“Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem”Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen was Salaatu was- Salaamu ‘Alaa Sayidinaa Muhammadin wa Aalihi wa Asabihi Ajma ‘een (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)

PAIN/DISTRESS/TESTS

When in fear or anxiety: -Hasbun-Allahu wa neamal wakeel “Allah is Sufficient for us, and what an excellent Trustee He is!”

To free oneself from pain: The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “If a patient puts the hand at the place of pain and recites “Bismillah” thrice and then recites the following supplication 7 times, the pain will, Allah willing, go away.” (Saheeh Muslim) Aoozu be-izzatillahe wa qudratehi min sharre maa ajedu wa uhaaziru. I seek refuge of Allah the Supreme’s Honour and Power from the evil of the suffering I am experiencing and I seek refuge from this suffering.

When in pain and distress—1.say Ya Allah, ya darr (Allah’s name – Darr (the distresser)) 2.say innaillahi wa innailhirajiun.

When a problem appears, say- Tawak kalto al-Allah – I leave my faith in Allah’s hands

SallAllahu alanabbiyy-illummiyye wa aalehi sallAllahu alayhe wa sallam salaata-wwa-salaaman alayka yaa RasoolAllah.

TAQDIR BEFORE AND AFTER ITS MANIFESTATION

1.Before the taqdeer takes place=should seek the help from Allah, depend upon him and supplicate to him (istikhara before its manifestation)

0 Allah if you know that this matter (and you name it) is good for me.., make it easy for me and bestow blessings in it for me. And if you know that this matter is bad for me …, then keep it away from me and turn me away from it and for me the good wherever it is and then content me with it.” (Bukhari).

2.After the taqdeer takes place(Ridha/content after its manifestation)

Taqdir favoring you =thanking/praising Allah (keep patience and hard work)

Sinful deed = should ask Allah’s forgiveness and repent

“Do not say, ‘What Allaah and so and so wishes,’ rather say only, ‘What Allaah

Wishes then so and so.’ Abu Dawood in the Book of Morals (4/295 no. 4980),

 “O Allaah, give my soul piety and purify it, You are the best of those who purify. Truly, You are its Owner and Protector (Sahih Muslim, Kitaab: Remembrance)

Medicines,charity,dua,gooddeeds,seeking Allah’s mercy,maintain family ties,tahjud prayer are some of the ways to counter tests/hardships.

REMEDY —Astagfar ,la hawla wa la quwata ilabillahil aliil azeem, Ayat e karima (la ilaha ila anta subhanaka inni kuntum minz zalimeen) recite n  number of times. Keep reading quran you will come out of grief/calamity. Always say inna lilahi wa innaile hi rajiun and ask for better replacement than the lost one.

Say “O Allah ! keep me alive as long as life is better for me  and let me die if death is better for me”.

Say “Reward me for my loss and give me what is  better than it”.

Good doer must increase his good deeds and bad doer must seek forgiveness/repentance.

Don’t keep duniya(anything that takes you away from Allah) in your heart .

ALWAYS  SAY IN SHA ALLAH/ HE DOES WHATEVER HE WILLS/INNA LILLAHI WA INA ILAHI RAJIUN

Changing situation with efforts/taking action +relying upon Allah

Acquiring patience =being firm upon the truth and obedience .

Keep thanking Allah

Out of his mercy Allah ordains only good for human being(our inability to understand).

For abandunce in provisions and repayment of debt: Allahumma akfenee be-halaaleka an haraameka wa agninee be-fadleka amman sewaka. O Allah! Suffice me with lawful provision and save me from the forbidden, and by Your Munificence make me independent of everyone except You.

For freedom from sorrow and for the attainment of blessings: The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Sending blessings (upon me) removes sorrow and annuls sins.” (Tirmizi Shareef) SallAllahu alanabbiyy-illummiyye wa aalehi sallAllahu alayhe wa sallam salaata-wwa-salaaman alayka yaa RasoolAllah. “Allahs’s blessings be upon the untaught Herald of the Hidden and his progeny, Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him – blessings and peace be upon you, O the Messenger of Allah!”

THE ETIQUETTE OF OFFERING CONDOLENCES

One who consoles Allah (subhanu wa taala) will clothe him with ornaments of honor on the Day of Requital.

One should supplicate for the family of the deceased and encourage them to have patience and think of the reward they will receive from Allah for doing so in this time of distress.

have patience and seek reward from Allah.

Show mercy to others allah, will shower mercy on you.

One should supplicate to Allah that He shows mercy to the deceased.

It is desirable to prepare food for the family of the deceased.

This is a du’a which Rasulullah [Sallallahu álayhi wa sallam] recited to Ummu Salamah [Radiallahu anha] at the death of her husband: “O Allah! Forgive Abu Salamah, elevate his status among the guided people and look after the family that he left behind. O Lord of the universe! Forgive us and him, comfort him in his grave and lighten his stay (in the grave).

mention the reward of patience over that calamity(ask for replacement of loss with better one), the transitory nature of life on earth and that the hearafter is an everlasting abode.

Indeed! Whatever Allah gives or takes belongs to him and everything is predestined by Him.

When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)

Make sure you forward this to others .
