This, is a clip of Syeikh Nai’m Al-‘Arqasusi’s dars (lesson) which is held every Sunday night at jami’ Iman, Damascus. He’s one of my favourite masyaikh, hafizahullah.
This weekly dars is based on the syarh (explanation) of the hadiths in Sahih Al-Bukhari. In this particular dars, Syeikh is sharing about a special time on every Friday, during which Allah will answer the du’a of those who asks Him.
There are around 59 opinions of the ‘ulama’ (scholars) no this issue. But the 2 most sahih times are:
1. between the time the imam stands at the mimbar until the time he performs the solah.
2. between after ‘asar till sunset. This second opinion is the one that most fuqaha’ (Fiqh specialists) agreed upon, after comparing and studying various hadiths of the Prophet ‘alaihis solaatu wassalam.
My point is, let’s grab this opportunity and optimise these blessed moments by making supplications and repentance to HIM. And let’s not stop here. Hopefully, we’ll then be accustomed to trying to be close to HIM not only during the abovementioned time, but in each and every moment of our (short) life :)
Back in Syria, particularly during Syeikh Na’im’s dars, he –hafizahullah- will always make a point to stop or pause the dars few minutes before the call for Maghrib, to let all of us make as many du’a as possible. Terasa ketenangannya… ~
Allah answers our du’a through:
-granting exactly what we asks HIM
-protecting us from evils and dangers from whatever it is that we’re asking him (sometimes, we thought what we asks Him is the best for us, padahal tak)
-saving it and only granting it to us in the hereafter, in the form of something that’s much greater than what we asked HIM.
However, there are a few things we need to keep in mind while making our du’a:
- be sincere
- humble
- ensure that our clothing and food are all from source that are halal
- khusyu’ (focusssSS!)
Never:
- Aks for something bad to befall on others
- Asks for the destroy of silaturrahim
- Insists that Allah answers our du’a a.s.a.p (ni kes org tak sabar -_-“)

“And when harm touches man, he invokes Us,
lying on his side, or sitting, or standing (i.e. at all times).
But when We have removed his harm from him,
he passes on as if he had never invoked Us for a harm that touched him!”

Tak nak jadi macam gini kan?? >_<
Make du’a at times of ease…
When we’re still healthy..
When we’re rich…
And still strong…
Barulah namanya Cinta Hakiki pada Ilahi :)
