BEAUTIFY ADORN and ENHANCE your DUA with the BEATIFUL NAMES OF ALLAH
The concept of starting your dua by calling out to Allah by His Attributes brings about an unexplainable excitement and adds an extra beat to the heart....... Such a dua is by all means more heart felt.
For example: Maintaining Tahajjud is a heart felt dua for me, so .......
"Ya Al Mujeeb
The Responder to Prayer....... Make me among the ones who seek you through
Tahajjud......May you find me bowing to You when You Al Muta'ali The Supreme One descend to the lowest Heaven in the last part
of the night"
OR
"May Allah Al Muhaiman The Guardian..... Guard protect and
preserve our family"
OR
" Ya Al Fattah The Opener..... open my heart to your words..... Allahumma
Faqaihni fiddeen O Allah grant me understanding of the Deen"
OR
"Ya Al Haqq The AbsoluteTruth make me the one who does watawasauw
bil huqq- who believes truth (haq) and recommends it to others ...Ameen"
To achieve that power in the Duas one needs to KNOW the Names of Allah and their meanings so as to use the most appropriate names for the particular dua.
It's so strange and almost shameful how I never thought of doing that before.........
More strange is the fact that I never gave that emphasis on remembering and understanding the meaning of each attribute besides memorizing the Beautiful Names of Allah.
As Arabic is such an eloquent language, the translations hardly do any justice to the Magnificent names of Allah...... Therefore I am hoping to do some comparative study of different translations and make my own chart of the most accurate and heart felt meaning Inshallah.
Better yet! Invite your family members and friends to join in this blessed endevour.
