La ilaha illa anta subhanaka

What are the times, places and situations where du’a is answered? And what is meant by the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) “Dubur al-salawat al-maktubah (following the prescribed prayers)”? Is the prayer of a father for his child answered, or is it a prayer against him that is answered? I hope you can explain all these matters. Among the times
when du’a is accepted are the following: 1. Laylat al-Qadar 2. In the depths of the night 3. Following the prescribed prayers 4. Between the adhan and the iqamah 5. When the call for the prescribed prayers is given 6. When rain falls 7. At a certain time of the night 8. A certain time on Friday 9. When drinking Zamzam water 10. When prostrating 11. When hearing the crowing
of a rooster 12. Du’a of one who is sick Praise be to Allah.There are many times and places where du’a is answered. There follows a summary thereof: Laylat al-Qadar . ‘Aishah asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): “If I know what night is Laylat al-Qadar, what should I say during it?” He said: “Say: Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibb ul-‘afwa fa’fu ‘anni
(O Allah, You are forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me).” Du’a in the depths of the night, the time before dawn, the time when Allah descends to bestow His bounty upon His slaves, to meet their needs and to relieve their distress, when He says: “Who will call upon Me, that I may answer Him? Who will ask of Me, that I may give him? Who will seek My forgiveness, that
I may forgive him?” (Narrated by al-Bukhari, 1145) Following the prescribed prayers . According to the hadith of Abu Umamah, it was said: “O Messenger of Allah, which du’a is heard?” He said: “In the last third of the night, and following the prescribed prayers.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 3499; classed as hasan by al-Albani in Sahih al-Tirmidhi. There was some difference of
scholarly opinion concerning the phrase dubur al-salawat al-maktubah (“following the prescribed prayers”) – does it mean before the salam or afterwards? Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah and his student Ibn al-Qayyim were of the view that it is before the salam. Ibn Taymiyah said: “The word dubur refers to something that is part of a thing, like dubur al-hayawan (the
hindquarters of an animal).” Zad al-Ma'ad, 1.305. Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymin said: “What has been narrated of du’a following the prayer is before the salam and what has been narrated of dhikr following the prayer is after the salam, because Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “When you have finished As-Salah (the congregational prayer), remember Allah standing, sitting
down, and (lying down) on your sides.” [al-Nisa 4:103] (See: Kitab al-Du’a by Shaykh Muhammad al-Hamad, p. 54) Between the adhan and the iqamah. It is narrated in a sahih report that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “A du’a offered between the adhan and iqamah is not rejected.” (Narrated by Abu Dawud (521) and al-Tirmidhi (212). See also
Sahih al-Jami’, 2408) When the call for the prescribed prayers is given and when the ranks are drawn up for battle, as it says in the marfu' hadith of Sahl ibn Sa’d: “There are two that will not be rejected, or will rarely be rejected: du’a at the time of the call for prayer and at the time of battle when the fighting begins.” (Narrated by Abu Dawud; it is a sahih report.
See Sahih al-Jami’, 3079) When rain falls , as it said in the hadith of Sahl ibn Sa’d that is attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): “There are two which will not be rejected: du’a at the time of the call (to prayer) and when it is raining.” (Narrated by Abu Dawud and classed as sahih by al-Albani in Sahih al-Jami’, (3078). At a certain time of the night,
as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “During the night there is a time when the Muslim does not ask for the good of this world and the Hereafter but it will be given to him, and that happens every night.” (Narrated by Muslim, 757) A certain time on Friday . The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) mentioned Friday and said:
“During it there is a time when a Muslim slave does not stand and pray and ask Allah for something, but He will give it to him,” and he gestured with his hand to indicate how short that time is. (Narrated by al-Bukhari, 935; Muslim, 852.

See also question no. 21748) When drinking Zamzam water . Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Zamzam water is for that for which it is drunk.” (Narrated by Ahmad and classed as sahih by al-Albani in Sahih al-Jami’, 5502) When prostrating. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)
said: “The closest that a person is to his Lord is when he is prostrating, so say a great deal of du’a then.” (Narrated by Muslim, 482) When hearing the crowing of a rooster, because of the hadith: “When you hear the crowing of a rooster, ask Allah of His bounty, for he has seen an angel.” (Narrated by al-Bukhari, 2304; Muslim, 2729) When saying the du’a, “La ilaha illa anta,
subhanaka, inni kuntu min al-zalimin ([none has the right to be worshipped but You (O Allah)], Glorified (and Exalted) be You [above all that (evil) they associate with You]! Truly, I have been of the wrongdoers – cf al-Anbiya 21:87]).” It was narrated in a sahih hadith that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The prayer of Dhu’l-Nun (Yunus) which he said
when he was in the belly of the whale: ‘La ilaha illa anta, subhanaka, inni kuntu min al-zalimin ([none has the right to be worshipped but You (O Allah)], Glorified (and Exalted) be You [above all that (evil) they associate with You]! Truly, I have been of the wrongdoers.’ No Muslim recites this du’a concerning any matter but Allah will answer him.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi and
classed as sahih in Sahih al-Jami’, 3383. In his commentary on the passage (interpretation of the meaning): “And (remember) Dhun-Nun (Jonah), when he went off in anger, and imagined that We shall not punish him (i.e. the calamities which had befallen him)! But he cried through the darkness (saying): La ilaha illa Anta [none has the right to be worshipped but You (O Allah)],
Glorified (and Exalted) be You [above all that (evil) they associate with You]! Truly, I have been of the wrongdoers.” So We answered his call, and delivered him from the distress. And thus We do deliver the believers (who believe in the Oneness of Allah, abstain from evil and work righteousness).” [al-Anbiya 21:87-88] Al-Qurtubi said: In this verse, Allah stipulates that whoever
calls upon Him, He will answer him as He answered and saved Dhu’l-Nun (Yunus). This is what is meant by the words “And thus We do deliver the believers”. (Al-Jami’ li Ahkam il-Quran, 11/334) If a calamity befalls him and he says, Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un, Allahumma ujurni fi musibati w'ukhluf li khayran minha (Truly, to Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall
return; O Allah, reward me in this calamity and compensate me with something better than it). It was narrated by Muslim in his Sahih (918) that Umm Salamah said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: “There is no calamity that befalls one of the Muslims and he responds by saying ‘Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un, Allahumma ujurni fi
musibati w'ukhluf li khayran minha (Truly, to Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return; O Allah, reward me in this calamity and compensate me with something better than it),’ but Allah will compensate him with something better than it.” The prayer of people after the soul of the deceased has been taken. According to the hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allah be upon him) entered upon Abu Salamah (after he had died) and his eyes were open. He closed them and said: “When the soul is taken, the gaze follows it.” Some of his family got upset and he said: “Do not pray for anything but good for yourselves, for the angels say Amin to whatever you say.” Narrated by Muslim. 2732. Du’a for one who is sick. Muslim (919) narrated
that Umm Salamah said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “When you visit a sick person, say good things, for the angels say Amin to whatever you say…” When Abu Salamah died, I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: “Abu Salamah has died.” He said: “Say: O Allah, forgive me and him, and
compensate me well.” She said: I said: And Allah compensated me with one who was better for me than him: Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The prayer of the one who has been wronged. In the hadith it says: “Fear the prayer of the one who has been wronged, for there is no barrier between it and Allah.” Narrated by al-Bukhari, 469; Muslim, 19. And
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The prayer of the one who has been wronged will be answered, even if he is an evildoer, for his evildoing is only against himself.” Narrated by Ahmad. See Sahih al-Jami’, 3382. The du’a of a father for his child – i.e., for his benefit – and the du’a of a fasting person during the day of his fast, and the prayer of the
traveller. It was narrated in a sahih report that our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “There are three prayers that are not rejected: the prayer of a father for his child, the prayer of the fasting person and the prayer of the traveller.” Narrated by al-Bayhaqi; see Sahih al-Jami’, 2032; al-Sahihah, 1797. The prayer of a father against his child – i.e., to harm
him.
According to a sahih hadith: ‘There are three prayers that will be answered: the prayer of one who has been wronged, the prayer of a traveller, and the prayer of a father against his child.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1905. See Sahih al-Adab al-Mufrad, 372. The du’a of a righteous person for his parents, as stated in the hadith narrated by Muslim (1631): “When the son of Adam
dies, all his good deeds come to an end except three: ongoing charity, a righteous son who will pray for him, or beneficial knowledge.” Du’a after the sun has passed its zenith and before Zhuhr. ‘Abd-Allah ibn al-Saib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to pray four rak'ahs after the sun had
passed its zenith and before Zhuhr, and he said: “This is a time when the gates of heaven are opened and I want a good deed of mine to ascend during this time.” (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi and its isnad is sahih.

See Takhrij al-Mishkaat, 1/337) Du’a when getting up from the night (sleep), and saying the du’a that was narrated for that time. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever awakens from the night and says La ilaha ill-Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahu al-mulku wa lahu al-hamd, wa huwa 'ala kulli shay-in qadir. Alhamdulillah, wa Subhanallah, wa la
ilaha illa Allah wallahu akbar wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa Billah (There is no god but Allah Alone, He has no partners, His is the Sovereignty, to Him belongs praise and He is over all things Capable. Glory be to Allah, there is no (true) God but Allah, and Allah is Most Great and there is no power and no strength except with Allah), then he says: Allahumma ighfir li (O Allah,
forgive me), or he makes du’a, his prayer will be answered, and if he does wudu and prays, his prayer will be accepted.” Narrated by al-Bukhari, 1154. And Allah knows best. Question It is said in a Hadith that if a Muslim recites this verse forty times during illness and dies then his death will be that of Martyrs (Shahid). And if he gets well then his sins will be forgiven. This verse
(Ayah) also strengthens one’s du’a if recited during du’a. (Al-Hakim) What is the authenticity of this Hadith and what is the verse? Answer Your question is made up of two Hadiths: 1) Sayyiduna Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “The du’a Yunus (‘alayhis salam) which he made while in the belly of the whale, ‘La
ilaha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu minaz zalimin‘, no Muslim makes du’a using these words except that Allah will accept that du’a” (Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 3505. Declared authentic –sahih– by Imam Hakim and ‘Hafiz Dhahabi concurs. Mustadrak, vol. 1 pg. 505) 2) Sayyiduna Sa’d ibn Malik (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said
regarding the verse ‘La ilaha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu minaz zalimin‘, Whomsoever reads this verse forty times during illness and passes away in that illness will be granted the reward of a martyr, if he is cured then he will be cured in the condition that all of his sins are forgiven” (Mustadrak Hakim, vol. 1 pg. 506) However, this Hadith has been reported with an extremely
weak chain.

The Muhaddithun have severely discredited the reliability of a narrator of this Hadith. ‘Allamah Dhahabi (rahimahullah) states, ‘His narrations are like fabrications’. (Mizanul I’tidal, vol. 3 pg. 256 -number: 5998-) This narration should therefore not be quoted. This du’a is certainly a powerful du’a. Allah Ta’ala says: “When [Yunus ‘alayhis salam] called out in the darkness [of the
whale’s belly], La ilaha illa anta subhanak inni kuntu minaz zalimin. So we responded to his du’a and rescued him from distress. Similarly we rescue the Believers” (Surah Ambiya, Verses: 87 and 88) A person may recite this du’a as many times as he wishes. Insha Allah, Allah will remove all distress through the barakah of this du’a. And Allah Ta’ala Knows best. Answered by:
Moulana Suhail Motala Approved by: Moulana Muhammad Abasoomar Checked by: Moulana Haroon Abasoomar This ayat (commonly referred to as Ayat E Kareema or just Ayat Karima) is mentioned in Surah Anbiya Verse 87. The full ayah goes as follows: “And [mention] the man of the fish, when he went off in anger and thought that We would not decree [anything] upon him.
And he called out within the darknesses, “There is no deity except You; exalted, are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers.” it continues on, “So We responded to him and saved him from the distress. And thus do We save the believers.” If you’re familiar with the story of Prophet Yunus you’ll know that Prophet Yunus gave up on his people. Without the permission of Allah,
he decided to leave the city of Nineveh in hopes to find a city that would more readily accept him and the message of Islam. This is why the Quran mentions “the man of the fish, when he went off in anger and thought that We would not decree [anything] upon him”. As punishment he was kicked off and abandoned by his ship members, swallowed by a whale, and left in
darkness. At this moment he cried out remembering Allah, praising Allah, admitting his faults in the matter by saying “Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers.” Allah seeing the genuine and sincere apology had then relieve him. Significance of La Ilaha Illa Anta Subhanaka This short dua also encompasses the concept of tawheed, one of the most basic tenets of Islam. By saying
this dua, you are consciously and deliberately declaring that Allah (swt) is the only deity, the exalted. You then show your humility by admitting your faults and weakness. I forget who had said this, I believe it was Hazrat Ali, but the message is still valid, the worst sin is that which a sinner takes lightly. We should be constantly repenting to Allah (swt) at any moment we are
free. We are all guilty of not making the best use of our time, some are better than others but we can all improve. We should all strive to have as little idle time as possible. This is why we should mix this heavy ayah into our diverse toolbox of duas and azkar. The best form of dhikr is to recite Quran with an understanding of its meanings.

Minaz zalimin is a supplication of prophet Yunus when he called Allah from the belly of the fish.It is a short and powerful Dua, and in this post we will look at the meaning and benefits of this versatile supplication.La Ilaha Illa anta can be written in Arabic text as‫ﻦ‬ ِ ِ ‫ﻦ ﻟﻈ ٰﻠ‬

subhanaka in English is: None has the right to be worshipped except You; Glory be unto You. Indeed I have been from the wrongdoers.This short and versatile Dua is mentioned in surah Surah Anbiya Verse 87.There are quite number of Hadith about this Dua but the most well known is a hadith narrated by Tirmidhi. The full Hadith isSa’d reported: The Messenger of Allah,
peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The supplication of Yunus when he called upon Allah inside the belly of the whale was this, ‘There is no God but you, glory be to you, for I have been among the wrongdoers,’. Verily, a Muslim never supplicates for anything with it but that Allah will answer him.”Source: Sunan al-Tirmidhi 3505Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-
Albani.Look at this (level of) distress which had befallen Yunus, upon him be peace. The fish had swallowed him and taken him down to the depths of the ocean.Look at this great distress. (He was) within the belly of the fish and in the depths of the ocean. This was a great calamity.So there came nothing from him, upon him be peace, except that he repeated these words.‘None
has the right to be worshipped except You; Glory be unto You. Indeed I have been from the wrongdoers. ’He was in darkness calling out; in darkness. (He was in) the darkness of the belly of the fish; the darkness of the ocean; and the darkness of the night.He was in the depths of the ocean repeating these words.‘None has the right to be worshipped except You; Glory be unto
You. Indeed I have been from the wrongdoers. ’This is the supplication of Dhun-Noon when he supplicated within it while in the belly of the fish.He was repeating it; so Allaah the Mighty and Majestic gave permission to the fish and commanded it to release him and He caused the squash plant to grow for him and He returned to him his health and strength after he had been in
the depths of the ocean.However, Yoonus upon him be peace, said this blessed supplication while trusting in Allaah and relying upon Him and turning to Allaah for refuge, knowing that the relief from his grief was in the hand of Allaah, Glorified be He.This statement contains four affairs and benefits:The First Affair: At-Tawheed. (In his statement): Laa Ilaha Ma-Allaah there is
the Tawheed of Allaah.The Second Affair: Absolving Allaah (from imperfections). In his statement: Subhaanaka (Glory be unto You). The meaning of: ‘Glory be unto You is: I absolve You, O Allaah, from everything which does not befit You. I absolve You from deficiencies and defects. I absolve You from what the (false) describers, from the enemies of the Messengers, describe You
with.“Glorified be your Lord, the Lord of Honor and Power! (He is free) from what they attribute unto Him!”The Third Affair: (It contains) acknowledgement of wrongdoing and shortcoming: ‘Indeed I have been from the wrongdoers.The Fourth Affair: Servitude to Allaah, the Glorified and High, and your acknowledgement that you are a servant of Allaah the Mighty and Majestic,
and you cannot do without Allaah for the twinkling of an eye.So this contains a great treatment and a blessed cure.Due to this, the person is to run for refuge in all of his calamities, and in all of his instances of fright and hard times, to Allaah.None should be ran to for refuge except Allaah; in any affliction that hits him, and in any calamity that befalls him, none should be run to
for refuge except Allaah.All of the created beings and mankind together, by Allaah, have no power to do anything for you.If Allaah wants to cause harm to you, they cannot repel it. If He wishes to have mercy upon you, then they are not able to withhold it.“Whatever of mercy (i.e. of good), Allaah may grant to mankind; none can withhold it, and whatever He may withhold, none
can grant it thereafter. And He is the Almighty, the All-Wise.”The harm which Allaah wills to befall, none can remove it nor can anyone lift it.The One who lowers, the One who raises, the One who grasps, the One who spreads, the Giver, the Withholder, the One who honors (some), the One who humiliates (others), the One in Whose Hand are all affairs.He is Allaah, the Glorified
and High. So none should be run to for refuge except Him and none should be relied upon except Him, Glorified and Exalted be He.So this is supplication or statement of remembrance which is affirmed within the Sunnah from the Prophet regarding treatment for stress.Anyone who is faced with sadness may use this dua, it is a beautiful wording that is mentioned by Allah in the
Quran.Follow us on Social Media Prophet Yunus or Jonah () cried out La ilaha illa Anta Subhanaka Inni Kuntu Minaz Zalimin when he was in the belly of the whale in darkness.
