Which Ahadith and references from the scholars could be provided to answer this question? - I will post an answer to this question - Square brackets [ ] are additions or/and individual changes (for clarity) of the author's thread ----------- Continuation of "the authentic, standard supplications (A'dyiah) and rememberances (Adhkar) after the Prayer ." ----------- >The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "[...] *And He commands you to remember Allah. For indeed, the parable of that is a man whose enemy quickly tracks him until he reaches an impermeable fortress in which he protects himself from them. This is how the worshiper is; he does not protect himself from Ash-Shaytan except by the remembrance of Allah.*" > >At-Tirmidhi (2863 ) Abu I'sa graded Hasan Sahih Gharib >Allah says in Surah Ar-Ra'd, Ayah 28 : "***Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured***" ---- Every Dhikr or Du'a should be uttered with the full Yaqin (certainty) and with full understanding of what is said (translation) so that you make use of them.

Assalamu aleykum, when breaking our fast we say this duaa : The thirst is gone, and the veins are moistened and the reward is certain InshaAllah. My question is, how do we interpret this since we say it right after we break the fast so our veins don't moisten immediately for instance. So is it more of a description of the process? Any answer would help. Jazakum Allahu khairan.

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته I am a student preparing for an upcoming medical exam. I have been making duaa since Ramadan that I get a certain score in my medical exam that I knew it is extremely hard for me to get despite my efforts. I have recently changed my duaa to get a perfect score in the exam. This score I knew is IMPOSSIBLE for me to get regardless of my work. So, is it permissible to ask Allah of such duaa or not? I also alhamdulillah, all thanks to Allah I pray at masjid and I do my best in my worship and in my studying but the stimulation exams show results very far from the perfect score I am dreaming of

He said "I wasted all that time and tears for nothing...." My question is: Can anyone prove to me dua really works? Because God said call me and I will answer. Islam is confusing and don't tell me there's three ways of answering dua.

As Allah knows everything about our future including our *duas*, therefore, at that time in the past for which I am praying now, He knew that I will make a *dua*, right? Allah is capable of anything and everything. So, can I make *dua* for the past?

Somehow that doesn’t really sound authentic/ part of the sunnah to me, which is why it would be helpful if someone of knowledge would help me clarify this matter.

Are these ahadith regarding reciting "Allah is sufficient for me..." seven times authentic?
Assalamu alaikum. Recently I have seen the following excerpt which I'm copying here... > Hasbiyallaahu laa 'ilaaha 'illaa Huwa 'alayhi tawakkaltu wa Huwa Rabbul-'Arshil-'Adheem. > > Allah is sufficient for me. There is none worthy of worship but Him. I have placed my trust in Him, He is Lord of the...
Assalamu alaikum. Recently I have seen the following excerpt which I'm copying here... > Hasbiyallaahu laa 'ilaaha 'illaa Huwa 'alayhi tawakkaltu wa Huwa Rabbul-'Arshil-'Adheem. > > Allah is sufficient for me. There is none worthy of worship but Him. I have placed my trust in Him, He is Lord of the Majestic Throne. (Recite seven times in Arabic.) and > Allah will grant whoever recites this seven times in the morning or evening whatever he desires from this world or the next, Ibn As-Sunni (no. 71), Abu Dawud 4/321. Both reports are attributed directly to the Prophet (Marfu1). The chain of transmission is sound (Sahih). Ibn As-Sunni." My question is I have previously read about this Hadith where it states that it is fabricated. But now as I see the above mentioned excerpt in two different sites I am confused. Can anyone tell me which one is right? I mean is it really fabricated or is there any level of authenticity in it? Also please mention some authentic Dua for getting out of distresses and fulfillment of wishes.

Which authentic Ahadith exist to act upon if somebody faces trouble, tough times, grief, et cetera, in his or her life? (I will post a comprehensive answer to this question) --- [...] "***whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah, hearts are assured.***" Surah ***Ar-R'ad [28 ***] --- >Mus'ab bin S'ad narrated from his father that a man said: 'O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), which of the people is tried most severely? He said: "*The Prophets, then those nearest to them, then those nearest to them. A man is tried according to his religion; if he is firm in his religion, then his trials are more severe, and if he is frail in his religion, then he is tried according to the strength of his religion. The servant shall continue to be tried until he is left walking upon the earth without any sins.*" > >At-Tirmidhi (2398 ) and Abu I'sa classed it Hasan Sahih >The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "*Indeed, a man will have a status with Allah, the Exalted, so if he does not achieve it with his deeds, He continues to plague him with what he hates until he reaches it.*" > >Al-Mustadrak (1/495 ) Shaykh Albani classed it Hasan in As-Sahihah (4/130 - #1599 ) >The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "*Know that victory comes with patience, and that ease comes with difficulties, and that with hardship there is relief!*" > >Musnad Ahmad (2803 ) classed Sahih in As-Sahihah (5/496-7 - #2382 ) --- Important: Utter these A'diyah/Adhkar with full Yaqin (certainty) to make it more convenient so that Allah answers it; so that you know exactly the words which you speak. Memorise the translation, and think about it (while saying them) as well.

I have a really specific situation. I need to get a minimum grade of BBB in my exams however I feel as though I will get far from this. It is compulsory I get these grades otherwise I cannot continue with education. However I didn't finish two of the exams, so I am not confident at all. My question is, is there any chance through making dua and praying 2/3 of the night for a long time, and sincerely asking Allah to help me get three B's is it possible? I know with Allah anything is possible. However I mean is it realistic? I would need a miracle. I am desperate for these grades however I don't think it's realistic. What should I do? Prayer and dua is my only option.
