Starting the day off with my dua arsenal. The troubles of the world are unsettling, but I find solace in turning to The One who has power over all things. Allahs Messenger (SAW) said: The prayer of the oppressed is answered, even if he is a sinner as his sinning is only against his own soul. The world needs lots of prayer right now. The power of this prayer of Imam Muhammad al-Dar’i (Dua Nasiri- Prayer of the Oppressed) lies in its simplicity, its purity, and its sincere supplication. It is essentially a plea to God that our transgressions be overlooked, that divine mercy be bestowed upon us, that social justice be restored in spite of us, that wrongs be righted, and that righteousness reign once again in our lands, so that the destitute may no longer be in need, the young may be educated, the animals’ purpose fulfilled, rain restored, and bounties poured forth. It is a plea to be freed from the aggression of foreigners in lands over which they have no right – a plea much needed in our modern world, rampant as it is with invasions and territorial occupations. Ultimately, it asks not that our enemies be destroyed, but simply that their plots, and the harm they cause, be halted. Its essence is mercy, which in turn is the essence of the Messenger of God, Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him: “And We have only sent you as a mercy to all the worlds.” This highly potent dua by the renowned Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Nasir, was recited across Morocco and inspired resistance to the French Occupation. So powerful was it that the French President had to issue an order banning its recitation from the mosques. Moroccans date the movement to return King Muhammad from that outlawing of the dua. It is appropriate to the present state of the world. https://youtube/watch?v=QmjI7uRGlaI Saeeda Islam Najma Islam
