The Radiance of Dua Azkar: A Comprehensive Dua Book with Translitration and Translation. - Paperback

by Ibrahim Sayuti (Author)

Making dua is regarded as a kind of worship in Islam, and Muslims are encouraged to do it in all spheres of their lives. Using dua, one can communicate with Allah (SWT) and ask for His assistance and direction. There is a belief that Allah (SWT) listens and responds to the prayers of His followers and that He would grant anything, no matter how difficult.

Muslims perform dua azkar, a particular kind of supplication, for a variety of reasons. They are perfect for daily recitation because they are succinct and simple to memorize. Reciting SubhanAllah (glory be to Allah), Alhamdulillah (praise be to Allah), and "Allahu Akbar" (Allah is greatest) are some of the most popular azkars. To make them all easier to comprehend and pronounce, they have all been translated and transliterated.
It is also typical in Islam to recite specific dua azkar for particular objectives. For instance, reciting "Astaghfirullah" (I seek Allah's forgiveness) is a way to ask for pardon for sins, whereas "La ilaha illa anta, Subhanaka, inni kuntu min al-thalimin" (Truly, I am one of the wrongdoers) is a way to ask for Allah's (SWT) assistance and protection).

In addition to constantly reciting dua azkar himself, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) also urged his followers to do so. According to him, a Muslim's request for the well-being of his absent brother is readily granted, and an angel is sent to stand by his side. The assigned angel always responds with Amen and May you too be blessed with the same when he prays for his brother.
