Actions after prayer

One of the forms of worshiping the Almighty is dua: while saying a prayer, a Muslim turns to the Almighty with a request, and by the fact that a Muslim pronounces dua, he confirms his faith in the Creator, in the fact that only Allah Almighty is able to give the believer what he needs. By reading the dua, a Muslim confirms that the Almighty is the only one on whom a Muslim should rely and address his prayers. Dua is ibadat and it is rewarded by Allah Almighty.

Rules for making dua

Allah Almighty loves it when Muslims turn to him with requests and prayers as often as possible. When making a prayer, a Muslim must observe a certain order and adhere to a number of rules.

When making a prayer, a Muslim must turn his heart to the Creator and read dua with the intention for the sake of the Almighty. The prayer begins with the Muslim praising the Almighty (“Alhamdulillahi Rabbil ‘alamin”), reading salawat to the Prophet Muhammad (“sallallahu alayhi wa sallam”) and repenting of his sins - “Astaghfirullah.”
If a Muslim is going to express an important request in his prayer to the Almighty, then first he should perform ablution.
You should turn towards Qibla.
While making dua, the believer should hold his hands with his palms facing up in front of his face. As the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “Truly, your Lord, the Living, the Generous, cannot refuse His servant if he raises his hands in supplication.” In a hadith narrated by Anas, it is said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, while making dua, raised his hands so high that the whiteness of his armpits was visible.
It is necessary to pronounce your request with respect, the tone must be quiet so that others cannot hear it, and you cannot turn your gaze to heaven.
When the reading of the dua is completed, one should again say words praising Allah Almighty, and then say salawat to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

Dua texts for a cemetery

Allah hears all appeals and requests. He knows the intentions of those who recite the dua, regardless of the language of prayer. The Almighty knows the words and thoughts of the one asking. The main thing is sincerity, worship of Allah, humility, faith. Etiquette for visiting the dead:

At the entrance to the cemetery, those who are buried there are greeted.
You are not allowed to walk between the graves during the visit. Muslims bury their dead in a niche in the side wall of the burial pit. The deceased lie to the side of the hill.
The deceased are treated with respect. Texts from the Koran are read to them, then they pray.
Dua can be read in any language. Memorized texts and duas pronounced in your own words are acceptable when visiting graves.

In Kumyk language

Duas when visiting cemeteries and the graves of the deceased are pronounced in the Kumyk language according to the same principles as in other languages. In them one hears a call to humility Etme kui ek:

Assalamu 'ala ahhli-d-diyarri minna-l-mu'mininna val-muslimina, wa yarhamu-Llahhu-l-mustakdiminna minna val-mustahirina, wa in-na in shaa-Lahu bikum lahykunn.

Peace to the believers and Muslims lying here, may Allah have mercy on those of you and us who left earlier and those who stayed behind, but we, if Allah Almighty wants, will join you.

In Avar language

The main duas when visiting a cemetery in the Avar language:

Bolon duniyal bolyon duniyal is more necessary, those who are below the abode of those who believe below, the Almighty Allah wants, let us join the more necessary below.

Muslim tradition involves frequent reading of prayers. Duas are appeals to the Almighty and such appeals can take any form, unlike prayer. Communication with the Lord accompanies all areas of a believer’s life, including visiting the graves of the dead.

Muslims honor their ancestors, according to the Koran, respect the righteous even after their death. Before visiting the graves of relatives and friends, a Muslim reads dua, which reminds that all people are mortal and everyone will appear before Allah, each in his own hour.

What duas to read after prayer

The answer to this question is clearly revealed in the Holy Quran, where it is said: “ Your Lord has commanded: “Call upon Me, I will satisfy your duas ” (Sura Ghafir (Forgiving), verse 60), “ Turn to the Lord humbly and submissively. Verily, He does not love criminals " (Surah Al-Araf (Fences), 55th verse).

Read after completing the prayer

After performing prayer, a Muslim should recite the following dua:

“Astaghfiru Allah astaghfiru Allah astaghfiru Allah. Allahumma anta s-Salamu wa min-ka s-Salamu tabarakta ya Za-l-jalali wa-likram!”

Text of the dua after prayer with translation into Russian: “I ask Allah for forgiveness, I ask Allah for forgiveness, I ask Allah for forgiveness. O Allah! You are the Perfect One, and deliverance [from disasters] depends on You, blessed are You, O Possessor of greatness and generosity!”

According to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, prayer is worship of the Almighty. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that if a Muslim, after each prayer, reads “Subhan-Allah” thirty-three times, then “Alhamdulil-Llah” thirty-three times, then “Allahu Akbar” thirty-three times, and then says the hundredth time “La ilaha illahu wahdahu la sharika Laah, lahalul mulku wa lahalul hamdu wa hua 'ala kulli shayin kadir,” then the Almighty will forgive him all his sins, even if these sins are as many as there is a lot of foam in the sea (Sahih Muslim).

The person praying should raise his hands to the level of his chest, turn his palms up and read the duas that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ read after the prayer. A Muslim may also recite other supplications at his own discretion, but they must not contradict Shariah.

It is reported that, having performed the obligatory morning prayer, the Prophet ﷺ used to say after the taslim:

"Allahumma in-ni as'alyu-ka 'ilman nafi'an wa rizkan tayyiban wa 'amalyan mutakabbala."

“O Allah! Verily, I ask You to [endow me with] useful knowledge, [to bestow] a good destiny and [to point out] a deed that will be accepted.”

A Muslim must use prayer as a weapon that Allah Almighty has given him. As the hadith says, the Messenger of the Almighty ﷺ once invited his companions to teach them a means by which every Muslim could cope with all the misfortunes and troubles that befell him. And when they replied that they wanted this, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that such a remedy is the prayer “La illaha illa anta subhanakya inni kuntu minaz-zalimin”, and if this dhikr is read, as a dua for a brother in faith who is not present is nearby at the moment, then Allah Almighty will accept him, and the angels standing nearby will say the words: “Amen. May the same happen to you."

“Allahumma, inni astakhiru-kya bi-'ilmi-kya wa astakdirukya bi-kudrati-kya wa as'alyu-kya min fadli-kya-l-'azimi fa-inna-kya takdiru wa la akdiru, wa ta'lamu wa la a'lyamu, wa Anta 'allamu-l-guyubi! Allahumma, in kunta ta'lamu anna haza-l-amra (here a person should say what he intends to do) khairun li fi dini, wa ma'ashi wa 'akibati amri, fa-kdur-hu li wa yassir-hu li, sum barik li fi-hi; wa in kunta ta'lamu anna haza-l-amra sharrun li fi dini, wa ma'ashi wa 'akibati amri, fa-srif-hu 'an-ni wa-srif-ni 'an-hu wa-kdur lia-l -haira haisu kyana, sum ardi-ni bi-hi.”

Good Time and Action to Accept a Prayer

There are certain times or certain actions at which the Almighty first of all accepts dua from a believer:

performed after prayer in the month of Ramadan;
committed on the Night of Laylat-ul-Qadr.

Also, the last third of the night, as well as Friday, refers to the time when the Almighty hears and accepts dua after prayer. If the dua is pronounced between azan and iqamat, as well as at the time when the imam began to perform juma prayer and before the end of this prayer, then Allah Almighty will certainly accept it.

There are also certain actions when Allah Almighty accepts prayers from Muslims: after reading the Holy Quran, while a Muslim drinks zamzam water, in the rain, as well as during sajd (prostration) and after pronouncing dhikr (remembering Allah) .

There are also places in which dua should be made by a Muslim who wants the Almighty to hear and accept his prayer: these are the places in the world where Hajj is performed - Mount Arafat, the Mina and Muzdalif valleys, as well as the area around the Kaaba.

Benefits of dhikr

Dhikr is the remembrance of Allah with the tongue and heart. These are not only words and phrases pronounced after prayers, but also remembrances during meals, before starting any business, during misfortunes and, conversely, in happy moments of life. Dhikr is the door that connects a Muslim to Allah. After all, when we remember Allah, he also remembers us, this is said in the Koran in Surah al-Baqarah : “Remember Me, and I will remember you. Give thanks to Me and do not be ungrateful to Me” (verse 152). There are many verses in the Quran that talk about dhikr.

Tasbih is the repeated repetition of words or phrases of remembrance of Allah. Tasbih - (from Arabic تسبيح‎‎ - tasbih), the term which denotes the phrase “Subhana-lLah”, which means: “Holy is Allah.”

Khatm Qur'an

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, peace and blessings to our master Muhammad, his family and all his companions.

Truly, completing the recitation of the Quran (khatm) is one of the great good deeds for which a person will be rewarded many times over. It is advisable for a Muslim to complete reading the Quran from time to time and try to be consistent in this.

Allah Almighty says in the Quran:

“Verily, those who read the Scripture of Allah, perform prayer and spend from what We have provided for them, secretly and openly, hope for a transaction that will not be unsuccessful . (Sura Fatir, verse 29)

And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

من قرأ حرفًا من كتاب الله فله به حسنة، والحسنة بعشر أمثالها، لا أقول : ألم حرف، ولكن ألف حرف، ولام حرف، وميم حرف

“Whoever reads at least one letter from the Koran (will have one) good deed written down, and for (each) good deed (he will be rewarded) tenfold, and I am not saying that “Alif, Lam, Mim” is one letter, no , “Alif” is a letter, “Lam” is a letter, and “Mim” is a letter . (At-Tirmidhi)

There are many virtues in reading the Quran, as stated in various hadiths: intercession in the hereafter, advancement in degree, abundance of good deeds, strengthening of conviction (yaqin), healing of the sick, peace of mind, relief from worries in this world and many others that are not re-read.

According to Abu Musa al-Ashari (may Allah be pleased with him), it is reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

“A believer who recites the Qur'an is like a sweet lemon, with a pleasant smell and taste, and a believer who does not read the Qur'an is like a date, without smell but sweet in taste. A hypocrite who reads the Qur'an is like basil, which has a pleasant smell but is bitter in taste, and a hypocrite who does not read the Qur'an is like a coloquint, which has no odor and is bitter in taste . (al-Bukhari and Muslim) IN WHAT TIME IS IT DESIRABLE TO COMPLETE READING THE QURAN?

Some scholars have said that it is advisable to complete the recitation of the Qur'an every week, as many of the Companions and Tabieen (may Allah be pleased with them) did, and it is desirable that the period for completing the recitation of the Qur'an should not exceed one month.

'Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

““Read the entire Quran in a month.” He (who?) said: “But I feel strong in myself!” [The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)] replied: “Read it in twenty days.” He said: “But I feel strong!” [The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)] replied: “Read it in fifteen days.” He said: “But I feel strong!” [The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)] replied: “Read it in ten days.” He said: “But I feel strong!” of Allaah be upon him)] replied: “Then read it in seven days, but not less!” (Abu Daoud)

Speaking about the different periods during which the entire Quran should be read, Imam an-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) wrote:

“According to the most correct opinion, the amount of reading depends on the character of the person. He needs to limit himself to the amount of reading that will not tire him and in which his mind will be clear enough to fully reflect on what he has read.” (“At-Tibyan”, p. 80)

Some scholars believed that it is not advisable to complete the reading of the Quran in less than three days, citing a hadith from Abdullah ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him), who reported the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him):

لا يفقه من قرأه في أقل من ثلاث

“The contents of the Quran will not be clear to anyone who reads it in its entirety in less than three days . (Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi)

Hafiz Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali (may Allah have mercy on him) explains:

“The prohibition on completing the recitation of the Qur'an in less than three days applies to the case when this happens constantly. Regarding periods of time in which special virtues lie, for example, the month of Ramadan, especially nights on which the night of Destiny (Lailat ul-Qadr) may fall, or places that are allocated with (certain) dignity, for example, Mecca (for one who entered it without being a resident), then it is advisable to read the Quran at this time and in this place as often as possible. This is the opinion of Ahmad, Ishaq and other imams, and an indication of this is the practice of others (imams), as we previously wrote.” (“Lataif ul-Maarif”, 1/171)

THE DESIRABILITY OF PRONING THE WORDS OF TAKBIR AT THE END OF A SURAH SERIES

Starting from Surah Ad-Duha (93) to Surah An-Nas (114), at the end of each of these suras it is advisable to read the words of takbir. The end of the sura is not connected to the takbir, and they should be separated by a pause.

The words of takbir are the expression “Allahu Akbar”, some scholars have added the words tahlil (La ilaha illa Allah) and tahmid (Wa lillahi l-Hamd).

For example, after finishing reading Surah Ad-Duh, we read the takbir, thus:

“La ilaha illa Allah, wallahu Akbar, wa lillah il-Hamd”.

And then we immediately begin reading the next surah with the words:

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

"Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim".

And so on until the end of Surah An-Nas.

This action is a generally accepted practice, having a degree of tawatur, transmitted from scholars and imams according to qiraat.

There are hadiths about this, both marfu' and maukuf[1].

Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

“If you abandoned (saying) takbir, then you thereby abandoned one of the sunnahs of your Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).” (Imam al-Jazari, “An-Nashr fi l-qiraati l-'Ashr”, 2/415)

BEST TIME TO COMPLETE READING THE QURAN

It is advisable to complete the recitation of the Quran at the beginning of the day or at the beginning of the night, and it is advisable for a person reading alone to complete it during prayer. And it is desirable that this be during the two-rakah morning prayer or the two-rakah desired evening prayer [2] .

Ad-Darimi reported with a good isnad the words of Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him):

“If a person completes the recitation of the Quran at the beginning of the night, then the angels will pray for him until the morning, and if he completes it at the end of the night, then until the evening of the next day.”

IT IS ADVISABLE TO FAST ON THE DAY OF COMPLETION OF READING THE QURAN

On the day of completion of the reading of the Koran, it is advisable to fast, this was practiced by the companions and the Tabieen, unless the fast coincided with a day on which Sharia law prohibits fasting[3].

IT IS ADVISABLE TO START READING AGAIN AFTER COMPLETING THE QURAN

It is advisable to begin reading again immediately after completely completing the reading of the Quran, as the righteous predecessors did.

As an argument, they were guided by the hadith of Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them), which says:

قَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيُّ العَمَلِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ ؟ قَالَ: الحَالُّ الْمُرْتَحِلُ. قَالَ: وَمَا الحَالُّ الْمُرْتَحِلُ؟ English مَا حَلَّ ارْتَحَلَ.

«[One day] a certain man asked: “O Messenger of Allah! What deed does Allah love most?” [The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)] replied: “Stopping the traveler and sending him on his way again.” [He again] asked: “What does it mean to stop the traveler and set him on his way again?” [The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)] said: “[It is] reading the Qur'an from beginning to end, and every time a person stops [having completed it], he goes further, [starting to read it from the beginning ]”».

(The hadith was reported by at-Tirmidhi and said that his isnad is not strong)

IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO BE PRESENT WHERE THE FULL READING OF THE QURAN IS COMPLETED

Ad-Darimi and Ibn Abu Dawood reported the following from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them):

“He (Ibn Abbas) appointed a person to supervise whoever reads the Quran. When the reader was about to complete the complete recitation of the Qur'an, the observer informed Ibn Abbas about this, and he came to this meeting.

DUA AFTER COMPLETING READING THE QURAN

It is highly recommended to read dua after completing the Qur'an[4].

Ad-Darimi narrated the following hadith with his chain of transmitters from Humaid al-A'raj:

من قرأ القرآن ثم دعا أمن على دعائه أربعة آلاف ملك

“If someone reads the Quran and then dua, four thousand angels will say “Amin” after his dua.”

General duas should be read, for example:

“O Allah, correct our hearts, remove our shortcomings, grant us goodness, adorn us with piety, unite for us the good of this world and the next, and endow us with submission to You while we live.”

نَسْأَلُكَ الْهُدَى وَالتُّقَى، وَالْعَفَافَ وَ الْغِنَى

“O Allah, we ask You for guidance, piety, chastity and wealth.”

In the book “At-Tibyan” by Imam an-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) there are several more examples of duas, anyone can familiarize themselves with them.

[1] Marfu' is a hadith which is the speech of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Maukuf is a hadith, which is the speech of one of the companions (may Allah be pleased with them).

Verses from the Koran about dhikr

“O you who believe! Remember Allah many times and glorify Him in the morning and before sunset” (Surah al-Azhab, verses 41-42).

“Call upon your Lord humbly and in secret. Truly, He does not love criminals. Do not spread wickedness on the earth after it has been put in order. Call upon Him with fear and hope. Indeed, the mercy of Allah is close to those who do good” (Surah al-Araf, verses 55-56)

“Be patient with those who call on their Lord in the morning and before sunset and strive for His Face. Do not turn your gaze away from them, desiring the decorations of this world, and do not obey those whose hearts We have made negligent of Our remembrance, who indulge their desires and whose deeds will be in vain” (Surah al-Kaf, verse 28).

“Remember Allah with humility and fear to yourself and not loudly in the morning and before sunset, and do not be one of the careless ignorants” (Surah al-Araf, verse 205)

“They believed and their hearts were comforted by the remembrance of Allah. Is it not by the remembrance of Allah that hearts are comforted?” (Surah ar-Rad, verse 28)

“When you complete your prayer, remember Allah standing, sitting or lying on your sides...” (Surah an-Nisa, verse 103)

“Allah has sent down the best narrative - the Scripture, the verses of which are similar and repeated. For those who fear their Lord, it sends a shiver down their spine. And then their skin and hearts soften at the remembrance of Allah. This is the sure guidance of Allah, by which He guides whom He wills to the straight path. And whoever Allah misleads, there will be no guide for him” (Surah az-Zumar, verse 23).

“To those who turn away from the remembrance of the Merciful (or who are blind to Him), We will assign the devil, and he will become his companion” (Surah al-Zukhruf, verse 36).

“The devil overpowered them and made them forget about the remembrance of Allah. They are the party of the devil. Indeed, the party of the devil is the losers” (Surah al-Mujadilah, verse 19).

“O you who believe! Do not let your property and your children distract you from the remembrance of Allah. And those who do this will suffer a loss” (Surah al-Munafiqun, verse 9).

“He succeeded who purified himself, remembered the name of his Lord and performed prayer” (Surah al-Ala, verses 14-15).

There are many verses that mention dhikr, but there is simply not enough space here.
