lot of duas. Infact because of the duaa, the maarifat of Allah هلالج لج is

increased more. When he gets something couple of times, then he will come to know that this is where he

gets from. Allah’s هلالج لج talluq (contact) is increased and His kurb is achieved. That is why Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص used to

say, “Duaa is the essence of all the worship.” Here the slavery of the slave is at the peak for he shows himself

as a faqeer, needy, he confesses His greatness, proclaims His هلالج لج majesty. Here the slavery is expressed fully.

When he beseeches Allah هلالج لج and asks Him هلالج لج earnestly, Allah هلالج لج loves these styles and expressions of His

.loves more. So make it your style of making duaas هلالج لج slaves. He هلالج لج

Duaas taught by our beloved Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص

Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص made so many duaas that in hadith, there is a book of his ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص duas. He ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص made duaa for every

situation and these duas carry such beauty and excellence that only Allah’s هلالج لج nabi ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص can make. Once

hazrat ibn Abbas asked Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص, “Ya Rasoolullah ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص teach me a duaa that I can ask Allah هلالج لج all

the time.” Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص told him to make this duaa “Allahumma inni as’alukal afwa wal aafiyata fid dunya

wal aakhirah.”The meaning is: Ya Allah! I ask for your forgiveness (by this he comes to the saff of His هلالج لج

friends and then asks), grant me aafiyat in both the worlds. What a great duaa, in few simple words,

everything came in. Dunya’s aafiyat is in health, children, rizq (provision), family and trade. Aakhirat’s

aafiyat is known. Today in times of trials and tribulations, make this duaa habitual. Forgive me and grant me

aafiyah: Forgive me and grant me aafiyah. If this duaa is accepted anytime, then Alhamdulillah you got the

enjoyment. Your work is done. If Allah هلالج لج, grants you aafiyat, then who can harm you to the least.

Have yaqeen in Allah هلالج لج

Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص used to say, “If whole of the jinn and the mankind gathers together to harm you, unless Allah

,wills, none can harm you to the least. And if whole of the jinn and mankind gather to grant you good هلالج لج

5

unless Allah هلالج لج wills, none can do you any good.” So let the door of Allah هلالج لج be knocked and let it be

knocked often and let Him هلالج لج be asked for every single thing of his life. There is really a great pleasure in

asking Allah هلالج لج because the treasure of every single thing is found at His هلالج لج door. He هلالج لج has the treasure of

both the worlds- Treasure of izzat (honor), aafiyat, health, children, peace and comfort, relation and treasure

of every single thing. So ask Him هلالج لج and present your needs before Him هلالج لج. But it is very important that

you come to the saff of His هلالج لج friends and then ask Him هلالج لج. Once a hazrat said,”Today why people go to

ghairullah and present their needs before them and sacrifice their animals in their name and why do they

prostrate before them? This is because they don’t want to change their lives and they think that without

changing their lives, their needs be fulfilled.” If he has to go to Allah هلالج لج, he has to come to the saff of His

friends and he doesn’t want to come. So he wants his need be fulfilled by giving sweet in someone’s هلالج لج

name or wearing some taweez. His needs be just fulfilled and that is what he wants. Coming to saff of His

friends is hard for his nafs and he doesn’t want to leave the sins. So he has firmly decided that he doesn’t هلالج لج

want to give up the sins but his needs should be fulfilled. That is why he goes to the door of ghairullah and

today if he comes to the door of Allah هلالج لج by coming to the saff of His هلالج لج friends, he won’t be dependent on

anyone.

Allah هلالج لج is saying all by Himself, “Call me and I am hearing you.” When Allah هلالج لج says, ‘I will accept your

requests and needs’, why doesn’t he believe Him هلالج لج. Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص says, “Allah هلالج لج comes to the lower

heaven of this earth and asks if there is anyone who wants his needs to be fulfilled so I can fulfill his needs.

Is there anyone asking for forgiveness so I can forgive him.” If a ruler in power proclaims, “If anyone comes

to me with all his requests and needs tomorrow by this time, your job will be done in an hour.” We will see

how people will line up in a queue. Why? because people know that ruler, recognize him. There will be a

long queue and here we have the King of the kings saying and giving the glad news through the truthful

tongue of His beloved Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص, “Is there anyone who wants his needs to be fulfilled?” How many wake

up in the night. How many line up before Allah هلالج لج. These rulers can’t do anything to us but we will see the

line and here is the King of the kings proclaiming. The truth is we haven’t recognized Allah هلالج لج. If we have

acquaintance with Allah هلالج لج, do you think single night will pass us without us asking Him هلالج لج. We would

have waked up. Here we have the heart stained with sins that has ended our acquaintance with Allah هلالج لج. Our

hearts have been stained with His هلالج لج disobedience that has ended our acquaintance with Allah هلالج لج. That is

why we don’t get the taufeeq to wake up for that Maula and infact many times, it is seen that people’s hands

too don’t rise up before Allah هلالج لج. Years and years of life passes away but there is not a single moment when

he asked Allah هلالج لج with complete trust in Him هلالج لج and firm belief. Not even one time. Or even if he has

asked, he didn’t come to the saff of His هلالج لج friends and asked.

The etiquettes of making duaa

The adaab of duaa is that we first praise Allah هلالج لج, we recite the durood sheriff and then we seek His هلالج لج

forgiveness so we come to His هلالج لج friends’ saff. Only after that, we should ask the needs of the dunya and

aakhirat. We have everything only at His door and that Maula is saying, “Come to me and I am the one Who

fulfill your needs.” Every lover of Allah هلالج لج has knocked only His هلالج لج door and He هلالج لج fulfilled their needs.

We have the same Allah هلالج لج now and He هلالج لج is present with all His power and strength; with all the treasure

of His rahmat and affection and even today He هلالج لج is the greatest of all. Allahu Akbar. When He هلالج لج comes

to dishonor someone, who can honor him. When He هلالج لج decides something, who can stop that. When He هلالج لج

has willed goodness for someone, who can change that goodness. When He هلالج لج comes to hold someone, who

can save him. He هلالج لج has power over every single thing, He هلالج لج is the protector, the kingdom of heavens and

earth is only in His هلالج لج hands. Neither the earth will move slightly without His هلالج لج permission nor will the

leaf fall from the tree without His هلالج لج permission. A drop of ocean doesn’t move without His هلالج لج permission.

How will my life progress without Him هلالج لج. Even if all the amils of the whole world gather together, they

can’t help without His هلالج لج will. Even if all the jinns, mankind gathers together, they can’t harm me to the

least without His هلالج لج will.

There is one Allah هلالج لج and so make it a habit to ask Him هلالج لج. This is the biggest wazeefah, biggest taweez,

biggest protection, protection against the befallen calamities and protection against the upcoming calamities.

Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص has said clearly that duaa is the weapon of the believer. So duaa is the protection from Allah هلالج لج.

That is why when Prophet هلالج لج enters his house, he makes duaa and when he leaves his house, he makes duaa.

Prophet هلالج لج said, “When a slave enters the house making duaa remembering Allah هلالج لج and when he eats

saying Bismillah, the shaitan says to his companions that they don’t have place to rest or place to eat.”

Because he has sought the protection from Allah هلالج لج and he has been protected and so there is no place for

them to stay or to have food. When a slave doesn’t remember Allah هلالج لج when he enters his house or when he

eats, the shaitan says to his companions, “Come all of you for we have got the place to stay and to eat.”

Leave the sins and the duaa will be your fortress and the weapon

We don’t give importance to the duaa and so the shayateen have made our houses as their camp and then we

say we have bandish, there is stain of blood in the clothes, the clothes have burnt, hole has formed in the

clothes and these things will happen for shaitan has been given power over all these things. I swear that when

you remove sins one by one from your house, increase the recitation of Quran in your house, let the people of

the house make it a habit to be in wudhu all the time, make duaa when you leave and enter the house, then

see how Allah هلالج لج gives you protection. But we don’t want to remove the sins from our homes, then how will

7

we get protection? When in every corner of our house, there is food for the shayateen and in every table

spread, we have food for them, they have food in our houses in the form of dirty magazines and from every

room, when we have the music coming out, then from where we will get the protection from the shayateen.

Duaa is a fortress and when one makes duaa, he comes to the protected fortress.

The morning and evening duaas taught by our beloved Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص has tremendous effect in them. When a

sahabi went out of his house, he made a duaa. He got the news that his house was burnt but he said, “My

house can’t get burnt.” The other person said that he has seen and come but the sahabi said, “My house can’t

get burnt.”When scrutinized, it was seen that houses on the either side of his house was burnt but his house

remained safe in between. When he was asked how he was that confident, he replied that he heard from the

truthful tongue of the Messenger ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص that whoever recites this duaa while leaving the house, Allah هلالج لج

protects his house. He had this yaqeen (firm belief) and we have the same Allah هلالج لج present even today and

He هلالج لج is present with all His هلالج لج strength and power. But we don’t have the strength in us, that is the trust in

Allah هلالج لج. We don’t have yaqeen in our hearts but it is a mere murmuring of words. We have started reading

duaas instead of making duaas and making duaas standing in the saff of friends of Allah هلالج لج has come to an

end. So my friends keep the duas with you and through this come your protection. You will get to love Allah

talluq. The heart will be peaceful and content and you will remain protected from هلالج لج and will get His هلالج لج

shayateen.

Here is the summary of what we read

1. Every human is sent with the tarruf of Allah هلالج لج. The maarifat and kurb of Allah هلالج لج has no limit but

keeps increasing with one’s obedience to Allah هلالج لج and abstaining from the sins.

2. The shirk and other sins deprives one of the maarifat of Allah هلالج لج which makes him bow down before

ghairullah and remains a beggar to everyone while one blessed with maarifat of Allah هلالج لج present his

needs only before Allah هلالج لج and thereby remains content and peaceful without depending on others.

3. Duaa has to be made coming to the saff of the friends of Allah هلالج لج by repenting from sins for every sin is

a characteristic and inherent quality of one of his enemies.

4. The three conditions for the duaa to serve as a weapon, that is to be accepted is

i. Duaa has to be made with complete trust and yaqeen in Allah هلالج لج

ii. The mazmoon (subject) of the duaa should be correct

iii. There should not be any barrier, the sins while making duaas. The barrier can be removed by

sincere repentance.

5. Duaa is the essence of all the worships and Allah هلالج لج loves the person who makes duaa for it expresses

the slavery in its full form for he slave shows himself as a needy, dependant on Allah هلالج لج, confesses His

greatness and proclaims His هلالج لج majesty.

8

6. Our beloved Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص had the habit of making duas to Allah هلالج لج from smallest of the smallest things

to the biggest things in every situation of his ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص life. Beautiful duaas are taught by our beloved Prophet

.that can be taught only by the Prophet of Allah ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص

7. Allah هلالج لج himself guarantees that He هلالج لج answers the duaa and all treasure is only in His هلالج لج hands and

none can benefit or harm us without His هلالج لج will and He هلالج لج is with full of wisdom, knowledge,

awareness, mercy and He هلالج لج grants the best to His هلالج لج slaves.

8. Duaa is the greatest wazeefah and the weapon and fortress of the believer and the duaas taught by our

beloved Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص has tremendous effect in them.

9. Duas should be made from heart and not said in mere words for duaa is the kaifiyat of the heart and not

just the tongue.

10. Make a habit ok making long, long duaas for duaas grants one maarifat of Allah هلالج لج and kurb of Allah

.the greatest thing to be enjoyed by the slave ,هلالج لج

Let Allah هلالج لج help us to act on all good we hear and we preach. Ameen.
