To Proclaim “Ya Rasool ALLAH”

Hazrat Shah Wali’ullah Dehlwi (ra) states: “I cannot perceive anyone besides the Holy Prophet ﷺ who, for the depressed person at times of calamities, will forward a helping hand.” (Ateebul Ghanum fi Madh-e-Sayyadal Arabi Wal Ajam).

Hazrat Shah Wali’ullah Dehlwi (ra) explains: In the august court of the Holy Prophet ﷺ one should consider oneself insignificant and inferior. With a broken heart and with total sincerity, one should call to the Prophet ﷺ in Du’a. The person will indeed attain salvation if he states: “O Rasool of Allah! O Unique among the Creation! I seek your favour on the Day of Justice. On that Day when there will be a great test, only you, O Prophet of Allah, would give security from all calamities! I have turned to you for salvation and have my trust in you.” (Madhiyaa Hamziya)

Sayyindina lbn Abbas narrated that Allah’s Messenger — passed by some graves of Madinah. He turned his face towards them, and said: Peace be on you, O people of the grave![ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الْقُبُورِ] May Allah forgive us and you. You have gone before us and we are to follow.[Sunan tirmidhi Chapter 59 Hadith # 1055]

Ibn Kathir reports: Imam Ahmad(ra) told: I have performed hajj (pilgrimage) five times of which three were on foot. I have spent 30 Dirhams in one Hajj. In one of my pilgrimages I lost my way. And I was walking. Then I began to tell “ O the servants of Allah, help me on my way. And I continued this till reach the way. (al bidaya wal nihaya)

Abdullah bin Masud [ra] has narrated that the Prophet(ﷺ) said:When you lose your means of transport in a jungle, you should call: ‘O creatures of Allah! Help me, recover my transport! O creatures of Allah! Help me, recover my transport!’ There are many of Allah’s creatures on this earth. They will help you recover it. Tabarani narrated it in al-Mujam-ul-kabir (10:217#10518); Abuyala Musnad (9:177)


…….Uthman ibn Hunayf replied, “By Allah, I didn’t speak to him, but I have seen a blind man come to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and complain to him of the loss of his eyesight. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Can you not bear it?’ and the man replied, ‘O Messenger of Allah, I do not have anyone to lead me around, and it is a great hardship for me.’ The Prophet (ﷺ) told him, ‘Go to the place of ablution and perform ablution (wudu), then pray two rak’as of prayer and make the supplications.'” Ibn Hunayf went on, “By Allah, we didn’t part company or speak long before the man returned to us as if nothing had ever been wrong with him.”

(Tabarani, in his “al-Mu’jam al saghir”,al-Haithami in his Majma‘ al-Zawà’id, p. 179, vol. 2 , al-Mundhiri in his al-Targhib wa al-Tarhib )

A Sahabi, who was blind by birth, was taught a special Du’a by the Holy Prophet ﷺ, which he was to recite after every Salaah. The Du’a is as follows: “Allahumma Inni As Aluka Wa Ata Wajjahu Ilaika Binabiyika Muhammadin Nabiyyir rahmati Ya Muhammadu Inni Ata Wajjahu Bika ila Rabbi Fi Haajati haazihi lituqda li. Allahumma Fashaf’fi’u Fiya”. (O Allah, I ask from you, and turn towards you through the Wasila (Medium) of Your Nabi Muhammad ﷺ, who is indeed a Prophet of Mercy. O Muhammad, with your Wasila (Medium) I turn towards Allah for my need so that it may be bestowed. O Allah, accept the Prophet’s intercession for me).

Ibn Umar had numbness in his leg, whereupon a man said to him:“Remember the most beloved of people to you”, so he said: “Ya Muhammad”[Imam al-Bukhari in Adab al-Mufrad (Hadith No. 964) .

Imaam-e-Mujtahid Sayyidi Abdur Rahman Huzaili Kufi Masoodi (ra) was the grandson of Hazrat Abdullah ibn Masood (ra). He was also a very great Jurist and a Taabi’in of high rank. It is stated that he used to wear a long hat with the inscribed words, “Muhammad, Ya Mansoor.”

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)
