Munajat Maqbul - Accepted Whispers
Dua is a light, free-flowing prayer that can be offered anywhere, at any time, and under any circumstances. The Messenger’s supplications ﷺ were always directed to Allah ﷻ even for the most minute things. When teaching his Companions (ra) the duas, he made certain they memorized them word for word and would alert them to the importance of preserving their original wording exactly as he conveyed it to them. The most virtuous and perfect duas are indeed the words used by the Qur’an and those found in hadiths. The Messenger’s duas are another gift of mercy and compassion to us.
There are an abundance of books on duas, and every generation of scholars and righteous friends of Allah ﷻ have compiled them, but this version is prepared by Mawlana Ashraf Ali Thanawi with emphasis on the authenticity of the sources. We have also added the famous Hizb al-Bahr supplication of Shaykh Abul-Hasan ash-Shadhili and Zad as-Said (the forty formulae of prayers on the Prophet ﷺ), also compiled by Mawlana Thanawi.
It is our hope and prayer that this collection connects us directly to the Divine and that it becomes a source of nearness to Him
