Meaning of Dua

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

The Prophet took the hand of Hadrat Muadh ibn Jabal (r.a.) and said to him, "O Mu'adh, I love you!"  Hadrat Mu'adh (r.a.) responded, "May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah (saws); I love you too." Then the Prophet (saws) said, "I advise you, O Mu'adh, say at the end of every prayer,  ‘Allahumma inni ala Zikrika wa Shukrika wa husni ibadatika’  (O Allah, aid me in Your Remembrance, Your thanks, and in perfecting Your worship)."

Related by Ahmad, Abu Dawud, an-Nasa'i, Ibn Khuzaimah, Ibn Hibban and al-Hakim.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,
