Ruling on reciting dhikr without focus of mind and reflection
12,419Restricting adhkar and supplications to a specific number which is not mentioned in the religious texts comes under the heading of innovation (bid‘ah)
4,972The opening supplication (du‘a’ al-istiftah) and the versions narrated in hadiths
34,367I Always Make Istighfar but Don’t See Any Benefit
If a person who is asking for forgiveness experiences a delay in the arrival of a child or the occurrence of rain, it is not appropriate for him to think negatively of his Lord, may He be Exalted. Rather he must reflect and think negatively of his own self, for perhaps he is praying for forgiveness without proper focus and humility, or is merely paying lip service to praying for forgiveness, and this is an obstacle to his prayer for forgiveness being answered. Or perhaps the one who is praying for forgiveness has some sins of which he is heedless, and has not repented from them.13,074Du`a to Strengthen Faith and Get Rid of Whispers
1. Faith increases by doing acts of worship and righteous deeds, and it decreases by committing sins. So whoever wants to increase his faith, let him focus on obeying Allah and let him avoid disobeying Him. What will help him to do that is spending time with righteous people and keeping away from innovators and sinners. 2. The remedy for intrusive thoughts (Waswas) is to ignore them and turn away from them; to recite a great deal of Quran; to do great deal of righteous deeds; and to call upon Allah, may He be Glorified, and beseech Him to ward off the schemes of the Shaytan from you and to make you steadfast in adhering to the truth.10,757Reciting Adhkar More Than the Reported Numbers
1. In the case of unrestricted Dhikr, there is no specific number of times for repeating phrases; rather the individual may remember his Lord as much as a Muslim is able to. 2. In the case of restricted Dhikr, the basic principle is that the individual should adhere to what has been narrated in the religious Hadiths in terms of wording and number of repetitions, except when the text indicates that he may add to what is mentioned in the Hadith. In that case, if a Muslim adds more than one hundred, there is nothing wrong with that.8,958Wording of Tasbih, Tahmid, Takbir and Tahlil after Prayer
1- You say Subhan Allah 33 times, Al-hamdu Lillah 33 times, Allahu akbar 33 times, and you may complete 100 by saying La ilaha ill-Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahu’l-mulk wa lahu’l-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay-in qadir. 2- You can say Subhan Allah 33 times, Al-hamdu Lillah 33 times, and Allahu akbar 34 times, so the total will be 100. 3- You can say Subhan Allah 25 times, Al-hamdu Lillah 25 times, Allahu akbar 25 times, and La ilaha illa Allah 25 times, so the total will be 100. 4- You can Subhan Allah 10 times, Al-hamdu Lillah 10 times, and Allahu akbar 10 times.30,033There is nothing wrong with putting du‘aa’s and dhikrs together
2,382Writing “Ma sha Allah tabarak Allah” on the front of houses
7,294Is it permissible to say “‘adada khalqihi, wa rida nafsihi, wazinata ‘arshihi (as much as the number of His creation, as much as pleases Him, as much as the weight of His Throne)”every time after reciting Qur’an or dhikr?
