[Part 1] The Importance and Merits of Dua - Habib Mukhtarali [URDU]

Part 1 - The Importance and Merits of Dua - Habib Mukhtarali with Urdu commentary

In order for man to come close to Allah SWT, to gain spiritual peace of mind, to attain ethical values, to stay away from sins, to cleanse mental disturbances, to avoid Satan’s temptations, to strengthen his intelligence and cognitive powers, and to satisfy his physical and mental needs, he needs to worship God. For this very reason, the major part of the Prophet’s educational programs in general and the Prophet of Islam’s program in particular consists of teaching people to carry out prayers and supplication.

Our Holy Prophet (SAW) and our Imams (AS) have described supplication as the believer’s weapon, the pillar of the religion, the light of the skies and the earth and most importantly, it is the most beloved deed towards Allah SWT.

ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): أحَبُّ الأعمالِ إلى اللّه‏ِ عزّوجلّ فِي الأرضِ الدُّعاءُ.

Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘The most beloved action on this earth with Allah - Mighty and Exalted - is supplication.’ [al-Kafi, v. 2, p. 467, no. 8]

Hence our Imams have established various supplications that are found in Sahifa Alawiya (from Imam Ali A.S), Sahifa Sajjadiyya (of Imam Zainul Abideen A.S) and Sahifa Mahdawiyah (of Imam Mahdi A.S). Our Imams (A.S) have taught us the fundamental steps and words on how to supplicate and beseech to Allah SWT.
