May Allah (glorified and exalted is He) grant us the best of this life and the best of the Hereafter and protect us from the punishment of Hell. May He grant us the highest station of seekers, and the highest station of the patient, and the highest station of the grateful without putting us through trials that could potentially compromise that patience and allow us to lose out on that reward. Āmīn.”

Aconstantly recurring theme is that the pious predecessors, the Salaf, deliver the most righteous and most beautiful prayers towards the end of their lives. Abū Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was a man that would give his life for the Prophet (peace be upon him) , and he accompanied him in life and in death. He is buried right next to the Prophet (peace be upon him) , who mentioned that Abū Bakr would enter into Jannah beside him. You can imagine how much Abū Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) desired to be with the Prophet (peace be upon him) after he passed away; how much he looked to the signs of approval and the signs of continuity of what the Prophet (peace be upon him) impressed upon him after he departed from this world. it was the same day and he was the same age and he dressed himself in the same way that the Prophet Let me die a Muslim and be accompanied by the righteous. (Yusuf 12:101) This is an admirable way for all of us to call upon Allah (glorified and exalted is He) because it encompasses the last of our days in terms of time, the last of our deeds to the very specificity of that last deed, and the last of our days, the Day that we meet with Allah (glorified and exalted is He) , being the best Day of our life. O Allah, I was sincere to Your creation in public but cheated myself in private. Please excuse my disgrace because of my sincerity to Your creation.This document was uploaded by our user.

Prayers of the Pious Quotes by Omar Suleiman - Goodreads Prayers of the Pious Quotes by Omar Suleiman - Goodreads

This du ʿ ā’ is about the covenant that we make with Allah (glorified and exalted is He) . Few of the supplications are covenants that you actually make with Allah, and obviously when you make a covenant with Allah—when you take an oath upon Allah—it increases the severity and sometimes the sincerity of that supplication. It is narrated by Aswad ibn Yazid that ʿAbdullah ibn Masʿūd (may Allah be pleased with him) recited the verse and when he said that, ʿAbdullah ibn Masʿūd said that on the Day of Judgement Allah will say: ‘Whoever has a covenant with Me, then let him stand.’ The students of ʿAbdullah ibn Masʿūd (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him to teach them what to do with that, what to say about that. This is a situation where you actually have a Sahabi (a Companion) like Ibn Masʿūd teaching his students what to say. So this particular du ʿ ā’ has many blessings in that sense. Uways al-Qarni (may Allah be pleased with him) was a man that the Prophet (peace be upon him) spoke about but never met. He told his Companions that if they ever met this man, because of his closeness to Allah (glorified and exalted is He) they should ask him to ask Allah to seek forgiveness for them, and he gave a description of Uways. The Prophet (peace be upon him) described his deeds in two ways: He said that Uways had leprosy and he asked Allah (glorified and exalted is He) to cure him from the leprosy except for a piece the size of a coin, a dirham. Uways was also a man who was very generous or would show extreme obedience to his mother, and because of the obedience to his mother, Allah (glorified and exalted is He) honoured him. Every year that people came for Hajj, ʿUmar ibn Khat.t.āb (may Allah be pleased with him) would ask caravans, particularly from Yemen, if Uways was among them. Eventually ʿUmar found him, and he started to question Uways about his description, where he was from, his tribe, and if he was the man that the Prophet (peace be upon him) spoke about. After establishing and understanding who this man was, and that he was indeed the Uways the Prophet referred to, ʿUmar requested him to seek forgiveness from Allah (glorified and exalted is He) for him. Usually in this narration, we focus on the part of the mother, from the fact that the greatest way to come closer to Allah is to honour your parents. Indeed, Ibn ʿAbbās (may Allah be pleased with him) says he knew of no other action that brings one closer to Allah than the honouring of one’s mother. However, in this instance we will focus on the prior sentence, which isn’t usually discussed in any explanation of the hadith and in the context of du ʿ ā’ . Uways (may Allah be pleased with him) suffered from leprosy and he asked Allah to cure him from his leprosy but to leave a dirham-size piece of leprosy on him. Why do you think he would do that? He did that because it was a reminder of the pain that he had suffered and the need to always be grateful to Allah (glorified and exalted is He) to have cured him. That’s a very powerful example of character. Many times we call upon Allah (glorified and exalted is He) in our desperation and ask Him to remove a hardship from us. We make promises to Allah (glorified and exalted is He) if He removes the hardship, but as soon as He does so we become heedless once again and we forget not only the blessings of the removal of the hardship but also the promises that we made. Hence this is an extraordinary lesson; when you are calling upon Allah (glorified and exalted is He) , asking for Him to relieve you of a hardship, ask also for a reminder of the lesson of that hardship, because the closest you are to Allah is often at your deepest moments of vulnerability and hardship, and you don’t want that to leave you. Often, when Allah (glorified and exalted is He) takes something away from you, He gives you something better, and the greatest thing that Allah can give you in exchange for something you lose in this world is Himself. That’s what Uways al-Qarni gained from his hardship, that deep relationship with Allah which he never wanted to forget, even as he wanted to be cured from his leprosy. May Allah (glorified and exalted is He) grant us humility and relieve us of our hardships, but do not allow us to forget the lessons that we learned from them, and may He grant us the best of this world and the Hereafter.

In 2016 he was present at the shooting of police officers in Dallas and in the aftermath appealed for calm, togetherness and a different path for America - one of unity and peace. This is an admirable way for all of us to call upon Allah (glorified and exalted is He) because it encompasses the last of our days in terms of time, the last of our deeds to the very specificity of that last deed, and the last of our days, the Day that we meet with Allah (glorified and exalted is He), being the best Day of our life.
