Call on Me will give us a succinct digest of supplication: thus we shall learn the vital sciences of Dua’ with coverage from: What is Dua’? How is it done? Why Dua’? And many more.
It will be a discussion of minds, emotions, heads, hearts and souls. The import of it will be to help us connect spiritually with our souls to the Master of souls so that our poor voices would be heard by He who hears the whisper of the ant beneath the rocks at the sea shore.
To make it easily absorbable and practicable, I want to break it down to four bundles as follows:
1) Regarding the Caller
2) Regarding the Timing
3) Regarding the Setting
4) Regarding the Call.
Yet still, let us briefly look at the meaning of the term Dua.
Dua’ in Arabic simply means, ‘A CALL’. It may also means ‘WORSHIP’.
The Holy Qur’an says:
???? ??????? ??????? ???? ??????? ??????????? ?????? ??? ???????? ?????? ???????????? ??????????
Say: Call upon Allah or call upon The Most Merciful. Whichever [name] you call – to Him belong the best names.”….., [17:110].
The Messenger of Allah pbuh is reported to have said: “
???? ???????????? ???? ???????? ????? ??????? ??????? ?????? ????? ???????? ????????? ?????: ” ????? ?????????? ???? ???????????? ????? ?????????: {????????? ?????????? ??????} “
“Verily, Dua is [the reality of] Worship. Your Lord has said: “Call upon Me, I shall response to your calls.” [Qur’an 40:60]. [Abu Dawood 838].
Calling upon the Lord of the worlds is a command and a promise from the Almighty Allah. Thus we are rewarding for going by the command.
Hope these evidences are enough to satisfy you. If you think they are not still enough, follow me keenly and get to know other equally thirst quenching evidences about the subject. In fact you can even educate others about it better than I’m doing. Be concerned about what concerns you yet seek knowledge, for ignorance is a prison wherein the inmates are those who are reluctant when it comes to seeking knowledge. When you learn, you lead others aright and save them from captivity. But you don’t just learn anything, you seek beneficial knowledge and wisdom from the right sources with the proper ethics. Look for the write up on ethics of seeking knowledge. And as usual, when you sleep over the bed of heedlessness in your youth, then be sure to tread on the path of regret during old age.Let me hasten to reiterate that seeking knowledge frees you from the captivity and prison of ignorance and darkness. So my good friends, brothers and sisters in Islam, seek beneficial knowledge and wisdom with the correct ethics, aiming to benefit society with the knowledge and hoping for reward from the Almighty Allah. Laziness is very attractive to ignorance, so wherever there is laziness in the quest for knowledge, be certain to find ignorance married happily to Mr. laziness, making a perfect couple with darkness as their residence.
The Lord of the worlds does not fail and is never deserving of an attribute of Him as One Who fails in His promise. Grab this opportunity to to kill two birds with a single stone, because when you call on Allah, you are following the command and hence you get rewarded in addition to having your needs met.
