And I think what you need to know here is that the recommended times of dua or recommended things that can cause your dua to be accepted, can be divided into two sort of large groups: Am I Good Enough to Make Dua for Myself? Situations where your dua is accepted. Times where your dua is accepted So I’m going to very briefly mention them one after the other as much as possible.

(Sahih Muslim 145) This famous nasheed has many versions; this one is from Muhammad al-Salman and has the subtitles in English embedded.

It might even be a metaphor for random, as in you have been randomly selected. […] many converts to Islam will tell you about feeling as if they were strangers, before finding Islam. They will speak of feeling that they belonged somewhere else that their lives were just slightly off center. They often speak about a vague sense of knowing they were not like everyone else...

عبد الرحمن طنطاوي · سورة إبراهيم للشيخ خالد الجليل -تلاوة تهز القلوب- في مسجد الملك خالد بأم الحمام بالرياض سورة إبراهيم سورة مكية ماعدا الآيتان 28، 29 فمدنيتان، وهي من المئين وقيل من مثاني، آياتها 52، وترتيبها في المصحف 14، في الجزء الثالث عشر، نزلت بعد سورة نوح، ذُكر فيها قصة النبي إبراهيم، والتفرقة بين الظلمات والنور. موضوع السورة الأساسي كما في مواضيع السور المكية في الغالب يتناول: العقيدة في أصولها الكبيرة، الوحي والرسالة والتوحيد والبعث والحساب والجزاء. تضمنت السورة عدة حقائق رئيسية في العقيدة. ولكن حقيقتين كبيرتين تظللان جوهر السورة كلها وهما الحقيقتان المتناسقتان مع ظل إبراهيم في جوهر السورة: حقيقة وحدة الرسالة والرسل ، ووحدة دعوتهم ووقفتهم أمة واحدة في مواجهة الجاهلية المكذبة بدين الله على اختلاف الأمكنة والأزمان، وحقيقة نعمة الله على البشر وزيادتها بالشكر ومقابلة أكثر الناس لها بالجحود والكفران. وتنقسم السورة إلى مقطعين متماسكي الحلقات: المقطع الأول يتضمن بيان حقيقة الرسالة وحقيقة الرسول . ويصور المعركة بين أمة الرسل وفرقة المكذبين في الدنيا وفي الآخرة . ويعقب عليها بمث...
