◆~Sayyidul Istighfar - The chief of du'aas for forgiveness~◆

Narrated Shaddad bin 'Aus: The Prophet (sallAllahu 'alyhi wasallam)
said, "The most superior way of asking for forgiveness fromAllah is:
'Allahumma anta Rabbi la ilaha illa anta. Khalaqtani wa ana 'abduka,wa
ana 'ala 'ahdika wa Wa'dika mastata'tu abu'u Laka bi ni 'matika wa
abu'uLaka bidhanbi; faghfirli fa'innahu la yaghfiru-dh-dhu nuba ill a
ant a. A'uidhu bika min sharri ma sana'tu.' If somebody recites this
invocation during the night, and if he should die then, he will go to
Paradise (or he will be from the people of Paradise). And if he
recites it in the morning, and if he should die on the same day, he
will have the same fate."
(Sahih Bukhari Volume 8, Book 75, Number 335)

A Secret for the acceptance of Dua (Supplication)

Some say: Hazrat we make a lot of dua's but it is not
accepted,students many times say that they are in difficulties, even
the ulama's and scholars request for dua's. He says: I will teach my
friends a secret for the acceptance of dua's. If you practice upon it,
InshaAllah,you will no longer need to search of the Isme Azam. You
will see it before your eyes your dua's being accepted just as you
complete it. I have experienced this not a hundred times but a
thousand times. The actionis small but the results are great. The
secret for the acceptance of dua's that the author has learnt from his
elders and that he has experienced thousands of times is:
Whenever a time comes in your life when you have the opportunity to
commit a sin and you refrain due to fear of Allah, at that very
moment, make a dua to Allah and Allah will InshaAllah, accept your dua
at that very moment.
After one has refrained from a particular sin, any dua done with full
faith, full trust and full humility comming from the depths of the
heart should suffice for acceptance.

Your Suffering is Nought

1.) The Ambiyaa (AS), including Rasulullah (Sallallaahu 'alayhi
wasallam) faced the worstof tests and trials. Thereafter the Sahabah –
e- Kiraam (RA) and accordingly many others who were close and beloved
to Allah Ta'ala.
Their lives offer us consolation and comfort that what we go through
is small in comparison.
Their tests were not 'small'. Their tests were great. ...Our tests are
small in comparison.
No one has placed you on hot, burning desert sand, and demanded that
you renounce Islam – and that too, repeatedly, day in andday out.
No one is branding your head with a hot iron rod.
No one is dragging your body over smouldering charcoal.
- as was done to the Companions (RA).
2.) The Sahabah (RA) sacrificed their lives for theDeen of Islam – for
Islam to reach us. They wrote the history of Islam with their blood.
Their whole life was proof of deep love, sincere commitment and humble
submission.
We cannot even sacrifice our sins. And we engage inthose sins using
the bounties of sight, hearing, health, strength, money – all of which
is from Allah Ta'ala.
There is just no comparison.

4a. Ruling on accepting hospitality from one whose wealth is a mixture of halaal and haraam

4a.
because the Jews – as Allah, may He be exalted, described them –
"(like to) listen to falsehood, [and] to devouranything forbidden"
[al-Maa'idah 5:42].
End quote from Fataaawa Noor 'ala ad-Darb.
See also the answer to question no. 39661
Based on that, there is nothing wrong with you accepting gifts from
your friend and eating his food.
But if your refusing to do so will have an impact on him and his
father, and will motivate them to repent, then in that case you have
to refuse.
And Allah knows best.
