onto the otherside. You can't get comfortable. You wake up because you
are too hot or too cold. There is some vague worry or uneasiness
keeping you awake… Did you know there is a dua forthose moments when
you wake up in the dark, stirring restlessly?
Laa 'ilaaha 'illallaahul-Waahidul-Qahhaaru, Rabbus-samaawaati
wal'ardhi wa maa baynahumal-'Azeezul-Ghaffaaru.
There is none worthy of worship but Allah, the One, the Victorious,
Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, the
All-Mighty, the All-Forgiving.
See the Arabic version here. (Reference: This is to be said if you
turn over in bed during the night. Al-Hakim graded it authentic and
Ath-Thahabi agreed 1/540. Also see An-Nasa'i, 'Amalul-Yawm wal-Laylah,
and Ibn As-Sunni. See also Al-Albani, Sahihul-Jami' As-Saghir 4/ 213).
Isn't that beautiful? Islam has a dua or prayer for every occasion. If
anyone sees that fact as a burden, he is missing the point. These duas
are not a requirement or a burden, they are gifts. They are little
gems, powerful invocations to bring your mind closer to Allah, ease
your heart, and bring peaceto your spirit.
A dua like this is a mercy from Allah, as if He is saying, here is a
way to contact me when you are in need, here are beautiful words to
comfort your soul.
SubhanAllah.
