refuge with Allah from the torment of the grave. He said: Seek refuge with Allah from turmoil, its visible and invisible<br />

(aspects). They said: We seek refuge with Allah from turmoil and its visible and invisible aspects. He said: Seek refuge with<br />

Allah from the turmoil of the Dajjal. They said: We seek refuge Allah from the turmoil of the Dajjal.<br />

Sunan of Abu-Dawood<br />

Hadith 1547 Narrated by<br />

AbulYusr<br />

The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) used to supplicate: "O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from my house falling on me, I<br />

seek refuge in Thee from falling into an abyss, I seek refuge in Thee from drowning burning and decrepitude. I seek refuge in<br />

Thee from the devil harming me at the time of my death, I seek refuge in Thee from dying in Thy path while retreating, and I<br />

seek refuge in Thee from dying of the sting of a poisonous creature."<br />

Fiqh-us-Sunnah<br />

Fiqh 1.144a<br />

Says an-Nawawi, "It is sunnah for anyone who is reciting the Qur'an, whether he is praying or not, to ask Allah for His<br />

blessings when he comes to a verse of mercy. When he comes to a verse (describing) punishment, he should seek refuge in<br />

Allah from Hellfire, punishment, evil, from what is hated, or he may say, "Allah, I ask You for well-being, etc." When he comes<br />

to a verse that glorifies or exalts Allah, he should say, "Glory be to Allah," or "Blessed be Allah, the Lord of the Worlds," and<br />

so on. Hudhaifah ibn al-Yaman is reported to have said, "I prayed with the Prophet, upon whom be peace, one night, and he<br />

started reading al-Baqarah. I said to myself, 'He will bow after one hundred verses,' but he continued. Then I said, 'He will<br />

complete it and bow,' but he moved to recite very slowly al 'Imran and then an-Nisa'. When he came to a verse glorifying<br />

Allah, he would glorify Him. If he came to a verse that mentioned a request, he would request it. If he came to something that<br />

(one should) seek refuge from, he would seek refuge." This was related by Muslim. Among the Shafiyyah, the glorifying,<br />

requesting and seeking refuge should be done during the prayer and at other times. The imam, followers and one praying by<br />

himself should all do so, for they are supplications that one should say, like 'ameen. It is preferred that when reading, "Is not<br />

Allah the most conclusive of all judges?" / at-Tin:8 / one should say, "Certainly, and I am one of the witnesses to that. When<br />

one reads, "Is not He (who does so) able to bring the dead to life? / al-Qiyamah:40 /, he should say, "Certainly, and I bear<br />

witness (to it)." When one reads, "Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High," ( al-A'la: 1 ), he should say, "Glory to my<br />

Lord, the Most High." That should be said during prayer and otherwise.<br />

Hadith 15.33<br />

Dua (Supplication)<br />

Hadith<br />

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'zZubayr al-Makki from Tawus al-Yamani from Abdullah ibn Abbas that the<br />

Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to teach this dua in the same way that he would teach<br />

them a sura of the Qur'an, "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the torment of Jahannam, and I seek refuge in You from the<br />

trial of the Dajjal, and I seek refuge in You from the trial of life and death."<br />

Allahumma inniy audhu bika min adhabi jahannama, wa audhu bika min adhabi'l-qabri, wa audhu bika min fitnati'l-mahya wa<br />

mamati.<br />

REHEARSE:<br />

3:58 - "This is what We rehearse unto thee of the Signs and the Message of Wisdom."<br />

3:113 - Not all of them are alike: of the People of the book are a portion that stand (for the right);<br />

they rehearse the signs of Allah all night long and then prostrate themselves in adoration. 437<br />

437 In Islam we respect sincere faith and true righteousness in accordance with the Qur-An and Sunnah. This verse,<br />

according to Commentators, refers to those People of the Book who eventually embraced Islam. (3.113)<br />

6:151 - Say: "Come I will rehearse what Allah hath (really) prohibited you from": join not anything as<br />

equal with Him; be good to your parents: kill not your children on a plea of want; We provide<br />

sustenance for you and for them; come not nigh to shameful deeds whether open or secret;<br />

take not life which Allah hath made sacred except by way of justice and law: thus doth He<br />

command you that ye may learn wisdom. 976977<br />

976 Instead of following Pagan superstitions, and being in constant terror of imaginary taboos and prohibitions, we should<br />

study the true moral law, whose sanction is God's Law. The first step is that we should recognise that He is the One<br />

and Only Lord and Cherisher. The mention of goodness to parents immediately afterwards suggests: (1) that God's<br />

love of us and care for us may -on an infinitely higher plane- be understood by our ideal of parental love, which is<br />

purely unselfish; (2) that our first duty among our fellow creatures is to our father and mother, whose love leads us to<br />

the conception of divine love. Arising from that is the conception of our converse duties to our children. God provides<br />

sustenance (material and spiritual) not only for us, but for them; hence any custom like the Pagan custom of<br />

sacrificing children of Moloch stands condemned. Then come the moral prohibitions against lewdness and all<br />
