The Philosophy of DUA

Dua is the weapon of a believer.... It will protect you from the evils of enemies
Dua is the shield of a believer... It will increase your sustenance.
Dua is more forceful than a sword.

Dua replaces what has been destined and also creates that what has not been destined.
Dua is a form of ibaadat.
Dua removes both the present suffering and that which will come down later.

Dua and sufferings challenge each other until the Day of Judgment,
And Dua comes out victorious.

Dua is so powerful that Dua has the power to create and alter fate...
If Allah's servant keeps his mouth shut and does not ask anything from Him,
Nothing will be given to him. Therefore ask Allah for what you need so that He will give it to you.
Whoever knocks on a door persistently will be allowed in.
If you keep on knocking the door of Divine Mercy, sooner or later it will be opened for you.

Never get tired of Dua, for Allah has attached much value to it.
Allah says, "And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out. And will provide for him from where he does not expect.
And whoever relies upon Allah - then He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose.
Allah has already set for everything a [decreed] extent." [at-Talaq 65:3-4]

If Allah grants someone a chance of making Dua, He will not deprive him of answer.

A believer's Dua will increase his good deeds and rewards him in the Hereafter
As his other good deeds are rewarded.

A believer who makes Dua receives one of three things: Either:
- he will quickly have his Dua answered - Or he will get in the Hereafter
- Or something bad will be prevented from him equal to the value of his Dua.

Everything has a proper discipline to it, and so does Dua.
Duas are not answered when requirements of Dua have not been fulfilled.

Whoever obeys Allah's order and offers his Dua properly, they will be answered.....
Praise Allah Almighty. Remember Him and thank Him for His blessings.
Send greetings to the Holy Prophet . Pray your Salaat regularly .

Recite Qur'an regurarly, Seek Tauba, Attain Taqwa, that is the right way for Dua.
Dua which is not made properly does not even ascend towards Allah.

It may be that you dislike a thing while it is good for you, and it may be that you love a thing while it is evil for you.
At such times, refer to He who knows the best, and that is Allah.
Allah knows, while we do not know.
So we must make Dua to Allah, then be patient,
Have faith in His unquestionable decision and trust His absolute wisdom.

Never have this impression that Allah Almighty has opened the door of making Dua But has closed the door of answering it.

Sometimes Allah delays answering the Dua to give a greater reward and a further blessing.
What a catastrophe it would be if Allah answered every prayer at the snap of your fingers.
Do you know what would happen? Allah would become your servant, not your Master.
Suddenly Allah would be working for you, instead of you working for Allah.

Remember, Allah's delay is not Allah's denial.
Allah's timing is perfect.

Patience and trust is needed.... It would be impossible for me to sum up everything about Dua in this extremely brief mail. If I were to summarize the whole concept of Dua into one single statement, it would be this:
Dua is a form of Ibaadat.... such a powerful Ibaadat that it can create and alter fate, and that Allah is generous and if His servant raises his hands towards Him, He feels reluctant not to accept it.
