لَقَدْ جَآءَكُمْ رَسُوْلٌ مِّنْ اَنْفُسِكُمْ عَزِیْزٌ عَلَیْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ حَرِیْصٌ عَلَیْكُمْ بِالْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ رَءُوْفٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(۱۲۸)

Indeed there has come to you a Messenger from amongst yourselves; heavy upon him is your suffering, he desires your wellbeing immensely; utmost kind, merciful for the Muslims.

[Kanz-ul-Iman (translation of Quran)] (Part 11, Surah At-Taubah, Ayah 128)

Let’s listen to the affection and desire of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم for the wellbeing of his Ummah:

Du’as for Ummah

The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: Allah Almighty has bestowed me with 3 questions. I had requested 2 times (in this world): ‘اَللّٰہُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِاُمَّتِیْ اَللّٰہُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِاُمَّتِیْ’ O Allah Almighty! Forgive my Ummah. O Allah Almighty! Forgive my Ummah. ‘وَاَخَّرْتُ الثَّالِثَۃَ لِیَوْمٍ یَرْغَبُ اِلَیَّ الْخَلْقُ کُلُّہُمْ حَتّٰی اِبْرَاہِیمُ’ and the third request has been kept unused for that day in which, the creation will need me even (the Nabi of Allah Almighty) Sayyiduna Ibraheem عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام.

Remember! Sayyiduna Ibraheem عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام holds the most reverend status after the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in the Creation and he عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام too will be seeking the help of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

A’la Hadrat, Imam of Ahl-us-Sunnah, Maulana Shah Imam Ahmad Raza Khan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه has stated: O the sinners of the Ummah! Didn’t you see the extreme gentleness and mercy of your Master صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم on your condition, that he صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was granted 3 questions from the blessed court of Allah Almighty that ask whatever you want, you will be granted. The Rasool of Rahmah, the Intercessor of Ummah, the Distributor of Na’mah, the Owner of Jannah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم did not keep any question for his own blessed self. He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم utilized all questions for you. Two questions were asked in the
