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.
Dua for Sincere Repentance
and for
the Relief from Distress
Transliteration
"Laa 'ilaaha illaa 'anta
subhaanaka;
'in-nee kuntu minaz-zalimeen."
(Aye Allah!)
"Aapke siwa koi (Sachcha) Ma'abood nahi
Aapki Zaat Paak hay;
Beshaq main qusoorwaar hoon."
( The
Noble Qur'an: Surah-21 ~ Ayah-87 )
Translation
"None has the right to be worshipped
but
You (O Allah)
Glorified (and Exalted) be You;
Truly, I have been of the wrongdoers."
( The
Noble Qur'an: Surah-21 ~ Ayah-87 )
(Aameen)
Prophet
Yunus (Jonah/Jonas) (alayh as-Salaam) was distraught
due to the refusal of his people in accepting the truth.
Upset, Yunus (alayh as-Salaam) abandoned his people,
while he was supposed to be persistent in sipte of initial failure.
During a ship voyage, sailors thought he was a bad omen and threw
him out of the ship.
Allah commanded a huge fish to swallow Yunus (alayh as-Salaam)
without hurting him or breaking his bones.
Yunus (alayh as-Salaam) realized that he had made a mistake
by leaving his town and its people without the permission of Allah.
This was why he was now imprisoned in this strange way
in the belly of a fish in the depths of the ocean.
Upon realizing his error, he repented sincerely to Allah,
and called out to his Lord in the following words:
"Laa 'ilaaha illaa 'anta subhaanaka 'in-nee kuntu minaz-zalimeen"
(There is no God but You, Glorified be You! Truly, I have been of the
wrongdoers.)
Allah was so pleased with his repentance that
He brought Yunus (alayh as-Salaam) out from the darkness of the
fish's belly,
and the fish threw Yunus (alayh as-Salaam) on a flat and plain
shore.
In the verse following this supplication, Allah mentions that
He responded and delivered Yunus (alayh as-Salaam) from the grief.
This verse (21:88) also tells us that Allah will deliver the
believers in a similar fashion
(if they make sincere repentance and seek forgiveness).
Prophet Muhammad (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam) said,
"If
a Muslim asks Allah (Subhanuhu wa Ta`ala)
with the
supplication of Prophet Yunus (alayh as-Salaam),
he will be
responded to".
