Description from Publisher:
In this work, the author elaborates on the status, importance and etiquette of dua' in Islam. In the most comprehensive work yet to be written in English on the topic, the author discusses, amongst other matters: the excellence and benefits of du'a; the types of du'a; the pre-conditions that are needed in order for a du'a to be accepted; the recommended etiquette of performing du'a; the timings and situations in which a du'a is more likely to be answered; the various factors that aid or prevent a du'a from being accepted; the relationship of du'a with the Divine Decree (qadr); the wisdom behind a delayed response, and many other relevant topics.
Umm Junayd's Comment:
As with salaah, du'aa is another way for us to create a connection with our Lord; we are able to ask of Him without intermediaries or 'middle-men'. As it is such a vital tool to gain closeness to Allaah, should we not know the issues that pertaining to it - issues which may determine whether our supplications will be answered or not.
Not only does the author clearly highlight important aspects of 'du'aa making', he also explains the issues of tawassul, the relationship between du'aa and qadr, factors that prevent supplications being answered and much more!
