Praise be to Allah , we thank Him, seek His Help and His Forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evils of ourselves and that of our bad deeds. He whom Allah guides, is truly guided, and he whom Allah leaves to stray, none can guide him. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, besides Him no other partner is and I bear witness that Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) is His Messenger.

When one is in suffering, or is befallen by catastrophe; when one is estranged and despondent and ultimately frustrated: then one unconsciously seeks the One Whose mercy is all-embracing. He is more Merciful than a mother to her child. His is the refuge we seek. It is He Who hears the weeping of the oppressed and accepts those who repent to Him. He showers His bounties and His blessings upon them.

By making du'a, success becomes a reality; wishes and aims are achieved. That is because, when the servant truly believes that Allah is the only One Who is the Most Deserving to be asked and sought, he will shun all sources of help other than Allah. He will approach the Door of his Lord, seek His protection, entreat Him for His Mercy of treasures and His generosity. This is the essence of worship and the secret of obedience. On the authority of Nu’man Ibn Bashir who said that the Prophet Muhammad said, “Du'a is worship.”
