Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.  (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

A few years ago, on the Qatar TV, after the aazan there used to be a prayer that about intercession, which was very beautiful, something along the lines that we pray for his intercession so that our intercession is accepted. But then again I could be wrong, what I want to know is , is there such a dua that needs to be said after the aazan and can you send it to me cause it was very beautiful. Thanks.

Another thing I was just chatting to a friend on the net and she told me she has a lot of bori friends in America so I told her about this site and told her how good it is and that she should give this site to them, she told me that one of the bori friends related this story to her, so I want to know if its true, here goes, "a bori priest told them at a gathering that once there was an old lady living in Bahrain, she died and her brother flew in from (now I dont remember,) either Pak or India to bury her, he himself put her in the grave, afterwards when he was going back to his country, he relized that he couldent find his passport, then he realized that when he was buring his sister he had it in his shirt pocket and that it had fallen in the grave. So he went to the authorites got the permission to open the grave and get his passport, when they opened the grave, his sister was siting in the grave with her hair all tied around her face". And my friend wanted to know what this story is all about. That is why I am asking you this, is there any point to this story or is it just one of the speeches these people prepare to get the crowed going.

By the way I love this site, I respect all the efforts put to give out knowledge. I am thankful to Allah that I am not a Shia or any other, but a follower of the Quran and our Great Messanger(pbuh). Dont ever get discouraged by a few crazy people, just know that there are those of us who have a thirst for the right knowledge.

Answer:

Dua after adhaan

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 17 Surah Israa verse 79:

79 And pray ‘tahajjud’ (late night prayer): an additional prayer for thee (O Mohamed (saws)): it may be that thy Lord raise thee (O Mohamed (saws)) to ‘Maqaam am-Mahmuda’ (a station of Praise and Glory)!

Abdullah ibn Amr narrated that the Messenger of Allah (saws) said, "If you hear the ‘Adhaan’ (call to prayer) repeat after it. Then supplicate for me, for whoever makes one supplication for me, Allah makes ten for him. Then ask Allah to grant me the place of ‘Al-Wasilah’. It is a place in Paradise reserved for a slave from among the slaves of Allah. I hope to be him, and whoever asks Allah to grant me the place of ‘Al-Wasilah’, my intercession becomes permissible for him."

Sahih Al-Bukhari 1.588 Narrated by Jabir bin Abdullah

Allah's Messenger (saws) said, "Whoever after listening to the ‘Adhaan’ says, “Allahumma Rabba hadhihi-d-da' watit-tammati was-salatil qa'imati, ati Muhammadan al-Wasilata wal-Fadilata, wab' athhu Maqaman Mahmudan-il-ladhi wa' adtahu; Innaka la tukhleful meaadh.” will have my intercession made permissible for him on the Day of Judgement.’

(O Allah! Lord of this perfect call and of the regular prayer which is going to be established. Kindly give Muhammad (saws) the right of intercession and superiority and bestow upon him (saws) the ‘Maqaam am-Mahmuda’ (a station of Praise and Glory) which You promised him; verily, You never ever go against Your Promises.)

Dear and beloved Sister in Islam, although Allah Subhanah is Able and Capable of doing whatever He Wills and Pleases, it is not His Sunnah or practice to display rewards and/or punishments which are visible to the human eye in the graves! If the rewards and/or punishments of Allah Subhanah in the life after death or in the graves were made visible to mankind, then the very test of ‘belief in the unseen’ would become invalid and all one would have to do to believe is open the graves and witness the result of each of the deceased!

The life of this world is but a test and a place for doing deeds; it is only in the Hereafter where the results of one’s deeds will be declared by the Lord Most Supreme, Most Majestic.

In our humble opinion, the related ‘story’ is mere heresay and one of the talks the unscrupulous prepare for the unsuspecting crowds.

May Allah Subhanah reward you with the best of this world and the Hereafter for your kind comments of encouragement for our humble efforts in the propagation of the Truth. If our humble and modest efforts have helped even one brother or sister get closer to Allah and His Deen of Truth, then we would consider ourselves indeed fortunate to have been given this opportunity by the Lord Most Merciful to serve in His Cause. We hope, beg, and pray the Merciful Lord accepts our humble and weak efforts, forgives us our shortcomings, and saves you, us, and all the believers from the torment of the Hell Fire. Ameen.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
