Kitap Hakkında

Supplication (du‘a) is a spiritual tie between the servant and Allah the Almighty. It is the cure for the troubles and the nourishment of hearts. It is the manifestation of servanthood and the “essence of worship” in the words of the Prophet (saw*). (Tirmidhi, Da‘awat,1) The servant expresses his wishes and needs to Allah the Almighty through supplication. Humans need supplication. Even the strongest and wealthiest people who obtain everything they want are not exempt from supplication. Wealthy people may experience depression or unimaginable troubles and calamities. In such cases, neither wealth nor other possibilities will be the solution to problems. Some try to get rid of their problems with alcohol and drugs, but they end up getting into even more trouble. Some visit tombs, psychics, or mediums and seek help from them without realizing that they seek refuge with weak beings just like themselves, none of whom can give a solution to their problems. Some others turn to Allah, Who is Omnipotent and the Most Merciful, Who knows their needs and wishes best. These types of people are those who practice in the most appropriate way, fitting their nature and the revelation. It should be noted that the only solution is to turn to Allah, seek refuge in His protection, and ask for help and salvation from Him only. The Holy Qur’an, the last sacred book of Allah the Almighty, guides us in supplication, like in all matters; it informs us of how and when to supplicate by presenting supplication examples of prophets and righteous people. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw) also sets an example for us in this matter as the inviter to the truth and explainer of the Holy Qur’an with his words and behaviors. The Prophet (saw) and his distinguished Companions who were trained by him, included supplication in every field of their lives. The hadith corpus is full of concise supplications made by the Prophet (saw) under the title “Du‘a”. The Messenger of Allah (saw) would supplicate at every moment of his life, from getting up in the morning to going to bed at night, from leaving the house to arriving at the house. He did not only seek refuge in Allah in troubled times, but he also kept his connection with Allah alive at times of joy and happiness. Supplication should be an indispensable part of daily life for us, Muslims, who follow the blessed path of the Messenger of Allah (saw). On this occasion, we hope that the book in your hands, which includes supplications to make in daily life, will be useful for the readers. Presidency of Religious Affairs of Türkiye
