Ten Ahadith On Supplication,Dua

Description

There are numerous Hadith relating to the excellence of Du’a.

HADITH NO. 1

Sayyidina Rasululah (Salalahu Alaihi wa Salam) states that Almighty Allah says:            

“I am as My servant thinks of Me.”[Recorded in Bukhari (Hadith 7239), Muslim, Tirmidhi, Nisa’i and Ibn Majah on the authority of Sayyidina Abu Hurayrah]

This means that as a servant imagines or has an opinion concerning Allah, the Merciful Lord accordingly reacts with him. Knowledge and Qudrat is with everything but there is a special proximity of mercy with those who make Du’a to Him. What bigger mercy can a servant ask for than being blessed with the Divine Proximity of the Sublime Lord? Thousands of acceptances and millions of desires and intentions may be sacrificed on such Divine Proximity!
