believer; Du’a is a most excellent act before Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ; Du’a is beneficial in times of troubles; Du’a brings about salvation from the enemy and an increase in sustenance; Du’a is answered if Salat-’Alan-Nabi is recited before and after. It is very effective for Du’a to be answered if it is made by mentioning the favourite names of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

A good deed should be performed and then through the Waseelah (medium) of that good deed, Du’a should be made as it is a very important source by which a Du’a is answered. One should make Du’a with full attention and devotion, with conviction that his Du’a will be answered. To present the Waseelah of the saints in a Du’a also causes the Du’a to be answered. Blessings also lie in making Du’a together with pious people in a congregation. One should remember his parents, spiritual guide, teachers and all Muslims in his Du’a. Du’a should be made with humbleness by expressing helplessness. Even if a single tear drop comes out during the Du’a, it is a sign that the Du’a has been answered.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! In conclusion, I would like to take the opportunity to mention the excellence of Sunnah as well as some Sunan and manners. The Rasool of Rahmah, the Intercessor of the Ummah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘Whoever loves my Sunnah, loves me, and whoever loves me will be with me in Jannah.’ (Ibn ‘Asakir, vol. 9, pp. 343)

سینہ تری سُنَّت کا مدینہ بنے آقا

جنَّت میں پڑوسی مجھے تم اپنا بنانا

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب           صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
