2 Rakat Nafl Prayer for the Ummah

Syria is burning, its people are drowning and the art of humanity is lost in today's world.
Prayng 2 rakat nafl for the ummah is the very least we can do

#prayfortheummah

Reminder:

Rather than raging [emoji35]online[emoji335], let's channel our anger at this outrageous decision made by the parliament to bomb [emoji378]Syria.

Let's be productive and rise for Tahajjud [emoji561] to make duā as this is one of the times it is accepted [emoji92].

The Prophet SalAllāhu alayhi wa sallam said: “The Lord descends every night to the lowest heaven when one-third of the night [emoji292]remains and says: ‘Who will call upon Me, that I may answer Him? Who will ask of Me, that I may give him? Who will seek My forgiveness, that I may forgive him?" [emoji288] [Sahih Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

"The duā made at tahajjud is like an arrow which does not miss its target." [emoji818]️[emoji817][Imam Ash-Shafi'i]

Ya Allāh destroy the oppressors and protect our brothers and sisters in Syria who will potentially be awoken by missiles in a matter of hours.

There's a very short and beautiful durood that I think is really wonderful that In-sha-Allah we can recite as well for the same purpose:

Allahumma-slih ummata Muhammad sallalahu alayhi wasallam
Allahumma-rham ummata Muhammad sallalahu alayhi wasallam
Allahumma-stur ummata Muhammad sallalahu alayhi wasallam
Allahumma-ghfir li ummati Muhammad sallalahu alayhi wasallam
Alhammua-hfaz ummata Muhammad sallalahu alayhi wasallam
Alahumma-nsur ummata Muhammad sallalahu alayhi wasallam

Meaning:

O Allah! Reconcile the nation of Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him.
O Allah! Have mercy on the nation of Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him.
O Allah! Veil the imperfection of the nation of Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him.
O Allah! Forgive the nation of Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him.
O Allah! Preserve the nation of Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him.
O Allah! Succor the nation of Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him.

Great thread. Tonight is a very special night, it's jumuah and we're also uniting as an ummah to pray for those who are amidst the chaos. I pray that they find the anchor in God insha'Allah, that there WILL be Divine Justice. Ameen.
