Pray for Syria
We know that Allah loves it when we ask of Him, and He has promised to answer us quickly when we pray for our brothers and sisters – so what are we waiting for? It’s time to raise our hands and pray for Syria! In times of calamity, we are advised to recite the following general du’as from the Qur’an:
***
حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ
Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs. (3:173)
Hasbun Allahu wa ni’mal wakeel
***
إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return. (2:156)
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’oon
***
We are also grateful to a sheikh from Ebrahim College, London for writing the following du’a for us specifically for the current Syrian crisis – read it in the last third of the night, when travelling or before breaking your fast, times when Allah is near and waiting to answer our prayers:
