Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barkatuh! Allah Subhanuhu wa Ta`ala says (interpretation of the meaning): "And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near (to them by My Knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me (without any mediator or intercessor). So let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led aright." (The Noble Qur'an: Surah #2, Ayah #186) We would like to share some invocations from the Noble Qur'an. Since these invocations are mentioned in Qur'an and are taught to us by Allah Subhanuhu wa Ta`ala Himself they are the best and perfect invocations. Du'a for acceptance of prayer & forgiveness Transliteration "Rabbi 'j'alni muqima's-Salaati wa min zurriyati; Rabbana wa taqqabal du'a'. Rabbana'ghfirli wa li walidayya wa lil-Mu'minina Yawma Yaqumul-Hisab." "Aye mere Rabb! Mujhe namaz qayem rakhne wala banaiye aur meri aulaad ko bhi; Aye humare Rabb! aur Aap meri du'a ko qubool farma lijiye." "Aye humare Rabb! Maghfirat farmaiyega meri aur mere waaldain ki aur sab Momino ki bhi jis Din Hisaab qaayem hoga." ( The Noble Qur'an: Surah-14 ~ Ayah-40-41 ) Translation "O my Lord! make me one who establishes regular Prayer, and also (raise such) among my offspring; O our Lord! and accept Thou my Prayer." "O our Lord! cover (us) with Thy Forgiveness - me, my parents, and (all) Believers, on the Day when the Reckoning will be established! " ( The Noble Qur'an: Surah-14 ~ Ayah-40-41 ) (Aameen) URL for Dua in Arabic & Urdu: http://www.alhudapk.com/reading-material/duas/qurani/qurani_dua/pic16.jpg ~ Please join ~ ~Precious_Teachings_Of_Islam~ http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/Precious_Teachings_Of_Islam/ ~Divine_Light_Of_Allah~ http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/Divine_Light_Of_Allah/join ~ALLAH_KA_NOOR~ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ALLAH_KA_NOOR/join ~And learn more about Islam~ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
