Essential Duas for Muslims

Texte du rabat

All praise is due to Allah Ta'ala, The Supreme Master of all the worlds. Countless Durood and Salaam be upon our beloved Nabi, Sayyidina Muhammad [PBUH]. We have been taught by Rasulullah [PBUH] to recite duas at different occasions of our life. From the time we awaken till the time we go to sleep we have been taught to recite these duas. In this manner our entire day passes in the remembrance of Allah Ta'ala. It is mentioned in the Hadith that Rasulullah [PBUH] used to remember Allah Ta'ala at all times. A great amount of the constant remembrance was by means of the recitation of the duas for the various occasions. The recitation of these duas also strengthens our bond with Allah Ta'ala and increases the love for our Creator in our hearts. The Noble Sahaabah (companions) of Rasulullah [PBUH] preserved these duas and in turn taught it to the Ummah. Al-hamdulillah, it is only with the fadhal of Allah Ta'ala that the Ta'limi Board (KZN) has compiled these duas in a booklet for the easy reference for children in the makaatib. The duas have been separated in grades to facilitate easier learning for them. An effort to mention some virtues of each dua was also made to serve as an encouragement for the pupils to recite these duas. Parents need to play an important role of constantly encouraging and reminding their children to recite these duas at the appropriate time. Thus when the child is woken up in the morning, before he enters the toilet and after he leaves, before and after eating and at all other occasions, the parents should remind the child to recite the dua. In this way it will become a part of their lives and the purpose of teaching these duas will be achieved, insha Allah. We make dua to Allah Ta'ala to accept this publication and make it a means of hidaayat for the ummah as well as Sadaqah-e-Jaariyah for us all. Aameen. Ta'limi Board (KwaZulu Natal)
