Dua for Strengthening Memory
Dua for Strengthening Memory:
Glorified are You. We do not know except what you have taught us. Surely you are all-knowing, all-wise. My Lord, expand for me my Bosom and ease for me my task and remove the knot from my tongue (speech) so that they may understand my speech. My Lord increase me in knowledge.
O Allah, fill my heart with light and increase the strength of my hearing, my sight and my memory.

Dua for Suhur
When beginning the fast – Suhur (sehri)
بِصَوْمِ غَدٍ نَوَيْتُ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ
I intend to keep the fast for tomorrow in the month of Ramadan.
Transliteration:
Bi-sawmi ghadin nawaytu min shahri ramadan
There is no special Du’aa to begin the fast. You can make the Niyyat in your own language e.g. O Allah I am fasting tomorrow for you. So make it easy for me and accept it from me. The du’aa provided here is an example.
Niyyat means the intention of heart and one eats sehri with the intention of fasting. Then eating sehri is tantamount to intention. There is no need of intention in words separately but if one reads the said du’aa in sehri then it is lawful and better. [Darul Ifta, Darul Uloom Deoband, India]
Dua for Driving in slippery conditions
Du’a for driving in slippery conditions:
‘Allamah Sakhawi (rahimahullah) has quoted a Scholar from the past to have suggested the following du’a for protection against ones conveyance skidding/slipping:
إنَّ اللهَ يُمْسِكُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرْضَ أَنْ تَزُولا
“InnAllaha yumsikus samawati wal arda an tazoola”
Translation: “Indeed Allah Ta’ala is the One who keeps the heavens and the earth from moving/shaking.”
The full incident:
Muhadith Ibrahim ibn Isma’il (rahimahullah) narrates that his father mentioned:
I was on a journey from Harran to Al-Musil during the season of winter, mud and rainfall. Many people’s camels were falling, and people were facing severe harsh conditions. I feared for myself, knowing well my feeble state. I went to sleep for a bit and I heard someone saying ‘Should I not teach you something if you read it your camel will not fall and you will be safe?’ I said ‘Of course and may you be rewarded.’ So he said to me, say:
إنَّ اللهَ يُمْسِكُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرْضَ أَنْ تَزُولا
I recited it and my camel never faltered or fell until we reached Al-Musil. Other people incurred a lot of damage due to their camels falling whilst what I had was saved.
(Al-Ibtihaj, bi adhkaril musafiri wal haaj)
This du’a is quite apt and is derived from Ayah: 41 in Surah: 35
Recite frequently when driving in bad weather.
Note: I read the above dua yesterday when returning from Darul Uloom.
Others were slipping on the hills but Alhmadulillah I managed to get home without any problems.
I also read
اللهمً اني اعوذ بك من ان أضِلّ أو اُضَلّ او ازل او ازل او اظلم او اظلم او اجهل او يجهل علي
Allahumma Inni aoozu bika Min an adhilla aw udhalla, aw azilla aw uzalla, aw adhlima aw udhlama, aw aj’hala aw ujhala alayya’
Trans: “Ya Allah! I seek Your protection from slipping or being made to slip by someone , from going astray or being led astray by someone, from being unjust or being dealt with unjustly, from being ignorant or ignorance being shown to me”
My Hazrat, mawlana Yusuf Motala Saheb said “The word slipping includes both; metaphorical meaning as well as the literal one”
May Allah protect us from all slipping in icy conditions and slipping in deen.
Imam Abu Hanifa Rahmatullahi alayhi said to a young boy: “Be careful! Don’t slip” He replied: “You should be more careful imam saheb! If I slip it will only be me. But if you slip then the whole world will slip.” May Allah elevate imam Saheb’s ranks in Jannah. Ameen.

Dua After Iftar
ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَ ابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ، وَ ثَبَتَ الأجْرُ إنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ
Transliteration:

Dua in Anticipation of Ramadan
On the authority of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), used to say the following when the month of Rajab began.
اَللّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِى رَجَبَ وَ شَعْبَانَ وَ بَلِّغْنَا رَمَضَان
“Oh Allah! Bless us in Rajab and Sha`ban, and bring us, oh Allah, to Ramadan.”
[Narrated by Tabarani and Ahmad]
Forgive Me and My Parents
رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الْحِسَابُ
Our Lord, Forgive me and my parents and the believers, the Day the account is established. (surah Ibraheem, 41)
Dua for the Intending Haji
