I'm Laween, a web developer from Sulaymaniyah, Kurdistan,
Iraq.
My question is, Allah knows what we want,
then why do we have to make dua
to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala?
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the
glorious Quran, in Surah Al-Baqarah, chapter number
two, verse number 186, وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي
فَإِنِّي قَرِيبُ And when my servant calls upon
me, say, I am close to him, I
respond to the call of a caller.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, he is very
close to us.
And if we turn to Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala, if we do dua to Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala, he will respond to
our dua, he will respond to our supplication.
Now if Allah knows what we want, why
do we have to do dua to Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala?
So that we know the difference between a
person who is atheist and atheist.
A theist is a person who believes in
God and an atheist is a person who
does not believe in God.
So if everyone does not do dua, how
will we know the difference between a theist
and an atheist?
A person who believes in God and a
person who does not believe in God.
In order to know the difference between a
believer in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and
a disbeliever in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
is dua.
A believer will call upon Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala, will turn to Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
A disbeliever will not turn to Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala.
A believer will turn to Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
A disbeliever may ask some deity, but the
disbeliever will ask the false deity.
So in order to differentiate between a believer
in Allah and a disbeliever, dua is very
important.
If each and every human being does not
do dua, then what is the difference between
a believer in Allah and a disbeliever in
Allah?
A true believer turns to Allah and supplicates
to Allah.
And the reason Allah wants us to do
dua to Him is so that we recognize
Him as the Creator.
Allah is testing us and seeing whether we
recognize Him as the Creator, as the Cherisher,
as the Sustainer.
And if we recognize Allah as our Creator,
as our Sustainer, as our Cherisher, then we
will tend to follow His advice.
Allah is testing us believers.
He is testing us human beings that do
we turn to Him and do we ask
dua to Allah?
And dua, it will benefit us.
When we do dua to Allah, it does
not benefit Allah in any way or form.
But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, He is
testing us to see who among us turns
to Him and supplicates to Him.
So the more we turn to Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala, the more it will draw
us closer towards Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
For example, there is a doctor.
We praise the doctor.
We revere the doctor.
And when we praise the doctor, when we
revere the doctor, we tend to follow His
advice as far as medication is concerned.
When we praise Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
when we revere Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
when we consider Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
as our Creator, as our Sustainer, we will
tend to follow His commandments and His advice.
So when we do dua to Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala, it benefits us and it
does not benefit Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
If we want to have peace, tranquility and
satisfaction in this life and the next life,
then we should do dua to Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala.
We should turn to Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala.
The dua, it is the weapon of a
believer.
Let us utilize this weapon in order to
call upon Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad, may peace and blessings
be upon him, he used to ask forgiveness
from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala no less
than 100 times a day.
Even though our beloved Prophet Muhammad, peace be
upon him, was promised paradise, yet he used
to turn to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
He used to ask forgiveness from Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala.
Why?
Because he knew the importance of istighfar.
He knew the importance of dua.
How many times do we turn to Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala in a day?
How much dua we do to Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala?
One of the best times to do dua
to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, it is
during the last one third of the night,
during the tahajjud prayer in asujud.
Let us turn to Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala before it is too late.
Let us do dua to Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
If we want to have success in this
life as well as the next, we should
turn to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Whatever our needs and wants are, we should
ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
The more we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala, the more we will find peace and
tranquility in our lives.
So let us turn towards Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
Let us do dua to Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
Let us ask forgiveness from Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala on a daily basis.
And this will help us in this life
as well as the next life.
The dua that we ask from Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala, it will be beneficial to
us in this world as well as the
next life.
And the more we turn to Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala, the more we will be
on the Siratul Mustaqeem, that is the straight
path.
The more we do dua to Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala, we will realize our mistakes
and we will repent to Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
