Allah's most beloved creation of all His creations is our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), whom we are obliged to honor and follow His sunnah (indicated path). If we talk about following, it is difficult to follow in everything today, however, is a Muslim looking for ease in this mortal world?
The peace and pleasure that awaits a devout Muslim is incomparably better for him than the pleasure and ease that he will receive in this mortal world.
Speaking of ease, Allah has granted many simple and easy methods through which a person will achieve His pleasure, for the sake of His favorite and the favorite of all creation - Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
There is one special action, a type of worship that Allah accepts strictly, no matter how and in what form a person performs it - this is the recitation of salawat (blessing) on the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Because of Allah's love for His Messenger, He accepts the blessing of a Muslim on Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
The most important thing is that Allah Himself blessed His Messenger in the Quran, and the Prophet and Angels also blessed the Prophet, as the Almighty said:
إن الله و ملائكته يصلون على النبي، يأيها الذين آمنوا صلوا عليه و سلموا تسليما
Meaning: " Verily, Allah and His Angels bless the Prophet. O you who believe! Bless and salute Him (the Prophet) "(Surah Al-Ahzab, verse 56). Also in this verse we see how the Almighty commanded the believers to bless the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
Accordingly, Allah, turning to believers, addresses all Muslims, regardless of which Sharia madhhab (school, teaching) of the four true madhhabs he belongs to.
There are many advantages of salawat, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
من صلى علي صلاة صلى عليه الله بها عشرا
Meaning: " Whoever blessed me once, Allah blesses that person ten times "(Imam Muslim). In this case, the blessing of Allah means His forgiveness, that is, ten forgiveness from Allah to this person.
Another hadith says:
من سره أن يلقى الله وهو عنه راض فليكثر من الصلاة على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم
Meaning: " Anyone who wants to please himself with meeting Allah and being pleased with him, let him bless me more "(ad-Dailami and Ibn Adi). The person who wants what is said in the hadith, let him follow what is written.
Scientists also say that if a person blesses the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while standing, then Allah forgives his sins until he sits down, but if he blesses while sitting, then Allah forgives his sins until he gets up, but if a person blesses The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) standing and sitting, then Allah asks him for all his sins.
Blessing in a dream
They say that if a person blesses the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in a dream, then Allah forgives his sins until he wakes up, as in the case of the mother of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him).
Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and his mother went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the conversation was long. Night came and the mother of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) fell asleep there.
When they were about to leave, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) suddenly asked: “ How is your condition? " He replied: " Well, however, here is my mother, I am not hiding anything from her (the fact that Abu Bakr accepted Islam, while His mother was still in polytheism). O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), pray for her, so that Allah will open her heart to Islam!»
At that moment, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made dua, and those who were next to Abu Bakr’s mother heard him whispering the words of the shahada, and suddenly, waking up, she said loudly: “I testify that there is no deity except Allah and Muhammad is His servant and messenger."
One of the followers of Sufism said that he had a neighbor who loved to drink, no matter how many instructions were given to him, he would not drink. One day, this neighbor drank heavily and died. After some time, the Sufi sees the deceased in a dream in expensive clothes and at a respectable level, the Sufi asked him: “How have you been awarded such degrees?” he replied: “Once, towards the end of my life, I visited a Majlis (Islamic meeting) and there one of the speakers told a hadith: “Whoever blesses Me loudly will have Paradise,” then the preacher said salavat loudly, I repeated it just as loudly him, for this Allah forgave me my previous sins” (ar-Ravzul-Faik, page 11).
If a person said salawat once and Allah granted him Paradise, think what a great reward awaits the one who persists in this! How could it be otherwise, every blessing reaches the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asks for the one who bless him!
The Messenger of Allah Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
حياتي خير لكم، تُحدثون، ويحدث لكم، ووفاتي خير لكم، يُعرض عليَّ أعمالكم، فما رأيت من خير حمدت الله عليه، وما رأيت من شر استغفرت الله لكم
Meaning: " My life is good for you - you tell me, and I tell you, my death is also good for you - your deeds show me, if your deeds are good, then I praise Allah, and if they are bad, then I ask Allah for forgiveness for you “(Hafiz al-Haythami said: “This hadith was narrated by al-Bazzara, his chain of transmitters is reliable”), there are many similar hadiths.
Blessing of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on a letter
We wrote about what the reward will be for the one who said salavat out loud, and what will happen to the one who simply wrote on paper, and is there a difference between pronouncing and writing. Yes, there is, of course, a difference in the amount of reward, but there is no difference in the reward itself; the one who spoke, as well as the one who wrote on paper, receive the reward. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
من صلى علي في كتابه لم تزل الملائكة تصلي عليه ما دام اسمي في ذلك الكتاب
Meaning: " The one who blessed Me on the letter, the Angels bless him as long as My name is on this letter "(at-Tabarani and others from AbuHuraira).
A form of blessing.
The minimal and simple form is the following, but the perfect form is better:
اللهم صل على محمد
« Allahumma salli ala Muhammad " is the smallest form. But it is best to say the following form from the minimal form:
اللهم صل على محمد و على آل محمد
« Allahumma salli ala Muhammad wa ala ali Muhammad " - this form came in an authentic hadith transmitted by Imam al-Bukhari.
As for perfect forms, there are a lot of them, but let’s give one as an example, very well known:
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ
« Allahumma salli ala Muhammad wa ala Ali Muhammad kama sallayta ala Ibrahim wa ala ali Ibrahim innaka hamidun majid"(this type of salawat is conveyed in reliable books of hadith).
Let every believer bless the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), because this makes him happy, and the Almighty will be pleased. In the hadith al-Qudsi, Allah said: “O Muhammad! Everyone seeks My pleasure, and I seek your pleasure,” which means the pleasure of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is the pleasure of Allah.
If a person cannot systematically and constantly bless the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on his own, then he needs to find a method for this. The best method is to enter the path of Sufism, this is the greatest path to cleansing your heart and soul from spiritual vices and achieving the pleasure of Allah.
A Sufi mentor (sheikh, teacher) teaches us the remembrance of Allah, as well as the blessings of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), giving us a daily task and an evening task (wird). A Muslim who has entered the tariqa already, as a task, blesses the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the morning and evening, at least two hundred times a day (as wird).
We said that one salawat saved a person from the punishment of the grave, and what reward and high position awaits the one who blesses our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) at least two hundred times!
May Allah help us in all good things.

Allah said: “Verily, Allah and His angels bless the Prophet. O you who believe! Bless him and greet him with peace! »
(Sura “Hosts”, verse 56).
Salawat has cosmic significance because Ahl ul-Bayt (A) is the “gate of Allah”, and through it (the mercy of Allah for creation). Therefore, by sending salawat, the believer joins the universal source of good and mercy. The whole Universe blesses the Prophet and his family (peace be upon them). They stand at the top of the cone of the universe, and therefore all our deeds, including prayer, fasting, hajj, zakat and so on, go back to Allah and are accepted only through the Prophet (S) and the family of the Prophet (S).
According to the above verse, salawat from Allah come to the Prophet (S), who thereby becomes, in the Quranic expression, “ mercy for the worlds" The second part of the verse says that a counter flow of salawat should flow from people to Allah through the Prophet (S).
Of course, this verse embraces along with the Prophet (S) the family of the Prophet (S), as the hadith says: “Whoever says salavat for me and does not say it for my family will not even feel the smell of Paradise.” (“Amali” Saduk, p. 167).
The Prophet (S) said: “ Say a lot of salavat for me. They will become a light in the grave, a light on the Sirat Bridge and a light in the next world.».
(“Bihar”, vol. 79, p. 64).
From him: “ The one who says salawat a thousand times on Friday, all the angels will ask for forgiveness for him.».
(“Jami Ahadith Shia”, volume 4, p. 178).
« The one who says salawat for me - I will become his intercessor on the Day of Judgment».
(“Fazailu l-khamsa”, volume 1, p. 208).
Imam Ali (A) said:
“The blessing of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and his family, erases sins better than water extinguishes fire. Saluting the Prophet is better than freeing a slave. And love for the Messenger of Allah is better than the blood of souls.” Or he said: “Than the blows of swords in the path of Allah.”
(“Reward of deeds” of Saduq, hadith 586).
He said: “The heavens are closed to every prayer until a blessing is sent down on Muhammad and his family, may Allah bless them.”
(“Reward of deeds” of Saduq, hadith 591).
Imam Sadiq (A) said: “ The dua will remain hidden until salawat is sounded for Muhammad and the family of Muhammad (S)».
(“Kafi”, volume 4, p. 247).
From him: “Whoever reads the dua and does not say salawat to Muhammad and the family of Muhammad (S) - his dua will flutter over his head. When he does this, his dua will rise up.”
(“Kafi”, volume 4, p. 248).
“If the name of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and his family, is mentioned, then send many blessings on him. Whoever sends one blessing on the Prophet, Allah will bless him a thousand times in a thousand ranks of angels. And there will be nothing left that Allah has created that does not bless the slave whom Allah has blessed and the angels have blessed. Only the proud ignorant does not want to do this, and Allah and His Messenger have nothing to do with him.”
(“Reward of deeds” of Saduq, hadith 587).
Abdussalam ibn Nuaim narrates: “I told Imam Sadiq, may peace be upon him: “I entered the house (Kaaba) and nothing came to my mind from the prayer except the blessing of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and his family.” He said: “Not one came out of it with anything. better than that“What did you come out with?”
(“Reward of deeds” of Saduq, hadith 590).
Imam Reza (A) said: “Whoever recites salawat a hundred times on Friday, Allah will grant him sixty needs. Thirty of them are in the near world and thirty in the next world.”
(“Reward of deeds” of Saduq, hadith 594).
From Imam Kazim (A) that from the secrets of the family of Muhammad in the blessing of the Prophet and his family is this prayer: “O Allah! Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad among the first, and bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad among the last. Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad among the highest assembly, and bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad among the messengers. Oh Allah! Grant to Muhammad and the family of Muhammad mediation, honor, dignity and great degree. Oh Allah! I believed in Muhammad, although I had not seen him. Do not deprive me of the opportunity to see him on the day of judgment, endow me with communication with him, rest me in his religion and give me an abundant, pleasant and beneficial drink from his reservoir, after which I will never feel thirsty. Verily, You are powerful over every thing. Oh Allah! I believed in Muhammad, but did not see him, introduce me to him in the Gardens of Eden. Oh Allah! Bring many greetings from me to the soul of Muhammad.” Then Imam Kazim (A) said: “Whoever blesses the Prophet with this blessing, his sins will fall apart, his mistakes will be erased, he will be in joy, his prayer will be accepted, he will achieve his desires, his destiny will be expanded, he will be helped against his enemies, prepare for him the cause of all good things and he will become one of the companions of his prophet in the highest gardens of paradise.” And he said this three times in the morning and three times in the evening.”

Allahumma salli Alya muhammadin wa aali muhammadin fil awvalin wa salli Alya muhammadin wa aali muhammadin fil aharin wa salli Alya muhammadin wa aali muhammadin fil malai l-aala wa salli Alya muhammadin wa aali muhammadin fil mursaliin.

Allahumma ballig ruha muhammadin Anni tahiyatan kasiratan wa salaman.
(“Sawabu l-amal”, p. 188).
According to these and other hadiths, the meaning of salawat is as follows:
1. The most valuable of deeds;
2. Atonement for sins;
3. The key to accepting dua;
4. Receiving forgiveness;
5. Treatment for diseases, especially forgetfulness;
6. Conditions for accepting obligatory prayers.

Said in Holy Quran:
“Your Lord commanded: “Call upon Me, I will satisfy your duas.”. (“Al-Mu’min”, “Ghafir”, 40/60).
“Speak to the Lord humbly and submissively. Verily, He does not love the ignorant.” (Al-A'raf, 7/55)
“When My servants ask you (O Muhammad) about Me, (let them know) because I am near and answer the call of those who pray when they call on Me.” (Al-Baqarah, 2/186)
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“Dua is worship (of Allah).” (Abu Dawud, Witr, 23; Ibn Majah, Dua, 1)
If after fard prayers there is no sunnah of prayers, for example, after prayers as-subh and al-asr, read istighfar (pray for forgiveness) 3 times.
أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ
"Astaghfiru-Llah" .
Meaning: “I ask the Almighty for forgiveness.”
Then they say:
اَلَّلهُمَّ اَنْتَ السَّلاَمُ ومِنْكَ السَّلاَمُ تَبَارَكْتَ يَا ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالاْكْرَامِ
“Allahumma antas-Salamu wa minkas-Salamu tabaraktya ya Zal-Jalali wal-Ikram.”
Meaning: “O Allah, You are the One Who has no faults, from You comes peace and security. O He Who possesses Greatness and Generosity." (Muslim “Masajid”, 135-136; Ibn Majah “Iqamat”, 32)
اَلَّلهُمَّ أعِنِي عَلَى ذَكْرِكَ و شُكْرِكَ وَ حُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ َ
“Allahumma ‘aynni ‘ala zikrika wa shukrika wa husni ‘ybadatik.”
Meaning:“O Allah, help me to remember You worthily, to thank You worthily and to worship You in the best way.” (Ahmad bin Hanbal V, 247)
Salavat is read both after fard and after sunnah prayers:
اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى ألِ مُحَمَّدٍ
“Allahumma salli ‘ala sayyidina Muhammad wa ‘ala a whether Muhammad."
Meaning: “O Allah, grant more greatness to our master Prophet Muhammad and His family.”
After Salavat they read:
سُبْحَانَ اَللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلهِ وَلاَ اِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ وَ اللهُ اَكْبَرُ
وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللهِ الْعَلِىِّ الْعَظِيمِ
“SubhanAllahi wal-hamdulillahi wa la illaha illa Allahu wa-Llahu Akbar. Wa la hawla wa la kuuuata illya billakhil ‘aliy-il-‘azim.
Meaning:“Allah is pure from the shortcomings attributed to Him by the unbelievers, praise be to Allah, there is no god but Allah, Allah is above all, there is no strength and protection except from Allah.”
مَا شَاءَ اللهُ كَانَ وَمَا لَم يَشَاءْ لَمْ يَكُنْ
“Masha Allahu kyana wa ma lam Yasha lam yakun.”
Meaning: “What Allah wanted will happen and what Allah did not want will not happen.”
After this, read “Ayat al-Kursiy”.
اعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
“A’uzu billahi minash-shaitanir-rajim. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim"
The meaning of A'uzu: “I seek the protection of Allah from the shaitan, who is far from His Mercy. In the Name of Allah, the Merciful for everyone in this world and the Merciful only for the believers in the End of the World.”
اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَلَا يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ
"Allahu la ilah a illya hual hayyul kayum, la ta huzuhu sinatu-wala naum, lyahu ma fis samauati ua ma fil ard, man zallyazi yashfa'u 'yndahu illya bi of them, ya'lamu ma bayna aidihim wa ma halfahum wa la yukhituna bi shayim-min' ylmihi illya bima sha, wasi'a kursiyuhu ssama-uati wal ard, wa la yaudukhu hifzukhuma wa hual 'aliyul 'azi-ym.'
The meaning of Ayat al-Kursi: “Allah - there is no deity except Him, the eternally Living, Existing One. Neither drowsiness nor sleep has power over Him. To Him belongs what is in heaven and what is on earth. Who will intercede before Him without His permission? He knows what happened before people and what will happen after them. People comprehend from His knowledge only what He wills. Heaven and earth are subject to Him. It is not a burden for Him to protect them; He is the Most High.” (“Al-Baqarah”, 2/255)
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“Whoever reads Ayat al-Kursi and Surah Ikhlas after fard prayer will not be prevented from entering Paradise.”. (Sanani Sububulus-Salam I, 200)
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Who, after each prayer, says “Subhana-Allah” 33 times, “Alhamdulil-Llah” 33 times, “Allahu Akbar” 33 times, and for the hundredth time says “La ilaha illa Allahu wahdahu la sharika Laah, lahuul mulku wa lahuul hamdu wa” hua'ala kulli shayin kadir,” Allah will forgive his sins, even if there are as many of them as foam in the sea.”.
Then the following dhikrs are read sequentially:
After this they read:
لاَ اِلَهَ اِلاَّ اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ.لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ
وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
“La ilaha illa Allahu wahdahu la sharika Lyakh, lahalul mulku wa lahalul hamdu wa hua’ a la kulli shayin kadir.”
Then they raise their hands to chest level, palms up, and read the dua that the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) read or any other dua that does not contradict Sharia.
Du'a is serviceAllah
Du'a is one of the forms of worship of Allah Almighty. When a person makes a request to the Creator, by this action he confirms his belief that only Allah Almighty can give a person everything he needs; that He is the only one on whom one should rely and to whom one should turn with prayers. Allah loves those who turn to Him as often as possible with various (permissible according to Shariah) requests.
Du'a is a Muslim's weapon given to him by Allah. Once the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) asked:
“Do you want me to teach you a remedy that will help you overcome the misfortunes and troubles that have befallen you?”.
"We want", - answered the companions.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) replied:
“If you read the du’a “La illaha illa anta subhanakya inni kuntu minaz-zalimin “, and if you read a du’a for a brother in faith who is absent at that moment, then the du’a will be accepted by the Almighty.” Angels stand next to the person reading the du’a and say: “Amen. May the same happen to you."(Muslim)
Du'a is an ibadat rewarded by Allah and there is a certain order for its implementation:
Du'a should begin with words of praise to Allah: “Alhamdulillahi Rabbil ‘alamin”, then you need to read the salawat to the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam): “Allahumma salli ‘ala ali Muhammadin wa sallam”, then you need to repent of your sins: "Astagfirullah".
It is reported that Fadal bin Ubayd (radiallahu ‘anhu) said: “(Once) the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) heard how one person, during his prayer, began to make supplications to Allah, without glorifying (before) Allah and without turning to Him with prayers for the Prophet, (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) wa sallam), and the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: “This (man) was in a hurry!”, - after which he called him over and said to him /or: ...to someone else/:
“When any of you (wants) to turn to Allah with a prayer, let him begin by giving praise to his Glorious Lord and glorifying Him, then let him invoke blessings on the Prophet,” (PBUH) - “ and only then asks for what he wants.” (Abu Dawud, Witr 23; At-Tirmidhi, Daawat, 65)
Caliph Umar (radiallahu 'anhu) said: "Our prayers reach celestial spheres called “Sama” and “Arsha” and are there until we say salawat to Muhammad(sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) , and only after that they reach the Divine Throne.” (Tirmidhi, “Vitir”, 21. 250 a. At-Tirmidhi, 3556, Abu Dawud 1488)
2. If the du’a contains important requests, then before it begins, you must perform ablution, and if it is very important, you must perform ablution of the whole body.
3. When reading the du'a, it is advisable to turn your face towards the Qibla.
4. Hands should be held in front of the face, palms up. After completing the du’a, you need to run your hands over your face so that the barakah with which the outstretched hands are filled touches your face. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
« Verily, your Lord, the Living, the Generous, cannot refuse His servant if he raises his hands in supplication.”(Muslim, 895, Al-Bukhari I, 6341)
Anas (radiallahu ‘anhu) reports that during the dua, the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) raised his hands so much that the whiteness of his armpits was visible.
5. The request must be made in a respectful tone, quietly, so that others do not hear, and one should not turn one’s gaze to the heavens.
6. At the end of the du’a, one must, as at the beginning, pronounce words of praise to Allah and salawat to the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) then say:
سُبْحَانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ .
وَسَلَامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ .وَالْحَمْدُ لِلهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
"Subhana Rabbikya Rabbil 'izatti 'amma yasifuna wa salamun 'alal mursalina wal-hamdulillahi Rabbil 'alamin" .
When Allah accepts du'a first of all?
At the certain time: the month of Ramadan, the Night of Laylat-ul-Qadr, the night of the 15th of Shaaban, both nights of the holiday (Eid al-Adha and Kurban Bayram), the last third of the night, the night and day of Friday, the time from the beginning of dawn until the appearance of the sun, from the beginning sunset and until its completion, the period between adhan and iqama, the time when the imam began Juma prayer and until its end.
For certain actions: after reading the Koran, while drinking zamzam water, during rain, during sajd, during dhikr.
In certain places: in the places of Hajj (Mount Arafat, Mina and Muzdalif valleys, near the Kaaba, etc.), next to the Zamzam spring, next to the grave of the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam).
Du'a after prayer
“Sayidul-istigfar” (Lord of prayers of repentance )
اَللَّهُمَّ أنْتَ رَبِّي لاَاِلَهَ اِلاَّ اَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِي وَاَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَاَنَا عَلىَ عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَااسْتَطَعْتُ أعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ أبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَىَّ وَاَبُوءُ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْليِ فَاِنَّهُ لاَيَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ اِلاَّ اَنْتَ
“Allahumma anta Rabbi, la ilaha illya anta, halyaktani wa ana abduk, wa ana a’la a’khdike wa wa’dike mastata’tu. A’uzu bikya min sharri ma sanat’u, abuu lakya bi-ni’metikya ‘aleyya ua abu bizanbi fagfir lii fa-innahu la yagfiruz-zunuba illya ante.”
Meaning: “My Allah! You are my Lord. There is no god other than You worthy of worship. You created me. I am your slave. And I try to the best of my ability to keep my oath of obedience and fidelity to You. I resort to You from the evil of the mistakes and sins I have committed. I thank You for all the blessings You have given, and I ask you to forgive my sins. Grant me forgiveness, for there is no one but You who forgives sins.”
The Messenger of Allah Almighty (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) said:
“Whoever utters these words with faith in his heart during the day and dies on this day will become one of the inhabitants of Paradise before evening. Whoever utters these words with faith in his heart at night and dies that night will become one of the inhabitants of Paradise before dawn.”(Bukhari, Daavat, 2)
أللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا صَلاَتَنَا وَصِيَامَنَا وَقِيَامَنَا وَقِرَاءتَنَا وَرُكُو عَنَا وَسُجُودَنَا وَقُعُودَنَا وَتَسْبِيحَنَا وَتَهْلِيلَنَا وَتَخَشُعَنَا وَتَضَرَّعَنَا.

“Allahumma, takabbal minna Salyatana wa syamana wa kyamana wa kyraatana wa ruku'ana wa sujudana wa ku'udana wa tasbihana uatahlilyana wa takhashshu'ana wa tadarru'ana. Allahumma, tammim taksyrana wa takabbal tamamana wastajib du'aana wa gfir ahyaana wa rham mautana ya maulana. Allahumma, khfazna ya fayyad min jami'i l-balaya wal-amrad.

Meaning: “Oh, Allah, accept from us our prayer, and our fasting, our standing before You, and reading the Koran, and bowing from the waist, and bowing to the ground, and sitting before You, and praising You, and recognizing You as the only One, and our humility, and our respect! O Allah, fill our gaps in prayer, accept our correct actions, answer our prayers, forgive the sins of the living and have mercy on the deceased, O our Lord! Oh Allah, oh Most Generous, protect us from all troubles and illnesses.
O Allah, accept our prayers farz and sunnah, with all our omissions, according to Your mercy and generosity, but do not throw our prayers in our faces, O Lord of the worlds, O best of Helpers! May we rest as Muslims and join us among the righteous. May Allah Almighty bless the best of his creations to Muhammad, his relatives and all his companions.”
اللهُمَّ اِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ, وَمِنْ عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ, وَمِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ, وَمِنْ شَرِّفِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ
"Allahumma, innn a'uzu bi-kya min "azabi-l-kabri, wa min 'azabi jahanna-ma, wa min fitnati-l-makhya wa-l-mamati wa min sharri fitnati-l-masihi-d-dajjali !
Meaning: “O Allah, verily, I seek refuge in You from the torment of the grave, from the torment of hell, from the temptations of life and death, and from the evil temptation of al-masih d-dajjal (Antichrist).”
اللهُمَّ اِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْبُخْلِ, وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْخُبْنِ, وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أَنْ اُرَدَّ اِلَى أَرْذَلِ الْعُمْرِ, وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَعَذابِ الْقَبْرِ
“Allahumma, inni a'uzu bi-kya min al-bukhli, wa a'uzu bi-kya min al-jubni, wa a'uzu bi-kya min an uradda ila arzali-l-'die wa a'uzu bi-kya min fitnati-d-dunya wa 'azabi-l-kabri."
Meaning: “O Allah, verily, I resort to You from stinginess, and I resort to You from cowardice, and I resort to You from helpless old age, and I resort to You from the temptations of this world and the torments of the grave.”
اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ ليِ ذَنْبِي كُلَّهُ, دِقَّهُ و جِلَّهُ, وَأَوَّلَهُ وَاَخِرَهُ وَعَلاَ نِيَتَهُ وَسِرَّهُ
“Allahumma-gfir li zanbi kulla-hu, dikka-hu wa jillahu, wa aualya-hu wa ahira-hu, wa ‘alaniyata-hu wa sirra-hu!”
Meaning:“Oh Allah, forgive me all my sins, small and large, first and last, obvious and secret!”
اللهُمَّ اِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ, وَبِمُعَا فَاتِكَ مِنْ عُقُوبَتِكَ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْكَ لاَاُحْصِي ثَنَا ءً عَلَيْكَ أَنْتَ كَمَا أَثْنَيْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِك
“Allahumma, inni a'uzu bi-rida-kya min sahati-kya wa bi-mu'afati-kya min 'ukubati-kya wa a'uzu bi-kya min-kya, la uhsy sanaan 'alai-kya Anta kya- ma asnayta 'ala nafsi-kya.”
Meaning:“O Allah, verily, I seek refuge in Your favor from Your indignation and Your forgiveness from Your punishment, and I seek refuge in You from You! I cannot count all the praises that You are worthy of, for only You Yourself have given them to Yourself in sufficient measure.”
رَبَّنَا لاَ تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْلَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْوَهَّابُ
“Rabbana la tuzig kulubana ba’da from hadeitan wa hablana min ladunkarakhmanan innaka entel-wahab.”
Meaning: “Our Lord! Once You have directed our hearts to the straight path, do not turn them away (from it). Grant us mercy from You, for truly You are the giver.”
رَبَّنَا لاَ تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا رَبَّنَا وَلاَ تَحْمِلْ
عَلَيْنَا إِصْراً كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا رَبَّنَا وَلاَ
تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لاَ طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا
أَنتَ مَوْلاَنَا فَانصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ .
“Rabbana la tuakhyzna in-nasina au akhta'na, Rabbana wa la tahmil 'aleina isran kema hamaltahu 'alal-lyazina min kablina, Rabbana wa la tuhammilna malya takatalana bihi wa'fu'anna uagfirlyana warhamna, ante maulana fansurna 'alal kaumil kafirin "
Meaning: “Our Lord! Don't punish us if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord! Do not place on us the burdens that you placed on previous generations. Our Lord! Don't put on us what we can't do. Have pity, forgive us and have mercy, You are our ruler. So help us against the unbelieving people.”
The Prophet (PBUH) said:
WHAT TO READ AFTER NAMAZ
It is said in the Holy Quran: “Your Lord has commanded: “Call upon Me, I will satisfy your duas.” “Speak to the Lord humbly and submissively. Verily, He does not love the ignorant.”
“When My servants ask you (O Muhammad) about Me, (let them know) because I am near and answer the call of those who pray when they call on Me.”
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Dua is worship (of Allah).”
If after fard prayers there is no sunnah of prayers, for example, after as-subh and al-asr prayers, read istighfar 3 times
أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ
"Astaghfiru-Allah".240
Meaning: I ask the Almighty for forgiveness.
Then they say:
اَلَّلهُمَّ اَنْتَ السَّلاَمُ ومِنْكَ السَّلاَمُ تَبَارَكْتَ يَا ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالاْكْرَامِ
“Allahumma antas-Salamu wa minkas-Salamu tabaraktya ya Zal-Jalali wal-Ikram.”
Meaning: “O Allah, You are the One Who has no faults, from You comes peace and security. O He Who possesses Greatness and Generosity."
اَلَّلهُمَّ أعِنِي عَلَى ذَكْرِكَ و شُكْرِكَ وَ حُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ َ
“Allahumma ‘aynni ‘ala zikrikya wa shukrikya wa husni ‘ybadatik.”
Meaning: “O Allah, help me to remember You worthily, to thank You worthily and to worship You in the best way.”
Salavat is read both after fard and after sunnah prayers:
اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى ألِ مُحَمَّدٍ
“Allahumma salli ‘ala sayyidina Muhammad wa ‘ala ali Muhammad.”
Meaning: “O Allah, grant more greatness to our master Prophet Muhammad and His family.”
After Salavat they read:
سُبْحَانَ اَللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلهِ وَلاَ اِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ وَ اللهُ اَكْبَرُ
وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللهِ الْعَلِىِّ الْعَظِيمِ
مَا شَاءَ اللهُ كَانَ وَمَا لَم يَشَاءْ لَمْ يَكُنْ
“SubhanAllahi wal-hamdulillahi wa la illaha illa Allahu wa-Llahu Akbar. Wa la hawla wa la quwvata illya billahil ‘aliy-il-‘azim. Masha Allahu kyana wa ma lam Yasha lam yakun.”
Meaning: “Allah is pure from the shortcomings attributed to Him by the unbelievers, praise be to Allah, there is no god but Allah, Allah is above all, there is no strength and protection except from Allah. What Allah wanted will happen and what Allah did not want will not happen.”
After this, read “Ayat al-Kursiy”. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Whoever reads Ayat al-Kursi and Surah Ikhlas after fard prayer will not be prevented from entering Paradise.”
“A’uzu billahi minash-shaitanir-rajim Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim”
“Allahu la ilaha illya hual hayyul kayum, la ta huzuhu sinatu-wala naum, lahu ma fis samauati wa ma fil ard, man zallyazi yashfa'u 'yndahu illa bi of them, ya'lamu ma bayna aidihim wa ma halfahum wa la yukhituna bi Shayim-min 'ylmihi illya bima sha, wasi'a kursiyuhu ssama-uati wal ard, wa la yauduhu hifzukhuma wa hual 'aliyul 'azi-ym.'
The meaning of A'uzu: “I seek the protection of Allah from the shaitan, who is far from His Mercy. In the Name of Allah, the Merciful for everyone in this world and the Merciful only for the believers in the End of the World.”
The meaning of Ayat al-Kursi: “Allah - there is no deity except Him, the eternally Living, Existing One. Neither drowsiness nor sleep has power over Him. To Him belongs what is in heaven and what is on earth. Who will intercede before Him without His permission? He knows what happened before people and what will happen after them. People comprehend from His knowledge only what He wills. Heaven and earth are subject to Him. It is not a burden for Him to protect them; He is the Most High.”
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Whoever after each prayer says “Subhan-Allah” 33 times, “Alhamdulil-Llah” 33 times, “Allahu Akbar” 33 times, and for the hundredth time says “La ilaha illa Allahu wahdahu” la sharika Lyakh, lahalul mulku wa lahalul hamdu wa hua 'ala kulli shayin kadir,” Allah will forgive his sins, even if there are as many of them as foam in the sea.”
Then the following dhikrs are read sequentially246:
33 times “SubhanAllah”;
سُبْحَانَ اللهِ
33 times “Alhamdulillah”;
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ
“Allahu Akbar” 33 times.
اَللَّهُ اَكْبَرُ
After this they read:
لاَ اِلَهَ اِلاَّ اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ.لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ
وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
“La ilaha illa Allahu wahdahu la sharika Laah, lahalul mulku wa lahalul hamdu wa hua ‘ala kulli shayin kadir.”
Then they raise their hands to chest level, palms up, and read the duas that the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) read or any other duas that do not contradict Sharia.
Du'a is service to ALLAH
Du'a is one of the forms of worship of Allah Almighty. When a person makes a request to the Creator, by this action he confirms his belief that only Allah Almighty can give a person everything he needs; that He is the only one on whom one should rely and to whom one should turn with prayers. Allah loves those who turn to Him as often as possible with various (permissible according to Shariah) requests.
Du'a is a Muslim's weapon given to him by Allah. Once the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) asked: “Do you want me to teach you a remedy that will help you overcome the misfortunes and troubles that have befallen you?” “We want to,” answered the companions. The Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) replied: “If you read the du’a “La illaha illa anta subhanakya inni kuntu minaz-zalimin247”, and if you read the du’a for a brother in faith who is absent at that moment, then the du’a will be accepted by the Almighty." Angels stand next to the person reading the du’a and say: “Amen. May the same happen to you."
Du'a is an ibadat rewarded by Allah and there is a certain order for its implementation:
1. Du'a must be read with the intention for the sake of Allah, turning your heart to the Creator.
The du'a should begin with the words of praise to Allah: "Alhamdulillahi Rabbil 'alamin", then you need to read the salawat to the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam): "Allahumma salli 'ala ali Muhammadin wa sallam", then you need to repent of your sins: "Astagfirullah" .
It is reported that Fadal bin Ubayd (radiyallahu anhu) said: “(Once) the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) heard how one person, during his prayer, began to make supplications to Allah, without glorifying (before) Allah and not turning to Him with prayers for the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “This (man) hastened!”, after which he called him to himself and said to him/or: …to someone else/:
“When any of you (wants) to turn to Allah with a prayer, let him begin by giving praise to his Glorious Lord and glorifying Him, then let him invoke blessings on the Prophet,” (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), “and only then asks for what he wants.”
Caliph Umar (may Allah's mercy be upon him) said: “Our prayers reach the heavenly spheres called “Sama” and “Arsha” and remain there until we say salawat to Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and only after that they reach the Divine throne.”
2. If the du’a contains important requests, then before it begins, you must perform ablution, and if it is very important, you must perform ablution of the whole body.
3. When reading the du'a, it is advisable to turn your face towards the Qibla.
4. Hands should be held in front of the face, palms up. After completing the du'a, you need to run your hands over your face so that the barakah with which the outstretched hands are filled also touches your face. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Truly, your Lord, the Living, the Generous, cannot refuse His servant if he raises his hands in supplication"
Anas (radiyallahu anhu) reports that during the dua, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) raised his hands so much that the whiteness of his armpits was visible."
5. The request must be made in a respectful tone, quietly, so that others do not hear, and one should not turn one’s gaze to the heavens.
6. At the end of the du’a, you must, as at the beginning, pronounce words of praise to Allah and salawat to the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) then say:
سُبْحَانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ .
وَسَلَامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ .وَالْحَمْدُ لِلهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
"Subhana Rabbikya Rabbil 'izatti 'amma yasifuna wa salamun 'alal mursalina wal-hamdulillahi Rabbil 'alamin."
When does Allah accept du'a first?
At certain times: the month of Ramadan, the Night of Laylat-ul-Qadr, the night of the 15th of Sha'ban, both nights of the holiday (Eid al-Adha and Kurban Bayram), the last third of the night, the night and day of Friday, the time from the beginning of dawn to the appearance of the sun, from the beginning of sunset until its end, the period between adhan and iqama, the time when the imam began Juma prayer until its end.
During certain actions: after reading the Koran, while drinking zamzam water, during rain, during sajd, during dhikr.
In certain places: in the places of Hajj (Mount Arafat, Mina and Muzdalif valleys, near the Kaaba, etc.), next to the Zamzam spring, next to the grave of the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
Du'a after prayer
“Sayidul-istigfar” (Lord of prayers of repentance)
اَللَّهُمَّ أنْتَ رَبِّي لاَاِلَهَ اِلاَّ اَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِي وَاَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَاَنَا عَلىَ عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَااسْتَطَعْتُ أعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ أبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَىَّ وَاَبُوءُ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْليِ فَاِنَّهُ لاَيَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ اِلاَّ اَنْتَ

رَبَّنَا لاَ تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْلَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْوَهَّابُ

رَبَّنَا لاَ تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا رَبَّنَا وَلاَ تَحْمِلْ
عَلَيْنَا إِصْراً كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا رَبَّنَا وَلاَ
تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لاَ طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا
أَنتَ مَوْلاَنَا فَانصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ .
