The rituals of Doa-2

In the previous post we talked about the things that are effective in the fulfillment of Doa and asking from Allah, so let’s mention some other things:

-Doing Doa in gatherings and with others.

In a gathering there are different people with different positions before Allah, so it happens so much that some of the present individuals ask Allah with the better state, so it causes the Doa of others to be accepted and fulfilled.

-Doing Istighfar before starting Doa which means asking for forgiveness from Allah.

-Resisting in Doa.

-Doing Doa with Ibtihal.

Ibtihal means just noticing to Allah and not having hope in anyone else and not considering other person or thing as the one who is independent from Allah.

-Appealing in Doa.

-Observing Taqwa and piety.

We recite in the Komayl supplication:

O Allah, forgive my sins which imprison my Doa(from being fulfilled).

-Mentioning the names of the most beloved creators of Allah to Him i.e. the infallibles as the intercessors between us and Allah and saying: O Allah, by the name of Prophet Muhammad and his progeny give me so and so.

-Doing Doa by the words of the Infallibles.

There are two kinds of Doa. The first is a Doa which is narrated from the Infallibles and the second kind of Doa is the one that we ask Allah by our own words. The Doa or the supplication of the infallibles is more effective in being fulfilled.

-Doing Doa in the times or places with are recommended like:

-In the city of Mecca.

-In the mosques.

-In the shrine of Imam Hussein especially under the dome of his shrine.

-After recommended prayers.

-At the time of recitation of the holy Quran.

– In the day of Friday.

-In the day of Arafah (the ninth day of the month of Zi Hajjah, a month of the lunar calendar).

-In the night of fifteenth of the month of Shaban, (the month before the month of Ramadan).

-In the night of Friday (meaning the night before starting the day of Friday).

-In the time of raining.

-In the month of Ramadan.

The holy Prophet of Islam said in his sermon which he delivered before starting the month of Ramadan about this holy month:

“Your Doa is accepted and fulfilled in this month.”
