DUA'AS VOLUME THREE PART ONE

MAWLAA IMAM ALI IBNA ABI TALIB SAYS :
Put faith in Alla. Seek his protection. Direct your prayers, requests, solicitations and
supplications to Him and Him alone.
To give as well as to withhold lies in His(only in His) power.
Ask as much of His favours as you can.
Know that Allah owns the treasures of the heavens and the earth. Not only He has
given permission to ask for His mercy and favours, but also has pro9mised to listen to
your prayers. He has not appointed guards to prevent your prayers reaching Him.
Invoke His help in difficulties and distress. Implore Him to grant you long life and
sound health. Pray to Him for prosperity.
Think over it that by simply granting you the privilege of praying for His favours and
mercy, He has handed over the keys of His treasures to you. Whenever, you re in
need, pray and He gives His favours and blessings.
Sometimes you find requests are not immediately granted. Do not be disappointed.
Fulfilment of desires rests with the true propose or intention of the prayer. More often
fulfillment is delayed because the Merciful Lord wants to bestow upon you suitable
rewards. In the meantime, bear patiently hardships, believing sincerely in His help.
You will get better favours, because, unknowingly, you may ask for things which are
really harmful to you. Many of your requests, if granted, may bring eternal damnation.
So, at times, withholding fulfillment is a blessing in disguise.

DU-A'AS OF ISTIGHFAR
Istighfaar means seeking forgiveness of Allah for the sins so far committed and turning
repentant unto Allah.
Ibn Abbas relates that the was in the company of Imam Ali when a man came and said
Mawla, I have transgressed much "Imam Ali told him: PRAY ISTIGHFAAR. Another man
came and said : Mawla my land has become arid and parched, what shall I do ?. Imam
Ali told him PRAY ISTIGHFAR. After a few moments another came and sia Mawla I am
poverty stricken. Nothing I do bearts fruit. Is there any remedy. Imam Ali said: PRAY
ISTIGHFAR. Then another man came and said : Mawla Alla has not yet blessed me with
a child. What should I do. Imam Ali told him PRAY ISTIGHAFAR.
I asked him : O AMIRUL MUMININ - though the problems were different, but to each of
them you advised to pray ISTIGHFAAR.
Imam Ali said : Because Allah says in surah Nuh: And I said : seek forgiveness of your
Lord. Verily he is ever most forgiving. He will send you abundant rain from the
heaven and will help you with wealth and sons, and will make for you gardens and will
make for your rivers.

(3) He who intends to do wrong but does not put it into practice will not be asked for
any explanation.

evil deeds to wait. May be the sinner does a good deed which wipes out the evil deed
done by him.

According to Imam Jafar bin Muihammad as Sadiq, Ibn Babawayh and Muhammad
Kulayni say, whoever recites the following du-a'a 10 times every day receives equal to
the recompense of 45000 good deeds; moreover 45000 evil deeds from his record of
deeds will be deleted and his rank in the life of the hereafter will be raised by 45000
degrees. This, du-a'a also serves as an impregnable fortress against the evil designs
of the men in power. It also gives strength and assurance of faith to do good and
avoid evil. It is also said that the rewards of reciting this du-a'a is equal to the
recompense of reciting the whole Quran 12 times.

Quran, seek the intercession of the prophets of Allah and be sure that not a single

the prophets of Allah.

DUA'A 50
It is reported on the authority of the Holy Prophet that there are many groups and
formations of the spirits, and the spirit(run) of a mumin (believer) is closely associated
with the spirits of the prophets and the Ahl ul Bayt. Those spirits who are known to
each other in this world remain consciously aware of one another in the other world of
spirits when they go from here(die). Those who have gone to the realm of the spirits
sometimes make contact with the people they knew here.
According to many reliable traditions the spirit of a mumin dwells with the spirits of the
holy and the pious. When pure spirit is deposited or caged in the body then the
influence of the human organism gives birth to satanic tendencies, but the spirits of
those who are very near to Allah remain in contact with the higher spirits of the other
world and receive guidance and blessings agt every step in this world.
Contd..13

The thoroughly deprives slaves of the satan, having lost their contact with the higher
spirits go astray and all doors of goodness and guidance are closed upon them.
There are another type of people who were in contact with the higher spirits, but
tempted by the satanic influences go in for immoral desires and pleasures, yet their
conscience, at random, calls their attention to the path of goodness and virtue. The
sin, and then turn repentant to Allah, seek His forgiveness and pardon. Because of
their involvement with the immoral satanic association the spirits of the prophets and
the Ahl ul Bayt keep them at a distance, but when they sleep the good spirits, known
to them hearken them to the path of goodness and piety, because in sleep their
association with the satanic influences does not have an upper hand. As the sleep
becomes more and more sound, the spirit feels free from the satanic spell and tries to
reach the divine kingdom. At that time, whatever a mumin drams is free from
falsehood.

According to Imam Muhammad bin Ali al Baqir the good news in the life of this world
refers to the good dreams and the happiness which they give to the dreamers
As the soundness of sleep reaches its highest point at the end of the night the higher
spirits communicate to the dreamer and inspite him to get of bed, turn repentant to
Allah and seek his forgiveness. His is the time of praying tahajjud (see our book) the
prayers) In praise of this hour the following verse has been revealed.
INNA NAASHI-ATAL LAYLI HIYA ASHADDU WAT'AW WA AQWAMU QEELAA
Those who avail this hour reach nearness to Allah and remain in contact with the
higher spirits who show them the path to goodness and piety and keep them safe from
the clutches of the satanic sway.
