Darus-Sunnah

Sending you a little gift. A little duah that you may or may not know.

ALLAHUMMA INNI AS' ALUKA AL'AFIYAH*

*The SHORTEST BUT POWERFUL PRAYER**

*Do you know it ???*..

Al-Abbas (R.A.), the uncle of the Prophet (ﷺ), came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said:

“Ya Rasulullah, teach me a du'a.”

The Prophet ( ﷺ) said:

“O my uncle, say:

*ALLAHUMMA INNI AS' ALUKA AL'AFIYAH*

(O Allah, I ask you for afiyah).

Now what is Afiyah?

Afiyah means -

● To be saved from any afflictions, you are in afiyah.

● To be healthy, you are in afiyah.

● To have enough money, you are in afiyah.

● To live, you are in afiyah.

● To have your children protected, you are in afiyah.

●And if you are forgiven and not punished, you are in afiyah.

So basically, Afiyah means:

“O Allah, protect me from any pain and sufferings.”

This includes both dun'ya and akhirah.

Al-Abbas (R.A.) thought about this for a while, and then he came back after a few days and said (paraphrased):

“Ya Rasulullah, this du'a seems a little short. I want something big.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

“My dear uncle, ask Allah for Afiyah for Wallahi, you cannot be given anything better than afiyah.”

It is a simple du'a.

Sincerely mean what you say while praying.

“O Allah, I ask You to be saved from any:

distress,

grief,

hardship,

harm, and

don't test me, etc.”

All of this is included in

*“Allahumma inni as'aluka al'afiyah”*

(Riyadh As Saliheen, Sunan At-Tirmidhi).

Make sure to share this to others and tell your friends:

Prophet Muhammed (ﷺ) said :

“Convey from me, even if it is one verse.”

May ALLAH accept all our prayers.Ameen.
