GOMBAK, 7 August 2021: The Deputy Mufti of Selangor, Sahibus Samahah Assoc. Prof. Dr. Miszairi Sitiris, emphasised the importance of du’a<\/em> in the realm of our life more so during this trying COVID-19 pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said this at the second session of Spiritual Enhancement on Thursday (5 August) organised by Kulliyyah of Islamic Revealed Knowledge and Human Sciences (KIRKHS) through Zoom platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his talk, Dr. Miszairi Sitiris shared with the audience that it is important in the morning that we consider waking up as a great blessing from God as He is giving us another chance and another day of living. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, it is highly encouraged, the moment we are up, to recite at least the following dua<\/em> and perform zikr <\/em>(or do meditation so we can contemplate about the beauty of our own self, blessings from our creator, and the chance of another day of life): <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Praise is to God who gives us life after He has caused us to die and to Him is the return<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
There is none worth of worship but God alone, who has no partner, His is the dominion and to Him belongs all praise, and He is able to do all things. Glory is to Allah. Praise is to Allah. There is none worth of worship but Allah. Allah is the Greatest. There is no might and no power except by Allahs leave, the Exalted, the Mighty. My Lord, forgive me.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Variation of part (ii):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
\u0153Our Lord! Forgive me and my parents, and (all) the believers on the Day when the reckoning will be established.\u009d [Quran: Surah Ibrahim, Verse 41]<\/em>
<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

He said we can also recite any other similar dua<\/em> that we are familiar with. Nevertheless, we are encouraged not to recite dua<\/em> which is meant to bring about calamities or harm to others, for it will, at one point in time, come back to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, when faced with a very trying time, such as now, God wants us to understand something (in fact, a lot of things \u00a6 even perhaps that we have been unnecessarily focusing on the world, neglecting and overlooking our ultimate aim of living). He wants us to be close to Him. So, work our way to try to comprehend this trying time from a positive angle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An essential thought, according to Dr. Miszairi, is to view a musibah<\/em> (trial) as a form of rahmat<\/em> (blessing) as it makes us closer to our creator. A nimah<\/em> (enjoyment, pleasures), on the other hand, can also be a form of musibah<\/em> if it drags us away from our creator.\u009d***<\/p>\n\n\n\n
