Suba O Sham Ki Duaen Free Download Pdf Book
In the terminology of Islam, duʿāʾ (Arabic: دُعَاء, plural: ʾadiyah أدْعِيَة; also transliterated Doowa literally meaning invocation, is an act of supplication. The term is derived from an Arabic word meaning to 'call out' or to 'summon', and Muslims regard this as a profound act of worship. The Islamic prophet Muhammad is reported to have said "Dua is the very essence of worship," while one of God's commands expressed through the Quran is for them to call out to Him .
There is a special emphasis on du'a in Muslim spirituality and early
Muslims took great care to record the supplications of Muhammad and
transmit them to subsequent generations.
These traditions precipitated new genres of literature in which
prophetic supplications were gathered together in single volumes that
were memorized and taught. Collections such as Al-Nawawi's Kitab al-adhkar and Shams al-Din al-Jazari's al-Hisn al-Hasin
exemplify this literary trend and gained significant currency among
Muslim devotees keen to learn how Muhammad supplicated to God.
However, Du'a literature is not restricted to prophetic supplications;
many later Muslim scholars and sages composed their own supplications,
often in elaborate rhyming prose that would be recited by their disciples. Popular du'as would include Muhammad al-Jazuli's Dala'il al-Khayrat, which at its peak spread throughout the Muslim world, and Abul Hasan ash-Shadhili's Hizb al-Bahr which also had widespread appeal.
