Introduction

Al-doa (prayer) is the brain of Ibadah, and your Lord says:

{Call on me, I will answer your prayer, but those who are too arrogant to serve Me

will surely enter Hell Abased}

Wisdom of doa

Nothing could reject Qada‟ (God‟s sentence/ command) except prayer,

and no way of prolong your age/ life except righteousness

and a man is surely to be deprived of provision due to sin committed by him.

Method of doa

Hadith from Fadh-dollah ibn Ubaid (r.a.). He said:

On one occasion while the prophet SAW was sitting in the mosque, a man came in and

prayed, then he straight away proceeded with doa to Allah on finishing the prayer.

The prophet SAW reacted towards him by saying: You are rushing, oh man!

What you should have done is to take your seat, then proceed with praising Allah for what

He deserved or entitled to, follow with salutation upon me, then only invoke to Him.

Another man came in after that, he did as how the prophet has said.

The prophet SAW reacted towards him by saying: Pray! (Invoke).

Your prayer will be answered, Insya Allah.

The beginning of doa

All praises to Allah, Lord of the whole universe.

Praise that acknowledged all His favour and accepted with open-heart for the surplus.

Praise that not within our ability to assess or render, that you yourself has praised

upon you and indeed you deserve for it.

Oh Allah! Bestow upon your messenger, your apostle, Muhammad, who is also our

perfect and glorious leader the prayer (mercy) and salutation.

The same we pray for his excellent family members and righteous companions.

The end of doa

Glorious be to You Lord, Lord of Honour as how they have dignified Him or

attributed to Him

and peace be upon all the messengers.

And all praises be to Allah, The Cherisher and sustainer of the worlds.

Maha Suci Allah, yang mempunyai kemuliaan seperti yang sifatkan padaNya, dan

kesejahteraan ke atas semua rasul-rasul. Segala puji bagi Allah seru sekalian alam.

The proper time to doa 1. After Subh and Asar

2. Every Monday and Thursday; where our deeds are brought up to the heavan

before dawn.

3. Every Friday: between Asr and Maghrib, especially before Maghrib

1. Supplication before sleeping a. When retiring to his bed every night, the prophet (peace be upon him) would hold his palms

together, blow in them and recite the last three chapters of the al-Qur'ān and then wipe over

his entire body, beginning with his head and then all parts of the body. He would do this three

times. The prophet also said “when you are about to sleep, recite ayātul kursiyy till the end of

the verse, for it will remain over you as a protection from Allah and no devil will draw near to

you until morning.

b.

O Allah, I submit my soul onto you and I entrust my affair unto you, and I return my face

towards you and I totally rely on you. In hope and fear of you, verily there is neither refuge

nor safe haven from you except with you. I believe in your book (al-Qur'ān) which you have

revealed and in your prophet whom you have sent.

Ya tuhanku, sesungguhnya aku telah menyerahkan diriku kepada Engkau dan aku telah

menghadapkan wajahku kepada Engkau, dan aku telah menyerahkan segala urusanku kepada

Engkau dalam keadaan diriku yang merasakan rindu dan gerun kepadaMu, tidak ada tempat

berlindung dan tempat menyelamatkan diri daripada (kemurkaan)Mu melainkan dengan

memohon perlindungan kepadaMu jua. Ya Allah, sesungguhnya aku beriman kepada kitabmu

yang telah Engkau turunkan, dan aku percaya kepada nabiMu yang telah Engkau utuskan

2. Supplication when woke up from sleep

All praises is for Allah who restore life to us after having taken it and to Him is the resurrection.

Segala puji bagi Allah yang menghidupkan kami setelah ia mematikan kami dan kepadaNya kami

akan kembali/ dibangkitkan.

3. Supplication related to azan a. When you heard the azan your are to repeat the call as pronounced except the phrase “Hayya

„alā al-solāh” and “hayya „alā al-falāḥ ”, where both of these should be responded with “Lā

hawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh”

Apabila terdengar azan, maka hendaklah baca atau turuti membaca tiap-tiap yang dibaca

oleh muezzin, kecuali “Hayya „alā al-solāh” dan“hayya „alā al-falāḥ ”. Keduanya itu

disambut dengan membaca “Lā hawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh”.

b. After the azan is completed, recite this supplication


4

I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah alone, without partner

and that Muhammad is his servant and messenger.

I am pleased with Allah as Lord,

and Muhammad as messenger and Islam as my religion.

O Allah, owner of this perfect call and owner of this prayer to be performed,

bestow upon Muhammad al-wasīlah and al-fadīlah,

and raise him up to his deserved-praised platform (status) which You have promised him.

Verily, you never fail in Your promise.

4. Supplication on finishing the ablution

I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone without partner,

and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger.

O Allah, make me of those who always turn to You in repentance and make me of those who

always maintain cleanliness and purity.

Glory is to You, O Allah all praises be to You,

I seek Your forgiveness and turn in repentance to You.

Aku mengaku bahawa tiada Tuhan yang disembah dengan sebenarnya melainkan Allah jua, dan

aku mengaku bahawa Nabi Muhammad itu hamba Allah dan pesuruhNya. Wahai Tuhanku,

jadikanlah aku dari golongan orang yang bertaubat dan jadikanlah aku dari orang yang suci dan

bersih. Maha Suci Engkau wahai Tuhanku. Dan segala pujian adalah kepunyaanMu, aku

memohon ampun dan aku bertaubat kepada Engkau.

5. Supplication when leaving the home

In the name of Allah, I place my trust and reliance to Allah and there is no might no power except with

Allah.

O Allah, I take refuge with You lest I should stray or be led astray,

or slip or be tripped

or oppress or being oppressed

or behave foolish by or be treated foolishly.

Dengan nama Allah, aku bertawakkal kepada Allah. tidak ada daya dan kekuatan melainkan dengan

(pertolongan dan keizinan)Mu ya Allah.

Ya Allah, aku berlindung kepada Engkau daripada kesesatan atau disesatkan orang,

daripada tergelincir atau digelincirkan orang,

daripada menganiaya atau dianiayai orang,

daripada kebodohanku sendiri atau dibodohi orang.

6. Supplication after prayer

Narrated from ibn. Mas‟ud (r.a) he said: one of the supplication used to be recited by the prophet

(peace be upon him) “Oh Allah, grant us all that can help us to gain your mercy and forgiveness.

Let our well-behaved be our protector. Grant us victory by entering the paradise and save us from

the hell fire”

Ya Allah, sesungguhnya kami memohon kepada Engkau segala yang akan memungkinkan rahmat

Engkau dan segala yang akan memastikan ampunan Engkau, keselamatan dan kesejahteraan

daripada setiap dosa, kekayaan dengan segala kebaikan, mendapat kemenangan dengan masuk

syurga dan terlepas daripada siksaan api neraka.

7. Supplication before and after completing the meal (before)

Umar b. Abi Salama narrated: I was a boy under the care of Allah‟a messenger (peace be upon

him) and my hand used to go around the dishes while I was eating. So Allah‟s apostle (peace

be upon him) said to me: “O boy, mention the name of Allah and eat of the dish what is nearer

to you”

Abdullah b. Amr b. Al-Aas reported: Allah‟s Messenger (peace be upon him) used to say on

the starting to eat: “O Allah, send your blessings in what you have bestowed upon us, and

protect us from the punishment of hell-fire, in the name of Allah” (Ibnu al-Sunni, al-Adhkar, p.205)

Abdullah b. Umar b. Aas meriwayatkan: Rasulullah saw sering membaca doa ini sebelum

baginda makan: Ya Allah, anugerahkanlah rahmatMu pada apa yang telah Engkau

kurniakan kepada kami; dan lindungilah kami daripada siksaan api neraka.

(after)

Abu Umamah narrated: whenever the Prophet (peace be upon him) finished his meals, he used

to say “Praise be to Allah! Much good and blessed praise! O, our Lord! We cannot reject Your

favour, nor leave it, nor dispense it” (Sahih al-Bukhari)

Abu Umamah meriwayatkan: Setiap kali Rasulullah selesai makan dia sering berdoa:

“Segala puji bagi Allah, bagiNya segenap kebaikan dan pujian! Wahai Tuhan kami, kami

tidak mampu menolak kurniaanMu, tidak pula mampu meninggalkannya juga tidak mampu

mengecualikan diri daripadanya”

Hadith 1

On the authority of the commander of the faithful1, Abu Hafs „Umar ibn al-Khattab

2

(may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I heard the messenger of Allah (the

blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say:

((Actions are but by intention and every

man shall have but that which he intended.

Thus he whose migration3 was for Allah

and His Messenger, his migration was for

Allah and His Messenger,

and he whose migration was to achieve

some worldly benefit or to take some

woman in marriage,

his migration was for that which he

migrated.))

It was related by the two Imāms of the scholars of Hadith, Abū

„Abdullah Muhammad ibn Ismā‟il ibn Ibrāhīm ibn al-Mughīra ibn

Bardizbah al-Bukhārī and Abū ‟l-Husain Muslim ibn al-Hajjāj ibn

Muslim al-Qushairī an-Naisābūrī, in their two Sahihs, which are the

1 Title given to the caliphs

2 The second caliph in Islam

3 This is a reference to religious migration, in particular to that from Mecca to Medina

On the authority of the Mother of the Faithful5, Umm „Abdullah „Aisha

(may Allah be pleased with her), who said: The Messenger of Allah

(may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:

((He who innovates something

in this matter of ours

that is not of it

will have it rejected.))

It was related by al-Bukhari and Muslim. In one version by Muslim it

reads:

((He who does an act

which our matter is not [in agreement]

with

will have it rejected.))

Hadith 6

5 A title accorded to any of the Prophet‟s wives


10

On the authority of Abū „Abdullah an-Nu‟man, the son of Bashīr, (may

Allah be pleased with them both), who said: I heard the Messenger of

Allah (may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say:

((That which is lawful is plain, and that which is

unlawful is plain,

and between the two of them are doubtful matters

about which not many people know.

Thus he who avoids doubtful matters clears

himself in regard to his religion and his honour,

but he who falls into doubtful matters falls into

that which is unlawful,

like the shepherd who pastures around a

sanctuary, all but grazing therein.

Truly every king has a sanctuary, and truly

Allah‟s sanctuary is His prohibitions.

Truly in the body there is a morsel of flesh which,

if it be whole, all the body is whole and which,

if it be diseased, all of it is diseased.

Truly it is the heart))

It was related by al-Bukhārī and Muslim.

Hadith 10


11

On the authority of Abū Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him),

who said: The Messenger of Allah (may the blessings and peace of

Allah be upon him) said:

((Allah the Almighty is good and accepts only that

which is good. Allah has commanded the Faithful

to do that which he commanded the Messengers,

and the Almighty has said:

“O ye Messengers! Eat of the good things, and do

right.”6

And Allah the Almighty said: “O ye who believe!

Eat of the good things wherewith We have

provided you.”7

Then he mentioned [the case of] a man who,

having journeyed far, is disheveled and dusty and

who spreads out his hands to the sky [saying]:

O Lord! O Lord! –

while his food is unlawful, his drink unlawful, his

clothing unlawful, and he is nourished unlawfully,

so how can he be answered!)) It was related to Muslim.

Hadith 23 On the authority of Abū Mālik al-Hārith ibn „Āsim al-Ash‟arī (may

Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (may

the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:

((Purity is half of faith. Al-hamdu

lillāḥ [Praise be to Allah] fills the

scales,

and Subḥ āna ‟llāḥ [How far is Allah

from every imperfection] fill that

which is between heaven and earth.

Prayer is light; charity is proof;

patience is illumination;

and the al-Qur'ān is an argument for or

against you.

Everyone starts his day

and is a vendor of his soul, either

freeing it or bringing about its ruin.))
