محاضرة بعنوان "الدعاء هو سلاح المؤمن" التي ألقاها السيد الحبيب كاظم السقاف وترجم من قبل الشيخ أحمد عبد في المسجد الماليزي، سيدني، استراليا. في دعاء: الإخلاص، الصبر، الطهارة الداخلية Lecture delivered by Habib Kadhim Al Saqqaf and translated by Shaykh Ahmed Abdo at the Malaysian Masjid, Sydney, Australia. And your Lord says: "Call on Me; I will answer your (Prayer)!" — Qur'an, sura 40 (Ghafir), ayat 60 There is a special emphasis on du'a in Muslim spirituality and early Muslims took great care to record the supplications of Muhammad and transmit them to subsequent generations. These traditions precipitated new genres of literature in which prophetic supplications were gathered together in single volumes that were memorized and taught. Collections such as Imam al-Nawawi's Kitab al-adhkar and Shams al-Din al-Jazari's al-Hisn al-Hasin exemplify this literary trend and gained significant currency among Muslim devotees keen to learn how Muhammad supplicated to God. However, Du'a literature is not restricted to prophetic supplications; many later Muslim scholars and sages composed their own supplications, often in elaborate rhyming prose that would be recited by their disciples. Popular du'as would include Jazuli's Dala'il al-Khayrat, which at its peak spread throughout the Muslim world, and Imam al-Shadhili's Hizb al-Bahr which also had widespread appeal.[citation needed] Du'a literature reaches its most lyrical form in the Munajat, or 'whispered intimate prayers' such as those of Ibn 'Ata Allah al-Iskandari. Among the shia schools, the Al-Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya records du'as attributed to Ali and his grandson Zayn al-Abidin. Special ingredient in the Dua: Sincerity, Patience, Purity Etiquette of Dua: Focus on the du'aa, concentrate on the fact that you're "talking" to Allah, and make sure that your heart is really into it. Supplicate during one of the times of response. Have a meek heart, full ofhumbleness, softness, an awareness of our smallness in the Presence of Allah. Face the qiblah (direction of the Ka'bah). Be in a state of wudhu. Raise your hands to Allah.
