Moć i
snaga dove
3 ramazanska poruka
Jednom je poslanik a,s,
prolazio pored skupine ljudi koji su patili od neke nevolje pa je rekao. Zašto ne dove Allahu dž,š, za zaštitu?
Uz sve patnje i katastrofe s kojima se muslimani suočavaju danas u raznim
dijelovima svijeta, pitanje se može danas usmjeriti na sve nas.!
To ne znači da smo
potpuno zaboravili dovu; učimo mi dove redovno, ali naše ideje i djela u vezi
dove su postale iskrivljene. Često se svodi na nivo rituala. Uglavnom se dove
upućuju onda kada svi naši ljudski napori padnu u vodu. Dova se često omaložava
djelima pa čak i riječima.
Kakva tragedija, za dovu
koja je najmoćnije oružje vjernika, dova može promijeniti sudbinu. To je
suština Ibadeta ili obožavanja. Sa njom (dovom)
nikada ne možemo propasti; bez nje ne možemo uspjeti. U pravilnom
poretku stvari, dova treba da bude prva i poslednja vjernikova stavr, sa svim
svojim planovima i djelima ona dolazi između.
Najmoćniji razgovor: Dova je razgovor sa Allahom
dž,š, našim Stvoriteljem, našim Gospodarom, Svemogućim Allahom. Ovaj čin je
samo po sebi od izuzetnog značaja. To je najviše uzdizanje, oslobađanje,
osnaživanje, i transformacija razgovora koji osoba može ikada imati. Mi smo
okrenuti Njemu, jer znamo da samo On može podići naše patnje i riješiti naše
probleme. Osjećamo olakšanje nakon što komuniciramo sa Gospodarom svjetova.
Osećamo Njegovu milost svuda oko nas, nakon razgovora sa Milostivim.
Naš prvo i posljednje djelo: U svakoj poteškoći naše prvo i
posljednje djelo je dova. Molimo Allaha da nam pokaže put da izdeveramo taj
problem; tražimo njegovu pomoć u uputi koju nam je podario.
Suština obožavanja: Dova je suština Ibadeta. Osoba
koja je povezana dovljenjem potvrđuje svoje uvjerenje u Tevhid (monoteizma i
jednoće Allaha dž,š) i izbjegava vjerovanje u sve lažne bogove. Sa svakom
upućenom dovom, uvjerenje u Allaha dž,š, se povećava i raste. Traženje od Alaha
dž,š, je ustavi i priznavanje svoje nemoći, te veza između roba i Rabba, a to
je ujedno i suština poslušnosti i odanosti samo Njemu uzvišenom. Čovjek Moli
Allaha, potvrđujući svoju nemoć. Ona osoba koja ozbiljno i iskreno čini dova
razumije pravi odnos između sebe i Stvoritelja te potvrđuje kroz svoje
postupke. To je suština obožavanja!
Naše najmoćnije oružje: Dova je naše najmoćnije oružje
u svim borbama života. Tokom bitke na Bedru, poslanik Muhamed a,s, proveo je
cijelu noć u molitvi i traženju Allahove pomoći u borbi između nejednakih
vojski koje će sresti sutradan. U odlučujućim bitakama protiv krstaša, Sultan
Salahuddin Ejubi je imao naporan dan i noć. Njegov noći su provođene čineći
dove, plač, i traženje Allahove pomoći a dan mu je bila borba.
Veliko i malo: Trebalo bi da činimo dovu i za velike kao i za
male strvai, jer se namam čine male i nevažne, ali ipak i njima bi trebali
upućivati dove. Ništa nije preveliko za onoga od koga mi tražimo; ništa nije premalo
za onoga za kojeg se moli. Treba imati na umu Hadis poslanika a,s: "Ne postoji ništa draže Allahu kao što je da
Njegov rob čini dovu Njemu."
U svim vremenima i svim potrebama: Trebalo bi da činimo
dovu u svakom trenutku, ne samo u vrijeme nevolje. Poslanik a,s je rekao:
"Ko god želi da mu Allah usliša
njegovim dovama u nepovoljnim i teškim uvjetima, neka čini dovu u izobilju u
danima lakoće i udobnosti." Također je rekao: "Osoba koja ne traži od Allaha, Allah
postaje ljuti na njega."
Trebali bismo činiti dove za sve naše potrebe: One koje se odnose na
ovaj svijet, kao i one koje se odnose na Ahiret. Allahume rabena atina....
Svi ljudi: Mi treba da upućujemo dove ne samo za sebe nego i
za naše roditelje, braću i sestre, supružnike i djecu, rodbinu i prijatelje,
nastavnike itd, Trebalo bi da se molimo za njih za dobro na ovom svijetu, kao i
na onom svijetu. Poslanik je rekao: "Dova
muslimana za svog brata (u islamu) u
njegovom odsustvu je kabul. Melek je zadužen pored onoga koji čini dovu za svog
brata muslimana i kaže; Amin i tebi isto. [Sahih Musliman]
U mračnom dobu u kojem
živimo danas, svakodnevnim vjestima koje donose svježe vijesti o zločinima
počinjenim nad našom braćom u Palestini, Kašmiru, Indiji, Afganistanu, i lista
ide dalje. I šta da radimo? Možemo da budemo frustrirani i depresivani. Dova
može promijeniti naš život, našu prognozu, i naša sudbina. To je najmoćniji
oružje. Ali to radi samo kod onih koji pokušavaju iskreno i ozbiljno da ga
koriste.
Nalazimo se u posljednji
deset dana ramazana kad je dova glavna uloga, to su najbolje noći za činjenje
dove, u tim noćima ima i lejletul kadr koja ima velike vrijednosti, zašto nam
je poslanik a,s, savjetovao i preporučio a činimo dovu više i intezivnije a
zadnjim danima i noćima ramazana, zato jer dova ima svoju važnos, ima svoju
snagu, ima svoju moć!
A na nama je da to
iskoristimo onako kako treba i na pravi način, zato ne zaboravite da
iskoristite vrijemme činjenjem dova jer je to ujedno i ibadet i moć i snaga.
Molim Allaha dž,š, da
nam ukabuli naše dove, Amin ja Rabbel Alemin.

The power of dua
3rd Ramadan message
Once Prophet Muhammad
passed by a people who were suffering from some affliction and he said. Why don't they make dua (prayer) to Allah for protection?
With all the suffering and disasters Muslims are facing in various parts of the
world, the question can be directed to all of us today.
It is not that we
have forgotten dua completely; we refer to it regularly. But our ideas and
practice regarding dua have become distorted. Often it is reduced to the level
of a ritual. Generally it is considered when all our efforts have failed. It is
belittled through actions and sometimes even with words.
What a tragedy, for
dua is the most potent weapon of a believer, it can change fate, while no
action of ours ever can. It is the
essence of ibadah or worship. With it we can never fail; without it we can
never succeed. In the proper scheme of things, dua should be the first and the
last resort of the believer, with all his plans and actions coming in between.
The most empowering conversation: Dua is conversation
with Allah, our Creator, our Lord and Master, the All Knowing, the All
Powerful. This act in itself is of extraordinary significance. It is the most
uplifting, liberating, empowering, and transforming conversation a person can
ever have. We turn to Him because we know that He alone can lift our sufferings
and solve our problems. We feel relieved after describing our difficulties to
our Creator. We feel empowered after having communicated with the Almighty. We
sense His mercy all around us after talking to the Most Merciful. We get a new
commitment to follow His path for that is the only path for success. We feel
blessed with each such commitment.
Our first and last action: In every difficulty
our first action is dua, as is our last. We ask Allah to show us the way to
handle that difficulty; we seek His help in following the path He shows to us;
we seek His aid in making our efforts successful.
The essence of worship: Dua is the essence
of ibadah. A person engaged in dua affirms his belief in Tawheed (monotheism)
and shuns belief in all false gods. With each dua his belief in Allah grows. He
beseeches Him, affirming his own powerlessness. A person seriously and
sincerely engaged in dua understands exactly the relationship between himself
and the Creator and affirms it through his actions. That is the essence of
worship!
Our most potent weapon: Dua is our most
potent weapon in all struggles of life. During the battle of Badr, the Prophet
Muhammad stood up all night in prayer seeking Allah's help in the battle
between unequal armies that would follow the next day. In the decisive battles
against the crusaders, Sultan Salatuddin Ayyubi was busy day and night. His
nights were spent making dua, crying, and seeking Allah's help.
Big and small: We should make it a
point to make dua for all things big and small. It is the beginning of wisdom
to realize that big and small are arbitrary labels that are totally irrelevant
in this context. Nothing is too big for whom we are asking from; nothing is too
small for the one who is asking. That is why we have been taught to ask Allah
when we need something as small as shoelaces. At the same time we should ask
with great hope and conviction that we shall be granted our prayers. We should
remember the Hadith: "There
is nothing more dear to Allah than a servant making dua to Him."
All times and all needs: We should make dua
at all times, not only during times of distress. The Prophet Muhammad said: "Whosoever
desires that Allah answers his duas in unfavorable and difficult conditions, he
should make plentiful dua in days of ease and comfort." Also he said: "The person who does not ask
from Allah, Allah becomes angry with him." Imam Ahmad, Ibn Hibban, Tirmitdi, Ibn Majah, and
Bukhari in adab mufrad.
We should ask for all of our needs: those related to
this world as well as those related to the Hereafter.
All people: We should make dua not only for
ourselves but also for our parents, brothers and sisters, spouses and children,
relatives and friends, teachers and other benefactors, and destitute and
struggling Muslims everywhere. We should pray for them for the good in this world
as well as in the Hereafter. The Prophet said: "The
dua of a Muslim for his brother (in Islam) in his absence is readily accepted. An angel is
appointed to his side. Whenever he makes a beneficial dua for his brother the
appointed angel says, Amen.
And may you also be blessed with the same. [Sahih Muslim]
In the dark ages that
we are living in today, everyday brings fresh news about atrocities committed
against our brothers in Palestine, Kashmir, India, Afghanistan, Iraq, Chechnya,
and the list goes on. And what do we do? We can continue to just feel
frustrated and depressed. The dua can change our life, our outlook, and our
fate. It is the most potent weapon. But it works only for those who try
sincerely and seriously to use it.
