اللهم اغفر لي خطيئتي وجهلي وإسرافي في أمري وما أنت أعلم به مني اللهم اغفر لي جدي وهزلي وخطئي وعمدي وكل ذلك عندي
Allahummagh firli khatiati wa jahli wa israfi fi amri wa ma anta a’alamu bihi minni. Allahummagh firli jiddi wa hazli wa khatai wa ‘amdi wa kullu dhalika ‘indi
Imam Muslim (rahimahullah) has recorded these words as a du’a of Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has recorded the du’a with variation in the wording.
(Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 2719, Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 6398-6399)
Translation:
O Allah, forgive my errors and ignorance, my extravagance/immoderation in all of my affairs and what You know best of me. O Allah, forgive me my errors what I do seriously, what I do in jest and what I do intentionally. All of these [faults] are in me.
The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) taught us to pray, “Allahummar-zuqna min fadhlika wa laa tah-rim-na riz-qaka.” [Hilyatul Awliya]
The meaning of this Dua is: “Oh Allah! Grant us Rizq from your bounty and do not let us be deprived of our Rizq.”
When you say “Allahummar-zuqna” then keep the two kinds of Rizq in mind:
General (Aam) Rizq: This is for everyone, whether they be good or evil. This is sustenance for the body.
Special (Khaas) Rizq: The sustenance of the heart and soul. This is Ilm (knowledge leading to awareness of Allah) and Eeman (unpolluted belief in Allah). http://dailyhadith.adaptivesolutionsinc.com/
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to his companions: Shall I not tell you some words which, if distress or grief befalls any of you and he offers this prayer, it will bring him joy?
It is the du‘a of Dhoo’l-Noon i.e. Prophet Yunus a.s.:
لا إله إلا أنت سبحانك إني كنت من الظالمين
la ilaha illa anta , subhanak, inne kuntu min adh dhalimeen
There is no God but You, exalted are You; surely, I was one of the wrongdoers!
Pain and hardships allow you to grow spiritually Alhamdulilah so smile when a so called calamity befalls upon you.
Alhamdulilah Allah swt is the greatest.
“O Allah, the Returner of the lost, and the Guide of the lost, You guide the lost. Return to me what I have lost by Your power and Your domain, for surely It was Your gift and grace in the first place”.
(Al Hisnul Haseen)

يا جامع الناس ليوم لا ريب فيه
اجمع بيني وبين مالي إنك على كل شيء قدير.
Allahuma ya jami’ an-naas li yawmin laa rayba feeh ijma’ bayni wa bayna dhaallati.
“O Allah, Gatherer of mankind on the day in which there is no doubt. Connect me with my lost item.”
Hazrat Ma’qal bin Yasaar (RA) narrates, Once I expressed my fears to Rasoolullah (SAW) over 5 things in my life. I feared that I would be misled or deviate from the Siraatul-Mustaqeem. The second was regarding my life. I feared harm or illness would befall me. The third was about my children, that they would suffer Deeni or worldly harm. My fourth concern was my wife, that she too may suffer physical ot spiritual harm. The fifth fear I had was over my wealth, should there occur a loss of income or property. After listeing to my fears, Rasoolullah (SAW) taught me the following dua:
(to be recited 3 times morning and evening)
عن ابن عباس عن النبي صلى الله عليه
وسلم قال من عاد مريضا لم يحضر أجله فقال عنده سبع مرار أسأل الله العظيم رب العرش العظيم أن يشفيك إلا عافاه الله من ذلك المرض )سنن أبي داود #3106
Hazrat Ibn ‘Abbaas (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Whoever visits a sick person who is not destined to pass away in that illness and recites the following du‘aa upon him seven times, Allah Ta‘ala will cure him from that sickness:
O Allah, assist me in remembering You (at all times), being grateful to You (for Your countless bounties) and carrying out Your worship in a beautiful manner.
عن معاذ بن جبل أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أخذ بيده وقال يا معاذ والله إنى لأحبك والله إنى لأحبك. فقال أوصيك يا معاذ لا تدعن فى دبر كل صلاة تقول اللهم أعنى على ذكرك وشكرك وحسن عبادتك )أبو داود رقم 1524(
Hazrat Muaaz bin Jabal (Radhiyallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) took hold of his hand and said: “O Muaaz, by the oath of Allah, indeed I love you (for the sake of Allah Ta’ala). By the oath of Allah, indeed I love you (for the sake of Allah Ta’ala).” He then said: “I advise you, O Muaaz, do not ever leave out reciting the following duaa after every salaah:”
اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّى عَلَى ذِكْرِكَ وَشُكْرِكَ وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ
It was narrated from 'Amr bin Shu'aib (RA), from his father, that his grandfather said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say:
'Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-kasali, walharami, wal-maghrami, wal-ma'thami, wa a'udhu bika min sharril-masihid-dajjali, wa a'udhu bika min 'adhabil-qabri, wa a'udhu bika min 'adhabin-nar
(O Allah, I seek refuge in You from laziness, old age, debt and sin, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of the Al-Masihid-Dajjal, and I seek refuge in You from the torment of the grave, and I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the Fire.)'"
عن أبي هريرة أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يقول في دبر كل صلاة: اللهم إني أعوذ بك من عذاب النار وعذاب القبر ومن فتنة المحيا والممات ومن شر المسيح الدجال )مسند أبي عوانة رقم 2078(
Hazrat Abu Hurayrah (Radhiyallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) would recite the following duaa after salaah:
O Allah, I seek Your protection from the punishment of the fire of Jahannum, and from the punishment of the grave, and the trials of life and death, and from the evil of Dajjaal.
“O Allah! Make my body healthy, Make my hearing healthy, Make my eyesight healthy. There is no Deity but You”
Imam Abu Dawud (rahimahullah) has recorded this du’a, as part of a longer narration. Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) would recite this du’a thrice every morning and evening as he heard Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) reciting it.(Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith: 5049)
Narrated Abul Yusr (RA): The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) used to supplicate: "O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from my house falling on me, I seek refuge in Thee from falling into an abyss, I seek refuge in Thee from drowning burning and decrepitude. I seek refuge in Thee from the devil harming me at the time of my death, I seek refuge in Thee from dying in Thy path while retreating, and I seek refuge in Thee from dying of the sting of a poisonous creature."
I was given the devastating news in my last pregnancy that my baby had a high chance of being Down syndrome but at 17 weeks it was revealed in the scan baby had died.
I believe this was from Allah and he knew this would be unbearable for me to cope with.
I am now Alhamdulillah expecting again but am unsure whether I should have the test done again or leave it in Allah’s hands and just pray my baby will be healthy.
Could you please advise me?
A) What to pray during pregnancy to ensure you have a healthy child.
B) Should I get tested for downs syndrome?
w.salam
p.s please pray for me, Allah will help me as i am very frightened
Answer
Wa alaykum as Salaam warahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.
Sister! Don’t be so scared. Have your test done. Insha’Allah it will come out clear and put your mind to rest.
During pregnancy read Surah Maryam constantly, every day if possible, and then make dua.
There is no deity besides Allah Ta’ala alone, who has no partner. To Him belongs the kingdom (of the entire universe), and for Him is all praise and He has power over everything.There is no ability (to avoid sins) and no power (to do good) except with the help of Allah Ta’ala. There is no deity besides Allah Ta’alaand we worship none but Him. All bounties and favours are solely for Him (in His hands), and all beautiful praises are for Him alone.There is no deity besides Allah Ta’ala,(we believe in this)with devoting our ibaadat and Deen solely for Him, even though the disbelievers dislike it.
عن أبي الزبير، قال: كان ابن الزبير، يقول: في دبر كل صلاة حين يسلم: لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير، لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله، لا إله إلا الله، ولا نعبد إلا إياه، له النعمة وله الفضل، وله الثناء الحسن، لا إله إلا الله مخلصين له الدين ولو كره الكافرون. وقال: كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يهلل بهن دبر كل صلاة )مسلم رقم 594(
Hazrat Abu Zubair (Rahimahullah) reports that Hazrat Abdullah bin Zubair (Radhiyallahu Anhu) would recite the following duaa after completing the salaah with salaam, and Hazrat Abdullah bin Zubair (Radhiyallahu Anhu) said that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) would recite the same duaa after every salaah: http://ihyaauddeen.co.za/?p=11995
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah narrates that Nabi (sallallahu'alayhi wasallam) made lots of du'as which we were unable to memorise. We said: 'O Prophet of Allah, You have made many du'as which we were unable to memorise.'
Rasulullah (sallallahu'alayhi wasallam) replied:
'Should I not teach you'll something that will encompass all of that?
Recite:
Allahumma inna nas-aluka min khayri ma sa-alaka minhu Nabiyyuka Muhammadun (sallallahu'alayhi wasallam), wa na'udhu bika min sharri mas ta'adhaka minhu Nabiyyuka Muhammadun (sallallahu'alayhi wasallam). Wa Antal Musta'anu wa 'alaykal balaghu wa la hawla wala quwwata illa billah.
Allahumma inni as aluka minal khayri kullihi, ‘ajilihi wa ajilihi, ma ‘alimtu minhu wa ma la a’lam. Wa a’udhu bika minash sharri kullihi, ‘ajilihi wa ajilihi, ma ‘alimtu minhu wa ma la a’lam. Allahumma inni as’aluka min khayri ma sa’alaka ‘abduka wa Nabiyyuka, wa a’udhu bika min sharri ma ‘adha bihi ‘abduka wa nabiyyuka. Allahumma inni as’alukal-jannata wa ma qarraba ilayha min qawlin aw ‘amalin, wa a’udhu bika minan nari wa ma qarraba ilayha min qawlin aw ‘amalin, wa as’aluka an taj’al kulla qada’in qadaytahuli khayra
(O Allah, I ask You for all that is good, in this world and in the Hereafter, what I know and what I do not know. O Allah, I seek refuge with You from all evil, in this world and in the Hereafter, what I know and what I do not know. O Allah, I ask You for the good that Your slave and Prophet has asked You for, and I seek refuge with You from the evil from which Your slave and Prophet sought refuge. O Allah, I ask You for Paradise and for that which brings one closer to it, in word and deed, and I seek refuge in You from Hell and from that which brings one closer to it, in word and deed. And I ask You to make every decree that You decree concerning me good)
(Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith: 3846, Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah, Hadith: 29957, Musnad Ahmad, vol. 6 pg. 134, Sahih Ibn Hibban; Al Ihsan, Hadith: 869, Mustadrak Hakim, vol. 1 pg. 521/522)
Rabbana wa-j'alna Muslimayni laka wa min Dhurriyatina 'Ummatan Muslimatan laka wa 'Arina Manasikana wa tub 'alayna 'innaka 'antat-Tawwabu-Raheem
Our Lord! Make of us Muslims, bowing to Thy (Will), and of our progeny a people Muslim, bowing to Thy (will); and show us our place for the celebration of (due) rites; and turn unto us (in Mercy); for Thou art the Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.
Rabbanaa Laa Too-Akhid’naaa In-Naseenaa Aw Akht’aanaa Rabbanaa wa Laa Tah’mil A’laynaaa Is’ran Kamaa Ha’maltahoo A’lal Lad’eena min Qablinaa Rabbanaa wa Laa Tuh’ammilnaa Maa Laa T’aaqata Lanaa Bih Wa’-Fu A’nnaa Waghfirlanaa Warh’amnaa Anta Mawlaanaa Fans’urnaa A’lal Qawmil Kaafireen
Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned. "Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error, our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us; our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Pardon us and grant us Forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Maula (Patron, Supporter and Protector, etc.) and give us victory over the disbelieving people."
