Who’s This Book For?
This is a book of du‘ā’s. It’s primarily for everyone. But it’s specifically for you if:
- you are fond of Prophetic du‘ā’s and the du‘ā’s of the pious that are recognized and highlighted in the Qur’an or in the Sunnah;
- you’re looking for truly holistic du‘ā’s, through which you ask for the good of this life and the next life;
- you’re looking for truly holistic du‘ā’s, that are relevant regardless of your mood, day, status, or location;
- you’re looking for some popular du‘ā’s which you’ve been hearing frequently, but didn’t get the opportunity to read them in texts.
- you prefer reading your du‘ā’s in the Arabic Language; or
- you’re looking for more accurate meaning of the du‘ā’s you hear or read in Arabic.
How to Use This Book
If you’re reading these lines, it is sufficient an indication of your compassion to communicate with Allah. Rest assured, the book is here to help further strengthen that relationship and take it to the highest level possible, inshā Allāh.
The du‘ā’s compiled in the book are arranged in a flexible way that ensures your efficient communication with Him, while maintaining flexibility and easy reference.
Therefore, there’re a few ways through which you can use this book efficiently and develop a special love story with each du‘ā’ therein.
One of which is that you read the du‘ā’s in the sequence they come in, from the beginning of the book to the end. Of course, basing on your convenience.
Alternatively, you can browse through the Table of Contents and go through the categories, and then decide the category and the specific du‘ā’s that correspond to your current emotional and spiritual needs.
Also, du‘ā’s that originally come in first person singular are pluralized in a grey box beneath its English translation. However, du‘ā’s that originally come in first persons plurals are left intact.
Another way to use the book is to focus on one du‘ā’ and make it your central du‘ā’ for three days or a week before moving on to another du‘ā’. I will suggest this way if you are not familiar with the du‘ā’, or if you want to memorize them.
