Du’a for removing grief and helplessness

In the Madani Halqahs of the weekly Sunnah-inspiring Ijtima’ of Dawat-e-Islami today, the Du’a for “removing grief and helplessness” will be taught as per the schedule. The Du’a is as follows:

اَللّٰھُمَّ  اِ نِّیْۤ   اَعُوْذُبِكَ  مِنَ الْھَمِّ وَ الْحُزْنِ، وَ  اَعُوْذُبِكَ  مِنَ الْعَجْزِ  وَ الْكَسَلِ،  وَ  اَعُوْذُ بِكَ  مِنَ  الْجُبْنِ  وَالْبُخْلِ، وَ  اَعُوْذُ بِكَ  مِنْ  غَلَبَۃِ  الدَّیْنِ  وَ  قَھْرِ الرِّجَالِ

Translation: O Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ)! I seek Your refuge from grief, helplessness, laziness, cowardice, miserliness, excessive debt and people’s wrath.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Method of collective Fikr-e-Madinah (72 Madani In’amaat)

Saying of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم: Pondering (over the Hereafter) for a moment is better than the worship of 60 years.

(Al-Jami’-us-Sagheer, pp. 365, Hadees 5897)

Let’s make “good intentions” before filling in the Madani In’amaat booklet:

1. To please Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, I will carry out today’s Fikr-e-Madinah (i.e. self-accountability) myself through the Madani In’amaat booklet and persuade others as well.

2. I will praise (i.e. thank) Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ for the Madani In’amaat which I practised.

3. I will regret the Madani In’amaat which I did not practise and try to act on them in the future.

4. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ forbid, if I have not acted on any such Madani In’aam which saves a person from the sins, I will make a firm intention of not committing sin in the future, along with making repentance and Istighfar.
