A very powerful dua (to be preceeded to your personal duas or other supplications)

This dua has a great power…If this dua is included before your personal duas or daily supplications, surely Allah (SWT) will answer them (if it is khair for you). It is also narrated in the following hadith.

ABU HURAIRA [R.A.] SAID THAT ONCE THE PROPHET [PBUH] HEARD SOMEONE RECITING THE VERSES BELOW. ON HEARING THESE WORDS, THE PROPHET [PBUH] SAID THAT THIS MAN HAD PRAYED WITH THE ISM-E-AZAM [THE MOST EXALTED NAME] AND THAT WHOSOEVER PRAYS WITH THIS NAME HAS HIS [OR HER] PRAYER GRANTED BY ALLAH TA’ALAH. [ABU DAWOOD]

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

اللهم إنّي أسألك بأنّي
أشهد أنك أنت الله لا إله إلا أنت الأحد الصمد الذي لم يلد و لم يولد و لم يكن له كفوً أحد

PRONUNCIATION:

ALLAHUMMA INNI AS ALUKA BI ANNI ASH-HADDU INNAKA ANTALLA-HA LA ILAHA ILLA ANTAL AHADUS-SAMAD-ALLAZEE LAM YA LID WA LAM YOO LAD WA LAM YA KULLAHOO KUFUWWAN AHAD

TRANSLATION:

O ALLAH, I PRAY TO YOU ON THE STRENGTH THAT I BEAR WITNESS THAT YOU ALONE ARE ALLAH AND THAT THERE IS NONE WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT YOU. YOU ARE ONE AND INDEPENDENT. NO ONE WAS BORN OF YOU NOR WERE YOU BORN TO ANYONE AND THERE IS NONE THE EQUAL OF YOU.

After this say….La ilaha illa Anta Subhanaka Inni Kuntu Mina Dzhaaalimeen.

Then Say Ya Hannan Ya Mannan Ya Dhū-l-Jalāli wa-l-’ikrām followed by your personal duas/other supplications.

May Allah (SWT) accept all our duas and unite all of us in Jannah – Ameen

Shall post the etiquette of asking dua soon InshaAllah.
