Important Supplications from the Authentic Sunnah

Description

Important Supplications from the Authentic Sunnah by Shaykh ʿAbdur-Razzāq al-Badr is a brief but meaningful compilation of essential duʿāʾs (supplications) authentically reported from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The book is designed to help Muslims connect more deeply with Allah through consistent and sincere supplication, as practiced and taught by the Prophet. Shaykh al-Badr begins by emphasizing the central role of duʿāʾ in the life of a believer, describing it as both an act of worship and a sign of servitude to Allah. He carefully selects supplications that cover various aspects of a Muslim’s daily life—such as seeking forgiveness, guidance, relief from distress, protection from evil, and asking for beneficial knowledge. Each duʿāʾ is presented with its Arabic text, translation, and a brief explanation to help the reader understand its meaning and context. The Shaykh also highlights the etiquettes of making duʿāʾ, such as starting with praise of Allah, sending blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ, raising the hands, facing the qiblah, and being persistent in asking. He draws attention to the times when duʿāʾ is more likely to be accepted, such as during the last third of the night, while fasting, between the adhan and iqamah, and in prostration. The book’s tone is encouraging and rooted in the traditions of the Salaf, aiming to build a habit of daily supplication that strengthens faith and reliance upon Allah. Its simplicity and authenticity make it an excellent resource for Muslims at all levels of knowledge who wish to make the Prophet’s supplications a consistent part of their lives.
