In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious,
the Most Merciful.
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of
the worlds.
And peace and blessings be upon the Master
of the Messengers, and upon his family and
companions.
And peace and blessings be upon him.
Many greetings until the Day of Recompense.
What's next?
Allah Almighty said, Invite me, I will respond
to you.
And the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon
him, said, Whoever does not ask Allah, he
will be angry with me.
Or as the Prophet, peace and blessings be
upon him, said.
So, Allah Almighty gave Mulla Ali Al Qari
the compiler of this book.
He gave him the Tawfiq to do this.
And it's very interesting why he did it.
I'm just going to quickly, just a few
minutes, why he did this.
He mentions in his introduction.
He said that, I observe some seekers regularly
reciting the set litanies of reliable spiritual masters
and honorable scholars, such that I observe some
of them attached to the Seyfi supplication and
the Arba'een Ismi.
I also found some common folk regularly in
reading, for instance, the Qadha supplication, whose chain
experts have mentioned alongside other objections contains what
are without doubt fabrications.
In his time, what he saw is that,
mashaAllah, there was lots of people who were
so particular about reading Awrad, they had set
litanies, they were very dedicated to this.
I think this is really what has brought
the Ummah to where we are and allowed
us to sustain itself.
All of the people who are making lots
and lots of du'as and reading the
du'as of the Prophet ﷺ.
But the problem is he says that there
were people who were reading WhatsApp du'as.
Those fantastic ones that you get through WhatsApp
forwards and you don't know where they come
from.
He said, I saw people so dedicated to
this, so it occurred to me that I
should compile supplications transmitted from the various hadith
in well-known, reliable books.
He said, let me capitalize on this, this
interest that people had.
So then he took from Imam Nawwi, Imam
Jazri, Imam Suyuti, Imam Sakhawi, etc.
and he decided to compile this together.
So now, mashaAllah, Allah ﷻ gave this book
a lot of acceptance.
Imam Mulla Ali al-Qadhi was from Herat
in Afghanistan.
I managed to visit last year a place
of Sufis.
Imam Jami Rahmatullah Ali is buried there.
Imam Razi is buried there.
Imam Ansari, Shaykh Abdullah al-Ansari, he's buried
there.
It's an amazing, amazing, beautiful city with a
big mosque, bigger than the Delhi one.
When you go to the Delhi one, you
feel like, you know, the history there, right?
This one is bigger than the Delhi one.
And you feel like you're back in time.
Some people would say that, you know, it's
like a scene out of Ertugrul.
It's like old-fashioned.
Three dhikr majlises after Jummah were taking place.
Khatm-e Khajgan and what not.
It was amazing.
It was just different.
You feel you're back in time somewhere.
You really feel Imam Razi used to teach
there.
And Imam Razi's grave is close to there
as well.
So that's where he was from, but he
moved to Makkah Bukarramah.
And that's where mashallah, it looks like he
must have passed away there because his grave
doesn't seem to be in Kirat.
Anyway, so there's various different types of du
'as.
One is the occasion du'a.
So that won't be included in here, like
before eating, after sleeping, and so on.
Those are different.
These are the jami' al-da'awat.
These are, the special thing about this kitab
and maybe its acceptance is that as Mullah
Ali al-Qari himself says in the introduction,
he says that the Prophet ﷺ never left
anything.
He says, the Prophet ﷺ did not leave
out any praiseworthy quality or felicitous trait without
seeking it from Allah and imploring him for
it.
Nor any evil act or lowly quality without
seeking refuge with him from it in some
way or the other.
So there's, I don't know if there's any
more comprehensive du'a kitab than this because
everything you and I and anybody needs for
this world and for the hereafter, he has
it in here, whether you realize it right
now or not.
For example, right, one du'a is, Allahumma
inni a'udhu bikman al-haram O Allah,
seek your refuge from evil old age.
How many people here are concerned about evil
old age, like genuinely?
The young guys are like, that's a long
time away.
Now the older people, they're concerned that we
don't become reliant on anyone else.
Kisi ga muhtajna banaya Allah.
As they keep saying, you become bed bound,
people have to feed you, people have to
clean you.
Ya Allah, Allah protect us from that.
That du'a is being made.
You read this, even if you do it
once a month, at least it's being made
so inshaAllah we'll be protected from it.
So it's got amazing du'as.
Once one of our ulema friends, he had
broken or fractured a rib or something, fractured
something in his leg.
So he calls me one day, he says,
I found a du'a in here for
that.
I said, which one?
Ya Jabir al-Azm al-Kasif.
O Mender of the Broken Bones.
So it pretty much because in the Prophet's
words it's got everything there.
So he starts with the Quranic du'as,
then he goes into the Hadith du'as
from the Prophet, and then he ends with
the Durood Sharif.
There's just so many different things.
I'll give you another example.
The famous du'a.
Just think over the meaning of that.
Our Lord give us the good of this
world, the good of the Hereafter and protect
us from Hellfire.
Just think, do you need anything more than
that in life?
If you've got the good and best of
this world, of the Hereafter, protection from Hellfire,
you don't need anything.
Then from these du'as what we learn
is the adab of du'a.
Du'a is an ibadat.
I could never understand how du'a was
an ibadat.
How is du'a an ibadat when it
sounds like a selfish plea to Allah to
give me this and give me that.
How does that sound like ibadat?
It's more like selfish supplication, right?
But the reason du'a is an ibadat
is because why are we asking Allah?
Why do we feel compelled to ask Allah?
Because we understand our own inability.
I can't go to anyone else.
That expression of only asking Allah and thinking
only He can do, that is ibadat.
In fact, sometimes there's more ibadat than in
other ibadat that we do in the way
that we express it from Him.
That's what Allah loves.
Where most people make a mistake is when
they don't know how to deal with it
when their du'as don't get accepted.
I've been making du'a for three months.
You get these calls.
I've been making du'a for a year.
It's been three years.
I still haven't found the right person.
I haven't, you know, this du'a has
not been accepted.
And the problem with this is because generally
we dictate to Allah.
It's like He's our servant.
He's our worker.
And we just make ten du'as and
when they don't get accepted, we get angry
on our employee.
Like, why didn't you get this job done?
I told you we had to do this
this week.
So this is where it goes wrong.
So I'm going to give an example here
of acceptance.
And you'll hopefully understand how the qadr, taqdeer,
the predestination and du'a works.
So let's just say that there's an amazing
car that Hazrat Mawlana Ibrahim Sahib really wants.
And I want it as well.
And Mawlana Hayat wants it as well.
And everybody's doing solid du'a for this.
Because there's only one like it.
It's a car or a house or whatever
it is.
There's only one like it's ideal location.
Who should Allah give it to?
What do you guys think?
Who should He give it to?
You should give it to Mawlana Hayat.
Why should He give it to him?
It's not about vote, is it?
Who do you think Allah should give it
to?
Huh?
Usually people say, who's making more du'a?
But we're all making the same du'a.
Who's more righteous?
Well, that's obvious, right?
So these are the kind of things that
we're going the wrong way.
It's whoever Allah wills.
And why?
Because He may not give it to any
of us.
Only Allah knows.
Because Allah is in charge of everything.
We think we're the only one.
It has to happen according to me.
I want this, I want that because I
think it's good for me.
So it needs to happen that way.
But it's happening to me.
There's multiple possible effects of that which may
be good or bad.
We don't know that.
Only Allah knows the future.
And Allah takes care of all the billions
in the world at one time and all
the time.
He has the grand plan already decreed.
Whether that house or that car is within
my it's within my naseeb as they say,
or within my share only Allah knows.
It may be that because remember everything you
have to remember anything and everything that we
do in this world has an effect on
someone else.
That's why the angels they pray for the
tulab al-ilm the talib al-ilm the
birds because ilm is supposed to improve things
in this world.
Anything that we do anything that we do,
it has a benefit.
Dhikr majlis taking place here in this center
will benefit the locality.
Whether we realize it or not because that's
just the way Allah has made everything.
Likewise, evil acts will affect and harm people
as well.
So let's just say that Mawlana Hayat buys
a new car right?
A black Mercedes, right?
And he puts it in his garage so
nobody sees it.
The neighbors will eventually notice.
You can't hide those things, right?
Now if he has seven neighbors, what are
the reactions going to be?
One of them is going to say Mashallah,
I'm so happy he's got that.
Second neighbor is going to say I'm happy
he's got that but why did he get
a black one?
Why did you get a black one for?
Why didn't you get a red one for?
Right?
Another one is going to say, why a
BMW?
Sorry, Mercedes.
Why didn't you get BMW?
That's a better car.
A third one, a fourth one is going
to say Oh, you know what?
That's a good idea.
I'm going to get one as well.
A fifth one is going to say, why
does he get to get one?
Why can't I get one?
There's going to be some hasad there maybe,
you know?
Different reactions.
How do you deal with those reactions?
Plus, you get a powerful car, it may
not be good for you because your foot
is heavy.
Allah knows the future, He knows you, He
knows how He wants things to be.
So all of these things are, we use
the word juggle, but you can't use that
for Allah, but He manages all of these
things according to His grand plan.
But our job is still to ask Allah,
that that you have absolute conviction that you're
going to get a response.
And you will definitely get a response, but
you may not get that.
We have to realize that we're going to
do our best.
I want that, I want that, I want
that.
Oh Allah, give it to me.
Allah gets angry if we don't ask Him.
But ultimately, when it doesn't happen the way
we are, then we have to realize that
taqdeer, the predestination is whatever, and then we
put our hands up.
Ya Allah, I'm happy.
If we lost it, you know better.
I did my best.
So, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is not
an employee.
The other thing, the last thing I want
to mention here is that when you look
at these duas and the way the Prophet
ﷺ asks, you'll understand how to ask.
He hardly ever jumps right into asking.
He sets the scene.
He sets the scene.
He starts off by saying, oh Allah, ana
abduk, I'm your servant.
Doesn't Allah know that already?
He says, I am the servant of your
male slave, and your female slave.
Allah knows that already.
ma'din feeya hukmuk He says all of these
things that your judgment, your decree is already
implemented in me, and he mentions all of
these things, and right at the end, then
he'll mention something.
There's just so many duas like that.
There's just, I read quite a few of
them.
I don't know if he's memorized this, but
Mufti Mahmood Sahib has memorized it.
I got my son to memorize this after
he did his.
Because mashallah, they have their brains.
If they can memorize the whole Quran, why
can't they mention some duas?
I gave him some incentive.
I said, okay, you memorize this.
He has to do dua right now.
It's getting rusty, but there's just multiple duas
in here that you can benefit.
For example, look at this.
Oh Allah, you hear my words.
I'm just doing translation just to make it
quicker.
You see my station.
You know my secret and open states.
Nothing about me is hidden from you.
I am a distressed and needy seeker of
aid and refuge, afraid, fearful, confessing my sins.
I'm guilty.
I know I'm guilty.
I'm not even saying I'm not guilty.
I'm guilty.
I plead to you with the pleading of
a destitute man.
I address to you the earnest supplication of
a lowly sinner.
He hasn't even asked him anything yet.
Just setting the scene.
I call unto you with the call of
one constrained and terrified whose next bow before
you, whose tears flow for you, whose body
is humble for you, and whose nose is
in the dust before you.
Oh Allah, make me never unhappy in invoking
you.
Be compassionate and merciful to me.
And look at this.
This is beautiful.
Ya khayr al-mas'uleen wa ya khayr
al-mu'teen O best of those who are
petitioned and O best of those who grant.
You think Allah's not going to give you
after that?
That expression, the way you put it out
and the next dua is the one, the
dua of Taif.
I don't need to repeat the story when
yeah, when he was when he was stoned
and then he came out and the Prophet
ﷺ bloodied in that orchard and then the
angel had even come to say I'll finish
these people off.
Now look at the way he expresses himself
and his obedience and his servitude to Allah.
This is what this you could do a
whole bayan you know just on this dua
really.
Says O Allah, now remember he's just come
out, he feels that he's failed maybe, right,
that I couldn't be successful with giving dawah
to these people.
He says unto you do I complain of
my weakness, of my helplessness and of my
lowliness.
Why does he say lowliness?
Because they did not respect me.
They did not respect me to accept what
I said.
They responded the way they did before men.
O most merciful of the merciful ones, to
whom will you turn me over?
I'm entirely up to you, it's all up
to you.
Who will you turn me over?
To an enemy who will abuse me?
Or to a relative you have empowered against
me?
So long as you're not angry with me,
I do not care.
But then he slips it and he says
though your well-being is more bearable for
me.
You can do whatever you want to me,
but if you keep me with well-being
that's more bearable, that's better for me, that's
easier for me.
SubhanAllah, he says غير أن عافيتك أوسع لي
I seek refuge in the light of your
noble countenance by which the heavens are illuminated
and the darkness is dispelled and the affairs
of this world and the next are set
to rights, lest you cause your wrath to
befall me or your mere anger to descend
upon me.
He's scared that Allah, I've not been able
to do what Allah has told me to
do even though he tried his best, he
got bloodied for it, he got beaten for
it, but still.
Yet, it is for you to reproach me
until you are well-pleased.
You can keep telling me off until you're
pleased.
For there is no power or might except
through you.
You can't get anybody better than the Prophet
ﷺ to make a dua.
This is a very special category of the
language of Arabic and these duas are very
special category because Allah loves the Prophet ﷺ
the most, he loves Allah the most, he
is the greatest knower of Allah, nobody knows
Allah better than him, and he has the
best language, most articulate language to be able
to express that emotion and that servitude, nobody
better than him.
The duas is a special category of language
that many of us are missing.
Mawlana Abu al-Hassan wrote a small treatise,
a risalah, on the seerah of the dua
of just how to express to Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala, so that that's what this
is all about, and I received a copy
of Dalailul Khairat about 12 years ago, 10
-12 years ago, that Shaykh Nuh Keller had
produced, and it was so beautiful that it
got me reading it like, you know, when
something's nice so that's why we decided to
work on this and do khidmat of it
in this way with the five colors usually
this kind of stuff this gold and all
of that, this was only fit for a
king before, they would get this kind of
stuff in the early days of special books
like the Shamail or the Quran, you know
but now it's in the hands of everybody,
just like baklawa used to be in the
Ottoman kitchens, only before there was a special
royal delicacy, now you can buy it from
Tesco right?
but yeah, so now it's becoming the hand
of everybody, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala accepted,
Jazakallah for giving us the opportunity to talk
about it and yeah, just one thing, a
lot of people have, you know, done khidmat
of this kitab and so on, and they
have, some people have written commentaries, others have
abridged it so that you get a dopamine
rush that you finish the portion every day
because it's less, they've just taken the main
du'as from here, which is a good
idea, not a bad idea at all, however
the problem is that since the design of
the kitab is for it to be comprehensive
so you'll be missing out on many du
'as if you don't read the full one
but the problem with the full one is
that it's longer so my idea, my research
on this is that Mawlana Ali al-Qari
did not split it into seven days in
the introduction he says read the whole thing
in one day fabiha wa ni'mat he says,
if not then once a week, if not
once a month if not once a year,
if not then at least once in your
lifetime he says but my encouragement is usually
that just read even a page or two
a day and finish it in three months,
or two months forget the, you know we
have written the days in there but the
manuscripts didn't have the days written in the
matal right, that's just for convenience read two
pages a day but the benefit is that
in two months you'll finish all the du
'as at least once so that's the benefit,
may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala accept and
give us tawfiq to stay connected to Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala and the Prophet Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and in the company
of our elders and our mashayikh Quranic
Du'as Rabbana Rabbana Rabbana Rabbana Rabbana Rabbana
Rabbana Rabbana and after that Asma-e-Husna
and after that there are some Du'as
then the second, it starts from Saturday then
there is the destination of Sunday so in
that some things have been asked from Allah,
those are then there is the destination of
Monday, there are some mu'awwizat, things have
been asked then Tuesday Wednesday, Thursday, Friday different
Du'as are asked in the case of
Thursday, I think Istighfar is more there are
different ways of Istighfar Allahumma inni astaghfiruka li
kulli khairin arattu bihi wajhak fa khalatani fihi
ma laisa lah wa astaghfiruka lil ni'min lati
taqawwaitu biha ala ma'asiyati wa astaghfiruka lima
a'taytuka min nafsi summa lam oofi laka bihi
so where did these words come from Mufti
sahab said it right that the Du'a
of Prophet Muhammad is just amazing and he
made a very good point that Huzoor is
the most Farsi and eloquent person he was
given the ability to make the best Du
'as and use the best words, nobody can
use better words than Nabiye Karim sometimes we
try to use our own words then we
make mistakes we make mistakes one Maulvi sahab
was asking for a Du'a Allahumma halli
mushkilatina brother halla yuhalli tahliyatan means to make
beautiful to make jewelry to make our problems
more beautiful you are cursing yourself halli mushkilatina
is wrong halli mushkilatina means read the Muslim
Du'as in Muslim Du'as halli mushkilatina
comes so the words of Huzoor they are
the best words you should read those words
and the last Du'a of Friday all
the Du'as are Du'as because it
is Jummah and Jummah requires Du'as so
the Du'as have a destination so try
to read one Du'a daily and I
will tell you about my father my father
Hafiz sahab from India in 1969 he went
for a reunion he stayed there for 3
years in the end of 1972 he came
to England Hafiz sahab took him to the
Dewsbury center he was alone there was a
small room we came here in October 1975
this 6 year gap in this my father
told me it was my habit that I
used to read Huzoor's Du'a daily after
Fajr and after Fajr Huzoor's Du'a and
after Fajr I used to join some of
his Du'as so that everyone can get
their daily Du'as and they too can
join it it takes time but 2-5
Du'as are enough so the best way
is before Fajr come to the mosque it
will take 5 minutes once you get used
to it you will be able to read
in 5-6 minutes you will be able
to read so if you get used to
it before Fajr and between Sunnat and Fajr
I will be able to read and between
Sunnat and Fajr is the time of acceptance
Du'as are accepted Du'a is mentioned
in Hadith Du'a is not rejected Allah
accepts it so you will try it now
Fajr is late you will get sleep at
night so rather than lastminute.com go to
the mosque early for Fajr and read Sunnat
from home do Huzoor's Du'as wash your
face and get ready and then come to
the mosque and before Fajr read it you
will be able to read in 5 minutes
you will be able to read so get
used to it daily you will be able
to read every week InshaAllah Mufti Sahib has
made it very beautiful InshaAllah you will be
able to read and if you don't have
money we have kept some books old books
if you want to read you can read
and there is a pdf on our group
there is no English translation only Arabic we
will keep that pdf you can read it
on mobile I try to read it on
mobile in 3-4 minutes so get used
to it InshaAllah and about Du'a Mufti
Sahib has made it very beautiful he has
explained it very well Du'a is open
worship we pay more attention to Allah compared
to Salah we pay more attention to Du
'a we pay more attention to Allah that
is why it is called open worship and
as Mufti Sahib said those who don't ask
Allah they get angry why don't you ask
me if someone asks me I get angry
but Allah is different Allah says why don't
you ask me Allah gets angry on those
who don't ask and Allah says Du'a
is beneficial from what came down and from
what didn't come down Du'a is beneficial
from what came down and from what didn't
come down so ask InshaAllah Allah will solve
your problems and ask properly and if it
is not accepted don't lose hope just keep
asking InshaAllah one day it will be accepted
Hazrat Muhammad Bihar Sahib said one person came
I gave him a wazifa to read it
21 times now it has been 12 months
Mufti Sahib I read his wazifa it was
of no benefit how many times did you
read it I used to read it 100
times why did you read it 100 times
I told you to read it 21 times
now go and read it 21 times now
he read the wazifa 21 times as I
told you after a week he brought sweets
and everything was done so do as it
is told according to that method so do
it that way and ask Du'a that
way and as Mufti Sahib said there is
a method of asking Du'a there is
a method so what is its method we
will complete it later first of all praise
and salutation to Allah praise and salutation to
Allah may Allah be pleased after that Durood
Sharif because from Durood Sharif Du'a gets
wings it flies up Hazrat Umar said that
Du'a stays suspended between the earth and
the sky it stays suspended until Durood is
sent when Durood is sent it flies up
like a rocket that is why Durood Sharif
is the most important so first praise and
salutation to Allah after that Durood Sharif and
after that the method of asking which is
Jami'ud Du'a as Mufti Sahib said
Sheikh Yusuf Sahib said Qazi Riaz Maliki Qazi
Riaz Maliki that this is the most Jami
'ud Du'a because as Mufti Sahib said
that all the goodness of the world health,
wellness, blessings, sustenance and good children, good wife
good house, good car good things, good income
good money, all this comes in the world
and in the hereafter in the hereafter Kalima,
Iman, death, protection from the torment of the
grave, comfort in the grave, easiness in the
book of accounts, tranquility, crossing the bridge, going
to heaven, protection from the torment of *
because sometimes you have to go to the
torment of * then you get heaven but
through the fast track you can be saved
from the torment of * and go straight
to heaven so in the hereafter after death
all the events start in the hereafter and
what happened before that is all in the
world so goodness in the world, goodness in
the hereafter protection from the torment of *
everything comes in it that's why Huzoor sometimes
in the beginning of the prayer and when
finishing the prayer so in the beginning and
end both times Rabbanatina and in the hadith
let me remind you a companion was very
sick he had high fever to take the
news of Huzoor so he went to Huzoor
Huzoor asked did you ask for a prayer
he said yes I said O Allah in
the torment of * give me the punishment
in this world Huzoor said what kind of
prayer did you ask who can bear the
torment of Allah nobody can tolerate Allah's torment
Huzoor said Rabbanatina in the torment of *
give me the punishment in this world he
recited this prayer and got well so this
prayer the method of prayer is also taught
to us by Allah so most comprehensive prayers
are those taught by Allah that's why ask
for prayers we try here after every prayer
ask for comprehensive prayers after every prayer Huzoor
used to recite once I was going to
Haram Sharif with Sheikh Junaid there was an
old man he was going with Huzoor he
asked this question he asked Allahumma Antas Salaam
so after Jinn Namaz Sunnah is to be
recited or after Fajr Asr because after Fajr
Asr we recite Tasbeeh and then we pray
so we forget Allahumma Antas Salaam so he
said after every prayer we have to recite
after every Salaam after every Salaam Allahumma Antas
Salaam and in that Allah you are safe
and safety comes from you and you are
very blessed Zul Jalali Wal Ikram and in
one narration Ya Zal Jalali Wal Ikram is
called the greatest so Huzoor used it there
so everything came in that Allah give safety
peace of mind, safety, security Huzoor after every
Salaam used to recite Allahumma Antas Salaam and
Allahumma inna ala zikrika wa shukrika wa husna
ibadati after every Salaam so after Jinn Namaz
Sunnah is to be recited and after Jinn
Namaz Sunnah is not to be recited we
recite it immediately so we don't leave it
we ask Allah may Allah accept us Jazakallah
