Urban Posted November 15, 2008 I know that Allah accepts all supplications during the final third of the night, and I'm not doubting that at all. But.. it feels like my prayers are not accepted, because I might not be meeting certain conditions or requirements. What do I have to do.. Sometimes I'm also lost for words when I try to say my prayers, I don't feel connected with Allah. I've lost count of how many times I've begged Allah to guide me and just give me a taste of that good stuff, "Khushuuc", but.. what steps do I have to take towards it?

winnie Posted November 15, 2008 Allah answers the call of every suppliant, so there are no requirements for your du'as to be answered, however there are conditions to ensure your du'as are not ignored. the ones i know of are: 1) your pillars must be established, and on time (your five daily salaats in particular) 2) you must rid yourself of major sins, and things that weaken your faith. 3) ensure your food is halal 4) ensure your wealth is halal 5) connecting, or staying connected with the family (your mother in particular). Khushoo is something you can nurture. Extract the things that distract you (music i think should be on everyone's list and SOL somewhere in the top 5). Make sure the space you do your salat in is clean with very few visual and audio distractions. Schedule your salaats the day before. We have busy lives, and sometimes have to rush our salaats because we didnt plan it into our daily affairs. Make du'a before the salaat, or learn some new ones and recite them before salaat. Call the adhan, or if you are at the mosque, reply to it. Think of your salaat as your last salaat before you die. Your very last one, and every time you get up for the next rak'ah renew your intentions and revive the image/knowledge that you are standing before your Lord. Recite suratul fatiha slowly, and with understanding, for Allah replies to it. Recite some new surahs. Switch it up a bit, and if you are not an arabic speaker than learn what you are saying (at least the gist of it). Sometimes doing a little inventory helps as well. Take a look at your actions/ morals and how they stand lately; see if there is something you can improve or rid yourself of, like lying, backbiting or miserliness. I read an ayat recently in suratu tawbah stating that whomever breaks a promise with Allah, than Allah places hypocrisy in his/her heart until the day of judgement... Hypocrisy is something we all have to protect ourselves from, whether it is purposeful or unintentional, since once it is deposited in the heart, it infects everything else. That is pretty much what I have learned, and Allah knows best. I hope this was helpful (it was helpful for me, I like these reminders). I pray that Allah gives you success in this world and in the next, amiin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nur Posted November 16, 2008 Urban bro. Here is a write up of mine about the topic. ( Dont get discouraged by the Somali language, its worth the troble ) Ducada Ha Ka daalina! Walaal, sidaan wada ognahay, xidhiidhka ka dhexeeya dadka iyo Rabbigooda wa cibaadada, taasoo macnehhedu yahay in loo hoggnasamo kii na uumay oon jeclaanno, kana cabsanno. Cibaadadu hadaba waa xarigga nagu xira Rabbigeenna, xariggaasna waa Ducada, oo ah qoraalkan maanta waxuu ku saabsan yahay. Ducada waxa ku so arooray Quraanka: " Rabbigiinna wuxuu yidhi, i barya, waan idiin dhago nuglaanee ( aqbalayaa ducadiinna), kuwa iskala weyn iney i hoggaanasmaan, Jahannama ayey galaan ayagoo ku waaraya" "Haddii ay adoonteydu i kaa wareysato ( Maxamadoow), Anugu waan dhowahay, waan ajiibaa ( u yeelaa wexey doonayaan) baryada kan ii barya, hadaba (addoonteyda) ha ii dhago nuglaato, hana i rumeeyaan, waa intaasooy waddada toosan qabsadaanee" Ducada waxaa ku soo arooray Sunnada SAWS ee carfoon. 1. Cibaadaduba waa Ducada, Rabbigiinna wuxuu yidi " i barya waan idiin dhago nuglaanee" 2. Rabbigiinna, Barakeysanoo Saremaray, waa xishhodaa, waana deeqsi, , wuu ka xishoodaa in addoonkiisu uu gacmihiisa kor u taago inuu soo celiyo faro madhnaan" 3. Ma jiro qof Muslim ah oo Allah ku barya duco ayan n ku jirin dambi falid ama qaraabo jarid, oon Ducadaas Allah ku siinin seddex midkood: a). In loo soo dadajiyo ducaadaasoo la siiyo wuxuu baryay b) In aakhiro loogu keydsho c) In looga celiyo ducadaas wax u dhigma uu dhibaato ku soo socotay" . Markaasey ( saxaabadii yidhahdeen) " Hadaba ( ducada) waan badineynaa" Markaasuu Rasuulku SAWWS yidhi " ( Allah ka badan)" Aadaabta Ducada: 1. Ikhlaas : Iney kaa dhab tahay oo Allah oo qudha aad ula jeeddo 2. Inaad ku bilowdid Mahadnaqa Allah, faankiisa, iyo Nabiga ood ku salliso 3. Allah oo qudha inaad rajeyneyso, kuna kalsoontahay inuusan qofaan asaga aheyn wax kuu qaban karin. 4. Ku celcelin badan ( Allah ma daalo, adiga ha daalin, kumana ku dhibsado, ee ducadiisa ha dhibsan) 5. Qalbigaaga oo ku foojigan Ducada aad ku duceysaneyso 6. Inaad duceysato marwalba, hanoqoto inaad wanaag ku jirto, ama aad dhibaato ku sugan tahay. 7. Qofaan Allah aheyn ducadaada wax ha ku warsan ( Mataal: "ilaahayow, iyo sheekh Awliyoow", waa dambi) 8. Ducada ha ku habaarin reerkaaga, maalkaaga, dhallankaaga, iyo naftaada: Macneheeda waa ha is habaarin, maxaa yeelay Allah waa naxariis badan yahayee ee warso caafimaad iyo wanaag. Nin Gabayaa ah oo la odhan jirey Al Mutanabi ayaa wuxuu ku gabyay: " Kafaa bika daa' an, an taral mawta shaafiyaa. Wa xasbul manaayaa an yakunna amaaniyaa" Waxaa cudur kaaga filan inaad daawo ka raadiso geerida, geeridana xumaan waxaa ugu filan iney noqoto wax la hiigsado" 9. Markamla duceysanayo oo codka hoos loo dhigo, hana u dhexeeyo codkaagu kan qeylada ah iyo kan qarsoon. 10. Inaad qirsan tahay dambiyaashada, ood dambi dhaaf Allah warsato, iyo inaad dareensan tahay nicmooyinka aad ku jirto ood Allah ugu mahadnaqeyso 11. Markaad duceysaneyso, inaad is liiddo, madaxaagana hoos u dhigto 12. Haddad dad soo dhacday inaad u celiso xaqooga, ama aad niyeysato inaad celindoonto mar dhow. 13. Qiblada ood u jesato 14. Gacmaha ood cirka u taagto 15. Inaad weyso qabto 16.Inaadan qof ku habaarin ducadaas ( Mataal ahaan inaadan odhan "Allow reer Qansax cadaab") 17.Marka hore ducada naftaada ka billow, dabadeed waalidka, dabadeed dadka kale ( Rabbi ighfir lii wa li waalidayy) Allow ii dambidhaaf aniga iyo waaldkeyga. ( dayaaradah marka la raaco, suunka waa inaad adga xidhataa, dabadeed aad u xidhaa carruurta) 18. Allah inaad ku bariso magacyadiisa qurxan ( Asmaa'ul Xusnaa), ama ad magacowdo camal wanaagsanood samyesay Allah wajigiisa, ( Mataal: ilaahayow, haddaan dartaada bililiqada dadkii lahaa u celiyey, maal xalal ah i sii) ama aad Allah ku bariso qof Muslim ah oo nool oo saaliix ah ducadiisa. ( Mataal: inaad qofkaas warsa 19. Inaad hubiso intaadan duceysan inaad xalaal cunto, cato iyo inaad xidhato 20. Inaadan Qaraabo jarid ku duceysanin 21. Inaadan dambi ku jirin, ku fakareyn inaad sameyso ama aadan dad fareyn. Waqtiyaasha Ducada in la aqbalo: 1. Leylatul Qadr 2. Sag baddhka, intiisa dambe 3. Salaadaha faradka aha dabadood 4. Adaanka iyo iqaamada inta u dhexeysa 5. Saacad ka midah habeenka ( lama yaqaan, sida leylatul Qararka) 6. Marka la addimayo 7. Marka Roobka uu da'ayo 8. Marka dagaalka Allah dartiis cadowga Allah la is hortaagan yahay 9. Saacad ka mid ah maalinka Jimcaha ( waxaana culimada u bateen iney tahay casar gaabadka maalinka Jimcaha, qaarna wexey u badiyeen marka la khutbeynayo, ama slaatul Jumcaha nafteeda) 11. Markaa cabeyso biyaha Zamzam 12. Markaad Sujuudsan tahay 13. Markaad saqbadhkii soo toosto od u soo fadhiistao baryo Allah ood allah ku bariso ducooyinka ka sugnaaday Suubbanihii. 14. Markaad ducadaada raaciso aaydda " La ilaaha illla anta, subxaanaka inni kunto mina dhaalimiin" 15. Ducada dadka markuu qof dhinto 16. Ducada markaadAllah u mahadiso, ood Nabigana Ku salliso, taxiyaadka dambe 17. Markaad Allah ugu yeedho Magaciisa Weyn, oo haddii loogu yeedho uu aqbalo, oo haddii wax lagu warsado oo siiyo 18. Markuu qof Muslim ah qof kaloo Muslim ah ooy kal fogyihiin isu duceeyaan 19. Ducada maalinka laa taagan yahay CARAFA 20. Ducada Bisha Ranadaan 21.

Ducada lagu duceysto Kacbada Makka dhexdeeda 34 Ducada lagu duceysto Buurta Safa, iyo Marwa, iyo Mashcarka Xaraam Kuwaasi wa kuwo lagu gaar yeelay foojignaan, laakin qofka Muslimka , xaalad walba iyo meelwlba oo daahir ah waa looga aqbalaa inshaallah ducadiisa.. Walaal, qoraalkan gaadhsii intaa jeceshay, anigan ii soo ducee, maxaa yeelay ducada labada kala maqan waxaa sugnaatay in la aqbalo, iiguna soo ducee Al Fardows Al Aclaa, iyo inuu Allah ii barakeeyo howsha aan jeclahay oo ah inaan uunka ugu yeedho iney cibaado ku garyeelaan kii uumay.
