The objective of this concise pamphlet is to explain how prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessingsof Allah be upon him) used to perfonnperform his prayers. I would like to present this explanation to every male and female muslim so that they may strive to take up the Prophet's manner in performing their prayers as a model for them. It was narrated by Al Bukhari that Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings of Allah be on him) had said: *+-ir. r. «~\J~L>\2~».. gr*-,-1,.. 15!/-u "Perlonn"Perform your prayers inin the samemanner'manner you had seenseenme doing."doing."

  • Exploring Duas of the Prophets and Believers from the Qur'an
    Exploring Duas of the Prophets and Believers from the Qur’an Course Overview The impulse to pray is among the most universal and innate of human behaviours – asking God to relieve, pardon, give, soothe, protect, guide, forgive, support, save and bless. Whether said in silence or uttered aloud, with others or alone, prayer has always been at the core of spiritual wellness-the lasting answer to an uncompromising condition of life. This Course entitled Quranic Dua (29th-30th August 2009) presents a lucid, bold and moving account of the Qur’an’s “heroes of prayer” especially the prophets (including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad may Allah bless them and grant them peace), as well as believing men and women, and angels. These duas and adhkar are presented in the context of their missions and circumstances and bear extraordinary relevance to our world and lives today. The following Quranic Dua Notes have been prepared by Dr Riza Mohammed for the Quranic Dua Course organised by the British Academy of Qur’anic Studies (BAQS) in Manchester, United Kingdom. Introducing Dua Dua, supplicating to Allah, is `the spirit of ibadah.' (Tirmidhi.) Indeed, it is a demand of Islam. The Prophet has exhorted us: `Allah is angry with him who does not ask [anything] from Him.' (Tirmidhi) Each of your duas must capture the spirit of your goals and ambitions. You must offer them with humility and sincerity. The Prophet Muhammad has taught us some of the most beautiful supplications - said in beautiful words, encapsulating beautiful ideas, through beautiful ways of asking.
