Islam is a Deen of peace and tranquility. Its principles are simple and comprehensive and give guidance to human beings to the straight path. It is the deen that makes direct concern between man and God that whenever a needy person calls to Allah Almighty, He Replies at once and Helps him. The Holy Qu’an reveals:-
“And when My servants question thee unto Me, then surely I am nigh. I answer the prayer the suppliant when He crieth unto Me. So let them hear My call and let them trust in Me. In order they may be led aright. (Al-Baqarah:186)
This world is a trial-base for human being where he is trialed by various manners. He often has to face a painful state of affairs in his life that makes him confuse.
But he gets complete inner peace when he makes a call to Allah Almighty, Master of the world. Dua is a power full source to solve the problems of the faithful believers. Because every works and action is done by Allah Subhanhu wa Ta’ala So, when a believer raises his hands for dua, he makes direct concern to Allah Almighty to solve his problems.
The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said that dua was the essence of worship. He also said that Allah became angry over the believer that did not make dua. We find an example of acceptance of a unique and strange Dua of a Messenger of Allha Hazrat Zachaaria(A.S) asking for a son in the old age as mentioned in the Holy Qur’an :-“ A mention of the mercy of thy Lord unto His servant Zachariah:- When he cried unto his Lord a cry in secret. Saying: My Lord! The bones of the wax feeble and my head is shinning with grey hair, and I have never blest in prayer to Thee, my Lord. Lo! I fear my kinsfolk after me, since my wife is barren. Oh, give me from Thy presence a successor Who shall inherit of me and inherit (Also) of the house of Jacob. And make him, my Lord, acceptable (unto Thee).
(It was said unto him): O Zachariah! Lo! We bring tiding of a son whose name is John We have given the same name to none before (him).
He said my Lord! How can I have a son when my wife is barren and I have reached infirm old age? He said: So (it will be) Thy Lord saith: it is easy to Me, even as I created thee before, when thou was naught.” (Mary:9) The question is: when a man is almost seventy of eighty and his wife is barren, unable to deliver a child, then what is the hope to get a child? But the Holy Quran makes it clear that Allah Subhanhu wa Ta’ala can do everything and there is nothing impossible for Him.
The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said that there were three Du’as that would be accepted surely and there was no doubt in it. First was the Du’a of parents for their children, that if the children served them and made them happy,then they wished good, it was accepted , and on the other hand if they made a painful behavior and teased them, and they cursed their children, then it was accepted inevitably.
In short, du;a is a powerful source of to get anything from Allah Almighy. So, ever faithful believer should make management for du’a. May Allah Give us power to do so. Ameen.
