Du'd: supplication, invocation, it is an action <strong>of</strong> worship that<br />

may only be directed to <strong>Al</strong>lah. It is <strong>of</strong> two types, supplication<br />

through worship (du'd 'ibddah) and supplication <strong>of</strong> request<br />

(du'd mas'a/ah). <strong>The</strong> first type <strong>of</strong> du'd can be understood<br />

when one understands that every act <strong>of</strong> worship is done with<br />

the unstated plea that <strong>Al</strong>lah accept that action <strong>of</strong> worship<br />

and the desire to draw closer to him; and hence attain His<br />

pleasure. Hence every action <strong>of</strong> worship is a type <strong>of</strong> request<br />

to <strong>Al</strong>lah. <strong>The</strong> second type <strong>of</strong> du'd is whereby one explicitly<br />

asks his Lord <strong>of</strong> something such as 'O <strong>Al</strong>lah! Grant me good<br />

in this world and the Hereafter.' <strong>The</strong> second type includes<br />

the first type and the first type necessitates the second type.<br />

Hadith: A text attributed to the Prophet (:i) describing his actions,<br />

words, descriptions and tacit approvals. It consists <strong>of</strong><br />

two portions, the body <strong>of</strong> the text (matn) and the isndd. Rarely<br />

the term is also used to refer to a text attributed to a Companion<br />

or a Tabi'i.<br />

f:liifiz· pl. f;ujfdz. f:Iadith Master, commonly referred to one who<br />

has memorised at least 100,000 }::iadiths.<br />

f:lasan: good, fair. A l:iadith whose isndd is continuously linked <strong>of</strong><br />

just, morally upright narrators but whose precision (cfab!) falls<br />

short <strong>of</strong> the requirements <strong>of</strong> the ~a}::iil:i l:iadith; containing no<br />

irregularity (shddh) and no hidden defect ('ii/ah). A l:iadith can<br />

be l:iasan in and <strong>of</strong> itself, or contain a defect but still be ruled<br />

to be so due to supporting evidences.<br />

lf;sdn: beneficence, excellence. To worship <strong>Al</strong>lah as if one is seeing<br />

Him, and knowing that even though one sees Him not,<br />

He sees the servant.<br />
