DUA: The Way of Supplication

By TANER VARGONEN ANSARI

The main purpose of this book is to share with the reader the often overlooked, yet essential conditions and requirements of making dua, of turning to Allah in sincere supplication. As human beings we are wholly dependent on Allah, and in constant need of His help, whether we realize this or not. There is an established path and connection to Allah, Aqim al Salat. This is the relationship with our Rab, our Creator, and dua is an integral part of it.
As human beings we find ourselves between two realities, the reality of material existence and that of spiritual being. This book, in a small way, intends to bring us to a deeper, more profound connection with Allah in our daily lives, integrating these two realities, especially when we are reaching out to Allah in our dua.

INTRODUCTION

The main purpose of this book is to share with the reader the often overlooked, yet essential conditions and requirements of making dua, of turning to Allah in sincere supplication. As human beings we are wholly dependent on Allah, and in constant need of His help, whether we realize this or not. There is an established path and connection to Allah, Aqim al Salat. This is the relationship with our Rab, our Creator, and dua is an integral part of it.

As human beings we find ourselves between two realities, the reality of material existence and that of spiritual being. This book, in a small way, intends to bring us to a deeper, more profound connection with Allah in our daily lives, integrating these two realities, especially when we are reaching out to Allah in our dua. Shaykh Taner Ansari shares a story from an early experience that clearly illustrates the point.

"Allah knows everything I do, Allah sees me, Allah takes care of me, so why should I make any dua? For a while, I did not make any dua. Then, I was not yet a sufi. Then I realized, when you do not make dua, what are you saying? You are saying you are not needy; you do not need Allah’s help. So, I said, ‘I have to make dua because I am not in that situation.’ But what are you going to ask Allah? That is the other thing: what to ask? Finally Allah says in Qur’an-i Karim [Generous Qur’an], ‘…ask Allah of His bounty.’
