(25) This is the dua’a of prophet Ibrahim he recited to bring peace to the city  of Makkah and to keep him  and his descendants safe from worshipping any other god except the one and only Allah.

When a high ranking prophet like Ibrahim prayed to Allah for preserving him and his descendants from serving false gods, we, the ordinary servants of Allah, must always recite this dua’a as many times as possible.

(26) This is also a prayer of Ibrahim to make him establish prayer, and to give his children the motivation to do the same, and to favour them all by accepting their worship.

For accepting of sunnah and wajib prayers, we may recite this dua’a after every prayer.

(27) Prophet Ibrahim recited this dua’a to seek forgiveness of Allah for him, for his parents and for those who believe in the one and only Allah, because His mercy alone will keep all believers away from the fire of hell on the day of judgement.

A high ranking Prophet, Ibrahim, also known as Khaleelullaah (close friend of Allah), has included his parents in his dua’a. The sunnah (way of life) of the infallible Prophets is a guidance for us. It is obligatory to love our parents and respect them because through them we are brought into this world. Allah, who provides sustenance to all, has selected parents to give livelihood to all that which have been created by Him. So next to the almighty Allah we owe everything in our life to our parents. They take care of us from the day we are born. They bring us up with love and care. It is a well known fact that Allah, in His infinite mercy, has created love of mother, to keep alive the circle of continuous life on this earth, and because of this it is said that paradise lies under the feet of the mother.

Love of parents for their children is the divine wisdom through which mankind and other living beings have been surviving for millions of years on this planet. In no way we can repay our parents for what they do for us, except by following the command of Allah who ask us, in the holy Quran, to lower unto them our wings of submission through compassion and recite this dua’a and the dua’a mentioned in 28.

(28) This and dua’a 27 and dua’a 55 are the best dua’a which we must pray for our parents at all times, whether they are alive or dead.

In the salatul walaydayn always recite these dua’as in qunoot.

In reply to a question, as to what is the position if some one’s parents, one or both, have died immediately after giving birth without ever nourishing the child, Imam Jaffer bin Mohammed as Sadiq said that subsistence of a child in the womb is enough to make the child feel obligated to hos or her parents, and pray regularly to seek Allah’s blessings for them.

We must mention again that besides our own obligation, it is the command of Allah to give highest form of respect to our parents, to talk to them politely, even to sit with them and to talk to them is Ibadat (act of obedience to Allah), to carry out their orders, to love them and to take care of them in their old age and as directed in verse 23 of Bani Israel not to say (even) “uff” to them, nor chide them, but to say gentle words to them; and above all to pray for obtaining mercy of Allah for them.

Salat, sawm, dua’as and all other good deeds of disobedient children go waste because Allah does not bestow blessings and does not have mercy on those who disobey their parents.

(29) This dua’a is recited to seek Allah’s help for success in whatever work we are doing, mental or physical, spiritual; or material, with a firm determination to avoid that which has been forbidden and to take up only that which is allowed.

It is highly desirable to recite this dua’a in tahajjud (qunoot of salatul witr).

Recite this dua’a if you are afraid of a person or a thing; and at time of going to dangerous places.

RABBI ADKHILNEE MUDKHALA S’IDQIW WA AKHRIJNEE MUKHRAJA S’DIQIW WAJ-A’L LEE MIL LADUNKAA SULT’AANAN NAS’EERAA
O Lord, cause me to enter a goodly entrance and cause me to go out a goodly exit, and grant me from you an authority to assist (me). (BANI ISRAEL: 80)

(30) This dua’a is recited to have full confidence to bear patiently all the difficulties which we face if we oppose the enemies of Allah to remain on the right path, by putting our trust in Allah for obtaining His help and mercy.

This dua’a was recitd by the people of the cave, known as ashaabul kahf, when they heard the sound of advancing soldiers, while running away from the army of the cruel king, who wanted to kill them because they, as true believers, refused to worship idols.

This dua’a can be recited to overcome the enemies: and to achieve success in whatever work we are doing.

(31) Recite this verse if you want to have a son because this dua’a was recited by Prophet Zakariyya to beseech Allah to give him a son

(32) This dua’a was recited by Moosa when he commanded by Allah to go to Pharaoh and show him the power of Allah by the help of the two miracles given to him.

Although Moosa was going to Pharaoh under the instruction of Allah, equipped with two divine miracles, still he invoked Allah to set his mind at ease and to make his task easy.

We must always seek Allah’s help to get success in our work, whatever the nature of it may be, so far as it is not prohibited.

Recite this dua’a before you give a lecture or discourse before a large or small gathering of people. You should also recite this if you want to make someone or some people to understand your point of view. Stammering will disappear if this dua’a is regularly recited.

(33) Recite this dua’a 7 times after every wajib prayer to increase knowledge

(34) This dua’a was recited by Prophet Ayyub. Allah put him to severe trials by taking away wealth, health and children. His father, a descendant of Ishaq, was a very rich man.

Although poor health, disease and poverty made him weak and miserable, he never complained or showed despair. His patience and endurance became a byword for coming generations till now.

Recite this dua’a to cure sickness and disease and to remove poverty.

(35) This verse is known as ayatul karimah, the “glorious verse”.

This dua’a was recited by prophet Yunus when he found himself in the dark belly of a big fish, who swallowed him alive.

To seek fulfillment of any legitimate desire, or to disperse afflictions and calamities, offer a two rakat salat and at the end recite this dua’a 720 times

(36) This dua’a was recited by prophet Zakariyya to beseech Allah to give him a son.
