The Art of Asking for High Matters

The Art of Asking for High Matters – Adab of Du’a 06 – Shaykh Faraz Rabbani


Allah Most High says, “I am near – I answer the call of the one who calls upon Me (2:186).”

In this video, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani explains some of the things that one should and should make du’a for. Amongst the things he says to avoid are having ill intentions when asking, and having a low opinion of what Allah can give one.

It is from a series of short talks in which Shaykh Faraz Rabbani explains the reality of du’a (supplication) and how to turn to Allah. The series is based on a classical text on the same subject by Shaykh al Islam Zakariyya al Ansari.

The text is divided into the 11 concise, apt sections described below.

1. The reality of du’a
2. Our being called on to make du’a
3. The great virtue of du’a
4. The integrals of supplication, its wings, and its means
5. The conditions of supplication
6. Its proper manners
7. The times of du’a and the state in which it should be made
8. Signs of acceptance of du’a
9. Explaining the religious ruling of du’a
10. Some encompassing supplications
11. Explaining what the greatest Divine Name is
