Introduction

If any of the Qur’anic verses written in this book is not recited as qunoot in any salat, but prayed as a du-a’a recite:

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Bismillahir Rah’maanir Raheem

In the beginning and then

اَللّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ الِ مُحَمَّدٍ

Allahumma Salli A’laa Muhammadin wa Aali Muhammad

Before you say the text of the verse (dua’a) and in the end again say

اَللّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ الِ مُحَمَّدٍ

Allahumma Salli A’laa Muhammadin wa Aali Muhammad

Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib says:

Put faith in Allah. Seek His protection. Direct your prayers, requests, solicitations and supplications to Him and Him alone. To give as well as to withhold lies in His power.

Ask as much of his favours as you can.

*****

Know that Allah owns the treasures of the heavens and the earth. Not only He has given permission to ask for his mercy and favours, but also has promised to listen to your prayers. He has not appointed guards to prevent your reaching Him. Invoke His help in difficulties and distress. Implore him to grant you long life and sound health. Pray to him for prosperity.

Think over it that by simply granting you the privilege of praying for His favours and mercy, He has handed over the keys of His treasures to you. Whenever you are in need, pray, and He gives his favours and blessings.

Sometimes you find request are not immediately granted. Do not be disappointed. Fulfillment of desires rests with the true purpose or intention of the prayer. More often fulfillment is delayed because the merciful Lord wants to bestow upon you suitable rewards. In the meantime bear patiently hardships, believing sincerely in His help. You will get better favours, because, unknowingly, you may ask for things that are really harmful to you. Many of your requests, if granted, may bring eternal damnation. So, at times, withholding fulfillment is a blessing in disguise.
