Visiting Medina And How To Pray At Rawda-e-Rasool
https://youtube.com/shorts/m5OYePZdiTk?si=EoKI4AgsemXhppBR Dua is never merely the repetition of memorized words—that we read them once and that’s it, as if they were hollow phrases. Dua is the name of a state of being: when a person observes something, and his soul and inner self are stirred, then he calls upon God with words he may never even have thought of before. And believe it, such a dua is never rejected. There is no inherent power in the words themselves; the real effect lies in the state of the one who is praying. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ once heard a man making dua, and the Prophet ﷺ said, “He has called upon Allah with Ism-e-Aʿẓam (the Greatest Name of Allah), and his supplication will never be rejected.” After this, people began searching in that hadith and in the dua for specific words—asking which exact word it was. But the reality is that it was not about a particular word; rather, the man was supplicating in such a profound inner state that his words became worthy of acceptance. He had not learned those words from anyone. The Prophet ﷺ called it Ism-e-Aʿẓam, and even Ism-e-Aʿẓam emerges only after a supreme spiritual state. Dua, too, is an art. Salam
