Modesty Of Our Pious Predecessors
* Do not exceed the limits in du’a, for example, by asking for the rank of the noble Prophets عَـلَـيْهِمُ الصَّلٰوة وَالسَّلام or desiring to ascend the heavens. It is also prohibited to ask for every goodness and every quality in both worlds, because those qualities also include the rank of the Prophets, which cannot be attained.[1]
* One should not make du’a for something that is impossible or close to impossible. Therefore, asking for perpetual health and well-being, such that a person does not fall into any hardship throughout their life, is to ask for something that is generally impossible. Likewise, it is prohibited for a tall person to make du’a to become shorter, or for a small-eyed individual to make du’a for larger eyes, because this is to make du’a for something which has already been ordained.[2]
* Do not make a du’a for something sinful, like another person’s wealth, as asking for something sinful is also a sin.[3]
* Do not make du’a for severing ties of kinship (for example, may so-and-so family quarrel with one another).[4]
Announcement:
The remaining etiquettes of making du’a will be learnt in the study circles. Therefore, take part in the study circles to learn about them.
